Chapter 130 - The Manga Artist and His Assistant (2/2)

Dubai.

Liang Qing hung up the phone and looked at Meng Chuan, who was watching her conversation. Smiling, she said, “Didn’t I say so? Everything is under control.”

“It is very assertive and self-confident. Normal girls would doubt themselves and end their relationship with you or cling onto you for their life. This girl is calm.” Meng Chuan smiled then sighed. “Only Fan…”

“Fan is like you; he’s tough.” Said Liang Qing.

…

Meng Fan left the restaurant in a heavy mood. He wasn’t angry nor frustrated. More like he had experienced a disaster which ended in a farce. After a strong wind, it seemed only his heart was a bit messy and everywhere else had stayed the same.

Everything appeared to be normal. He had confessed to Wu Tong, which she did not accept. However, she didn’t refuse it either.

“She says that she will like the best version of me… She says she deserves to have the best version of me…”

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t help but smile.

“Why are you laughing so dumbly!”

Chen Da Qiang, who was on his way to tutoring, saw Meng Fan smirking as he was headed for the school gate. He couldn’t help but laugh and walk over to give Meng Fan a pound. “Pigeon said you went to pick up Wu Tong. Seeing you smiling like that, it must be because of her right?”

Meng Fan chuckled and said, “Where are you going?”

“To tutoring of course.” Chen Da Qiang said.

Meng Fan nodded and said a few lines before suddenly turning and stopping Chen Da Qiang. “I almost forgot to tell you. I accepted Mr. Sleepy’s adaptation for his novel, right? I need an assistant. Would you be willing to give me a hand?”

Chen Da Qiang quietly stuck his hand out.

“Are you a psycho!?”

Slap. Meng Fan still hit it then smiled again. “If you’re interested, in addition to your tutoring job, you shouldn’t take on any more students. There will be a lot of work.”

“Got it.”

Chen Da Qiang nodded and left the school.

After accepting Mr.Sleepy’s manga adaption, he began to consider the prospects of an assistant. His hand speed was faster, but there was a lot to do in a day. Plus, he had to do the illustrations for “Guide to Campus RoMANce” and some other novel illustrations.

Even if the updates for “Guide to Campus RoMANce” dropped only once every three days or twice a week, he no longer took any illustrator jobs. Time was still tight, so he needed an assistant.

The work of an artist’s assistant usually included but was not limited to, outlining, shading, scanning, task dialogue, backgrounds, special effects, etc.

As for the core contents of the plots, it would have nothing to do with them.

Being an assistant to a manga artist was a rather cumbersome and boring task. It was not an exaggeration to say that it had to be forced. When Meng Fan thought about searching for an assistant, Chen Da Qiang was the first person that came to mind.

Chen Da Qiang was the kind of person who could focus his mind and work hard on his task. He was diligent, conscientious and patient. He was very suitable for tutoring. Of course, he was also very suitable to be an assistant to Meng Fan.

He felt comfortable giving the job to Da Qiang.

At least out of the entire class, and among all the art students he knows, Chen Da Qiang was the most suitable.

As for Xing Ta Ge and Zhang Zhou Wei, he did not have to consider them. One was lazy, the other could find a thousand excuses to be lazy.

Also, Chen Da Qiang’s drawing skills were also very solid.

Of course, Chen Da Qiang would be different from a regular assistant if he worked with Meng Fan. Aside from all the regular duties of an assistant, Meng Fan would discuss the storyline with him and allow him to participate in the entire creation and adaptation process of the manga.

It was not that his brother’s future days were going to be crushed with work since Meng Fan knew that Chen Da Qiang also had the heart to become a manga artist. At this time, he would not only receive a manuscript fee, but he would also receive credits on the publication as well.
