The future big boss of comics was in a rather bleak situation.
Ma Rongcheng's face was filled with sadness as he watched his determined girlfriend's figure gradually fade away.
"Ah May, don't leave me. How can I live without you?”
Ma Rongcheng's heart-wrenching appearance was simply to the point where anyone who heard it would be sad and anyone who saw it would cry.
However, when Xu Tianyao heard these familiar lines, he couldn't help but think of a very comical crosstalk actor in the future, crying and shouting while chasing a taxi.
Therefore, he laughed immorally, instantly making the atmosphere awkward.
"What are you laughing at? Have you never been heartbroken?”
Ma Rongcheng's expression suddenly turned from sadness to anger.
Xu Tianyao actually wanted to say that he had never been heartbroken before, but seeing that he was already in such a miserable state, it was better not to agitate him anymore.
One must be kind!
"Sorry, give him a glass of wine and put it on my tab.”
Xu Tianyao made a gesture to the bartender at the bar counter and then smiled at Ma Rongcheng.
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Ma Rongcheng because Ah Bao had already walked over.
"Brother Yao, are you looking for me?"
Ah Bao ran over with a smug look on his face. His already distinctive face became even uglier.
The incident at Yufeng Restaurant last night had spread throughout the entire Yaumatei City. Xu Tianyao's name had become very popular overnight.
When one person attained the Dao, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. Even Ah Bao and the others became famous in Youma Tei.
Those underlings who lived on the streets and had no backers were like cats that smelled blood. They came over one after another.
When Xu Tianyao called him, he was happily recruiting underlings.
"You're in a good mood. How did you do the thing I asked you to do yesterday?”
Xu Tianyao smiled and patted the chair beside him, indicating for him to sit over and talk.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yao. After you gave the order yesterday, I asked someone to investigate, but other than knowing the surname of the nightclub owner, I couldn't find any useful information.”
When Ah Bao heard Xu Tianyao ask about yesterday's matter, he immediately stood up from his chair and did not dare to sit down.
He seemed to be very remorseful for not doing what Xu Tianyao had instructed him to do.
"It's okay. If you can't find anything, then slowly investigate. Don't be afraid that I'll blame you.”
Xu Tianyao smiled and did not want to make things difficult for Ah Bao. However, this also proved that his thoughts were correct. The background of Boss He of the nightclub was very mysterious.
"Alright, go do your work."
After sending Ah Bao away, Xu Tianyao was surprised to find that Ma Rongcheng did not leave and was sitting beside him.
Ma Rongcheng looked at Xu Tianyao awkwardly. He was not a fool. From the attitude of the bartender and Ah Bao towards Xu Tianyao, he could tell that this person was definitely powerful.
He was still a little scared of his rudeness just now. If Xu Tianyao wanted to find trouble with him, he would not be able to take it.
He was just a small employee of a comic publishing house now. He could not afford to offend someone like Xu Tianyao.
"Come over for a chat?"
"It's not a big deal to be heartbroken.”
Of course, Xu Tianyao wouldn't mind, so he smiled at Ma Rongcheng in a friendly manner.
"You're right. It's not a big deal to be heartbroken, but I just can't accept it…"
It seemed that Ma Rongcheng was really hurt. After drinking a glass of wine, he did not care if he was familiar with Xu Tianyao beside him. He immediately told him about his matter like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
The story was very cliché. It was nothing more than a frustrated young man who had no money, causing his girlfriend to run away with a rich man.
However, from his confession, Xu Tianyao also knew that Ma Rongcheng was currently working in a comic publishing house and was a contracted author.
In the 1980s, Hong Kong's comics industry was already very prosperous. However, most of them were related to sex, but the market already had a lot of potential.
Ma Rongcheng was an idealistic mangaka. He was not willing to create those vulgar things for the sake of the market.
If one wanted to stick to their ideals, they had to pay a certain price. Ma Rongcheng's price was poverty, which caused his girlfriend to run away with someone else.
After Xu Tianyao heard this, he fell into deep thought.
Before today, he had been thinking that if he wanted to formalize his power, he would definitely have to have a certain career to support him. However, he had not thought clearly about which industry he would enter.
However, Ma Rongcheng's appearance gave him some inspiration.
The golden age of the comics industry in Hong Kong was the emergence of Huang Yulang in the 1980s. After he unified the comics publishing industry, he developed an industrial production line, which led to the development of the comics market.
Huang Yulang's company only took a few years to get listed from the unification of Hong Kong. One could imagine how huge the profits were.
Xu Tianyao didn't hear the name of Yulang Organization from Ma Rongcheng's mouth. Compared to Huang Yulang, he hadn't unified the comics world yet.
Enter the comics industry?
It seemed like a good choice!
