Chapter 242: The Undying River Library!
There was curiosity in Machida Sonoko's eyes as her gaze moved back and forth over Shin-chan.
He doesn't look like the mischievous boy in the novel at all. Instead, he is a very handsome boy...
Looking at Shin-chan who looked very happy, Machida Sonoko thought to herself:
"It must be an artistic process. After all, how could there be a five-year-old child like that?"
Just let it be artistic processing; the most important thing is to write an attractive novel.
"Let's go, both of you." Machida Sonoko tilted her head slightly, her short black hair swaying gently with her movements.
"Someone from the investment company will come to negotiate the contract soon."
"arrive."
The elevator slowly opened with a "ding" sound, and the mirror reflected the figures of three people.
Machida Sonoko pushed open the glass door, and her high heels made dents in the carpet.
She turned around, with a hint of pride in her blue eyes:
"How is it? Not bad, isn't it? This whole floor is where we work at the Fuzugawa Library."
The large office area is divided into independent spaces by floor-to-ceiling windows. Sunlight shines through the blinds onto the desk, and the air is filled with the faint aroma of coffee and paper and ink.
“It does look good.”
Shin-chan nodded, his eyes scanning the wide floor.
After all, before coming here, he thought that the Undying River Library was just like the small bookstore on the corner of Kasukabe Street.
The space of less than 50 square meters is filled with all kinds of books, and the only two clerks always communicate with strange gestures.
Hearing Shin-chan's approval, Machida Sonoko seemed unusually enthusiastic:
"Not only that, the welfare here is quite good. Not only does it have a tea room, but it also has an independent lounge..."
Shin-chan watched Machida Sonoko's sales pitch and couldn't help but lean close to Shiyu's ear and whispered:
"Xiao Shiyu, is this company owned by her? Why do I feel like she's weird?"
After all, isn't going to work painful? Why does she seem so happy?
Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a helpless smile:
"Ah, she... probably wants the manga adaptation rights for Crayon Shin-chan."
"Fuzugawa also talked to me about this before," Kasumigaoka Utaha said in a low voice.
"But the price was too low, and there was a clause that said I couldn't interfere with the production of the comics, so I didn't agree."
She glanced at the excited Machida Sonoko.
“Now they probably see other companies coming in and want to show us their resources so that we can reconsider.”
If a novice writer were allowed to choose, he would probably agree with gritted teeth. After all, for a novice writer, letting more people know him is more important than profit.
But Kasumigaoka Utaha thought that we should wait and see. She always felt that "Crayon Shin-chan" would definitely be a success and should not be sold at a low price.
Machida Sonoko continued to introduce the company's resources:
"We also have a professional comics department that releases several popular works every year..."
"Oh, I think I know this. Next we should sell at the same price, right?"
Xiaoxin nodded thoughtfully.
“It’s for sale.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha corrected Shin-chan's mistake with a smile.
Machida Sonoko on the side talked for a long time but there was really nothing to praise. She even picked up a decorative vase on the cabinet next to her and started praising it, saying it was some kind of "humanitarian care."
Machida Sonoko was holding a vase, but her hand accidentally slipped.
"Crack!" The crisp sound of shattering broke the silence of the office area.
"Ah, working overtime on Valentine's Day is bad enough,"
Machida Sonoko froze in place, staring at the debris on the ground, her voice filled with tears.
"I haven't made any money yet, and I'm losing money instead." Her face was filled with tears.
She looked around to make sure there was no one else or surveillance camera around, then kicked the debris under the cabinet with her high heels.
Machida Sonoko's face quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
There is no way she can pay back the money, absolutely not!
