Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 56: New Work Exchange Meeting

The dormitory training was over, and Tong Yu and others returned to the Polar Star Dorm dormitory at noon.

This time, all members of Polar Star Dorm have passed the dormitory training, and Wenxu, the dormitory manager, was also very happy, and personally cooked a table for everyone.

In the evening, everyone gathered together to eat and occasionally chat about what happened in the dormitory training. The atmosphere of chatting and laughing was not bad. But when it was mentioned that Tong Yu and Eishan Zhijin also ate the halberd, the expression on his face became solemn.

“Ayu, are you ready to eat halberd with Senior Ruishan this time?” Ryoko asked.

“There’s not much to prepare. The theme of this halberd is drawn on the spot. If you don’t know the theme, you can’t prepare in advance.” Tong Yu replied.

“That’s right…but I always think that Eizan-senpai will use some tricks to deal with you, you have to be careful.”

“Yeah, if you have a group of gangsters, you will definitely have a bad idea!”

Yuuki, Daigo and others also reminded Tong Yu to be careful.

However, they didn’t know that Eizan Zhijin had also played tricks during the dormitory training, but they were only defeated by Tong Yu one by one.

On the first day, he met Xiao Huangmao and subdued Mimasaka Subaru. Tong Yu did not mention it to the people at Polar Star Dorm.

“Okay, don’t worry, this bet is no small matter, I won’t joke about my future.” Tong Yu said to the people in Polar Star Dorm, signaling to reassure them.

Tong Yu said so, but Isshiki Satoshi, who wanted to say something, didn’t say much.

After dinner, Tong Yu went back to the room to take a shower, and was about to rest on the bed when the phone next to the pillow rang.

Picking up the phone, I saw that it was a call from Shinji Hiroda, the editor-in-chief of Tōtsuki Manga.

“Mr. Shinji, is something wrong?” Tong Yu answered the phone and asked.

“I’m sorry to bother you so late, Tong Yu, I have something important to discuss with you…”

After some conversations on the phone, Tong Yu learned that the purpose of Haotian Shinji’s call was to let him participate in and host tomorrow’s “new work exchange meeting”.

In fact, on the second day of Tong Yu’s accommodation and training, Haotian Shinji made a phone call and told Tong Yu that he would hold an “exchange meeting” for him recently.

In the days when “China One” was released, it has been sought after by countless people, and its popularity value is also high, occupying the first place in the comics list.

Therefore, the people of the manga club decided to hold an exchange meeting between authors and readers to further boost the popularity of this manga.

Tong Yu refused at first, because holding this exchange meeting meant that he had to come forward. If one accidentally revealed his true identity, he would not have to stay in Tōtsuki, and his private life would be affected in the future.

It’s a food world after all and you never know what crazy things these food lovers will do for food…  

However, under Haotian Zhenji’s soft and hard bubbles, Tong Yu finally agreed to come forward for this exchange meeting, but only this time.

Tong Yu’s new work “Captive of Food” has also completed 5 episodes during the period of accommodation and training, and he is also planning to release it at this exchange meeting.

Therefore, the original “author-reader exchange meeting” was temporarily changed to “new work conference”.

…

Early the next morning, Shinji Haotian personally drove to Polar Star Dorm to pick up Tong Yu to the press conference.

In order not to let others know his true identity, Tong Yu put on a black-gray coat, a high hat, and a pair of sunglasses.

After getting into the car, Haotian Shinji saw Tong Yu dressed up and said, “Don’t be so nervous, because there are only a few thousand fans at the temporary exchange meeting.”

“Only a few thousand people? That’s not too much!” Tong Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Haotian Zhenji held the steering wheel with both hands, looked straight ahead, and said, “Hehe, don’t be too surprised, you now have tens of millions of fans. It is no exaggeration to say that now about one-fifth of the entire Neon Country has are your fans.”

Hearing Haotian Shinji say this, Tong Yu felt that this was the truth.

The number of fans displayed on the system panel alone has reached 1100W, not to mention some people who eat melons, so it is not surprising that there are thousands of fans at the scene.

After driving for about 40 minutes, Tong Yu and Haotian Shinji finally arrived at the venue of the new work conference – Tokyo XX Art Exhibition Center.

After Tong Yu got out of the car, a group of fans rushed over immediately.

The unprepared Tong Yu was taken aback. If not for the security, he would have been thrown to the ground by this group of crazy fans.

“Ah, he is “Qing Fengyue”, the author of “China One”? He looks so young.”

“Hey, wearing that kind of clothes and hats and sunglasses, I can’t see his true appearance at all.”

“I think he should be a handsome guy~”

Qingfengyue, this is the author’s name arbitrarily chosen by Tong Yu for publishing “China One”.

Tong Yu and Haotian Shinji finally got rid of a group of fans and finally came to the scene of the exchange meeting.

The fans at the scene were already crowded with people, and at first glance they were all black and crowded. There was no doubt that they were all fans of comics, and some female fans held high the words “Qingfengyue I love you”.

There were also quite a few TV reporters at the scene. Even though it was a temporary exchange meeting, they still rushed over after receiving the news.

Soon the exchange meeting began, and a few were randomly selected from thousands of live fans to talk with Tong Yu.

The questions raised by these lucky fans were also expected by Tong Yu, and they were nothing more than questions related to comic characters and plots.

When a female fan was randomly selected, the female fan asked a private and sensitive question.

“Please… May I ask Mr. Qingfengyue, how old are you this year, do you have a girlfriend?”

This question was asked, and there was a burst of whistles and exclamations from the scene.

Tong Yu was sweating coldly on his forehead, wondering if he should answer this question truthfully.

Haotian Shinji, who was sitting next to Tong Yu, saw that Tong Yu was embarrassed, so he relieved the siege and said, “Well, let’s talk about the author’s new work.”

Hearing this, Tong Yu made a speech: “This time my new work is called “The Captive of Food”, and it is also a food animation. However, unlike “Zhonghua Ian”, this is not only a food comic , is also a youth cartoon full of bloody battles! It has food, dreams, friendship and family…”
