Chapter 31: Surprise

Shen Yin signed a contract with Tiancheng Animation Production Company to sell them the rights to the comic and assist their staff in designing the characters of the comic. She knew that all these achievements were due to Zhou Fansheng, if he hadn't provided such a big platform for herself, she wouldn't have achieved such a great achievement at all.

That night, she was lying in bed and sent a text message to Zhou Fansheng, preparing to invite him to dinner at noon tomorrow, and he readily agreed.

Zhou Fansheng drove to the studio, she got in the car, "Today I will be Dong, tell me what you want to eat." Shen Yin turned on his mobile phone and searched for a famous restaurant.

Zhou Fansheng covered her mobile phone screen with his hand and said, "You invite me to dinner, of course I have the final say." He smiled mysteriously at her, "Don't look at it, just follow me." ”

They drove to the door of a supermarket, and Zhou Fansheng pulled her to the vegetable area, pointed to the various vegetables around and said, "You can choose whatever you can cook." ”

"You don't want me to cook, do you?" She looked him in the eye in surprise.

"yes, I still like the porridge you make, why don't you make that?" He was holding a cabbage with a serious expression on his face.

Shen Yin picked out some ingredients, and he pushed the shopping cart next to him.

After they settled the account, Zhou Fansheng took her to his house, "You sit on the sofa and rest first, and I'll go and prepare." ”

Shen Yin drank half a glass of water and began to clean the ingredients he had just bought.

Zhou Fansheng appeared in the kitchen wearing a white apron, "Hehe, why are you dressed like this?" Shen Yin pointed to his clothes and smiled.

"I'm cooking with you, so I seem to be sincere." He tugged at his white apron.

After Shen Yin and Wang Mengliang were together, her cooking skills had improved greatly, and she began to operate skillfully, Zhou Fansheng stood by to watch her cook, and helped her clean vegetables by the way.

After a while, the sumptuous lunch was finally ready, and Shen Yin brought the food to the table and served him a bowl of rice.

"Looking at the color, I think it must be delicious, I'll try it first." He sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs and put it in his mouth, "It's very delicious, who did you learn your cooking skills from, why are you so good?" ”

"Of course I learned it from a professional chef, otherwise would the taste be so authentic?" She smiled mischievously.

After lunch, she packed up the dishes and looked at the time to see that it was half past two in the afternoon, "It's not early, I'll go back to work first." ”

"Wait!" Zhou Fansheng grabbed her arm and said, "I have something to tell you, you wait for me." ”

Zhou Fansheng took out a document from the room and handed it to her, "This is an anime competition event, are you interested in participating?" ”

Shen Yin glanced at the document, his eyes lit up and said: "This competition is hosted by the most well-known comic company in China, I heard that the company's requirements are very high, and ordinary comic writers are not qualified to participate, how did you get it?" ”

"I got it from a friend, so prepare it!" He smiled.

"Fan Sheng, thank you!" She said gratefully.

"Don't be so polite, I'm looking forward to you." He patted her gently on the shoulder.

"Well, I'll do my best!" Shen Yin made a cheering gesture.

Shen Yin returned to the studio and read the document carefully. This sensational national comic contest lasted for two months and was divided into two parts, the first part was a competition for the country's famous new generation cartoonists, and the first, second and third prizes were determined, and each award was limited to one person; The second link is a national professional cartoonist competition, and the contestants must have been engaged in the industry for more than four years to participate, and there are also three levels of awards; You can't participate in these two sessions at the same time, you can only choose one of the two.

Although Shen Yin has been in this industry for four years, she has only been a professional cartoonist for less than two months, so she should not be eligible to participate in the second part of the competition. Surprisingly, Zhou Fansheng actually signed her up for the second part of the competition, she thought that this must not be his mistake, because after staying in the industry for a long time, everyone knows that only the second link is the key to holding this competition - everyone wants to increase their popularity by winning the award of this competition.

She looked at the content of the document again, and the second part of the competition was an article without an ending, and asked the contestants to rewrite the story into the form of a comic and draw the ending.

She read the question three times, and she didn't have a clue. With only two months to go until the competition, she was a little anxious, but she needed to be more patient in order to be able to create better works, so that she could continue to refine the details of her work.

A week later, she went back to the county seat to visit her grandmother, who was still in a bad condition, but her face was a lot ruddy. Shen Yin took her grandmother home and took her for a walk in the village square in the evening.

At this time, a walking aunt came over and greeted her grandmother, who responded enthusiastically. This aunt was a neighbor of Shen Yin when she was ten years old, and later went to the county seat with her daughter, and after that, Shen Yin never saw her again, "Aunt Heng, why did you come back?" Shen Yin only remembered it in the conversation between her and her grandmother.

"Shen Yin, you have grown so big and become more and more beautiful." Aunt Heng smiled slightly.

"How have you been doing in the past few years? How often do I think of you? Aunt Heng was talking to her grandmother, her eyes always staying on Shen Yin, "What happened in your family ......"

Shen Yin hurriedly interrupted Aunt Heng and changed the topic: "Aunt Heng, it's not early, I'll take my grandmother back first." She was worried that mentioning the past would irritate her grandmother.

"Okay, Aunt Heng will come back when you're free." Aunt Heng said politely.

Grandma's temperament is now no different from that of a child, and the doctor told her that grandma can no longer stand any stimulation now, and she should be as careful as possible when talking to her.

Shen Yin took care of her grandmother to lie down, she came to the balcony with a blanket, and looked at the moon and stars in the sky in a daze. Suddenly, inspiration came, and she hurried to the room to write down the idea she had just made, opened the notebook and began to draw.

It wasn't until the rooster crowed outside that she saw that the alarm was six o'clock in the morning. Shen Yin stood up from the chair and moved his limbs, which were already numb.

She went to the kitchen to warm up a glass of milk, and after drinking it, she went to bed.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, she woke up, and her grandmother had already made lunch. After lunch, she saw that the peas planted in the vegetable garden had grown a lot, and picked a basket to send to Aunt Heng.

Aunt Heng was home alone, and she was basking in the sun in the yard. Shen Yin handed her the basket, "Aunt Heng, this is the peas I grew at home, I'll send you some." ”

Aunt Heng grabbed her arm and said, "Shen Yin, sit with Aunt Heng, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

"Don't bother, I'll have to send grandma later." Shen Yin told Aunt Heng about her grandmother's illness and asked her to pay attention when talking to her grandmother in the future.

"Alas, I didn't expect your family to change so much in the past few years." Aunt Heng patted Shen Yin's arm and said, "It's really thanks to you all these years!" You're such a strong kid. ”

"Aunt Heng, don't talk about me like that, these are what I should do." Shen Yin smiled shyly.

"My daughter can't compare with you, I wish I had a daughter as sensible as you." Aunt Heng sighed, "My daughter has never been quiet at home since she had a child. I helped them raise their children until they were five years old, and I planned to go back to my hometown and live a quiet life that belonged to me. I didn't expect you to leave as soon as I came back. ”

"I'm sorry, Aunt Heng, I haven't had a good chat with you yet, I'm leaving." Shen Yin said apologetically.

"I'm just saying, you young people have your own world, and you should go out and walk while you're young. Don't worry, I'll take care of your family for you. ”

"Thank you, you can pick the vegetables in my garden, they are all planted by my grandmother, and I didn't bother to take care of them, and they grew all over the place." Shen Yin said with the basket in his hand.

"It's okay, it's all from the villagers, and this little favor is still helpful." Aunt Heng smiled and sent Shen Yin to the door.

It's June, the weather is getting hotter, and most people are already wearing their summer clothes. Shen Yin helped her grandmother get on the bus to the county seat, the bus was already full, she found an empty seat in the last row, helped her grandmother there to sit down, and stood next to her.

The car started suddenly, Shen Yin's hand slipped and slammed forward, and she hurriedly grabbed the back of the chair next to her to stabilize herself.

"Are you alright?" A deep voice came from behind him.

Shen Yin turned his head and looked at the bored eyes of the previous man. She realized that her foot was stepping on the other's foot, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. "The man was wearing a colored plaid shirt and a pair of black trousers, and he was about twenty-one or twelve years old.

She hurriedly stood up and straightened her hair, "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!" She looked at him embarrassedly.

The man ignored her and stood in the back.

Shen Yin took out a tissue from her bag, "Are you injured?" Do you want to go to the hospital? By the way, your shoes were accidentally trampled on by me, I'll wipe them for you! She crouched down to shine his shoes.

"No, I'm fine." The man grabbed her arm and said, "Grab my arm so you can stand a little stronger." ”

Shen Yin glanced at the armrest above his head and was speechless. Just now, because she was too short, there were many people in the car, and there was no extra sliding armrest, she grabbed the pole on the roof of the car, but she didn't expect the pole to be too high, and her hand slipped and fell, "Thank you!" She smiled sheepishly at the man.

The man still didn't answer, and gave her a faint look.

After Shen Yin sent her grandmother to a nursing home, she went to the city.
