Chapter 155: A Chance Encounter

"Teacher Shen, are you here so late?" Ye Hexu said with a smile.

"Well, the sea of clouds is still some distance away from Hongchuan, and it took some time on the road." Shen Xin explained, looking behind Ye Hexu, a young woman with short ear-length hair looked at him expressionlessly.

The woman's eyes were focused, and Shen Xin's eyes were square.

"You're Teacher Shen, right?"

"That's right, may I ask you ......?"

"Jian Xiaomei, Ye Hexu's editor-in-charge." Jian Xiaomei stretched out her right hand.

Jian Xiaomei's height should be less than one meter seven, even so, she is still half a head taller than Ye Hexu, and this is still on the premise that she is not wearing high heels.

"Hello."

After Shen Xin and Jian Xiaomei shook hands, their gaze returned to Ye Hexu's body again.

"Teacher Ye just came?"

"I arrived yesterday, but I live in Hongchuan, even if I go to the live broadcast directly on the day of the awards, it is no problem at all." Ye Hexu touched his nose with a smug expression.

Shen Xin's eyebrows raised, Ye Hexu at this time was no different from an ordinary boy.

"Ahem, Teacher Ye, Teacher Shen may have to put his luggage, let's not disturb him." Jian Xiaomei said.

"Oh, I forgot. Mr. Shen, if you need to wait a while, you can go to the restaurant on the 26th floor, where there will be a lot of cartoonists in recent days. Ye Hexu reminded.

"26 floors? Restaurant? ”

Among the cartoonists in Yun Overseas, Shen Xin knows very few.

In fact, even in the sea of clouds, he only knows Chen Zijiao and Zhou Yang. Therefore, who can meet in the restaurant also makes Shen Xin look forward to it.

After saying goodbye to Ye Hexu and Jian Xiaomei, Shen Xin came to his room, put away his luggage, washed his face, and picked up the letterhead handed to him by the staff again.

There are many things mentioned above, but most of them are related to live streaming.

For example, on the day of the live broadcast, the organizer should arrange the hairstyle and dress appropriately and appropriately; It is best for the selected cartoonists to prepare a speech in case they need it, and then it is time for the rehearsal of the show and the time of assembly.

The rehearsal here does not mean that the award-winning cartoonists will go on stage to read their speeches, but that the organizers will invite some voice actors and dancers to perform the show, and the awards will only be interspersed.

Shen Xin took a general look at it and knew the general process.

In fact, there is not much content related to cartoonists, that is, on the last day, the makeup artist arranges the image to make the cartoonist more confident in front of the camera. In addition, it is the order of each program, so as not to go on stage early or late.

As for the thank-you speech, it is basically written in advance by the editor or the cartoonist himself, and in case of winning an award, the cartoonist can hold the manuscript and express his gratitude.

After Shen Xin read it, he threw the letterhead on the table.

The matter of awarding awards is far away from him, and the top priority is to eat something first.

After changing his clothes, Shen Xin wanted to have a meal with the others. As a result, Yan Fei didn't answer the phone, and Gao Hang and Zhou Yang also sent text messages, saying that they had gone to Nanjiatan for a walk.

In an instant, among the group, only he and Lu Ning were left.

Shen Xin looked at Lu Ning's number and struggled for more than two minutes before dialing Lu Ning's phone.

There was another long "beep" sound, Shen Xin scratched his head, and just as he wanted to hang up the phone, Lu Ning's voice came from the earpiece.

"Hey, Teacher Shen?"

"Hey, are you outside?"

"Nope. Just washed ...... Ahem, there was something just now. Lu Ning said.

"Eat?"

"Anyone else?"

"Not for now."

The phone immediately fell silent, and after a while, Lu Ning let out a hesitant "um".

"I'll be waiting for you on the 24th floor."

"24 floors?" Lu Ning said in surprise.

"Well, the 26th floor is also a restaurant." Shen Xin explained.

"Got it. Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes. Lu Ning immediately hung up the phone.

Shen Xin waited at the elevator door for about six or seven minutes, and the elevator rose from the 22nd floor to the 24th floor.

The elevator door opened, and Lu Ning was the only one inside.

Shen Xin raised his hand to say hello and entered the elevator.

A fresh fragrance came to the face, and this fragrance quickly filled the elevator.

Shen Xin glanced at Lu Ning, but saw Lu Ning holding her handbag, pursing her mouth, and her eyes were tilted upward.

Anything about it?

Shen Xin also aimed at the top of the elevator, but found it empty.

For a moment, there was a kind of embarrassment in the air.

Fortunately, the time from the 24th floor to the 26th floor was not long, and the embarrassment did not last long.

When the elevator door opened, the air poured in instantly drove away the embarrassment.

"Let's go?"

"Oh."

Lu Ning hurriedly followed Shen Xin and got out of the elevator.

The entire 26th floor is a restaurant, and when you step out of the elevator, you can see a round table with many people sitting around and two small tables sitting alone.

The sun hadn't set yet, but there were a lot of people in the restaurant, and there were several tables that were gathered together in twos and threes, talking in small voices, and they didn't even care if Shen Xin and Lu Ning came in.

"There are a lot of people." Lu Ning whispered.

"Don't forget, today is the first day of the comic book festival. Cartoonists need to communicate, and besides, in addition to cartoonists, there are editors and their assistants. ”

Shen Xin brought three people over, and the others should not be too few.

"Yes."

Lu Ning bowed slightly, looking around, billboards related to comics were placed on both sides of the passage, and posters of comics were also hung on the roof.

I wish I had the opportunity to be invited, not just a spectator like I did today.

Lu Ning sighed secretly, looked at the billboards on both sides, and said softly, "Huh? There is a poster for "Y's". ”

"Yes, but there are also "Hunting the Abyss" and "Punishment of Crime". It's fun to put together posters of the same awards. Shen Xin explained.

Lu Ning looked around and found that as Shen Xin said, the cartoons of different awards were put together.

"Teacher Shen, here!"

The two of them were about to find a random place to sit down, when they immediately heard someone calling out to him.

Shen Xin only listened to the voice, and guessed that the person who spoke was Ye Hexu.

The people around heard Ye Hexu shouting "Teacher Shen", and they also let out a sound of surprise.

"Teacher Shen? Who is Mr. Shen? ”

"Don't know? I don't think I've heard much about it before. ”

"Seeing that he is not very old, he should be a candidate for the 'Newcomer Award', right?"

"Isn't the 'Newcomer Award' covered by ComicFuture?"

"Sure, with the double insurance of "Hunting the Abyss" and "Punishment", "ComicFuture" should win steadily."

"This young man is 'studying with the prince'."

"Yes, that's right. However, it sounds as if you are not 'studying with the prince'. ”

"You too!"

"Haha......"

Laughter rang out in the restaurant.

Many manga artists have been depressed for a long time, and continuous updates have led to physical and mental exhaustion.

It is only at this time and this place that everyone will relax a little, and they don't have to think about serialization or editorial reminders.

As for winning awards, those who have a chance are naturally nervous, and for cartoonists who know that there is no hope of winning awards, this party is similar to a carnival, and some ridiculous words can also be said unscrupulously.
