Chapter 169: The Woman I Like
On Friday, Xu Jingle called Meng into the office.
"You see, we have taken over the newspapers for the past two days."
There was a thick stack of newspapers on the table, and Meng Shu casually took out a few and looked at the headlines.
"The ghost reappeared, "Ouran High School Male Public Relations Department" and "Dream Eater" sold well on the first day, and Phoenix Company achieved another great result!" "Weekly Boy" has been cut in half, and its sales are still hot!" "Phoenix Company has launched two new works, which can be watched by men, women and children, and become fans of what a sorry teacher with your wife, children, and parents!"
These are stories touting Meng and Phoenix, which should have been the mainstream of this week's comic news according to the previous situation, and the rest are some disparaging reports.
However, Meng Shu flipped through it, and he found that this week's reports were different from the past, and the number of appreciative and disparaging reports was not as good as the speculative analysis, and the target of those analyses was not the content of the comics, but him.
"'Dream Eater' - What an Autobiography." "The dissection of "Dream Eater" proves the similarities between Majo and He Xi in many ways!" "What a pity for the combination to reappear, Zhencheng and the Autumn People partner, so what is the pity of appearing in the Ninghai Carnival, are there other partners?" "Why is it so good at describing the truth of love - the third year of junior high school has a crush on a classmate."
After reading these reports, Meng was a little speechless.
"Zhilu said, why did I call you here?" Xu Jing said: "The controversy caused by your cartoon is not small, you had better accept an interview with the media to clear up these rumors." ”
Meng Shu nodded: "Okay, when." ”
"Tomorrow, Ninghai TV wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you. The location is right in the company. ”
Tomorrow is Saturday. But Meng Huo still has to come to the company to continue making games. Xu Jing's arrangement did not conflict with his timing.
After leaving the office, Meng Huo walked to the editorial department of "Weekly Boys", the editors of the editorial department were nervously counting the statistics, and on this day of the week, they would sort out all the comic data, and they also had to prepare for the serialization next week, which seemed very busy.
However, busyness could not stop the editors from enjoying the magazine's booming sales, and Weekly Shonen stopped a few months of decadence and began to rise again. This situation fills everyone with fighting spirit.
"To, Meng Huo, this is a letter from your reader."
Alice held the box in front of Meng Shu, which was full of envelopes and postcards.
"So much?"
Meng was a little surprised.
"This has been processed, I have screened it, and the rest can be seen directly." Alice smiled: "Your readers have been sending a lot of letters, but I intercepted it for you before, so it shouldn't matter now." ”
Alice had previously worried that Meng was too young and susceptible to readers' letters. But now that his identity has been exposed, and Meng Shu has not changed much. Alice thinks that the current Meng Shu. It would have been possible to read the letters, but she threw away the harassment and pompousness.
Meng Huo picked up the postcard and looked at it-"What a pity for the teacher." There are too few main plots in Detective Conan, can you speed up the progress? ”
Several postcards in a row are written with such reader opinions, and there are some very pertinent comments and support.
"Do I need a reply?" Meng Shu asked.
Alice shook her head: "No, just look at it, if you don't want to see it, throw it away." ”
Of course, there is no need to reply to readers' letters, and if everyone replies with a letter, then Meng Huo does not need to draw cartoons. Of course, there are occasional exceptions, and if there is any situation that needs to be replied to, Alice will talk to Meng Huo in advance.
"I don't need to reply." Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you can let it go, I'll watch it when I have time." ”
said so, but as long as Meng Shu was busy, he would definitely leave these letters behind.
He's ready to work, but Alice hasn't gone yet.
"Anything else?"
"Hmm......" Alice pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Meng Shu, there are many reports linking you to "Dream Eater" in the morning, there will definitely be reporters to investigate, you had better call Shen Jie." ”
"Let her pay attention, don't be suspected of being the original heroine of "Dream Eater"."
Meng Shu was stunned, he hadn't thought about it at all, but Shen Jie's relationship with his fellow villagers was not a secret, plus Ninghai Carnival had shown his face, and others were likely to target her.
If others regard Shen Jie as the heroine of "Dream Eater" and spread their scandal, Meng Shu is nothing, but it will definitely bring trouble to Shen Jie, and she doesn't like to attract attention......
"You're right, I'm missing a thought." Meng Shu sighed: "I can't disturb Shen Jie's life. ”
"Disturbing her life?" Alice thought of Shen Jie's violence, and the corners of her eyebrows jumped: "I don't think you have to worry about this problem at all, Shen Jie will solve it by herself, you just ask her not to talk nonsense to reporters, what I'm worried about is that this matter will have a bad impact on you." ”
"Me?" Meng Shu was puzzled: "What impact can I have?" ”
He has gradually become accustomed to other people's hype, and he will not lose a single hair if the media likes to say anything.
"You're underestimating your readers." Alice glanced at Meng Shu deeply, and then said, "You better call Shen Jie earlier, let her take it easy for the past two days." ”
"Oh, good."
Meng Shu looked at the time, just after class, he took out the phone and called.
"Journalists? You don't have to worry too much......" Shen Jie smiled: "Meng Shu, I'm going to Phoenix Company in the afternoon to dub." Then it's a holiday, and I'll go to your house for two days, so won't there be nothing? ”
"It's fine."
Meng Shu was relieved, he thought that Shen Jie had avoided these few days, as long as he was interviewed tomorrow and explained the matter of "Dream Eater" clearly, this matter would be over.
But as Alice said, Meng underestimated his readers.
Bai Ping is the top student of Ninghai No. 2 Middle School, and she is also a fan of He Xi. This girl, who was born in a wealthy family, has been self-disciplined and hardworking since she was a child, and she is very good at learning, socializing and being a person.
She grew up with praise from adults and peers, but unlike other girls, Bai Ping doesn't dress up beautifully. She was always kept clean and tidy. It's like a white crane standing in the crowd.
There are a lot of boys who pursue Bai Ping. But she never looked down on anyone. She felt that no one could be worthy of herself, that handsome boys were not talented, and talented boys were ugly......
Only a smart and handsome boy like a prince charming can make Bai Ping's heart move......
Bai Ping felt that she would never find such a person in her life, but when her identity was revealed a month ago, she, like many girls, began to have an increased heartbeat.
Talented, handsome, and peers...... It's a pity that he is like a prince charming who fell from the sky, and instantly made Bai Ping obsessed with him. However, as soon as this issue of "Weekly Boy" came out, Bai Ping found that she had been betrayed.
She's in the classroom. Watching the analysis of the media with your phone.
"What a pity, except for "Pokemon", the others are more or less in love. Especially the heroes and heroines of "Five Centimeters per Second", the bitter and helpless love still makes the author feel sad, why can a sixteen-year-old boy write such a real love? ”
"After "Dream Eater" came out, all the doubts were explained. The time when Majo announced that he became a cartoonist was the third year of junior high school, and this time happened to be the debut time of He Xi's teacher. ”
"Maseong has a crush on his classmate Yadou, so why pity the teacher? Did he ever like anyone before his debut? Or is he still liking that guy to this day? ”
"If you analyze it carefully, it will certainly be a heart-wrenching answer. How could a person who could write so many love stories not experience love love? And the author believes that the teacher's love must have failed. ”
"We can see this in the work. What a pity that the stories written by the teacher have a kind of bitterness, and in the comics that have ended so far, the love has not ended well, only if the teacher has fallen in love, he will write such a cruel love love. ”
The more Bai Ping looks at it, the more uncomfortable she becomes, why does it pity that the teacher likes others?
She looked for other reports, and the general guess was the same, and what they said was very reasonable. Bai Ping felt that the image of He Xi in her heart seemed to be tarnished, and she imagined He Xi to be a pure and talented teenager.
How could such a teenager like other women?
Bai Ping flipped through the comments on her mobile phone, and she was not the only one who felt betrayed, and there were several girls who felt that what they thought was ruined.
"Let's go to Mr. He Xi and ask him clearly, if he likes other women, I don't like him!"
"yes, we're going to find out who that vixen is!"
He Xi's female fans were angry, but people with extreme ideas like Bai Ping were a minority, and others did not target He Xi, but the media and the women He Xi liked.
"It's a pity that the teacher must be innocent! We're going to ask the newspapers, they're talking nonsense again! ”
"It's a pity that the teacher is so pitiful, no wonder he has been writing about the tragedy of love, he must have been deceived by a bad woman, we must teach that woman a lesson!"
In the afternoon, more and more girls voiced their opinions, and gradually escalated into activities, and some female fans also gathered at the newspaper office to get them to delete the report.
There are also more than a dozen extreme female fans who are walking towards the Phoenix company, and they want to ask for the truth. Bai Ping was also among these people, she came to the door of the Phoenix Company after school, and walked to the side alley according to the agreement with her companions.
"Why do you want to meet in such a remote place?" Just when Bai Ping was wondering, she saw a girl wearing a mask in the alley.
"Are you here to find Teacher Hexi?"
The girl asked.
"Yes, yes!" Bai Ping looked around: "Why are so few people ......?"
"They went home and said they didn't want to disturb the teacher." The girl slowly walked forward, her eyes squinting slightly: "I strongly recommend that you go home too." (To be continued......)
