Chapter 19

In the next two days, Alice and Meng Huo bought the missing furniture, including the tools needed by cartoonists such as tables and brushes, and then set aside a room for the studio.

Meng Huo planned to buy a computer, but Li Qin stopped him: "you can't spend all the money. You have to keep the tuition and the cost of tutoring!"

At present, Meng Huo has only collected one month's contribution fee. Although the contribution fee will arrive next month, he still has to deduct the rental money from it. Without leaving any money, Li Qin is not sure.

The tuition fee of Ninghai No.1 middle school is 7000 per year, but Meng Huo's situation is special. He has to focus on comics, so he can only ask another tutor to help him. Although Meng Huo didn't think it was necessary, Li Qin was very tough.

"Good..."

Meng Huo listened to her mother, but Alice was surprised.

"Tutor? Don't invite me. I'm Meng Huo's tutor! " She touched her head and blushed: "look at my memory, I seem to have forgotten to say that tutoring Meng Huo is also my job."

She graduated from Yanjing University. She is more than a tutor. Meng Huo understood the role of Alice. He had long wondered why there was an exclusive editor. Cartoonists are not babies. They don't need 1:1 editing assistance. This arrangement of Phoenix company is very unreasonable.

But with tutoring, it's different. Meng Huo's situation is special. He needs to pay attention to both study and caricature at the same time. With Alice leading, he can reasonably allocate his time.

But Alice's previous experience as an agent is very useful.

"Sister, are you a tutor?" Li Qin is both surprised and happy. She believes in Alice's ability, but is it too much trouble for her: "well, we'll give you some more money. How much do you need..."

"No, no!" Alice quickly refused: "this is my job, the company has given adequate remuneration."

In fact, she envies the company's care for Meng Huo from the bottom of her heart. She was outstanding when she was young. However, apart from her parents, no one ever spent money on her. In the final analysis, it's still a matter of strength. Meng Huo creates benefits for Phoenix company and naturally enjoys preferential treatment.

The next day, Meng Huo, who had finished his chores, accompanied Alice to the Phoenix Mansion.

When he was still at work, he caused a sensation as soon as he entered the editorial department.

"Teacher He Xi, isn't that a pity for the teacher?"

"Get the water!"

"Mr. He Xi, I'm Zhou Shang, editor of group 3. Here's my business card. If you need any help in the future..."

"Teacher He Xi, when are you free to meet other cartoonists? They all want to meet you!"

The editors were enthusiastic, pouring tea and handing out business cards. Alice felt uncomfortable. She stood beside Meng Huo and stretched out her hands to stop the enthusiasm of the editors.

"Can you stop playing in front of me? I'm the one he's blaming now!"

Alice's tall, she was angry, the editors have no action.

As a matter of fact, many editors have different ideas about this new editor. When the editors of the magazine saw the popularity of Detective Conan, they launched a fierce competition. As a result, none of them became Meng Huo's responsible editor - instead, they were robbed by a woman.

But the result is fair. Alice is beautiful and charming. It's better to be robbed by her than other colleagues. And with a girl in the office, many editors feel comfortable.

"Now, Alice, don't be angry. Let's go."

One editor came out and the others nodded.

Alice took Meng Huo to find Ye Xiong. The editor in chief saw what happened just now and said with a smile: "it seems that you get along well."

The most important thing for the editor in charge and the cartoonist is to get along well. Ye Xiong is relieved at this point. He begins to talk about the topic. The main reason why Meng Huo is called here is that detective Conan is going to sell comic books.

Comic book is a book that reprints the content of the same comic book from the serial publication to a comic book.

"I saw the poster, too."

Meng Huo saw the poster on the subway and wondered: "is the number of words in Detective Conan enough?"

For a long time, "Detective Conan" has been serialized in the magazine at the speed of one Monday. Meng Huo doesn't know how many words it takes to write a single book.

"Enough."

Ye Xiong nodded without hesitation: "now that the cartoon is normalizing, the company has decided to strike while the iron is hot. When it serializes the ninth story, it will launch the first eight story booklets. The estimated retail price is 20."

Chinese ordinary comic book is ten to fourteen words, eight words is less, but the price is cheap.Meng Huo and ye Xiong had a discussion. He didn't find anything wrong, so he agreed. Comic books are on sale very soon, just after the beginning of school, in early September.

In addition to this, ye Xiong also asked Meng Huo about his assistant. Many professional cartoonists rely on assistants to help. Although Meng Huo is efficient, ye Xiong suggests that he hire two assistants to help him, considering that he still has to pay attention to his studies.

However, Meng Huo refused to hire an assistant because he needed the cartoonist to pay for it. He is clear about his state, learning is not difficult for him at all, and he can easily update his words once a week.

"Wait until I get two comics in series, and then I'll hire an assistant."

Meng Huo said that even if there was an idea in his mind, the two cartoons needed great physical strength, so he had to ask his assistant for help.

However, this sentence shocked both Alice and ye Xiong.

"Two comics? Meng Huo, you have this plan! " Ye Xiong is particularly nervous: "don't try to be brave, just draw a good cartoon."

He is very worried about Meng Huo's complacency. It is difficult for ordinary people to serialize two comics at the same time. Even if they support them, the quality of comics will decline. Ye Xiong doesn't want to see this situation.

Meng Huo understood his worry and didn't say anything.

"I know, it's not just an example!"

Ye Xiong was relieved.

"Well, that's what I came to you for today, and you can draw in peace later." He said something to Meng Huo, then looked at Alice and said, "Alice, you'll be in charge of all the work in the future. If you have any questions, please discuss with me."

These jobs were originally Alice's, but ye Xiong thought that she and Meng Huo had only been together for two days, so he was not at ease.

"I know."

Alice didn't mind, she just entered the company, there are many unfamiliar things, also need to learn from ye Xiong.

After the discussion, Alice wants to stay in the editorial department to deal with the documents. Meng Huo goes home alone. Thinking that he doesn't have to pay for tutoring, he goes by the way to buy a computer and do broadband.

Things seem to be going well, but there is a shadow coming quietly
