Zhuang Yan actually wanted to go to the table next to him to toast, not because he wanted to talk to Gu Hongming and them, but because he wanted to talk to Yu Zhongqing.

It's just that there are a lot of people around Yu Zhongqing, if you want to toast, you must have the ability to "see the seams".

And what Zhuang Yan wants to say, it is inconvenient for others to listen to it, anyway, Lian Liwen asked him to come over to talk about running a school, and it doesn't hurt to wait until the banquet is over to find him.

They didn't go to toast, but someone else came to toast them.

The first to come was a young man, who was a little shy with his glass, and it seemed that he didn't do such things often.

"Hello Mr. Zhuang, my name is Li Kun and I am an illustrator. ”

There are two illustrators invited by Zhuang Yan this time, one is named Li Kun, who is younger, and seems to have just graduated from college for more than a year, and the other is not very old, named Wang Xu, who is also in his early thirties.

The two of them were a little surprised when they received Zhuang Yan's invitation, because they really couldn't understand what the intersection between them and Zhuang Yan was.

But since it was Zhuang Yan's invitation, how could they refuse.

When they arrived at the place, they saw that the guests were all bigwigs from all walks of life, and they were even more surprised and a little excited, after all, they usually can't participate in such an occasion.

When everyone was toasting, Li Kun was thin-skinned and wanted to toast Zhuang Yan, but he was not too embarrassed, and in the end, Wang Xu pouted him, so he came over with a red face.

Wang Xu, this guy, pushed him to the front, but he followed behind with a wine glass.

Zhuang Yan heard the young man in front of him introduce himself, and also knew that he was the illustrator of "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta", so he picked up his wine glass and touched him, "Hello." ”

Hello, Li Kun looked very excited, although he didn't know why Zhuang Yan invited him to come, but Zhuang Yan was so close to the people that he didn't expect it. After drying the liquor in the cup in one gulp, Li Kun said with a red face, "Teacher Zhuang, I am your book lover, and I have read all your books." ”

"Drink slowly, don't rush. Zhuang Yan heard that the illustrator was still a fan of his books, so he naturally had a more intimate attitude, and he said to Li Kun with a smile, "I have some cooperation with Yanjing Art Film Studio, and I also invited them over this time." It just so happened that I also needed illustrations for my next book, so I asked the studio if there were any recommended candidates, and they recommended two, and one named Wang Xu, I don't know if I came today. ”

Wang Xu was just behind, and when he heard Zhuang Yan mention himself, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Teacher Zhuang, I am Wang Xu." ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, the reason why he said this was to dispel the doubts of the two, and at the same time, his new book did have some illustrations to draw.

In the book "Sophie's World", there are many stories in it that need to be combined with pictures to make people truly immersed. And as a philosophical enlightenment book, maybe, just maybe, some parents will also buy it back and read it to their children.

If there are young readers, there are illustrations, which is undoubtedly more convenient for them to read.

Of course, Zhuang Yan himself still doesn't recommend reading this book too young, although the content of this book is a bit dreamy, but it is a really obscure book.

Even though it is called a popular, enlightening philosophy book by professionals in the industry, it is a philosophy book after all, and popularity is only relative.

If you are looking for an illustrator, it is natural not to look elsewhere if you have a ready-made one.

Hearing Zhuang Yan say that the new book has illustrations, and he is willing to find them, both of them are excited. Being able to illustrate Zhuang Yan's calligraphy and painting is a great thing just thinking about it.

chatted with Li Kun and them for a while, and encouraged them a few more words, and the two also knew that Zhuang Yan would be very busy, so they didn't dare to delay, so they went back to their seats.

In fact, Wang Li and Li are both older than Zhuang Yan, and it seems that something is wrong for him to encourage them. But after all, he was here, and it wasn't unnatural to say those words of encouragement.

As soon as the two of them left, the leadership team of the Yanjing Art Film Studio came over.

Yan Ming, the director of the factory, and Wan Chaochen, Zhuang Yan have all seen their photos on the Internet before, so they naturally know each other.

Yan Ming said hello when he came over with Wan Chaochen, and it was inconvenient to say too much, just congratulated Zhuang Yanxi for his beloved apprentice, and congratulated Liang Qichao for finding a good teacher for his son.

After Yan Ming and the others left, Ren Weimin came over again, and Ren Lian followed behind his father, even holding a glass of wine.

"Zhuang Yan, Zhuoru, congratulations. ”

Ren Weimin smiled and said hello to Zhuang Yan, but his eyes were staring at Liang Sicheng.

The manuscript that Liu He gave to Liang Sicheng was not packed with anything, but later Zhuang Yan sent his own manuscript, and there happened to be a box, and Liang Sicheng put both manuscripts in Zhuang Yan's box.

The box that now contains two manuscripts is held by Liang Sicheng on his lap.

And what Ren Weimin was staring at was the box on his lap.

His gaze was so eager, and so undisguised, that others could naturally see that he was not drunk.

Ma Yin chuckled and said, "Yo, be careful, your eyes are about to fall off." ”

"Hahahaha. Everyone else at the table laughed.

Then Ma Yinchu raised his eyebrows at Wang Lijian and them, Wang Lijian understood, stood next to him, and left a vacant seat for Ren Weimin, "If you want to read, sit down first." ”

Yu Hai's eyes immediately lit up, he brought a chair over, and poured three more glasses of wine, "Come on, come on, drink three glasses first." ”

They often drink together, and they have a good understanding of each other, just now Ma Yinchu casually made a color, and Yu Hai and they understood it.

Ren Weimin didn't seem to be very good at drinking, and said with an embarrassed face, "How can you drink so much wine, besides, if you drink alcohol, I am afraid that you will stain the book for a while." ”

"Why don't I watch it first, and then drink these three glasses of wine. ”

Ren Weimin is not a stunned young man, he fully understands Ma Yinchu's style, and knows that it is definitely not three glasses of wine that can do anything, so he proposed to read the book first and then drink.

"No, no, no, it's absolutely not going to work. Ma Yinchu and they firmly disagreed.

Ren Weimin saw that their path was not going through, so he said to Liang Sicheng, "Sicheng, Uncle Ren begs you something......

"Sicheng, go find your mother, I'll keep this box for you first. Liang Qichao suddenly patted his son's head and said.

Liang Siwei came to see Ren Weimin to find himself, and was embarrassed about what to do, when he heard his father's words, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Ren Weimin, "Uncle Ren, I'm out of company." ”

After saying that, the kid ran away.

Zhuang Yan watched from behind, thinking that his apprentice's legs and feet were quite fast, if he didn't do academics, he should have a bowl of rice to eat when he went to practice track and field.
