My Cartoonist Guide

"What do you need the magazine to do?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Edition page. When will Mr. Wang serialize it? You tell me that I want to adjust the layout of the plot. There may be a few words in length, reaching 40 pages." Shen Xin explained.

"Even so, it is impossible to beat Wang Yunze, right?" Shang Haozhi reminded.

"I can only go one step at a time. If Mr. Wang is serializing recently, I might be able to take advantage of the popularity of "Soul of the Chess" to surpass his new work. Now, it is not easy to say." Shen Xin shook his head helplessly, "As for the booklet... After watching the animation, can it be achieved. Fortunately, after the new year, there is still room for choice."

"Okay, if I know when he will serialize it, I will tell you. The page will also be found for you." Shang Haozhi agreed.

Looking at Shang Haozhi's expression, Wang Wenhong sighed inwardly, this is Shen Xin's privilege, and "ComicFuture" is impossible for anyone except Shen Xin to obtain.

Of course, this is also determined by the opponent.

If the opponent is not Wang Yunze, Shen Xin should not take it so seriously.

At this time, Xi Muhan came up with three plates of small cakes, each with a cup of black tea.

The pastries are small and exquisite, and the white cream is filled with various fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, pineapples, and topped with rich chocolate, which immediately attracted the attention of three people.

The dining spoon dug a spoonful of cake, and the soft cream spread out in the mouth just after the mouth, stimulating the taste buds of the three.

"How is it?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin expectantly.

"Not bad." Shen Xin nodded.

"Xiaohan's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Wang Wenhong smiled.

"I just signed up for a cooking class recently." Xi Muhan smiled slightly, took the tray, and walked down the stairs.

"Whoever marries him in the future is also a blessing." Shang Haozhi sighed.

"Ahem..."

Shen Xin was drinking tea, and suddenly choked on hearing Shang Haozhi's words.

"Are you okay?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"No... I didn't pay attention when drinking tea." Shen Xin glanced at Xi Muhan who was walking towards the kitchen, and felt a little disappointed in his heart.

What if the relationship is good? Finally, we must separate.

It is the answer to that sentence: If you say that there is no destiny, why do you get together; if you say that there is destiny, why do you live?

Thinking of this, Shen Xin could only sigh silently.

After sending Shang Haozhi away, Shen Xin turned to look at Wang Wenhong, somewhat surprised, "You won't leave?"

Wang Wenhong shook his head, "Do you still have something to say?"

"what?"

"Since you said to withdraw the proposal of'Seven Three Open', you should have a plan in your heart?"

"Haha..." Shen Xin laughed dryly, without making a sound.

"Moreover, you didn't clarify the conditions for your victory..." Wang Wenhong went on to say when Shen Xin hadn't answered.

Shen Xin looked to the left and right. Seeing that the eyes of the assistants were looking at him, he coughed slightly, "Shall we go up and talk?"

"Yes." Wang Wenhong nodded.

The two sat back on the sofa on the second floor again, and Shen Xin crossed his fingers and put them on his lap, looking at Wang Wenhong who was sitting opposite.

"What do you want to say?"

"Did you choose to leave "ComicFuture" after "Steel Refining" is over?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.

"With such a big platform as "ComicFuture", why should I leave?" Shen Xin shook his head.

Wang Wenhong snorted coldly, "The two of us have worked together for so long... No, at first, we were even enemies. I know that you have room for doing things. However, as you just said, 10 million copies were sold in 12 months. ...How difficult is this, don't I need to say more?"

"It's very big. But... don't people just want to force themselves? If "Steel Refining" can sell 10 million copies in 12 months, it is estimated that it will be the most powerful comic in the country."

"This is the strangest place! You should have also considered the consequences of not selling 10 million copies of "Steel Refining"? That way, you will be at a disadvantage in the game with the magazine."

Wang Wenhong's eyes are piercing, and Shen Xin rarely sees such a serious Wang Wenhong.

"These words don't seem to be what the editor should say?" Shen Xin smiled.

"I don't care. The contract expires in the second half of next year. I'm still considering whether to renew the contract with the magazine." Wang Wenhong smiled.

"This is a matter between you and the magazine, I can't be the master." Shen Xin shrugged.

"But I want to know, if the sales volume of "Steel Refining" does not reach 10 million copies, how would you choose? Stop signing with "ComicFuture" and choose how to play?" Wang Wenhong curiously asked.

"Next...I haven't thought about the next one yet, so I am not sure about my future choice. Don't worry, if nothing happens, "Steel Refining" can be drawn for another three years. Next year, your contract with the magazine will arrive. Period, if you are still interested, let's talk about it." Shen Xin smiled.

"Don't worry about me?"

"No. You are still a member of the magazine, and I don't want to embarrass you."

"Then I am leaving now."

"Don't be like this. If you really want to help me, just think about it, how can "Steel Refining" achieve a sales volume of 10 million copies a year? I'm serious."

Wang Wenhong looked at Shen Xin. Although Shen Xin was smiling, his eyes showed determination.

"Okay, then wait until the contract expires next year, I will talk to you again."

After Wang Wenhong left, Xi Muhan brought the black tea up and placed it next to Shen Xin's workbench.

"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?" Xi Muhan asked.

"Yes, there are a lot of thoughts. There are present and future." Shen Xin took a sip of black tea.

"You...do you want to say it?" Xi Muhan whispered.

Shen Xin was taken aback, looked up at the pure Xi Muhan that revealed his whole body, and shook his head slightly, "It's not a concern to say it."

Xi Muhan pursed his lips, with some dissatisfaction on his face, "What's so good about, who is still not worried?"

"..."

Shen Xin thought for a while, Xi Muhan was really right.

Everyone has concerns.

Shen Xin has it, Xi Muhan has it, and Bao Jiyi has it. Especially when Shang Haozhi told him Shen Xin's words, he didn't say anything. After three or four minutes of deep thought, he asked: "What does teacher Shen mean."

"Very clear. He accepted your request in full. After he completes the two conditions you mentioned, I hope you will follow."

"What if I don't answer?" Bao Jiyi asked back.

"I'm going to leave, right?"

"The problem is ~www.NovelMTL.com~ I don't even know what his conditions are... Isn't he a bit too much to do this?" Bao Jiyi said angrily.

"It's too much. But I think it's too much to let "Steel Refining" complete the sales of 10 million copies in a postponement year." Shang Haozhi's answer is also very simple.

"Lao Shang, who do you support?" Bao Jiyi rolled his eyes.

"This is a matter for the two of you. I can't take care of it. When the time comes, don't push this matter to me. Dong Bao, I think no matter what Mr. Shen chooses in the future, it will be a win-win situation. "ComicFuture" is serialized. If Mr. Shen can really do the two points you mentioned, "Steel Refining" is probably also hitting the ceiling of China Comics."

"Steel Refining... is it really so powerful?" Bao Jiyi asked suspiciously.

"I believe in Teacher Shen." Shang Haozhi nodded.

Bao Jiyi nodded slightly, "Let's see where he can go? If you can really do these two points, then you might as well listen to his request."
