Chapter 350 - Chapter 350 Chapter 349 Fiery Conan

Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Fiery Conan Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Fiery Conan “Thought so!” Wang Qian threw herself into Wang Hao’s arms, wrapping her arms around his neck with a laugh, “You got here so quickly, I thought I’d have to wait at least another ten minutes, hee hee!”

The two had grown up together, childhood sweethearts without a doubt, and now their reunion was especially heartwarming.

Li Qingqing watching from the side was absolutely gobsmacked!

Was this the cousin Wang Qian had talked about? He couldn’t possibly be any cooler!

Compared to him, that Yuan Tianyu was just an accessory, a lackey!

“I heard from my mom you lost your wallet, I sped over here,” said Wang Hao with a smile once Wang Qian got off him. “Have you eaten yet? If not, Brother Hao will treat you to a feast!”

“I haven’t eaten yet!” Today was truly a surprise, Wang Qian said crisply, “I was just waiting for Brother Hao to treat me to a feast, hee hee!”

“Then let’s go,” Wang Hao promptly pulled open the car door, “Get in, we’ll go somewhere nice today!”

“Great!” Wang Qian smiled sweetly, taking Li Qingqing by the hand, “Qingqing, let’s go, today Brother Hao is treating, we’re going grand!”

“Is this… okay?” Li Qingqing asked shyly, tempted but a bit embarrassed.

The entrance of Wang Hao had indeed shocked her, not because she was gold-digging, but because Brother Hao had that unique, undeniable cool charisma.

“You’re Little Qianqian’s classmate, right?” Wang Hao said with a smile as he opened the car door, “Get in, let’s all go have a bite.”

“Okay… okay,” Li Qingqing blushed, still slightly embarrassed but she got in the car anyhow.

Wang Qian gave Wang Hao a knowing look, whispering, “Brother Hao might have a chance!”

A chance my ass, am I that kind of person?!

Dammit, I hope so, fucking hell!

“Get in first and we’ll talk,” said Wang Hao as he got into the car and then stepped on the gas, off to eat!

Leaving Yuan Tianyu in a mess in the wind…

No helping it, that’s Brother Hao for you! Invincible!

The Maserati headed towards the city center, going somewhere upscale given it was for a big meal. They hadn’t gone far when suddenly Wang Qian urgently said, “Brother Hao, wait! Emergency!”

“What’s the emergency?” Wang Hao pulled the car over to the side of the road only to see Wang Qian and Li Qingqing hurriedly running towards a place. There was a long line at the door, at least twenty or thirty people, no clue what for. Wang Hao looked up and saw a sign–Renhe Bookstore.

What’s going on here? Who queues for books these days?

Curious, Wang Hao followed and casually asked a student in line, “What’s all this for? Why such a long queue, what book?”

“How do you not know?” The guy didn’t even spare him a glance, just craned his neck towards the store entrance, “Quit talking, can’t you see I’m in line?”

What exactly is going on?

Wang Hao clueless, asked again, “But what book is it?”

“Conan!” The guy finally replied, “Today is the launch of the third volume of Conan, ah, I’m freaking out, how do you think they solve it this time?”

Wang Hao: “…”

Then someone ahead in the line turned around and said, “Dude, who do you think the killer is? I bet it’s that Wang Xiaosan, it’s definitely him!”

“I think it’s Liu Xiaoneng,” the guy shook his head, “He just looks the most like a murderer! Hope I can get one this time! I borrowed it from a classmate last time, just had it for an hour before it got taken back because his girlfriend’s sister wanted it, damn!”

“Exactly,” the guy ahead said, “Now they aren’t printing enough, each bookstore only gets a hundred copies! Last week I came at nine in the morning, the bookstore opened at eight thirty, damn, they were all gone, my girlfriend cussed me out good!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Fuck, should I make a run for it? Otherwise these crazy fans would devour me alive if they knew I was the author!

As expected, Wang Hao was still pondering when he heard the guy behind say, “You guys don’t understand shit, this is called scarcity marketing! If I can’t buy it, I’m going to curse online, damn dogshit author, really effing dragging it out–”

“Right, right,” the guy ahead nodded, “Damn, this author updates too slowly, if I find out who he is, I’ve got to trap him outside his building and beat the crap out of him!”

Wang Hao wiped the sweat from his brow, “…”

Just then, a guy ahead in line cheered, “Hahaha! Finally got it! I can give it to my girlfriend now! Haha!”

Then, the people queued up behind him burst forward with a rumbling sound–

“Holy crap, the stock is here! Hurry!”

“We’ll miss out if we’re too late!”

Wang Hao stood on the side, getting pushed around, the punches, the moves; damn, they were fighting for their lives!

A group of people desperately squeezed inside and those who had managed to get the book started reading on the spot, loudly exclaiming, “Holy crap! So it was him! Damn, this is godlike! I’ve never even heard of such a method of committing crimes before!”

Wang Hao: “…”

No way, I’ve got to get out of here fast. This place is lethal!

At that moment, Wang Qian was still waving at Wang Hao: “Brother Hao, over here! This way! Hurry over and help me in line, I can’t squeeze through them!”

Like hell there’s still a line, just run for it! How much of this stuff do I need, seriously?!

“Let’s go, let’s go, hurry up,” Wang Hao rushed over, grabbed Wang Qian and started to leave: “Get in the car first, we’ll eat first, let’s eat first!”

“I haven’t bought it yet!” Wang Qian cried anxiously, “They’ll sell out if it’s too late!”

Beside her, Li Qingqing was nodding vigorously; she was a Conan fan too!

“Screw buying, your Brother Hao can get it for you!” Wang Hao dragged Wang Qian away, saying, “Trust me, it’ll be fine. Let’s go, aren’t you hungry?”

“Can you really get it for me?!” Wang Qian looked around like a thief, afraid someone might overhear, as they walked she said, “Conan is so hot right now, the physical copies get snatched up as soon as they hit the stores, can you really get it?”

Nonsense, the company is ours!

“Yes, just get in the car!”

The three of them got into the car, and only then did Wang Hao finally catch his breath – now he truly understood how terrifying hardcore fans can be!

He started the car and headed straight for the nearest upscale restaurant. Once they finally sat down, Wang Hao wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, “Man, those people are insane, I can’t handle it!”

“Brother Hao,” Wang Qian was still concerned, “can you really get me Conan?”

Li Qingqing was also full of anticipation–right now, Conan was like hard currency at their school, if you wanted someone to do something, just say “I have Conan,” and it would absolutely work!

“Do I look like someone who lies?” Wang Hao smiled, “I can definitely get it. By the way, Little Qianqian, you’re a senior this year, right? What’s your major?”

“Illustration design,” Wang Qian’s face was full of longing, “Next semester I’m planning to do an internship, it would be great if I could get into Conan’s company!”

Li Qingqing nodded along, adding, “We plan to go together. But that company is so popular now, it’s Golden Cloud Animation, and loads of people are breaking their necks trying to get in and can’t. Our chances are slim.”

“Well, the chances are slim,” Wang Hao stroked his chin and nodded, “Because there’s literally no need to scramble–it’s my company!”

Wang Qian and Li Qingqing suddenly gaped, “What?!”

…

Zhonghai City, Bin Hai Hotel, the Western restaurant.

At that moment, three people were dining here, two men and one woman. The older man was dressed in a suit, accompanied by a young assistant. Both of their expressions were very polite.

Facing them was a young woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

“President Lin, I’m really begging you, please seriously consider the terms I’ve offered,” the older man said with a smile. “Our publishing house wants to exclusively publish your Conan manga, you must agree!”

This man refereed to President Lin- naturally, she was Lin Xiaoyun, the president of Golden Cloud Animation!

With Conan’s massive popularity, Lin Xiaoyun’s status in the animation industry had skyrocketed, countless publishing houses had approached her hoping to secure the exclusive rights to publish Conan — literally, companies were fighting tooth and nail for it.

“I need to think about it,” Lin Xiaoyun smiled, “Don’t worry, I will take it seriously once I’m back at the company.”

The older man clasped his hands together, “Thank you, President Lin!”
