048 Last Day Downward Change
Meng Qi's parents were originally well-known mountaineers in Rongcheng and even in China, and Du Jun had several encounters with his father, so it was not surprising to say such things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Meng Qi didn't know about Du Jun's relationship with his father, he still misses his father very much.
When Meng Qi was very young, his parents spent most of their time traveling around the world, busy conquering the mountains, and rarely spent time with their two brothers.
And he and his brother Meng Yan have been living with their grandparents until the two old people died of illness one after another, and they spent more time at home.
But that didn't stop Meng Qi's parents, who were still away from home for a while each year, running out to participate in mountaineering until Meng Qi was seven years old, and they were forever left on the peaks.
It can be said that in Meng Qi's childhood, his memory of his father was very limited, but he never hated him.
Because the man who stood up to the sky taught him a truth with practical actions.
As a man, you should keep climbing up for your dreams.
Anyway, in a sense, the Zhao Yun figure given to him by Meng Qi's father carries a lot of friendship between their father and son.
Therefore, after Du Jun and Du Ziming left, after he took control of Letoy Toys, he suddenly had a strong longing for his father, which in turn turned into an unstoppable homesickness.
After a long sigh, Meng Qi took out his mobile phone and made a call to his Meng Yan.
In fact, the two brothers are very stubborn, and after the last quarrel, neither of them has spoken on the phone again, and there is basically no contact on the Internet.
Now, taking advantage of the coming of the new year and his own emotions, Meng Qi still dialed the call.
But it was a woman who answered the phone.
"Huh?! Is it Xiaoqi? The woman's voice was a little excited.
"Ah, Happy New Year, Sister Xue!"
Meng Qi immediately heard that this was the voice of Meng Yan's girlfriend Chen Xue.
Chen Xue is Meng Yan's girlfriend who has been dating since her freshman year, and the two have been together for more than ten years, but because of the special situation of the Meng family, especially with Meng Qi to take care of, the two have been dragging on and not getting married.
Now that Chen Xue and Meng Yan are already in their old age, and Meng Yan herself has no money, her parents have been giving a lot of pressure, but this woman just recognizes Meng Yan without talking about her reputation and never giving up.
In today's money-oriented society, such a woman is already an incomparably rare animal.
The most important thing is that Meng Qi can be said to have been raised by Meng Yan and Chen Xue, so Meng Qi has special respect for his sister-in-law, and even regards her as his own sister, and is usually called "Sister Xue".
Chen Xue laughed and said, "Xiao Qi didn't call me for so long after going abroad......
"I'm usually too busy...... I must bring a gift to Sister Xue when I come back from vacation, and make up for it......" Meng Qi was ashamed to say this, he was usually busy creating comics, and he ignored these precious feelings.
"Come on, keep your money and don't spend it indiscriminately...... It still costs a lot of money to go abroad......" When Chen Xue heard that Meng Qi wanted to buy her a gift, her first reaction was to be happy, and then of course she refused.
Meng Qi remembered that when Chen Xue had just graduated from university, he had just entered junior high school, and in order to take care of himself, he resolutely gave up the opportunity to study abroad, gave up his position in several big banks, and stayed in Rongcheng to open a small bookstore.
Since then, in her best decade, this woman has followed an honest civil servant who can't afford a car or a house, and dragged a minor younger brother, has she really enjoyed her youth and life?
Meng Qi only knew that his sister Xue even had to be careful about buying a woman's most intimate underwear......
Meng Qi was a little sad, and at the same time secretly swore in his heart that he must let Chen Xue live the best life in the future.
But at this time, he just endured the sourness that came to him and responded, "Hmm. ”
"Good ......" In Chen Xue's eyes, Meng Qi seemed to be a child forever, and after a pause, Chen Xue continued, "Listen to the stone, you quarreled again last time?" ”
The word "Yan" in Meng Yan's name sounds like a rock of rocks, but in Chen Xue's place, it directly became the nickname of "stone".
"That's right, my brother is talking about mountaineering again......" In front of Chen Xue, Meng Qi was a little free to express his dissatisfaction.
"Haha, your brother is also for your good......" Chen Xue laughed again, "However, I still support your dream, boys, you should do what you like...... When you were a child, you always said that you would be a cartoonist in the future, Sister Xue, I will definitely support you, but secretly, haha......"
Suddenly saying this question, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Meng Qi's mind.
"Sister Xue, is my brother with you?" Meng Qi asked cautiously.
"No, he's cooking, and he's finally on vacation, and he doesn't work overtime...... It's time for him to serve me......"
"Last time I heard that Sister Xue had a good relationship with the local publishing house in Rongcheng?" Meng Qi asked again.
"Yes, what's the matter, Xiaoqi, what are you going to say? Don't beat around the bush for ......"
Chen Xue replied with some dissatisfaction.
"Uh...... I'll tell you something, don't tell my brother yet......"
"What's so mysterious...... Chen Xue said, "Don't worry, I'm the best at keeping secrets...... Do you remember when you were in high school, you played with your brother's computer and deleted all his manuscripts? Your brother doesn't even know what you did now......"
Chen Xue talked about the interesting things before, which made Meng Qi feel warm.
"My comics were published ......"
After being silent for a long time, Meng Qi finally spoke.
"What?!"
Chen Xue's voice raised several heights.
"What's wrong?" Meng Qi heard Meng Yan's voice on the other side of the phone.
Then Chen Xue tried her best to hide her voice: "It's nothing, I'm talking to my girlfriend on the phone." ”
"Why don't you tell your brother about such a big thing?!"
After a while, Chen Xue's low voice rang on the phone, with some blame in her voice.
"I can't estimate his reaction......" Meng Qi was also a little helpless.
"So you're going to start with me and save the country?" Chen Xue is not stupid, and quickly understood.
"Yes, my comics are selling well in the U.S. Commonwealth...... I wonder if you have a good relationship with the publisher, can you set up an agency to act as an agent for the ......distribution of the Chinese edition?"
Meng Qi said his plan.
As Meng Qi said, he didn't expect to change Meng Yan's mind all at once, and he was ready to start with the closest people around his brother to achieve his goals.
What's more, this person will still support his own people.
"Of course...... But what kind of comics are you drawing......" Chen Xue asked curiously.
"You'll find out when you go search for Frank Miller later, this is the pen name I use to draw comics here......" Seeing Chen Xue agree, Meng Qi's mood also improved, "But Sister Xue, don't you really want a gift?" The money I made this time, how to say, whatever you want, you can buy it......"
"I want a villa by the White Lake, will you buy it for me too?" Chen Xue snorted softly.
"A villa by the White Lake?" Meng Qi laughed, "Then we decided so happily ......"
"Xiaoqi, you don't brag less......"
"Who brags to you, even if I don't buy it for you, your agency will be able to earn you a villa very quickly......"
"Go, go, go...... Don't say anything about villas or villas, you, do your thing! ”
"Got it!" Meng Qi didn't dwell too much on this issue, but returned to the original purpose of his call, "Sister Xue, is my Zhao Yun's figure still there?" ”
…………
…………
"Sister Xue, it's time to eat!"
When Meng Yan's voice sounded in the living room, Chen Xue recovered from her sluggishness.
After she and Meng Qi ended the call, she took the time to turn on the phone and search for the name Frank Miller on the Internet.
She was shocked by the results of her search.
The little boy who grew up watching himself now become the hottest cartoonist in the United States?
Or the kind of cartoonist who pioneered some superhero genre? Founded AC Comics?
He also sold more than 7 million copies of his comics?
And there is also a title of "father of superheroes"?
Chen Xue doesn't like to read comics very much, but she also knows how powerful a person must be to get such praise as the father of so-and-so.
She slowly stood up and walked towards the living room, suddenly feeling extremely happy.
Not for the gifts he might get, nor for the money that Meng Qi earned, but that little boy had finally grown up, and finally taken such an important and determined step on the path he adhered to.
Chen Xue was so happy with Meng Qi's success that she shed tears of joy.
"Why are you crying......"
Meng Yan looked at her with some concern.
So she burst into tears and laughed again.
"Because the new year has arrived...... Stone ......"
…………
…………
Yes, it's a new year......
Meng Qi sighed softly.
2007 has passed and I miss it a lot.
