Chapter 237: Amusement Park Riot (Part 1)

On Saturday, Shen Jie wanted to pull Meng Huo out, but Meng Huo was unwilling, but unfortunately...

"You don't want to stay at home all day long!"

He was driven out by Li Qin with a broom. Meng Huo was a little helpless. When he was busy with work before, Li Qin said that he was too hard, but now she is not busy, but she thinks she is too house.

"Here, hat." Standing next to Meng Huo, Shen Jie reached out and handed him a hat: "Let's go on a date!"

She said that going out with Meng Huo this time was a date, which is why Meng Huo was not very willing. However, Huadu was kicked out, and Meng Huo had to sigh and take his hat, and then walked out of the community.

"Auntie, thank you!"

Behind him, Shen Jie bent over to express his gratitude to Li Qin who was peeking out from the crack of the door, and then ran towards Meng Huo excitedly.

"How about we go to the playground today?"

Shen Jie ran up to Meng Huo, and looked at his slightly glowing face in the rising sun, her heartbeat speeding up a bit.

"Today is the day when "Weekly Boutique" is on sale. I will buy this magazine first." Meng Huo replied absent-mindedly while typing on a mobile phone in his hand. He did not object, but what he said made Shen Jie dumbfounded: "You really never forget the comics."

But she likes men with goals. Compared with other boys of the same age, Meng Huo is full of charm. Although he was a little uncomfortable with the relationship, after getting used to it, Shen Jie found that this was also a kind of cuteness, and the indifference that Meng Huo occasionally showed made her a little addictive.

Xi Shi was in the lover's eyes, and Shen Jie had already sinked, and she herself understood, but this sense of sinking. She cannot and does not want to resist.

"Right. What are you doing with your phone?"

Shen Jie asked curiously.

"I texted your two roommates out."

Meng Huo put down his phone. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. At this moment, Shen Jie didn't know whether to hate him or to like him.

"You haven't been with them on vacation recently. Is this too much." On the road, Meng Huo continued to laugh: "I remember you were tired of being together all day, but now you abandon them all and don't worry about hurting them. Your feelings?"

Alice said that friendship between women is more difficult to obtain than between men. Shen Jie has two roommates who share the same values. Meng Huo doesn't want to separate them because of himself.

"What are you worried about?" But Shen Jie was dissatisfied. She pouted: "I'm with them five days a week. I've only been with you for less than two days. Why don't you worry about our relationship getting worse?"

"..."

Meng Huo was silent. He couldn't say that he hoped that the relationship between the two would get worse, right?

Leaving Jiayuan District, the nearest bookstore is less than 500 meters away, and many people are already buying books in the bookstore. The most lively place is indeed the comics area. Meng Huo and the two lined up for more than ten minutes to buy "Weekly Boutique".

"Look now?"

Shen Jie asked after walking out of the bookstore.

"No, your roommates are all out. Now ask me where to meet." Meng Huo took out his mobile phone and saw the text message, and then dialed out the call: "Uncle Lin. I'm going out to play today... Well, I'm waiting at the gate of the community. you."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jie tilted her head: "The driver?"

"Ok."

"Hey, the bus is for private use, I want to squeeze the bus with you!"

Meng Huo smiled. He would not be so stupid to ask Shen Jie why he wanted to squeeze the bus, because it would certainly not be a good answer.

Moreover, he was not using a public car for private use, nor was it a government department. That car was originally his private car. The driver has been very idle these months, but he can receive the high salary from Phoenix Company, which is much more comfortable than drawing cartoons.

The only inconvenience is that he needs to be on call, but Meng Huo rarely yells. He is very lucky to be his driver.

Five minutes later, the car arrived. Meng Huo first picked up the two girls, and then set off for the playground. As the number of people increased, Meng Huo felt that the atmosphere had changed. It was originally a date for two people, but now it seems to be a gathering of young people, with a youthful atmosphere.

He likes this breath.

The playground on Saturday was very lively and crowded everywhere, but the four people were also very happy to play. After tired of playing, they sat in a drink stand to rest, Meng Huo took out "Weekly Boutique" and prepared to read it.

"Meng Huo..."

He hadn't torn the package, and a timid voice sounded.

Meng Huo looked up, and Shen Jie’s roommate Li Yu shyly avoided his eyes. Although he had known his identity for a long time, the two roommates still could not completely let go of their hands and feet. Sometimes they would be nervous when calling Meng Huo’s name.

"Is there a problem?"

Meng Huo's smile softened, and Shen Jie who saw this scene took a sip of milk tea and cursed cunning in her heart. Meng Huo would never talk to her so tenderly.

"Yes, that... It said that you are going to use two comics to deal with Duke Anthony's "Sherlock"." Li Yu pointed to "Weekly Boutique" and asked curiously: "How exactly did you compare? Why did you compare it with the magazine? related?"

Shen Jie and Han Xuan's ears were also erected, yes, they still don't know the specific content of this competition.

"This is more complicated to say. We compare sales, but not single sales." Meng Huo pondered for a moment, organized the language, and slowly explained: "First of all, it is time. This test starts with the serialization of "The Detective Sherlock Sequel". , Two weeks after the release of the comic booklet, um...that is to say, the booklet of "The Detective Son" was released for two weeks, and the competition was over.

"Then the specific content is the comparison of sales..."

The sales comparison between Anthony and Meng Huo is not just a single-book comparison, it is an all-round comparison, including the sales of the magazines where the two are located. This condition was formulated by Zhongxia Company, and Meng Huo did not know the specific reference standard when formulating it.

But he can roughly understand Zhong Xia's concerns, because Meng Huo would have a great advantage over the pamphlet. The sales volume of single-page books has always been far better than that of comic magazines, and Meng Huo is China's first cartoonist whose single-page books exceed 10 million. Zhongxia has no confidence to fight him.

In terms of magazines, Zhongxia has a great advantage. By joining the magazine standard, Zhongxia can widen the sales gap between the two in the early stage. In the end, even if the single book loses to the two cartoons of Meng Huo, the winner will still be Zhongxia.

The current situation is also developing from this. Although "Weekly Youth" is pressing harder, but "Weekly Boutique" wins a part of the sales every week, the gap so far has added up to nearly 10 million copies.

Except for "Five Centimeters Per Second", Meng Huo's single-line sales have not yet reached this figure. This means that Zhongxia Company has used the magazine to make up for the two-to-one disadvantage of the final pamphlet. If Meng Huo does not make changes in time, the gap will grow bigger and bigger.

"It's not fair!" After Meng Huo finished speaking carefully, Han Xuan said angrily: "There is still so long time for the magazine competition, then you will definitely lose?"

"No, not necessarily..."

Meng Huo shook his head. In fact, he is indeed at a disadvantage. The new magazine is a monthly magazine, but he has great confidence in One Piece. There is a decisive difference between this comic and his previous works, and this difference makes him full of expectations.

"One Piece" will definitely be his most popular work. It can be released twice before the booklet of "Son of Detective" is released, and these two times can make up for the magazine's two-month sales gap.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Meng Huo won't lose." Shen Jie patted Han Xuan on the head: "Don't crow's mouth, he still has new works yet to come out!"

She has read "One Piece~lightnovelpub.net~ and is very confident about it."

"But if you lose, Meng Huo, you have to go to England..."

Li Yu asked.

"Well, there is nothing wrong with going to the UK once." Meng Huo nodded, and Shen Jie was startled by his words: "You don't want to go to the UK?"

"I haven't been abroad, so I really want to see the scenery in Europe." Meng Huo frowned slightly: "But... I think traveling is more suitable. I don't want to lose in this competition."

Shen Jie's face lit up: "Then Meng Huo, we will be together from now on..."

"Brother He Xi, let's go to England together in the future!" A childish voice said Shen Jie's words first. Meng Huo's body suddenly stiffened. He lowered his head and watched a girl pulling the corner of his clothes.

"I came to the playground with my mother!"

The little princess of that dessert shop, Ling Shuang appeared again. (To be continued...)
