Chapter 18 3. Frustration
The section chief looked at a report expressionlessly, and Li Hui stood beside her respectfully. He made the report and it took half a month.
The section chief read the report, put it on the table, and asked Li Hui: "Xiao Li, you are here, what is your current salary?"
Li Hui said a number.
The section chief nodded: "It's been three years, it's not a short time. But I don't understand why what you make is no different from that of a rookie?"
Li Hui's face turned pale all of a sudden.
"Here, and here, the data is completely different from the results I calculated myself. I suggest that you no longer need to receive salary. I will suggest that the company temporarily suspend you until you perform to your due level. Alright , please go back to your office and call Xiao Wang here." In front of Li Hui, she crumpled the report into a paper ball and threw it into the wastebasket.
Li Hui returned to his office like a walking corpse, and called Xiao Wang over. Within five minutes, Xiao Wang also came back in a daze.The two looked at each other and smiled wryly: "This woman is too scary!"
Xiao Wang murmured, "It's like this every time. I always scare people. Damn, just because of my relationship with the boss, I became a section chief before I was thirty. If I were a woman, I... "
"Hush!" Li Hui hurriedly silenced him, "Don't let the stinky bitch hear it, or you will look good on me."
After finally getting off work, Li Hui rushed to a high-end office building. In a certain room, a man was waiting for him.
Li Hui gave him the manga manuscript that he had worked so hard for many days, and the man looked at it, his eyes lit up: "This kind of thing is definitely something that people want to read! The bloody scenes and black style, the storyline gives people a kind of brotherly feeling." Very epic flavor.”
He flipped through a few more, and his eyes stopped on a set of pictures.
He asked Li Hui: "Where did this idea come from?"
The "Rhine Killer" in the painting wears a wolf-head mask and stabs a woman with a sharp knife.The woman retreated to the corner, unable to avoid it...
Li Hui smiled: "The story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf."
"Really?" the man said, "This scene is so real...it makes people feel like they are there! Haha!"
"Haha!" Li Hui also laughed dryly, but there was no smile on his face.
Not long ago, this person who claimed to be a scout approached Li Hui. He said that he had seen Li Hui's cartoons in a remote magazine and felt that Li Hui was a talent to be created.Li Hui likes to draw cartoons. He remembers that he did publish his works in that magazine, but the magazine stopped publishing later, and he didn't draw any more because of his busy work.The man asked Li Hui to create another batch of works, and he could be responsible for distribution and packaging.
The man praised Li Hui's works, and suddenly changed his tone: "However, these works are still not qualified."
"why?"
"The story lacks completeness, and the characters are a bit thin. I suggest you try to figure it out." He poured Li Hui a glass of wine, "When your story has a coffee-like rich taste, fame is not a problem."
Li Hui took the wine glass: "Well, I will do as you said, but I have very few materials around me, so I don't know where to start."
The man handed Li Hui two books, one and "Jack the Ripper": "Put your mind into it, carefully understand the psychological activities of those criminals, and figure out their thoughts when they commit crimes."
"Thank you!" Li Hui put away the book and drank the wine in his glass.
"You look bad, haven't you had a good rest recently?"
"Hehe, insomnia, it's an old problem." Li Hui stretched his waist, "Be refreshed at night, and doze off during the day."
"It's still early to go back, let's sit here first, how about a drink or two?"
Li Hui wanted to go back in a hurry, but the hospitality was too much: "Okay, then I'll have another drink."
The man turned his back, took another bottle from the table, and poured it for Li Hui.As the wine poured more and more, an unpredictable smile suddenly appeared on the man's face.
