Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"If anything happens, remember to tell me."

"I'm going back."

After the receptionist left...

The authors waiting there all turned to look at Bai Feng, their eyes filled with jealousy and envy.

After all, the receptionist just brought them water.

Where would you find someone so enthusiastic, even offering snacks?

Although there are snacks right there, anyone can take them if they want.

But the receptionist never reminded them!

They naturally wouldn't be so shameless as to just take it directly.

However, since most of the people present were there to have their manuscripts reviewed by the editors, and their minds were not on this, no one said anything.

Since everyone was a stranger, there was hardly any conversation, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Shiro Shiro had no intention of chatting with strangers; he simply read the literature book in his hand while waiting.

at this time.

The elevator doors were slowly pushed open.

A punk-dressed adult man slowly walked over, his expression arrogant, and said rudely to the receptionist:

"I am Seiji Shindo, and I have an appointment for 5:30."

"Tell your editors to make time for me first, I have other things to do later."

The receptionist paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay, please wait a moment."

"I've already notified the editor."

"They'll come to see you when they have time."

"Please sit down and wait a moment."

Seiji Shindo snorted coldly:

"Tell him to hurry up!"

"They're all garbage manuscripts, what's the point of reading them? You might as well deal with mine first."

"A major publishing house, yet its work efficiency is so low?"

"If you don't want to read it, I have a ton of other publishers who want this manuscript!"

The receptionist gave an awkward smile, but she had seen quite a few arrogant authors like this before, and could only say helplessly:

"I'll let the editor know and get it done quickly."

"Please sit down and wait a moment."

Seiji Shindo looked disgusted:

"Then tell him to hurry up!"

Those waiting nearby who witnessed this scene couldn't help but frown.

I just felt that this person's attitude wasn't very good.

"Ok."

Although the receptionist didn't like serving these people either, that was her job, so she could only helplessly hand him a glass of water and then return to her workstation.

After she sat down, she curiously started searching online for this person named Shindo Seiji.

After searching for some information.

She discovered that this person seemed to have been an author for another publishing house before, and had even published a work.

Although the sales figures weren't particularly good.

However, they are still better off than other ordinary authors.

She's the kind of author who's neither good enough for high-level content nor good enough for low-level content.

Since this person has already achieved success, why did they suddenly switch publishers?

Could something have happened?

The receptionist searched again and found that many people commented that his work was mediocre, but his character and temper were terrible.

Could it be that he was rejected by other publishers because of his bad temper?

The receptionist wasn't sure either, but she felt this person looked troublesome, so she didn't intend to say anything more.

Anyway, this isn't the first time I've encountered such an arrogant author.

You get used to it after seeing it so many times.

She's been working here for a while now and has noticed that most of the authors have an air of arrogance, believing that only their own work is the best.

But reality is often cruel.

Not all authors can maintain their quality and make every work a bestseller.

Even the most popular authors right now are the same.

And these young people, still full of pride, will eventually have their edges smoothed out by reality.

She had met many people like Seiji Shindo before.

However, most of them disappeared after publishing one or two works.

When they met again later, they had all lost their temper, and some had even given up writing and gone to work or do odd jobs.

Although she didn't particularly enjoy entertaining people like Seiji Shindo, there was nothing she could do; work was work.

The receptionist turned to look at Shiro Kaede, who was quietly reading a book, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, making her feel much better.

Thinking back on all the time I've been working here, this is the first time I've seen such a handsome author, and so young too.

I'm just not sure what the work is like.

Meanwhile, Seiji Shindo, who was sitting on the sofa and gulping down his water, was bored and started scanning the other people who were waiting.

When they see most people, they look at them with disdain.

I have a feeling that most of these people will be rejected by the editors.

But when his gaze swept over Bai Feng, he couldn't help but frown.

Finally, I couldn't help but let out a cold snort!

He's good-looking, but he's just a high school student, a young kid.

In today's superficial Japanese society, most high school students spend their days eating, drinking, and having fun. What profound works can such high school students produce?

It's probably just kids playing house!

Moreover, the fact that Shendai Baifeng is sitting here means that he himself is a new author with no real talent.

After all, accomplished authors don't need to wait here; instead, the editors will arrange their time in advance and take them in.

Some popular authors and even editors would go to their homes to treat them well, fearing that the famous authors would give their manuscripts to other publishers.

If he hadn't had a minor disagreement with his previous publisher, he wouldn't have come to this publisher and ended up waiting here like a newcomer.

snort!

Once my work is published here, it will definitely become a huge hit!

When the Lightning Library Publishing House realizes it missed out on such a talented author, won't it regret it to death?

at this time.

At the publishing house.

Chinatsu Igarashi was being criticized by her team leader in a bad mood.

"Igarashi-san, you need to work harder! You've been with the company for six months now, why haven't you met your performance targets yet?"

Chinatsu Igarashi also wants to meet her sales targets!

Unfortunately, she really couldn't find any other good manuscripts.

Moreover, she wasn't the only one in the group who didn't meet the standards.

Aren't the other editors the same?

After all, good authors are hoarded by you veteran editors; you're not going to let them out.

As for new editors like them, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Every day, they search among a bunch of new people.

It's considered incredibly lucky to encounter even a few promising new authors in a year.

But to be fair, the team leader didn't scold her much, so he was a pretty good person.

So she could only awkwardly bow and apologize.

"I'm so sorry!"

"I will definitely work hard from now on!"

The team leader shook his hand helplessly:

"Never mind, let's go back to work."

"Work hard!"

After coming out, Chinatsu Igarashi sighed, walked to the computer, and saw that she still had several appointments for today.

Seeing this only made her more distressed.

I'm guessing I'll have to work overtime again tonight, reviewing manuscripts.

There are no problems with reading the manuscript.
