Chapter 156 Communication Among Cartoonists

Shen Xin didn't pay much attention to what the people around her said.

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

And, if it wasn't for the manga festival, some people wouldn't even have the chance to meet. Now that we are together now, it is human nature to pour bitterness on our companions or to tease each other.

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

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

At the same table as Ye Hexu, besides Jian Xiaomei, there was also a long-haired boy with long bangs covering his eyes, making him look a little sinister.

Seeing Shen Xin approaching, the long-haired boy combed his hair behind his ears with his fingers, revealing his handsome face, slightly nodded at Shen Xin, then lowered his head again.

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

"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry last time." Ye Hexu stood up and clasped his hands together.

"Eh? What's the matter?" Shen Xin was at a loss.

"The release of "Abyss of Hunting" the day after "Y's" was really not my intention." Ye Hexu said.

"Uh... that matter... Teacher Ye, don't embarrass me." Shen Xin scratched her head.

A cartoonist really has no right to decide what the magazine decides. Furthermore, even if it was his intention, it's nothing, everyone is in a competitive relationship, and they just want to win over each other.

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

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

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

It was horrible.

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

Ye Hexu rolled his eyes. Originally, he didn't care about his height, but as more people talked about it, he gradually felt that his height was too low, which might really be a disadvantage.

"This is the responsible editor of "Comic Future", Miss Jian Xiaomei."

When Lu Ning heard that Jian Xiaomei was in charge of the editor, she fell in love, greeted Jian Xiaomei quickly, and then moved her eyes to the third person. However, Shen Xin didn't continue to introduce because he didn't know who this person was .

The long-haired young man lowered his head, holding a Coke in both hands, and remained silent for a long time.

Shen Xin has black hair. This guy kept his head down and didn't introduce himself. How should we chat?

Ye Hexu laughed out loud when he saw the two of them.

It's embarrassing for you to laugh at my height, right?

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

The most embarrassing person at this time was not actually Shen Zheng,

It's a young man with long hair.

"Ahem... Mr. Shen, this is the artist of "Crime and Punishment", Mr. Tiaotiao."

"Eh? Tiaotiao...teacher?"

Shen Xin was a little surprised, how could this young man feel like "jumping"? Is this too introverted?

When Han Ye heard Shen Xin talking to him, he raised his head slightly and nodded slightly, "Well... Hello, Teacher Shen. My name is Han Ye. I have read all of your works. I like them all."

"Yes... Really? I'm glad you like it." Shen Xin was a little confused.

"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 see my favorite cartoonist. In his words, 'he is the one who was saved by Iori's smile', maybe that's what he means?" Seeing that he didn't tease two people, Ye Hexu Lost interest, dragged his cheeks and said.

ah? What the hell?

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

"It's a long story, Mr. Shen, sit down and let's talk slowly."

Shen Xin shook his head again and again, he was not too interested in other people's sex, and seeing that there was no food served on the table, he said: "The three should be waiting for someone, right? We won't bother you."

"Don't. There was Su Han, but when she saw me, she left without saying a word. So, there are a few more seats." Ye Hexu grinned, "Mr. Shen, sit down too. Right? I don't believe you're not interested in "Comic Future". Jian Xiaomei is the editor in charge of "Comic Future", if you have any questions, you can 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 "Comic Future", so she nodded.

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

"What dish do you want to eat?"

"Arbitrarily... Can you really ask any questions?" Shen Xin asked.

"Of course, just ask." Ye Hexu marked out a few dishes and handed the order to the waiter.

"This year's 'Newcomer Award'...is it won by "Comic Future"?" 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 questions?" Shen Xin asked.

"I also want to know the answer." Ye Hexu puffed his cheeks, feeling rather depressed.

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

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

""Punishment"...I actually don't have much of a chance." Han Ye took a sip of Coke with both hands, "It's very difficult for a cartoonist who cooperates with others to win the Newcomer Award, otherwise, it's unfair to others, and the judges will definitely take this factors were taken into consideration.”

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

If the judges were finally entangled in Han Ye and another new cartoonist, Han Ye, who worked with Su Han, would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

"If that's the case, Teacher Shen... only you and I will be left for the 'Newcomer Award'." Ye Hexu had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely bright.

There was a sudden sense of tension in the air.

Shen Xin didn't back down either, "Then who do you think will have the last laugh?"

"Of course..." Ye Hexu pointed at himself, "If I don't even have this bit of self-confidence, why should I draw cartoons?"

"Ahem... Excuse me. The awards will be presented in two days, so the discussion related to the newcomers ends here." Jian Xiaomei noticed that the eyes of the people around her were all shifted, and quickly interrupted Ye Hexu, " Teacher Shen, you can ask questions about the manuscript fee."

Shen Xin shook her head, "For a cartoonist, the manuscript fee is just to make a living and pay the assistant's salary. No matter how much the manuscript fee is, after the book is finished, there will be no source of income. Therefore, talking about the manuscript fee is far less useful than talking about royalties... ..."

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

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

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

Shen Xin hurriedly turned her head and saw Song Ren and another young man striding into the restaurant.
