After my divorce, I became a Tokyo literary giant

Chapter 32 Educating Maki
Early this morning, the atmosphere in the offices of various departments of Aoba Society was extremely solemn, as the Queen was inspecting the territory in a menacing manner.

"If there are no authors submitting their own manuscripts, won't you try to poach them? Will someone just sit at their computer and submit their own manuscripts? Can't you just contact the authors whose contracts are about to expire? It's the end of the month now, and you're going to leave this month's KPIs until August?"

In the editorial department, Maki Saionji asked the editor-in-chief questions.

Her tone was not very harsh, but her noble and majestic aura gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"Yes, I'm very sorry. In the afternoon... No, now, I will have a meeting with them now and inform them of your request..." The editor-in-chief bowed cautiously, not daring to look directly at the cold and beautiful president.

"I want you to carry out the execution, not to inform you!" Maki Saionji said in a cold voice.

"I understand!" The editor nodded.

"Submit the plan for the September issue as soon as possible."

"President, the number of submissions we've received has dropped dramatically. I'm afraid we won't have enough content for your September issue..."

"That's your problem!"

"Yes!" The editor-in-chief didn't dare to speak at all.

After getting the reply she wanted, Saionji Maki turned around and walked towards the sales department.

"Da da da……"

The crisp and loud sound of high heels is like the angry sound of war drums.

Maki Saionji stood with her back straight, her hair neatly tied in a bun on her head, and her dark pupils stared resolutely at everyone in the sales department, like a queen inspecting her troops on the battlefield.

The moment the employees in the sales department saw her coming, they focused their attention on the computer.

The July issue of "Aoba" sold less than 7 copies.

The performance was terrible and the sales department was primarily responsible, so no one dared to face the Queen's wrath.

The sales manager had no choice but to stand up and say, "President, we're planning to increase the budget and staffing for next month's promotion and expand the event. I'd like to ask for your opinion..."

"...Okay, send me the plan."

"Hi!"

The minister sat down with a sigh of relief.

Maki Saionji continued her patrol with a blank expression.

The employees who passed by the workstations were silent and only dared to observe her out of the corner of their eyes.

Cool, noble, majestic, and full of confidence...

A large number of words gathered in my mind and were finally completely summarized by one word.

——Difficult to get close to!
This is a difficult woman to approach!

The queen inspected the territory and came to the window seat of the sales department.

Tazaki Saku had just finished a phone call with his senior, put down his phone and looked up at her.

The queen glanced at him, then turned around and looked around. Her eyes were indifferent. After the invisible pressure drove away all curious eyes, she looked back at Tazaki Saku and asked calmly, "Have you completed your performance this month?"

"Not yet, halfway." Tazaki Saku replied.

"When you go out every day, only your body comes back, but your mind is still at home, right?" The queen's face was flat.

"President, it's my fault. Please forgive me." Tazaki Saku begged for mercy humbly.

Giving her enough face in front of others was part of the agreement between the two.

The queen narrowed her eyes and stared at him with contempt: "What a waste!"

Her voice is very pleasant, although it is cold, it can make people addicted.

Tazaki Saku lowered his head, trembling all over, and dared not speak.

The Queen looked away, her gaze slowly sweeping across the sales department. Her voice was cold and clear, "When I set your KPIs, I took everyone's abilities into full consideration, so I'll never give you a goal you can't achieve! If anyone fails to meet it, they'll be punished by the company, and everyone will be treated equally!"

The employees in the sales department didn't dare to look back.

Then, the Queen turned her gaze back to Tazaki Saku and said, "I personally have a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. This is not just talk."

"I, I know..." Tazaki said in a trembling voice.

Maki Saionji glanced at him coldly, turned around and was about to go back to the office.

"Snapped!"

A dull slapping sound suddenly rang out.

...This is a lesson learned in public!

The employees in the sales department couldn't help but feel sympathy for Tazaki Saku.

Although he was blessed with the beauty of being the queen's young lover, it was also a tough job to endure the queen's whipping day and night...

But these people would never have imagined that the peerless queen who they saw as the most charming woman in the world would be in a posture that they could never imagine, and was spanked like a little girl who had made a mistake.

Saionji Makinin turned around and walked forward with full aura.

Her waist is very thin, like that of a girl.

But her buttocks are extremely perky, holding up the tight skirt. When she walks, she looks extremely attractive from behind, with excellent elasticity.

Tazaki Saku followed behind dejectedly.

When his colleagues passed by his workstation, they all looked at him with sympathy, but they didn't know that he was the queen's master behind the scenes.

After walking up to the third floor and entering the president's office, Tazaki Saku sat directly in the president's seat.

The domineering, noble and cold Queen Qingye walked in and stood beside him like a maid, asking, "What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

"You have to bend lower." said Tazaki Saku.

Saionji Maki gritted her teeth and bent her waist even lower: "Would you like tea or coffee?"

"As a maid, what should you call me?" Tazaki Saku asked with a smile.

Saionji Maki fell silent.

Her eyes flickered, and after struggling for a moment, her sexy and noble little mouth slowly opened: "Master, would you like tea or coffee?"

"Yes, but your manners are not good enough." Tazaki Saku continued to teach her. Countless struggles and hesitations flashed through Saionji Maki's eyes before she slowly pulled the hem of her skirt up, revealing her snow-white thighs in garter stockings. She bent her knees slightly and bowed, "Master, would you like tea or coffee?"

The voice was cold and arrogant, but still the voice of a queen.

After she finished speaking, fearing that Tazaki Saku would continue to insult her, she added: "...Don't go too far!"

Even at this time, she is still acting like a queen.

But she may not know that this look of refusing to yield and dying will actually make people want to conquer her even more.

"Have you forgotten that you have to be my maid for three months? If you have forgotten, then the agreement will be invalidated. I will find a small publishing house to cooperate with." Tazaki Saku said expressionlessly.

This completely non-negotiable tone greatly shook Saionji Maki's faith.

The man before her, a country bumpkin whom she once looked down upon, now had to call him master... What a humiliation for the noble head of the Saionji family...

But what else could she do?

Compared to those men who wanted to defile her, this young man who only wanted to humiliate her mentally was already good to her. At least this way she could keep her innocence...

In comparison, Saionji Maki was less resistant.

The little hand that was holding the hem of the skirt was slowly lifted up, revealing more snow-white skin.

"That's pretty good." Tazaki Saku patted his thigh.

There was anger in Saionji Maki's eyes, but she lowered her head and sat obediently on his lap.

"I'll give you two novels, one for the September issue and one for the October issue."

Although the queen's butt was soft and fleshy, Tazaki Saku was focused and inserted a USB drive into her computer: "This is called 'Pinball in 1973', the sequel to 'Hear the Wind Sing'."

"Didn't you submit "Hear the Wind Sing" to Kodansha?" Saionji Maki frowned.

"Yes, I originally wanted to compete for this year's Group Portrait Award, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't even make the final judging list." Tazaki Saku smiled.

"Ha, rubbish! If your level is not up to par, just practice more!" Saionji Maki curled her lips in disdain.

Tazaki Saku didn't tolerate her and raised his hand to slap her fleshy thigh.

"Ah~"

Caught off guard, Saionji Maki screamed out, her eyes instantly filled with anger.

But she dared not speak out...

The queen suppressed her anger and lowered her eyebrows: "Please forgive me for saying such unpleasant things."

"If you make the same mistake again next time, it won't be so simple."

"...Maki understands."

"'Hear the Wind Sing' will be published in the September issue of 'Gunzo', and 'Pinball in 9' will also be published in the September issue of 'Aoba'. I'll try to take advantage of their popularity then..."

"How can you be so kind?" Saionji Maki said seriously, "I can't approve much more of your expenses..."

"I have my own way," Tazaki Saku said confidently, "For the entire month of August, you only need to do one thing, and that is to print 8 copies of 'Aoba' before September 9st."

"…10?"

When she heard this number, Saionji Maki was in trouble.

What she lacks most right now is working capital, and the company's account may be less than 500 million.

In the coming August, it is foreseeable that the sales of "Aoba" will not improve. It will be considered good enough to barely maintain the operation of the publishing house. There is no money to increase the printing volume.

"10 copies is just the minimum, to ensure we don't sell out in the first week. I estimate we can sell 15 to 20 copies for the whole month..."

"Are you really so confident?" Saionji Maki blinked.

Tazaki Saku smiled confidently: "Using a group portrait to appreciate the dark side of things to make an article, are you still worried about not having enough traffic?"

This smile was so dazzling that Saionji Maki's heart skipped a beat. She felt that he seemed even more handsome than last week...

No, no, it must be an illusion!

Saionji Maki quickly shook her head, no longer looking at his face to avoid exacerbating the illusion. She clenched her fists and said, "Okay, I'll mortgage my house right now to raise the money for more printing."

She was willing to mortgage her house, so it can be said that she was willing to take the risk.

"It hasn't come to that yet. Let me show you a piece of news."

Tazaki Saku placed one hand on her thigh and rubbed it, feeling the graceful touch between his fingers, and with the other hand he moved the mouse and opened the news on the computer.

The headline on the webpage was an obituary.

【Famous director Kakuei Tanaka passed away at the age of 72】

The moment she saw the obituary, Saionji Maki's eyes lit up with an extremely sharp look, and her entire demeanor changed.
The woman who had to endure humiliation when being bullied just now has turned back into a decisive queen.

Once a celebrity dies, relevant obituary news will circulate on television and online news.

The greater your reputation, the more traffic you get.

Kakuei Tanaka is the most famous director in Japan. Although he is a little behind the times, his influence is still there.

Countless media outlets rushed to report on the incident, influential figures inside and outside the circle expressed their condolences on social media, and relevant information was constantly forwarded.

Some people who are not usually interested in him will start paying attention to him because of the overwhelming news.

With traffic, there are business opportunities.

There was no way Saionji Maki didn't know this, so she immediately jumped off Tazaki Saku's lap and rushed out the door: "Asshole, don't sit there! Hurry up and come out to the meeting. If you want to humiliate me, you have to wait until then. Then you can do whatever you want to me..."

Just like that, on the first day after the obituary was announced, the employees of Aoba Sales Department urgently formulated an activity plan.

We quickly distributed the excess inventory to major bookstores, negotiated with them to set up special sales areas, redesigned our advertising, and added eulogies from celebrities...

Under the leadership of Maki Saionji, promotional activities were quickly launched.

In the next two weeks, all books related to Kakuei Tanaka were sold out.

Especially the autobiography published by Aobasha, because it is the only autobiography, all the 80,000 copies in stock were sold out!
Now that we have the money for printing, we are just waiting for the results of the Group Portrait Awards to be announced, and then we can get to work.
