Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel extremely speechless, thinking that the Matsumoto designer was also interesting.

The condition he set out like this was a disguised rejection, but in the end the man accepted it instead. If he had known this, why bother in the first place?

He asked: "He just agreed directly? No other conditions?"

Hasumi Kanoko said: "Designer Matsumoto has a condition, saying that he wants to have the authority to independently initiate projects in the future, and he hopes that the studio can provide funds for the project."

Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows, "Is he trying to lay eggs by borrowing chickens?"

Hassan was delighted to see Kanoko and laughed at his funny description.

"Hmm~~I think the Matsumoto designer probably wants to make games by himself, but SQ Company doesn't support him, so that's why he's like this, right?"

Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, knowing that what she said should be the truth, otherwise Jun Matsumoto would not have been emphasizing independence.

He pondered for a moment: "Okay, I can agree to this condition, but not now. He must give priority to cooperating with us in development, and only after our mobile game is launched can he do his."

Hasumi Kanoko took advantage of the situation and asked: "Have you finished writing the plan for your new project?"

"Not yet, but it's not urgent." Kato Yusuke leaned back on the swivel chair and his voice dropped twice.

"Anyway, Hui can't come to the studio right now. Let's wait until she comes back to discuss new projects. We will launch the two AS chapters of "ad" first."

Hearing him mention this incident, Hasumi Kanoko opened her eyes slightly in surprise, "It's been half a month since the incident, Kato-san still refuses to forgive you?"

Kato Yusuke shook his head helplessly, "...I don't know, anyway, I never received a reply to the emails and messages I sent."

"Is that so..." Ren saw that Kanoko didn't know what to say.

Logically speaking, Xia I's incident has been going on for so long, and most people should have calmed down, but this Kato-san could bear not to contact someone...

She thought to herself, "That's awesome." She sighed softly: "...Kato-san is also a troublesome girl. Haven't you ever asked Himekawa Yoshiko?"

Kato Yusuke looked puzzled, "Ask Kako...?"

"Yeah." Hasumi Kanoko nodded naturally, "I remember she has a very good relationship with Kato-san, maybe she will know something?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head slightly and began to think.

Hasumi Kanoko's words reminded him.

Just because Hui ignores him doesn't mean he ignores others.

If he wanted to find an opportunity to break the deadlock, Kako's place was the most likely place to obtain information.

Thinking of this, his frown instantly relaxed, feeling like he was suddenly enlightened.

"Well, you're right, Kano-chan. I'll contact Kako later to take a look."

Ren saw Kanoko looking at him with a smile, and said:

"For a girl like Kato-san who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, I suggest you start with her friends and family. That way you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Kato Yusuke immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Thank you for your support."

Seeing Kanoko, Hassan smiled even more happily. While bending down, he stretched out a jade finger and flicked "Winter~" on his forehead.

"I would like to remind you again, don't be so glib in front of Kato-san. That child has a very serious character. You just need to be honest with her~"

Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly and nodded, expressing his understanding.

"That's it. If you need help with anything, just remember to tell us. I'll deal with designer Matsumoto's matters first."

After seeing Kanoko finish speaking, Hassan left calmly.

Kato Yusuke picked up the phone, thought about what he was going to say for a moment, and then dialed Himekawa Yoshiko's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Kato-san?" Yoshiko Himekawa asked uncertainly, her voice full of surprise, and she obviously didn't expect to receive a call from him.

"Good morning, Yoshiko." Kato Yusuke said straight to the point: "Sorry to bother you, I want to tell you a little bit about Kei. Do you know how she is doing lately?"

"Huh? Want to know about Xiaohui? Even if you say that suddenly, I don't know what to say...ah."

"What's wrong? Did you hear anything?"

"Hmm~ Well...it's nothing. I just thought of something insignificant. I don't know about Xiao Hui." Himekawa Yoshiko said nonchalantly, with a bit of erratic tone in her tone.

Kato Yusuke would naturally not believe this excuse.

Kako's unnatural reaction alone proved that she must know something, but she just refused to tell him for some reason.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "...If I promise not to leak the news to Hui, will you tell me?"

"Pfft." Himekawa Yoshiko laughed out loud, knowing that she couldn't hide it, so she spoke with dissatisfaction.

"Kato-kun, are you really too cunning? Xiaohui is my best friend, aren't you asking me to betray her?"

Kato Yusuke also laughed, "I didn't mean that. It's just that Kei has been ignoring me. Even if I want to apologize, I can't help it."

"That's not because you made Xiaohui angry." Himekawa Yoshiko complained:

"Although I don't know what happened between you, Xiaohui has such a good temper. If she wasn't really angry, she wouldn't be like this at all. You should reflect on it."

Kato Yusuke did not deny it and said sincerely: "Well, you are right. I want to find an opportunity to apologize to her face to face. Can you do me this favor?"

"Hmm~~~ But once I tell you that matter, Xiao Hui will definitely realize that it was me who said it." Himekawa Yoshiko said with great trepidation.

Kato Yusuke solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with it."

"Oh?" Himekawa Yoshiko asked curiously: "Kato-san, how are you going to deal with it?"

"Hmm... Like the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge?"

"Hey! Isn't this too perfunctory!?"

"I'm sorry. Mainly, I don't have the necessary information, so I can only act according to circumstances."

"It's so suspicious. I always feel like you're deceiving me..."

Kato Yusuke thought for a moment and said in a joking tone: "Think about it from another angle. If we can reconcile, Kako, you will be the biggest contributor. Will I treat you to a wedding banquet then?"

"Wow! You're talking about a wedding banquet... you two are still high school students, right? This is too heavy. I'm really sorry Xiaohui wasn't scared away by you?" Himekawa Yoshiko pretended to be exaggerated, her tone full of disgust.

Kato Yusuke raised the corner of his mouth slightly and did not explain anything. Some things will be known later.

After hesitating for a while, Himekawa Yoshiko reluctantly expressed:

"Ah, I can't bear it, I really lost to you... Listen, I'm telling you this for Xiao Hui's sake. Kato-kun, you must apologize to her properly, okay?"

Kato Yusuke sat up slightly and affirmed: "Yes, I promise."

Ten minutes later.

The two ended the call.

Kato Yusuke didn't waste any time and immediately called the other person.

"Hey, is it Qian? I have something to ask you."

…

Two days later.

Jun Matsumoto led a group of people under his command and arrived at the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building.

Take the elevator to the 40th floor and reach the entrance of the "TYPE-MOON" studio.

The main artist, Shimamura, looked inside through the transparent glass door and found that there were only a few people working in Nuo University's office.

He turned around and asked: "Boss, are you sure we found the right place? Why is this place so empty?"

Matsumoto Jun smiled, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Hasumi Kanoko had just come out of an office. When she saw them, she hurriedly came to open the door.

"Good morning, Miss Hasumi, we are here for an interview." Matsumoto Jun took the initiative to say.

Hasumi Kanoko smiled and said: "Designer Matsumoto is joking, the conference room is ready, please come with me."

Jun Matsumoto nodded and entered the office first.

Others saw their boss taking action and followed suit.

A group of people looked around curiously, observing the environment here.

When passing by the work station, Shimamura glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, and found a digital screen and various painting tools on the desk of a girl. It must be that the employees of the art department have not escaped.

Because Jun Matsumoto had told them the general situation in advance, Shimamura knew that he had a chief artist above him, the painter who had become famous recently - Eri Kashiwagi.

In order to find out where he was as a leader, he made a special effort to do some research before coming.

Speaking of Kashiwagi Eri, he is a more mysterious painter than Kato Yusuke.

The other party rose to prominence in the circle in the early days by re-creating popular works. With his delicate painting style, he gained countless fans and managed to develop the club "egoistic lily" into a popular club.

not only that.

There are even rumors that the teacher Eri Kashiwagi’s true identity is still a super beautiful girl!

Frankly speaking, Shimamura doesn't think highly of this kind of book painters. He feels that those people just make money by fishing for side jobs, and they are far inferior to orthodox painters like them.
