Chapter 555 Yoshinaga Naoki’s Tangle
Yoshinaga Naoki was very nervous now. As the meeting ended, all the cartoonists and some editors left Shueisha.
He followed the crowd and walked out. When he reached the door, he looked around cautiously and soon noticed Sukeyuki Watanabe and Naoto Nakadō hiding in the corner.
The latter winked at him and then left quietly.
Yoshinaga Naoki understood what he was doing. After wiping away his cold sweat, he looked at the middle-aged man next to him and said with a smile: "Teacher Takahashi, I suddenly remembered that there are some things. I will come to visit later."
The cartoonist known as Takahashi smiled casually and waved his hand unconcernedly: "No problem, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's a rare day off today."
"Then Mr. Takahashi, I'll leave first."
After Yoshinaga Naoki bowed to the other party, he turned around quickly with a guilty conscience. While walking, he paid attention to the pedestrians around him from time to time, looking a little hurried.
"I always feel that Yoshinaga-kun is a little strange today..."
Takahashi Daiga frowned as he watched Naoki Yoshinaga leave in a hurry. He always felt something was strange.
"Well, after all, Yoshinaga is still a newcomer during the internship period. It's natural to be at a loss when encountering such a special meeting. Don't let this rare vacation go to waste."
After Miyamoto Shuichi took out his mobile phone and took a look at the schedule, Takahashi Daiga no longer suspected, and stretched easily: "It's a rare holiday, forget all the annoying things, let's go have a drink together after a long absence. !”
For cartoonists who are serializing, rest days are very rare and precious. It is better to relax at this time.
…
…
"The agreed place should be here."
Yoshinaga Naoki took out his mobile phone and looked at the message sent by the other party. If nothing else happened, it was the Japanese food store in front of him.
Putting the phone back into his pocket, he did not walk in immediately. Instead, he quietly took a few steps to the side and stared around carefully.
At the same time, he was also simulating in his mind how to walk into the store as quickly as possible without attracting attention.
There weren't too many pedestrians around, so Yoshinaga Naoshu didn't dare to be careless when walking around. He carefully paid attention to see if there were any colleagues around him. Maybe this was the so-called guilty conscience.
After standing for a few minutes, Yoshinaga Naoki finally confirmed that there were no familiar people around. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone hanging in his heart quietly fell to the ground, and he quickly walked into the Japanese food store.
"welcome!"
As soon as Yoshinaga Naoki opened the store door and walked in, there was a waiter next to him who smiled and bowed to welcome him.
This phenomenon, which can be seen everywhere with neon signs, made him feel a little unnatural. Naoki Yoshinaga could only smile awkwardly and quickly walked to the counter to explain to the service staff that he had an appointment.
"Do you need us to show you the way?" the waiter at the restaurant said with a polite smile.
"No, no need."
Yoshinaga Naoki replied politely, refused the service staff's guidance, and quickly walked up the stairs without looking back. He moved quickly and arrived at the second floor in a short time.
He stood in the corridor, and when he raised his head, he saw the agreed room, No. 201.
"Dong dong dong——"
Yoshinaga Naoki reached out and knocked gently on the door of the box, not forgetting to look around cautiously on the way.
It can be said that since arriving here, he has been in a state of fear, always feeling like someone is following him behind him.
If the matter is exposed, the consequences will definitely be serious, but what if it is not exposed?
With such a sense of luck, Yoshinaga Naoki came here.
There was a "click" sound.
The door to box No. 201 also opened, and the person who opened the door was Sukeyuki Watanabe.
After seeing the person coming, Watanabe Sukiyuki suddenly became happy and greeted him enthusiastically: "Hey, isn't this Yoshinaga-kun? You are finally here! Come in quickly! We are here just for you. A sumptuous table of food has been prepared!”
"excuse me."
Faced with Watanabe Sukiyuki's kind invitation, Yoshinaga Naoki smiled unnaturally. The former didn't mind at all when he saw this. Instead, he put his hand on the latter's shoulder and pulled him into the box. .
"Yoshiyong, long time no see! Did everything go smoothly?"
Naoto Nakadou, who was sitting in his seat, stood up and waved to Naoki Yoshinaga, who had no choice but to sit down with a stiff face. Upon seeing this, Naoto Nakadou patted the other person on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and spoke directly as soon as he came up. Tiao Ming: "We are waiting for good news from Jiyong?"
Watanabe Sukiyuki also took advantage of the situation and sat down, and together with Naoto Nakado, surrounded Naoki Yoshinaga.
After hearing what Naoto Nakado said, Yoshinaga Naoki began to struggle again, and began to hesitate in his heart. There were two different voices arguing with each other deep in his heart.
When he came here, he thought about turning around and leaving. After all, if this kind of thing was exposed, his job would be over.
But remembering what Watanabe Sukeyuki said to him last time, Yoshinaga Naoki was very hesitant.
The reason why he knew these two people was because he had worked as a temporary worker at a newspaper before. When he saw that the newspaper needed manpower temporarily, he applied for the job. Later, he met Sukeyuki Watanabe and Naoto Nakado because of work.
The relationship between the two parties is also very ordinary, that of senior and junior, and they are not too familiar with each other.
As soon as the newspaper's contract period expired, Naoki Yoshinaga left directly.
For quite some time after that, he was worried about not finding a job, and his life could be said to be quite embarrassing.
When passing by the station, he saw an advertisement that Shueisha was applying for editors. Naoki Yoshinaga went directly without thinking much. Unexpectedly, he actually applied successfully, although he was still an assistant during the internship period.
However, as long as you continue to work in a down-to-earth manner, you will still have a chance to become a regular employee. Although the chance is very small, it is still worth a try.
Moreover, the benefits for Shueisha editors are pretty good, so it would be a good choice to continue working here.
In Neon, most companies' jobs are basically long-term contracts. Many people choose the company after graduation, and most of them will basically work in that company until they retire.
Therefore, everyone is very cautious when choosing a company.
Moreover, if you quit a company after working for a short period of time, it is easy for other companies to leave the impression that this person is very frivolous. At that time, it will be very difficult to work for a good company again.
The neon environment is like this, with both good and bad aspects.
Why are things like this?
This has to start a few days ago. Yoshinaga Naoki accidentally met Watanabe Sukiyuki at an izakaya after get off work. They drank a few drinks with each other. Yoshinaga Naoki said a lot of things while drunk, so the other party also knew about it. My own job and lack of money.
In the end, Watanabe Sukiyuki said some "serious words" and left a business card before leaving, and things became what they are now.
