Chapter 3 Editors and Cartoonists 03

Faced with this situation, Tang Qie simply replied: "Yes." Then he handed the cardboard box to her: "See if you can handle it."

"What?" Lin Mu casually put the scalpel into her pocket, rubbed her hands on her clothes, and then took the cardboard box.Holding the cardboard box and walking into the house, "Let's talk in the house."

Tang Qi followed in, and Lin Mu's home was rather chaotic. The people who lived in this apartment were all in good financial condition, but Lin Mu never hired hourly workers to clean it, just letting the house be in such a mess.

As soon as he walked into the living room, Tang Qi could smell a strong smell of chemicals, but Tang Qi was used to it, every time he came to Lin Mu's house, he felt like he was taking drugs.

The dining room and the living room of Lin Mu’s house are separated by a large space, without any partition. The big dining table in the dining room was placed under the window by Lin Mu, and there are bottles and cans on the table. There are also tools such as scissors, tweezers, and wire cutters.

Lin Mu put the cardboard box on the coffee table in the living room, and then took out the scalpel in his pocket. Although the strong and pungent chemical smell in the room made Tang Qi unable to smell the smell of peacock and pheasant, Lin Mu She was keenly aware of it, "Ah la, you didn't hit some cat or dog with your car, and then you sent it to me to destroy the corpse for fear of being condemned by the citizens, right?" The newspaper was solved with a knife.

Then she saw the dead peacock pheasant that had begun to rot. The moment Lin Mu saw it, his eyes lit up like a hungry cat seeing a fish.

"Wow~ This bird is not common! The last time I saw it, my master took me to visit the Natural History Museum."

Tang Qi raised the topic directly, "Do you think you can handle it?"

"Let me take a look." Lin Mu didn't show any disgust at all, but excitedly took the Peacock Pheasant into his hand and examined it carefully.

When Tang Qi first moved here, Lin Mu had lived here for several years. After Tang Qi chatted with Lin Mu for a few words, the two were unexpectedly in tune with each other, and the relationship was also good. Lin Mu's job was quite special. She claims to be the top taxidermist in the country, and she regards her home as a studio, but maybe it is because of work, Lin Mu is either away from home for a long time, or stays at home for more than a month , is a mysterious woman.

Before, Lin Mu enthusiastically recommended to Tang Qie her technique of stitching wounds, even if you were injured in a place with a tattoo, she can mend it well for you.

"The rotting area is not particularly large. It looks like it has been dead for a while, but the feather is a bit ruined. I don't know if it can be rescued." Naturally, Lin Mu would not give up an opportunity to make rare specimens, and she did not ask Tang And the origin of this bird, based on her understanding of Tang Qie, she also believed that Tang Qie would not do anything illegal.

After the inspection, Lin Mu carefully put the peacock pheasant into a water tank filled with liquid placed on the dining table serving as a workbench, then returned to the coffee table, and took out the rice that Tang Qie had just bought from the box. .

"what is this?"

"I bought takeaway just now."

Lin Mu didn't care whether he wiped his hands clean, and patted Tang Qi's shoulder sympathetically: "Editor Tang, if I were you, I wouldn't eat this bowl of rice." Lin Mu thought Tang Qi's work was quite interesting , so he simply followed Guan Tang and called Tang Bian. "This specimen is finally..."

Tang Qi replied very simply, "It's yours."

"That's great! Then I'm not in a hurry to do it. I'm going out of town next week, and it may take another half a month to come back."

"Don't worry, this is for you."

"That's what I like about you, it's refreshing!" Lin Mu patted Tang Qi again and again, "Or after I peel it off, I can bring you the unspoiled meat to make soup?"

"No, you can just keep it. I have something to do, so I'll go first."

Lin Mu curled his lips, his neighbor is good at everything, but he can't make jokes, "Well, go slowly." Tang Qi went out with his meal in his hand, took out his key and returned to his house, his nose, which had been poisoned for a long time, finally It was time to breathe the fresh air, and the rice in his hand was indeed, as Lin Mu said, basically inedible.He threw the rice into the trash can, then took some eggs from the refrigerator, and made himself a bowl of noodles.

After eating, I went to Jiang Jun’s house again. Jiang Jun didn’t lose the chain at the critical moment, and he showed super hand speed, allowing Tang Qie to get the manuscript before he got off work. After he checked the drawing carefully Just put it in the folder.

Before Tang Qi left, Jiang Jun squatted in the study and asked with a very sincere expression: "Editor Tang, as an editor, you have a well-behaved and obedient cartoonist like me, and as an adjudicator, do you feel very happy to have such a reliable companion like me?" Do you feel safe? Do you feel that life is much better? By the way, last month was the first year of my "Lucky~Super Popular Girl" serialization. You were specifically mentioned in it, Editor Tang, how do you feel?"

Tang Qi did remember that in the postscript of the last time, Mr. Jiang exposed 100% of his middle school illness, and he replied: "Oh, that last time, there are too many words, I don't want to read it, I'm leaving first , I hope your manuscript for next month can be handed in on time."

"... No way! Editor Tang is so cruel! Can we still play again!!! Hey? You just leave! We broke up for 10 minutes!!! Can't be less!"

Tang Qie didn't dump Mr. Jiang at all, and went directly back to the editorial department with the folder. After returning, he handed over all the manuscripts to the editor-in-chief for approval.

As the editor-in-chief of the result file bag, the first thing he read was Mr. Jiang’s manuscript. While reading it, he sighed: "Xiao Tang, you did a great job. No one can handle this Mr. Jiang except you. Oh, By the way, today the editorial department received a particularly large courier for Mr. Jiang, which takes up too much space, so you can deliver it to Mr. Jiang while you are off work."

"Okay, editor."

The editor-in-chief nodded in satisfaction, "You are getting more and more familiar with the work here. Not bad, work hard. Maybe you will be the leader of the second team after Lao Yan is transferred next month."

"Sweetdream" is a half-monthly magazine, with nearly [-] cartoonists regularly serialized, plus the rest of the short stories. In order to be responsible for these cartoonists, the editorial department has two teams, one group of four people, and the second group of three Personally, Tang Qie is working in the second group now.

The most important aspect of the work assignment between the team leader and the editors in the team is that the team leader can participate in the meeting where the serialized works are decided.

Tang Qi is not very interested in being the team leader. His ultimate goal is to become an editor of "TEEN", but being the team leader of the second team is also a good performance.

Facing the editor-in-chief's praise, Tang Qie said modestly: "The editor-in-chief taught me, otherwise I wouldn't have learned so much."

"Enen, it's because of your hard work that you did a good job, so go ahead."

Tang Qie left the office and saw the courier that the editor-in-chief was talking about. This courier used snakeskin bags used by ordinary stores to deliver goods. The courier slips affixed to the snakeskin bags were crumpled. The rest were simply unrecognizable.

For the sake of safety, Tang Qixian touched it with common sense, and it felt like a sandbag wrapped in paper, which was very soft.Thinking of the peacock pheasant today, Tang Qie had a bad feeling.

The last batch of things was actually received more than a week ago, and the things were actually not received by them, but handled by the reception department of the magazine, because the scale of things usually sent is not particularly large, so it is I will save them together and hand them over to cartoonists.After all, the editor is also very busy, and the reception department not only accepts the courier from the fans of the cartoonist, but also the things sent by the readers to the magazine, so the workload is also very heavy.There is no way to remember the details of when everything was received.

Tang Qi drew a small opening in the bag with a Swiss knife. Through this small opening, he saw that there was indeed something wrapped in newspaper inside.

So, after get off work, Tang Qi did two things, the first one was to call Mr. Jiang.

"Hello? What's the matter, Editor Tang? Well, I know it's time, um, we're reconciled." After answering the phone, Mr. Jiang still didn't forget his stalk of breaking up.

Tang Qie didn't pick up the words at all, but said to Jiang Jun in a very serious tone: "Listen, we may have met your extreme fans, you must not run around recently, you know?"

After Mr. Jiang was silent for a long time, his voice came out from the phone again, "Is it really the people from the demon world chasing here...Damn it, my strength hasn't fully recovered yet, don't worry, the executor, I won't Reckless."

Tang Qie repeatedly told him to hang up the phone, and the second thing he did was to go back to the apartment with his bag on his shoulders, and went to Lin Mu's house again.

A well-dressed handsome guy with a gentle appearance was walking on the road with a snakeskin bag on his shoulders, which attracted the attention of many passers-by. Tang Qi arrived at his destination with a serious face.

When Lin Mu opened the door, he was immediately laughed at by Tang Qi's image, "Editor Tang, what are you doing? Migrant Worker Show??"

Tang Qie didn't answer. After he put the snakeskin bag on his shoulder on the ground, he said to Lin Mu with relief, "I'll leave it to you."

"Eh?"

Lin Mu squatted down and cut the bag completely with a scalpel curiously. After removing the newspaper and seeing the contents clearly, she couldn't help complaining: "Where did you meet this friend? I give you a gift every day." Wild game? It can’t be some kind of hunter in the deep mountains and old forests, right?”

At the same time, Tang Qi also saw the contents of the bag, which contained a huge bird. After careful identification, he found that it was a great bustard. Similarly, this great bustard was also tragically killed, and its feathers were messed up with blood. into a ball.

This, no matter how you look at it, is not an expression of goodwill from fans.

Tang Qi couldn't help but feel a little headache, what kind of fans Jiang Jun has provoked.

People who live in deep mountains and old forests, hunt for a living, and like to read girls' manga magazines?
