Started as a comics editor

Chapter 142 Inviting Li Xue

"Good refusal."

Tang Yao was somewhat helpless: "I really don't want to see these people. I'm already busy with work, and now that FGO is on track, there will be even more things to deal with."

"Hmm... tired?"

Li Xue looked at the charming face of the girl in front of her and felt a little worried.

"It's okay, but..."

Tang Yao hesitated for a moment, looked at the gentle and intellectual older sister in front of her, and thought of what she had considered not long ago, and felt a little hesitant.

Do you want to invite her?
As long as I ask, Li Xue will definitely agree.

Tang Yao had no doubt about this.

But does she really like this job...

Tang Yao didn't want to affect her life, although she was able to take responsibility now.

But when I think of that day in the cafe, she handed me the bank card with a sweet smile and said it was her dowry.

She couldn't help but hesitate.

If it were someone else, she would have asked directly, what's there to hesitate about, come if you want to, forget it if you don't want to.

But Li Xue is different.

As for what was different, Tang Yao couldn't put her finger on it. Perhaps it was the companionship she'd shared when they first arrived in this world, perhaps it was her willingness to sacrifice everything she had, or perhaps it was the time they'd been together...

In short.

Tang Yao wanted her to be happier and freer.

Instead of doing things you don’t like to do.

If Tang Yao really had to choose, she would rather work harder, share the joy with her when she got good news, and hold her and spin around...

This is also the reason why she has not made up her mind to invite Li Xue during this period.

Come to think of it, this feeling... is really strange.

"Say it."

Seeing that Tang Yao hadn't responded yet, Li Xue said with a bit of a smile: "Don't speak halfway."

"I want to find a professional manager."

Tang Yao came back to her senses, thought about it, and told her her thoughts.

The studio must be restructured.

And there weren't many people she could discuss this with.

Whether Li Xue is invited or not.

She wanted to ask Li Xue's opinion.

"so……"

After listening to this, Li Xue asked hesitantly, "Are you planning to recruit externally?"

Tang Yao hesitated and said, "...Actually, I have a candidate, but I don't know if he's willing."

"Just ask and you'll know."

Li Xue asked directly: "Who is it?"

"……you."

Having said that.

Tang Yao decided to ask: "I think you are the most suitable."

"..."

Li Xue blinked and looked at Tang Yao, seemingly not expecting this answer: "Me? I can't. If I could, I would have come to accompany you a long time ago."

In fact, it wasn't just Tang Yao who had considered this.

Li Xue herself had also considered... whether or not to come and accompany Tang Yao.

But she quickly gave up the idea.

Because she doesn't understand games... otherwise she wouldn't have persuaded Tang Yao to draw comics before.

Although her current job is deputy editor-in-chief, it is not a management position.

"Then just take the title, learn while helping me keep an eye on the managers I recruit."

Tang Yao said directly: "Our Utopia definitely needs to be restructured. This is not only the general trend, but also a responsibility to other staff members. After the restructuring, the company will become larger and larger, and the structure will become more and more complex. It is definitely not enough to rely on me alone. Moreover, I am more interested in the content and am not good at management.

Of course, having said that, it all depends on your own thinking. Do you want to do this kind of work? "

"..."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao's pretty face and didn't answer. Instead, she said, "I'm afraid I'm not up to the task..."

"ANF focuses on the anime, and in addition to the gaming section, I also plan to develop comics and animation sections. These are areas you are familiar with."

Tang Yao replied, "Even if you're not qualified, you can still be in charge of this area. Even worse, you can be my secretary... I'm not saying I'm not qualified, and I know your abilities. Just follow your heart and make your choice. Ask yourself if you prefer your current editor-in-chief job or if you want to come here.

But don't compromise because of me. I don't want you to be unhappy after leaving Wenxin Pavilion."

"I don't like my current editing job at all. I just like comics."

Li Xue subconsciously said, "And you're here... How could I be unhappy when I leave Wenxin Pavilion?"

"..."

Tang Yao said helplessly: "Didn't I just say... Don't compromise because of me. Just think about it this way. I didn't create this studio, and I'm not here. Will you come?"

Li Xue immediately said, "No!"

Tang Yao looked at Li Xue who answered instantly and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

So direct?
"After all, why would I come if you weren't here?"

Li Xue chuckled and said, "I don't have many aspirations. Besides, who else would invite me to such a promising company except you? If I hadn't met you, I would probably have spent my whole life at Wenxin Hall... So I can't make a decision without you."

Tang Yao hesitated for a moment: "So what do you think now?"

"It depends on how you think about it."

Li Xue held Tang Yao's hand and whispered, "I'm mainly worried that I'll mess it up. After all, I really don't have any relevant experience. But if you said you can be a secretary, then I can still do a good job as a secretary, so the decision is no longer in my hands."

"Whose hand is it?"

"You." Li Xue raised their hand: "...Do you want me to come over?"

Tang Yao said subconsciously: "Of course I do."

Hear this.

Li Xue pursed her red lips, seeming a little happy.

"But... I'm worried you don't like this lifestyle."

Tang Yao changed the subject, organized her words, and continued, "You've been an editor for a long time, right? A sudden change..."

“It does take some adaptation.”

Li Xue nodded. "Even if I'm a secretary, I have to start from scratch. It's really distressing just thinking about it... I'm still afraid of messing up."

Tang Yao hesitated and said, "Then..."

"But I want to see you every day."

Li Xue didn't wait for Tang Yao to finish and interrupted quietly, "As long as you don't mind, I will learn slowly."

"..."

Tang Yao was stunned, looking at Li Xue's beautiful face.

See you every day...

Li Xue noticed Tang Yao's gaze and asked softly, "Will you dislike me?"

Tang Yao came back to her senses and shook her head gently: "No, don't forget that you also have a stake in this company."

"Really?"

"real."

"That won't happen?"

Li Xue opened her red lips slightly, and suddenly blew a breath on the hands they were holding. The warm breath blew over, tickling the back of her hand, making it itchy.

"?"

Tang Yao slowly put a question mark: "Aren't we talking about work?"

Li Xue smiled softly and said, "I just want to give it a try."

"Why would I dislike this..."

Tang Yao couldn't help laughing, and she also opened her red lips slightly and blew a puff of white air towards the hands they were holding.

"What about this?"

Li Xue suddenly let go of Tang Yao's hand, reached out and gently held her fair and delicate face.

Probably because the two of them were holding hands the whole time.

Her hands were not cold.

But Tang Yao always felt something was wrong. Her face was slightly flushed, but fortunately it was covered by her hands, so it was not obvious. "Is this also related to work?"

Li Xue said seriously, "Think about it, if I were a secretary, what if I made a move on such a lovely boss..."

Tang Yao rolled her eyes: "A secretary is just a backup candidate, and do you have any misunderstandings about secretarial work?"

"Would you dislike it?"

Li Xue's voice lowered.

"will not."

"That……"

Li Xue raised her toes slightly, then lowered them, as if to encourage herself. After repeating this several times, she leaned forward slightly.

Tang Yao noticed her movements and looked at her with her beautiful eyes blinking.

Noticed Tang Yao's clean and clear eyes.

Li Xue paused, came back to her senses, and rubbed Tang Yao's face: "What about this..."

Tang Yao said helplessly: "No, no, don't worry, I won't mind you no matter what you do."

"I can rest assured that."

Li Xue let go of Tang Yao's face, her ears slightly red, but her expression remained unchanged: "I will complete the resignation procedures tomorrow."

"Well...it might be busy next."

Tang Yao noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she took the initiative to change the subject, smiling brightly, "But there will definitely be no problem for the two of us. Please give me your guidance in the future, Manager Li."

Li Xue was stunned: "...Manager?"

"Otherwise, what do you think it is?"

Tang Yao said mischievously, "Next, I'll trouble you with the studio restructuring, the establishment of human resources, finance and legal affairs, marketing and public relations teams, platform operations, external business cooperation, and even investment and mergers and acquisitions."

"Oh, and there's also the matter of FGO collaborating with a manga artist to find a scriptwriter."

"Also, we need to develop the comics and animation sections of ANF."

"At the same time, the studio's second game, 'Fighting Cards'..."

"..."

Tang Yao began to talk about the urgent issues that needed to be resolved in the studio.

Li Xue widened her beautiful eyes slightly, listening to Tang Yao talking about things that made her scalp tingle, her body tense.

then.

When Tang Yao finally stopped, she immediately said, "I think I'm more suitable to be an editor..."

Say it.

She turned to leave.

Tang Yao immediately reached out and grabbed her clothes: "You promised, don't try to run away."

"But I didn't expect there would be so much! I can't learn so much!"

Li Xue heard the voice and seemed to be about to cry, but she still walked towards the door.

Tang Yao was a little anxious, pulling her clothes hard, and subconsciously said: "I'll kiss you... Don't run."
