Started as a comics editor

Chapter 1: Reappearance
“I participated in interviews with more than 20 companies.”

"For no reason, regardless of the gazes of those around me, I desperately challenged them."

“But…all failed!”

"If you are so miserable, please stop saying it with a smile on your face, okay..."

Tang Yao listened to the agonizing speech and glanced helplessly at the applicant across from her. She couldn't help but say, "Besides graphic design, isn't all your work experience related to games? You even made fan games as a student... The gaming industry has been booming lately. Compared to comic editing, I actually recommend trying the gaming industry. There should be a better future there."

"I've been there, but no one wants me."

Opposite Tang Yao, a decadent, melancholic, bald man sighed deeply upon hearing this... If he wasn't indoors, he would have probably taken out a cigarette.

——In short, it’s all stories.

"..."

……All?

When Tang Yao heard the word "all" which really had a story behind it, she couldn't help but take a closer look at the applicant in front of her.

Kang Ming, who was sitting opposite Tang Yao, couldn't hold back his anger when he saw her looking at him, and his face turned red.

In fact, from his previous self-explosive remarks, it can be seen that this guy is not a shameless person.

But... the woman in front of me is so outstanding.

In fact, the publishing house where Tang Yao works is located in the most prosperous center of the city. There is no shortage of glamorous and exquisite women here, let alone beautiful women.

Rather, Kang Ming saw a lot along the way.

In comparison, Tang Yao's makeup and clothes were perfunctory... She wore almost invisible light makeup, or maybe even no makeup at all, and her clothes were also very ordinary, a very simple white shirt with black straight trousers, an outfit that was completely out of place.

If you put aside her figure, appearance and temperament, she is not worth mentioning at all.

But the thing is, he can't ignore the facts...

That flawless jade-like face, those lively eyes, that sweet aura between maturity and youth... Logically, when God opens a door, he must close a window, right? But the girl in front of me is not only beautiful, but also has a body that is unbelievable, with those incredible curves...

So which window did God close for her?

Kang Ming is still thinking about it.

Anyway, he was clearly here for an interview, but he always had this inexplicable feeling of inferiority that he was polluting the air just sitting across from her...

the other side.

Tang Yao stared at the applicant in front of her for a moment, then remained silent for a moment before speaking again, "Other small companies..."

Kang Ming sighed and said in self-deprecation, "I've basically gone to every gaming company on the market, and none of them want me."

"So you came to try your luck with us, huh?"

"..."

Ok.

Tang Yao finally understood how he had gained more than twenty interview experiences.

She reluctantly picked up the documents on the table, looked through them again, and said hesitantly, "Your resume is actually quite impressive. Although you don't have any relevant work experience, since HR approved it, if you really want to give it a try, I can..."

"..."

Kang Ming, who was already in despair, looked up suddenly when he heard this.

Sure enough, is the girl in front of me an angel?

"Wait a minute, don't get excited. I don't have the final say... Most of the team is out, and the editor-in-chief has to attend a very important meeting. I'm just meeting you on his behalf."

Tang Yao raised her fair little hand, signaling Kang Ming to calm down, and added, "Whether it's actually okay or not still needs to be reviewed by the editor-in-chief, but I'll try my best to make your review look better."

"……grateful."

Kang Ming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head again. Although he was a little disappointed, he still thanked him, as if he had gotten used to it. "Then I'll go back and wait for notification?"

"Well, take care, I'm almost leaving..."

Tang Yao gave a clear answer and stood up at the same time.

However, after she stood up, she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she reached out and took out a pair of paper cutting scissors from the pen holder on the desk. Then, holding the scissors, she waved them gently with a hint of murderous intent, as if she was going to stab someone.

"???"

Kang Ming, who had a strong hairstyle at such a young age, was stunned.

What is this going to do?
Is there such a part in the interview?

She looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, who was gently waving the scissors, with her beautiful peach blossom eyes holding a hint of murderous intent, and was a little confused: "What is this?"

"Don't be nervous...it's nothing personal."

Tang Yao came back to her senses after hearing this. Holding the scissors, she turned around and smiled softly. Her smile, with dimples, was like a blooming cornflower, exuding a captivating charm. "I'm just preparing weapons to urge the manuscript to be submitted... Don't worry."

Oh, so it's a weapon to rush submissions... No! What you said doesn't sound right!

Kang Ming sweatdropped down his face. "A weapon to urge, to urge submission?"

"Yeah, I wanted to buy a kitchen knife, but it's not very convenient to carry."

“…Are all comic book editors like this?”

"Look at people."

"That is not bad……"

"The editor I know usually carries a kitchen knife."

"!!!!!!"

"..."

Kang Ming felt terrible. He looked at the murderous girl, then at his resume. He suddenly wanted to take his resume back and run away...

Actually, it’s not impossible to try the gaming company again.

But a pity.

After Tang Yao chose her weapon, she picked up her resume on the table and left the reception room directly.

……

Tang Yao walked out of the reception room holding her resume. After returning to her workstation and putting her resume away, she went out with two file bags.

She wasn't joking, she really wanted to rush for the manuscript.

Although she didn't want to go at all, unfortunately she couldn't delay any longer... She walked out of the company, came to the roadside, and waved to stop a car.

soon.

A taxi stopped.

Tang Yao opened the back door, excused herself, and gave the address of an upscale residential complex not far from the city center. But the driver didn't move. The middle-aged man, who had been driving a taxi for several years, glanced sideways in the rearview mirror, stunned for about five seconds before reacting and starting the car.

Even after the car started, he still frequently looked at the rearview mirror inside the car.

"..."

Tang Yao moved to the side helplessly, sat by the window, and used the seat to block her view.

The driver then withdrew his gaze, but a look of astonishment still remained on his face.

"...So why is that?"

Tang Yao looked at the scenery outside the car window and felt a little angry, especially when she recalled the driver's look just now... She couldn't help but lean forward slightly, with a look of despair on her face, she leaned her forehead against the seat and complained softly.

She had been here for a week, but honestly, she still had a hard time understanding the situation.

You said rebirth, it doesn't seem like it, after all, the gender doesn't match...

But when it comes to time travel, there's a sense of déjà vu everywhere, and the only remaining explanation seems to be a parallel world.

But this parallel world is too weird.

The mobile Internet is ready to take off.

Online games are still very popular, but many things about them are extremely immature.

At the same time, there is a complete animation industry in China.

Even though we are about to enter the era of mobile Internet, traditional magazines are not dead yet.

What's even more exaggerated is the vast territory that occupies most of Asia...

Tang Yao didn't quite understand, but was deeply shocked.

Yes.

She didn't originally belong to this world, at least her soul didn't belong here.

When she first arrived, she fought, complained, and gave up on herself.

But after going through four stages of shock, denial, anger, and depression.

She accepted her fate... She had to accept her fate because she would starve to death if she didn't work, so she went to work.

Position: Comics Editor!
This was a profession that was not well-known in her previous life and she had never done it before.

After a week of painful adjustment and frantically reading through the original owner's memories, she roughly understood what this job required of her.

Then I realized that this job is pretty good, but I don’t really want to live anymore…

Because this job sucks.

I was an ox or a horse in my previous life, and I will be an ox or a horse again after traveling through time.

Then I wouldn't have traveled through time in vain.
Tang Yao has already planned to resign and run away.

But before that, she still has to do this job.

There was no way out, poverty forced her to endure humiliation.

Poverty forced her to leave the company despite her reluctance.

In fact, this is also the current situation that she is most dissatisfied with. Even after work, the gender issue that makes her extremely entangled seems insignificant in front of this menial job called "comic editor".

As for why I am so dissatisfied...

"Little girl, here we are."

The driver's voice sounded.

Tang Yao came back to her senses, sighed deeply, paid the fare silently and got off the car.

After getting off the bus, she looked up at the high-end residential complex located in a prime location in the city center not far away, sighed again, and then walked in with heavy steps.

ten minutes later.

Tang Yao came to Building C, on the 20th floor, in the center of the community, and rang the doorbell.

Although I really don't want to come and my heart is heavy.

But the moment she rang the doorbell, she suppressed her unnecessary expressions and tried her best to appear more imposing.

Although the effect is not very good.

Soon, accompanied by footsteps, the door opened and a man in his thirties wearing round-framed glasses and with a somewhat dull expression appeared at the door.

The moment he saw Tang Yao, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Editor Tang."

"...Assistant Li, excuse me, is Teacher Ou here?"

Tang Yao greeted him politely, then looked behind Assistant Li and said straight to the point, "I'm here to discuss the storyboards for this episode."

"..."

When the assistant named Li heard this, he remembered something and the joy in his eyes faded instantly.

Her expression changed and she turned back subconsciously.

And he just turned back.

An impatient voice came from behind him.

"Li Jiang! Is that the female editor? If so, get her out! I've eaten more salt than she has eaten rice! Does she understand character creation? Or plot? Or drawing? She's just an amateur! Where does she get the guts to point fingers and say my drawing is bad?
Tell her to get out, as far away as possible!"

The impatient voice was not small.

Li Jiang heard it all.

Of course Tang Yao heard it too.

"..."

Li Jiang turned back awkwardly, looked at Tang Yao sheepishly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Tang Yao had no expression on her face.

That's right.

This is one of the reasons why she doesn't want to do it.

　I feel like if I don't start writing soon I'm going to forget how to write... So this is a book for rehabilitation, to be honest, the last book was such a huge blow to me, I was a little scared, I felt I couldn't go on like this... Then this book came about, and you can tell from the beginning where the inspiration for this book came from, but to be honest, comic editing is just an introduction, this time the girl's goal is to become a member of the adult world, because I want to try to string together the things I like...

　　If you can forgive me, and if you still have some anticipation after watching it, I would like to ask for your support...

　　Also, sorry it took so long.
