"Young Master Nangong?" Ayano Iida repeated after hearing the chief editor's words.
The editor-in-chief ignored her and continued to read the work…
In just a short while, he finished reading all three chapters of the submission. As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier. The chief editor's expression did not change after reading it, unlike the other editors.
The editor-in-chief nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile,"Alright, alright! It's indeed a rare masterpiece!"
Then, he turned to look at Iida Ayano and said,"Editor Iida, I'll leave this work to you to sign!”
"Now?" Ayano Iida asked in surprise. The competition isn't over yet!"
"Yes, this person is a little special. If the author is really Young Master Nangong, then sign it now!”The chief editor explained to Ayano Iida and continued," As for the ranking of the competition, we will publish it after the competition. It will not affect the signing of the contract.”
Ayano Iida nodded to show that she understood. She then asked curiously,""Chief Editor, may I ask who this Young Master Nangong is?”
The editor-in-chief pondered for a moment and said,"Fine, since you want to be his editor in charge, there's no harm in telling you.”
As he spoke, he gestured for the others to leave.
The other editors looked at Iida Ayano enviously, but they still turned around and left, returning to their posts.
Seeing that everyone had left, the chief editor and Iida Ayano came to the side. The chief editor only whispered a sentence.
"Our Free Guest Bookstore…is under the Nangong Family.”With that, the chief editor left, leaving Iida Ayano standing there with a look of understanding on her face.
" No wonder..." Ayano Iida muttered to herself and smiled." Then I'm really looking forward to meeting this Young Master Nangong."”
After that, he walked briskly back to his seat.
……
Toyosaki Academy.
Nangong Yan was having lunch with the three girls.
Shiyu Kasumigaoka ate her lunch and sighed,""I didn't expect that the Flame Lord would actually prepare lunch for us.”
"It's not troublesome. The dishes are all the same, but the amount is a little more. Moreover, there's Hui's help. It saves a lot of trouble!”Nangong Yan waved his hand, indicating that the girls didn't mind.
Buzz ~! Nangong Yan picked up his phone and looked at it. Yes, it was a number he didn't recognize.
"Let me take this call first." After saying that to the three women, Nangong Yan picked up the call from an unknown number.
"Hello, are you Teacher Nangong?”A mature female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Teacher Nangong? Nangong Yan thought for a moment and understood that it should be about the comics.
Seriously, was Ying Lili's mouth blessed? I just finished it this morning!
"That's right, I'm Nangong. May I know who you are?”Nangong Yan also asked politely. He guessed that it should be the editor.
Ayano Iida was surprised. What a young voice. It should be Young Master Nangong.
" Hello, Teacher Nangong. I'm Iida Ayano, the manga editor of Manke Weekly. I'm contacting you this time because of the contract issue with your manga,'Nozaki-kun, a monthly magazine girl'.”Ayano Iida calmly stated the purpose of the call.
Aya Iida? Nangong Yan was slightly surprised. This familiar name was Mashiro Shiina's manga editor!
This chaotic world had shocked Nangong Yan several times, but he quickly calmed down. The voice on the other end of the phone came again,""Teacher Nangong?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a little surprised. Isn't the competition not over yet? Why did you sign the contract?" Nangong Yan asked in confusion.
"You're right, but it doesn't affect us signing a contract with you. After the competition ends, we'll announce the rankings.”
Nangong Yan understood that works with great potential would definitely be given preferential treatment. Otherwise, what if they were poached by other publishing houses?
I can sign the contract, but I don't have time now!
"Editor Iida, I'm at school now. How about two days later?" Nangong Yan said with some difficulty. We'll meet on Saturday to discuss the signing of the contract.”
"Okay, Teacher Nangong, where shall we meet on Saturday?”Ayano Iida asked.
Nangong Yan thought about Shawu, who was afraid of strangers, and said,""I'll leave it to Editor Iida to decide!”
"Then…Alright, I'll inform Teacher Nangong once I've decided on the location.”
"Teacher Nangong, you are busy, so I won't disturb you. Goodbye.”Iida Ling said goodbye.
"I didn't disturb you. See you next time."
After hanging up the phone, Nangong Yan saved Iida Ayano's number. He looked at the three girls who were looking at him and shrugged."Ask whatever you want to ask!"
"Nangong, was it the editor who called you just now?" Ying Lili couldn't help but ask. Is it 'Weekly Girls'?"
"Yeah, I'm quite surprised too! She didn't expect to receive a call today after she uploaded it yesterday.”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu continued to ask,"Flame Lord, didn't you participate in the competition?" Why did I hear you talk about signing a contract?”
Nangong Yan smiled." He was afraid that I would run away and join another publishing firm, so he tried to rope me in advance!"”
"So, Flame King has already decided to sign the contract?" Kato Megumi asked.”
If he hadn't decided at the start, he had already decided to sign the contract after hearing the name Iida Ayano.
Nangong Yan nodded and replied," Yes, I originally planned to let her come to my house this weekend to discuss the signing of the contract. But I thought that Shawu was quite afraid of strangers, so I let her decide the location!"”
" Oh right..." Speaking of Shawu, Nangong Yan remembered what he had promised Shawu. He turned to Ying Lili and said," Ying Lili, I told Shawu last night that you should meet her in her room after school today!"”
Ying Lili looked as if she had seen a ghost and asked Nangong Yan in shock,""You said Shawu wants to see me today? Didn't she disappear after moving to your house? What did you do?"
Nangong Yan took a step back and smiled awkwardly.""Hehe, I told her about Bai Mu Li staying over, and she reluctantly agreed.”
“！！！”
" You bastard!!!" Ying Lili jumped up and wanted to grab him, but Nangong Yan immediately ran away.
"Stop right there!" Ying Lili chased after him while shouting," How many people are you going to tell about me?!"!”
Nangong Yan ran around Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Kato Megumi and explained,"Only the few of us know. Besides, Shawu will join our club in the future. It's fine to let her know in advance.”
"Besides, I want her to grow up as soon as possible, whether it's in painting or other aspects.”
Ying Lili finally stopped, panting heavily, and said in a bad mood,""Isn't she already powerful enough? The industry is very famous, but I'm only in the doujin industry!”
Nangong Yan also stopped and said seriously,"The gauze mist still has a huge weakness. Ying Lili, you and I also feel that you can improve more. It's good for the two of you to exchange pointers!”
Ying Lili didn't say anything, but she seemed to agree with Nangong Yan's words.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked,""Flame Lord, could it be that…there is nothing Hui and I can do?”
