Chapter XXXI
Although the activity room of the Talented and Beautiful Club in the Ghost Building is not very spacious, there is a yellowed air conditioner snorting and spitting cold air, which is even more precious on this sultry afternoon in late summer, especially for students who do not have air conditioning in the dormitory.
As usual, Ye Jing tied up her hair, and was writing her homework in front of the small conference table under the air conditioner, although the campus idols were also very popular after the catwalk, but with the gradual development of their studies after the start of school, the college students also slowly began to forget the situation that day, and forgot the girls who made their hearts flutter. Although the current loneliness of the club is a little unpleasant to Li Ming, Ye Jing is very satisfied with the blandness at the moment.
Ye Jing flipped through a few pages of the book, grabbed the pen and copied a few lines of formulas roughly, looking absent-minded. It's just because of the influence of the two seniors of "Chao Qin and Dusk Chu" who are playing games on the club computer with great interest.
"Okay, no, I've been killed several times around this corner!No, I'll go another way~~"
"Noisy hair! this revenge is not revenge, it is not a gentleman~~" Qin Zhao, who was holding the mouse, sounded unconvinced, "I must kill that kid once in this position...... Wow!"
"Hurry!!Right Right!!"
As soon as Qin Zhao was halfway through his words, he saw the other party slamming out from the right side of the screen. After a few seconds of fighting, the hurried hum and the second general lost again without suspense.
"Ahhh
"It's too late, uh, you can do it!!"
"Damn, I can be blamed for this!!If you hadn't blocked my view......"
"Hey, hey~~Someone is doing their homework here~~" Ye Jing finally couldn't bear the two of them who were getting louder and louder, "Please, you two beat one of them, and you were beaten so loudly, and you were embarrassed to shout so loudly?"
"Oh, the little girl's wings are stiff, and she actually educates her seniors?" Qin Zhao dug his nostrils and twisted his waist in the posture of Ye Jing walking on the stage that day, "Oh yes~~I'm an idol~~Ouye~~ Do you want to sign an autograph?"
Ye Jing, who was hollowed out of shame by the performance that day, was naturally angry about that appearance, and without saying a word, she quickly grabbed the thickest book from the table, and threw it at Qin Zhao.
"Ouch~~" Qin Zhao took advantage of the situation to catch the textbook thrown by Ye Jing, with an exaggerated expression, and shouted around the conference table in the center of the activity room: "Idols are beating people~~ Idols are beating people~~"
"Don't run if you have the ability!" Ye Jing pounced forward, but his hands were too short to reach Qin Zhao, who was dancing with his forehand on the opposite side, but he lay on the table like a turtle, "Give me back the book~~"
"Hahaha, if you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back, you won't ...... Huh?" Qin Zhao, who still wanted to tease Ye Jing, was startled by the slamming of the door behind him, only to see Li Ming rubbing his fists and striding towards him, so startled that he subconsciously bent down, "Poof......! Brother Ming is so ......"
I saw Li Mingfeng passing by him lightly, and went straight to Ye Jing, who was still lying on the table.
"What are you doing? Hurry up, here are the customers!"
"Huh?" Ye Jing stroked her messy bangs, and she didn't react for a while. "What customer?"
"Idol business! A client has come to the door!" Li Ming glanced at the big ponytail on the back of Ye Jing's head, and couldn't help frowning bitterly, "Please, you have a little idol consciousness, pay attention to your image, you are the core of the club!"
"Hmm......" Ye Jing sighed, and looked at Qin Zhao, who seemed to be relieved, "Hey~~ Give me back the book first~~"
"Hey, call me by name, I'm your senior......
"What kind of plane are you doing, such a big man still robs other people's little girls' textbooks?How old do you think you are~~" Li Ming rudely interrupted the angry Qin Zhao, "Hurry up and return the books to others, there is still business to do!"
"Hi Hi ~ ~ Got it~~" Qin Zhao admitted that he was deflated, he understood that once the workaholic mode was activated, Li Ming didn't have much patience.
"Hey...... Ouch~~" Ye Jing took the book and shook it, just wanted to tease Qin Zhao, but was pulled aside by Li Ming without saying anything, took off the hair rope, and tried to spread her hair with his hand.
"Dry ...... What are you doing?" Ye Jing, who felt that her hair was being rubbed messily, naturally waved her arms dissatisfiedly and tried to push Li Ming away.
I saw that Li Ming also shook his arms and compared with Ye Jing as if he was playing Tai Chi, waiting for an opportunity to find a gap in Ye Jing's defense, and when he caught it, he went up and played with her hair.
"Image, image, your braids are so tight, how do you exude hormones?
"Oops~~ I'll ......" Ye Jing, whose arms were not as long as Li Ming's and who was shorter than him, finally fell behind, and just wanted to avoid Li Ming's claws, only to hear a strange voice from the door.
"Excuse me, this is the Talented and Beautiful Idol Club, right?"
"That's right!!" Li Ming suddenly stood up straight, and took advantage of Ye Jing's unpreparedness to push her in front of the visitor.
"Uh...... Happy...... Welcome ......" Ye Jing staggered to the customer, lifted the bangs in front of him, and looked at the visitor, who was a boy with a middle part, glasses, a belly, and a stocky body. "You...... Hello ......"
"Oh~~" The boy immediately stretched out his arms enthusiastically and shook hands with Ye Jing, "You are Xiao Jing, right?
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Ye Jing couldn't help but glance at Li Ming a few times, obviously asking him for help.
Li Ming sighed, came to the boy's side, raised his arm around his shoulder, and with a little effort, he invited him into the activity room very kindly: "Don't stand at the door, talk about the details, talk about it inside~~"
After the guests and hosts sat down around the conference table, Little Durian brought coffee to the people present.
"Uh, what about mine, why am I the only one who doesn't?" Qin Zhao, who was empty in front of him, said to Liu Lian.
"Huhu...... Save money~~You forget it~~" Liu Lian smiled and picked up the small spoon to adjust her cup of coffee, and took a small sip with a satisfied face, "Praise~~~"
"Damn, I'm your senior~ I'm ......"
"Ahem...... Li Ming deliberately coughed to suppress Qin Zhao's complaints, and said to the guest with a smile, "Then, let's talk about business." ”
"Oh, that's right...... I'm the president of the Xiami Animation Club......" The boy scratched the corners of his mouth and pointed to his stomach, "Generally, everyone calls me Big Fat." ”
"Poof...... Ouch......" Ye Jing, who had just laughed, was kicked by Li Ming under the table.
"Our club is preparing to launch a masterpiece recently......" The big fat man sitting opposite Ye Jing subconsciously pulled his collar and smiled at Ye Jing, "That...... We all agree that the image of your company's Xiaojing matches our comic style very well. So I want you to help spread the word anyway......"
Li Ming snorted, although he didn't have a good impression of this client who had never left Ye Jing since he entered the door, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this guy was more for his offer several times lower than that of Little Red Riding Hood. But in any case, this is also the first business to open the door! As the saying goes, if you don't accumulate steps, how can you reach thousands of miles.
So Li Ming twisted his neck and asked, "That's ...... Do you have a specific plan?"
"About this ......" Da Fat still stared at Ye Jing, as if confirming something: "Because I don't know if you know, I'll explain first, where there is a comic section in the publications issued in the school, they are generally provided by an animation club like ours, and then decide whether to continue serializing the work according to the praise and sales of readers." ”
"Hmm...... I know this......" Qin Zhao took over the conversation and deliberately leaned forward, hindering Da Fat's gaze staring at Xiao Jing, "With the start of school, many publications will take advantage of the situation to launch a lot of new works to test the waters, for the animation club, this is the golden period to determine the evaluation of the club." ”
"That's right, there will be a vote for new serials at the regular tasting meeting next week, so you need to make a name for yourself before that happens. ”
Ye Jing, who has visited many clubs with her cousin, can't help but have some questions: "But since it's a new serial, no one should have seen the content, right?"
"During this time, there will naturally be a ...... of trial readings" Da Fat took off his glasses and sighed at the lenses, and wiped the corners of his clothes, "But to be honest, the main outcome is whether the victory or defeat can capture the hearts of fans at the tasting meeting......"
"COSPLAY?" Li Ming rubbed his temples, "Entrust idols to dress up as characters in the comics, the more beautiful and cute ones are naturally easy to attract more attention, so they start paying attention to this comic......"
"That's right......" Da Fat snapped his fingers, in order to see Ye Jing, his body unconsciously began to tilt to the right, "If our comics can be hired, we will definitely give your company an additional bonus in addition to the agreed fee~~"
"Then thanks to your generosity~~" Chu Mu on the other side bowed forward, and the angle was just right to block Ye Jing.
Li Ming, who couldn't help but feel funny, waved his hand and decided to bring today's discussion to an end: "Anyway, let's arrange for us to meet the author first." As for the direction of publicity, I still want the author himself to provide some references, and in addition, we hope to take a look at this manga first......"
"It should be...... "Da Fat agreed: "Why don't you come to my club tomorrow to get it, and by the way, you can get to know everyone in the club." ”
"Okay, then let's talk about the details tomorrow, don't leave it at that?" Li Ming said and stood up, his strong and well-proportioned body exerting pressure on the tall, short, fat and thin people at the table here.
"Oh, it's easy to say...... big fat stood up involuntarily, and while looking at Ye Jing, he slowly retreated to the door, "Then we'll see you tomorrow~~"
"It's so strong~~" After the big fat left, Ye Jing couldn't help but shout excitedly, "It really feels like talking about business!
"Hehe......" Li Ming was already accustomed to Ye Jing's almost harassing gaze towards the big fat throughout the whole process, "It seems that you are quite popular with this kind of person......"
Ye Jing naturally didn't hear the deep meaning of Li Ming's words, but recommended herself quite proudly: "I HAVE EXPERIENCE IN COSPLAY OR SOMETHING, AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ...... OR THERE."
"Is the key question still on Little Red Riding Cycle?" Liu Lian said, "If that Ling'er is also there, this single job will be basically hopeless." ”
"Oh, then don't worry...... Li Ming smiled, "Little Red Riding Hood's main project is not in the second dimension, at least it won't be an absolute workforce like Ling'er." In this way, in a sense, the animation competition may be the best battlefield for us to launch our brand. ”
