July was a festive month.
The physical edition of the comic, after half a year of sales, finally managed to sell 15,000 of the initially printed 20,000 copies. The publishing house had already started the serialization of the second issue and the reprinting of the first issue. With the second issue stirring up some buzz, it would hopefully boost the sales of the first issue.
Qin Guanglin received eighty thousand, from which he gave ten percent to Xiao Yu. He rounded up the amount and called him out to meet, then threw the cash at him.
"That was the deal we made initially."
"Holy shit, this feels weird," Xiao Yu didn't accept it and threw it back. "You did the drawings, why share it with me?"
"Just take it, I'd feel embarrassed to keep drawing if you didn't. Now you're the second main character."
The stack of cash wasn't thick, only ten thousand, and it got tossed back and forth between the two men until Xiao Yu couldn't outstubborn Qin Guanglin and stuffed it into his bag.
