Hearing the words of the people around him, Shen Xin didn't care too much.

These people don't even spare themselves, let alone others.

And, if it weren't for the manga festival, some wouldn't even have the chance to meet. Now that they are together, it is normal for people to pour bitter water on their companions or tease each other.

Since Ye Hexu took the initiative to say hello, out of politeness, Shen Xin also had to go over and ask a few words.

The table where Ye Hexu was sitting was in the corner of the restaurant, and when he saw Shen Xin coming, Ye Hexu bared his teeth and waved.

At the same table as Ye Hexu, in addition to Jian Xiaomei, there was also a long-haired boy with long bangs on his forehead, covering his eyes, and looking a little gloomy.

Seeing Shen Xin coming, the long-haired boy used his fingers to comb his hair behind his ears, revealing a delicate face, bowing his head slightly at Shen Xin, and then lowered his head again.

The action was so fast that Shen Xin didn't even have time to react.

"Teacher Shen, I'm really sorry last time." Ye Hexu stood up and folded his hands.

"Huh? What's up? Shen Xin was confused.

"'Hunting the Abyss' was released the day after 'Y's,' which was really not my intention." Ye Hexu said.

"Uh...... That thing...... Teacher Ye, don't scold me. Shen Xin scratched his head.

When it comes to what the magazine decides, a cartoonist really doesn't have the right to decide. Moreover, even if it is his original intention, it is nothing, everyone is in a competitive relationship, in order to win over each other.

"By the way, this is the author of "Hunting the Abyss", Teacher Ye Hexu." Shen Xin introduced to Lu Ning.

Ye Hexu immediately smiled, and Shen Xin glared at Ye Hexu, "Don't think about it, this is my assistant, called Lu Ning." ”

Lu Ning's goal is to become a cartoonist, and if she enters the comic industry, these people are her predecessors. Therefore, after Shen Xin's introduction, Lu Ning also bowed slightly, and at the same time, he was also surprised by Ye Hexu's age, he looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, right?

It's horrible.

"This guy looks quite young, but he's actually twenty years old, just tall...... Ahem. Shen Xin didn't say it explicitly, but Lu Ning understood.

Ye Hexu rolled his eyes, originally he didn't care about his height, but there were more people talking about it, and he gradually felt that his height was too low, which might be a real disadvantage.

"This is the editor-in-charge of ComicFuture, Miss Jian Xiaomei."

When Lu Ning heard that Jian Xiaomei was the editor in charge, she took it to heart, and hurriedly greeted Jian Xiaomei, and then moved her gaze to the third person, however, Shen Xin did not continue to introduce it, because he didn't know who this person was.

The long-haired young man lowered his head, held a Coke in both hands, and did not make a sound for a long time.

Shen Xin is a black line, this guy keeps his head down and doesn't introduce himself, how can he chat?

Ye Hexu saw the two of them and laughed out loud.

Makes you laugh at my height, embarrassing, right?

Jian Xiaomei rubbed her forehead, Ye Hexu was sometimes no different from a child.

The most embarrassing person at this time was actually not Shen Zheng, but a long-haired young man.

"Ahem...... Teacher Shen, this is the painter of "Crime and Punishment", Teacher Jumping. ”

"Huh? Hop Hop ...... Teacher? ”

Shen Xin was a little surprised, where did this young man feel like "jumping"? That's too introverted, isn't it?

When Han Ye heard Shen Xin talking to him, he also raised his head slightly and bowed slightly, "That...... Hello Mr. Shen, my name is Han Ye, and I have seen all your works. I love them all. ”

"Yes...... Is it? Glad you liked. Shen Xin's mind was a little messy.

"Usually, Han Ye can also chat, but he is a little embarrassed to see you." Jian Xiaomei explained.

"Why?"

"I'm a little embarrassed to meet my favorite cartoonist. In his words, 'He's the one who was saved by Iori's smile', that's probably what he meant, right? Ye Hexu saw that he didn't tease the two people, so he lost his interest, and dragged his cheeks and said.

Yes? What the heck?

Shen Xin looked confused, completely unaware of what "happened" between Han Ye and "Y's".

"This matter is a long story, Mr. Shen, you sit down, and we will talk slowly."

Shen Xin shook his head again and again, he didn't dare to be interested in other people's privacy, and saw that the table was not served, so he said, "The three of you should be waiting for someone, right?" We won't bother. ”

"Don't. Originally, there was still Su Han, but after she saw me present, she didn't say a word and left directly. So, a few more empty seats. Ye Hexu bared his teeth and smiled, "Teacher Shen, can you sit down too?" I don't believe you're not interested in ComicFuture. Jian Xiaomei is the editor-in-charge of "ComicFuture", what questions can you ask her? ”

Shen Xin glanced at Lu Ning beside her, saw the expectation on her face, and thought that she really didn't know much about ComicFuture, so she nodded.

Ye Hexu snapped his fingers, and the waiter immediately handed over the menu.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Feel free to ...... Can you really ask any question? Shen Xin asked.

"Of course, just ask." Ye Hexu drew a few dishes and handed the à la carte menu to the waiter.

"This year's 'Newcomer Award'...... Was it obtained by ComicFuture? Shen Xin asked "tactfully".

"......" Ye Hexu glared at Shen Xin, "I don't know, let's change the question." ”

"Aren't you able to ask any question?" Shen Xin asked.

"I want to know the answer, too." Ye Hexu puffed out his cheeks, and his heart was quite depressed.

"I know a little bit." Han Ye, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"What do you know?" Ye Hexu was puzzled.

"Punishment and Punishment...... I don't really have much of a chance. Han Ye took a sip of Coke with both hands, "It is difficult for a cartoonist who cooperates with others to win the Newcomer Award, otherwise, it will be unfair to others, and the judges will definitely take this factor into account." ”

Shen Xin was dumbfounded, Ye Hexu rubbed his chin, but his face was not too surprised.

If the judges finally get entangled in Han Ye and another rookie cartoonist, Han Ye, who cooperates with Su Han, will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

"If that's the case, Mr. Shen...... 'Newcomer Award' will only be you and me." Ye Hexu had a smile on his face, but his eyes were unusually bright.

In the air, there was suddenly a hint of tension.

Shen Xin didn't flinch, "Then who do you think will have the last laugh?" ”

"Of course it'......" Ye Hexu pointed at himself, "If I don't even have this bit of confidence, what comics do I draw?" ”

"Ahem...... Excuse me. The awards will be presented in two days, so the discussion related to the newcomers will end here. Jian Xiaomei noticed that the eyes of the people around her had shifted over, and hurriedly interrupted Ye Hexu's words, "Teacher Shen, you can ask questions like manuscript fees." ”

Shen Xin shook his head, "For cartoonists, the manuscript fee is just to make a living and pay the salary of an assistant. No matter how much the manuscript fee is, after the completion of the manuscript, there will be no financial resources. Therefore, it is far less useful to negotiate manuscript fees than to negotiate royalties......"

Before Shen Xin finished speaking, he felt his clothes tighten, but it was Lu Ning who secretly pulled his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

Song Ren...... Come in......" Lu Ning whispered.

Shen Xin hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw Song Ren and another young man, striding into the restaurant.
