"Don't worry about this! Qiming, Rongcheng, you two come here!"

Zhao Chen's reaction was expected by Shangguan Xiaobao, and he immediately recruited Niu Lao and Ma Rongcheng to his side.

"Now there is a job left to you. During the serialization of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", you will be Zhao Chen's temporary assistant!"

"Master, I still have a lot of work to do. Can I not do it?" Niu Lao muttered with an unhappy expression. He naturally didn't want to be Zhao Chen's assistant because he was much older than Zhao Chen, which would be a major blow to him.

"Qi Ming, it's not that the master said you, why didn't you correct your shortcomings? This matter is not discussed! As for other things, I can ask others to help you share some of it. To be honest, it's just a temporary assistant! It's not that you are a full-time assistant. After you accumulate experience, the master will let you become a regular person. How about it?" Shangguan Xiaobao patted Niu's shoulder and said in a serious voice.

As soon as he heard that he was a regular, Niu's eyes lit up. Being a full-time cartoonist has always been his dream. Although he didn't want to be Zhao Chen's assistant, he finally nodded barely, shook his head and said, "I understand, master, I'll do it!"

"What about Rongcheng? Do you have any objections?"

"I can agree! But there is a premise that I am still writing a short comic now, and recently I am preparing a long comic. Even if others help me share some work, I still don't have enough time. So, I hope Brother Zhao will improve the original manuscript more than just drawing characters and push the rest of the work to us!"

After some thought, Ma Rongcheng expressed his inner concerns, and he was afraid that Zhao Chen would treat them as "couldid assistants". In this case, he would not have to do other things every day. Just trying to deal with Zhao Chen might not be enough.

"Don't worry, you only need to complete the basic work of the assistant, such as posting outlets, background and blacking, and I will do the rest myself! What do Brother Ma think?"

Zhao Chen was a little excited in his heart. He didn't expect that the two temporary assistants arranged by Shangguan Xiaobao would be Ma Rongcheng and Niu Lao. These two are the future big shots in the Xiangjiang comics industry; especially Ma Rongcheng, who is the top in fame! How could Zhao Chen not be excited at this time?

"Okay, then that's all. I agree to be your assistant to this comic!" Ma Rongcheng relaxed when he heard Zhao Chen say this. In his opinion, these three jobs were relatively simple, but he didn't know that he subconsciously looked at Zhao Chen at the speed of creation of ordinary cartoonists, and he felt regretful soon after.

Zhao Chen suddenly felt ecstatic. Ma Rongcheng and Niu Lao became their temporary assistants. What a thing that would be to gild himself. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Ni Fu's very famous couplet: he repeatedly wrote scripts for Zhang Che and wrote novels for Jin Yong!

When Zhao Chen thought of this couplet, he could only describe it with great care. Ni Fu's couplet was considered very boastful, but his own, at least there is a saying now: I once hired a cow and horse as an assistant!

Niu naturally refers to Niu Lao, while Ma is Ma Rongcheng. These two future big-name figures in the Xiangjiang comics industry will be regarded as characters who are the faces by Zhao Chen in the future. It is sad and lamentable! When they become famous in the future, there must be such a sentence in their resume. They once served as assistants for Zhao Chen and learned a lot from this during this period, thus establishing the status of a generation of comic masters! Even if they achieve great success in the future, they must be gold. Of course, the premise is that their fame must be greater than these two people at that time, otherwise they may be treated as negative teaching materials.

Zhao Chen then chatted with Ma Rongcheng and Niu Ma, and agreed to each other about entrusting. After Zhao Chen finished drawing the part he should draw, he would just hand over the original manuscript and the storyboard to them. As for the salary, the three of them had already agreed. During this period, Zhao Chen would pay each of them a hard work fee of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars each month.

Afterwards, Zhao Chen felt that he had a feeling of exploiting them. After all, only he knew the speed of his paintings best. These three processes were not the most time-consuming in their eyes, but in Zhao Chen's eyes, it was extremely time-consuming because he did not need to conceive the subsequent plot, nor did he need to modify it frequently, and it was even more impossible to rack his brains for various problems. What he had to do was to draw the pictures in his mind, and occasionally add something he thought was better, and fill in the loopholes in the comics.

After Zhao Chen left the Shenghuo Publishing House, he thought about it and decided to take a look at Zhou Huimin again. He was very clear about his own advantages and disadvantages. Although his own advantages are obvious, his shortcomings are also very prominent, that is, his current family background is very difficult for Zhou Huimin to get through the level of Zhou Huimin. Since that is the case, he can only strike while the iron is hot and take the opportunity to show more in front of Zhou Huimin and add more highlights. He remembers that Zhou Huimin is very stubborn and will hardly give up as long as it is determined.

Not to mention that Zhao Chen was waiting to arrive in Mong Kok on the bus, she said that early this morning, Zhou Huimin got up early and ran straight to the newsstand closest to home. She didn't even know that she was actually feeling anxious.

When she bought "Good News Magazine", when she saw the familiar cover, Zhou Huimin immediately showed a beautiful smile on her face.

"Zhao Chen did not lie to me, and it was actually serialized in "Good News Magazine". Well, before my mother went out, I hurried back to show her to see what else she could say!"

Zhou Huimin thought about this in her heart, and turned around and wanted to run towards home. However, she was anxious and did not notice that there was someone behind her. Because it was too sudden, the person behind her was not prepared and was hit and took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

This man was about to preach Zhou Huimin, but after just one look, he felt that Zhou Huimin looked familiar, and he was stunned for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I hug you very much... Hey, aren't you the uncle in the stationery store?" Zhou Huimin knew it was broken and quickly lowered her head to apologize. However, when she saw the guy she hit, she recognized it at a glance, but there was a little uncertainty in her tone. After all, no matter how good her memory was, she would not remember a person's appearance at once.

"Uh, I remembered that you were the little girl who brought Zhao Chen to my shop that day! Seeing your anxious look, is there something urgent?"

When Lin Mao heard this, he immediately reacted. No wonder he always felt familiar.

"Uncle, you don't want to buy comics drawn by Zhao Chen when you are here! Look, this one is it. I'm planning to take it home." Zhou Huimin thought Lin Mao was here to buy comics, so he pointed to the place where the "Greeting News Magazine" was placed on the newsstand and said.

Lin Mao felt completely messy for a moment. This wasn’t true! The little guy’s comics were really successful and they all appeared in the magazine.

Thinking of this, Lin Mao hurriedly followed the place where Zhou Huimin pointed, picked up a copy, looked at the corner of the cover, and after seeing the words Zhao Chen, he stood there blankly.

"Uncle, do you buy it? This is a new comic that I just read today. It's very good. I believe you will like it." The owner of the newsstand is a young man in his twenties. Seeing Lin Mao standing there holding the "Good News Magazine" without moving, he couldn't help but ask, "This uncle looked a little abnormal!

"Ah, sorry, I want this book, this is money!" As soon as the boss of the newsstand finished speaking, Lin Mao was startled and his face felt a little hot. He hurriedly took the money from his pocket and handed it to the boss. When the boss was looking for money, he took the opportunity to tear off the plastic film outside the "Good News Magazine" and stood there to watch.

"Here, I'm looking for money for you. Uncle, you need to be so exaggerated!" The owner of the newsstand held the money he had found in his hand. Seeing Lin Mao's expression and movements, he couldn't help but say in wonder, because Lin Mao was standing at the most critical place in the newsstand, which would affect his business.

"I'm so sorry!" Lin Mao heard this and hurriedly moved away from the position after taking the money so that others could choose newspapers or magazines.

"Uncle, look slowly, I'll go back first!" Seeing that there was not much time, Zhou Huimin hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Mao and ran towards his house.
