Chapter 235

On Saturday, Shen Jie wanted to pull Meng Huo out, but Meng Huo didn't want to. Unfortunately

"Don't stay at home all day long!"

He was driven out by Li Qin with a broom. Meng Huo was helpless. In the past, when she was busy with work, Li Qin said that he worked too hard, but now she was not busy, but she thought she was too homesick.

"Here, hat." Shen Jie stood beside Meng Huo 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 was the reason why Meng Huo was reluctant. However, after being driven out, Meng Huo took the hat with a sigh and walked out of the community.

"Auntie, thank you!"

Behind him, Shen Jie bows to Li Qin who peeps out from the crack of the door to express her gratitude, and then runs excitedly to Meng Huo.

"How about going to the playground today?"

Shen Jie ran to Meng Huo's side and looked at his face in the rising sun. His heart beat faster.

"Today is the day when the weekly boutique is on sale. I'll buy the magazine first." Meng Huo was typing with his mobile phone in his hand and gave an absent-minded reply. He didn't object, but what he said made Shen Jie laugh and cry: "you really can't forget comics all the time."

But she likes men with goals. Compared with other boys of the same age, Meng Huo is full of charm. Although he is not approachable to love, after getting used to it, Shen Jie finds that it is also a kind of cute point. Meng Huo's indifference occasionally makes her feel addicted.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Shen Jie has fallen, and she knows it, but she can't and doesn't want to resist it.

"By the way, what are you doing with your cell phone?"

Shen Jie asks curiously.

"I texted your two roommates out."

Meng Huo put down his cell phone and raised his mouth slightly. At this moment, Shen Jie didn't know whether she should hate him or like him.

"You haven't been with them during your holidays recently. Isn't that too much?" On the way, Meng Huo continued to smile: "I remember you used to get tired of being together all day. Now you've abandoned them. Don't you worry about hurting their feelings?"

Alice said that it is more difficult for women to get friendship than men. Shen Jie has two roommates with common values. Meng Huo doesn't want to separate them because of himself.

"What are you worried about?" But Shen Jie was dissatisfied, she tooted: "I stay with them five days a week, less than two days with you, why don't you worry about the deterioration of our relationship?"

“……”

Meng Huo is silent. He can't say that he wants their relationship to be worse?

Leaving Jiayuan community, the nearest bookstore is less than 500 meters. Many people are buying books in the bookstore. The most lively place was the cartoon area. Meng Huo and his wife lined up for more than ten minutes and bought the weekly boutique.

"Do you want to see it now?"

After walking out of the bookstore, Shen Jie asked.

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

Hang up the phone, Shen Jie crooked his head: "driver?"

"Well."

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

Meng Huo smiles. He is not stupid enough to ask Shen Jie why she wants to squeeze the bus, because it will not be a good answer.

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

The only inconvenience is that he needs to be on call, but Meng Huo seldom shouts. He is very lucky to be a driver.

Five minutes later, the car arrived. Meng Huo first picked up the two girls, and then the party set out for the playground. With the increase of the number of people, Meng Huo feels that the atmosphere has changed. It used to be a date for two people, but now it seems to be a gathering for young people, with a youthful atmosphere.

He likes the smell.

The playground on Saturday was very busy and crowded, but the four had a good time. After they were tired of playing, they sat on a drink stand to have a rest. Meng Huo took out the weekly boutique and was ready to read it.

"Meng Huo..."

He had not opened the package when a timid voice came out.

Meng Huo looks up, and Shen Jie's roommate Li Yu shyly avoids his eyes. Although he has known his identity for a long time, the two roommates still can't let go of their hands and feet completely. Sometimes they are nervous when they call Meng Huo's name."What can I do for you?"

Meng Huo's smile softened down. Seeing this scene, Shen Jie took a mouthful of milk tea and scolded cunning in her heart. Meng Huo would never talk to her so gently.

"Yes, that... It's said that you're going to use two comic books against Lord Anthony's Sherlock." Li Yu pointed to the "weekly boutique" and asked curiously: "how to compete? Why does it have to do with magazines? "

Shen Jie and Han Xuan's ears stand up. Yes, they don't know the details of the contest.

"It's more complicated to say. We are comparing the sales volume, but not the sales volume of a single book." Meng Huo pondered for a moment, organized his language, and slowly explained: "first of all, time. The contest started with the serial of Sherlock sequel and ended two weeks after the comic book was put on sale. Um... That is to say, the contest ended two weeks after the comic book was put on sale.

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

The sales competition between Anthony and Meng Huo is not only a competition of single books, but also a comprehensive competition, including the sales of the magazines where they are located. This condition was formulated by Zhongxia company, and Meng Huo didn't know the specific reference standard.

But he can understand the worries of Zhongxia, because Meng Huo will have a great advantage over the single edition. The sales volume of individual books has been far better than that of comic magazines, and Meng Huo is the first cartoonist in China whose individual books have exceeded ten million. Zhongxia has no confidence to fight against him.

In terms of magazines, Zhongxia has a great advantage. By joining the magazine standard, Zhongxia can expand the sales gap between the two in the early stage. In the end, even if the single edition loses to Meng Huo's two comic books, the winner is Zhongxia.

The current situation is also developing from this, although "weekly youth" is pressing forward step by step, but "weekly boutique" will win part of the sales every week, so far the gap has been close to 10 million.

This figure, in addition to Meng Huo's "speed five centimeters per second", the sales volume of other works have not yet reached. That is to say, Zhongxia company has used magazines to make up for the two-to-one disadvantage of the last single edition. If Meng Huo does not make changes in time, the gap will be bigger and bigger.

"It's not fair!" After Meng Huo finished his speech carefully, Han Xuan said angrily: "there is still so long time for magazine competition, so you don't have to lose?"

"No, not necessarily..."

Meng Huo shakes his head. In fact, he is at a disadvantage. The new magazine is monthly, but he has great confidence in the pirate king. There is a decisive difference between this cartoon and his previous works, which makes him full of expectations.

"The pirate king" will definitely be his most popular work. It can be released twice before "the son of the spies" goes on sale, and these two times can make up for the two month sales gap of the magazine.

"What are you talking about? Meng Huo won't lose." Shen Jie patted Han Xuan on the head: "don't use crow's mouth. He still has a new work to do!"

She has seen the pirate king and is confident in it.

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

Li Yu asked.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with going to England once." Meng Huo nodded. Shen Jie was startled by his words: "you don't want to go to England, do you?"

"I haven't been abroad. 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 this contest."

Shen Jie's face brightened up: "that Meng Huo, we will work together in the future..."

"Brother He Xi, let's go to England together in the future." A tender voice preempts Shen Jie's words. Meng Huo's body suddenly stiffens. He looks down at a girl pulling her own corner.

"I came to the playground with my mother!"

Ling Shuang, the little princess of that dessert shop, appears again
