Chapter 164: Opportunity and unwillingness

The dialogue between Shang Haozhi and Yan Fei was fruitless, but it solved his other problem-the choice between hotel and home.

Since both Shen Xin and Yan Fei mentioned Wang Wenhong, he felt it necessary to meet Wang Wenhong.

Therefore, returning to Junhao Hotel became his best choice.

Shang Haozhi returned to the hotel, it was almost twelve o'clock, but the hotel was still open.

The comics festival has just ended. As the office and lodging place of the comics festival jury, the business hours will be postponed indefinitely-although in normal times, Junhao Hotel is already open 24 hours.

Shang Haozhi came to the front desk, and the front desk staff immediately asked what he wanted.

"Let Wang Wenhong see me."

"Wang Wenhong?" The front desk staff was taken aback for a moment, and didn't expect who this person was for a while.

"It's your staff, who does the logistics, let him go to the coffee on the first floor...well, forget it, let him come to my room to find me."

Just after drinking black tea, Shang Haozhi didn't want to deal with coffee anymore.

The front desk staff heard Shang Haozhi's words and nodded repeatedly.

Back to his room, Shang Haozhi untied his tie, washed his face a little, and heard the doorbell ring.

Opening the door, he saw a young man wearing glasses and red overalls standing in front of him.

He can be sure that he has definitely seen this young man.

"Are you Wang Wenhong?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Yes. Are you looking for something to do with me?" Wang Wenhong said softly.

"Don't pretend, I am not looking for you, but you should be looking for me?" Shang Haozhi turned around and took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator, threw them to Wang Wenhong, and sat on the sofa, "Take me to play," Isn’t it interesting?"

Wang Wenhong went to the living room and put the Coke on the coffee table, "I didn't tease you."

"Then what is "Y\'s"? All the editor-in-chief's bedrooms have "Y\'s". Why is there no room for me alone?" Shang Haozhi couldn't help asking.

"You are wrong. The three editor-in-chief rooms of ComicFuture, MangaFly, and Manga are not available."

From Shang Haozhi's series of questions, Wang Wenhong can infer that Yan Fei or Shen Xin recommended him to Shang Haozhi, and now it's time for the showdown to win or lose. Therefore, when he speaks, he has no scruples.

"I want to know why."

"The truth?"

"Ok."

"The three of you do not have the right to vote for the'Newcomer Award', so your opinion on "Y\'s" is irrelevant."

"..."

Shang Haozhi held the Coke and wanted to collapse the Coke can.

Speaking is too ugly, what is meant by "irrelevant"! ?

Although the real situation is true.

"The number of comics provided by the hotel is fixed. I must make full use of these comics. If you put them in your bedroom, you won’t have to put them in other places."

Shang Haozhi nodded slightly, and what Wang Wenhong said was also the truth.

"Besides, you haven't read "Y\'s", you actually don't blame me. Although you don't have it in your bedroom, there are separate copies of "Y\'s" in the meeting room, lounge, and dining room. But you, still The editor-in-chief of two other magazines always felt that "Y\'s" would not be on the stage." Wang Wenhong clenched his fists, his eyes suddenly pierced, "Facts have proved that the quality of comics is above all else. As long as you have been in the comics industry. For some time, you will know how much progress "Y's" has made."

Shang Haozhi touched his mustache, which was what he cared about most. It is not uncommon for a newcomer to draw an excellent comic. But Shen Xin's speed of improvement surprised him.

The style of the first volume is a bit immature, but by the fifth volume, it is already quite mature and of high quality.

This is the most important reason for Shang Haozhi's heart.

Deep in thought, he glanced at Wang Wenhong again, "I heard that you were also an editor before, why didn't you do it?"

"My author lost to Teacher Shen. I think I should take this responsibility."

"Then why don't you vote for Jane anymore?"

"Voted. Your magazine has never given it." Wang Wenhong rolled his eyes. If you wanted it, I would spend so much effort.

Shang Haozhi's hand suddenly pressed hard, and the can made a crisp sound.

"You said you submitted your resume?"

"Ok."

I do not know how?

Shang Haozhi was depressed.

"Well, let me ask you another question. Why do you want to help "Y\'s"? You just said that your author was defeated by Shen Xin, and you should hate him."

"Editor-in-chief, I am an adult. What affects the relationship between me and the other party is not winning or losing, but interests." Wang Wenhong explained.

"What are the interests between you and him?"

"First, I am from Yunhai, and "Y\'s" is a comic from Yunhai Magazine. If there are no other conflicts of interest, of course I have to support "Y\'s". In fact, there is really no other factor that interferes with me. Second, I want to be the editor of Teacher Shen, so I must climb up as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to cooperate with him."

Shang Haozhi finally squeezed the can, and Coke dripped onto the carpet.

"Interesting..." Shang Haozhi's mouth curled up, "but I think Teacher Shen and Miss Yan will still cooperate. Do you think you can be his editor?"

"I can only say that there is a chance." Wang Wenhong is also not sure, "If the magazine has enough sincerity."

Shang Haozhi took out the paper and wiped off the Coke in his hand, "ComicFuture has an editor slot, you can do it during the trial period. Later, I will choose between you and Miss Yan."

"Oh... If you choose one of the two, then I don't want this position." Wang Wenhong spread his hands.

"Why?" Shang Haozhi asked in surprise.

"She is a girl and is more suitable for a big company than me... Moreover, I had the opportunity to work with Teacher Shen before, but I gave up on my own, some losses, I can bear it. Besides, if I take Yan Fei away Position, there really is no chance to cooperate with Teacher Shen." Wang Wenhong sighed, it seems that the development of the matter is not in line with his expectations.

After bowing to Shang Haozhi, Wang Wenhong turned and left. At the moment he opened the door, Shang Haozhi suddenly stopped him.

"Wait."

"Huh?" Wang Wenhong turned his head in surprise.

"I see. If you are really good, I will consider both of you at the same time. But if you can't meet my requirements, then please give up your position. "ComicFuture" does not support idlers." Shang Haozhi said in a deep voice. Said.

"No problem." Wang Wenhong said categorically, but he let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

The negotiations with Wang Wenhong made Shang Haozhi's mood a little better, but Jian Xiaomei's mood was extremely bad.

After the comic festival, she couldn't find Ye Hexu.

He couldn't answer the phone and couldn't find him everywhere. Jian Xiaomei even ran to the Jiayi Hotel in one breath and asked the waiter to open Ye Hexu's room, but found that there was no one in the room.

At this time, Jian Xiaomei realized that something was wrong.

She immediately took a taxi ~lightnovelpub.net~ to Ye Hexu's studio and contacted Ye Hexu's assistant. Finally, the middle-aged assistant told her that Ye Hexu was painting in the studio.

Only then did Jian Xiaomei's heart let go.

"This bastard, wait until I see him." Jian Xiao said with gritted teeth.

After waiting outside Ye Hexu's studio, Jian Xiaomei took a deep breath and emphasized that she must calm down and communicate with Ye Hexu in a calm mood as much as possible.

The assistant opened the door, Jian Xiaomei finally saw Ye Hexu, he was sitting on a chair, painting at his desk.

"Tell me when you come back. I am very worried about you." Jian Xiaomei walked to Ye Hexu's side, but Ye Hexu still did not answer her.

Jian Xiaomei subconsciously thought that Ye Hexu was wearing headphones, but the headphones were hanging around his neck.

"You..." Jian Xiaomei worried, moving his gaze to the drawing in front of Ye Hexu, with two drops of water on it.

Jian Xiaomei panicked, "Teacher Ye, what's wrong with you?"

"Jian Xiaomei, what should I do?" Ye Hexu turned to look at Jian Xiaomei, biting her lip stubbornly, but tears overflowed from the corner of her eyes and slid across her cheeks, "I don't care about the newcomer award, but... I really don't want to lose to Teacher Shen... "

Jian Xiaomei didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only stroke his back. After a long time, he said, "You did a good job, really."
