Chapter 88: 30 Hasegawa's progress
"Hasegawa, am I doing this right? I can't seem to find the feeling." Yuigahama Yui asked Hasegawa for help.
Hasegawa frowned slightly: "It may be a bit offensive next, you have to be patient."
"Ah?" Yuigahama Yui was stunned.
Hasegawa put his right hand on Yuigahama Yui's lower abdomen. Even with a layer of clothes between them, Hasegawa could still feel the softness of the girl's body.
But Yuigahama Yui felt that Hasegawa's palm seemed to be hot, and the heat made her whole body numb, and her whole body was hot and soft, as if she had no strength.
Take a deep breath and suppress the ripples in her heart: "Okay Yuigahama, you can start now."
"Ah? Oh. I know." Yuigahama Yui, who was reminded by Hasegawa, still blushed and responded quickly.
...
"That's all about abdominal breathing. Then, regarding the throat, when singing, you have to try to open it. When most people talk, their throats are flat, but when singing, they need to open their throats. Come on, make an "oh" sound..."
Hasegawa patiently guides Yuigahama Yui to master these basic knowledge, and although Yuigahama Yui still seems a little stupid. However, Hasegawa is a little surprised. How to say it, although she is still a little stupid, it is only a little, unlike when Hasegawa taught her to learn before, when it was really hard.
Moreover, as Hasegawa continues to teach Yuigahama Yui, the proficiency of the teacher's skills in his attribute column is constantly improving, so that his teaching level is also beginning to become more and more powerful. Yuigahama Yui is also more and more able to accept the knowledge taught by Hasegawa, and the speed of mastering it is getting faster and faster.
This is almost to establish a good cycle. If this situation continues, Yuigahama Yui's learning speed will almost get faster and faster.
After discovering this, Hasegawa was even happier. After all, as a teacher, although the genius who can learn something once and even apply it back to the past will make the teacher feel unfulfilled, it is still happier than the dull-witted person who can't learn anything no matter how hard you try.
"Okay, that's all for today. If you have time, read and practice more of the things I gave you. I will make some revisions to the content I'll tell you later, and then send it to you by email. You can receive it then." Looking at the time, it was already late, Hasegawa said to Yuigahama Yui.
"Ah? Is it over?" Yuigahama Yui was a little surprised and a little regretful.
How should I put it? This is the first time for Yuigahama Yui, the first time in history that she has learned something so quickly. The first time the teacher taught, she was not only able to listen, but also able to learn. It was almost as if she didn't feel the passage of time.
This situation has never happened to Yuigahama Yui before.
"Yes, it's over. And the knowledge I've taught you is enough for you to learn. The rest, we'll do it after you master it." Hasegawa smiled and nodded to Yuigahama Yui.
"Well, okay." Yuigahama Yui nodded reluctantly.
...
The next day, Hasegawa went out early after breakfast in the morning. He made an appointment with someone to meet again.
The agreed place was a cafe. It was a high-end one. There was also a piano in the cafe. A girl sat in front of the piano, playing the piano with a focused look, and beautiful music echoed in the cafe.
"Teacher Hasegawa, here." Machida Sonoko saw Hasegawa coming in, and directly raised her head and shouted to Hasegawa.
"Hello, Editor Machida." Hasegawa came over, greeted her with a smile, and sat opposite her.
"Teacher Hasegawa looks good. But that's right. If I were Hasegawa, I would feel very good knowing that my work has sold well." Machida Sonoko said to Hasegawa with a smile.
"Luck, just good luck." Hasegawa waved his hand and said modestly.
"It's not a matter of luck. It's the sales brought by the real quality. In just one week, the 20,000 copies of the two printings have been sold out. The third printing will be carried out next. Moreover, this time the publisher plans to print 30,000 copies directly. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Teacher Hasegawa, "Tokyo Ghoul" is popular." Machida Sonoko said with a smile on her face, and even her face was slightly proud.
But that's right. After all, the book "Tokyo Ghoul" was written by her author, and it was a new author. As an editor, Machida Sonoko can not only get credit and praise, but also get a considerable bonus. At the same time, it can also be turned into her qualifications, and can even be used as a bargaining chip for promotion when necessary.
"30,000 copies? Isn't this a bit, too much?" Although Hasegawa knew that his book would be printed and published for the third time, he did not expect that the third time would directly print 30,000 copies. You know, the previous two times were only 10,000 copies each.
"You may think it's not normal, Mr. Hasegawa. However, we have collected a lot of data and information. In fact, the previous sales of 20,000 copies seem to be just a warm-up. Next, "Tokyo Ghoul" will be really popular. According to our calculations, the third printing of 30,000 copies should be sold out within this month."
"Really?" Hasegawa was surprised.
"Of course it's true. After all, our publishing house won't do business at a loss. Especially, Mr. Hasegawa, the content of your second volume is even more exciting than the first volume. And not only the content, but also the writing style has become better than the previous one. At the same time, the arrangement of the plot and various subplots are all arranged just right. Mr. Hasegawa, you have improved too fast." Machida Sonoko praised generously.
Hasegawa had handed over the second volume of "Tokyo Ghoul" to Machida Sonoko long ago, and Machida Sonoko had already determined its quality after seeing the manuscript of the second volume. Even if some of the word habits in the second volume were not the same as those in the first volume, she would even doubt whether Hasegawa had hired a powerful person to write the content of the second volume.
