When Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong arrived at the Junhao Hotel, the sky had completely darkened.

Vehicles lined up to drive to the door of the hotel, the speed was very slow, it took about half a minute to form 20 meters.

When Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong came out of the car, they lined up for nearly five minutes.

The waiters on both sides saw Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong coming in, bowed slightly, and said, "Welcome." ”

Wang Wenhong gave a thumbs up to these waiters, "Do a good job." ”

When many waiters saw Wang Wenhong, they wrinkled their noses and looked disgusted.

Shen Xin coughed dryly twice and covered up his laughter.

Needless to say, these people once "struggled" with Wang Wenhong, and now they are revisiting their hometowns, and Wang Wenhong made a little joke.

Entering the hotel lobby, someone specially led me to the 22nd floor, taking the elevator.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, Shen Xin immediately felt the difference on both sides of the corridor, there were posters of various comics, the Legend of the Dragon King was the fist product of icfuture, with the most posters, and the killer diary won the best comic award, and it was the protagonist of tonight, so there were a lot of promotional posters, and then there were hunting abysses and chess souls.

In the hall at the end of the corridor, many people came in and out, and after Wang Wenhong brought Shen Xin into the hall, he went to find other editors.

Shen Xin looked left and right, there were a lot of people, but few people knew him.

In fact, Shen Xin has been serialized on icfuture for more than half a year, but the cartoonists who have talked to him are Ye Hexu and Han Ye, and Han Ye is too introverted, and Shen Xin and him don't have much intersection.

As for Wang Yunze, he only met twice at most.

At this time, the waiter came over with a plate full of drinks.

Shen Xin took a general look, whiskey, brandy, red wine, and white wine were basically mainstream drinks, and he hadn't drunk much alcohol, so he took a glass of juice.

"Is it the first time you have come to this kind of occasion?" suddenly came from behind Shen Xin.

He turned around, only to find that it was a young man he had never seen before, wearing a purple suit, his hair delicately combed to the sides, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled with a hint of evil spirit.

Compared with it, Shen Xin's dress is really cold, the down jacket was taken away by Wang Wenhong just now, and he is only wearing a black shirt on his upper body, with jeans and board shoes underneath.

Well, overall, it really doesn't match this occasion.

However, he didn't need to speak, and he was not the only one in the whole hall who was dressed like this, so it was not a big problem.

"Well, for the first time, indeed." Shen Xin blinked, completely unaware of the young man in front of him.

"It's a rare opportunity for us. However, you don't pay attention to your own outfit, and you can get along with the editor by dressing up a little. If you can make a good impression on the editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief, then there is a high possibility of serialization in the future. This is my experience and it is definitely useful. The young man gave a thumbs up.

"Ah" Shen Xin looked at the person in front of him who was talking eloquently, a little confused.

The other party also looked kind, and Shen Xin could only follow the young man's words and say "thank you".

"You shouldn't be too old."

"Just 20."

Shen Xin took a sip of juice and swept his eyes around, wanting to find someone to come over and end this awkward conversation, but after looking around, he didn't find anyone he knew.

"That's fine. I heard that this year, the magazine society is vigorously discovering new talents, and as long as we have the ability, we may become popular. ”

"yes, I don't know yet."

Shen Xin really didn't know about this, he had been busy with chess souls in normal times, and Wang Wenhong didn't want to bother him with these inconsequential trivial matters.

"No, brother, your teacher can't tell you such an important thing. Which teacher are you following?" asked the young man curiously.

"Uh, Mr. Wang," Shen Xin wasn't sure.

Is Wang Wenhong counted?

"Teacher Wang Yunze" The young man looked at Shen Xin in surprise.

"Of course not, I've only met him twice." Shen Xin told the truth.

"Huh" The young man's expression eased and breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway, this competition is very important to us, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Li Jie, and I won the Excellence Award in the short comic contest held by icfuture not long ago, so I have the opportunity to come to the annual meeting." ”

Excellence Award: What kind of award is that

Shen Xin finished drinking the juice and put the empty cup on the tray when the waiter passed by.

"My name is Shen Xin, I'm painting cough cough now" Shen Xin really felt that he was talking awkwardly, and the enthusiasm of the young man made him a little unwilling to hit the other party's confidence.

Can anyone "save" him?

Shen Xin's eyes looked around, and after Ye Hexu finished talking to several middle-aged people, he walked out of the crowd, just looked at him, and greeted him with a smile.

call

Finally saved.

As soon as Shen Xin raised his hand in response, Li Jie patted him on the shoulder.

"That's Mr. Ye, the review teacher of the short comics not long ago, let's go, I'll take you to meet him."

No, although I don't know many cartoonists, Ye Hexu is still one.

Shen Xin looked at Li Jie, who hurriedly walked towards Ye Hexu, quite helpless, this guy is really a living treasure,

Sighing, Shen Xin could only follow Li Jie towards Ye Hexu.

"Hello Mr. Ye."

After saying hello, Li Jie enthusiastically stretched out his right hand.

Ye Hexu raised his head and looked at Li Jie slightly embarrassed, "Who are you?"

"Eh" Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face was a little stiff, "Teacher, my name is Li Jie, and I am the author of the love painting not long ago. ”

Ye Hexu clasped his hands to his chest, pondered for a long time, and then raised his head to look at Li Jie, "I remember that I seem to have killed this short story." ”

"No, Mr. Ye, I won the Excellence Award." Li Jie hurriedly explained.

"That is, after I was killed, the editorial department fished up this comic again." Ye Hexu didn't plan to give the other party a face.

Li Jie opened his mouth, his brain blank.

Shen Xin was a little sympathetic to Li Jie, if he was said like this, he would probably find a quiet corner to stay overnight.

"Ahem, Mr. Ye, it's possible that you forgot." Shen Xin winked at Ye Hexu, others are also newcomers, don't blow his confidence.

"Ahh ”

"Uh, you're a little smart." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Of course, my eyes allow me to observe all the details of the comics." Ye Hexu stretched out his scissor hand and pointed at his eyes.

Li Jie looked at the two people in surprise, "Teacher Ye, do you know him and wait for the chess soul"

Li Jie remembered this comic.

"Don't you know him, the author of Chess Soul and Y039s, who just won the Best Newcomer Award at the Comics Festival last year, Mr. Shen, are you too low-key" Ye Hexu asked Shen Xin rhetorically.

"Is it" Shen Xin was a little helpless.

He is not a star who eats by his face, what is he doing in such a high-profile manner
