Big Manga

Xu Jing's cake was ready the next afternoon.

The cake is one meter wide and fifteen meters long. Twelve chefs stayed up all night and spent 20 hours making it, with a total price of more than 100,000 yuan.

Meng Huo originally thought that the cake would be about the same height as a person. He didn't expect Xu Jing to prepare such a terrifying Big Mac. It was delivered by a truck and placed at the entrance of the company, so that he couldn't even enter the gate.

In desperation, Meng Huo called out all the company's employees to hold an open-air cake banquet. In the end, the entire company couldn't finish eating, and he asked passers-by to join in.

"Never make such a request again next time..."

At the end of the cake feast, everyone seemed very excited, only Meng Huo was weak.

The matter of the cake soon appeared in the Ninghai Daily, and the report was about the collective celebration of the Phoenix Company. No one knew that it was a reward from Xu Jing to Meng Huo, otherwise there would have been media hype that Meng Huo was showing off his wealth.

This week, the popularity of "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls" continued unabated. Due to the influence of CCTV news, the first-day sales of the two magazines both broke through the highest point in history, and the local sales in Ninghai surpassed that of "Zhongxia Daily".

Of course, when it comes to national sales, although Phoenix has made great progress, compared with Zhongxia, there is still a gap that cannot be crossed.

Despite this, Meng Huo still felt that Phoenix was in good condition, and the thriving scene reassured him, and his work this week was going very smoothly.

However, after it passed smoothly, Meng Huo woke up on Friday and received a call that gave him a headache.

"I'll go to your house in the afternoon."

Shen Jie said so on the phone, the troublesome girl is going on vacation.

Meng Huo really didn't want to see Shen Jie. It was difficult for him to deal with this girl, but he had to deal with it. He had to find a way to restrict her actions. And this way, I had one when I saw Alice during the day.

"Alice, how about you staying at my house on vacation?" Meng Huo asked proactively.

Alice froze for a moment: "Why?"

"It's nothing." Meng Huo found an excuse: "I just want you to accompany my mother."

"Accompany Sister Qin? Isn't Shen Jie going to go on vacation?" Alice apologized: "I don't have time this week, I have something to do at home..."

"Home?" A look of surprise flashed across Meng Huo's eyes.

Then he said, "I'm sorry. When I didn't say it, you have a holiday and spend time with your family."

He remembered that Alice was busy all day and night, and her work sometimes exceeded the scope of an editor. Meng Huo used her as a secretary.

This situation is unacceptable, Meng Huo thought he'd better find an assistant who could take shifts. Alice is Xu Jing's daughter and a married person, so it's not good to always ask her to help, what if there is a family dispute.

But besides Alice, is there anyone else who can help him?

Meng Huo was a little distressed, his assistant at work had no idea, but he had a way to deal with Shen Jie. That day, he called the cartoonist's assistant, and then asked the driver to go to Ninghai No. 1 Middle School before leaving get off work.

In the afternoon, Shen Jie came to Jiayuan Community by bus. She walked into Meng Huo's house excitedly, but when she entered, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Shen Jie, why did you come here..."

Two roommates greeted her while sitting in the living room. Meng Huo, on the other hand, was drinking tea leisurely. Shen Jie was stunned for a long time before she puffed up her face angrily. Meng Huo's move was powerful enough. He invited two roommates, so Shen Jie couldn't get too close to him.

But she didn't give up, and quickly thought of other moves.

"Meng Huo, I remember you don't have work tonight, go to the movies with me, there is still a lot of money in the membership card."

After dinner, Shen Jie invited Meng Huo. Meng Huo checked the time. Smile back: "Go with your roommate, I have work tonight."

Less than half an hour after he finished speaking, Tomato and Teacher Huameng came over.

"Teacher He Xi, let's draw."

"I brought supper, I can eat it when I'm tired from work..."

Watch the cartoonists walk in. Shen Jie glanced at Meng Huo resentfully, but she could tell the importance of it. If Meng Huo wanted to work, she would never disturb him.

"Let's go to the movies!"

She left with her two roommates, and Meng Huo sent them away, thinking that Shen Jie was still a little tender after all, but in the end he was the one who had the upper hand.

Meng Huo didn't have to work at all, and the manga for next week had already been finished. This time, he called in three assistants to prepare for next week's manga serialization, so he could do it or not.

He started painting easily at home with his assistants.

"I said Teacher Tomato, when will your wedding with Teacher Huameng be held?"

Slowly drawing the picture, Meng Huo suddenly asked.

"...cough, cough..."

The faces of the two parties were flushed. Teacher Huameng bowed her head and drew silently, while Teacher Tomato asked embarrassingly, "How did the teacher know about this?"

Meng Huo smiled: "It's spread in the company."

"Then... no wonder, they say everything..." Tomato touched his head and said with a wry smile, "We haven't made a specific decision yet. We wanted to tell the teacher when we have decided."

"But it's coming soon." Diao Wenlin, who was writing a manuscript, said with a smile, "Teacher Tomato said he was looking at the house a few days ago!"

"This... this..."

Tomato was a little speechless, Teacher Hua Meng interjected: "Okay, don't talk about it, Teacher He Xi is still young..."

She glared at Tomato, who shivered.

"Yes, let's not talk about this!" Teacher Tomato's mind flashed, and he remembered another thing: "Mr. He Xi, I brought a manuscript today and I want you to read it."

He took out a manuscript from his bag and carefully handed it to Meng Huo.

Meng Huo took the manuscript and read it. He is now in charge of the review of "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls". All new comics must be reviewed by the editorial department and handed over to him. Only when he nods can they be serialized.

Tomato's behavior went beyond the process of the editorial department, but Meng Huo didn't take it seriously. What he was interested in was the quality of the manuscript.

This is a very good manuscript, the subject is a phantom thief, and it is a perfect phantom thief. Since the Phantom Thief Kidd appeared in "Detective Conan", the character of phantom thief has appeared in some comics of Phoenix Company one after another, even in Zhongxia comics.

However, there is still no juvenile manga with a pure thief as the main character. The manga Mr. Tomato gave to Meng Huo is exactly such a manga.

The name of the manga is "Phantom Thief King". The male protagonist was born in a family of monster thieves. He specializes in stealing illegal treasures and exchanging money to help others. It is a story of robbing the rich and helping the poor. The content is old-fashioned, but the technique is well used.

This strange thief's method of stealing is similar to magic, mysterious and elegant, just like the strange thief Kidd, it already meets Meng Huo's requirements for "Weekly Boy".

"The painting skills are very good. Although the story is ordinary, it is quite satisfactory, stable and not exaggerated, not bad."

After reading the original manuscript, Meng Huo flipped through the setting collection again, and praised: "The style of this comic is very cautious, and it can be seen that hard work has been put into it. I really didn't expect Mach to have such a hard work one day."

His words made Tomato stand up in surprise: "Mr. He Xi, you can see it!"

This original manuscript is the work of Mach, and it took half a year to think about it. Tomato was surprised when he saw it. He brought it to Meng Huo because he wanted to start with the work and slowly bring forward the changes in mach.

"I've seen his cartoons before, and I was impressed by his drawing skills, and he draws better than you, so why can't I see it." Meng Huo put down the original manuscript, smiled at Tomato, and researched his first book. The most popular is the "Sherlock" comics. With his memory, it is not difficult to recognize Mach's drawing skills.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Meng Huo asked curiously: "I remember you were very hostile to Mach before, why did you change your mind, and... Isn't Mach in Zhongxia Company? How could he submit an article to me?"

Tomato didn't dare to hide it, and quickly told Meng Huo about Mach's change and resignation.

After listening to the lecture, Meng Huo pondered for a moment and said, "Phoenix Company welcomes any cartoonist."

"You tell him, as long as I don't do the same things in the future, I will let the past go. This comic has been approved by me, but I still have to send it to the editorial department for other people to review."

What Meng Huo said was almost equivalent to that he forgave Mach.

after get off work,

On the way, Teacher Tomato notified Mach of Meng Huo's reply on his mobile phone, and Mach cried in a low voice, and then thanked him three times.

"Thank you, thank you, Teacher Tomato, and... thank you, Teacher He Xi!"

After finishing the call, Tomato standing next to Huameng let out a long sigh of relief, and he looked back at the small courtyard that was still lit.

"Literati always like to despise each other, but Teacher He Xi is an exception." Tomato shook his head and sighed: "His open-mindedness makes me ashamed..."

"Mr. He Xi is young, but staying by his side is very reassuring." Hua Meng said with a smile: "The atmosphere around him seems to calm the minds of all cartoonists, less struggle, and only work hard for painting .”

"You're right, I found my youthful passion around Teacher He Xi." Tomato clenched his fists: "I want to continue to be a cartoonist and create the future with Teacher He Xi! There will definitely be many companions around him , It must be a great feeling to work hard together.”

"It's so nice of you..."

Xi Wenlin at the side heard this, and was a little envious: "You all know how to draw, but I am the only one who can't. I'm so envious of you..."

When he saw this group of struggling people, a flame seemed to be ignited in his heart. It would be great if he could paint.

"What are you talking about!" Teacher Tomato smiled, and he put his arms around Xi Wenlin's shoulders: "You are also by our side, and you are also a cartoonist!"

"That's right, Wenlin, you are like Qiuren in "Dream Eater", writing stories and scripts for comics..." Teacher Huameng smiled: "You are also a cartoonist..."

"As long as Teacher He Xi is still here, we will always be together."

Before they knew it, Meng Huo became their contact center, and the three believed that they would always be together.

But on this night, a plane flickered, flying from the far west to Ninghai.

It introduces unknown variables. (Your support from Dingtian Novels is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
