December 28th.

With the end of many affairs, life seems to have returned to its former peace.

Kato Yusuke just got out of the Kyudo Tournament and the Fusugawa Annual Meeting, and he immediately plunged into the studio and started busy.

Hasumi Kanoko brought information about outsourcing companies for everyone to choose from.

There are three companies A, B and C.

Company A is a well-established company in the industry, and its main business is animation. It has many strong creative teams, and the quality of the animations it produces is well-known and gets stronger over time.

Company B started out specializing in outsourcing projects. Although it has participated in the production of several hit works, most of them have received mediocre response and are tepid.

Company C has not been established in the industry for a long time, and its main creative team is relatively young and can be regarded as the latest cutting-edge. The quality of its works is good and bad, with occasional revivals and sometimes collapse.

Friends have different opinions on which company to choose.

Some people admire big companies and big productions.

There is support for a steady and steady approach.

There are also people who like surprises.

Kato Yusuke thought about it carefully and finally chose Company A as the studio’s designated outsourcer.

Although the quotation it gave is almost the sum of the two companies B and C, it is the most reliable safety card, and there will be almost no mistakes.

After all, the outsourcing company industry is very deep, and there are both reliable and unreliable ones.

For those that are reliable, the quality of the works produced can basically meet Party A's requirements. As long as they don't pay special attention, few people can tell that it is produced by an outsourced party.

As for the unreliable ones, they may have already found a new partner from the moment they took the case, and will continue to outsource it, which is the so-called second-tier dealer.

If it is any less reliable, there might be three or four dealers.

If you go on like this step by step, you can naturally imagine what will be made in the end.

——It’s just a piece of shit.

In fact, this is also the only way for many small companies.

I initially gained experience by taking on outsourced work.

Once I have a little bit of foundation, I will start taking on projects and projects on my own.

If you find that you cannot complete the project on your own after accepting the project, you will outsource part of it until you are truly capable of being independent.

In such an environment.

If you don't carefully identify the pros and cons, you may be led into a trap accidentally.

Let’s not talk about the lack of quality at that time. If it affects the construction period and causes the work to be delayed, it will definitely be worth the loss!

Of course, Hasumi Kanoko had already made up for the precautions in this regard in advance, and even conducted an on-site investigation.

The three companies that were selected in the end are all relatively reliable, and there is basically no Russian nesting doll situation.

In addition, these companies themselves tend to cherish their feathers. If they find another company because of a not-so-difficult outsourcing job, it would not be enough to embarrass themselves by telling them.

"In short, this is basically the case. We choose Company A."

"Okay, then I will contact the representative of the other company now."

After Kato Yusuke made his decision, Hasumi Kanoko stood up and left the conference room.

Kato Yusuke turned to look at the members of the art club.

In addition to Eiri and Mayu Sagara, Izumi Hashishima also followed his brother to Tokyo and will stay here until the end of the winter vacation.

He pondered and asked: "Yinglili, how is the progress over there? Is there any problem?"

The person involved was eating potato chips. When he heard his question, he swallowed the potato chips in his mouth in several mouthfuls, then sat up slightly to answer him.

"...It's nothing. Generally speaking, all the characters' vertical drawings have been completed. Now it's time to prepare Furukawa Nagisa's CG1."

Kato Yusuke nodded and asked, "What about Mayu and Dekai? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Me me me~"

Mayu Xiangra immediately raised a hand, "Teacher, I have some ideas on the storyboards. Can you tell me about them when you have time?"

Next to her, Izumi Namishima stretched out his hand and pulled her arm, saying, "It's no longer possible, Sagara-san, the teacher is talking about game production now."

"Hey, we are just assistants. If there is no progress with Kashiwagi Eri-sensei, it won't be your or my turn to take action. We can only learn, right?"

"Uh-hu-"

Even though this was true, Yinglili was still choked to the point of being speechless for a moment.

"Ah, that's not what I meant, Mr. Eri Kashiwagi!"

After reacting, Mayu Sagara quickly made up for it:

"You just need to take your time. Chuhai and I have been able to imitate a little of your brushstrokes.

Don’t worry, we can help you with drawing and coloring at any time~!”

It was okay if she didn't say this, but when she said this, Ying Lili suddenly felt even more sorry.

"I, I'm going to draw now...!"

Not caring about fishing leisurely here anymore, the person involved hurriedly ran out of the conference room holding his own potato chips after saying this.

Mayu Sagara and Dekai Hashima exchanged glances, apologized to everyone, and hurriedly followed.

Following closely——

"Then let's go do our own work."

Yoshida and An Yilun also got up and left together.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the conference room.

"Well, Yusuke, I just thought about it and made a production schedule. Do you want to take a look?"

As Kei said this, she handed the prepared form to someone.

Kato Yusuke took it over and took a look.

On the paper with the scent of ink, the work plans of various departments are recorded on it.

For example, which part of the plot should be written in the script?

For example, which original paintings should be submitted specifically?

For example, which stage of the program should be completed.

These tasks are listed one by one according to specific days.

While Kato Yusuke was looking through his daily schedule, Megumi was also looking at him.

Naturally, the girl's eyes fell on his left wrist, or rather on the extra bright silver watch.

There was a faint thought in her eyes, and then she heard this sentence.

"What? Do you care about the gift I gave Yu-chan~Kato-san?" Shiyu asked with deep meaning.

The voice was not loud, just enough to keep it between the two of them without being heard by Kato Yusuke.

"...Although I do care a little, I don't care as much as Kasumigaoka-senpai thinks." Megumi answered her with the same volume.

"oh?"

Shiyu raised the corners of his lips with interest, leaned over and asked, "What do you think of that watch? Does it look good?"

As if she wasn't used to being so close, Hui moved her body slightly to the side and hummed.

"... Even if you ask Kasumigaoka-senpai, to be honest, I don't know much about watches, but they look pretty good."

"Haha~ Kato-san, you have a pretty good sense."

Shiyu sighed artificially.

"Oh, actually I have been choosing this for a long time before. I can only say that choosing a gift is really a troublesome thing. Fortunately, my boyfriend and friend like it quite a lot, and that's enough."

"Oh~~That's right, that's great."

Hui responded lukewarmly, as if she had no intention of continuing the topic.

However, Shiyu didn't want to let her go easily.

"So, my Yuu-chan has just won the individual championship in the National Advanced Kyudo Competition, and it's a rare Christmas. Haven't you, the vice-president, thought of preparing any gifts for him?"

"Hmm... Regardless of whether I am prepared or not, I don't think I have to answer Kasumigaoka-senpai, right?"

"...It sounds like you are really ready?"

Shiyu couldn't help but frown, "Kato-san, are you really planning to seduce other people's boyfriends?"

Hui looked at her with no emotion, her expression remained calm.

"First of all, Yusuke and I have been partners long before you started dating; secondly, I don't have the kind of plans that Kasumigaoka-senpai said, and finally..."

She looked at the reluctant Shiyu and said softly: "Senior Kasumigaoka and I have different views on some things, so you don't need to worry so much about my threats."
