Chapter 304: Trough

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Wang Wenhong blinked his eyes.

Yan Fei's words were far beyond his expectations.

"Ahem, I said, sometimes, editors don't have the right to speak!"

"Nonsense, you don't have the right to speak? What kind of editor are you still doing? I'll call Teacher Shen!"

Shen Xin quickly took out her cell phone and turned it off.

Not long after, Yan Fei's phone rang again, and Wang Wenhong bit the bullet and answered the phone.

"what happened again?"

"No one answered Teacher Shen's phone. What's going on?"

"Uh..." Wang Wenhong glanced at Shen Xin, but when he saw him waving his hands, he coughed dryly, "Mr. Shen...well, should he be asleep? The quality of "Soul of Chess" is very high recently, and Mr. Shen is quite tired."

"It's only 7 o'clock now...forget it, tell him to pay attention to his body. Also, tell Mr. Shen that I am the editor in charge of "Gentlemen in Disguise", and tell him not to lose."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Wenhong heaved a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Shen Xin again, he showed helplessness.

"I said, Mr. Shen, are there people you are afraid of?"

"What do you know? I'm just too lazy to explain." Shen Xin yawned and said, "Sometimes, the less you explain, the better the effect."

Wang Wenhong glanced at Shen Xin without curiosity, "By the way, just now Yan Fei said that "Gentleman in Cross-Dress" is a comic written by her author."

""Gentleman in Cross-dress"?" Shen Xin raised her head and thought for a while, she was very unfamiliar with this comic, "Is it very powerful?"

"This is the signature manga of "MangaFly". It is currently the second place in the 'Best Long Manga Award', behind "Soul of Chess"...I said, Mr. Shen, don’t you know your opponent?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead , depressed.

"Even the time to sleep is squeezed out, how can I have time to understand other people?" Shen Xin smiled wryly.

Wang Wenhong blinked his eyes, he was at a loss for words, because what Shen Xin said was also true.

Since you don't know... then you don't know, right?

"I hope Sister Yan can achieve something, I guess she needs this award even more."

"Mr. Shen! We need it too!" Wang Wenhong corrected, "No, Mr. Shen, I found that you are really not very keen on this award..."

Shen Xin thought for a while and explained: "Probably because you don't have the heart to take care of the comic festival?"

Shen Xin is not a Buddhist youth, but as long as it is a competition, there will be upsets. Many things are out of control.

Moreover, the selection time of the "Manga Ceremony" should coincide with the low tide period of "Soul of Chess". Whether the judges will be affected is not easy to say.

Due to so many reasons, Shen Xin wanted to ignore the comic festival as much as possible. What's more, there is no cartoonist who aims at the big prize at the beginning of creation, and it is fundamental to draw the cartoon well.

With this kind of thing, having it is icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

Wang Wenhong scratched his head, but Shen Xin was right. Now, he and Shen Xin's energy should be focused on the next few episodes of "Soul of Chess".

"Okay, don't chat. Eat first!" Xi Muhan came out of the kitchen and said to the person chatting.

Gao Hang took a sniff, smelled the fragrance, and looked happy.

Shen Xin also stood up, "Should we eat first? There is still a lot of work to do later."

"En." Wang Wenhong nodded and stood up.

With the word "discovery", because Zuo Wei made it clear that he "is running out of time", Xiaoshu's grades dropped to 6th place.

This is almost the worst result of "Soul of Chess" in recent months.

Subsequently, the two episodes of "Chasing" and "Small Trial" helped "Soul of Chess" to stop its decline. After "Chess of the Same Color" was published, "Soul of Chess" returned to the top three again.

Just when the editors thought that the performance of "Soul of Chess" had picked up, the three chapters "Shi Xingyang Retires", "Xiao Guang is an idiot" and "I Don't Want to Disappear" once again pulled the ranking of "Soul of Chess" to the bottom.

Especially in the chapter "I don't want to disappear", Xufang finds Xiaoguang and begs Xiaoguang to let him play chess with Xi.

why it's not me? Why just Xiaoguang?

Seeing Xu Fang's invitation to Xiaoguang,

In Zuo Wei's heart, a trace of jealousy arose—jealousy for the promising Xiaoguang.

His heart is full of longing for Go.

more importantly……

I don't want...to leave Xiaoguang, just like I didn't want to leave him back then.

Zuo Wei looked gloomy, and he remembered what the chess master he possessed had said to him a long time ago when he was dying.

I don't want to be separated from you, and we never thought that we would be separated next time.

but……

That's where the words come to an abrupt end.

Although this sentence has not been finished, the meaning has already been revealed.

"I was born before you were born, and I am already old when you were born. I am far away from you, and you are far away from me."

Exquisite storyboards, exquisite painting skills, and gorgeous pictures, combined with Zuo Wei's inner feelings, show the emotion of this story on paper.

But sometimes, the more exquisite the picture is, the more the reader can feel the artistic conception of the comic, and the sadder the reader's heart will be.

The plot may be very classic, and it will take a few years for readers to appreciate the essence of the work, but when readers see this episode for the first time, it is difficult to read it a second time in a short period of time.

After seeing this remark, the Internet also exploded.

"Please Mr. Shen, don't take Zuo Wei away, he is already very pitiful, really don't take him away—"

"In the future, I will buy the booklet and BD of "Soul of Chess"...as long as Zuo Wei doesn't leave."

"It's hard to see an interesting comic, and I don't want such a plot to appear."

"I want to cry..."

...

Readers express their feelings in the forum, without exception, they all don't want Zuo Wei to leave.

Letters from readers piled up on Wang Wenhong's desk.

Wang Wenhong looked at the letters from readers, feeling a little worried.

Although it has not been opened, it is not difficult to speculate on the reader's thoughts.

After thinking about it again and again, Wang Wenhong still decided to put away the letters from readers.

The more it is at this time, the less these factors can affect Shen Xin.

The ranking of the small book in this issue of "Soul of Chess" is very real, ranking eighth.

This is a ranking that "Soul of Chess" has never won.

Although the phrase "I don't want to disappear" has a low evaluation among readers, cartoonists have given it a very high evaluation.

"This kind of feeling... Only Mr. Shen can draw it." Ye Hexu sighed, and then shook his head slightly, "However, beautiful things are still not liked by the public. It's so difficult."

"Ms. Ye?" An assistant glanced at the message on the phone, his expression tensed and his tone trembled.

"Um?"

"The 'Best Comic Award of the Year' of the 'Comic Festival' was announced tonight... "Soul of Chess" was lost."

"Failed?" Ye Hexu was taken aback, then turned to look at the assistant.

"It's true! I don't know if it's because of the last few words... Anyway, I lost the election." The assistant quickly explained.

"Hehe...lost, okay." Ye Hexu laughed suddenly, "If it wasn't for "Soul of Chess", this award...wouldn't matter if you don't participate in it in the future."

Seeing the wry smile on Ye Hexu's face, the assistant also sighed inwardly.
