In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

"Oh, that's fine. Hubby, come over and help serve the dishes. We can discuss anything after dinner." Meiya whispered to Guangzhi.

"Xiao Xin, you go help too." Mingxu glanced at Xiao Xin, and he reluctantly went to the kitchen to help him, mumbling, "Okay, got it."

"Oh, here it comes." Guangzhi knew it was not his fault and he breathed a sigh of relief. After putting down his things and bringing the dishes to the table, he changed his clothes and the family sat down at the table. Mingxu helped Guangzhi get the beer and the glass and poured it for him.

"Sha, cool! I'm alive!" After drinking half a glass of beer, Guangzhi shook his head, wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth and shouted.

"By the way, Xiaoxu, do you have anything you want to discuss with us?" Guangzhi then remembered what Meiya had just said and asked curiously.

"Eat first, and talk after you finish." Before Mingxu could say anything, Meiya came over with the last dish and interrupted Guangzhi.

"Oh, then let's start eating!" Guangzhi knew he couldn't ask any more questions now, so he could only shout.

"I'm starting!" Everyone followed the local customs and shouted with their hands clasped together. Because there was something to discuss, Xiaoxin didn't do anything weird this time. Everyone was thinking about something, so the meal was finished quietly.

After eating and drinking and packing up, the family sat neatly at the table, waiting for discussion.

"Okay, tell me what's the matter." Guangzhi said when he saw the whole family had arrived.

Meiya and Mingxu looked at each other. Just as Mingxu was about to speak, he saw Xiaoxin took out a stack of papers and put them on the table, and shouted to Guangzhi: "Dad, look, this is the comic that Xiaoxu drew. I want to go... uh... do what?" As he spoke, Xiaoxin forgot the words and turned to look at Mingxu with questioning eyes.

"Ah." Mingxu sighed. Xiaoxin still had to learn more. He pointed to the manuscript on the table and said to Guangzhi: "Dad, take a look at these first."

Guangzhi opened the manuscript on the table with confusion: "Wow, a ninja comic, Xiaoxu has a good idea." Guangzhi praised while reading.

There weren't many manuscripts, so Guangzhi finished reading them in no time. He glanced at Mingxu and asked, "What's next?"

"...Dad, should we discuss this issue first instead of the problem with the manuscript below?" Mingxu said speechlessly.

"Oh, yes. So you are going to submit the paper with it, right?" Although Guangzhi was asking, his tone was affirmative.

"That's right. What do you think about this?" Mingxu asked. Meiya covered Xiaoxin's mouth and did not interrupt.

"I have two questions. First, do you want to go under your own name or someone else's? Second, will you be able to publish the manuscript in time without interrupting your normal life?" Guangzhi asked Mingxu two questions. He was also very confident that his child's comic book could be successfully published! At this moment, he did not treat Mingxu as a child.

"First of all, it's not appropriate for me to be too prominent right now. Under the best case scenario, you should come under your name. Dad needs to go to work, so it's only Mom who can come." Mingxu paused, looked at Meiya and said, "Secondly, I have a draft in mind. It won't interfere with my life. I can take a little time to come here and not delay the deadline." Mingxu expressed his point of view, then looked at Guangzhi and Meiya, wanting to hear their opinions.

"Meiya, what do you think?" Guangzhi looked at Meiya and asked. From a certain point of view, taking over Mingxu's comics under the name of Meiya is also a good idea.

"Ah? Me?" Mei Ya had a puzzled look on her face. How did the problem suddenly come to her? Mei Ya thought for a moment and gave up: "I'll listen to you."

Guangzhi nodded: "In that case, let's take these manuscripts to submit tomorrow. I know someone who works at Shuangye Publishing House. I'll contact him later. We can go there together tomorrow as it's the weekend. You can also listen to Xiaoxu's advice on some things later." After saying that, after everyone agreed, Guangzhi got up and went to the entrance, took out the phone book and made a call.

"Xiaoxu, is this really okay?" Xiaoxin looked at Mingxu and asked with some concern.

"It's okay. Mom is at home most of the time. It's no big deal to have another comic strip." Mingxu explained, both to Shin-chan and Misaya, to put her mind at ease.

Guangzhi came back soon and said to everyone with a smile: "No problem, we have agreed on a location, everyone will bring the manuscript to him tomorrow to have a look, if there is no problem, we can sign the agreement on Monday when we go to work. Of course, we can discuss the agreement in advance."

"Then let's get ready, take a shower, and go to bed, and then welcome tomorrow!" Guangzhi waved his arms: "Nohara family! Come on!"

"Come on!" everyone shouted in unison.

Of course, considering that Mingxu is still a child, they bought a toaster and a milk cooker for safety reasons. Just put the bread and milk in and press the button to cook them automatically. Mingxu just needs to wait until they are ready and put things in place. Guangzhi even gave up his plan to bring a lunch box and prepared to eat out with his colleagues.

After dinner, everyone got ready and went out. On the way, we met the aunt next door and said hello.

Everyone arrived at the agreed coffee shop some time in advance, ordered drinks and waited for people to arrive.

The person soon arrived, and when he saw her coming, Guangzhi stood up and greeted her: "Chunming, this way."

Mingxu didn't expect that Guangzhi's colleague who worked in a publishing house was a woman, and she seemed to have a very strong aura.

"Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. Take out the things and let's have a look. You should know that I am very strict. Don't blame me if it doesn't pass the test." Chunming came over and said in a businesslike manner, then introduced himself: "My name is Bai Chunming."

"Oh, hello, Miss Bai. This is the manuscript of the comic. Please take a look." Mei Ya didn't waste any words. She took out the manuscripts and handed them to her. Of course, she didn't give her all of them. Only a part of them was handed over. Mingxu also showed Mei Ya and the others a part of it in advance.

"Well, it's good, very thoughtful." After looking at it for a few times, Bai Chunming nodded. After a while, after finishing the comic, she looked at Guangzhi and asked, "Is this comic drawn by your wife?"

"Yes." Guangzhi said firmly.

"Yes, I drew it." Meiya didn't deny it. After all, this was agreed upon in advance.

"My mother spent a long time drawing this!" Xiaoxin jumped onto the table and shouted, then was pulled down by Mingxu to sit down.

"Okay, then let's discuss the agreement." Bai Chunming was also very optimistic about this comic book, and he decided on it without saying anything. The next step was to discuss their respective interests, which Guangzhi was familiar with.

In the end, everyone settled on a 60:40 agreement between the author and the publisher. This was something Mingxu had not expected. It seemed that this guy had a lot of power in the publisher! After the deal was settled, everyone agreed on a time to sign the contract and then separated.
