Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 134: Prodigal sister, shrewd elder sister

"Just stand there!"

Kodansha, Executive Office.

The day after Takeda Maki returned, the luxurious office was in chaos.

The two women, one wearing a black OL uniform and the other wearing a high-end white ladies' suit.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, performed the "eagle catches chicken" scene around the desk.

Takeda Shinki was shaking with anger, and her soft chest was trembling.

Two days after I left the company, my stupid sister dared to publish a novel in eight publications of all sizes.

"Group Portrait", "Kotan Club", "Modern Times".

The circulation of Kodansha magazines accounts for 70% of the total circulation of magazines in the publishing industry, and her sister suddenly gave away less than half of the share of space.

"Stand still and don't run."

The usually cold president was furious, and Mrs. Takeda was running around like a chicken being chased by the other party.

"I'm already so old, and you still hit me with the ring."

Mrs. Takeda was wearing a tight skirt with her long legs tucked into shiny stockings.

She ran around, holding her beautiful buttocks, while her sister was holding a long, thin stick in her hand.

The kind that can leave thin stripes with just a snap.

"Beat you?"

The woman laughed angrily, "You're using the company's resources to promote your lover. If I don't open the company, you'll be fine!"

Mrs. Takeda was just a powerless little woman in Tokyo and had to rely on her sister for everything.

But when Mrs. Takeda heard the other party say that Ryukawa Toru was her lover, her face first turned red and then she shouted.

"What's the matter? We have to submit the manuscript anyway. You've read Long Chuan Te's manuscript. It's well written!"

My sister is so stupid that she is outrageous. She was deceived by Longchuan Che.

"What's a magazine?"

Mrs. Takeda grumbled as the sisters' dispute suddenly turned into a test of the editor's knowledge.

“Traditional media publications that are targeted at specific groups.”

That’s right, compared to all those miscellaneous contents, the significance of a magazine lies in its dissemination.

They are the reader group cultivated by various publishing houses and an important tool for publishing houses to occupy the market.

Through magazine publicity and dissemination, we can make money by publishing after the market response is good.

Compared to magazines, book publishing is the bigger part.

Magazines are an important channel for publicity. Except for magazines like Shincho which are almost academic, the other magazines published by Kodansha are mainly focused on commercial value.

"Do you know how much those pages are worth?"

Takeda Shinki took two steps forward in her high heels.

Ryukawa Tetsu's novels are closer to pure text works. It is difficult to make money from pure literary works, which is almost a consensus among all publishing houses.

Ryukawa Toru told his sister that she could make money, but he didn't know that the winning works of the last Akutagawa Prize had sales of less than 500,000 single volumes. In Takeda Maki's opinion, her sister would suffer a huge loss by giving out so much space.

"Except for promoting your little lover, our Kodansha has no benefit at all. I think you are planning to be buried by the Kujo family for the rest of your life."

In the luxurious office, there was a outsider besides the two sisters.

Yuya Shinoda was standing there with his soft and white flesh exposed.

The deputy editor-in-chief's eyes follow the nose, and the nose follows the heart.

She didn't dare to interfere in the affairs of the two sisters. She came here because Takeda Maki asked her to.

The president of Kodansha hardly has any say in anything, and almost all the real power is in the hands of the woman who holds the commandments.

"Your position as editor-in-chief will be taken over by Deputy Editor-in-Chief Shinoda from now on."

Except for the beginning, Takeda Maki never touched her sister.

The woman rubbed her wrist tiredly and spoke in a very cold tone.

I don't need any help at all, but my sister came to Tokyo and she foolishly said she wanted to help.

Now not only did they make a losing deal with Ryukawa Tetsu, but more importantly, they would be accused of nepotism. Authority was very important, especially since Kodansha was not owned by the Takeda family.

The woman's words made Shinoda Yuu's face light up, while his wife's face darkened.

This woman was targeting me some time ago, and now she is trying to get on my head.

"What can I do if she is the editor-in-chief?"

The wife was angry and spoke like a child.

"I've arranged a blind date for you. You should stay at home to take care of your husband and children and spend less time with Longchuan Che."

Not only did I lose my job, but my sister also forced me to get married.

Mrs. Takeda's face turned pale.

"You can marry me if you want. You controlled me when I was a kid, and now you still want to control me."

Takako Takeda slammed the door and left, and the loud noise could be heard throughout the office floor.

After my sister left, the whole office became quiet.

The woman raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, then put down what she was holding and looked at the other person present.

"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself for Editor-in-Chief Shinoda."

The woman looked at the old man in the company who had been constantly making things difficult for her sister and smiled gently.

"Group 6 will have a hard time collecting and reading manuscripts from now on."

He finally got rid of the title of deputy, and was appointed by the general manager himself.

Yu Shinoda nodded excitedly in thanks.

People are divided into different classes. She dared to be sarcastic to Mrs. Takeda, but she absolutely dared not show any disrespect to Takeda Shinki.

A woman has a high status and great power, and crushing her is as easy as crushing an ant.

Watching Yu Shinoda leave excitedly, Takeda Shinki calmed down for two seconds, then pressed the internal connection.

"Yu Shinoda from the editorial department, ask the compliance department to check her out soon."

The Grand Society is like a small kingdom with its own operating rules.

The Compliance Department is the department that investigates violations by internal employees. In fact, Yu Shinoda's deliberate misconduct also violates company regulations.

The woman who was so excited just now might lose her job later. Takeda Shinki sighed and looked at the documents on the table.

"Pinball in 1973" and "A Wild Sheep Chase".

Ryukawa Toru said that this work will definitely sell well in the future, and Takeda Maki just wants to throw it into the trash can.

Pure literary works took up a large part of the space in their own magazines and even reached popular magazines.

This is because Takeda Takako is her sister, no one else could have done this.

"I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later."

The boy, who was much younger than her, caused her sister to suffer and herself to lose money.

The woman narrowed her eyes and thought about how to deal with this boy.

It seems that today is the day when the winners of the Youth Awards are announced. Should we make a fuss about this?

When the woman was thinking this, the secretary rushed in.

"General Manager, General Manager."

The young secretary who I had kept by my side and trained carefully was panting.

"what happened?"

Takeda Shinki frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

She doesn't like subordinates who are flustered, as that makes her feel that things are unexpected.

"Outside, outside."

The girl patted her chest, swallowed and pointed outside the window.

There was something outside, and it made the secretary who had been with him for quite some time panic.

Takeda Shinki opened the window and her pupils shrank.
