Tomato and Huameng moved to Jiayuan community after they got married, and it was very close to Meng Huo's home.

This made Li Qin and Meng Huo a little happy. Li Qin no longer had to worry about being alone, and Meng Huo's work became more convenient. He could justifiably make Tomato and Hua Meng work late.

"This is not the result I expected..."

Mr. Tomato moved to a new house full of joy, but what he expected was a nightmare job. In addition to the regular update of "Detective Conan", he also had to help Meng Huo with some background and outlet work for "One Piece".

Meng Huo gave him a little salary increase, but Tomato hoped to have more time to enjoy married life with Huameng. His dream was brutally destroyed by Meng Huo, and even the editors in the editorial department forced him to help.

"Tomato, you have to work harder, otherwise next month's "One Piece" will have too few episodes, which will easily affect the sales of "Pity."

The editors said so, no matter how unwilling Tomato was, he still gritted his teeth and persisted. He stayed at Meng Huo’s house almost every day to help, reducing redundant work. Meng Huo’s progress was very fast. Intensive drawing, you can draw ten chapters before the release next month.

"You might as well be the official assistant of One Piece."

During the break, Meng Huo suggested to the sallow and emaciated Tomato.

"No, I don't want it!" Tomato refused without hesitation, and stayed in the study all day drawing. This kind of hardship is more than ever before. Moreover, Tomato thinks that he has no strength to be an assistant in "One Piece".

It's okay to let him do some auxiliary work, if you want to really draw the story. The painting style of "One Piece" is too different from "Detective Conan", he can't do it. Meng Huo is the only one who can flexibly change in various painting styles.

For this, the editorial department is also full of amazement.

Young cartoonists are the most malleable, and when they get older, their style of painting tends to be fixed, and it is difficult to make radical changes. Meng Huo's current age is in a period when his style has not yet been fixed, but he can perfectly switch between multiple styles, which has to be said to be a miracle, and no one in China can match him.

Tomato is very sad, he works to death during the day. Going home at night also has to 'work'. No matter how hard it is for the newlyweds, he can't neglect Huameng—this kind of hard and sweet day makes Tomato lose weight.

Meng Huo sympathized with him very much, but he was not sloppy at work. He had already decided to launch the ten-episode "One Piece" in next month's "Xi" because Zhongxia Company surpassed his sales again.

This matter should start after the wedding banquet, the week after the wedding banquet. "The Best of the Week" has reduced the price by one-fifth, and now it only costs twenty yuan to buy a copy of "The Best of the Week", and before that, it was twenty-five yuan.

The sudden price drop caused the sales of "Weekly Boutique" to soar and quickly overtook Meng Huo. And the speed of widening the gap is also faster than before. This made Meng Huo feel a sense of pressure. He didn't know if Zhongxia would come up with other things in the future, so he wanted to ensure the sales of "Xi" next month.

And to ensure sales, the best way is to increase the number of "One Piece" words.

"They are too shameless! It's not fair to lower the price when they find out that they are about to lose!" Meng Huo didn't have time to go out to play with Shen Jie after the holiday. The little girl was a little angry: "Isn't this kind of price war illegal?"

Meng Huo had also thought about her thoughts. But Alice told him that there is no evidence that Zhongxia Company has vicious competition.

"Weekly Boutique" was originally priced on the high side, and the current price is equivalent to half of "Sorrow", but the number of episodes is also half. Zhongxia raised the price to such an extent, it cannot be called vicious competition.

Moreover, Zhongxia still has room for reduction. They have a unified sales channel, and the intermediate links and logistics costs are lower than those of Phoenix. If they really provoke a price war, Phoenix will probably be unlucky.

In response to the wave of price cuts in Midsummer, Phoenix Company also discussed whether to lower the price of "Weekly Boys", but Meng Huo was the first to reject this proposal.

Price cuts can increase sales, but he doesn't like this approach, and the price of "Weekly Boys" has a special curve. When there are few stories, there are fewer, and when there are more, there are more. Breaking the balance is not a good thing.

Magazines are originally spread with small profits, even if a book is reduced by one piece, there will be a big loss. Meng Huo felt that since he could draw "One Piece", there was no need to resort to unavoidable measures.

But what he didn't expect was that the price cut was just a prelude to Zhongxia's fight against him.

On May 27th, Ninghai No. 1 Airport.

Outside the ticket gate, a little boy running on the ground bumped into the foot of the man who had just come out.

"Be careful." The man picked him up and handed him over to the boy's mother who rushed over: "Madam, there are many people at the airport, please take your child with you."

His voice was very elegant, and his words were as beautiful as singing, which made the cheeks of the woman who was holding the child heat up. She looked at the man enthusiastically. The man was wearing a hat, and most of his face was covered by sunglasses. Only his mouth and nose could be seen.

Even so, her heart still jumped involuntarily. From the arc of his face, she felt that this man would be very handsome.

"That...you are..." The woman wanted to ask, but a blond woman appeared in front of her.

"People from Zhongxia Company have arrived..." After she finished speaking to the man, several bodyguards in black immediately stepped in, separated the man from the mother and child, and then escorted him outside.

The woman watched them, and the man's back made her very reluctant to part. That man exuded a special aura, even though he didn't even see his appearance, but his words, a touch, could easily capture the hearts of the opposite sex.

Outside the airport, Wang Zhe took Qin Ya to welcome these people: "Welcome to Ninghai, Mr. Mo Ming..."

"Hello." The man reached out to shake hands with Wang Zhe, then took off his glasses, turned to look at Qin Ya beside him, and smiled, "Little princess, long time no see."

"Yes……"

Qin Ya lowered her head, her face was hot. This proud romantic princess could only show such a shy expression in front of this man.

Her heart was beating wildly. Mo Ming, an idol superstar in the entertainment industry, was hailed by the media as the most handsome man in China. If He Xi's appearance is like a moon, then this man's face is as dazzling as the sun.

"Ning Hai..."

Mo Ming looked up at the strange city with a smile on his face.

"Is this Alice's hometown?"

The former manager had been reluctant to let him come, but in the end, he came to her anyway.
