Chapter 291. Panic (4000 words)(1/2)
The leader who strongly requested that Koharu Hosokawa be transferred was named Okajiro. In fact, his experience was not that long. He was a young man of 25 or 26 years old...
The reason why he can sit in the leadership position at a young age is not that he cannot be considered a leadership. Okajiro is the deputy minister of the Human Resources Department, responsible for a certain degree of personnel transfer to Urashima Publishing House. In a sense, he can only be said to be a quasi-leader.
The reason why he was able to sit in this position was because he had a good brother-in-law, the vice president of Urajima Publishing House, and many people wanted to sell him face.
If you have to say it, this guy is actually a relative. It is simply because his brother-in-law is in a high position that he can get some authority to issue orders.
This is actually very common in the Japanese workplace.
What are the "youngest police officers in history" and the "youngest president in history" published in newspapers.
Most of these people have police or financial backgrounds at home. As long as they talk, they can be promoted to a high position.
That's what it is in Japan.
The editor-in-chief Urajima was only a little afraid of his brother-in-law, and of course he had no idea of flattering a young boy like Okajiro.
That is, the atmosphere around people who only value his brother-in-law and no one cares about him at all, which makes Okajiro particularly sensitive.
In the eyes of Otakajiro, "Unnatural Death" is a work that cannot be completed. Even if Higashinoji, as the author, submits an application to Hosokawa Koharu, he cannot agree so simply...
He immediately asked Hosokawa Koharu to reject Higashinoji's request, but he didn't know what medicine the female editor took was wrong, so he even argued with him...
This made Okajiro feel offended.
As mentioned many times, in Japan, women have very low status in their workplaces. Even if they go to court, the head judges of the court prefer male testimony to male testimony. This kind of plot is often found in news or TV works.
Even a female editor team leader contradicted her face and even made a remark... This somewhat hurts Okajiro.
He was a little at a loss, even incredible, and his face immediately changed a little.
After Hosokawa Koharu left, he contacted the Personnel Department directly and transferred Hosokawa Koharu directly.
——This is a small matter.
At least this is true in Okajiro's eyes.
After all, he just transferred Hosokawa Koharu from the position of Higashinoji as the editor-in-chief. After all, since Hosokawa Koharu could not convince Higashinoji, let other editors persuade Higashinoji to continue painting...
And I didn't fire her or kick her out of Urashima Publishing House... I don't have to worry about this at all...
That's what Otakaro thought.
but...
“Is Unnatural Death closed this week?”
When Okajiro received the news, he showed a little unbelievable expression.
"Unnatural Death" is closed... and there is still a no reason to be closed...?
No, there should be a reason.
"Is it because of that female editor?" Okatsuro thought of Hosokawa Koharu suddenly, but soon frowned and shook his head.
Editable transfer will not affect Higashinoji's interests.
To give an inappropriate example? Even if Higashinoji is not the editor, but as long as the manuscript is submitted, "Unnatural Death" will continue to be serialized? Then he will still make money? He is still the Higashino printer, and he is still the author of the pillar that Urashima Publishing House can make.
Is this a very simple truth? Higashinoji just need to make money while lying down. After all, fundamentally speaking, the appointment of editors is not related to Higashinoji's interests.
Okajiro decided to ask the editor-in-chief Urajima in detail? He took the phone number and called it directly.
The phone was quickly answered there, and at the same time, the voice of Urajima Editor-in-Chief: "Hey? Deputy Minister of the Great High School, what's wrong?"
Editor-in-chief Urajima was already depressed and did not abide by any unspoken workplace rules. He started greetings directly at the ‘Deputy Minister’.
Okajiro's heart sank as he heard the other person's tone.
Is it true that it has something to do with him?
He didn't think too much? He asked simply: "Editor-in-Chief Urajima, I heard that "Unnatural Death" has been closed this week... Is it true?"
"Yes. This news has been reached to the Human Resources Department." Urashima Editor-in-Chief listened to Okatsuro's anxious inquiry, but laughed instead of anger and asked happily.
The subtext of his words is very obvious.
Since the news of the suspension has been transmitted from the editorial department to the Human Resources Department, basically the senior management should know it.
At that time, it will not be Urashima's editor-in-chief who will be under pressure? It is Okajiro who will be under pressure.
You should know that although the marketing volume of "Aversion to Chill" does not account for the largest majority of Urashima Publishing House's marketing volume, it is definitely the most critical and mainstream component of Urashima Publishing House's marketing volume.
Otherwise, why is Urajima Publishing House called one of the three major comics clubs?
"Is it because of the editor's transfer problem a few days ago? Or is it just because of Mr. Higashino's physical discomfort?" Okajiro ignored the subtext of Editor-in-Chief Urashima? He continued to ask.
Editor-in-chief Urajima can be considered a quasi-high-level person, of course he doesn't have the qualifications to move? I still have to ask the matter clearly here...
"I have already said it before, Deputy Minister of the High School? Teacher Higashino is different from other authors? Does he want to finish it? Then it is not something we can discuss. Especially in the transfer of editor Hosokawa, I have already said it several times."
Editor-in-chief Urajima reminded him that he has always been very clear about his positioning.
Similarly, Urajima Editor-in-Chief has long known that Higashinoji is not the author he can manage... If you really want to negotiate, it is just that he will negotiate with Higashinoji instead of the leadership.
After all, "Aversion to Chill" is really too dependent on Higashinoji now.
But as the Human Resources Department, Okajiro, who doesn't understand these things, insists on firing around, doing some stupid things, and letting him wipe his butt... Of course, the editor-in-chief Urajima has no good temper.
You asked me to wipe your butt... When things get bigger, I'll be waiting to collect your body!
Urashima editor-in-chief said this, and Otakajiro on the other side was also a little stunned.
He relied on his brother-in-law to sit in this position and had certain authority, but if the company's interests were harmed, his brother-in-law would not help him, and would only kick him out.
This is very obvious.
Okajiro suddenly panicked. He didn't expect that he could only be transferred to an editor, and his position might not be saved.
"How dare Teacher Higashino like this... Is it because I am not afraid of going to court if I go to court if I am not responsible for this? I remember there is a provision in the contract, right?" he murmured to himself.
When he heard this guy's words, Urajima Editor-in-chief on the other side couldn't help but rub his temples.
That is, this guy's sister is a brother-supporting demon, otherwise he would have cursed it long ago - he was so stupid and bad!
What's the point of going to court?
Although there are regulations on the contract, Teacher Higashino also has countless excuses to find.
For example, if he is unwell, can't think of a good plot, and his whole body is in pain... He just needs to show some reason for force majeure and show that he was not maliciously suspended, and Urashima Publishing House has no choice.
After all, in terms of creation, the creator has the final right to interpret. Higashinoji said that he suddenly suffered from schizophrenia and could not draw "Unnatural Death", and Urashima Publishing House here also had no choice but to do anything about him.
This is considered a creator's privilege, and it doesn't matter how much you act like a hooligan.
Moreover, Urajima Publishing House is not so stupid, so it will offend its own pillar author.
However, in view of the feelings of his colleagues, Urajima Editor-in-Chief did not say too much.
He gave the other party a reminder: "Otaojun, I think it is better for you to apologize to Teacher Higashino or Editor Hosokawa now, and be more sincere."
After saying that, Urajima Editor-in-Chief added: "Otherwise, you will just obey the orders of senior management to apologize. You still have a broad future. Don't ruin your future because of this kind of thing."
Of course, this is a lie to comfort Okajiro. In the opinion of Urashima editor-in-chief, Okajiro's future is probably gone.
After this time, the people above probably felt bad about him. After all, he climbed up by relationships, but he did not do his job well, but instead made the good situation like this.
These words made Okajiro come to his senses.
It is easy to say, but difficult to do.
Especially, Koharu Hosokawa is strictly under his position...
He hung up the phone and sat in the office chair thinking, but before he could think for a long time, someone suddenly called on the other side.
It was a call from the Executive Committee of Urashima Publishing House.
......
Higashinoji is in a pretty good mood now.
He didn't start fishing as the outside world thought, just doing nothing.
He carefully drew two episodes of "Unnatural Death" in advance, and at the same time he got news from the editor-in-chief Urashima.
It turned out that the person who was in charge of personnel transfer was taken to a meeting and was scolded fiercely at the meeting.
This surprised Higashinoji a little a little.
Although he had expected Urajima Publishing House to value himself very much, he made a special meeting for "Unnatural Death"...
This really happened to him, not to mention that he also made a special appointment to criticize the accurate leader of Okajiro at the meeting.
But what Higashinoji didn't expect was that Otakajiro actually came to visit him and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
And his attitude is extremely sincere, his eyes are red in circles, and he almost got out of the ground to serve him...
Although Higashinoji didn't catch a cold about this person, the other party clearly came to the door to apologize, and even he couldn't keep him out with a cold face.
The most important thing is that after being scolded, Otakajiro came to apologize for guilt. This is obviously a behavior of the senior executives of Urashima Publishing House who want to make friends with Higashinoji.
Although Higashinoji has made enough money, there is no need to part with Urashima Publishing House because of a big Takajiro.
only...
