Chapter 129 Preparations Before Departure
When Lu Ning, Gao Hang and Zhou Yang learned that Shen Xin was going to Hongchuan to participate in the book signing, they immediately cheered and expressed their desire to go with Shen Xin.
Shen Xin also fully agreed, that after working so hard together for so long, we really should go out and relax.
"marvelous!"
The fat man clenched his fists and made a hysterical sound.
For him, having the opportunity to go to Hongchuan is simply not too exciting. For him, Nanjiatan is like a paradise. There are maid cafes, figures, models... all kinds of "treasures" should be found there.
The bonus that was issued just now finally has a place to use.
Lu Ning was also very happy in her heart, but she appeared calm on the surface.
She is not interested in those surroundings, but the atmosphere of comics in Hongchuan is unmatched by Yunhai, especially, the bookstore there can buy a lot of good comics and some books related to comic techniques.
This reminded Shen Xin that he still needs to make up a lot in terms of painting, and the books in the studio also need to be updated. This time in the past, it is best to buy some books.
Shen Xin gave Lu Ning a thumbs up, and Lu Ning raised her forehead slightly, with a hint of pride on her face.
Zhou Yang was cheerful, sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, shaking back and forth. It was obvious that he was also looking forward to this trip.
"However, considering that we will be absent for at least three days, the progress of the manga needs to be rushed." Shen Xin said with a dry smile.
"That, teacher..." Gao Hang immediately raised his hand, "I have a suggestion."
"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at the little fat man in surprise, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Can we finish the content of the first chapter ahead of schedule? By then, we will have a week's rest." Gao Hang said expectantly.
He finally had such an opportunity, and he cherished it very much. It would be great if he stayed in Hongchuan for a few more days.
"Well...it's useless for you to work hard alone." Shen Xin relaxed her shoulders, and glanced at Lu Ning and Zhou Yang again.
Lu Ning is still a third-year student, and her studies are relatively heavy, while Zhou Yang has to draw a short story of "Ghost Poses", and is also very tight on time.
"I'm fine."
Lu Ning's tone was firm. It's not like she hasn't done the thing of drawing two words a week. What's more, there are still 2 weeks before June 3rd, so it shouldn't be a big problem to draw a three-episode manga.
"I'm fine too!" Zhou Yang raised his hand.
"You have a problem. The magazine is waiting for your comics. If you delay the draft, Xiaoli will also have a headache." Shen Xin said.
Mentioning Xiaoli, Zhou Yang's expression drooped immediately.
Xiaoli is younger and more energetic than Li Jiming, but he is a little afraid of her, probably because he doesn't want to disappoint her.
"You commute to and from get off work normally as before. Lu Ning and Gao Hang, I will trouble you this time. During the few days in Hongchuan, you will be on paid leave." Shen Xin laughed.
"Really? Teacher, you are so kind." Gao Hang's eyes lit up, as if he wanted to pounce on Shen Xin.
"Okay, hurry up and get to work." Shen Xin felt that the topic had changed.
The three assistants immediately picked up their tools and started working on the manuscript.
At the beginning of the year, Shen Xin, Lu Ning, and Gao Hang drew two episodes of manga in a week in order to release the second volume in a hurry.
That time, they had just changed assistants, and the tacit understanding between them had not yet formed, and the cooperation between them was quite unfamiliar, but even so, the task was still completed.
Therefore, Shen Xin is quite confident about rushing to work this time.
On Friday, Yan Fei came to the studio to collect the manuscript, and saw the four people in the room, all of whom were fighting high, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the trash can was full of coffee and energy drink cans. what's up.
When Shen Xin explained the reason,
She breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you guys encountered some kind of problem?"
"It's hard for everyone to go out to play once, and relax completely. Later... I guess they will be under a lot of pressure." Shen Xin said with a smile.
"You should pay attention to your health and don't be too tired."
"I know. Is there anything else?" Shen Xin lowered her head and continued to ink the line draft.
"One more thing. Today, the editor-in-chief conveyed the words of the president at the meeting, and asked the editors to think of some ideas to improve the sales of "Y's". However, they didn't get any results, and most editors avoided talking about it. Xiaoli and I made some suggestions, but they didn't pass. Sorry, I didn't help much." Yan Fei apologized.
Shen Xin fell into deep thought.
The actions of the president today can show that he is also in entanglement.
He wanted "Y's" to achieve better results, and "New World" could also take the opportunity to increase sales, but he didn't want Shen Xin to leave after the next book. Therefore, there is a contradictory approach.
This made Shen Xin more certain that the cooperation between him and the president still had a turning point, and now both parties are waiting for an opportunity.
"Should we finish the book signing first? If I have time, I will meet with the president again." Shen Xin said.
After Yan Fei told Shen Xin to pay attention to her body again, she left with the manuscript, and the studio resumed its previous busyness.
Xi Muhan was busy writing novels, and Shen Xin was busy working overtime drawing comics. Suddenly, the two of them spent much less time talking together.
Even after returning home, Shen Xin and her sister only met each other in a hurry, and then went back to their respective houses.
Without those things that can be said or not said, the relationship between the two has become dry again.
Xi Muhan couldn't hold it back, and finally on the last day of May, he purposely sat in the living room and waited for Shen Xin to arrive home.
Shen Xin pushed open the door and saw Xi Muhan sitting at the dining table, typing on the computer, curious, "What happened today?"
"Brother Xin, do you have any opinion on my writing novels?" Xi Muhan closed the computer, pursed his mouth, and stared at Shen Xin with both eyes.
"Ah? No? What's wrong with you?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.
"Recently, there seems to be a wall between us. Don't you feel it?" Xi Muhan said.
Shen Xin shook her head, "It's quite normal, little girl, stop thinking about it."
Xi Muhan rolled his eyes depressingly, could it be that he was really thinking too much?
"Well... Then why did you seldom speak after you came back?"
"Oh, you said this." Shen Xin put the supper on the dining table, "Because we are all busy. You are busy writing novels now, and I am also preparing for the June book signing. No free time. When this period passes, it should be fine."
"Book signing? Are you going to Hongchuan?" Xi Muhan was slightly taken aback.
"En." Shen Xin nodded slightly.
"How long?" Xi Muhan asked quickly.
"Three days? Maybe a week. You stay at home and don't think about other things."
"Can I go?" Xi Muhan asked.
"You still have to go to school." Shen Xin was a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has been separated from Xi Muhan for such a long time after time travel.
However, it should be fine.
After she went to college, the two of them would spend even less time meeting each other.
Little girl, after all, she will grow up.
Xi Muhan bit his lip, remained silent, and stared at the notebook on the dinner table.
Shen Xin was also a little embarrassed, just when she was about to persuade Xi Muhan, she nodded her head with firm eyes.
"I see. Brother Xin, I will cheer for you in the sea of clouds."
Shen Xin reached out and patted Xi Muhan's head lightly, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say, so she could only say "um" softly.
