Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

The editors-in-chief of all three companies readily agreed.

"Haha, awesome!" After hanging up the phone, Su Mingyang cheered and hummed a little tune as he walked into the living room, feeling extremely happy.

"Mingyang, I bought breakfast. There are steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and millet porridge. Come and eat!" Lin Wanyu said with a smile.

"Ha, that's wonderful. Wanyu is truly virtuous." Su Mingyang joked before going into the bathroom to wash up.

Lin Wanyu blushed, feeling secretly delighted.

After Su Mingyang finished washing up, Hu Yifei and Lu Zhanbo also got up.

Several people sat around the dining table eating breakfast.

"By the way, I have some good news to tell everyone," Su Mingyang said mysteriously, taking a sip of millet porridge.

"What good news?" Lu Zhanbo asked, puzzled.

"Mingyang, don't tell me yet, let me guess." Hu Yifei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked with surprise, "Is it because Ziqiao got that girl's phone number for you last night? Are you going to start dating?"

"What?" Su Mingyang rolled his eyes and laughed, "It's my comic that got picked up by the comic book company."

"No way, people actually buy your comics?" Hu Yifei looked incredulous.

"What, you disagree?" Su Mingyang pouted.

"Sister, although Mingyang's drawing isn't very good, you can't say that," Lu Zhanbo reminded her.

Lin Wanyu retorted, "I have read Mingyang's comics carefully, and the plot is quite interesting."

"Wanyu understands me best." Su Mingyang smiled at Lin Wanyu, a slight upturn to his lips.

"I was just joking. I'd be happy if Mingyang's comics sold well. I'm even counting on him to treat me to a meal," Hu Yifei said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you to dinner once my comics sell." Su Mingyang waved his hand dismissively.

"Great!" Lin Wanyu's eyes curved into crescent moons.

At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxian pushed open the door and walked quickly to the dining table, swallowing a steamed bun in one gulp. He said in a cheeky manner, "Ha, it seems I've come at just the right time. Mingyang, you just told me you were going to treat us to dinner. Remember to take me with you then."

"Don't worry, Teacher Zeng, I'll never forget you, no matter who else I forget. You won't even have to pack up the food later," Su Mingyang teased.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian choked on the half-eaten bun and coughed repeatedly.

"Hahaha." Everyone burst out laughing.

After breakfast, Zeng Xiaoxian went back to 3602 to catch up on sleep, while Lu Zhanbo had an interview today and hurriedly left.

Hu Yifei went to school.

3601 is now down to Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu.

"Mingyang, it seems I need to find a job too. Staying at home all day is so boring," Lin Wanyu said dejectedly.

“Sure, Wanyu, what kind of job do you want to do?” Su Mingyang asked.

“I think being a print model suits me quite well,” Lin Wanyu said.

"A print model?" Su Mingyang muttered to himself.

My mind started wandering to some obscure websites where models were filming privately.

Ahem, sorry, I got the wrong idea...

Su Mingyang pushed aside the unhealthy images in his mind and instructed, "Wanyu, if you want to be a print model, remember to find a reputable company. You must pay attention to your safety, understand? In particular, be wary of photographers."

Lin Wanyu is too innocent and beautiful; Su Mingyang is really afraid she will be deceived.

"Ok, I know."

Lin Wanyu felt a warm glow in her heart. She then took out the computer she had borrowed from Lu Zhanbo, sat down next to Su Mingyang, and smiled:

"Mingyang, I just sent out my resume, and several companies have already invited me for interviews. Could you take a look at it for me?"

"Okay." Su Mingyang nodded.

The editors-in-chief of those three comic book publishing houses won't arrive until 10 o'clock, so they're just idling around anyway.

Su Mingyang browsed through the listings and immediately spotted a scam company. He turned to Wanyu and explained, "Wanyu, look, this company charges you for an interview. It's obviously a training institution."

"Okay, then." Lin Wanyu nodded.

"This one won't do either; it's obviously a shell company."

"Uh-huh……"

Su Mingyang explained the selection process to Lin Wanyu as he went.

The two were very close.

Lin Wanyu blushed slightly as she realized this was her first time alone with Su Mingyang, and her heart pounded faster and faster.

Su Mingyang didn't notice Lin Wanwan's unusual behavior. He continued looking at the last few companies for her.

……

"Alright, let's go to these companies for interviews," Su Mingyang said with a smile.

"Okay, Mingyang, thank you."

Lin Wanyu thanked him, got up to close her laptop, and leaned forward, bumping into Su Mingyang's elbow, which was resting on the coffee table.

With a sudden blush, Lin Wanyu's pretty face flushed red, and she froze on the spot, unsure of how to react.

Su Mingyang was also stunned. He wanted to say something to ease the awkwardness, but then a thought flashed through his mind, and he smiled and said, "Wanyu, you're too thin. You need to eat more."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu blushed even more and hurriedly ran into her room with her laptop.

"..."

Chapter 23 Guan Gu was shocked!

Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow at Lin Wanyu, who had "fled in disarray".

This little girl is shy.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Su Mingyang got up and opened the door, only to see three middle-aged men standing outside.

The three men deliberately kept a distance from each other, appearing harmonious on the surface, but a subtle tension was brewing beneath.

As soon as they saw Su Mingyang, they quickly approached him and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Su home?"

Su Mingyang glanced at them and smiled, "That's me. You must be the editors-in-chief of the comics club."

"Yes, I am Hu Dafa, the editor-in-chief of Zhike. I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so young and handsome. It's really beyond my expectations." Hu Dafa adjusted his glasses and praised him.

"Hello, I'm Chen Fangnian, the editor-in-chief of Manjia." Chen Fangnian saw that Su Mingyang appeared calm, but the way his fingers kept changing position betrayed his inner anxiety.

"Mr. Su, hello, I am Xu Haiyang, the editor-in-chief of Huahun." Xu Haiyang smiled broadly, his short and stout figure resembling a Maitreya Buddha.

"Come in and sit down to talk," Su Mingyang said, leading them to the sofa.

The three of them quickly sat down, just about to speak.

The knocking sounded again. Su Mingyang opened the door and saw Guan Gu Shenqi.

"Mingyang-jun, I'd like to see your comics and learn from them, is that alright?" Guan Gu Shenqi said, scratching the back of his head.

Su Mingyang smiled and said, "Of course, but now the editors-in-chief of three comic book companies have come and want to sign my comics. I'll bring them over to you in a bit."

"You damn dog, Mingyang-kun, is your comic so popular? Three companies want it?" Guan Gu Shenqi was shocked.

He had been drawing comics for several years, and when he submitted his work to comic book publishers, he was often rejected. He had never encountered a situation where three publishers wanted his work at the same time.

His most prized masterpiece, "Love Triangle," was tragically canceled.

"Haha, it's alright," Su Mingyang said modestly.

Guan Gu Shenqi hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat shyly, "Mingyang-jun, could you introduce me to them? Because I'd like to submit my work to them if possible in the future."

“Of course,” Su Mingyang readily agreed.

"That's great, thank you, Mingyang-kun." Guan Gu Shenqi bowed to Su Mingyang excitedly.

Su Mingyang smiled slightly and introduced Guan Gu to the editors-in-chief of the three comic book publishing houses.

When the three editors learned that Guan Gu Shenqi was a cartoonist from Japan, they offered him polite praise.

They didn't say much, since their main purpose in coming here was for the One-Punch Man figure in Su Mingyang's possession.

Guan Gu Shenqi didn't mind. In order to understand the comic book market in China, he sat down to listen after obtaining Su Mingyang's permission.

Su Mingyang took a sip of tea and looked at the three of them before slowly speaking: "The three editors-in-chief, I have already made it very clear on the phone that whichever comic book company offers the higher salary and fees, that's the company I will sign One-Punch Man with. Now, each of you can tell me yours."

Upon hearing this, Hu Dafa adjusted his glasses and spoke first: "Mr. Su, I wonder which signing method you prefer? Let me explain it to you in detail now."

"As for revenue sharing, when One-Punch Man is published as a standalone book, we at Zhiyin are willing to give you 10% of the royalties for each book."

"The guaranteed revenue share is 500 yuan per page, plus 4% royalties per book."

"If we buy it outright, it's 1000 yuan per page. What do you think?"

Su Mingyang had previously learned about the Chinese comics industry.

Generally, the fee for a newcomer's work is no more than 100 yuan per page.

As for royalty sharing, it is generally between 3% and 10%.
