County government, Kumamoto Prefecture Publicity Department meeting.

"Chief Fumugu, how is the progress of your Kumamoto Prefecture mascot design task over there? Are there any difficulties?"

A middle-aged man with a kind face looked at Shen Muqiren in front of him and asked with concern.

His name is Taken Tanaka, and he can be regarded as the person in charge of the promotion of Kumamoto Prefecture’s mascots.

Strictly speaking, he is Shenmu Qiren's boss.

But to be honest, the work of the design team at Shenmu Qiren has been slow to advance, and every time I come here, they report worries but not good news.

This caused the work of the publicity team on the other side to temporarily come to a standstill.

If this continues, let alone the end of the year, I feel that there will be no way to promote the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot character throughout the county in March next year.

As the Minister of Publicity and Development, Tanaka Ken will naturally come out to beat Fukagure Kirito and ask him to complete this task target before the end of the year.

Sensing the deeper meaning of Tanaka Ken's words, Fukure Kirito was actually secretly scolding MMP in his heart - this was not something he could decide, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't have a suitable mascot character before.

You can't use those discarded cases, right?

To be honest, every meeting was basically a meeting for Shen Muqiren to admit his mistakes and criticize him. He was pulled out and criticized and criticized again - but this time it was different.

Shen Muqiren calmed down her emotions, raised her head and answered seriously: "The design of the county's mascot characters has made great progress, and the design team will definitely be able to deliver results before the year."

He even felt that Higashinoji could solve all the problems and finalize the image of Kumamon in just a few days without even needing years ago.

"Really?" Tanaka Ken originally thought that he was about to enter the familiar "admittance" phase of Shenmu Qito again.

In the end, I didn't expect that the other party actually gave such a guarantee. The other members of the publicity department were also stunned, obviously surprised by Shenmu Qiren's answer.

After all, they had heard before that the design team was stuck in progress and there was no change at all.

Sensing the surprise of her colleagues, even Shen Muqi was a little embarrassed - her group had indeed been delayed for a long time.

But when she thought of Higashinoji and his Kumamon, Kirito Fumugure became energetic again, and explained to them: "Actually, this time it was because we invited Mr. Higashinoji from Urashima Publishing House. He designed the

It’s a very good mascot image, and I expect that the first product will be available for everyone to see in the next few days.”

Mr. Higashino from Urashima Publishing...?

"Is this the teacher Higashino who painted "The Lonely Gourmet"?"

A young government employee raised his hand and asked.

Teacher Higashino...this name has recently become particularly famous among the new generation of young people in Japan.

In particular, his paintings "The Ring" and "The Lonely Gourmet" are loved by many young people.

But except for this young staff member, none of the other middle-aged men present had heard of this name. They lowered their voices and had a subtle discussion below.

"It's that Mr. Higashino." Kirito Fumugure nodded: "Mr. Higashino's ability to design characters is very good. He only came to Kumamoto Prefecture for a few days and already had a design idea and finalized the first draft."

In fact, Tonoji decided on the first draft of Kumamon on the first day he came here, but the speed was too amazing. These colleagues would definitely be worried about the quality, so Kirito Fumugure helped cover it up.

"Really? That's really a capable teacher..." Tanaka Ken didn't know Higashinoji either, but it was rare to hear a good news from Fukure Kirito, and he was actually a little happy in his heart.

He groaned with satisfaction, and then nodded: "Then, Section Chief Shenmu, please work harder. You can also use some of the resources from other groups to try to let Mr. Higashino complete the mascot role within these two months."

Finalize it.”

"You should try your best to meet any requirements from Teacher Dongye, and be sure to speed up the progress."

Then he checked the situation of the publicity team and the leather case production team, and found nothing missing, so he ended the meeting.

Shen Muqiren and the section chiefs of several different groups also smiled and exchanged greetings for a while before leaving the conference room comfortably.

This is also the first time that he has left the conference room so easily.

You must know that at this time in the past, he had been hung up and criticized many times by Tanaka Ken.

Higashinoji is really his lucky star.

Shenmu Qiren kind of wants to see the progress of Higashinoji's work.

But if he went there frequently, he felt a little bad, and it seemed like he was forcing Higashinoji.

"It's better to wait for Mr. Higashino."

The other party also said that it would be over in the next few days, so he might as well let the red rabbit horse rest for a while.

After making up her mind, Shen Muqiren breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the design team's office.

There are still some budgets that need his approval...

...

To be honest, it doesn’t take long to create PPT copywriting. Tonoji has already prepared the content that needs to be added to the PPT.

The main color of Kumamon is black, which is mainly to match the color of Kumamoto Castle, a historical landmark building.

The reason why it has two funny blushes is not just to increase its cuteness, but more importantly because Kumamoto Prefecture is known as the "Land of Fire", plus the watermelon and tomato production in Kumamoto Prefecture

It ranks first in Japan, so it wears blush on its cheeks. Without the blush, Kumamon is just an ordinary black bear.

Higashinoji recalled the knowledge he gained about Kumamoto Prefecture in the past two days, and then compared it with the image of Kumamon Bear. Through the combination of the two, he summarized a lot of meanings that he had not noticed before.

To be honest, it doesn't take Higashinoji long to just be a copycat and plagiarize the image of Kumamon.

But for the key action design, Higashino had to start from scratch, and this process cannot be ignored.

It’s still the same sentence - Wen Chao Gong also needs to use his brain, and a simple and rigid Wen Chao Gong will definitely not work.

Higashino stretched himself and looked at the PPT that had several pages written on it.

The specific copy of Kumamon has basically been written, and with the combination of pictures and text, the Kumamon left on the laptop screen looks very interesting.

Next is the PPT of Kumamon’s movements...

Just when Higashinoji wanted to work harder and finish all the PPTs, Higashino Chihaya behind him had already eagerly leaned over: "Asi, asi, asi."

She called Asi several times in a row, which made Touyesi turn around and ask her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"I'm hungry." Chihaya Higashino put her index finger to her mouth.

oh--

Only then did Touyoshi react.

It's already one o'clock in the afternoon. Breakfast was eaten at eight o'clock. Five hours have passed directly. It's natural for Higashino Chihaya to be hungry.

Even Higashinoji feels his stomach is empty now.

"Then let's go eat."

"Um!"

Higashino stood up, turned off the power, and walked out of the hotel with Higashino Chihaya.

This hotel has an independent restaurant and provides free breakfast every day.

But the taste is not particularly good, so Higashinoji plans to take Higashino Chihaya out to eat.

Perhaps because of the meal, Higashinoji and Higashino Chihaya had just left the hotel when they met Hayakawa Susu and Mizuno Manabu who had returned from outside chatting and laughing.

"Good afternoon, teachers." Higashino took the initiative to say hello.

"Ah...good afternoon, Mr. Higashino, are you going to go sightseeing again?" Hayakawa Su responded, and then asked a little curiously.

Higashinoji has been here for two days... Why does he take his sister out for sightseeing every day? Do you regard this work as a pure trip?

This kind of lazy attitude even felt a bit bad, even Hayakawa Su and the others.

Although they are not particularly interested in this job, they will still work when they need to work... Higashino makes it seem like they are the only ones working hard... which makes them a little uncomfortable.

It's like a group of fishermen has a person who is better at fishing than them. Naturally, it makes them feel uncomfortable - how can you be more lazy than me?

"Teacher Higashino, the salary offered by Shenmu-san is quite good. I hope you can work harder. Maybe the mascot character you designed will be favored by Shenmu-san?"

As Hayakawa Su spoke, he felt a little unworthy of Kirito Fumugure. After all, Higashinoji was too good at fishing. They could say that they fished for three days and dried the nets for two days. Higashinoji felt that he had always been

I never stopped posting on the Internet.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking my sister to eat."

Higashinoji naturally understood the meaning of Hayakawa Su's words. He smiled and shook his head, but also sighed a little.

Human beings are indeed the most complex creatures in the world. He clearly saw that these colleagues did not want him to work hard... but when they saw that he was really fishing, they seemed to be unable to help but talk a few words.

So in the end, Tonoji nodded politely to them, without arguing, and left calmly.

There's really nothing to say.

When others are prejudiced against you from the bottom of their hearts, it doesn't matter even if you say it out loud.

Therefore, Tonoji personally prefers to present facts to convince them.

only...

Next to her, Chihaya Higashino seemed a little unhappy.

She saw Hayakawa Su and the others getting farther and farther away, then she got close to Higashinoji's ear, and said to Higashinoji very unhappily: "Asi, Asi, why do I think they have a problem with you?"

"It's okay." Higashinoji smiled and touched Chihaya Higashino's head: "I don't care if they have any opinions on me."
