Chapter 244 The Female Boss of Springfield Bookstore

It was a first for him to be invited to meet the top leader of the comics club after only three months of joining.

Oda Shingo felt that Springfield Bookstore must be eager to recruit talents.

After he learned that he was going to meet, he immediately checked some details of Springfield Bookstore on the Internet, especially the news of the leader Haruta Sadako.

Springfield Bookstore lacks top cartoonists. Although it has produced many famous works and cartoonists over the years, there is no one who has reached the top. There is always a little short of it.

So Oda Shingo made the first judgment with confidence: the president of Springfield Bookstore wanted to meet him because he has the potential to dominate the comics industry.

And Haruta Sadako, who is over 45 years old and still unmarried, is said to be not beautiful but also pretty.

Such a rich woman is definitely not short of suitors, but there has been no gossip about her.

Is she the kind of stubborn woman who prefers career? Oda Shingo made the second judgment.

After getting off the car, Oda Shingo looked up at the building of Springfield Bookstore.

Compared to Qunyingsha, this building is obviously newer, built in the 1990s. But it is not high, only four floors.

The periphery of the office building, however, is not covered with posters of the main comics like Qunyingsha.

"Minister Mikami." The guard bowed respectfully.

Sankami Saburo nodded and took Oda Shingo into the building.

The decoration atmosphere inside the building is completely different from Qunyingsha.

It is not a history of the development of comics with historical scenes, but four decorative paintings of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. The furnishings are more traditional, and even many places have Chinese style.

The elevator is much better than Qunyingsha. It is a Mitsubishi elevator in recent years, and one wall has a 120° viewing transparent glass.

Oda Shingo does not have to worry about being locked in again.

Even if this kind of elevator locks people in, there is no need to worry about embarrassing situations like Fujido Kaoru. Because the outside can see inside, and the inside can also see outside.

Because he met a middle-aged woman today, he deliberately did not bring Fujido Kaoru or Namikaze Yukaku with him.

According to Japanese tradition, there are mirrors in the elevator car.

Saburo Mikami carefully adjusted his suit. So did Shingo Oda, after all, he was meeting an important person.

Speaking of which, almost all Japanese elevators are equipped with mirrors.

Many people mistakenly believe that this is to prevent perverts or to save time for office workers to tidy up their appearance.

But it is actually a regulation of the Ministry of Transport of Japan, which is to assist wheelchair users to confirm the entrance and exit and location of the elevator when entering and exiting the elevator.

Saburo Mikami took the opportunity of the elevator to remind Shingo Oda: "It is said that Ms. Haruta does not like to shake hands with people. When I first came, she did not extend her hand to me."

In fact, according to etiquette, if the woman does not take the initiative to shake hands, the man should not extend his hand to shake hands. And even if shaking hands, it should not be a full shake, but a light touch of half the hand.

Saburo Mikami reminded this, naturally to take care of his "possible" brother-in-law...

After being introduced by the assistant, Shingo Oda felt a strong traditional atmosphere when he arrived at the reception room.

The layout of the reception room is completely Japanese style. From the walls to the windows and floors, all are made of bamboo, wood, paper and grass. The furniture is low, the color is calm, the lines are simple, the table is decorated with flowers, and there are movable sliding windows and sliding doors.

Oda Shingo almost suspected that he had arrived at a Japanese hot spring hotel.

Yes, that's right, it's the place where Mrs. Yukino took the studio to vacation, with the same decoration features.

Fortunately, it was not Mrs. Yukino who came out, but a professional woman in her forties wearing a work suit.

Age depicts a mature charm and unnoticeable traces of time on her face. The firmness and wisdom unique to professional women flashed in her deep eyes. The sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. The eyebrows were slightly raised, showing a sense of authority that should not be underestimated.

The person in charge of Haruta Society is more heroic than I thought.

"Is this Mr. Oda?" Haruta Sadako walked over with a smile and stretched out her hand to Oda Shingo.

Mikami Saburo hurriedly introduced the two parties.

Oda Shingo shook her hand gently.

Sadako Haruta turned to Mikami Saburo: "Thank you for your hard work, Mikami-kun."

This was a sign that you could leave, and Mikami Saburo hurriedly said goodbye.

As he left, he couldn't help but glance at Oda Shingo.

They actually shook hands, and they wanted to talk alone? Do you take it so seriously...

Oda Shingo also weighed it in his mind, but he just thought it was the two reasons he thought.

A middle-aged woman who was working hard for her career just had the opportunity to grab this dominant cartoonist worker.

Sadako Haruta sat down with him at the table.

It was a Japanese-style table, and both of them knelt down.

Oda Shingo secretly felt uncomfortable.

And Sadako Haruta's constant scrutiny of him made him even more uncomfortable.

Could it be that the middle-aged woman felt that she still had some charm? I don't have this kind of hobby...

Oda Shingo deliberately maintained a rigid attitude and didn't say a single light word.

Sadako Haruta poured tea by herself, and the two of them exchanged some polite words.

It was nothing more than business promotion. After getting to know each other a little, they soon started talking about their comic plans.

"If possible, I hope to get more serialized pages." Oda Shingo directly stated his plan.

"Oh? 200 pages?"

"No, 300 pages, two comics serialized at the same time. Maybe three in the future."

"...I always admire the enthusiasm of young people." Haruta Sadako was not in a hurry to agree or reject, and began to slightly change the topic.

Oda Shingo was so experienced that he immediately took the initiative to express his work attitude: "I will officially start the dual opening serialization after delivering 500 pages of preliminary manuscripts in advance."

"..." Haruta Sadako looked at him and suddenly smiled more, "The person that Sister Yukino values ​​is really courageous."

Oda Shingo didn't feel strange.

Mrs. Yukino has a good relationship with the top management, that's for sure. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made the final decision in the previous rights and interests negotiations.

It seems that this Ms. Haruta and Mrs. Yukino are old acquaintances.

Hmm? Wait, how old is she? How old is Mrs. Yukino? Why call her sister?

Oda Shingo was a little confused, but he didn't ask deeply.

No way... I just muttered that I don't have the kind of hobby of still having charm...

It must be because Mrs. Yukino is more stable that she respectfully calls her sister? Or some kind of generational title.

Today is Friday, and the new issue of "Champion" is on sale.

The new episode of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" perfectly presents the excitement of the plot and the funny humor.

In the battle with the mineralized substitute female pope, everyone's submarine was also scrapped.

Before diving, Popo said he knew an interesting sign language.

He gestured with a serious face.

Kakyoin made a joke.

"YEAAAAH!" The two of them made a tacit gesture of cooperation.

And Jotaro performed a confession drama at the critical moment when everyone was swallowed by the giant mouth of the ore.

And in the desert, the new helper of [Fool] turned out to be a dog named Ichi.

Just met, and he gave Popo a "hot dry noodles"...

"Hahaha! Poor Popo!"

"Too miserable! He was hit by a dog!"

"Is this a face rush?"

"No, let me pound the table for a while! Hahaha!"

The fans were crazy.

"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has crossed over to the top of the charts again!

From the top of the adventure comics, it has made a big leap to the top of the comedy comics list!
