Hu Yunfang didn't follow them into the room, closed the door for them and went downstairs to work by herself.When Li Jiaoyang went in with Shen Yi, Jing Yun's eyes were red.Zhang Chunqiang turned his head to look at them both, and asked, "Is it done?"

"Well, it's gone, it's over once and for all." Li Jiaoyang said.

Zhang Chunqiang sighed, "It should have been done earlier."

Li Jiaoyang asked the two of them: "What's going on? Can you tell me?" Just now Jing Yun had already explained the story to Zhang Chunqiang, and Zhang Chunqiang simply repeated the story to Shen and Li. After listening, Li Jiaoyang clapped Thigh: "Damn it! Are they too superb? Who are these people! Are all your two-dimensional operations so flamboyant?"

What can the remaining three Two-dimensional say?I'm not I didn't stop talking nonsense?The circle is a thing that prospers and loses. Passers-by never care whether you are a literary circle or a European and American circle or a Japanese manga circle.

"Two-dimensional" sounds very harsh in many cases, especially when this kind of brain damage is pouring out, it is very sad.

"Cough." Shen Yi coughed, changed the subject, and said to Jing Yun, "You are not the same as them, so don't play together in the end."

Jing Yun rubbed her eyes, they were still red, obviously she cried when she was talking to Zhang Chunqiang just now, but luckily she is much calmer now.She nodded and said, "Well, my manga has been cut in half, and I don't have any other ideas in a short time, and something like this happened again today, I..."

"Wait." Li Jiaoyang interrupted Jing Yun's words, "Your manga has been cut in half? What do you mean? Is it "Friday"?" Zhang Chunqiang and Shen Yi didn't pay much attention to the manga. Say it for the first time.How could it be cut in half so well?Didn't you participate in interviews and talk about a lot of things before?

"Actually, when you interviewed me, "The Eighth" had already entered the danger zone." Jing Yun explained, "I was very anxious and at a loss, and I didn't know what to do. It happened that you gave me an interview opportunity. It was like a life-saving straw for me, although I don't know if it will help. While I was trying to save my work, something happened at home."

"So you disappeared for several days?" Li Jiaoyang asked.

"Yes." Jing Yun continued, "My mother was injured, and I took care of her at home for a few days. At that time, I went back in a hurry, and there was no way to update, so I had to give up." She said it lightly, but All three could understand the struggle and pain behind the understatement.

Give up your hard work, give up the goal you have been striving for, and give up all your previous efforts.This was by no means an easy task, and at that time Jing Yun had no choice.

"It's a pity." Zhang Chunqiang commented.Shen Yi has been sitting on the side without speaking.

Jing Yun smiled dejectedly: "I don't know, it's actually much easier than I imagined. After communicating with the editor, I spent the night thinking about it at home, but what I thought about was not about comics at all, but about Myself, what was the purpose of drawing manga all these years alone. At that moment, I suddenly couldn’t figure it out.”

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head again, and said with a sigh: "Do you know? My mother spent 2 yuan for surgery after a fracture. In fact, she hurriedly rode to earn the 5000 discount. I went out by bicycle, but I didn’t expect to post [-] yuan. After thinking about it, I felt that I was very useless. I am not young, and if I worked normally, I should have some savings to take home, but those who draw comics I didn’t save anything in [-]. I can’t afford the money for my parents to buy a new house, and I can’t afford the money for my mother to be hospitalized. She is so old and has to go out by bicycle in the summer, and she can’t bear it. I don’t want to eat and wear clothes for me to grow up, and I don’t know what I’m doing now...I seem to be taking care of myself, and I can’t give them anything..." She said the sad part, tears pattered It fell on the back of the hand with a clatter.

At this time, others always want to comfort you by saying that your health and happiness are the greatest rewards for your parents.There's nothing wrong with talking like this, but it's also very superficial.Health and happiness are very vague words. Ordinary people rarely experience catastrophes and illnesses in their lives, and most of them are described by the word "flat".So what do you give back to your parents?Either it is to accompany you wholeheartedly, or it is material satisfaction, or both exist at the same time.After a lifetime of busy work, it is very sad that when we grow old, we will have to face the wind and rain.

Jing Yun has been thinking about this matter all the time. After thinking about it, she is wrong. She even wants to give up. What can she do to support herself and her family?She is not a well-known cartoonist, so it would be ridiculous to persist in vain.

Perhaps this cut in half of the manga is a good opportunity for her to recognize the reality, recognize her own level, and stop losses in time.

"Then you..." Shen Yi asked softly, "What are your plans for the future?"

Jing Yun still shook her head: "I didn't think about it very clearly, but let's finish dealing with the comics first, and then organize the things at hand. Maybe I will give myself a vacation for a while... Hey, I am also very happy. I hate my readers."

Li Jiaoyang said: "They like you very much, and I like you very much." As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yi elbowed him hard, and he immediately explained: "I mean, I admire you very much, I like you very much." Your comic work."

"Thank you." Jing Yun said, "They don't just like me, every reader will have a lot of likes, maybe he just saw my work by accident and left me a comment, but for me I am very grateful to say that, I hope "Eighth" can leave a little trace in their minds, even if the memories will become blurred in the future, as long as they think about it, it is a very happy story. .”

"It will definitely." Li Jiaoyang said.

Shen Yi said: "If you are bored, you can come to the cute circle to play, the children still like you very much."

Jing Yun said, "Okay."

Zhang Chunqiang sighed: "You don't have to have too much psychological burden. Sometimes fortune is really hard to say. Maybe it's not a problem with your ability, maybe it's just that the time is wrong. Take a break first, if you have nowhere to go , the basement downstairs will be vacated for you, anyway, if it is empty, it will be empty, and no one will bother you."

Li Jiaoyang said: "Well, I put away all your things for you, and they are still there. I sent them all away, don't worry, Brother Yang will protect you."

Shen Yi covered half of his face with one hand, and wanted to know why Li Jiaoyang always had infinite patience and kindness towards women.

Jing Yun couldn't say anything other than "thank you", she went back to the basement first, and the three of them were chased away by Li Jiaoyang as if they were singing, and the room was suddenly much emptier.She sat in her seat in a daze, her mind was also empty.

She didn't come here for a few days. The contract matter was finally settled, and the payment for the platform's manuscript fee was almost settled. Her computer was kept in the basement, and she passed after she came out of the platform.

"Hey, you're back!" Li Jiaoyang shouted excitedly to Jing Yun.

Jing Yun blushed, nodded and said, "Yeah."

"We're going to the comic exhibition this weekend, are you going?" Li Jiaoyang said braggingly, "We have a booth, and there will be many users coming to play."

"Really?" Jing Yun said.

"We're thinking about what else we can do." Li Jiaoyang didn't treat Jing Yun as an outsider at all. He pulled her and said, "Why don't you go to our booth to sign? Users will definitely be happy when they get your sign." Very happy!"

"I..." Jing Yun said hastily, "I'm not big."

Zhang Chunqiang interjected: "To them, you are, don't worry too much, you are just here for fun, how long have you not been to the comic exhibition?"

Jing Yun recalled it carefully, and it seemed that after the comics entered the intense drafting process, she no longer had any spare time.Others were able to go to the comic book signings, but she didn't have that opportunity, so she could only print some books and give them to familiar readers.She really hadn't had a good time, and she was a little moved by what Li Jiaoyang and the others said, so she nodded in agreement.

Think of it as helping Li Jiaoyang and the others to see the scene and help them. The comic show is so busy, they must need manpower, Jing Yun thought.

"Okay! I've finished thinking about all the links I can think of! I'll leave the rest to you!" Li Jiaoyang clapped his hands triumphantly and left.

Summer vacation is a very lively time period. Students are on vacation, and some have free time and money to go out to play. Therefore, during this period, various online and offline activities emerge in an endless stream, and comic exhibitions of all sizes are held all over the country.Because of the difference in the level of economic development and the degree of mobile Internet radiation, the comic exhibitions in the north are naturally inferior to those in the south, but isn't it because they are right in front of their homes, so people in the cute circle go for a stroll from time to time to meet live young people.

This time they applied for an ordinary booth to do a little publicity. They didn't have anything to sell, so they printed some materials and distributed them. Li Jiaoyang didn't expect this kind of comic exhibition to bring much growth in users, so he just took everyone to play. By the way Talk to users offline.

The day before the opening, Hu Yunfang took Tong Yu and Tang Xiaohui to set up the exhibition. On the day of the opening, Li Jiaoyang changed to a bigger car to pick them up and set off together.

"Yo, you can do it." Zhang Chunqiang looked at Li Jiaoyang's mount, "Bugatti Gold Cup."

"It's almost done!" Li Jiaoyang chased everyone into the car like a sheep, "What's wrong with Jinbei? Isn't this a good match for our temperament!"

"..." Shen Yimao got into the car with his waist bent, "It's okay, we can go to the tomb robbery."

Li Jiaoyang said: "Well, Shen Qiling, sit still." He kicked the accelerator and pulled the crowd to speed along the Beijing ring road.

Even though they came out very early, there were already many people queuing at the gate when they arrived at the venue.

"Fortunately, there are stall owner certificates." Hu Yunfang issued certificates to them, as well as an advance ticket, "After entering, go to B05. A few users said they would come over today. You can receive them individually."

"Okay." Everyone agreed.

Just like any other large or small comic exhibitions before, once you enter, there will be crowds of people waving colorful flags, and all kinds of fancy clothes will come one after another, which is very different from the outside world.

Li Jiaoyang and the others rushed to the front of their stall. There were all kinds of peripheral books on the left and right, and they were already surrounded by people. It was a bit embarrassing that their place was empty.

A group of people stood for a few minutes with smiling faces, but there were still very few people passing by their booth.

"I can't do this." Zhang Chunqiang thought for a while, and walked out of the stall for a stroll, about 5 minutes later, she came back, bought two hairpins with cat ears, issued one to Li Jiaoyang and Shen Yi, and said, "Go, go out and solicit customers." go."

"What?!" Li Jiaoyang was the first to quit, "You asked me to sacrifice my appearance to sell myself? I'm still shameless!"

Zhang Chunqiang said: "Why didn't you think about being shameless when you stole Shen Xiaoniao's skirt? Hurry up, the one-day booth fee is quite expensive. By the way, the two issued cards and reimbursed me later. "

"Little bird!" Li Jiaoyang was about to turn his head to ask Shen Yi for help, when he saw that Shen Yi put the cat ear hairpin on his head very naturally, without the slightest burden of being an idol.Not only did he put it on for himself, but he also put it on for Li Jiaoyang.

"I don't want to bring it." Li Jiaoyang pressed in a low voice.

"Be obedient." Shen Yi pouted the cat's ears and patted Li Jiaoyang, "Let's go."

After the two of them walked away, Zhang Chunqiang said: "It's really hard to see."

"Actually..." Tang Xiaohui covered her mouth and said, "It's pretty cute too..."

"Maybe it's because I'm too familiar, so I can't get cute." Zhang Chunqiang said, "Okay, don't stand there, Tong Yu, come here and be a kanban girl."

"..." As the only man left on the stall, Tong Yu could only serve the ladies without complaint.

Jing Yun also worked very hard to distribute leaflets to them. When a few users came, Zhang Chunqiang entertained them with an amiable smile, making them feel the warmth of spring. Although these users Zhang Chunqiang I have scolded severely in private.

"Let me introduce you!" Zhang Chunqiang pushed Jing Yun over, "This is Da Jing Yun! You can ask anything you want to know!"

"Wow!" The eyes of the users are all bright, "It's big!"

"No, no." Jing Yun said very embarrassedly, "It's not Da Da!"

Users don't care about this, Chao Jingyun on twitter wants to sign.They are so simple, no matter whether you are famous outside, as long as you are recognized in the ecological circle inside the cute circle, then you are what they call "big".

Jing Yun's kindness was hard to get over, so she had to sit in the booth and draw for everyone, surrounded by a circle of people, who sighed "that's amazing" from time to time.

She was very nervous, she had never been surrounded by so many people, and she had never painted under such crowds.She felt that she was about to lose her grip on the pen, and she kept hinting in her heart not to be nervous.

Signing and drawing are generally not too complicated. Jing Yun has a good foundation, and the drawings for several users are also very detailed. After handing them over to everyone one by one, seeing the extremely happy faces of a few children, Jing Yun suddenly felt the same. A little satisfaction.

"Not bad." Zhang Chunqiang said, "Look, there are still many people who like you."

Jing Yun sat on a chair and looked down at the table.

At this time, a girl came to the booth. Jing Yun just saw that she was standing quietly by the side, and thought she was also a user, so she asked, "Do you need anything?"

The girl shook her head, looked at Jing Yun with a smile, and still didn't speak.
