Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Seeing that the two students seemed sincere, the teacher didn't say anything more, turned around gently, and continued lecturing.

As soon as the bell rang, Zhou Yecheng, like a frightened bird, hurriedly packed his things and ran away without even having time to say goodbye to Chen Chen.

He walked hurriedly, as if something terrible was chasing him.

After that incident, he was nowhere to be seen on campus for several days in a row.

He used to be a lively figure, always moving around the classrooms and corridors, but now he seems to have vanished into thin air.

Having nothing to do that day, Lü Zihan strolled over to Chen Chen, a playful smile on her face, and teased him:
"Chen Ergou, do you remember you took on a little apprentice? He used to follow you around like a puppy, but it's been days and I haven't seen a trace of him."

Chen Chen frowned slightly upon hearing Lu Zihan's teasing, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He gently patted Lü Zihan's shoulder and said:
"I was wondering the same thing. I don't know what happened to this kid. He just disappeared without a word."

Lu Zihan raised an eyebrow with interest, the corners of her mouth curving upwards even wider, her smile spreading like ripples, growing even more intense:
"Could it be because of that incident in class last time when the teacher called on you? You feel so embarrassed that you're too ashamed to come to see you here in your second year?"

Chen Chen rolled his eyes at him, annoyed, and said in a curt tone:
"No way, this kid usually seems to have a cheerful personality. He wouldn't hide away and avoid people over such a trivial matter."

Chen Chen had barely finished speaking when that familiar voice came from the side, clear and cheerful:

"Senior, I'm here."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhou Yecheng walking briskly towards them with a big smile on his face, carrying several bottles of drinks in his hand.

He walked over and handed the drinks to Chen Chen and Lü Zihan, smiling as he said:
"These are for you, seniors."

Lu Zihan took the drink and asked with a malicious smile:
"Where have you been these past few days? We've been looking for you everywhere. We thought you'd given up on the class because of that thing."

Zhou Yecheng scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"I've been caught writing things by our Chinese teacher lately, so I'm locked in the office every day and I'm so busy I'm dizzy."

I finally escaped from the teacher's clutches today, so I rushed over to find the senior students!

Chen Chen smiled and patted Zhou Yecheng on the shoulder, saying:
"So that's how it is. I knew you weren't the type to back down at the first sign of trouble. What are you writing that's making such a big fuss about?"

Zhou Yecheng sighed helplessly and said:
"Recently, I've been learning to write novels from you, so I've changed my writing style a bit."

The school was holding an essay competition, and the teacher thought my writing was pretty good, so she insisted I participate. These past few days I've been researching and drafting, and it's exhausted me.

Lu Zihan's eyes lit up, and he joked:
"I didn't know you had this talent! You'd better write well and try to win an award to bring us honor. You're Chen Ergou's first apprentice, so don't embarrass him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen nudged his chest.

Zhou Yecheng smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said:

"I'm just forcing myself to do it, I don't even know if I can do it well. Besides, there are so many strong competitors this time, I'm actually quite unsure of myself," Chen Chen encouraged.
"Don't lack confidence. Since your teacher thinks you can do it, you must have some special qualities. Just write seriously and do your best. The result isn't important; what's important is enjoying the process. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Upon hearing Chen Chen's words, a resolute glint flashed in Zhou Yecheng's eyes. He nodded firmly and said:

"Yes, you're right, senior. I'll definitely write well. By the way, senior, you have a lot of experience in writing. Could you teach me some techniques?"

Chen Chen thought for a moment and said:

"The most important thing in writing is to have genuine feelings; what you write must be able to move the reader. Also, the structure must be clear, the logic must be coherent, and the language must be accurate and vivid."

Reading excellent works regularly, learning from their writing techniques, and accumulating good words and phrases will all help your writing.

As Zhou Yecheng listened, he nodded attentively, occasionally taking out his phone to record the conversation, and said:
"Senior, what you said is so useful. I hadn't paid much attention to these things before. It seems I still have a lot of work to do."

Lu Zihan said with a smile from the side:
"Alright, stop listening to theory here. Practice makes perfect. Go back and write your essay. When you're done, show it to us and we'll give you some advice."

Zhou Yecheng looked at the two of them gratefully and said:
"Thank you, seniors. With your support and guidance, I feel much more at ease. I will go back and think about it carefully, and try to write an article that will satisfy both the teacher and the seniors."

After speaking, Zhou Yecheng chatted with the two for a few more minutes before bidding farewell with great enthusiasm, ready to immerse himself in the writing for the essay contest.

Zhou Yecheng had his own things to do, and Chen Chen and the others weren't idle either.

With the elimination of malicious competition, the studio's development environment has become much more relaxed.

In addition, their comic style is mostly lighthearted and humorous, always bringing readers a pleasant reading experience with humorous plots and vivid and interesting pictures.

As word-of-mouth gradually built up, the comic's popularity on online platforms soared, and the number of fans grew exponentially.

Every day, a large number of readers leave comments in the comment section, expressing their love for the comics and offering various interesting ideas and suggestions, which greatly encourages Chen Chen and his team.

In order to live up to the readers' expectations, the team members devoted themselves even more to the creation.

As a key figure, Chen Chen not only has to devise exciting storylines, but also control the overall style and quality of the comic.

He often spends the whole day in his studio after class, immersing himself in building storylines and forgetting to eat or sleep.

Lin Muxi and others, who were in charge of the painting, were equally meticulous. In order to make the picture more exquisite and vivid, they repeatedly polished every detail, striving for perfection from the characters' expressions to the background.

As the influence of comics in the market continues to spread outwards like ripples, their popularity is growing day by day.

Some astute businesses recognized the huge business opportunities involved and took the initiative to approach the studio, hoping to reach a cooperation agreement.

In light of the numerous collaboration offers from businesses, Chen Chen specifically convened a meeting with the studio members. (End of Chapter)
