Chapter 350: The Man Who Followed (Part I)
The change of Cartoon Island was an incredible thing for the new graduates of Suhua University Town, and in a short period of time, the originally poor place suddenly became a luxury shopping street, with various brand stores arranged in an orderly manner and a dazzling array of goods, which was more magnificent than many prosperous areas in Suhua City, which surprised the students.
And seeing such a scene, they all understand that this island has the potential to develop into a new commercial center, and Phoenix Company's recruitment here naturally attracts countless college students.
"I heard that Lin Mei, the big beauty of the Department of Economics, has been successfully admitted, and if we succeed in applying, we will be able to work in the same building as her."
"It seems that someone from the next class has been successfully admitted."
"There's a lot of people here, so it would be nice if we all went in."
On the street, a group of senior male students from Suhua Business School were discussing and walking, and the recruitment event on this comic island was their dream opportunity, not only close to the university campus, but also the opportunity to be colleagues with familiar classmates and friends, and the future development prospects were also very good.
Of course, most people value the commercial prospects of this place, and many people don't know anything about comics and have no interest in Phoenix.
Wang Shi is such a person, although he came over with his classmates, he just came to have a look. He had never read a comic, and he had never thought of working in a comic company, and he had been approved by a company a few years ago, and he would be able to go to work in a few months, and he was completely stress-free at work.
While listening to the conversation of his classmates, he looked at the commercial street boredly. He was surprised that so many merchants were investing here, but that's about it.
"It's here...... Here it is. ”
The classmate stopped suddenly. Wang Shi looked up. I found myself in front of a store called "Lu's Spring and Autumn".
"Lu's Spring and Autumn ......"
Wang Shi couldn't help but want to laugh. This name is really funny, and it's not a bookstore, how can it be named like this?
"Isn't this a game store? What are we doing here? ”
A classmate asked.
"Take comics, a lot of us here don't read comics. But the interview with the comic company will definitely be related to comics, and you can rent comics to read here, so you don't have to buy them yourself. Another student replied, "And few people know about it, they all went to buy it themselves, which is not cost-effective." ”
"No wonder ......," Wang Shi nodded. No wonder his classmates brought him here, probably they wanted to rent a few more comics. He and his classmates went in, and the game store really had comics for rent, but each person could only rent one with their ID card.
The clerk is a young man who is very neat: "Leave your ID number to get a free deposit, four yuan a day for each comic, and if you spend at a designated place, you can also get a free drink fee of two yuan." ”
His words were very attractive, and several classmates hurriedly asked what the place was.
"I can take you there." The clerk said, then turned his head and shouted to the inside of the shop, "Senior brother." I'll take the guests to the house of what a pity, and you will look at the counter first. ”
"Okay."
Another young man soon walked out of the shop.
"Please go this way." The first clerk took the surprised students out. On the way, Wang Shi said strangely: "You just called that person senior brother?" You're also from a college town? ”
There are many people in the university town of Suhua who call the seniors of the first year a senior brother.
"No, we're not college students." However, the clerk denied it with a smile: "He is my true senior brother, and that Lu's Spring and Autumn is a ...... opened by our master."
"Master! Burst...... Are you martial arts students? ”
"No, how can I say it, we used to resell things...... That's what you call scalpers. The clerk touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "We specialize in selling Mr. He's works, and this time the master wanted to find something stable to do, so he brought us here to start a business." ”
"What a pity? Who's that? ”
Wang Shi was stunned.
"It's the author of the comic we have in our hands." The clerk didn't answer, and a classmate said: "What a pity is a genius manga artist, less than four years after his debut, he has become popular all over the country, you shouldn't know if you don't read comics, but you've heard of "Pokemon" and "Gundam Seed", right?" ”
Wang Shi nodded: "It's a cartoon, my sister seems to have watched these two works." ”
"Yes, these two cartoons are the work of Teacher He Xi." The classmate said admiringly: "He is only 18 years old this year, and he is also the person in charge of the company we applied for. ”
"Eighteen years old...... Four years ......" Wang Shi was shocked, and then looked down at the cartoon in his hand: "Doesn't this mean that he debuted at the age of fourteen?" ”
"That's right, fourteen...... Wang Shi, you are outdated. ”
Another student said: "He is also a big star, and many people in the school like him. Lin Mei, the big beauty of the Department of Economics, we talked about before, Lin Mei was originally admitted to the civil service, but when she heard that the teacher would come here, she immediately gave up her position as a civil servant, and then participated in the interview of Phoenix Company. ”
"A lot of the candidates are fans of Teacher Ho Xi." The clerk smiled and added, "I see that you don't know much about comics, so this interview will be difficult...... Oh, it's ......."
He led the group to the outside of the dessert shop.
"What a pity for the ...... home"
Wang Shi looked at the signboard and was stunned, is that really a big star? There is even a shop of the same name.
And this dessert shop is still very lively, the number of pedestrians in the entire manga island is not particularly large, but the dessert shop is almost full, walk in and take a look, the customers in the store are college students, and everyone is reading comics.
"Welcome!" A girl walked over, and Wang Shi heard a group of inhaling voices around him: "This child is so cute...... "I really want to touch her......"
What appeared in front of them was a super invincible and cute little girl, almost eleven or twelve years old, with a face made of pink makeup and jade, and she smiled like a doll.
"Eight guests, yes? Please go this way, there is still a place here......"
The girl skillfully led the group inside, but the clerk of the game store did not follow, and Wang Shi looked back. The clerk was found talking to a waitress.
"......I see," he understood. There may be a collaboration between the game store and this dessert shop. To put it simply, the game store should be responsible for renting books and bringing customers here, but how can this dessert shop make money if it provides two yuan for a free drink? There is a two-dollar drink fee, so you won't spend a lot of money......
"Two parts bubble tea, one part hot milk, one part freshly ground coffee, four parts double skin milk...... 30 pieces in total......"
Sure enough, Wang Shi ordered something for thirty yuan for eight people, and because each person had two folded rolls, that is. They spent fourteen dollars and enjoyed double the treatment.
"Originally, the flow of people was small, and the drink fee was given, and this dessert shop would definitely lose ......"
Wang Shi sighed in his heart, but the next moment, he found that the girl who had finished ordering did not leave immediately.
"I've finished ordering the drinks, what more dessert do the big brothers want?" She smiled: "The desserts in our store are very delicious, big brothers, please try them!" ”
“……”
Seeing this 'innocent' smile, Wang Shi suddenly found that there was another inhalation sound around him, and several classmates quickly flipped through the menu.
"Give me another glutinous rice cake."
"I want an egg roll!"
A few desserts were ordered, and Wang Shi was startled. What an amazing girl who can change the opinions of guests with a smile.
"Okay. I wrote it down...... Kindness...... There are three older brothers who don't order, what do you need? ”
The girl turned her head to the remaining three people who didn't order desserts and asked each other, the first two were ordered immediately, just when Wang Shi didn't know why, the girl suddenly put a smile on his face: "Big brother, what about you?" ”
"I ...... I'm still ......."
Wang Shi wanted to forget it, but suddenly, the other seven classmates all looked at him viciously.
"I ...... It's good to ask for an osmanthus cake......"
"Okay, please wait a minute, big brothers, we'll bring dessert and drinks soon."
The girl left with a smile on her face.
"What a cute girl...... "Yes, it's cuter than my sister...... "Her smile is so innocent......"
After the girl left, several college students said happily, Wang Shi listened to the cold sweat next to him, the girl's smile just now was definitely not pure, and she obviously forced them to order something. It's too cunning for this shop to use a little girl to seduce customers, but the girl is polite and just lets them order something casually and leave.
After careful calculation, except for the discount of two yuan, Wang Shi found that they were quite cost-effective, and the dessert shop did not lose money. In this way, he felt that he was too stingy to continue to mind.
"Come on, read comics, read comics!"
Several classmates began to beckon to read the comics, they picked up different comics, and the remaining copy of "Burning Eyes Xana" was put in Wang Shi's hands.
Wang Shi was surprised: "Isn't this the most important comic?" ”
This comic is the most popular thing he reads on the street and in the store, why don't the other students care?
"That's Mr. Ho's latest comic, and I've heard that I'm most likely to ask about this comic during the interview." A classmate turned his head to look at it, and then replied: "So we want to leave it at the end, it will be more impressive to read it that way, Wang Shi, if you don't mind, help us take notes first......
He took out a paper and pen from his bag and put them in front of Wang Shi, and said, "You are the best learner among us, help us write down the key points of "Burning Eye Xana", these points are very useful. ”
Several other students also took out their notes and opened comics, ready to record important information.
Wang Shi was dumbfounded: "You all have to remember?" ”
"That's right, this interview is difficult, and the chances of passing guò are slim." One student replied, "We need to memorize the key points of each comic, and then integrate the information of all the people, so that we can quickly understand the situation of these comics." ”
"Everyone has to read eight comics?"
"That's right!"
"It's too much trouble!" Wang Shi's head was numb.
"What's the trouble...... classmate next to him laughed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "This is a comic and it's not boring material, and there is no pressure at all to read it once." (To be continued......)
