Big Manga

It's dark

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

"Your Excellency, the tea is cold, do you need to make it again?"

Seeing that the tea in the teacup was getting cold, she asked proactively. Anthony lay on the chair and responded lightly.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Annie nodded secretly.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency, the plan has succeeded."

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

That is an arrogant child, his liberalism is very strong, he will never tolerate other people's deception, let alone feel lucky for a rich grandma.

"Success..." However, at this time, Anthony on the chair smiled: "No, I failed, Anne, why did he refuse the invitation."

The movement in Annie's hands stopped.

"what did you say?"

She suspected that her ears had misheard. Why did she refuse to go to England? Why, there is no reason, the conclusions drawn by these think tanks are wrong?

He Xi has been relying on her own efforts to grow up, is this a misunderstanding? In fact, he is the kind of mortal who would be happy for a powerful family?

"... Your Excellency, you... laughed..."

What surprised Annie even more was why the Duke would still show such a happy smile if He Xi rejected Duke Anthony's invitation.

"Because that child jumped out of my palm."

Anthony shook his head, he thought of He Xi. Hehe laughed and said, "Annie. Why did we miscalculate. He won't be mastered by others."

This incident made him feel lost, but more of it was joy.

Although months of preparation did not yield the best results, Anthony was very pleased with He Xi's performance. At the end of the conversation, He Xi's decision was completely beyond his expectations.

Perhaps he will also surprise everyone,

That was a very regrettable decision...

"Pity……"

It's a pity, but if you can't get something, you can't get it, Anthony thought so, and then sighed: "I really want to put that child with me now..."

"If he was in the UK. With his character, he might grow up to be a better politician than me."

Annie was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand what happened. In the past, Anthony's eyes were always focused on He Xi's comic prowess, but this time - he admired the child himself.

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

"Your Excellency, He Xi has high political opinions?"

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

"No, it's just the opposite. He didn't tell me his political views." He said: "The kid's world is very simple, and he has no interest in the general political trend."

"I think he will be a cartoonist all his life. People who pursue culture and art, maybe they should be like this..."

Everyone has their own pursuits. Anthony felt that he was too impetuous. He Xi was not pursuing fame, fortune and wealth. He was just looking for his own unique path.

Anthony wants to take him to England, the tool is 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, and Anthony believes that He Xi's biggest advantage over others is not talent, but the urgency to change. He wants to be mature, to handle all difficulties perfectly.

Anyone, no matter whether they are talented or not, as long as he has this kind of desire and action, he will definitely become very strong in the end.

However, this strength, Anthony thought he could give it to him, but in the end——he said that he wanted to find it by himself, and he didn't want to accept the gift from others.

"What a proud child..."

Anthony said with emotion: "When I talked with Mrs. Meng, the lady described him as a little lion. As expected, the eyes of blood relatives are more accurate, and the lion should find its own way."

"Your Excellency the Duke...then the comic market over there..."

Annie couldn't understand what Anthony was talking about. She only knew why she would not come to the UK, why not come, and how to solve the predicament in the UK? Is the Duke no longer interested in this matter?

"It doesn't matter, our goal has been achieved."

Anthony shook his head and said with a smile: "He Xi took the initiative to cooperate with me just now. The first step is to hand over the English copyright of "One Piece" to us. He said that we don't have to be too persistent and let him pass."

This is the reason for Anthony's compromise. He Xi handed over the English copyright of the comics, which is actually not much different from his own past.

"Is that enough?"

Annie was skeptical.

"Well, it's enough. "One Piece" is more suitable for our market." Anthony nodded. At first, he wanted to take He Xi to the UK and let the child prepare a comic suitable for the Western market.

But in the end, He Xi reminded that in fact, the current "One Piece" can be used. The names of the characters in this comic are all westernized, and the difficulty of dissemination will not be too high.

And the key is that "One Piece" can sell so well in China, and its strength is obvious to all, let alone the UK.

"It turned out to be like this..."

Annie understands that He Xi and Anthony have achieved their goal by cooperating. No wonder the Duke will let He Xi go.

"However, He Xi was not shocked by those two news, what a surprise."

Then she was a little disappointed again, Alice and the Meng family, she originally thought that these two news would deal a huge blow to He Xi, but in the end...

"It's hit."

Anthony opened his mouth and said: "He Xi is just as we expected, he is still unable to deal with these two things, he will take action... That's why we underestimated him..."

Anthony got the process right, but not the result. When he confidently thought that He Xi would go to England obediently, he jumped out unexpectedly...

In the end, the child had no choice and no one to rely on, he chose to change by himself.

Under the night, Meng Huo walked quietly.

"Have you... promised Duke Anthony yet?"

Shen Jie followed him for a long distance half a meter behind him. I couldn't help but ask.

"No." Meng Huo replied. His voice is very soft. In the wind, there is a sense of distance.

After leaving the family building, Shen Jie found that Meng Huo was a little strange. He was quieter than other times, but this quietness seemed to carry very complicated things.

In the end what happened? Shen Jie didn't know, she just stayed behind Meng Huo, watching his back. I think as long as he doesn't leave, it's fine...

In Meng Huo's view, Shen Jie is really sharp. He needs to be quiet to get the truth about Alice and the family. He is like a powder keg that is about to burst. If Shen Jie walks beside him, maybe Meng Huo will explode... …

He really wanted to question Shen Jie, ask her what happened that day, and then tell her that she failed to save herself.

Yet he could not speak. If this matter is revealed, Shen Jie will mess everything up. She will go to Alice, and this...Meng Huo still doesn't know how to deal with it.

How will he face Alice in the future, and how will he face that family?

"family……"

Meng Huo made a self-deprecating smile. What kind of family is he talking about now? That grandma bought Huamei and helped him behind the scenes. What was she thinking?

One day, her grandson will find her help, and then return to her embrace with tears in his eyes—how is it possible!

Shame, this is a shame to Meng Huo!

Why does he need to rely on the power of those families who have never cared about his mother and child for what he can do alone?

Yes, that's right, Huamei Bookstore 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, and has never been in a real desperate situation. Without Huamei, he only needs to prepare more countermeasures.

But the result—he seems to have been handed out?

"Alms..."

Meng Huo stopped, and he looked around. At this moment, is there someone from that family watching him secretly?

Those people took it for granted, thought they were superior, and watched the growth of this 'young master' with 'gentle' eyes?

No - Meng Huo didn't need this kind of treatment, he was not reconciled to this kind of treatment.

"I'm just on my own!"

Back home, at night, Meng Huo and Li Qin chatted all night.

In the following days, comics and life, he didn't seem to encounter any accidents, but he just worked harder, especially in the comics, he began to stay up late to describe the plot behind, and prepared the serial content of several comics for half a month at a time up.

"I will store these manuscripts in 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!"

""One Piece" was transferred to "Weekly Shonen" for serialization, and "Sorrow" manga - there is no editorial department anyway, and it is temporarily closed..."

Two weeks later, many people discovered that something was wrong with Meng Huo. He Xi's anniversary celebration was canceled without hesitation, and the subsequent "Xi" manga was also announced to be closed.

There was a burst of surprise inside the Phoenix Company, and after the news spread, the readers outside were also shocked.

However, just when everyone wanted to ask about the situation, Yang Liang led a group of people into the Phoenix Building and began to persuade Phoenix Company to move out of Ninghai.

They offered a very tempting condition. Suhua City in Jiangnan Province, a city of gardens, was willing to offer the largest tax exemption and preferential policies to invite Phoenix to live in it, and even agreed to list it as a key enterprise supported by the city.

If Phoenix Company moves its headquarters to Suhua, not to mention hundreds of millions of subsidies per year, the friction between them and Zhongxia will be reduced accordingly. Yang Liang even agreed to let "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls" be sold in Zhongxia Bookstore sale.

This incident made the top management of Phoenix Company ecstatic. Xu Jing received the news and immediately gave instructions to the secretary.

"Quickly, go and take that boy Meng Huo over, he is the one to decide this matter!"

The secretary rushed to the Jiayuan community immediately... (to be continued...)
