Started as a comics editor

Chapter 51 No. 001

Editorial department.

Maybe because of what happened before, the atmosphere was weird.

Moreover, most of the editors had disappeared. After Tang Yao confirmed the meeting time with Li Xue, when she came back, there were not many people there.

But Kang Ming is still there.

"What about the rest?"

Tang Yao returned to her workstation and saw Kang Ming sitting there in a daze, so she asked him.

Kang Ming snapped back to his senses and turned around to see that it was Tang Yao. He felt a little embarrassed: "Maybe they felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, so they all went out... Oh, Editor Tang, I think I was impulsive just now. I'm sorry."

"Hmm? What are you apologizing for?"

Tang Yao pulled out a chair and sat down, asking curiously.

Kang Ming told Tang Yao what happened after she left.

To sum it up in one sentence...his superiors all resigned and he almost punched Ding Yillong.

"So it's you... I was wondering how the rumors ended up saying a fight."

Tang Yao showed a look of realization, then looked at Kang Ming carefully: "You are not really going to do it, are you?"

"No."

Kang Ming touched his forehead with a very high hairline and said, "At that time, I saw that he was trying to catch up with you, so I bumped into him to stop him, but he was so annoying that he threatened me again, but I didn't really do anything."

"That is not bad."

Tang Yao nodded. "It's totally not worth putting yourself in a bad position for someone like that... But having said that, if we were in the same boat, I'd probably punch him."

After saying that, she clenched her pink fist and waved it gently, eager to try.

Again, no matter which ego it is, there is a consensus, that is - one must behave and speak in a way that is consistent with one's own image.

And doing something like this is obviously not in line with his image...

Otherwise she would have taken action long ago.

"..."

Kang Ming looked at the girl in front of him who was eager to try, and felt a little amused.

The switch between the mature and girlish sides is so smooth...

"This won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

Kang Ming hesitated for a moment and asked.

He also heard the rumors from this morning.

“No, I’m about to resign.”

Tang Yao put her hand down and replied subconsciously, but soon she remembered a certain breathless older sister: "But you did cause trouble for someone..."

"Who?"

"Nothing. Anyway, you've also asked to resign?"

Tang Yao didn't know why she didn't want to talk to the man about Li Xue, so she changed the subject: "Was it impulsive? If it was impulsive, it can be corrected. Ding Yilong will probably leave tomorrow."

"It's not impulsive."

Kang Ming shook his head and then expressed his thoughts.

He wanted to quit yesterday.

After listening to Kang Ming's ideas.

Tang Yao's eyes lit up slightly. "So, compared to editing, you still want to make games more?"

"Well, thank you for your care during this period..."

Kang Ming exhaled and said apologetically, "But I feel that I am really not suitable for this job."

"Why don't you just follow me then?"

Isn't this a coincidence?
Tang Yao immediately extended an invitation: "I mean after you leave your job."

"Ok?"

Kang Ming was a little surprised: "Editor Tang, is it true that you don't plan to be an editor anymore?"

"Do you think what I said to Ding Yilong was a joke?"

"So, will Fate/Zero really be serialized online for free?"

"Of course, it will be released in the next two days."

"hiss……"

Kang Ming took a deep breath and was a little shocked.

In fact, what Tang Yao said not long ago was so outrageous that even Ding Yilong thought it was ridiculous...

After all, it's such a hot topic. Why isn't it serialized in a magazine?
Apart from anything else, even if that third-rate painter doesn't like Wenxinguan, he can submit his works to other magazines!

That's a lot of money! Even though the manuscript fee is only 900 per page, if it's a biweekly publication, the monthly salary doesn't seem to be much.

But the manuscript fee is the most basic income for a cartoonist. If the comics maintain a high standard, the subsequent single-volume editions, animation authorizations, game authorizations, copyright sales... can be said to make a lot of money!

"This... Is this third-rate teacher really that wealthy?"

Kang Ming asked a soul-searching question.

Tang Yao shook her head: "No, very poor..."

She was almost so poor that she had to wear the same clothes as her sister.

"That third-rate teacher..."

Kang Ming was very puzzled. If this cartoonist was not doing it out of interest, why would he do this?
Having trouble with money?
“Because we want higher returns.”

Tang Yao thought about it and felt it wouldn't be a good idea to reveal everything in the editorial office, so she could only vaguely say, "I'll show you the business plan later and you'll understand... So, what do you want to do with me?"

Kang Ming was silent for a moment: "So you want to do...?"

"game."

Tang Yao picked up her phone and shook it gently. "Initially, we were planning to make a mobile game, which is still a blue ocean. As for what will happen next, I can't give you an answer... Also, let me make it clear that I can't make any promises in this initial stage. I don't like to make empty promises, so the only promise I can make at this stage is that I won't delay your salary payments, no matter what... And even if we fail in the end, I won't run away."

It's easy to deal with failure.

It's nothing more than debuting as a cartoonist! And then paying off the debt...

As for success... then Xun will have enough money to go to school with peace of mind, and maybe it will be enough for the two sisters to live a peaceful life in the future.

Then...anything is fine.

Kang Ming was stunned: "You were not joking at the time?"

"No."

Tang Yao solemnly invited: "So, do you want to come?"

"..."

Kang Ming looked at the harmless pretty face in front of him, hesitated for less than a second, and then said, "Yes!"

Although many things are still unclear.

Tang Yao only mentioned the direction and nothing else.

If it was any other Tom, Dick or Harry who invited Kang Ming like this.

Then his first reaction must be... that the other party is trying to cheat him out of his money.

But Tang Yao is different.

Although Kang Ming and Tang Yao hadn't worked together for very long, he had witnessed with his own eyes what Tang Yao had done during this time...

Therefore, he felt that if he refused now... he would definitely regret it in the future.

"It's a word."

When Tang Yao heard this, she immediately smiled brightly: "Then please give me more guidance in the future."

Kang Ming looked at the charming smile on Tang Yao's pretty face. For a moment, he even felt that being cheated out of money didn't matter...

"Hmm...so when are we leaving? When are we...uh, starting?"

"Now."

Tang Yao turned around and took out a piece of drawing paper. "Write your resignation notice now. I'll be leaving in the next two days. Then I'll rent a suitable place and start preparing this week. At the beginning, there will only be two of us, so I'll be responsible for planning, art, operations, etc. You'll be in charge of development and serve as employee number 001 and main programmer..."

After that, I will add people based on the situation. It will definitely be hard at the beginning, but I will find other suitable people to join as soon as possible.”

"..."

Kang Ming's eyes widened. "You're going to be responsible for both planning and art? Editor Tang, if it's game planning..."

"I know what you want to say, but trust me, I'll show you the game plan later."

Tang Yao knew what he was worried about.

Well.

It's really outrageous for her, a comics editor, to do this.

Kang Ming looked at Tang Yao who was confident. Although common sense told him that this was really outrageous... in the end, he still chose to believe it.

Maybe it was because Tang Yao had left such a good impression on her before.

"So what exactly does our game do..."

"Beautiful girl card drawing game!"

Tang Yao replied: "A brand new game type! And it's related to the upcoming free serialization of "Fate/Zero."

"……Eh?"
