Morning, restaurant.

"Strange, why is the teacher not here?" Qin Ya was eating noodles, but her eyes were looking around. Meng Huo should have breakfast in the restaurant at this time. Why isn't he here today? Could it be that he has already gone to work?

She thought so, and then saw two girls walking past.

"Fortunately I went there early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy this issue of "Weekly Girls".

"Yes, I didn't expect that just a serial trailer was so lively, and... Teacher He Xi's new comic name feels very strange."

"Natsume Friends' Account... Speaking of which, the teacher always gives such messy names!"

The two girls in work clothes were holding a magazine in their hands. Qin Ya opened her eyes wide and suddenly was stunned. Of course, she knew that this was "Weekly Girl", and she also knew that this issue of "Weekly Girl" would publish a trailer of Meng Huo's new work.

But she didn't expect the trailer of the new work to be like this. Although it was just a short glance, wasn't the one on the cover a boy?

"Did I see it wrong?" Qin Ya followed the backs of the two girls. The girls met several male colleagues and showed them the Weekly Girls as if showing off. Although Qin Ya couldn't see the cover clearly, the men's screams proved that she was not wrong just now.

"The male lead!?"

"It turned out to be the male protagonist!!"

The men whined: "How could this comic be placed in "Weekly Girls", it's too much! Shouldn't it be in the boy comic?"

"This cover is so cool, why not sell it to me for collection?"

There are also boys who are bidding for girls, but girls are obviously unwilling to do so.

"How do you want to collect it?"

"Of course it was cut..."

"Hey! That won't work!"

The group of employees were chatting and walking to the distance. Qin Ya quickly accelerated the noodles. She had no interest in this issue of "Weekly Girl", and planned to wait until "Natsume Friends Account" was officially released before buying it.

However, the scene just now made her wonder, why would the new comic be the male lead? Although she was in the same studio, Meng Huo has not started the work of "Natsume Friends' Account", which surprised Qin Ya now.

After eating noodles with big mouthfuls, Qin Ya ran out of the restaurant and went to the comic shop, but she was stunned as soon as she arrived downstairs.

There are three comic shops opposite Phoenix Building, but you can see through the glass that line up outside the three comic shops. Most of the team are employees of Phoenix Company. Although it is not very long, if you go over and buy it, you will definitely not be able to catch up with working hours.

"It's better to go to the editorial department to get it..." Qin Ya turned decisively to the editorial department of "Weekly Girls". As a top-notch girl cartoonist, she can get any issue of comic weekly collected by the editorial department in the editorial department.

This time was no exception. After learning about Qin Ya's purpose, the editors simply gave her a brand new "Weekly Girl".

Qin Ya finally could carefully see the serial trailer for "Natsume Friends' Account", but after seeing this, her anger rose and turned around and ran to the animation department that produced "Rose Girl".

"Teacher He Xi, Teacher He Xi. You are too much!"

Qin Ya ran to the animation department angrily, kicked open the door, and screamed when she walked in.

The people in the entire department office were startled. Qin Ya looked around and suddenly was stunned: "Have Teacher He Xi not here yet?"

"No, no..." The other painters came to their senses and stared at her in surprise, shocked by the momentum she broke in.

Qin Ya walked to her desk with a calm face and put the magazine on it: "Pour me a cup of tea!"

The other painters immediately rushed to pour tea. A male painter moved the fastest and delivered the tea to Qin Ya's table as soon as possible.

"I'll tell you, Your Highness, what's wrong with you today?" The painter put down the tea for her and asked carefully: "Why did Teacher He Xi offend you? You're so angry early in the morning?"

"Hmph!" Qin Ya snorted coldly, picked up the tea and finished drinking it, and said angrily: "I discovered it today. The poster of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" he drew for me last time was not serious at all!"

The painter saw the "Weekly Girl" on the table and immediately realized his eyes.

Several female painters in the department bought "Weekly Girl" early in the morning. Before Qin Ya came, the painters were talking about the trailer cover of "Natsume Friends' Account". Although the comic serialization will only start next week, the cover of this issue is indeed very beautiful.

Qin Ya was angry and emotional when she saw such a beautiful cover. Previously, Meng Huo drew some promotional posters for Qin Ya to celebrate the animation of "The Legend of the Galaxy Singer". Although those paintings were beautiful, they were still a little worse than the cover of this trailer.

Qin Ya was so happy at that time. Now that she found that Meng Huo had not tried her best to help her draw, she would of course be unhappy.

"The cover of this magazine is indeed very beautiful, but... it's good that Teacher He Xi can prepare for you. Princess, why bother too much... Now the cartoonist who can get Teacher He Xi's help is the only one."

The painter advised that after the animation of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" was made, I don't know how many cartoonists envied Qin Ya. She was lucky enough to not be angry about this little thing.

"That's right, and the promotional poster of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" is also very beautiful!" Some female painter said a little sourly: "Qin Ya, you are in a blessing and don't know how to be blessed. If Teacher He Xi is willing to make a painting for me, I will definitely frame it and hang it at home!"

Qin Ya curled her lips: "This is too exaggerated."

However, when the painters said that her anger seemed to have dissipated a lot. Just a painting alone, it seems that he can't say that He Xi deliberately favored her. After all, he had already given her enough help. In addition to painting, there are also music, scripts and other aspects.

"I seem to be a little bit more aggressive..."

Qin Ya thought to herself and slowly calmed down again. The painters breathed a sigh of relief. Working hours were coming soon, but until fifteen minutes passed, Meng Huo was still delayed in the future, which made everyone in the animation department feel very strange.

"Princess Qin, Teacher He Xi didn't come. Please help check these paintings." A female painter moved the original painting to Qin Ya's table. Meng Huo was not there. Qin Ya was so busy that she had no time to eat snacks.

"What is Teacher He Xi doing?"

"Yes, this has never happened before. Is the teacher sick? Qin Ya, do you want to call and ask?"

Meng Huo has never been late for no reason. The female painter suggested that Qin Ya call and ask. Qin Ya can talk to Meng Huo more freely, but she did not do it immediately.

"Wait a little longer, I'll call him if he doesn't come for half an hour."

Qin Ya said. She guessed that Meng Huo must have been delayed by other things. She would never believe the guess that she was sick. Meng Huo was so healthy that she had never heard of him getting sick.

"Wait..." Qin Ya's heart suddenly moved, as if she had thought of something, and she opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"I'll ask you something." She asked the female painter: "Did Chen Jie come back yesterday?"

Recently, the topic about Chen Jie seems very lively at Phoenix Company. Yesterday she came back to go through the procedures and officially took office as the head of the firm's office. The painter also knew about it and quickly gave Qin Ya a positive answer.

"No way..." Qin Ya patted her head: "Can I prepare wedding candy?"

"What candy?" the female painter asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I said I want to eat candy!" Qin Ya said perfunctorily, but she recalled in her heart whether there was any wedding candy on her table. However, red-packaged candy should be used as wedding candy...

Ten minutes later, Meng Huo walked into the animation department with a smile on his face.

"Teacher. Why are you so late today?"

"Something delayed."

He casually answered the curiosity of some painters, and then sat next to Qin Ya, working as if nothing had happened.

"The teacher looks very happy." Qin Ya said with a weird expression: "Is there really a good thing happening?"

Meng Huo was stunned: "Can you see it?"

Qin Ya's lips trembled: "It's too obvious... the teacher didn't go to the restaurant this morning, right?"

"Do you know this?" Meng Huo was a little surprised and smiled, "Yes, it's rare that there are guests, I ate at home today."

"Are you with Shen Jie?"

Meng Huo was stunned: "How do you know?"

Qin Ya covered her head and hit the table with her head: "Sure enough! Teacher, you are obviously younger than me... you are obviously younger than me..."

This time, the painters around noticed the situation here again. Meng Huo looked at Qin Ya's actions in shock. He didn't know what she was crazy today. It was not long before Qin Ya stopped again. She took out a few red candies and threw them to Meng Huo, then pursed her lips and said two words: "Congratulations"

"What are you congratulating?" Meng Huo was not sure, but he still unpacked the packaging and put the candy in his mouth.

"It's the good thing you said." Qin Ya was secretly angry, would she say so plainly?

"Ah, you say that." Meng Huo then suddenly realized and smiled, "To be honest, I was also surprised, I didn't expect it to be so fast."

"..." Qin Ya's mouth trembled.

"There is only one round left now." Meng Huo did not notice Qin Ya's strange performance and continued: "The last round of primary elections will start next week, and the question has been determined."

Qin Ya's expression became stiff: "What?"

"Hmm? The novel competition is about... "Meng Huo glanced at Qin Ya strangely: "The list of selected items for the new round of the competition has come out. Now there is only the last round left in the primary election. I just went to the editorial department to look at the list."

"…Teacher…” Qin Ya opened her eyes wide: “This is the good thing you are talking about?”

"Otherwise?" Meng Huo looked at Qin Ya strangely. Qin Ya was stunned. After discovering her misunderstanding, she suddenly turned red, then covered her head and started hitting the table.

Meng Huo frowned and looked at her movements, then recalled the conversation just now, he slowly guessed what Qin Ya was thinking, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "Qin Ya, what did you congratulate me just now?... Do you want me to help you hit me again?"

"No...no need!" Qin Ya quickly stopped hitting her head, moved her butt away from Meng Huo, her face feeling embarrassed: "I can't blame me, who told Teacher He Xi, you didn't inform us in advance!"

Meng Huo sighed. Qin Ya thought that he was with Shen Jie last night, so it was impossible. However, the two lived close to each other and they did have breakfast together in the morning.

"Teacher, the result of the novel competition was released so soon?"

Seeing that Meng Huo was not really angry, Qin Ya immediately changed the subject.

Meng Huo shook his head: "It's actually not very fast."

The novel adaptation competition has been held for several weeks. Because they are all adapted from designated works, Phoenix Company cannot give a lot of time to contestants like original novels. In addition, several comic editorial departments are helping, and soon the last round of the primary election was reached.

“I heard that the elimination rate is very high?”

Qin Ya asked again.

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded: "More than 90%..."

He said it was very conservative. In fact, the elimination rate of the game can be said to be 99%. There were more than 100,000 people participating in the first round, and there were only more than 1,000 people released today. More than 100 people will be selected in the last round of the primary.

More than 100 people will be qualified to go to Manga Island for interviews, Meng Huo will receive them personally, and after several rounds of screening, the remaining dozen people will eventually become members of his future adaptation team.
