Big Manga

Chapter 232: The smile that teases you

It was getting darker, and the street lamps on the edge of the square were lit up one after another.

Alice and Shen Jie stood under a tree, always paying attention to the movement of readers in the square.

The crowd hadn't dispersed yet, and the reason was their guidance. Shen Jie found Zhou Qian from the Big Sister Alliance at noon, and together they publicized the event on the forum, attracting more people and maintaining the number of people in the square.

However, once it gets dark, the rate of loss of readers is faster than the rate of arrival. It is estimated that in less than three hours, the people in the square will be gone.

"Alice, they haven't settled yet?" Shen Jie sent a guiding text message with her mobile phone, then turned her head and asked, "I can't pull people away, what if they get separated?"

Alice tilted her head and checked the time on Shen Jie's cell phone, it was seven o'clock in the evening.

"It should be soon." She said, "It's impossible to talk for too long. It may be on the way now."

Shen Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"How many compromises do you think Zhongxia Company will make?" Her eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, "Will Meng Huo's comics be allowed to be sold in their bookstore?"

This was the result she was most looking forward to, but it was also the least likely result.

"Impossible." Alice vetoed without hesitation: "Zhongxia Company will not make a big compromise. This time they are willing to contact Meng Huo in the past, which is a concession in itself. If there are too many demands, they will definitely not agree. "

Today's matter is not small, but it will definitely not be too big. Zhongxia has no reason to make many sacrifices. If they ask too much, they can directly use tough methods. Threatening Zhongxia with readers is a joke in itself.

The biggest benefit that Meng Huo and Phoenix Company can obtain is mostly Zhongxia's public apology. However, an apology will not be easy to get, because it will make Zhongxia lose face even more, and they may be more willing to scare these radical readers.

In the end what is the result has to wait.

"Look. Here we come!"

Shen Jie patted Alice's hand, pointed to one side and said. On the other side of the square, several cars drove up.

"Strange, Meng Huo didn't come?"

Shen Jie looked around, but found no familiar license plate.

Yang Liang and Wang Zhe got out of the first car.

After the two people got off the car, they walked into Zhongxia Building. Not long after, some people moved props and prepared a small stage in front of the square, and Wang Zhe stood on it with a microphone.

"Please be quiet, everyone!" He called the readers chatting and discussing in the square to quiet down, and then said: "We understand the reason why you are here, it may be that our previous news and reports have caused some misunderstandings..."

Wang Zhe delivered a speech on stage. The readers stared at him, listened, and roughly understood that he was apologizing.

"Great."

Alice was overjoyed. A company as big as Zhongxia would apologize publicly. This is a big victory!

"What, what an apology. There's no sincerity at all."

However, Shen Jie was very dissatisfied. Although he meant to apologize, Wang Zhe never said that Zhongxia Company did something wrong, only that it was all a misunderstanding. In his speech, he said that the original intention of Zhongxia Company was good, but in the end, he used words and reprinted them in the media, which led to misunderstandings outside. I hope readers don't think too much...

Such perfunctory lines. Who can stand it?

"What! Bastard, are you apologizing!?"

"What kind of apology is this, it's insincere!"

Below the stage, the readers were somewhat aggrieved.

But Wang Zhe ignored it. He continued, "Let me explain to everyone that the agreement of Mr. He Xi that we mentioned in the press conference last time was actually between him and Anthony..."

He told the real content of the agreement, of course he didn't say the specific conditions, but he just said that the person who wants to use the two comics to fight is Anthony, not Li Xin.

Hear here. The doubts in the hearts of many readers disappeared. No wonder why Teacher He Xi ignored a newcomer for no reason. It turned out that he had made an appointment with the old man who had won the Nobel Prize.

"Really, why didn't Teacher He Xi say it earlier..."

"That's right, in the final analysis. This is the fault of that rookie manga artist! Why is it that Teacher He Xi wants to compare with him? It's not like that at all. It's hype!"

"Teacher He Xi probably doesn't want to say it out, so that the rookie cartoonist will lose all face?"

Many readers think of He Xi as a good person, but of course the reality is not like this at all. Meng Huo didn't speak up, mostly because the media at that time didn't focus on reporting when he talked about it, and he hated meeting reporters.

If Zhong Xia took the initiative to speak out about this matter, then the truth would be completely revealed, and no one would question it.

But after the truth came out, another wave of anger surged up in the hearts of the readers. Since it was the agreement of Duke Anthony, then Li Xin, a newcomer cartoonist, has no reason to be called the number one cartoonist. In the end, he was the worst person. right.

He actually used other people's bets to prop himself up.

Readers were furious, wondering what to do with the rookie cartoonist in the future. However, no one expected that after Wang Zhe stepped down, Li Xin got out of a car and walked onto the stage with a pale face.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, it's not me that Mr. He Xi dealt with in the two books, but I was too proud." After he took the stage, the first thing he did was to bow down and apologize: "I hope everyone can forgive me, this matter... ..."

At this moment, both Alice and Shen Jie understood—it turned out that Zhong Xia didn't want to apologize by herself, but instead blamed the cartoonist.

despicable behavior...

But it is very effective. For excited readers, seeing Li Xin admitting his mistake is the most important thing. They were dissatisfied with the arrogance of this newcomer trampling on He Xi, Li Xin took the initiative to admit his mistake, and even bowed down in front of everyone to admit his mistake, the readers in the square were simply very happy.

Watching the cartoonists apologize in person, they feel like they have won and have no regrets.

"The truth is out, we have helped Teacher He Xi get justice!"

"Wow, teacher He Xi is indeed the best. We are so good that we forced Zhongxia Company out to apologize!"

"It's so cool. I didn't come in vain today. Seeing this kid apologize, Shu Tan!"

"Hahaha, everyone, go home..."

After Li Xin apologized, the readers started to leave one after another.

"why is it like this!"

Shen Jie was a little upset.

"Forget it. Let them go!" Alice sighed: "That's very good."

Although Zhong Xia was not asked to apologize, but Li Xin apologized, which is actually very good. Satisfied, Alice dragged Shen Jie away. Today's event was an unexpected surprise no matter what.

On the square, there are fewer and fewer readers. The new door of Zhongxia Company was also shipped over, and some employees called to wipe the writing on the wall.

A riot ended smoothly.

"Li Xin, don't be discouraged." Yang Liang heaved a sigh of relief, and then seeing Li Xin's dim back on the stage, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Your actions today. We will all remember them in our hearts .”

Yang Liang likes this cartoonist, Li Xin is very obedient, and the company asks him to apologize. Although he was wronged, he still did it. This spirit is quite rare, and it can't do much harm.

Li Xin is a newcomer, and his overnight explosion will definitely make many people jealous and hostile. After this apology, some readers will accept him instead. The cartoonist who will take the initiative to apologize is very good, and Li Xin's own strength is very good.

"The company will continue to support you in the future." Yang Liang said with a smile: "You should put aside the title of No. 1 in China for the time being, and it will be yours sooner or later."

"Yes."

Li Xin nodded.

In fact, the meeting between Yangliang and He Xi this time, what Zhongxia Company promised was an apology. And in the future, "China's No. 1" will not be used to promote Li Xin.

In this regard, He Xi's victory was complete. On the other hand, Zhong Xia didn't actually lose.

Anyway, Li Xin's sales are booming and he is now a celebrity. As a new cartoonist, how many people can do this? The answer is no one. Li Xin is the most popular person in Huaxia. He Xi was never as dazzling as him when he debuted.

"By the way, Minister..."

Li Xin calmed down and asked cautiously, "You went to see Teacher He Xi, didn't you?"

"Yeah. He's an outstanding kid. He is willing to settle this matter this time. To be honest, I'm very happy." Yang Liang nodded happily. He Xi proposed the method of calming down this time. very perfect.

However, Li Xin's complexion suddenly turned subtle.

"Minister, you worked so hard to find him... In the end, he just told you what to do, and didn't come out to help at all, right?"

Yang Liang froze, his eyes widened, and he froze like a fool. That's right, the commotion from the readers subsided, but what a pity they never came! The ones who appease the readers' anger are themselves, so there's no such thing as any regrets!

Sweat dripped down his face, and Yangliang began to recall what happened in the afternoon.

He remembered that when he entered the Yaxuan Teahouse, the four of them started negotiating, and He Xi made tea for them in person, without saying anything. The negotiation didn't go well at the beginning, Xu Jing's old man was strong and stubborn, and he insisted that they make a public apology. Of course Yang Liang disagreed, they stalemate for more than ten minutes, and finally Meng Huo spoke leisurely, saying that Zhongxia Company didn't need to apologize.

He proposed a plan for Li Xin to apologize, and explained that it was the most perfect plan from all aspects. Not only will the reputation of Zhongxia Company not be damaged, but it will also be beneficial to Li Xin's future development. Yang Liang was moved by this and accepted it sincerely...

But - why didn't he come over!

"Wang Zhe!" Yang Liang roared, turned to stare at the editor-in-chief of the manga, his eyes widened: "We didn't invite He Xi, he didn't show up at all, why didn't you remind me!"

Wang Zhe was taken aback.

"I, I..." His face flushed slightly, and he said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Minister, the tea made by Teacher He Xi is so delicious, I patronized tea at that time..."

Yang Liang was about to faint, and the loss was huge. Looking back, this was a simple scam! But they were fooled!

Although everything turned out well, it was too irritating!

"That brat!"

Thinking of He Xi, Yang Liang became even angrier. He remembered that He Xi smiled brightly when he saw them off. At that time, he still thought that Teacher He Xi really had a big heart... Now that he thinks about it again, it was just teasing you Play with a smile!
