Chapter 163: The Newcomer
"Teacher Qingbai, I toast you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Finally got rid of the girl named Cheng Luan, Wang Ming encountered the second problem, after the editor-in-chief's family spoke and ate, all the editors seemed to have made an appointment, and one by one their eyes shifted to him and toasted him frequently.
"This ...... You also know that I pour wine when I dip it, so I want to use juice instead, right?"
Wang Ming looked a little embarrassed with a glass of apple juice. This is how he coped when everyone raised their glasses together, although everyone didn't say anything, but he still consciously drank a full glass, so that he wouldn't get drunk, but there was still a hidden danger - belly swelling.
After a round, Wang Mingshao said that he also drank more than a dozen glasses of apple juice, and his stomach was already swollen.
"How's the juice?"
"That's right, manly man, what's wrong with a little wine?"
"That's right, when I was 5 years old, my grandfather dipped me in wine with chopsticks...... I tell you, practice more to make progress, otherwise you will only have to drink so much in the future. ”
The wine culture inheritance of the people of Longguo is better than the world in Wang Ming's memory, but this is on the dinner table, and the custom of persuading wine before the dishes are served still exists. As long as you are on the table, no matter whether you are familiar or unfamiliar, you can eat three cups and ensure that the two of you are brothers and sisters with their shoulders on their backs, and in this lively atmosphere, you will disappoint everyone if you don't drink.
Wang Ming sighed, it seems that he is going to lie down and go back today.
"That ......" However, just as he was about to agree, a figure with braided braids squeezed in, and Cheng Luan, who was originally eating at another table, came to Wang Ming's side, and she smiled at everyone: "Okay, the most taboo thing for cartoonists is to drink, and if you drink too much, your hands will tremble." So don't bully Teacher Qingbai, I drank this wine for him......"
Just as everyone looked at each other, she had already put down a glass of beer that Wang Ming had just put down, and she didn't even blush or panting.
When the people who were paralyzed by alcohol saw such a bold female man, they applauded and shouted, "Okay!
This glass of wine instantly warmed up the atmosphere of the whole banquet, and the editors were also excited.
"Okay, it's really generous. ”
"One cup of belly is not red, it seems that the amount of wine is really good, ten cups of belly is not panting, at a glance, it can still be dry! Come, let's continue to drink!"
"Go on!"
With Cheng Luan's words, the scene changed suddenly, the target of the toast shifted to her, and the amount of alcohol on the other party also made Wang Ming dumbfounded.
Wang Ming sometimes feels that the Chinese people are really a little strange, they persuade wine at the table, they don't care whether the wine is drunk by themselves or by others, they want to respect, if this is human warmth, but Wang Ming feels that this is not, but a simple wine culture atmosphere, and it can even be said that they just want to drink.
Anyway, Wang Ming escaped the tragic fate of fainting tonight, and Cheng Luan drank two or three bottles, and he didn't seem to have changed much, he was a heroine among women. He didn't worry about the other party's alcohol consumption now, and the embarrassed expression on his face just felt embarrassed to find a girl to drink instead, after all, he still had a little machismo in his heart.
Fortunately, the people in the editorial department were measured, and after two laps, they finally stopped coaxing around Wang Ming and began to find someone to catch and fight.
When it was lively next to him, Wang Ming chatted with Liu Chengfeng, who was sitting next to him: "I said editor-in-chief, can you take care of your subordinates, they are so coaxing, so enthusiastic, my small body can't bear it, and it's not good to respect a girl in such a shift, isn't it?"
"It's okay, it's only been two laps. Liu Chengfeng smiled, looked up at the people who were toasting around, and whispered: "They are grateful to you in their hearts, it was you who made them regain their confidence, if "Death" had not been sealed, the work they celebrated here would have been this one, but now it is not bad, "One Punch Man" is very good." ”
The style of "One Punch Man" is different from all the bloody works on the market, it is in a class of its own. Recently, there are many manuscripts with this style in the magazine's submissions, as long as the editors think they are good, they will bring them to Wang Ming to see, but most of these manuscripts only imitate the appearance, although they are all invincible, but the daily life in these works is not funny enough, making the plot a little thin.
For manuscripts like this with frequent loopholes, Wang Ming has already killed seven copies.
"Is that so?"
"Not only that, but these editors have taken a fancy to your assistant's position, after all, you are the only cartoonist in the comics industry who is willing to give your assistant a share of the book. Liu Chengfeng took a sip of the tea in the cup and continued: "The editor's salary is closely related to the people under him, just like you and Xiaoyuan, as a new editor, her salary should be the lowest, but in fact, her salary is the highest in the entire editorial department. ”
In this way, Wang Ming all understood, presumably Xiaoyuan She didn't pay attention to what she said, and said the benefits of being his comic assistant, plus his first assistant Yue Qianming is now busy with animation dubbing and concerts, and they can't get out of it in a short time, they feel that a comic needs two assistants, and the Qingbai teacher who has only one person under his hand will inevitably sign the comic assistant, they are pulling the relationship in advance, otherwise these editors will not be so active.
It stands to reason that it is not worth it for editors to put down their bodies in front of cartoonists, but as long as they put down their figures, they can get more income, and they can simply say two good words, and they can exchange it for higher income, isn't it better?
A few meters away, Liu Xuefan sat with her classmates.
She looked at her good friend standing beside Wang Ming to block the wine for him, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and complained: "The noisy guests take the lead." ”
Of course Liu Xuefan won't say that she is a good friend, she just looks at Wang Ming unhappy, since you can't drink it, you can refuse it happily, and you don't look like a man at all.
In this way, Liu Xuefan always paid attention to Wang Ming's table, and at the same time took care of the classmates at this table, and she couldn't find anyone to talk to when she was irritable, and this irritable mood made her hate Wang Ming even more.
After more than ten minutes, Cheng Luan hiccuped and walked back with a red face.
"How much did you drink?"
Liu Xuefan hurriedly got up and pulled away the chair next to her, helped Cheng Luan to the chair and asked worriedly.
"Not much ......" Cheng Luan showed a big smile, she looked in good shape, Liu Xuefan was relieved.
Everyone finished the meal together, several young people were going to go to KTV to sing, Wang Ming still had something to do and was not ready to participate, Cheng Luan saw that Teacher Qingbai was not going, and she finally decided not to go.
After sending everyone away, only Wang Ming, Liu Chengfeng and Cheng Luan were left at the door of the hotel.
Wang Ming got into the unknown SUV and sat in the co-pilot, Cheng Luan sat alone in the back, Liu Chengfeng started the car with a smile, ready to send Cheng Luan home first.
The girl in the back seat looked quiet, completely different from when she first learned Wang Ming's identity. Wang Ming was a little interested in her, and with the courage and refreshment to help block the wine at night, Wang Ming decided to give him a chance-
If she can sign a contract with the editorial department, the next assistant of "One Punch Man" will be you.
