Lin Yun said with a frown.

"Guan Gu, you didn't get your royalties?"

Guan Gu Shenqi nodded and said.

"No, I made a wasted trip."

"All we received was a whole box of letters from readers."

Zhang Wei raised his head and said.

"Guan Gu, does your boss owe migrant workers their wages?"

"You can hire me to help you sue them!"

"After all, I've been researching cases of migrant workers demanding unpaid wages lately!!"

Guan Gu Shenqi shook his head and said.

"There is no need to file a lawsuit."

"Because the publishing house I was working with has gone out of business."

"When I arrived, there was only an uncle sweeping the floor waiting for me to pack my things."

Zeng Xiaoxian raised his head and said.

"what?"

"How could a perfectly good company go bankrupt?"

"Haven't your comics always had good sales figures?"

Guan Gu Shenqi said in a very serious tone.

"The cleaning uncle told me that..."

"Because the economic crisis led to the devaluation of the US dollar, which affected its status as an international reserve currency, countries reduced their holdings of US Treasury bonds, so capital flowed into emerging markets."

"Traditional industries were impacted, annual budgets were reduced multiple times, and publishing houses were unable to make ends meet, so they went bankrupt."

Vivi said with a frown.

"Guan Gu, are you sure he's really a sweeper?"

"I have a feeling he might very well be the owner of your publishing house..."

Seeing everyone staring at him, Guan Gu Shenqi said dejectedly.

"Okay, actually the real reason our publishing house went bankrupt was that we sold a comic book for 28 yuan."

"But the pirate site next door only sells them for 2.8 yuan!"

"What's even more outrageous is that they sold a copy of 'A Novice at Peking Opera' and gave away two photo albums of Gillian Chung!"

"How can our publishing house not go bankrupt?!"

Lin Yun frowned and said.

"This is what is known as Gresham's Law..."

"But Guan Gu, you must not be discouraged."

"After all, surprises are like chocolates in a box; you never know how sticky the next one will be."

Zhang Wei also offered his advice.

"Guan Gu, you are, after all, a cartoonist. Being unemployed is just like taking a vacation for you!"

Guan Gu Shenqi nodded and said.

"You're right."

"It's like I finally have time to reply to my fans' letters one by one now."

Zeng Xiaoxian picked up a letter and said.

"Now, not only authors use book titles, but even letter writers like to use nicknames."

"Look at this Shang Yang who is divided into five parts, he expressed his hope to add more horror elements to the comic."

Lin Yun stepped forward, picked up the envelope, and read it aloud.

“This one is called ‘I, Ultraman Tiga, am in the Northeast,’ and this one is called ‘Antenna Short Circuit Baby.’”

Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"My letters are even more outrageous!"

“‘Sweater Taoist’, ‘Chibi Maruko-chan Calf’, and another one called ‘185cm Introverted Social Anxiety Pure-hearted High School Boy’.

"What kind of ridiculous pen names are these?!"

Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile.

"I have another one with an even longer nickname!"

"His name is, 'China Entry-Exit Administration Visa Information Center'?"

Guan Gu Shenqi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said.

"No! This No630 is my fan!"

Zhang Wei asked curiously.

"Have they launched some new visa packages?"

"It's like those 'buy two get one free' deals, and the first 100 customers also get a nice little gift!"

After reading the contents, Guan Gu Shenqi's already disappointed face became even more dejected.

Lin Yun asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Guan Gu, what's wrong?"

Guan Gu said dejectedly.

“They said my work visa had expired and I wouldn’t be able to find a job.”

"I will be deported back to the island nation within a month..."

Upon hearing Guan Gu Shenqi's words, everyone was taken aback at first, then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"I thought it was something serious!"

"After all that, it's just this little thing..."

Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile from the side.

"Guan Gu, it's a whole month. You can look for a job on your own first."

"If you can't find it, just treat Lin Yun to a meal and ask him to put your name on the company register for you!"

Guan Gu Shenqi nodded and said.

"I understand!"

"But I feel right now..."

"Never mind, thank you everyone for your concern, but I'd like to go back to my studio and have some peace and quiet..."

After saying that, Guan Gu Shenqi carried a large box of envelopes and returned to his studio alone.

After Guan Gu Shenqi left, everyone looked at each other and eventually parted on bad terms.

Lin Yun strolled around the bar but didn't see any new faces.

Having nothing else to do, he decided to go back to his suite and play some games.

When I pushed open the door to suite 3602.

In the living room, Hu Yifei and Lin Wanyu were chatting.

Upon seeing Lin Yun return, Hu Yifei turned her head and said urgently.

"Lin Yun, you've come back just in time!"

"Hurry, hurry and help me!"

Lin Yun said with a puzzled look.

"Now?"

Hu Yifei nodded and said.

"That's right! Hurry up, I can't wait any longer!"

Lin Yun looked around and said.

"Yifei, it's daytime now..."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be so lewd in broad daylight?"

Hu Yifei hurriedly said.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"Come help me right now!"

Lin Yun sighed and said.

"Alright then!"

"Wanyu, since you're here too, why don't you come along?"

"Once we're done, it'll be about time for afternoon tea!"

A moment later, Lin Yun looked at the yoga mat spread out in the living room and said with a blank expression.

"Yifei, is this it?"

Hu Yifei nodded and said.
