Chapter 170: Interview

When Meng Huo was about to get off work, Chen Jie, who was refreshed, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Are there any reporters looking for you today?"

He asked with a smile,

"No." Chen Jie shook her head and then said, "But something else happened."

"What else?"

Meng Huo was about to ask clearly, but Alice hurried over: "Meng Huo, something happened! Some of your female readers went to the newspaper and said they wanted to stop their reports."

"Report?" Meng Huo felt strange and frowned: "How many readers..."

"There are not many people, probably dozens..."

"Don't worry if you have dozens of them." Chen Jie said in a word: "Those people are just looking for trouble if they have nothing to do. Meng Huo doesn't have to worry about them, they won't make trouble."

"How do you know?"

Meng Huo looked at Chen Jie in surprise.

"Of course I know." Chen Jie put her hands on her chest and said, "I know the person who takes the lead. She is a young lady who can't stay idle. She always likes to find trouble to do something, but she is not bad by nature and will definitely not cause any trouble."

Chen Jie is very clear about everything that happened today. No ordinary fans have such great action power. The actions of female readers are organized by someone.

The one who organized the newspaper to go to the newspaper was the group of people who organized the quarrel last time. Chen Jie knew them and felt that they were completely bored.

Those managers are usually ordinary people, and they have high expectations in the fan club, so they naturally refuse to miss the opportunity to be the boss, so they want to carry out activities whenever they have the opportunity.

According to Chen Jie's roommate Li Yu, that is - "This is all idle!"

The girls are so idle that organizing a group of fans is better than shopping. So they act very actively. But Chen Jie sometimes thinks. If this continues, they will probably make things worse.

However, Chen Jie felt that organizing activities was also beneficial. For example, she also organized a group of people to come to Phoenix Company today, but she called them and sent them back.

Chen Jie advised Meng Huo not to worry about it. If Meng Huo passed by, that would not make the group of fans more proud. Fortunately, Meng Huo did not have the interest in this regard, so after listening to her, she ignored it.

Meng Huo took Chen Jie home. The next day, he went to work, and Chen Jie and Li Qin watched TV together.

It was still early, but the news was being broadcast in the morning, and the news content was the live interview with Meng Huo by Ninghai TV. The live broadcast had been released, and many people were watching it next to the TV.

"It's really difficult to interview Teacher He Xi once." The reporter who went to interview this time was a young reporter with a gentle appearance and a humorous speech: "If it weren't for the release of "Dream Eater" this time, I might have never had a chance in my life."

The picture on the TV is an office of "Weekly Boy". Meng Huo sat in the middle, with many comics and magazines placed on the bookshelf behind him. He looked very cartoonist.

After a wave of greetings, the young reporter began a conversation with Meng Huo.

"Teacher He Xi is already a household name cartoonist in Ninghai, but your story has always seemed very mysterious."

"The purpose of our interview is to learn more about some of the things about the teacher. Let's start with debut first." The reporter sat opposite Meng Huo, opened the notes and asked: "You made your debut in the comics after junior high school graduation. You were only 15 years old at that time, and you should be at a carefree age. Why did you suddenly embark on this path?"

"This question... I honestly want to be simple because I want to make money." Meng Huo replied: "I am a single-parent family, and my mother raises me alone. She is under a lot of pressure. I want to reduce her burden."

"When it comes to making money..." Meng Huo pondered for a moment: "I am a child and I don't seem to have anything else to do, so I thought of comics."

"Then why isn't it a novel?" the reporter asked curiously: "Aren't novels easier to write?"

"I'm more confident in painting." Meng Huo smiled: "And the competition in the novel market is so fierce. I can't figure out whether I'm the material, so I chose a comic."

"Then why not choose Longteng Company?"

"Phoenix Company focuses on original comics, and I don't want to be a cartoonist adapted from novels." Meng Huo said: "And I have received attention."

He recalled what happened last year: "After I submitted my comics, the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Boy" bought tickets for me and my mother. He came to Ninghai Railway Station to pick us up to the company. He also gave me a royalty share that was beyond the reach of a newcomer, and helped me contact Ninghai No. 1 Middle School to attend. All the actions moved me."

"So many things happened." The reporter clapped his hands and sighed: "Teacher He Xi is so honest, which makes me admire you even more. At the age of 15, you embarked on the road of cartoonists for your mother. This is undoubtedly an inspirational story. I think your mother must be very happy now."

In Jiayuan Community, Shen Jie found that Li Qin's eyes turned red and quickly handed over tissues from the table.

"Auntie, are all Meng Huo's words true?"

She asked carefully.

"Well..." Li Qin nodded, wiped the corners of her eyes, and smiled, "You don't know, the child did not dare to tell me about his successful submission, and then lied to me that it was a friend's submission, deliberately testing my reaction."

"Think about it now..." Li Qin's eyes felt a little distressed: "He was thin and weak at that time, so he was not as energetic as he is now. I treated him badly."

Shen Jie opened her mouth wide, then turned to stare at the TV. It turned out that Meng Huo was so great!

On TV, the interview continued, and the reporter asked another question: "Teacher He Xi painted cartoons for his mother, but in this way, wouldn't the story of "Dream Eater" have nothing to do with Teacher He Xi?"

He smiled and said, "Now readers think that teacher, you have embarked on this road because of your love breakup!"

"How is that possible?" Meng Huo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have never been in a relationship yet, and I am so young, so I don't plan to find a girlfriend for the time being."

This answer made Bai Ping, who was applying medicine on the side of the TV, jump up. She stared at the TV with her eyes glowing, not caring about the injuries on her hands at all.

In other places in Ninghai, some girls also shouted out excitedly. Many elders around these girls were shook their heads and sighing, looking at how rational and smart they were. He shouldn’t have fallen in love early at first!

Unfortunately, their daughter is going to fall deeper...

However, many people questioned Meng Huo's answer in their hearts, and the reporter asked this question: "Teacher He Xi, are you lying to us? You have never been in love, how can you write about love?"

Meng Huo disagreed with this issue.

"I don't think love needs to be drawn in love... Love is an innate emotion that humans have. Even people who have never been in love can draw the love story in their hearts."

"This... seems like this." The reporter hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "The Romance Queen Twenty years ago once said that love written by people who have never been in love is the most touching. Those who have been in love often cannot write the taste of first love well."

"But Teacher He Xi, it's a pity that our interview was one day late. If you were interviewed yesterday, there wouldn't be any accidents in the afternoon." The reporter suddenly smiled: "Yesterday afternoon, a small number of your female readers went to the newspaper to stop them from reporting the news. Does Teacher He Xi know about this?"

Meng Huo nodded: "I have heard of it, but it's not very detailed. Anyway, it's fine...

"I can explain this to Teacher He Xi." The reporter was prepared for a long time. He flipped his notes forward and said: "The reason for the incident is because of "Dream Eater". The protagonist Shin-chan's debut time is very similar to that of Teacher He Xi, which makes many readers misunderstand that Shin-chan means your past."

"Teacher He Xi, your readers are very active!" After closing the notes, the reporter was amazed: "Teacher He Xi is the youngest idol cartoonist in China."

"It is impossible for ordinary cartoonists and novelists to have such cohesion, and it is not the first time that Mr. He Xi's readers have taken such action. You are already in the same position as your celebrity idol."

"Ah?" Meng Huo opened his eyes wide: "This is impossible, I don't show up often."

"This is what I want to admire Teacher He Xi." The reporter smiled and said, "There are also several idol cartoonists in Zhongxia. They are regular visitors to our TV station. Teacher He Xi, you are the first one, and you will become an idol cartoonist without showing up."

"No..." Meng Huo frowned: "What does idol mean?"

"Idol? A cartoonist with the same strength is a handsome idol, and an ordinary cartoonist is an ordinary cartoonist." The reporter explained: "Teacher He Xi is outstanding, so it's not that others praise you as an idol."

The reporter envied in his heart that idols’ statements are not limited to appearance, but appearance is the key point. A good appearance can change many things, such as those Internet beauties who have been praised as goddesses and idols by countless teenagers. In reality, they can’t produce anything except appearance.

If Meng Huo was ugly, his female readers would definitely not be so crazy.

Since the news was broadcast in the morning and time was limited, the interview was about to end. At the end, the reporter expressed his gratitude to Meng Huo:

"I'm glad that Teacher He Xi was able to take time to accept our interview today. Time is limited. Finally, I would like to ask Teacher He Xi to say a few words to our audience."

"Is this OK?"

"Of course." Meng Huo nodded, then thought to the camera and said, "I am He Xi, thank you for your continued support in Ninghai."

"But I am just a cartoonist, I hope everyone will not treat me as a star. I want a quiet life. Only quiet can draw a good story. As for love... I haven't considered this yet, but I will make the decision by myself. I hope you all will maintain respect for me!"

Meng Huo smiled.

"I hate all the people who talk about my love..." (To be continued...)
