Chapter 502: Thoughts

"What do you need the magazine to do?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Foreign page. When will Mr. Wang serialize, you tell me, I want to adjust the layout of the plot, there may be a few chapters, reaching 40 pages." Shen Xin explained.

"Even so, it's impossible to beat Wang Yunze, right?" Shang Haozhi reminded.

"I can only take one step at a time. If Mr. Wang is serialized recently, I may be able to rely on the popularity of "The Soul of Chess" to surpass his new work. Now, it's hard to say." Shen Xin shook her head helplessly, "As for the single volume... just After watching the animation, can it be achieved? Fortunately, it is an extended year, and there is still room for choice.”

"Okay, if I know when he will serialize, I will tell you. The page will also find it for you." Shang Haozhi agreed.

Looking at Shang Haozhi's expression, Wang Wenhong sighed inwardly, this is Shen Xin's privilege, and it is impossible for anyone else to get "Comic Future" except Shen Xin.

Of course, this is also decided by the opponent.

If the opponent wasn't Wang Yunze, Shen Xin probably wouldn't attach so much importance to it.

At this time, Xi Muhan came up with three plates of small cakes, each with a cup of black tea.

The pastry is small and exquisite. Strawberries, blueberries, pineapples and other fruits are placed on the white cream, and then poured with rich chocolate, which immediately attracted the attention of three people.

Digging a spoonful of cake with the dining spoon, the fluffy cream spread in the mouth as soon as it entered the mouth, stimulating the taste buds of the three of them.

"How is it?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin expectantly.

"Not bad." Shen Xin nodded.

"Xiaohan's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

"I just signed up for a cooking class recently." Xi Muhan smiled slightly, took the tray, and walked down the stairs.

"Whoever marries him in the future will be a blessing." Shang Haozhi sighed.

"Ahem..."

Shen Xin was drinking tea, when she suddenly heard Shang Haozhi say this, she choked.

"Are you okay?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"No... I didn't pay attention when drinking tea.

"Shen Xin glanced at Xi Muhan who was walking towards the kitchen, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

So what if the relationship is good? In the end, we still have to separate.

It just corresponds to the sentence: If there is no fate, why do we get together; if there is fate, how will the fate come to an end.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin could only sigh silently.

After sending Shang Haozhi away, Shen Xin turned to look at Wang Wenhong, a little surprised, "Aren't you leaving?"

Wang Wenhong shook his head, "Do you have anything to say?"

"ah?"

"Since you said you would take back the proposal of 'seventy-three openings', you should have a plan in mind, right?"

"Hehe..." Shen Xin laughed dryly, but remained silent.

"Also, you didn't specify the conditions for your victory..." Seeing that Shen Xin didn't answer, Wang Wenhong continued.

Shen Xin looked around and saw that the assistants were all looking at him, so she coughed lightly, "Shall we go up and talk?"

"Okay." Wang Wenhong nodded.

The two sat back on the sofa on the second floor again. Shen Xin crossed her fingers and put them on her lap, looking at Wang Wenhong who was sitting opposite.

"What do you want to say?"

"Did you choose to leave "Comic Future" after "Smelting Steel" ended?" Wang Wenhong asked back.

"Why should I leave such a big platform as 'Comic Future'?" Shen Xin shook her head.

Wang Wenhong snorted coldly, "The two of us have cooperated for so long... No, at the beginning, we were even enemies. I know that you have room for doing things. But, as you said just now, 10 million copies were sold in 12 months ...How difficult is this, I don't need to say more, right?"

"It's huge. But... don't people just want to push themselves? If "Smelting Steel" can sell 10 million copies in 12 months, it will probably be the most powerful manga in China."

"This is the strangest part! You should have considered the consequences of "Steel Refining" not selling 10 million copies, right? In that case, you will be at a disadvantage in the game with the magazine."

Wang Wenhong's eyes were piercing, and Shen Xin rarely saw such a serious Wang Wenhong.

"These words don't seem to be what the editor should say?" Shen Xin laughed.

"I don't care. The contract expires in the second half of next year. I'm still considering whether to renew the contract with the magazine." Wang Wenhong laughed.

"This is a matter between you and the magazine, I can't make the decision." Shen Xin shrugged.

"But I want to know, if the sales volume of "Steel Refining" does not reach 10 million copies, what would you choose? Stop signing with "Comic Future" and choose Duoman.com?" Wang Wenhong asked curiously.

"The next one... I haven't made up my mind about the next one, so I'm not sure about my future choice. Don't worry, if there are no accidents, "Smelting Steel" can be drawn for another three years. Next year, your contract with the magazine will expire. If you are still interested, we can talk again." Shen Xin laughed.

"Worry about me?"

"No. You are still a member of the magazine, and I don't want to embarrass you."

"Then I'm resigning now."

"Don't be like this. If you really want to help me, just think about it, how can "Smelting Steel" achieve a sales volume of 10 million copies a year? I'm serious."

Wang Wenhong looked at Shen Xin. Although Shen Xin had a smile on his face, his eyes showed determination.

"Okay, then wait until the contract expires next year, and I'll talk to you again."

After Wang Wenhong left, Xi Muhan came up with black tea and placed it beside Shen Xin's workbench.

"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?" Xi Muhan asked.

"Yeah, I have a lot of things on my mind. There are present and future." Shen Xin took a sip of black tea lightly.

"Do you... want to say it?" Xi Muhan whispered.

Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, looked up at Xi Muhan who was revealing the innocence all over her body, and shook her head slightly, "It's not on my mind to say it."

Xi Muhan pursed his lips, his face was a little dissatisfied, "What's there to be proud of, who hasn't got anything to worry about?"

"..."

Shen Xin thought about it, and Xi Muhan was really right.

Everyone has something on their minds.

Shen Xin had it, Xi Muhan had it, Bao Jiyi had it, especially when Shang Haozhi told him Shen Xin's words, he didn't make a sound, and thought for three or four minutes before asking: "What does Teacher Shen mean."

"It's very clear. He accepted all your requests. When he completes the two conditions you said, I hope you will follow them."

"What if I don't answer?" Bao Jiyi asked back.

"Maybe he will leave?"

"The problem is, I don't even know what his conditions are... Isn't he doing too much?" Bao Jiyi said angrily.

"It's too much. But I think it's too much to let "Smelting Steel" complete the sales of 10 million copies in one postponed year." Shang Haozhi's answer was also very straightforward.

"Old Shang, who do you support?" Bao Jiyi rolled his eyes.

"This is a matter between the two of you. I don't care about it. When the time comes, don't push this matter to me. Chairman Bao, I think no matter what Mr. Shen chooses in the future, it will be a win-win situation. It was serialized on Comic Future, if Mr. Shen can really do the two things you said, "Steel Refining" will probably hit the ceiling of Huaxia comics."

""Smelting Steel"...is it really that powerful?" Bao Jiyi asked suspiciously.

"I trust Teacher Shen." Shang Haozhi nodded.

Bao Jiyi nodded slightly, "Let's see how far he can go? If you can really achieve these two points, then you might as well listen to his request."
