Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 122 Planning ahead
"Boss, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Brother Zhong, happy New Year, you are finally back!"

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Cai Zhizhong finally returned to Hong Kong Island.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, I immediately came to Li Wannian's studio without leaving my feet.

"Boss, this is the pineapple cake I brought you!"

Li Wannian ignored Cai Zhizhong's pineapple cake and gave him a hug.

Li Wannian is not a fan of so-called Wanwan specialties like pineapple cakes. How can those local specialties be as important as Cai Zhizhong?
"I heard from Shi Nansheng that you have gained a lot this time!"

Compared with Cai Zhi who came back in middle age, Shi Nansheng came back early the day before New Year's Eve after completing the negotiations because he was from Hong Kong.

"It's all thanks to Director Shi!"

"You're not bad, Wanwanzhiguang?"

"Boss, stop making fun of me!"

"Who is this?"

While the two were chatting, Li Wannian looked behind Cai Zhizhong.

Cai Zhizhong did not come alone. Behind him was a 1.9-meter tall man.

Seeing Li Wannian asking him, he seemed even more embarrassed.

"This is my good friend, he is a genius that has not been discovered yet!"

"Hello, Teacher Long Live, my name is Ao Youxiang!"

Only then did Aoyouxiang really talk to Li Wannian.

Before that, he had always been like a minion, but now he was at the door anxiously.

"Aoyouxiang?"

In fact, Li Wannian saw Aoyouxiang as soon as he came in. After all, he was not blind. How could he not see the 1.9-meter tall man?
At first, Li Wannian was still guessing who the other party would be?
I didn’t expect that it would be Aoyouxiang!

There is no way, who makes Aoyouxiang's figure look nothing like a cartoonist!

As a former animation practitioner, Li Wannian had naturally heard of Aoyouxiang, but what he didn't expect was that Cai Zhizhong could find a genius just by going to Wanwan. Wouldn't it be great if he went there a few more times?

Hehehe...

"Hello! Please sit down!"

Li Wannian smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Ao Youxiang.

"I believe in Brother Zhong's vision. He thinks so highly of you, so he has his reasons. What do you want to do?"

After sitting down, Li Wannian continued to ask.

"I have been doing animation before, but my drawing skills are pretty good. Now I want to draw comics, so I hope to be your assistant and get your guidance!"

Aoyouxiang also thought about whether he should repackage his experience?
After all, my work experience makes me more suitable to be an animation practitioner rather than a cartoonist.

But after thinking about it, I still couldn't lie.

After all, Cai Zhizhong helped him fight for this opportunity. If he lied, not to mention whether Cai Zhizhong would expose himself, even if he didn't expose himself, if Teacher Long live knew that he had lied in the future, would Cai Zhizhong be implicated?

Therefore, he might as well tell the truth. Even if he is not selected, it will only be his own problem and will not implicate Cai Zhizhong.

"Have you done animation?"

Li Wannian didn't know much about Ao Youxiang's experience when he was young. Now that he heard it from him, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Ao Youxiang was also a monk halfway.

"Yes, I have been doing this for several years!"

"Not only has he been working for a few years, Axiang has very good abilities. Don't look at his young age. He was the leader of the animation team at Hongguang Cartoon before. Even in comics, his abilities are very..."

Cai Zhizhong on the side quickly helped Aoyouxiang explain, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Wannian raising his hand!

"Do you like comics?"

Li Wannian's question is equivalent to asking nothing. At this time, who doesn't know the correct answer to this question?
"No!" "Huh?"

However, Aoyouxiang perfectly avoided this correct answer.

At this time, both Li Wannian and Cai Zhizhong were stunned.

But soon, Aoyouxiang continued: "It's love!"

"..."

What a big gasp!

For just a moment, Cai Zhizhong felt that he was being played up and down by Aoyouxiang. This damn guy would definitely beat him up when he left the studio later!
Of course, you have to be able to beat it!

Aoyouxiang's answer almost made Li Wannian not know how to ask any more questions. Fortunately, everything was back on the right track, and Li Wannian could continue to show off... and ask questions.

"What do you most want to do?"

"Draw more and better comics for children and turn anything boring into interesting!"

"Hope you can do what you say!"

Li Wannian no longer wanted to ask this guy any more. He felt like this guy's words would make him angry to death!

It was so exciting that it was all over the ground!

"Thank you, Teacher Long live. Am I qualified?"

"Of course, my assistant's professional abilities are not as high as you think!"

"Really? Thank you so much!"

When he heard that he was admitted, Aoyouxiang could not hide his excitement.

I resigned from my job and came to Hong Kong Island. Although I had Cai Zhizhong to back me up, it was not like breaking the boat. But if I couldn't even complete the first step of drawing comics, how could I have confidence that I could draw good comics?
"However, I want to remind you in advance that my assistant's salary is not as high as yours as an animation director!"

"It's okay, I can do it!"

Of course Aoyouxiang didn't want to be Li Wannian's assistant just for money!
With another assistant joining, the team of Li Wannian Studio seems to have expanded again!

Seeing the 1.9-meter-long Aoyouxiang standing in the studio, Li Wannian suddenly felt that the studio was a little too small.

Maybe it’s time to change my studio!
"Jingle Bell……"

At this moment, the phone in Li Wannian's studio rang.

"Hello?"

"Li Sang, I'm Tsunoda!"

Tsunoda's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

Although Li Wannian didn't know why Tsunoda felt like he'd been given chicken blood every time he talked to him, could it be that the nuclear radiation was leaked in advance?

However, Tsunoda is not a bad person, he is even a little warm-hearted. Li Wannian has a very good impression of him!

"Kakuda-san, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, no, I don't want to talk to you about New Year's issues. Listen to me, are you interested in Neon Development?"

"What did you say?"

Tsunoda's question made Li Wannian, who was originally relaxed, suddenly become serious.

"I mean, are you interested in registering your comics or animations in Neon? I'll contact you here..."

Li Wannian almost opened his mouth. After listening to Tsunoda's speech, he even hung up the phone, feeling a little worried.

He didn't expect that Tsunoda would be so awesome that his plans would be advanced several years!

"Boss, if nothing happens, we will go back first?"

"Wait a minute, Brother Zhong, there may be one more thing that I need to trouble you with! Forget it, I'd better go on my own!"
