Chapter 264

It was dark

Annie saw the two children off at the door and then went back to the room.

"Your Highness, the tea is cold. Do you need to make it again?"

She saw that the tea in the cup was cold, so she asked voluntarily. Anthony lay on the chair and answered faintly.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Annie looked at it and nodded to herself.

"Congratulations, your highness, on the success of your plan."

While making tea, she said that Annie had no accident about this success. They knew all about He Xi, including his character. He Xi, who knew all the truth, certainly would not want to stay in Ninghai.

He was a proud child. His liberalism was very strong. He would never tolerate other people's cheating, and he would not feel lucky for a rich grandmother.

"Success..." however, at this time, Anthony on the chair laughed: "no, I failed, Annie. He Xi refused the invitation."

The movement in Annie's hand stopped.

"What did you say?"

She suspected that she had heard the wrong thing. Why did she refuse to go to England? Why, for no reason, is the conclusion drawn by these think tanks wrong?

He Xi has been growing up with his own efforts. Is this a misunderstanding? In fact, he is the kind of mortal who will be happy for a strong family?

"... your highness, you... Smile..."

Annie was even more surprised that if He Xi refused Duke Anthony's invitation, why would the Duke smile so happily.

"Because of that kid, he jumped out of my hand."

Anthony shook his head. He thought of He Xi and said with a smile, "Annie, we've miscalculated He Xi. He won't be controlled by others."

It made him feel lost, but more joy.

Although it took months of preparation to get the best result, Anthony was very satisfied with He Xi's performance. At the end of the conversation, He Xi's decision was completely unexpected.

Maybe he will be beyond everyone's expectation. It's a special decision

"Sorry..."

Although it's a pity, what we can't get is what we can't get. Anthony thought so, and then sighed, "I really want to put that child by my side now..."

"If he's in England, with his character, Maybe you'll grow up to be a better politician than me. "

Annie was stunned. She didn't understand what had happened. In the past, Anthony always focused on He Xi's cartoon strength, but this time - he praised the child himself.

In the conversation just now, what exactly did they talk about to bring about such a result?

"Your Highness, He Xi has a high political opinion?"

Unable to restrain her curiosity, Annie asked, but Anthony shook his head.

"No, on the contrary, he didn't tell me about politics." He said: "the child's world is very simple, he is not interested in the political situation."

"I think he will be a cartoonist all his life, a man who pursues culture and art. Maybe he should be like this..."

Everyone has everyone's pursuit. Anthony feels that he is too impetuous. He Xi's pursuit is not fame and wealth, he is just looking for his own unique path.

Anthony wants to take him to England. The tools are the temptation of power and the temptation of growth. He Xi had no interest in the former, but the latter obviously hit his heart.

The child is eager to grow up. Anthony thinks that He Xi's greatest advantage over others is not talent, but the urgency to change. He wants to be mature and deal with all difficulties perfectly.

Anyone, no matter whether he has talent or not, as long as he has this desire and action power, will definitely become very strong in the end.

However, this strong, Anthony thought he can give what pity, but in the end - he said to find, do not want to accept the gift of others.

"What a proud child..."

Anthony sighed: "when I talked with Mrs. Meng, the lady described him as a little lion. Sure enough, he is a relative of blood. The lion should find his own way."

"Your Highness... The comic book market over there..."

Annie can't understand what Anthony is saying. She only knows that He Xi won't come to England. How can she solve the dilemma of England? Does the Duke want to ignore this?

"It doesn't matter. Our goal has been achieved."Anthony shook his head and said with a smile, "he Xigang took the initiative to cooperate with me. The first step is to give us the English copyright of the pirate king. He said we don't have to be too persistent to let him pass."

This is the reason for Anthony's compromise. In fact, He Xi's submission of the English copyright of the cartoon is almost the same as his own in the past.

"Is that enough?"

Annie was suspicious.

"Well, that's enough. The pirate king is more in line with our market." Anthony nodded. At the beginning, he wanted to take He Xi to Britain and let the child prepare a cartoon suitable for the western market.

But He Xi finally reminded us that in fact, the current "pirate king" can be used. The characters' names in this cartoon tend to be westernized, so it is not too difficult to spread.

And the key is that the pirate king can sell so well in China, and its strength is obvious to all, let alone Britain.

"So it is..."

Annie understands that He Xi and Anthony cooperate to achieve the goal. No wonder the Duke will let him Xi go.

"But He Xi was not hit by those two news. It's a surprise."

Then she was a little disappointed. Alice and the Meng family. She thought these two news would cause a huge blow to He Xi, but

"It's a blow."

Anthony opened his mouth and said: "He Xi, as we expected, he can't deal with these two things. He will take action... That's why we underestimate him..."

Anthony got the process right, but he didn't get the result right. When he confidently thought he Xi would go to England obediently, he unexpectedly jumped out

Finally, the child had no choice and dependence, he chose to change himself.

Meng Huo walked quietly in the dark.

"Have you... Promised Duke Anthony?"

Shen Jie followed him half a meter behind him for a long time, and then asked.

"No Meng Huo replied that his voice was very light, and there was a sense of distance in the wind.

Since leaving the family building, Shen Jie finds Meng Huo a little strange. He is quieter than other times. However, this quietness seems to carry a lot of complicated things.

What happened? Shen Jie doesn't know. She just stays behind Meng Huo and looks at his back. She thinks that as long as he doesn't go, it's ok

In Meng Huo's opinion, Shen Jie is really sharp. He needs to be quiet and get the truth about Alice and her family. He is like a powder keg about to burst. If Shen Jie walks beside him, Maybe Meng Huo exploded

He would like to question Shen Jie, what happened that day, and then tell her that she did not succeed in saving herself.

However, he can't say that Shen Jie will make a mess of everything if this matter is told. She will go to Alice, and Meng Huo doesn't know how to deal with it.

What will he do with Alice and the family?

"Family..."

Meng Huo's self mockery comes from the corner of his mouth. What kind of family is she talking about now? The grandmother bought Huamei and helped him behind the scenes. What's her idea?

One day, her grandson will find her help and return to her arms with tears in his eyes - how can it be!

Shame, this is a shame for Meng Huo!

Why does he need the help of those families who have never cared about his mother and son to do what he can do?

Yes, that's right. Huamei bookstore has helped a lot.

However, without Huamei, Meng Huo is still confident that he can win. He has been calculating the distance between himself and Zhongxia, never falling into a real desperate situation. Without Huamei, he just needs to prepare more countermeasures.

But in the end - he seems to have been given?

"Charity..."

Meng Huo stops and looks around. At this moment, is there someone from that family watching him secretly?

As a matter of course, those people think that they are superior and watch the growth of "young master" with "gentle" eyes?

No - Meng Huo doesn't need this kind of treatment, he's not willing to.

"I just have to rely on myself!"

At home, Meng Huo and Li Qin chatted all night.

In the days that followed, he didn't seem to encounter any accidents in comics and life. He just worked harder, especially in comics. He began to stay up late to depict the plot behind, and prepared the serial content of several comics for half a month at a time."I'll save the originals into the computer, and you can print them out for post production."

"And these are the settings of the story. Don't go astray. Forget it... Anyway, I can check it outside. Do you understand the video and fax? Don't try to be lazy

"The pirate king was transferred to the serial of weekly youth, but Xi ran - there was no editorial department, so it was suspended for the time being..."

Two weeks later, many people found something wrong with Meng Huo. He Xi's anniversary celebration was cut down by him without hesitation, and the subsequent Xi man also announced its suspension.

A burst of surprise inside the Phoenix company, after the news spread out, the readers outside were also shocked.

However, just when everyone wanted to know the situation, Yang Liang took a group of people into the Phoenix building and began to persuade the Phoenix company to move away from Ninghai.

They offered a very attractive condition. Suhua City, a garden city in Jiangnan Province, is willing to offer the largest tax exemption and preferential policies, invite Phoenix to live in, and even promise to list it as a key enterprise supported by the city.

If Phoenix moved its headquarters to Suhua, it could enjoy hundreds of millions of subsidies every year. Needless to say, the friction between them and Zhongxia would be reduced accordingly. Yangliang even agreed to let weekly youth and weekly girl go on sale in Zhongxia bookstore.

This matter makes the high-level of Phoenix company ecstatic, Xu Jing received the news, immediately told the secretary.

"Go and take over the boy Meng Huo. He is in charge of this matter!"

The Secretary arrived at Jiayuan community immediately
