After Shioya Shunji arrived at Xu Yue's office, he gave Kamishiro Rize, who stood beside Xu Yue, an extra look.
For some reason, he felt that she was somewhat similar to Sen-sensei.
Then he shifted his gaze to Kaneki.
If nothing unexpected happened, his work would probably have something to do with this young man.
Because he had misjudged Sen-sensei's work back then, he would not underestimate young people now, especially one brought in by this mysterious deputy editor-in-chief.
Never mind his abilities—even his connections alone were a powerful resource. As long as there was nothing seriously wrong with him personally, he would be able to thrive in this industry.
"Shunji-kun, this student Kaneki is a new intern editor I recruited. He's very talented in this area and is an avid fan of Sen-sensei's works, so I'm assigning him to you."
Xu Yue spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
There was neither an order nor any coercion, yet Shioya Shunji instantly felt a crushing pressure bearing down on him, as if he had no choice but to obey the other man's command!
He nearly responded with an instinctive "Yes," but the image of Takatsuki Sen flashed through his mind. He bit his tongue as soon as he opened his mouth and forcibly swallowed the words back!
"Editor-in-Chief, Takatsuki Sen-sensei doesn't like interacting with strangers."
Shioya Shunji said this with difficulty.
"Oh? Doesn't she often hold meet-and-greets with fans? How could she dislike interacting with strangers? Kaneki-kun is one of her most devoted fans."
"Or are you worried that Kaneki will replace you? There's no need to worry about that. I'm merely training new talent. I won't forget your contributions. Once Kaneki is trained up, I'll promote you to chief editor."
Xu Yue's words were calm, but they immediately brought cold sweat
