"Chess Soul" is gaining momentum, not only in the popularity of "ComicFuture", but also in the ranking of "Shonen Leap", which has also risen from the 7th place in the 36th episode to the 6th place in the 37th episode.

The five comics in front of "Chess Soul" also felt the pressure from "Chess Soul".

Toru Murakami took the small book in his hand, rubbed his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Although "Chess Soul" has only just started to be serialized in "Young Leap", the results are not bad, and the direction of the story is relatively normal.

He now has to start thinking about whether to find an animation production company for "Chess Soul".

Shen Xin, who was far away in China, finally had time to rest after handing over the original manuscripts of episodes 38 and 39 to Wang Wenhong.

With the New Year just around the corner, many people are going home to reunite with their loved ones, including those working in the comics industry.

After saying goodbye to Shen Xin, the three assistants also left the studio, and they will also have a 10-day vacation next.

After Xi Muhan finished the final exam, he also came to Hongchuan.

She doesn't have any relatives in Yunhai, since Shen Xin is in Hongchuan, she will definitely come over and accompany Shen Xin for the New Year.

Made a sumptuous dinner and it turned out to be only two people.

In the past two years, they have spent the New Year with Ji Yinxuan, so they don't feel lonely. But now, they feel an indescribable coldness.

The two men looked at each other, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Why don't you call someone over?" Shen Xin proposed.

Xi Muhan didn't say anything, she felt that it didn't matter, it was just that the two of them celebrated the New Year together...... It's a bit weird indeed.

Usually it's not obvious, but when the Spring Festival is approaching, other people's families are reunited, and the two of them feel a little alone.

Shen Xin picked up the phone and thought about who to contact.

Yan Fei has already returned to her hometown, and it is definitely not appropriate to call her. Moreover, even if you call her over, you have to take into account the gossip of the editorial department of "MangaFly", after all, the two people are not in the same magazine, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings when they meet in private.

Shen Xin didn't want to trouble Yan Fei anymore.

So, Shen Xin called Wang Wenhong.

Wang Wenhong has been busy for more than half a year for "Chess Soul", and he should be called out for a meal.

The phone was connected, Wang Wenhong immediately responded, and then said that the editor-in-chief was also coming.

Shang Haozhi?

Shen Xin scratched his head, and suddenly there was an editor-in-chief, would it be inconvenient to speak?

However, since Shang Haozhi said so, he had no way to refuse, so he could only say "come over as soon as possible".

"What's wrong?"

Xi Muhan put a plate of sweet and sour tenderloin on the dining table and looked at Shen Xin puzzled.

"Nothing. Wait a while, Brother Wang and Monk will always come over. ”

"Really? That...... I put the food in first? ”

"Don't you? It should be soon. Anyway, there are more cold dishes, so at most heat up the fish soup a little. Shen Xin stretched, pulled over a chair, took out "ComicFuture" and flipped through two pages casually.

Xi Muhan sat quietly beside Shen Xin, "In previous years, I spent it with Sister Xuan, but this year, she is probably very busy, right?" ”

"Huh? I heard a little bit about my senior sister, Yang Bo told me. The senior sister's father wants her to return to Zhenyu Technology, but didn't the senior sister come out and do it alone? Therefore, I was reluctant to put forward two conditions. First, she returned to the company only as the project leader; Second, all of the people who worked alone with her had to enter Yuzhen Technology. ”

"The result?"

Xi Muhan likes to listen to these "stories".

"The result?" Shen Xin closed the book with a helpless expression, "It's all passed." ”

"Huh? How so? Senior sister is too stubborn, right? ”

"It can't be helped, after all, that group of people came out with her, she is responsible for these people, and she doesn't want to be bound." Shen Xin raised his head and said.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"It's literal. If she enters Yuzhen, she will definitely be restrained when she does things, so she will want to go it alone, right? I guess I'm having trouble with my family now? Shen Xin tilted his head and stretched.

"Since it's a family, I don't think there's any need to make too much trouble, after all, I don't know when, the accident happened." Xi Muhan pouted.

"Alas, but it's someone else's business, and we can't intervene." Shen Xin knew that Xi Muhan remembered his parents again, but it was difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, not to mention that he was not a Qing official.

Xi Muhan was depressed, and after sitting quietly for four or five minutes, he got up and went to a bedroom on the first floor.

Shen Xin didn't know why, so he lowered his head and looked at "ComicFuture", and then, Xi Muhan's voice came from the bedroom, which should be talking to Ji Yinxuan.

As soon as Shen Xin finished reading "The Legend of the Dragon King", Xi Muhan came out of the room, and his spirit eased a lot.

"How was it, did you talk to your senior sister?" Shen Xin asked.

"Hmm."

"How?"

"I persuaded her, and she was also going to have a good chat with her father during the New Year." Xi Muhan said.

"So fast?" Shen Xin was a little surprised.

He just watched "The Legend of the Dragon King", mainly to analyze the storyboard and story structure, which is about ten minutes. So it seems...... Xi Muhan's speed of persuasion is still too fast.

"This is called 'knowing with affection, moving with reason', I showed up to say, of course Sister Xuan has to focus on it. Besides, it's not like you don't know, I'm home, and it's not easy to make up stories. Xi Muhan looked proud.

Is that okay?

The corners of Shen Xin's mouth twitched, he was also an online writer before, why didn't he think he could speak well?

Seeing Shen Xin's questioning gaze, Xi Muhan immediately surrendered, her cheeks flushed slightly, "It's just that I called her and told her how she felt, and she directly said that she would have a good talk with her father." You say, is this my fault? ”

"Yes." Shen Xin touched Xi Muhan's head lightly, "By the way, I mentioned it just now...... Your single line should have sold a lot, right? ”

"You don't even know any of this, and you don't care about me at all." Xi Muhan pursed his lips and changed his face instantly.

Shen Xin laughed dryly, some things are not that he doesn't want to care, but he really doesn't have that energy.

"From October to now, 500,000 copies have been sold." Xi Muhan pouted.

"500,000 copies?" Shen Xin was taken aback.

Xi Muhan is just a pure newcomer, and he has only serialized a few issues in the magazine, and after publishing a single book, he sold 500,000 copies.

Although it is true that it does not sell as many as comics, the readership audience is different, and the sales are already weaker than comics. Moreover, Xi Muhan will definitely not be able to get the resources of the signature author.

This girl may really have a talent for writing.

"Didn't sign books or attend other events?"

"Nope. The editor in charge didn't mention it at all, just let me learn. Xi Muhan shook his head.

"So good?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

She said that the safety of girls is more important than making money. In this industry, although most people are not bad, they are afraid that some people have ill intentions and cannot prevent it. In short, she only wants me to provide the manuscript and other things, and she doesn't want me to be involved. Xi Muhan explained.

"Huh? Your editing is pretty good. ”

"Well, a very reliable big sister." Xi Muhan nodded again and again.

It seems that good editors have not only encountered themselves.

Shen Xin thought to himself.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Xi Muhan immediately got up and opened the door, and Wang Wenhong and Shang Haozhi stood outside the door carrying fruits and wine.
