Female-dominated society: A beautiful boy from the countryside near Tokyo

Chapter 119 Editorial Department, Shimizu Yuzuki

Star Moon Comics Company, Comics Editing Department.

Shimizu Yuzuki stretched, revealing her beautiful curves.

She leaned back in her chair, looking at the comics on her computer screen.

"The plot is good, but the character illustrations are a bit lacking."

"Never mind, let her have it anyway."

Shimizu Yuzuki leaned forward and clicked the mouse with her right hand to get the manga she was reviewing signed.

Just then, the access door to the editorial department suddenly opened from the outside, and a woman dressed in formal attire, who looked to be in her forties, walked in.

"Hello, Minister Xiao Chun."

Upon seeing this woman, everyone in the editorial department stood up and bowed.

Shimizu Yuzuki, who was in the corner, stood up with them, but did not bow.

Deputy Minister Xiaochun Yangcai glanced at the editorial staff who stood up, bowed, and greeted her.

"Alright, everyone, sit down."

Xiao Chunyang waved her hand, then looked at the team leaders in the editorial department.

"Yamamoto, Miharu, and Akina, come to my office."

Xiao Chunyangcai was the first to enter the editorial department's head office.

Yamamoto Yoshika, Miharu Kaori, and several other editorial team leaders followed behind.

After the group entered the office, Xiao Chunyangcai did not close the office door, leaving it open.

So soon, everyone in the editorial department heard Xiao Chunyangcai's scolding voice coming from the office.

"What exactly are you group leaders? Group Leader Yamamoto, with so many people in your group, reviewing manuscripts every day, can't you find enough good manga?"

"And Meichun, as the head of the publicity team, I already told you last time that you need to increase publicity and fight those video bloggers online, especially now that it's spring break."

Outside the office, the editors, hearing Xiao Chunyang's increasingly stern voice from inside, all lowered their heads and continued with their work.

In the corner, Shimizu Yuzuki sat in a chair, clicking the mouse with her right hand and resting her fair chin on her left.

Her delicate and spirited face remained calm; she had experienced this scene three times this month.

Since the beginning of the month, every time Xiao Chunyangcai, who is the deputy head of the editorial department, comes here, she first calls several group leaders into her office.

Then, without closing the office door, he reprimanded the group leaders without any mercy from inside.

It all boils down to the same thing: criticizing why the comic editing team can't find top-tier comic works.

There's also the question of whether the editorial and publicity team has done a serious job of promoting the comics, and how to increase the popularity of Star Moon Comics as much as possible.

Of course, the first and third requirements are secondary; the primary requirement is the first one: to find top-tier comic works.

The current Star Moon Comics Company is different from its early days; it no longer lacks excellent comic works.

However, it lacks top-tier comic works that can truly make the company famous.

But whether it was Shimizu Yuzuki, the group leaders, or the members of the manga editing team, they all understood that top-notch manga works were hard to find.

After all, those top comic book artists have already signed with other companies and won't submit their work to their company.

In addition, most of the submissions to their company are from newcomers to comics, and most of their works are not even up to par.

Unless they encounter a genius comic artist who can create a top-notch comic book on their very first attempt.

But the probability of such a thing happening is almost zero; there are very few genius comic book artists.

Moreover, there are other manga companies in Tokyo besides Hoshigetsu Manga.

There are other comics with similar strength, and even several that are stronger.

Such talented comic book artists could simply submit their work to more famous comic book companies.

They would not invest in the slightly inferior Star Moon Comics company.

Shimizu Yuzuki, who had been working in the editorial department for several months, understood this very well.

But since the company's boss is her aunt, Shimizu Yuzuki knows that top-tier manga works are hard to find.

But ever since she started working in the editorial department, she still tries her best to review manuscripts and sign contracts every day at the company, hoping for the best.

However, to this day, Shimizu Yuzuki's wishful thinking has not come true.

Over the past few months, she has signed contracts for dozens of comic books, but only one of them will be published.

Unsurprisingly, there wasn't a single top-tier comic book among them.

Shimizu Yuzuki listened to the scolding voice of Xiao Chunyangcai coming from the office.

Her beautiful eyes remained calm as her right index finger, resting on the mouse, was about to click to bring up the next comic book.

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly beeped with a message notification.

As if she had just thought of something, Shimizu Yuzuki released the mouse, a smile appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Shimizu Yuzuki picked up her phone and opened it, and sure enough, it was just as she expected.

"Sister, are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

Shimizu Yuzuki glanced at her colleagues around her, who were all working with their heads down, and then looked in the direction of the office.

She hadn't been home for several days, and Shimizu Yuzuki had originally planned to go home today.

After all, with such an outstandingly handsome younger brother who also cooks incredibly delicious food, which older sister wouldn't want to go home?

But now, listening to the scolding voice of Chun-chan in the office, Shimizu Yuzuki felt that she probably wouldn't be able to leave today.

And then there's his good friend, Miyagi Shinrin. Just thinking about her makes Shimizu Yuzuki's brows furrow.

"I should have just told Shenling that Xiaozhen is good-looking and that's all."

Shimizu Yuzuki looked at the message Hoshino Makoto had sent her on her phone and sighed softly.

If I had known, I wouldn't have lied to my friend, Miyagi Shinrin, that he was just average-looking.

Otherwise, why would he be worried that Shenling would come to visit him during spring break, only to discover that he had lied to her?

"How am I supposed to explain this to Shenling? Never mind, I should reply to Xiaozhen's message first."

Shimizu Yuzuki shook her head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

She looked at the message Hoshino Makoto had sent her on her phone and typed a reply:

"Xiao Zhen, I won't be going home today. Remember to go to bed early."

Shimizu Yuzuki looked at the message she had sent and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's move on to the next comic draft."

Shimizu Yuzuki lightly patted her lower back, then clicked the mouse to continue working.

. . . . . .

The kitchen is located on the first floor of the villa.

"Aren't Auntie and Sister Youyue coming back today?"

"Then let's make less tonight."

Hoshino Makoto looked at the messages on his phone from his aunt Shimizu Setsukatsu and his older sister Shimizu Yuzuki.

"Start preparing dinner now, and after dinner, continue revising the 'Funeral of Frilian' manga."

"I've already revised most of it this afternoon; there are only a few pages left."
