Started as a comics editor

Chapter 162 Embarrassed

"Are you Rumi?"

"Are you Tang Yao!?"

In the cafe.

The two asked almost at the same time.
originally.

The gathering of these three beauties, each with their own unique qualities... was already attractive enough, and when two of them spoke at the same time, even more people looked at them.

Li Xue noticed it and quickly pulled Tang Yao to sit down.

But after Tang Yao sat down, she continued to stare at Rumi.

Because both of them were a little shocked.

Li Xue could understand why Rumi was so shocked. After all, Tang Yao... was indeed stunning.

Especially when it’s the first time you meet someone.

But Tang Yao would be so shocked.

Li Xue hadn't expected this. She approached Tang Yao and asked quietly, "Haven't you seen Teacher Rumi's photo? I remember it was leaked."

Tang Yao tilted her head in surprise. "I've seen her before, and I know she's a woman... but doesn't she look rather old-fashioned in that picture? Her clothes and demeanor are completely different, right?!"

"That's because my editor asked me to dress that way... and I even put on heavy makeup and wore thick clothes."

Li Xue hadn't had time to speak yet.

Rumi, who was sitting across from them, was the first to react. She started to explain and then asked, "Let's not talk about me for now. Let me ask you something. When I wanted to invest in your game, you turned me down, saying you were afraid your investors would get jealous. Is that your husband? Are you married?"

"????"

Tang Yao turned around abruptly, questioning, "What do you mean by marriage? The investor I'm talking about is her."

She pointed to Li Xue next to her.

Ru Mi's head almost turned sideways as he looked at Li Xue, then blurted out, "Lily?"

"what?"

Li Xue's delicate body stiffened, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, and she turned her head to look at Tang Yao, as if she didn't expect Tang Yao to introduce her like this.

Tang Yao looked at Rumi, Rumi looked at Li Xue, Li Xue looked at Tang Yao...

All three of them were embarrassed.

……

"Sorry sorry sorry!"

More than ten minutes later.

Misunderstanding resolved.

Rumi suddenly lowered his head and apologized very sincerely.

Tang Yao looked at the famous teacher Rumi with a complicated expression.

this person.

How much stuff have I imagined?

Are you not young anymore? Are you married? Is your husband the investor?

This is nothing!
And a serious person! When you heard that Li Xue was your investor, would you think of Lily first?
It certainly won’t be like that!

...Am I really behaving like an aluminum copper?
Obviously no one has said that...

the other side.

Li Xue wasn't in a much better mood either. Her good mood after seeing her idol was gone. She looked at Ru Mi helplessly.

"Forget it, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved."

Tang Yao was silent for a moment, and seeing that Ru Mi was still bent over, she felt that she could not remain silent any longer, so she spoke.

"Sorry...but honestly."

Rumi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and apologized again. Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at the youthful, lively and pretty Tang Yao, still a little incredulous: "I really didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful."

"Actually, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."

Tang Yao replied politely.

Before discussing cooperation, they have to promote each other's business.

She is familiar with this.

"..."

After Rumi recovered from her initial shock, she finally accepted the fact that the founder of Avalon, who had recently become famous, was a girl younger than herself.

And heard Tang Yao's polite reply.

She couldn't help but shook her head.

This is not just a courtesy.

She really didn't expect it!

It's too ridiculous.

She is young and beautiful, and looks like a JK, but she drew the bitter and vengeful "Fate/Zero".

If that were all...it would be fine.

After all, she is a great cartoonist!
But the problem is, this JK later launched a second game based on the comic, which stirred up the entire gaming circle in one fell swoop...

This is really beyond my expectations.

In fact, when Rumi came, she was already mentally prepared to see a troublesome aunt.

But unexpectedly, the aunt was actually herself...

"Teacher Rumi?"

Li Xue noticed Rumi staring at Tang Yao motionlessly. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but remind her. "Auntie... No," Rumi suddenly came back to her senses.

She picked up her coffee, suppressed the complicated thoughts in her mind, and managed to regain some of her usual composure. She smiled wryly and said, "I'm not being polite. I'm really shocked that the person who has been stirring up trouble in the entire 2D world recently...is actually so young. By the way, would you like anything to drink?"

have to say.

Although it was shocking at first.

But facing such a result... she was actually quite happy.

After all, compared to her aunt, she still prefers dealing with young and beautiful girls.

Even though she is an aunt...

When Tang Yao heard this, she probably knew that the other party had accepted the reality, so she called the waiter and ordered two cups of coffee.

After the coffee was served, they were silent for a while.

Rumi digested her inner thoughts for a moment before speaking again, curiously asking, "...Tang Yao, you drew the Chainsaw Man this time, too, right?"

"Ah."

Tang Yao nodded, then thought of something and turned to introduce Li Xue, "By the way, this is Avalon's manager and my editor, Li Xue."

"Hello."

Ru Mi turned sideways and nodded towards Li Xue.

Li Xue also nodded at her: "Hello... Teacher Rumi seems to be very interested in us?"

"of course."

Rumi took a sip of coffee and replied, "Everyone would be curious...but after learning that the two executives of Avalon are so young and beautiful, I'm even more interested."

Li Xue continued her words: "So... do you want to understand us?"

"Ah."

Rumi put down the cup and said, "For example, I really want to ask... Tang Yao, why did you suddenly want to draw a theme like "Chainsaw Man"? "

"You should be able to tell."

Tang Yao took over the conversation: "ANF website has been promoting the comics section recently, which is the main motivation for me to draw "Chainsaw Man"."

"I can see that...but why the sudden change of style?"

Rumi was a little curious: "Also, do you think online comic serialization can really be successful?"

"Why did I change the style... maybe it's because I have confidence in the story of Chainsaw Man."

Tang Yao explained: "As for whether the comics can be serialized online..."

Speaking of which.

Tang Yao smiled. She really didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so she got straight to the point: "Do you want to witness it with us?"

"Ok?"

Rumi was a little surprised. He paused, pointed at himself, and said in disbelief, "You want to invite me... to your website?"

isn't it?
So confident?

"of course not."

Tang Yao shook her head slightly. "I just wanted to ask you, are you willing to cooperate with our game? We are planning to launch a joint card pool for FGO during this period..."

Ru Mi reacted: "With my work?"

"Yes, the main characters of your film 'Into the Night' will all appear. If possible, I would like to ask you to write a crossover plot."

"This……"

Ru Mi didn't expect that after just a few words, Tang Yao told him her purpose without answering her doubts.

She hesitated and said politely, "If it's just about designing the card, then I can make the decision. But when it comes to copyright issues, I might not be able to make a decision. I need to ask the magazine's senior management and my editor."

"Have you licensed all your works to other game manufacturers?"

"Um……"

"I see... but I can understand asking the higher-ups, but why are you asking your editor?"

"Because the editor is my mother...and she's also one of the top executives of the Star Chaser Society."

Chasing Star Society.

It is the publisher behind the leading comic magazine "YOUNG comic".

"..."

Tang Yao blinked when she heard that. What about mother and son fighting together... She straightened her expression and said, "Do you think your superiors won't agree?"

"Hard to say."

Rumi hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and remembered the editor...her mother, who asked her to invite Tang Yao to serialize in "YOUNG comic", and the unpleasant words Tang Yao said after she refused.

What an ungrateful person! He actually rejected such a good opportunity. It's a pity for the work "Fate/Zero".

If she were to manage any comic, the sales volume would probably reach at least five million copies, if not tens of millions.

I'm just saying this: this third-rate artist will definitely regret it. When she realizes that she's worked so hard for half a year and hasn't earned any income, and that her ridiculous persistence is completely meaningless, she'll turn around and beg us to serialize...

The result.

This "third-rate teacher" who drew "Fate/Zero" not only did not beg them to serialize it... but made a fortune.

...What sales of five million copies?

Does anyone have a lot of mobile game revenue in a month?
Anyway.

After FGO became a success, Rumi didn't dare to ask her mother what she thought.

Because it would feel awkward.
