At the beginning, Xue Yingying signed a design fee agreement with Nanqiao Toy Factory, stipulating that for every Happy Planet plush toy sold, she would get a dime commission.

As of early January this year, Nanqiao Toy Factory has sold a total of about 150,000 Happy Planet brand plush toys, that is to say, in just one or two months, Xue Yingying can get a design fee of 15,000 yuan, which is tantamount to an astronomical amount for a high school student.

Xue Yingying, who was struggling to get together Dragon Ball, suddenly became more active, now that she has money, she can buy a laptop by herself, and she no longer has to be oppressed by her mother.

The day after the 15,000 yuan design fee was transferred to her bank card, Xue Yingying made a call to Li Feng: "Hey, Li Feng, I received your design fee." It seems that the performance of Nanqiao Toy Factory is very good, and it made 15,000 yuan at once, and when I saw the numbers on the bank card, I was really shocked, this is the largest amount of money I have ever seen in my life, and it seems that I really have to treat you to a good meal. ”

"Haha, now the benefits of Nanqiao Toy Factory are very good, and a bigger number is still to come. But since you're going to invite me to dinner, I'm more than happy to do so. Li Feng said, "I'm going to beat you hard this time." ”

"Don't knock too hard, I still want to buy a laptop with the rest of the money, Li Feng, I was just about to ask you for help, what brand of laptop is better to buy?" Xue Yingying asked.

"Buy a laptop, don't you have a computer at home?" asked Li Feng.

"Hey, I really don't want to mention this, my mom locked my computer before, I looked for a long time to find the key, but I didn't expect to be found by my mom just after a week. Now she has come up with an even more perverted solution, actually dismantling all the parts of the computer and scattering them in all corners of the house. Now I want to go to the net, it's even more difficult than getting all the Dragon Balls, and I'm really forced to go to Liangshan, and there is no way. Xue Yingying frowned and complained.

"Your mother is really weird, what's the big deal about being on the net, and it's not a flood beast. But it's also good to buy a laptop so that you don't have to worry about your keys anymore. It's just that you have to hide it well and don't let her find out again. Li Feng said, "Then I'll go buy it with you then." ”

"Okay, you have a little conscience. Xue Yingying said happily.

"Hehe, but you'll have to treat me to dinner first. Li Feng said.

"It's really unprofitable not to get up early, you know how to eat, what do you want to eat this time?" asked Xue Yingying.

"There's a new steakhouse in the city center, why don't you try it there?" Li Feng said.

"Okay, then tomorrow at noon, you have to accompany me to buy a computer after eating." ”

"No problem. ”

After hanging up Xue Yingying's phone, Li Feng remembered that he had assigned him the task of designing the cartoon image of Happy Planet before, and he didn't know how she had completed it.

Okay, ask her again tomorrow.

The next day the weather was not very good, with a little snow in the air.

Before the arrival of the New Year, the streets of Xianhu City were crowded with people, although the weather at this time was very cold, but could not stop the enthusiasm of the citizens, a large number of citizens began to enter the city to purchase New Year's goods, the small downtown pedestrian street was crowded.

In 2002, there were not many large shopping malls in Xianhu City, and the streets of the commercial district were crowded and narrow, with almost no lofty atmosphere. However, compared with the city blocks more than ten years later, Xianhu City at this moment has more of the flavor of the New Year.

Through the crowded crowd, Li Feng and Xue Yingying walked to the Shengyuan steakhouse in the city center, the door opened, and the aroma came to their faces, which made people suddenly have an appetite, and the two chose a window seat to sit down.

There was still light snow outside the window, sitting in the warm room and looking at the bustling scenery outside the window, Li Feng's heart inexplicably sprung up with a warm feeling.

"Time flies, I didn't expect us to be eighteen years old. Xue Yingying said, "It's just that when I reach the age of eighteen, I am still managed like a primary school student by my mother, and I feel quite unhappy." ”

"You give the impression of being a good girl, I didn't expect to have such a rebellious time. However, I very much support your point of view, life is not only about the present, but also about the pursuit of poetry and distance. Li Feng said, "There are only a few months left before the third year of high school, and whether you can succeed depends on the next few months, so you have to hurry up during this time." ”

"Li Feng, do you think my comics can really succeed?" Xue Yingying said, "Now at the Donghua Forum, Happy Planet's four-panel comics have indeed had a lot of influence, but I'm afraid there are still 108,000 miles before I become a real cartoonist." ”

"The four-panel comics on the Tung Wah Forum just lay the foundation for your fame, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on it to become famous. So to make a name for yourself and get a place in the comics industry, you still have a lot of work to do, and I think it's time to publish your paper book. Li Feng said.

Things on the Internet are completely virtual, although they can gain high popularity, but it is still difficult to be recognized in the real world, especially at the beginning of the 21st century, the application of the Internet has not been popularized on a large scale, and the Internet is just a fashionable lifestyle for young people.

In such a period, if there is no offline physical book, it is far from enough to have a reputation on the Internet, at least it cannot make Xue Yingying's parents realize how strong their daughter's ability is.

"Publishing paper books? You mean publishing cartoon picture books?" Xue Yingying's eyes flashed, and her face was filled with an inexplicable look.

"It's not enough to have a small fame on the Internet, you have to fix these names in the form of a physical book and become your real capital. Li Feng said, "So I think the method of publishing cartoon picture books is very feasible, the origin of the Literature Society's You Xiangyun family is to open a publishing house, we can ask You Xiangyun to help, let Tengda Publishing House publish a 'Happy Planet' cartoon picture book for you, if the market response of this book is good, not only for the brand promotion of 'Happy Planet', but also for you to really enter the cartoon industry." ”

"It's a pretty good idea, if I can publish my own cartoon picture book, it will be convincing enough in front of my parents, and they will not only not stop me from drawing comics, but will also support it." Xue Yingying said happily.
