Summer in Shangcheng

Chapter 14
beep beep...

Editor Li hung up the phone mercilessly.

Mei Zhixia's whole heart turned cold.

If Mu Yicheng hadn't been pestering her last night, how could she have missed today's big event. Now that she has lost her job, how should she live.

The income of a cartoonist is good, and you can earn a lot at a time, but when the income is not good...

Throwing the phone on the table, Mei Zhixia walked to the window and stood still. She opened the window, and the warm wind immediately passed by.

The scorching sun was spraying the city, and there were row upon row of high-rise buildings everywhere, but Mei Zhixia had never had a foothold in this bustling metropolis.

After graduating from university, she has been engaged in the comics industry for a year and a half. Although she already has some die-hard fans, for Mei Zhixia, this is far from enough. What she wants is success.

The domestic comics industry is still not good enough, with high output and low quality. There is still a big gap between the Japanese animation industry and the development of domestic animation.

Mei Zhixia can endure loneliness, she has a lot of patience, but... she still lacks a chance.

Chance……

Speaking of opportunities, there is one right now.

MK Group is a perfect choice. Mei Zhixia has always hoped that her comics can be turned into big movies and put on the big screen.Last night, Yu Jiaman said a lot of good things about her in front of the editor-in-chief of Mediterranean, but the editor's response was indifferent. Maybe he would be a little moved after seeing her works?

The small room was quickly filled with heat. Mei Zhixia closed the window, sat in front of the workbench, and stared at the unfinished painting of the robot image last night in a daze. What was the use of continuing to draw? up.

After sitting for a while, she didn't feel a little hungry until her stomach gurgled.

From today to now, she still hasn't run out of water, so she hurried to the kitchen to make something simple to eat, and then changed into a cotton print dress.

Her hair was already dry, so she smoothed it out with a comb, walked to the workbench again, thought about it, and printed out a few words of the animation manuscript that she was going to give to editor Li.

Holding the manuscripts of these few episodes, Mei Zhixia went out and went straight to the MK Group by car.

When we arrived at the entrance of the MK Group, it was already [-] noon, and many people came out of the group one after another. It seemed that they were all the staff inside. They should be going to have lunch at this time.

Mei Zhixia stood at the door for a few minutes before seeing Yu Jiaman and Chen Cheng walking out together.

She waved at Jiaman, "Jiaman."

Yu Jiaman heard the sound and looked towards her. She squinted her eyes, as if she had just come out of the room and was not used to such strong sunlight. She was a little surprised to see Mei Zhixia coming.

Chen Cheng recognized her at a glance, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his face.The two walked up to her together. Before Yu Jiaman could speak, Chen Cheng spoke first, "Have you eaten yet? If not, let's go together."

When Chen Cheng stared at Mei Zhixia, he didn't take his eyes off, and his eyes shone with burning light.

Mei Zhixia felt that those gazes were a little too hot, and smiled awkwardly, "I've eaten." Then, she looked at Yu Jiaman and handed over the comic manuscript in her hand.

"This is my hand-drawn manuscript, show it to the editor-in-chief."

Yu Jiaman didn't take the drawing, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

"You just introduced me to the editor-in-chief yesterday, and I think I should show him my work." Mei Zhixia was full of expectations, but Yu Jiaman murmured: "Actually, I heard that the animation that will be produced this time The big movie seems to have already appointed a well-known domestic cartoonist."

This is undoubtedly a basin of cold water being poured on the head.

"Zhixia, I'm sorry, I wanted to help you get the best chance, but..."

"I understand." Mei Zhixia smiled in relief. Yu Jiaman worked so hard to speak for her in front of the editor-in-chief yesterday, how could she not know Jiaman's feelings for her.
