Chapter 198: Visiting the Dojo

( ) Wang Wenhong dragged his cheeks, but looked at the conference room from the corner of his eyes.

The serialization meeting can be regarded as a relatively important meeting of the editorial department. Although the team leaders spoke highly of "Soul of Chess", and Shen Xin was personally invited by Shang Haozhi and confirmed as a cartoonist, there should be no problem, but he always Feel a little worried.

It's like taking a big exam, knowing that you'll pass it with confidence, but you'll always feel a little uneasy until you get your grades.

"Since the editor-in-chief personally invited you, you can't hang up, right?" Xu Jie, who was sitting opposite Wang Wenhong, suddenly said in a low voice.

"It should be." Wang Wenhong coughed dryly twice, but he didn't have the confidence in his heart.

"However, you said, it's really strange. Today's meeting should have lasted for three hours, right? Why hasn't there been a result yet? It doesn't feel good." Jian Xiaomei wondered.

Wang Wenhong glanced at his watch, and it was five o'clock soon, and he became more and more worried, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only helplessly rub his forehead.

In case of being brushed off, how should I tell Shen Xin.

I remember that "Y's" seemed to pass once at the serialization meeting. If "Soul of Chess" didn't pass, I would be ashamed.

Originally, Wang Wenhong was just a little nervous, but after what Jian Xiaomei said, he suddenly lost confidence.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room opened, and the editors who were whispering to each other immediately sat up straight.

Hook was the first to walk out of the meeting room, and his expression was neither too happy nor too sad, which made Wang Wenhong unable to guess the outcome of the meeting.

The eyes of the two team leaders following behind were bent, obviously gaining a lot.

"On the 17th issue, Duyu's "Journey to the Last Days" was published, and in the 18th issue, "The 15-year-old High School Male Teacher in a Girls' School" began to be serialized." Deputy editor-in-chief Zeng Yue announced the results of the serialization meeting after walking out of the conference room.

Huh?

Wang Wenhong's eyelids twitched twice, as if he had been punched in the chest.

What about "Spirit of Chess"? Wouldn't it really "drown"?

Wang Wenhong was dazed, and stood up from his seat. Before he could speak, he saw Shang Haozhi coming out of the meeting room with a gloomy face, with an envelope under his arm, which should contain name.

broken! Could it be the name of "Soul of Chess"?

Wang Wenhong suddenly felt a chill down his back.

Shang Haozhi looked around, and his eyes fell on Wang Wenhong who stood up, "Xiao Wang, come with me."

"oh."

Wang Wenhong didn't know what happened in the conference room, but he always felt that it was not a good thing.

Xu Jie was not in the mood to sarcastically, seeing Wang Wenhong followed Shang Haozhi out of the editorial office, he immediately turned the swivel chair 180 degrees, and said to the long-haired middle-aged man, "Leader, what's going on with "Soul of Chess"? "

Jian Xiaomei also pricked up her ears, Ye Hexu must be interested in whether "Soul of Chess" will be serialized.

The long-haired middle-aged man stroked the stubble on his chin, opened his mouth, and said, "It's hard to say."

"..."

Xu Jie rolled his eyes, saying and not saying, exactly the same.

Wang Wenhong followed Shang Haozhi and entered the elevator in a desperate manner. His eyes aimed at the envelope under Shang Haozhi's armpit. As expected, the word "Soul of Chess" was written on it. Then, his eyes moved to Shang Haozhi's face again, but I found that his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something.

"That... Mr. Shang, I'll just tell Mr. Shen the result of the meeting. You don't have to go there. But... Mr. Shen doesn't have to change the name." Wang Wenhong was conflicted in his heart, but he still spoke out.

Shang Haozhi opened his eyes and looked at Wang Wenhong in surprise, "Ah? Change the name? Why do you want to change it?"

"Didn't "Soul of Chess" fail?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

"It didn't pass? You didn't let it pass?" Shang Haozhi asked back.

Wang Wenhong felt a little dizzy when he heard this.

"Didn't you just announce the 17th and 18th new serial comics? There is no "Soul of Chess"." Wang Wenhong explained.

"Oh, you're talking about this. You don't even know when the original manuscript of "Soul of Chess" will be released, how can I arrange it?" Shang Haozhi said angrily.

The muscles on Wang Wenhong's face instantly stiffened.

Can't you tell me in advance? It made me think that "Soul of Chess" hadn't passed, it really scared me to death.

"But Mr. Shen has a request. There must be a professional chess player as a consultant. I just found a dojo, but the other party hasn't given me an answer yet." Wang Wenhong took a breath to drive away the frustration in his heart.

Interlaced like a mountain, he can think of many good ideas in the comics industry, but he has never touched Go, even if he wants to find a dojo or a chess player, there is no way.

The elevator door opened, and the two stepped out of the elevator.

"I know, that's why I want you to go to the dojo with me. Tomorrow and the next two days, we must determine the time for the completion of the manuscript, and I must determine which issue it will be serialized in." Shang Haozhi urged.

"Hmm... By the way, Mr. Shang, which ashram are we going to?" Wang Wenhong asked suspiciously.

"Xie Chengbo Go Dojo."

Wang Wenhong grinned, "Mr. Xie Chengbo? Mr. Shang, you have a lot of contacts."

"I learned Go for a short period of time before, and we met at that time." Shang Haozhi said softly

Xie Chengbo is considered a relatively good chess player in the domestic circle. He once won the title of "Tianyuan".

Just considering the cost of the venue, "Xie Qiuyu's Go Dojo" is not in the urban area of ​​Hongchuan, but in a place outside the suburbs. If you take the subway, it will take two hours.

On the road, Wang Wenhong drove the car, and Shang Haozhi guided the way.

Wang Wenhong called Shen Xin, and called Shen Xin who was about to eat into the car. Shen Xin could only buy a few breads first, and after getting in the car, each person distributed two.

"Mr. Shen, are you not in a hurry these days?" Shang Haozhi asked Shen Xin who was sitting in the back row.

"It's okay. I went back to the sea of ​​clouds and went through the withdrawal procedures. Now I'm practicing my painting skills while waiting for news." Shen Xin explained.

"This is the situation now. "Soul of Chess" has passed the serialization ← "Soul of Chess" can be serialized earlier, but I also know the difficulties of Mr. Shen. So, today we will visit the 'Xie Chengbo Go Dojo' and finalize the matter of consultants as soon as possible. Of course, I also hope that Teacher Shen can confirm the delivery date in the next two days, so that the magazine can also arrange for the works to be cut in half." Shang Haozhi said.

"No problem." Shen Xin nodded.

After driving for more than two hours, the car stopped outside a five-story building.

At this time, it was already dark, but the building was brightly lit.

Shang Haozhi led Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong into the dojo, and the staff immediately stopped the three of them.

"Hi, I want to meet Xie Chengbo Jiuduan, I have asked him out before." Shang Haozhi explained.

"Not now, the teacher is seeing a guest." The staff directly rejected Shang Haozhi's request.

"When will it end?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Half an hour faster, an hour slower." The staff said.

Shang Haozhi glanced at his watch, it was only eight o'clock, and it would be around nine o'clock when he saw Xie Chengbo.

It’s so hard to come here, if you go back, it’s not worth it. After a little discussion, the three decided to wait for an hour.
