“How prestigious, you’re a champions.h.i.+p winner, and did I just see a cla.s.smate confess to you?” Qin Jiao said as she tossed another heart-wrenching statement, “What do you think Wu Tong will feel if she knows?”
Meng Fan’s happy heart was once again blocked. “If you said you were my mother’s real daughter, I believe it, regardless if others do or not.”
Qin Jiao rolled her eyes at Meng Fan, then began to talk business. “I told Yi Xin the reason why you refused the contract, remember him, the editor that graduated from our department. He regretfully sighed, then said if your future comics need a contract to contact him. I sent you his WeChat info.”
Meng Fan nodded. He knew that even if he had the popularity from his stream, alongside Penguin Animation’s resources, he would not be able to receive special treatment. Unless he was a famous streamer and a well-known manga artist.
As a result, he decided his original choice was right, saving him a lot of trouble.
After adding him in WeChat, Qin Jiao said, “I just happen to have a book number available at the publis.h.i.+ng house. I originally wanted to give it to a senior student, but it’s yours if you urgently needed. I can just ask for a few more from the publis.h.i.+ng office. An editor is already on his way to Penguin Animations to check it out, so if it’s successful, I’ll let you know tonight. I’ve seen your manga. It’s a bit troll, but not overboard, so it shouldn’t be hard to submit for approval. Regarding the payment method, whether it’s by you or the publis.h.i.+ng company, we will have to wait and see the dates they provide.”
Meng Fan smiled. “The way you go about things is like my mom, clean, to the point, and without any hindrances… Are you sure you’re not my mom’s real daughter?”
Qin Jiao chuckled. “I’m nowhere near as efficient as professor. She wanted to see Wu Tong, so she saw her.”
Meng Fan clutched his chest. “I wanted to thank you, but you blocked me again!”
“Who cares about that?!”
Qin Jiao gracefully turned and pranced away in her high heels out of Meng Fan’s vision.
He watched her suddenly stop after turning. Initially, she had plenty of things to ask the kid, but she’d forgotten about it for a few moments of satisfaction!
“Professor Qin, what’s wrong, did you hurt your foot?”
At this time, a male teacher jogged over, seemingly concerned.
When Qin Jiao had paused mid-step, this male teacher a.s.sumed she had twisted her ankle. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
“Don’t call me professor Qin.”
“What?”
“Call me director Qin.”
She proceeded to clack away in her high heels.
The male teacher’s eyes followed Qin Jiao as she left until he couldn’t see her anymore. He had been abused by this atmosphere… His body was charged with electricity, throat tightening up. “Is that not what I’m supposed to call the queen?”
…
Since Qin Jiao called him out to talk, Meng Fan did not return to the bleachers. He thought about finis.h.i.+ng some drafts but decided against it. The entire school was in a carnival mood, it was too hardcore for him to be slaving away on ma.n.u.scripts. He might as well be idle. He opened the stream and took the fickle netizens on a shopping spree of the Art Academy’s charity market.
There were over 300,000 viewers on his stream now. Most of the netizens had gradually adjusted to Meng Fan’s unprofessionalism in the drawing streams category. He started out drawing in the studio, then moved onto streaming pretty girls having their caricatures drawn, which was immediately followed by some marathon and running to Shanghai from Hangzhou. After this, he took the netizens on a bunch of night tours, and most recently he’d began streaming basketball arcade machines… compared to these activities, streaming a charity market was nothing out of the ordinary.
Of course, the art academy’s charitable market were very worth watching.
First off, the people were attractive.
There were almost too many good looking girls and boys, and not only were their faces and figures were great, but their fas.h.i.+on sense was also top quality.
There were more than a dozen students from the animation department standing in a row, all dressed up in cosplay. Out of them, more than half were girls, whose costumes from the opening ceremony had been sold instantly right after the event ended. Today, they collectively wore a gothic lolita uniform.
The c.u.mbersome mix of different dark colors, superimposed with roses, spiders, th.o.r.n.y vines, vampires, blood marks, and dolls without a trace of life. In addition to all of them being small and slender girls with umbrellas… The visual effect was too great. At least when Meng Fan approached the animation department’s stalls, his stream exploded.
“I just love it when Meng fatty brings us to see these exciting scenes.”
“I like the second one to the left, she’s so cute!”
“The first one on the right can cosplay Yui Kotegawa from Toraburu!”
“The power of learning animation +1024!”
“Ah ah, Perona! Meng host, I want to buy the plus.h.i.+e that ghost princess Perona is holding! Please s.h.i.+p it to me!”
“Please s.h.i.+p me the drawing in front of Victorique!”
“Please, I’d like to purchase the figure of Suigintou!”
“Please s.h.i.+p…”
Meng Fan was streaming from his phone, so he could see their live comments spamming the screen. Seeing the room suddenly become a group buy market page, he was quite proud.
“Iron uncle, great job!”
The students from the animation department saw Meng Fan approach and greeted him with warmth. The funniest thing was that these lolis maintained their personas, so even speaking the words ‘iron uncle’, they kept their arrogance and indifference.
Meng Fan was stunned for a moment, making sure that the cute girl wasn’t among them. Did the t.i.tle ‘Iron uncle’ become the consensus of the lolita girls?
Only, why are the guys also in on it too?!
Another barrage of comments broke out in the stream channel.
Meng Fan greeted them and told them he was streaming. Seeing they were happy to be in the lens, each one striking a cool or mournful pose in front of the camera. Meng Fan was peaceful as he filmed them.
As for the stream, it was all chaos.
Following after several requests came in for procurements, saying they had to contribute to the charity sale. One of the gentlemen even went as far as to ask Meng Fan to procure a ‘kiss’ from one of the lolitas.
Meng Fan saw this and thought about it for a moment. He smiled, and spoke to the netizens, “There’s no need for procurement. I will buy it and give it to you guys as a gift. I won’t do a lucky draw, just tell me what you guys want, and I’ll let fate decide. It can belong to whoever’s name I call. Is there any management here? Help me write down the names and the items that have been reported, then ask them for their address.”
“I’m here.”
Bee sent Meng Fan a WeChat message.
Upon seeing this, Meng Fan began his “procurement service”.
“KindMrZhao, the ill.u.s.trations you want of Kenpachi Zaraki are not easy to look at at all. I’ve purchased it, Bee, write it down.”
“For your girlfriend? Is this s.h.i.+n-chan body pillow also for your girlfriend?”
“I want to be a man from One Piece. Are you sure it’s appropriate for you to want the figure of Momosuke?”
“NinQueslackofabuse, you wanted the plus.h.i.+e Perona was holding. Bee, write that down.”
“w.a.n.g Yi, You want the th.o.r.n.y rose, whoa, it’s sharp to the touch.”
“Snake something something Haze—Why did you force a symbol in your name—You wanted the figure of Orochimaru.”
“ShenTuMingLiang, you wanted the outfit worn by Victorique… Oh, the pretty lady is asking if you want it washed first before she sends it?”
Hearing this, the fickle netizens in the stream were dumbfounded. Then, the stream began to boil.
“Are the clothes they’re wearing part of the charity sale too?”
“How come no one told me beforehand?!”
“I want to know how ShenTu brother thought of such a thing, how can he be so wise and daring!”
