It's dark

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

"His Prince, the tea is cold, do you need to be brewed again?"

She saw that the tea in the teacup was cold, so she asked on her own initiative, and Anthony lay on the chair and responded faintly.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Anne looked at it and nodded secretly.

"Congratulations to the Duke for his successful plan."

She said while making tea, Annie was not surprised by this success. They understood He Xi's affairs clearly, including his personality. He Xi, who learned all the truth, would definitely not be willing to stay in Ninghai.

He was an arrogant child, with a very strong liberalism and would never tolerate other people's deception, nor would he feel lucky for a rich grandma.

"Success..." However, at this time, Anthony on the chair smiled: "No, I failed, Anne, He Xi refused the invitation."

Anne's movements stopped.

"What did you say?"

She suspected that she had heard the wrong ears, so He Xi refused to go to the UK? Why, there is no reason, the conclusions drawn by their think tanks are wrong?

He Xi has been growing up with his own efforts. Is this a misunderstanding? In fact, he is the kind of mortal who is happy for a strong family?

"...Duke, you... laughed..."

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

"Because of that child, he jumped out of my palm."

Anthony shook his head, and he remembered He Xi. He laughed and said, "Anne. We have miscalculated He Xi. He will not be controlled by others."

This incident made him feel disappointed, but more of it was joy.

Although he spent several months of preparation without getting the best results, Anthony was very satisfied with He Xi's performance. At the end of the conversation, He Xi's decision was completely beyond his expectations.

Maybe he would have unexpectedly surpassed everyone's expectations, it was a very special decision...

"Pity……"

Although I was sorry, I couldn't get what I couldn't get. Anthony thought so, and then sighed: "I really want to put that child by my side now..."

"If he were in England, with his character, he might have grown into a better politician than me."

Annie was slightly stunned. She didn't understand what was going on. In the past, Anthony's eyes were always focused on He Xi's comics strength, but this time - he praised the child himself.

In the conversation just now, what did they talk about to make such a result?

"His Excellency Duke, He Xi has a high political opinion?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Annie asked, but Anthony shook his head.

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

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

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

Anthony wanted to take him to England, and the tools were the temptation of power and the temptation of growth. He Xi had no interest in the former, but the latter obviously hit him in the heart.

The child was eager to grow up. Anthony believed that He Xi’s greatest advantage over others was not talent, but the urgency to change. He wanted to become mature and to handle all difficulties perfectly.

Anyone, regardless of whether he has talent or not, will definitely become very strong as long as he has this kind of abilities and action.

However, Anthony thought he could give this strength, but in the end - he said he wanted to find it himself and did not want to accept the gifts from others.

"What a proud child..."

Anthony sighed: "When I talked to Mrs. Meng, the lady described him as a little lion. As expected, the eyes of blood-related relatives are more accurate, so the lion should find his own way."

"Hisser Duke...Then the comic market we have over there..."

Annie couldn't understand what Anthony was saying. She only knew that He Xi would not come to England. He Xi would not come. How to solve the British dilemma? Does the Duke no longer want to pay attention to this matter?

"It doesn't matter, our goal has been achieved."

Anthony shook his head and smiled, "He Xi took 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 we don't have to be too persistent and let him go."

This is the reason Anthony compromised. He Xi handed over the English copyright of the comic, which is actually almost the same as his own in the past.

“Is that enough?”

Anne was very suspicious.

"Yeah, enough, One Piece is more in line with our market." Anthony nodded. At first, he wanted to take He Xi to the UK and ask the child to prepare a comic suitable for the Western market.

But in the end, He Xi reminded that in fact, "One Piece" can be used now. The characters in this comic are Westernized and the difficulty of spreading them will not be too high.

And the key is that "One Piece" can be sold so well in China, and its strength is obvious to all, let alone the UK.

"So that's what it is..."

Anne understood that He Xi and Anthony cooperated with the goal, no wonder the Duke let He Xi go.

"But He Xi was not hit by those two news, it was really unexpected."

Then she was a little disappointed again. Alice and Meng family. She originally thought that these two news would cause a huge blow to He Xi, but in the end...

"It's a blow."

Anthony spoke and said, "He Xi, as we expected, he was unable to deal with these two things, he would take action...so we underestimated him..."

Anthony calculated the process correctly, but not the result. When he confidently thought He Xi would go to the UK obediently, he unexpectedly jumped out...

In the end, no one chose or depended on that child, and he chose to change himself.

Under the night, Meng Huo walked quietly.

"Did you... agree to Duke Anthony?"

Shen Jie followed a long distance half a meter behind him and couldn't help asking.

"No." Meng Huo replied. His voice was very light. In the wind, a sense of distance was created.

Since leaving the family building, Shen Jie found that Meng Huo was a little unfamiliar. He was quieter than other times. However, this quietness seemed to carry very complicated things.

What exactly happened? Shen Jie didn't know that she was just staying behind Meng Huo and looking at his back. She felt that as long as he didn't leave, it would be fine...

In Meng Huo's opinion, Shen Jie is really keen. He needs quietness and get the truth about Alice and the family. He is like a powder barrel that is about to explode. If Shen Jie walks by his side, Meng Huo may explode...

He wanted to question Chen Jie, ask her what happened that day, and then tell her that she did not succeed in saving herself.

However, he couldn't say it. If this matter was told, Chen Jie would mess up everything. She would go to Alice, and Meng Huo didn't know how to deal with it yet.

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

"family……"

Meng Huo was mocking himself on the corner of his mouth. What family is there? That grandmother bought Huamei and helped him behind the scenes. What was her idea?

One day, her grandson will find her help, and then return to her arms with tears in her eyes - how is that possible!

Shame, this is a shame for Meng Huo!

Why do he need to rely on the power of families who have never cared about or cared about their mother and son?

Yes, yes, Huamei Bookstore has helped a lot.

However, without Huamei, Meng Huo was still confident that he could win. He had been calculating the distance between himself and Zhongxia and never fell into a real desperate situation. Without Huamei, he just needed to prepare more countermeasures.

But the result - he seemed to have been given alms?

“Alms…”

Meng Huo stopped and looked around. At this moment, was there someone from that family watching him secretly?

Those people, as if they were taken for granted, thought they were arrogant and looked at the growth of his "young master" with a "gentle" look?

No—Meng Huo doesn’t need this kind of treatment, he is unwilling to accept this kind of treatment.

"I just need to rely on myself!"

When we got home, Meng Huo and Li Qin chatted all night long.

In the days, comics, and life that followed, he seemed to have no accidents, but just worked harder, especially in comics, he began to stay up late to portray the subsequent plot, and prepared the half-month serialization content of several comics at one time.

"I will save these manuscripts in my computer, and you can print them out for post-production."

"And these are the settings of the story. Don't go wrong, forget it... I can check it outside anyway. Do you understand the video and fax? Don't be lazy!"

"One Piece has been transferred to "Weekly Boy" serialization, "Xi" manga - there is no editorial department anyway, and it is temporarily closed..."

Two weeks later, many people discovered something was wrong with Meng Huo. He Xi's anniversary celebration was cut without hesitation, and the subsequent "Xi" comic also announced the suspension.

There was a surprise inside Phoenix Company. After the news came out, readers outside were also shocked.

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

They gave a very attractive condition. Suhua City, Jiangnan Province, is willing to give the largest tax exemption and preferential policies to invite Phoenix to move in, and even agreed 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 only will their friction with Zhongxia be reduced accordingly. Yang Liang even promised to let "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" be sold in Zhongxia Bookstore.

This incident made the senior executives of Phoenix Company ecstatic. When Xu Jing received the news, he immediately gave instructions to the secretary.

"Hurry up, go and take that boy Meng Huo over. He has to decide on this matter!"
Chapter completed!
