In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

Takahashi Feng felt that his days as a human being were coming to an end.

"Sexy what?"

"Sexy pretty girls..."

It's the kind of elf girl who is very powerful and can unite people's hearts. She wears cool clothes, strikes very provocative poses, and then puts the cover of the male protagonist's light novel in some strange position.

Everybody likes this.

Takahashi Kaede already fully understood what Asada was going to say.

It turns out that pornography is the only driving force of human beings.

"That's right! A revealing cover, outstanding appearance, and an item that makes people unable to take their eyes off! If you collect these three, men, women, and children will take a second look when they pass by!"

"This cover of yours is too conservative. Even though it has a magical feel, you can't make money with a magical feel. If you want to be popular, you have to be erotic!"

Asada slammed the table and finally got to the point.

I have to say, although it is vulgar and frowned upon, this is indeed an approach that Takahashi Kaede could not have thought of and which has an obvious effect.

The main thing is that even if he thought about it, he wouldn't dare to do it. This cover picture was drawn by him and Eriri together.

As a mature editor, Machida Sonoko had long been aware of Takahashi Kaede's precocity and did not react too much.

Kashiwagi Eiri...Teacher Eriri pretended to be calm and had an expression that said 'so that's how it is'.

Goto Ichiri did not show much emotional fluctuation.

What is eroticism? Is it the kind that wears very little? Does Xiao Feng like pretty girls who wear very little?

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing that Goto Ichiri seemed to understand, Takahashi Feng became a little anxious but didn't know what to say.

"And it's not just the cover, the content has to be changed too! Your love lines are too shallow and too few. You can write a brilliant story, but you must always remember that the adolescent boys and girls who read the book are attracted most by deep emotions! What do you mean by 'as they travel together, they gradually fall in love'? You absolutely cannot write like that. There is no drama at all. You have missed the point!"

It seems that Asada read Takahashi Kaede's manuscript carefully and summarized the emotional line written by Takahashi Kaede right away.

"You have to weave in crises in the story, create a strong-weak contrast through design, with the hero being strong and the heroine being weak, and then go and save them! Of course, you can do the other way around, too. Young people today buy into this!"

"Emotions are always the most talked-about topic among human beings. As long as you write well about this aspect, it doesn't matter if the other aspects are a little weak!"

After finishing the summary, Asada seemed to be tired, took a sip of water, and then looked at Takahashi Kaede, as if wanting to know what he thought.

"But I'm not good at writing... Never mind, now is not the time to say I'm not good at it. I will learn. But the question about the cover, this is really... not good enough."

Asking your elementary school classmate to draw adult comics? No matter how you think about it, it will lead to jail time.

"No, the cover is the most important. The content is used to keep people, and the cover is used to attract people. I'm sure you can guess it."

Asada took a tough stance.

"If you want to be my subordinate, then this is the necessary change you have to make!"

This old gangster!

Machida Sonoko cursed inwardly, saying that it was bad enough that he had seduced Takahashi Kaede to say such things, but he also coerced others to draw 18X.

Have you noticed that the average age of these children in front of you is nine to ten years old?

But Mr. Asada obviously did not consider these things. He has his own professional ethics and should raise the issues that need to be raised. He should not be hesitant because of the different circumstances.

In order to create outstanding works, you have to go through the necessary hardships and struggles!

"Eri, do you... think you can do this?"

Ying Lili pursed her lips and looked away, seeming unwilling.

Takahashi Feng understood and did not ask any further questions. He also decided to reject Asada's suggestion.

Even cruel things have their limits, and people have to stick to their bottom line.

"Since the current partner can't meet the requirements, let's look for the next one! The theme of the light novel is the novel, the author is the key, and the illustrator can be changed at any time!"

Asada whispered, tempting Takahashi Kaede to propose a plan to make Eriri quit the team.

He really likes this novel, and he is sure that if Takahashi Kaede modifies it according to his instructions, it will definitely become a hit!

It is also his principle not to bury any talent that he has. In his opinion, Takahashi Kaede is much more important than Eriri as a painter.

"Your original proposal is a small win, if you change the content it's a medium win, and if you change the cover it's a big win! I only accept big wins!"

"If you are concerned about the lack of an artist, I can help you contact an artist I know."

Asada looked at Takahashi Kaede expectantly.

"...I'm sorry, I can't accept this request. I can't kick out members of a startup team for personal gain."

He is not short of money. He is writing novels now purely to carry on the last wish of his previous life. After all, it is his main job, and he still wants to achieve some results.

When his grades and partners are at odds with each other, Takahashi Kaede cannot allow himself to betray.

"Foolish! If you don't follow my advice, no matter how much effort you put into this, it will only bury your words. Little girl, do you really want to see your friend's hard work disappear in the sea of ​​people? He could have gained glory, popularity, and stood at a very high place!"

Asada's devilish nature was exposed.

Chapter 53: Grafting

Asada extended his devilish hand towards Eriri, whose face was a little pale. It seemed that as long as he could not bury the work, he would not hesitate to be the villain who dismantled the team.

"Eri, don't push yourself."

If Takahashi Kaede's character said too much, it would be considered as putting pressure on Eriri to make a decision, so he didn't say too much.

But his worried eyes still revealed his thoughts.

Eriri is a good child. If one day a prestigious person says that she has hindered someone's growth, she will definitely leave that person resolutely.

Even if she was reluctant, she certainly didn't want to hold others back.

Although Eriri also looked like she was struggling, the direction of her struggle was different from what Takahashi Kaede expected.

"Feng, I've made up my mind. You should listen to Mr. Asada and find a painter who's better than me."

She looked up and said with a firm look.

"You have put much more effort into this work than I have. After all, I am just a helper. I didn't draw all those paintings by myself. You don't have to ruin the future of the work just for my sake."

"It's okay. Once the work is successfully published, we can still celebrate, right?"

Eriri smiled and comforted Takahashi Kaede, and even told him in detail where they would like to go for dinner if the work sold well.

“So expensive…”

What 'Quintessence' and 'Matsukawa' made his head a little numb. These were some of the best restaurants in Japan, the kind that ordinary families simply couldn't afford.

It is equivalent to those star-rated restaurants in China where the average consumption per person exceeds 10,000 yuan.

When Takahashi Feng turned his head to look at Eriri while she was talking, he was paying attention to her expression.

But whether it was the raised eyebrows, the eyes slightly narrowed because of the smile, or the natural facial muscles, it seemed that she really did not force herself, had no reluctance, or anger because her efforts were not rewarded. She only had the purest blessings.

"Eri...."

Gao Qiaofeng murmured her name, feeling a little touched. He didn't expect that she could be so tolerant of him.

"Okay, no matter if my work sells well or not, I will definitely take you to eat!"

"Oh~~~ No need, I was just kidding, Feng, don't take it to heart. These restaurants are very expensive even for us. I'll ask dad to treat you, why would I let you treat me?"

Seeing Takahashi Kaede's serious look, Eriri felt something was wrong and hurriedly explained.

"It seems that the two of you have reached an agreement?"

Asada, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. It seemed that he had been paying attention to the conversation between Takahashi Kaede and Eriri.

Takahashi Feng glanced at Eriri, and only spoke after seeing her nod.

"Well, let's change the artist. I will also change the content according to your request. I just hope that Mr. Asada can always stay at the forefront of the market and not make any mistakes."

Takahashi Kaede said this with great courage.

In fact, his original idea for this work was just to test the waters. If it could be completed it would be a success, and if it could generate income that would be the best.

What surprised him was the high evaluation given to it by editor Asada. In fact, this novel was ultimately a plagiarism, but the plagiarism was of the text he had written in his previous life.

He quoted the already mature settings of regions, countries, and ethnic groups, and then gave them all Western fantasy names. The biggest originality was the main line of finding artifacts.

In fact, he didn't expect what happened today.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Asada suddenly burst into laughter, disturbing the public again.

If the cafe hadn't had a clear rule against making loud noises, he would have been kicked out long ago.

"Hahahaha! Great! That's what I've been waiting for you to say. Don't worry, even if it costs me my name, I will sell your novel well!"

Machida Yuanzi was a little surprised. How could this deputy director be so confident?!

It seems that he is indeed confident in the content.

"I was surprised. I was really surprised. In fact, when I read your manuscript, I began to thank Machida from the bottom of my heart! I was able to see this kind of work."

It seemed that the matter was over. Asada calmed down, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, blew away the dust on them, and then wiped them carefully with a handkerchief.

"In the beginning, I actually had no expectations for your work, Takahashi Kaede. As for why I came here, you know. Machida told me that you were a teenager, and my perception of teenagers is that they are arrogant and immature. I admit that I am naturally prejudiced against teenagers. I think it is impossible for such people to write good works."

When talking about the intention, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Asada subconsciously took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but took it back after noticing that there were many ladies around.

"There are very few talented writers. They have stepped on the bodies of so many of their peers and climbed so high. I am an editor and I know it well. But when I saw you, do you know what I was thinking?"

"Are you worried about me?" Gao Qiaofeng tried to answer.

Asada shook his head.

"Is this Machida Sonoko making fun of me? That was my first thought."

Machida Sonoko turned her head away awkwardly so that Asada could not see her face.

"But when I saw the big stack of manuscripts you were holding, I felt that no matter what, I had to finish reading what you wrote. In fact, I also wrote novels when I was a child, but I struggled for a long time, from elementary school to junior high school, and from junior high school to high school. I always wanted to write down the ideas that suddenly popped up in my mind on paper and show them to my classmates."

"But I didn't dare to try until I was in high school, when I learned about submissions. I know it's hard to write something and submit it online. Takahashi, I admire you very much, not only because you can communicate with me calmly and confidently, but also because of your maturity, knowledge, and courage! You are just an elementary school student, but you have such courage!"

"You are only nine years old now, and you have already reached this level. I dare not imagine what you will be like when you are nineteen!"

Asada stood up, leaned forward, and extended his right hand forward.

"Takahashi-kun, this is your debut work, I will do my best to help you, please give me your guidance in the future!"

"Mr. Asada, you too."

His meaning was very clear. Gao Qiaofeng also stood up, and his small hands and big hands were tightly clasped together.

There was no heated discussion about the novel afterwards. The two exchanged contact information, and then Asada made some suggestions on the emotional lines that Takahashi Kaede needed to add.

In general, the heroine should give benefits to the hero, and this benefit must be private, and cannot be shown to passers-by like in old cartoons.

This kind of plot would be criticized nowadays.

Chapter 54: Open a small account? Open a large account!

Takahashi Feng wrote them down one by one in his notebook. Asada also recommended several works to him for reference, which he also wrote down in his notebook.

Finally, in a harmonious and not too disturbing atmosphere, everyone parted ways. Machida Sonoko and Asada were going back to their workstations, while Takahashi Kaede and the other two wanted to continue strolling around the street.

"Xiao Feng, do you really like beautiful girls?"

The three of them were walking on the street when Goto Ichiri suddenly asked.

"Ichiri, I didn't bring you out here to let you think about these things. Did you listen carefully to our conversation just now? Mr. Asada used a lot of business grammar. Did you remember it~~"

Rubbing Goto Ichiri's head vigorously, Takahashi Kaede looked at her with kind eyes.

"I was wrong."

Only when he saw Goto Ichiri begging for mercy did Takahashi Kaede stop.

"It's human nature to like pretty girls. When you grow up, you will definitely like handsome boys too."

"I don't like handsome boys (whispering)"

"Also, if you are the protagonist in such a formal occasion in the future, don't fall asleep. Others will think you are very impolite! It's a good thing you are just an elementary school student." Gao Qiao Feng warned earnestly.

"If I had a choice, I would never have to go through this kind of situation in my life. Stop rubbing it, my brain is going to break!!"
