Started as a comics editor

Chapter 76 Shivering and Cold

Chu Yuxin stared blankly at her empty workstation.

It took a while before I realized what was happening... I suddenly clenched my fist! I was so angry that I was shivering!
It’s fine if they don’t pay their wages! It’s fine if they stop working! Now they haven’t paid their wages yet, and even the workstations have been emptied! This is really too much! Why don’t you pay the wages first?

No!

Chu Yuxin became angrier the more she thought about it. She suddenly turned around, looked towards Si Jinliang's office, and walked over.

Murderous!
at the same time.

Tang Yao still knew nothing about what was happening outside. What she cared about more was what Li Xue said: "Who are you looking for? Forget about that teacher Rumi...you mean Ou Congquan?"

Tell the truth.

She really didn't expect Li Xue to talk about this person.

Although Ou Congquan is also a well-known cartoonist, both he and his cartoons are very famous, and his painting skills are also excellent.

But looking for him? Tang Yao thought it would be good if they didn't quarrel with each other when they met again.

"..."

Li Xue seemed to have guessed Tang Yao's reaction and chuckled, "Have you not paid attention to the follow-up of "Girl, Boy and Sword"? "

"I've already resigned... and I've already checked the storyboards for the next issue of that comic. Of course, I didn't pay attention to it. What's wrong?"

Tang Yao was curious: "Readers are dissatisfied?"

"No, I am satisfied."

Li Xue shook her head and explained, "Although many readers were still criticizing it before the release, after all, even though the manga award reversed the trend, there were still many readers who were still upset. They wouldn't stop criticizing it just because of Fate/Zero... But they only criticized it before the release, and when the second half of the month's magazine was released, the readers calmed down.

Although some people are still upset about the terrible development in the previous issue, the vast majority of readers have accepted that the development in the previous issue was an illusion. Many people even expressed their sympathy for the heroine because she was affected by "all the evil in the world" and was only worried about the death of the hero.

Furthermore, this time, the foreshadowing from the previous chapters is reclaimed through the use of hallucinations, and each character is further developed... The overall impression is very good, with some readers even commenting that Ou Congquan seems to have returned to his peak. The impact of the previous issue still lingers, more or less, but Ou Congquan has indeed overcome this crisis."

"..."

Tang Yao curled her lips: "He's lucky, but since he passed, there's no way I'd look for him, right?"

"The problem is, when a reader praised him for being back to his peak, he replied that it was all thanks to you."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao's pretty face and chuckled, "And I heard that on the day you sent your resignation letter, he personally called the vice president of Wenxin Pavilion and repeatedly asked if it was because of him that you resigned. He even went to the editorial department... You don't know, such a successful cartoonist would never come to the editorial department.

The most important thing is that after you left, Ou Congquan was the first cartoonist to be assigned as the new editor... It is said that the editor who is now in charge of Ou Congquan was called over by him as soon as he took office, but when the editor ran to Ou Congquan's house trembling with fear, ready to be scolded, he found that Ou Congquan's attitude was unexpectedly good, as if he had become a different person, and even discussed the plot with him.

You know, Ou Congquan is notoriously difficult to deal with... so the new editor was flattered and came back to talk about it as a topic of conversation, which caused quite a stir in the male editorial department.

As for why he changed like this... you should know, right?"

Tang Yao was silent for a moment, then turned her head away: "...How would I know?"

"You really don't know? All the editors in the men's department know this."

Li Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw Tang Yao's actions: "All this is because of you...all your efforts have not been in vain. Although you are not the ultimate beneficiary, I think the editor who is in charge of Ou Congquan now will be very grateful to you, because it was you who changed Ou Congquan.

Ou Congquan made such a change out of his deepest gratitude and admiration for you... Anyone can see that, which is why I think we can invite him to give it a try."

"Forget about inviting him. He left me with too many painful memories. I don't really want to see him."

Tang Yao turned around and said awkwardly, "And it's hard to say how long his change will last... I just fulfilled my responsibilities, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with me."

"..."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao, who seemed a little awkward, and a bright smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

Serious, responsible and reliable, but also has a tsundere side.

So cute...

"what?"

Tang Yao noticed that Li Xue was looking at her with a silly smile, and raised her fair little hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Li Xue always speaks her mind: "No, I just think you're cute."

"..."

Tang Yao rolled her eyes when she heard that. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." She had been with Tang Xun and Li Xue for a long time.

She unknowingly picked up their habits.

He would never do this in his previous life.

She has gradually changed her identity...

"Forget about Ou Congquan, but as for that teacher Rumi..."

Tang Yao changed the subject and continued, "That doesn't seem plausible. Would a great cartoonist like her really agree? It would be fine if the game we made was related to his comics, but it's not related at all..." "Didn't he invite you on social media to serialize it in his magazine?"

Li Xue blinked her eyes and said, "It seems that she is very optimistic about you. You can ask her. It won't hurt to ask her anyway."

"That's right... I'll contact them then."

Tang Yao thought about it and nodded.

Of course, she had seen the works of that teacher Rumi. His painting style was extremely exquisite, and his character drawings were excellent. He was very good at depicting the astringent side of female characters...

It feels quite suitable... Although there are more or less some problems when cartoonists switch to other fields, they can also bring new styles, plus the added bonus of fame.

Not a loss.

Just do it.

Tang Yao picked up her phone and sent a private message to Teacher Rumi.

Of course, the reply is not that fast. Such a great cartoonist receives countless private messages every day.

"All right."

Tang Yao put down her phone: "I hope she follows the account of the third-rate painter, otherwise I don't know when she will reply."

"...Based on the current popularity of Fate/Zero, she should pay attention to you."

Li Xue comforted him, "By the way, I can also help you find a cartoonist who is willing to switch careers."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Li."

"No need... If you really want to thank me, why not just act cold and ruthless."

Li Xue pointed at the fourth stage black Saber on Tang Yao's screen, and couldn't forget it.

Because she really wanted to see Tang Yao wearing it.

Tang Yao didn't expect that she could go back. She glanced at the screen and imagined herself dressed like that. A hint of shyness appeared on her pretty face, and she immediately replied: "...I won't wear that. I'm very cold and ruthless now."

Li Xue pointed at the screen: "I want this kind of cold and ruthless."

"Then wear it yourself!"

“I am wearing it.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xue immediately stood up.

Tang Yao was sitting, and because of the height difference, Li Xue's pair of round and well-proportioned long legs were right in front of her. The soft black stockings were tightly attached to her thigh skin, and the flesh color was faintly visible at her knees, which seemed to have a charm that touched the soul.

Tang Yao glanced at it... and then glanced again, and replied, "Your stockings are just black."

Li Xue glanced at Tang Yao who was sitting. Even when she was sitting, her pair of long legs with amazing proportions and perfect shape were impeccable.

This requires wearing stockings...

"...Then you should just wear black stockings. You're taller than me, so you'll definitely look better."

"No."

"want!"

Li Xue tempted, "It's very comfortable, if you don't believe me, just touch it.

"..."

When Tang Yao heard this, she didn't know why, but she subconsciously reached out and gently pinched her plump yet beautiful black thighs.

...unexpectedly soft.

Li Xue's delicate body trembled, as if she didn't expect that she would really pinch... Her delicate and soft face was stained with a hint of blush.

And just then.

dong dong——

There was a knock on the door and it was pushed open.
