Chapter 229 Low-Key

When Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong arrived at Junhao Hotel, the sky had completely dimmed.

The vehicles lined up and drove towards the entrance of the hotel at a very slow speed. It took almost half a minute to reach 20 meters.

When Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong got out of the car, they queued for nearly five minutes.

When the waiters on both sides saw Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong coming in, they bowed slightly and said, "Welcome."

Wang Wenhong gave these waiters a thumbs up, "Do it well."

Seeing Wang Wenhong, many waiters wrinkled their noses and looked disgusted.

Shen Xin coughed twice to cover up her laughter.

Needless to say, these people once "struggled" with Wang Wenhong, and now they revisit their old places, and Wang Wenhong made a little joke.

After entering the lobby of the hotel, someone specially guided them, and took the elevator to the 22nd floor.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, Shen Xin immediately felt the difference on this floor—on both sides of the corridor, there were posters of various comics. Since he won the Best Comics Award, he is the protagonist tonight, so there are quite a few promotional posters, followed by "Abyss of Hunting" and "Soul of Chess".

In the hall at the end of the corridor, many people came and went. After Wang Wenhong brought Shen Xin into the hall, he went to find other editors.

Shen Xin looked around, there were quite a few people, but not many people she knew.

In fact, Shen Xin has been serialized on "omi future" for more than half a year, but the cartoonists who have talked to him are Ye Hexu and Han Ye, and Han Ye is too introverted, Shen Xin and him do not have much interaction .

As for Wang Yunze, at most they only met twice.

At this time, the waiter came over with a plate full of drinks.

Shen Xin glanced at it. Whiskey, brandy, red wine, white wine... Mainstream drinks are basically available. He didn't drink alcohol much, so he took a glass of fruit juice.

"Is this the first time for you to come to this kind of occasion?" A voice suddenly came from behind Shen Xin.

He turned around, only to find that it was a young man he had never seen before. He was wearing a purple suit, his hair was neatly combed to the sides, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a hint of evil charm.

In comparison, Shen Xin's clothes were really shabby. The down jacket was taken away by Wang Wenhong just now, and she was only wearing a black shirt on her upper body, with jeans and sneakers underneath.

Hmm... Generally speaking, it doesn't really match the occasion.

But he didn't need to speak, and he wasn't the only one wearing this in the whole hall, so it wasn't a big problem.

"Uh... It's indeed the first time." Shen Xin blinked, completely ignorant of the young man in front of her.

"This kind of opportunity is very rare for us. However, you don't pay much attention to your own attire. Dress up a little, and you can build a good relationship with the editor. If you can make a good impression on the editor-in-chief or the deputy editor-in-chief, then It is very likely to be serialized in the future. This is my experience, and it is definitely useful." The young man gave a thumbs up.

"Ah?" Shen Xin looked at the eloquent person in front of her, a little confused.

The other party also looked kind, so Shen Xin could only follow the young man's words and say "thank you".

"You shouldn't be very old, right?"

"Just turned 20."

Shen Xin took a sip of juice,

He glanced around, wanting to find someone to come over to end this awkward chat, but he glanced around, but couldn't find anyone he knew.

"That's okay. I heard that this year, the magazine society is vigorously scouting for newcomers. As long as we have the ability, we may become popular."

"Really? I don't know yet."

Shen Xin really didn't know about this, he was usually busy with "Soul of Chess", and Wang Wenhong didn't want to bother him with these trivial matters.

"No, brother, your teacher is no good. He doesn't tell you such important things. Which teacher do you follow?" The young man asked curiously.

"Uh... Teacher Wang?" Shen Xin was not sure.

Wang Wenhong...does it count?

"Wang... Teacher Yunze?" The young man looked at Shen Xin in surprise.

"Of course not, I just met him twice." Shen Xin said honestly.

"Huh..." The young man's expression eased, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway, this competition is very important to us. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Jie. I won the Excellence Award in the competition, so I have the opportunity to come to the annual meeting."

Excellence Award? What award is that?

After Shen Xin drank the juice, she put the empty glass on the tray when the waiter passed by.

"My name is Shen Xin, and I'm painting now...ahem..." Shen Xin really felt that he was having an awkward chat, and the enthusiasm of the young people made him somewhat unwilling to hurt the other party's confidence.

Can anyone "save" him?

Shen Xin looked around, Ye Hexu walked out of the crowd after talking with several middle-aged people, met his eyes, and greeted him with a smile.

call……

Finally saved.

Just as Shen Xin raised her hand to respond, Li Jie patted him on the shoulder.

"That's Teacher Ye, the reviewer of short comics not long ago, let's go, I'll introduce you to him."

No, although I don't know many cartoonists, Ye Hexu is one of them.

Shen Xin looked at Li Jie who was walking towards Ye Hexu in a hurry, feeling quite helpless, this guy is really a treasure,

Sighing, Shen Xin could only follow Li Jie towards Ye Hexu.

"Hello, Teacher Ye."

After saying hello, Li Jie warmly extended his right hand.

Ye Hexu raised his head and looked at Li Jie with a little embarrassment, "Who are you?"

"Eh?" Li Jie was taken aback, with a stiff smile on his face, "Teacher, my name is Li Jie, the author of the painting "When Love is in Progress" not long ago."

Ye Hexu folded his hands on his chest, pondered for a long time, then raised his head to look at Li Jie, "I remember killing this short story."

"No, Teacher Ye, I won the Excellence Award." Li Jie quickly explained.

"That's why the editorial department picked up this manga after I was killed." Ye Hexu didn't intend to give the other party any face.

Li Jie opened his mouth, but his mind went blank.

Shen Xin felt a little sympathetic to Li Jie, if he was said that way, he would probably find a quiet corner to stay all night.

"Ahem... Teacher Ye, it's also possible that you forgot." Shen Xin blinked at Ye Hexu, the others are newcomers anyway, don't blow his confidence away.

"Ah? Oh, there is such a possibility, maybe you forgot?" Ye Hexu's eyes were erratic, and he seemed to pick up Shen Xin's words, "By the way, Mr. Shen, "Soul of Chess" is recent and interesting. I feel that "Soul of Chess" "It's about to take off."

"Uh...you're a little smart." Shen Xin laughed.

"Of course, my eyes allow me to observe all the details of the manga." Ye Hexu stretched out his scissors and pointed at his eyes.

Li Jie looked at the two of them in surprise, "Ms. Ye, do you know him? Wait... "Soul of Chess"?"

Li Jie remembered this cartoon.

"Don't you know him? The author of "Soul of Chess" and "S", just won the best newcomer award at the comic festival last year...Mr. Shen, are you being too low-key?" Ye Hexu asked Shen Xin.

"Really?" Shen Xin felt helpless.

He's not a star who relies on his face to make a living, so why is he so high-profile?
