Big Manga

On Saturday, in the office, Meng Huo signed the last name.

"In this way, our contract is terminated."

He put down his pen, and handed the signed documents to Tomato and his four assistants one by one. From this moment on, their cooperation with Meng Huo came to an end.

This is also Tomato's 'resignation procedure'. Meng Huo gave everyone a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and sincerely thanked them for their help over the years.

Watching the four assistants put away the documents, Meng Huo looked at Ye Xiong who was sitting on the side witnessing, and said, "Editor Ye, arrange for the new assistant to sign the contract with me this afternoon."

"No, don't bother..." Ye Xiong stood up from the sofa, and said with a smile: "Our editorial department has already signed a contract with them, and they have long been your official assistants, teacher."

"Have you signed the contract?" Meng Huo frowned, "Why didn't you notify me?"

"This time the contract won't give the assistant any royalties. Teacher He Xi, you don't have to participate." Ye Xiong said, it wasn't that he didn't inform Meng Huo, but he deliberately didn't inform Meng Huo.

Meng Huo's method of signing contracts by himself is no longer acceptable. It would be better for the editorial department to pay these assistants.

But Meng Huo didn't care about this loss. He was a little annoyed when he heard that Ye Xiong made his own claim: "This is my long-standing habit. How can you change it without authorization?"

"Teacher, it's not that we want to change, but that you take too much care of your assistants, we have to change!" Ye Xiong smiled wryly: "If you still use the original method to arrange assistants, these assistants may not be able to drive them away in the future."

In fact, he can't help it. He Xi is too brain-dead in this regard. He took good care of his assistant and signed the contract according to the original method. His assistant's income would be higher than that of the professional cartoonists in the company, and the influence was very bad.

It was fine in the past, how could Ye Xiong continue to let He Xi take care of his assistant like this now, isn't this a mess?

It is already a miracle that four people have left their jobs this time, but miracles will not happen again and again. In the future, He Xi's assistants are likely to insist on him not leaving. But this is not in line with the wishes of the editorial department.

The editorial department wanted to regard He Xi's assistant job as an opportunity for cartoonists to further study. They needed assistants to be able to move around, and they didn't want them to stay there and not come out.

"The editor-in-chief did the right thing." At this time, Tomato, who had already put away the contract, said, "I just heard teacher, you asked me if I wanted to leave. I almost refused. When your assistant is an iron rice bowl, why? Want to go out and paint?"

"I didn't refuse because I was more confident, but other cartoonists may not be like this. Teacher, your original contract is too comfortable. You can't continue to use it."

Nowadays, there are still many people who criticize Tomato in private for being stupid. They don’t draw a good "Detective Conan", but go out and draw other comics. How can other comics be so comfortable and earn so much? If this is not stupid, what is it?

There's something very wrong with being an assistant earning more than a professional cartoonist, and it's time to put it right.

Meng Huo thought about it calmly. Maybe he gave his assistants a bit too much treatment. Not only could such a good treatment stimulate the creativity of the assistants, it would also restrict them to his side, which was really wrong.

"How about the salaries of those new assistants?" Meng Huo asked Ye Xiong.

Seeing him let go, Ye Xiong couldn't help laughing: "Mr. He Xi, don't worry. Although the treatment we give them is not as good as that of professional cartoonists, it is much higher than other assistants. They are very satisfied."

Of course, he also seriously considered the reasonable remuneration for being He Xi's assistant, which is lower than that of professional cartoonists. This is to impress those assistants with the desire to pursue professional cartoonists. He Xi's men.

And in order not to make these assistants feel neglectful of He Xi's comics, the editorial department paid them a lot of salary, which actually reached the level of some white-collar workers, enough to mobilize their enthusiasm.

Coupled with He Xi's assistant position,

Salary is not the main attraction. Its various hidden benefits: such as the promotion of popularity and status, the cultivation of comic experience and skills, etc., are the real attractions of this position.

In the past few weeks, the two female cartoonists who have made a name for themselves with "Flower Season" in one go. The reason why they are so successful is that they have already gathered many fans when they were He Xi's assistants. Coupled with the experience and technology obtained from He Xi, "Flower Season" exploded as soon as it was released.

This example has fully proved how important the position of He Xi's assistant is. Ye Xiong even thought that even if there is no income, the cartoonists of Phoenix Company would be happy to work here for He Xi, so as to 'golden' themselves.

Things have happened. Meng Huo didn't bother with the new contract anymore.

"Are you leaving today?" He looked at the assistants: "I will treat you to dinner at noon."

"No, we bought a plane ticket and have to catch a flight back to Tokyo at noon."

The two female cartoonists were the first to refuse.

"Why are you still going to Tokyo?" Meng Huo asked strangely, the homes of these two female assistants were not in Tokyo.

"Director Bai still needs us. She has been urging us to go back during the few weeks we have been here!" A female cartoonist replied, "We are going to help her make the animation of "Shakugan no Shana"."

"Do you want to do animation?" Meng Huo frowned: "Aren't you going to be cartoonists?"

"That's right, but Director Bai can't refuse. We plan to do animation for a while, and we don't hate that job."

"Teacher, don't worry about us. We know how to measure. When we feel that it will hinder us from drawing manga, we will reject her ourselves. Now we can take care of it."

Meng Huo nodded. These two female cartoonists have always had their own opinions, and they have nothing to worry about when they know how to measure.

"What about you, Tomato?" Meng Huo turned to look at Tomato: "Don't you still want to ask me about comics? You won't leave today, will you?"

"I'll wait for you, teacher, to help me read the manga before leaving." Tomato smiled and said, "Wenlin and the others went back a few days ago, I can stay here for a few more days."

Meng Huo thought to himself why he didn't see Xi Wenlin after he came back. Xi Wenlin must have left with another new assistant. Considering that Xi Wenlin was not suitable to go from Ninghai to Manga Island for a long time, Meng Huo had told him before that he could continue to stay in Ninghai. Work.

The new assistants working with Xi Wenlin also happen to be from Ninghai. They can continue to draw comics in Jiayuan Community in the same way as before, and with Tomato and the others, "Detective Conan" will not have any problems.

Although Tomato has its own comics to draw, the combination of the two detective comics happens to be able to cooperate with each other. He can also supervise "Detective Conan" not to go wrong.

However, this is also the only assistant group that does not work in the manga island. Except for the accident of "Detective Conan", the other assistants are settled in the manga island for a long time.

Meng Huo bid farewell to the two female cartoonists, and then Ye Xiong also bid farewell. Meng Huo took Tomato and Baihan to lunch. After lunch, Tomato returned to the hotel where he lived to sort out the manga.

"I'll bring the manga to you, teacher tomorrow."

Tomato and Meng Huo agreed to discuss comics on Sunday, and they parted at the entrance of the restaurant, leaving Meng Huo and Bai Han to get along.

"You look much better." Meng Huo said to Bai Han. He saw Bai Han's change at a glance, the doubts in the girl's heart seemed to have disappeared, and he was happy about it.

"Teacher He Xi." Bai Han walked beside Meng Huo and said, "I'm going home too."

"Ah? You want to go back too?" Meng Huo stopped in surprise. He had never heard that Bai Han was leaving Manga Island, and he thought she would quietly prepare manga here!

"Well, I want to go home and have a look." Bai Han looked at the scenery of Manga Island, the familiar streets and buildings, before and after she let go of her mood, it looked different, but she had a different sense of vastness. forward.

"I'm thinking about what comics I want to draw. I want to use my hometown as the background..." Bai Han said, "I want to introduce my hometown to the world and write a love story that happened there."

Meng Huo looked at Bai Han with admiration. This idea was not bad, but great. If you use something you are familiar with as your first comic, the chances of success are very high.

He couldn't help but smile: "Good idea."

Bai Han turned to look at him again: "Teacher, can you give me the afternoon? I want to tell you the story I want to draw, if you can give me some pointers..."

"Of course." Before she finished speaking, Meng Huo nodded: "The chick is about to fly, no matter how busy I am, I have to find time to teach it how to flap its wings."

Half a day was very short, but Meng Huo didn't intend to change Bai Han's mind. He supports her choice.

So this afternoon, Meng Huo didn't do anything, he just chatted with Bai Han and listened to her talk about his thoughts. Then give her advice. Of course, Bai Han’s comics already had a foundation, and Meng Huo spent more time telling her about other things she should pay attention to when becoming a cartoonist, including the difficulties and troubles she might encounter, and how to get along with readers and fans, etc.

"I'm different from other cartoonists. I may not be able to tell you everything you may encounter in the future, but Bai Han...as long as you believe in yourself. As long as you don't give up, no difficulty will knock you down."

Time flies, and at the end, Meng Huo concluded Bai Han with these words.

Bai Han used a pen to write down what Meng Huo said all afternoon in a notebook. Her hands were sore, but she put the notebook in the bag before leaving. She felt that she would always remember this afternoon. What a pity. These words will be the treasure of her life.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Manga Island was shrouded in darkness.

Bai Han carried two large suitcases and arrived at the pier where she took the ferry. Meng Huo accompanied her all the way here. When the boat arrived, he watched Bai Han carry the suitcases on board. Know what to say.

Bai Han didn't seem to know how to say goodbye, until after the ferry started moving, she couldn't help crying on her face in the night after all.

"Teacher, goodbye!" She cried while raising her hand and waving. She tried her best to smile on her tearful face and shouted loudly: "I will come back again! Teacher, one day I will become Hot cartoonist, I will come back here again!"

This fledgling with a dream just flew away.

Her last appearance suddenly made Meng Huo a little sad. He recalled the collision when he first saw Bai Han. In fact, Meng Huo knew at that time that she was a bird destined to leave, but he didn't expect that When Bai Han left, he was actually infected by her.

Bai Han is gone, so are the two female cartoonists, and Tomato is also gone. In the future, more familiar people may leave by Meng Huo's side, bringing him more parting sorrow...

"Teacher!" Meng Huo was feeling sad when suddenly a cry came. She looked back and saw Ling Shuang standing with several young people, looking at him in surprise.

"Are you a teacher? I heard Sister Bai Han's voice just now!"

Ling Shuang approached with a smile all over her face, and then hugged Meng Huo's hand. Meng Huo had already made a disguise, but she had no doubts at all. This girl could find him everywhere.

"Why are you here?"

Meng Huo asked.

"I came to play with my classmates. They are all my high school classmates." Ling Shuang pointed to a few friends around her. She was painting during the first two holidays. This week is a rare holiday, so she played with her classmates up.

"Will the teacher come to my house to eat later?"

"No, I have something else to do."

Meng Huo withdrew his hand from Ling Shuang's mouth, said goodbye, then turned and left. Every time he met Ling Shuang, it was not a good thing, but when she disturbed him like that, he immediately walked out of the sadness of Bai Han's departure.

There is no permanent banquet in life. When a group of people leave, newcomers will come in, just like Ling Shuang. Although it may cause trouble, his side will always be full of excitement.

After Meng Huo left, Ling Shuang's classmates walked up to her. Among them was a boy who said rather jealously, "Ling Shuang, who was that just now? Why are you so affectionate with him?"

"Teacher He Xi."

"Oh... hey! Teacher He Xi!?"

"Damn it, Mr. He Xi, why didn't you say that just now!?"

"Hurry up!"

Several girls screamed and chased after him. The boy just now didn't care about being jealous, so he chased after Meng Huo: "Mr. He Xi, please give me an autograph!"

The cries of this group of people caused a commotion around them, and then, everyone ran in that direction.

"Idiot, how can you catch up with Teacher He Xi!"

Ling Shuang looked at this scene and giggled. She knew He Xi's physical fitness and found out that she hadn't caught up with him so many times before. These people must be chasing him for nothing.

But just now she deliberately didn't say the word 'He Xi' just to create this scene.

"Teacher He Xi was made such a fuss, so she shouldn't be thinking about Sister Bai Han..."

Ling Shuang had this thought in her mind. She saw the scene of Meng Huo seeing off Bai Han, and worried that he might feel sad. If he made a fuss, his sadness would disappear. (~^~)
