Chapter 126 The bald man also lined up
Qunying Club.
Office of the Vice President.
"Hakki-kun, you know what I wanted to say when I called you here, right?"
A cold voice came from the mouth of Vice President Xiaoshan.
"Hi Yi! I'm so sorry!" Minister Hyakki already knew the news from the "Mainichi News".
After all, the "Daily News" is a front-line newspaper. Even if he cannot see it, his family will inform him in time after seeing it.
When Hyakki Hayato saw the report above, his whole body felt cold from head to tail, and his blood froze!
How could it be? ! Why was it reported by the Daily News? !
It is a common tactic used by comic book publishers to make bugs in the publication of books. He knows that senior executives of other publishing houses have also done it.
But why was my story reported? ! When did the Daily News get involved in this kind of business?
Now Hyakki Hayato saw the third page of the "Mainichi Shimbun" spread out on Vice President Koyama's desk, and he immediately knew that he was in big trouble!
Xiao Lao said that he was taking revenge out of anger. To put it bluntly, this is an abuse of power by the top management of Qunying Club, which is a huge loss to the reputation of the entire comic club!
"Sir Koyama, please forgive me for this matter..." Hyakki Hayato put his hands on both sides of his pants and bowed to the vice president in a very standard way.
"In this matter, the other party's methods exceeded your expectations. You underestimated the enemy and thought how much energy a college dropout could have, right?" Vice President Xiaoshan put his arms on the table, crossed his hands and fingers, and leaned on himself chin.
If Oda Shingo were here, he would definitely exclaim about the EVA style.
"Hey! I underestimated Oda Shingo! I'm very sorry, I didn't expect him to invite people from the newspaper!" Hyakki Hayato bowed vigorously again.
It is very difficult for a fat body to perform this action.
Vice President Xiaoshan said slowly: "Oda Shingo, this young man, showed his characteristics at the gambling reception. At that time, I looked at him as if I was looking at an old man in the workplace, and he was still the kind of person who was shameless for profit. You can leave me at any time, but you can’t mess with me or you’ll retaliate severely!”
"Your Excellency Xiaoshan, is he so capable?"
"Didn't you notice something happened on the Internet?" Vice President Xiaoshan turned the laptop and pushed it forward.
Minister Hyakki stepped forward to check in fear. After looking at it for a long time, he became even more sweaty.
At first, it was just comic fans who read the reports and united to support buying the stand-alone book of "One Punch Man".
The momentum was naturally huge, and many people responded in many comic forums.
But more than that, driven by the suppression of newcomer Shingo Oda, more melon-eating incidents spread crazily on the forum.
Some comic book authors have come forward and revealed the behind-the-scenes stories of Qunyingsha’s rejection.
There are also new cartoonists in recent years who speculate that they may have been stuck in the publishing bug because they did not benefit the magazine.
Naturally, most of them are not true, but are just poor sales and poor market response. But at this juncture, everyone feels that it may not be true.
There is also an anonymous female netizen who said that she resigned from Qunying Club because of harassment from Minister Hyakki.
The endless verbal abuses and all kinds of bizarre shady rumors about our magazine made Minister Hyakki's eyes almost pop out of his head.
"How, how come, the public opinion offensive is completely controlled by him?" Minister Baigui said a little awkwardly.
Vice President Xiaoshan looked at Minister Hyakki and said word by word: "How are you going to solve it?"
"This, this..." Minister Hyakki was covered in sweat.
He realized that he might not be able to keep his position as minister!
Hyakki Hayato could already imagine that the Kunei Club held a public apology meeting, and he bowed at the meeting to take the blame and resign.
"Oh, you have been with me for so long, how could I leave you at this time." Vice President Xiaoshan sighed.
"Ah! Lord Xiaoshan! Thank you so much!" Minister Hyakki almost cried and took Vice President Xiaoshan's hand, wishing he could kneel down and worship him as his adopted father.
Vice President Koyama waved his hand: "I will stop this matter. Hyakki Hayato, you still need to take a long vacation."
"Hey Yi! It's all at your discretion!" Minister Baigui understood that he was suspending himself temporarily. Totally acceptable! As long as you don't lose your position as minister, there are plenty of opportunities for you to make a comeback!
After Director Hyakki thanked him in every possible way, Vice President Koyama nodded: "Be patient, and we will deal with the web department and Oda Shingo after the pending matters of the department are settled!"
"Hi Yi! Thank you for taking care of me!" Minister Hyakki's eyes showed excited anticipation.
——
Onsite of the book signing.
It was already dark, and the "Sword of the Goddess" autograph booth had long since been removed.
"I don't know what it's like in other places, but here, it's a record signing!" The old shop owner looked at the fans who refused to leave with joy.
Under the streetlight, Oda Shingo insisted on signing autographs for comic fans.
Fortunately, the old shop owner brought auxiliary lighting from the store, otherwise I might not even be able to see the pages clearly.
Five hundred copies sold! There are still about a hundred comic fans who haven't bought one yet and are still queuing up to sign copies of the posters in the store hoping for Oda Shingo's autograph.
Due to work reasons, Saburo Mikami could only leave with Assistant Okita first.
Namikaze Yukuru and Todo Koucho were still sitting quietly behind Oda Shingo to accompany him.
"You haven't eaten yet, would you like some cookies first?" Namikaze Yukaku said softly to Oda Shingo.
"Let's talk after the signing is completed." He just asked Namikaze Yukaku to buy some fruit drinks to replenish his energy.
On the other hand, Todo Xiangcheng seemed a little restless from time to time, and occasionally glanced not far away.
A bald man was already in line.
"Are you worried that he will cause trouble?" Namikaze Yukaku asked Toudo Kaori in a low voice.
She felt that this middle-aged, burly man looked very evil at first glance.
He has a thick beard, but there is no hair on his bare head, which is particularly conspicuous under the street lights.
"...Yes." Todo Xiangcheng sighed.
"He doesn't look like a good person at first glance. How about we strike first?" Namikaze Yukaku began to think about what kind of hidden weapon to use for a sneak attack.
From a physical point of view, the opponent is a good practitioner, and I am afraid that the time to attack him head-on will be delayed for a long time. Or a sneak attack is more suitable for the scene situation.
"Well...don't do it, I, I know him..." Todo Xiangcheng blushed.
"?" Namikaze Youhe wondered.
Todo Xiangcheng had a flat mouth and didn't know what to say.
Oda Shingo signed autographs for every comic fan very seriously, and occasionally wrote a Chinese poem.
Finally we arrived at this middle-aged bald man.
His burly figure blocked most of the table, almost blocking the dim lights around him.
The bald man looked down at Oda Shingo for a long time.
"..." Oda Shingo, who was sitting, looked up at him. He seemed a bit familiar, almost able to remember him.
The bald man's voice was like a bell: "It turns out that Oda Shingo is you, I'm relieved! I can entrust my daughter to you, a young cartoonist who is quite good at Bajiquan and has a good character!"
He took Oda Shingo's hand and shook it, then turned around and left without signing.
But just after taking two steps, he turned back to Oda Shingo and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "The first child's surname must be that of the woman!"
Oda Shingo: "???"
