It was dark

Anne saw off the two children at the door and walked back to her room.

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

She saw that the tea in the teacup was cold, so she took the initiative to ask, and Anthony lay on the chair and answered lightly.

With a smile on his lips, Anne nodded to herself.

"Congratulations to His Excellency the Duke on the success of his plan."

She said while making tea, Anne had no surprises about this success, they knew everything clearly, including his character, and he would definitely not be willing to stay in Ninghai after learning all the truth.

He was a proud child, he was very liberal, and he would never tolerate the deception of others, let alone feel lucky for a rich grandmother.

"Success......" However, at this time, Anthony in the chair smiled: "No, I failed, Annie, what a pity he turned down the invitation." ”

The movement in Annie's hands stopped.

"What did you say?"

She suspected that her ears had heard wrong, so why refuse to go to England? Why, for no reason, are the conclusions of these think tanks wrong?

Why is it a misunderstanding that he has been growing up by his own efforts all along? In fact, he is the kind of mortal who would be happy for a powerful family?

“…… Your Excellency the Duke...... Laughed ......"

Anne was even more surprised that if he refused Duke Anthony's invitation, why would the Duke still smile so happily.

"Because that kid jumped out of my palm."

Anthony shook his head, he remembered what a pity. He laughed and said, "Anne." It's a shame we miscalculated. He won't be in the hands of anyone else. ”

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

Although it took months of preparation without the best results, Anthony was very satisfied with what he had to say. At the end of the conversation, the decision he made was completely unexpected.

Maybe he will surprise everyone, and it will be a very regrettable decision......

"Regret ......"

It's a pity, but what you can't get is what you can't get, Anthony thought, and then sighed, "I really want to put that kid by my side now......"

"If he's in the UK. With his character, he may grow into a more powerful politician than me. ”

Anne was slightly stunned, she didn't understand what had happened, Anthony's eyes had always been focused on the strength of the comics, but this time - he admired the child himself.

What did they talk about in that conversation just now to have such a result?

"Your Excellency, why do you have a high political opinion?"

Unable to contain her curiosity, Anne asked, but Anthony shook her head.

"No, it's the opposite. He didn't tell me anything about politics. He said: "That child's world is very simple, and he has no interest in politics. ”

"I think he'll be a cartoonist for the rest of his life. Those who pursue culture and art may be like this......"

Everyone has their own pursuits, Anthony feels that he is too impetuous, why not pursue fame, fortune and wealth, he is just looking for his own unique path.

Anthony wants to take him to England, and the tools are the temptation of power and the temptation of growth. He had no interest in the former, but the latter clearly hit him in the heart.

The child is eager to grow, and Anthony thinks that the greatest advantage over others is not talent, but the urgency to change. He wants to be mature and wants to deal with a qiē difficulty perfectly.

Anyone, whether he has talent or not, as long as he has this kind of ** and action, he will definitely become strong in the end.

However, this power, Anthony thought he could give nothing, but in the end - he said that he would find it himself, and did not want to accept the gift of others.

"What a proud child......"

Anthony sighed: "When I talked to Mrs. Meng, that lady described him as a lion cub, and sure enough, the eyes of blood relatives are more accurate, and the lion should find his own way." ”

"Your Excellency...... What about our comic market......"

Anne couldn't understand what Anthony was saying, she only knew why she wouldn't come to England, why didn't she come, how could Britain's predicament be solved? Could it be that the Duke doesn't want to bother with this matter anymore?

"It doesn't matter, we've achieved our goal."

Anthony shook his head and said with a smile: "Why don't you take 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 obsessed with letting him pass." ”

This is the reason for Anthony's compromise, why not hesitate to hand over the English copyright of the comics, in fact, it is not much different from his own past.

"Is that enough?"

Anne was skeptical.

"Well, enough, One Piece is more in line with our market." Anthony nodded, he initially wanted to take Ho Xi to England and let the kid prepare a comic suitable for the Western market.

But in the end, I was reminded that in fact, the current "One Piece" can be used, and the names of the characters in this manga are all Westernized, and the difficulty of spreading 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 United Kingdom.

"That's ...... so"

Anne understood, what a pity to cooperate with Anthony, the goal was achieved, no wonder the Duke would let him go.

"But it's a pity that I wasn't hit by those two news, it's really surprising."

Then she was a little disappointed, Alice and the Meng family, she originally thought that these two news would be a huge blow to He Xi, but it turned out to be ......

"It's hit."

Anthony opened his mouth and said, "It's a pity that as we expected, he can't cope with these two things yet, and he will do it...... That's why we underestimated him......"

Anthony got the process right, but not the result. When he was confident that he would go to England obediently, he unexpectedly jumped out......

In the end, that child had no choice and dependence, he chose to change on his own.

In the night, Meng Shu walked quietly.

"You...... Did Duke Anthony promise it? ”

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

"Nope." Meng replied. His voice was soft. In the wind, a sense of distance is created.

Since leaving the family building, Shen Jie is now a little stranger, he is quieter than other times, but under this quietness, it seems to carry very complicated things.

What exactly was born? Shen Jie didn't know, she just stayed behind Meng Shu and watched his back. I think as long as he doesn't leave, it'll be fine......

And in Meng Shu's opinion, Shen Jie is really keen, he needs to be quiet, 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 Shu will explode......

He wanted to question Shen Jie, ask her what she had given birth to that day, and then sue her that she didn't succeed in saving herself.

However, he could not say. If this matter is said, Shen Jie will make a mess of everything. She'll go to Alice, and this ...... Meng Shu didn't know what to do with it yet.

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

"Family ......"

The corners of Meng Shu's mouth hung with self-deprecation, what family is still talking about now, that grandmother bought Huamei and helped him behind the scenes, what idea did she have?

Someday, this grandson of hers will come to her aid, and return to her arms with tears in his eyes - how could it be!

Shame, this is a shame for Meng Shu!

What he can do alone, why does he need to rely on the power of those families who have never cared about and cared about their mother and son?

Yes, that's right, Huamei Bookstore has helped a lot.

However, without Huamei, Meng Shu still has the confidence to win, he has been calculating the distance between himself and Zhongxia, and has never fallen into a real desperate situation, without Huamei, he just needs to prepare more countermeasures.

But the result - he seems to have been given a handout?

"Almsgiving ......"

Meng Shu stopped, he looked around, at this moment, was there also someone from that family secretly watching him?

Those people are like taking it for granted, thinking that they are high, and watching the growth of his 'young master' with 'gentle' eyes?

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

"I'm just on my own!"

Back home, in the evening, Meng Shu and Li Qin chatted all night.

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

"I'll save these manuscripts on my computer, and you can print them out for post-production."

"And these are the settings of the story, don't go crooked, forget it...... Anyway, I can check outside, video and fax understand? Don't be lazy! ”

""One Piece" was transferred to "Weekly Shonen" serialized, and "Pity" manga - anyway, there is no editorial department, and it has temporarily entered a state of suspension......"

Two weeks later, many people are now doing something wrong, and the anniversary celebration of He Xi was cut by him without hesitation, and the subsequent "Regret" comic also announced the closure of the publication.

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

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

They gave a very tempting condition, Suhua City in Jiangnan Province, this garden city is willing to give the largest tax exemption and preferential policies to invite Phoenix to move in, and even promised to list it as a key enterprise supported by the city.

If Phoenix Company moves its headquarters to Suhua, it can enjoy hundreds of millions of subsidies every year, not to mention, the friction between them and Zhongxia will be reduced accordingly, and Yang Liang even promised to let "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" be sold in Zhongxia Bookstore.

This incident made the senior management of Phoenix Company ecstatic, and Xu Jing received the news and immediately instructed the secretary.

"Quick, go and pick up that kid Meng Huo, he is in charge of this matter!"

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