Chapter 1037: Methods
"World of Warcraft."
After get off work, Xu Jing received a call from Meng Huo, and his voice was full of suspicion: "Are you sure it's worth doing this?"
"It's worth it. Now it's time to start, and you can test it at the end of next year!"
Meng Huo told Xu Jing about the progress of World of Warcraft. Xu Jing thought about it and said, "If you think you can, go and do it. I have no objection. Your direction has never been wrong. I believe you - just as soon as you returned to the company, can your body bear it?"
"This is no problem." Meng Huo laughed. As long as Xu Jing agrees, there will be no surprises in the two things of "World of Warcraft" project establishment and the game department - although he will be more busy in the short term, in the long run, he will not have to launch a text adventure game for more than a year in the future.
In the evening, Meng Huo found several editors and discussed with them about the recovery of serial comics - and it was already ten o'clock when the matter ended. Meng Huo still took the time to come to the studio. Qin Ya and the others had cleaned the studio and were painting inside.
"Are you painting the new ending of "The Legend of the Galaxy Song"?" Meng Huo asked as they looked at their work.
"Of course, I will finish it in these few weeks!" Qin Ya, the leader, nodded and then smiled: "Teacher, you don't keep your word. During the day, you even want to draw today! As a result, you go to work again at night!"
She and several assistants spent a long time cleaning the studio during the day, but Meng Huo had to talk to the editors at night because he had been in the game department for too long - as a result, he violated his agreement with Qin Ya.
"It's OK now, draw until twelve o'clock today!"
Meng Huo took off his coat and said, "It took too long for him to draw, and the enthusiasm in his body seemed to surge again."
"Do you have to go to work tomorrow?" Qin Ya asked.
"I want it, you don't want it. The painters in the island studio have not come back yet, Qin Ya, you can sleep in." Meng Huo laughed: "So it's okay to stay up late these days, right?"
Of course, Qin Ya is fine. She has only painted a book called "The Legend of the Galaxy Song" for more than half a year. With the help of several assistants, she is not busy with work every day. Especially last month, she basically slept in and spent the rest of her life - now she and her assistants have plenty of energy.
The group of people painted until twelve o'clock, and Meng Huo also found the feeling of working again.
After painting, everyone was hungry, Meng Huo invited them to have a midnight snack. By the way, he said to Qin Ya: "After the painters come back, please help me clean up the island studio. I'm worried that I don't have time."
Qin Ya nodded, not doubting what Meng Huo said, "no time", especially the situation in the next few days. She once again knew what busyness meant - almost from six in the morning to twelve in the evening, Meng Huo did not have a moment of her own time.
The artists from the Island Studio returned 6. After a major cleaning, the studio started working again, but it was too long since there was no work and the staff was not there. Meng Huo gave everyone a few days to recover, saying that it would announce a new animation next week.
Qin Ya held a studio start-up banquet for him, which made the painters who had been separated for a long time feel like home again, but Meng Huo had no time to attend.
Whenever he sees him these days, he always has a few assistants and secretary around him who look hurried. Even if Meng Huo is talking about work on the road, Qin Ya will inevitably make way when she sees it. She knows that Teacher He Xi cannot be disturbed now.
In addition to work, Meng Huo also left his writers with the rest of his time. For the information on World of Warcraft, he transferred three writers and arranged them to his office. Whenever he had time, he would talk to them about the game and prepare the game every minute.
There are many business matters in Manga Island, Su Hua and Yanjing, but the exhibition in Tokyo went smoothly. Meng Huo checked the information and didn't care. The situation there has been relatively stable. The Takashima couple can be said to be his right-hand man in Tokyo.
Finally, a week later, when people thought that He Xue would bring news about new animations or new comics when he came back, he had been silent for a long time but suddenly held a press conference and announced an unimaginable thing.
Phoenix's game department will change from a head office to a separate subsidiary. At the same time, Phoenix will invest 100 million to open a large online game "World of Warcraft" - this is just an early investment.
At the entire press conference, Meng Huo announced the name and type of game of "World of Warcraft". Apart from this, there was no picture or video of the game, no introduction or trial play. There was only one information that the reporters present could learn: this game was planned by He Xi himself.
The game's world view, various settings, and the main plot are all written by He Xizhi, and he has been preparing for the game department for more than two years - this news alone has triggered the entire Chinese comics and game circle.
"Online games, Teacher He Xi actually made online games!"
"Damn it, I knew he was a wolf for a long time and would not be willing to just play text adventure games!"
"Stop him, you must not let World of Warcraft come out!"
"I'm worried that online games are not text adventure games, so I don't believe he can do it well!"
Overnight, the news spread all over the country, with some people excited, some angry, some fearful, and of course some people disdainful - but this news did shock the hearts of many designers in the game industry.
Phoenix's game department will expand its recruitment. Although it could not be said to be a professional game company in the past, text adventure games have long proved their strength. Coupled with He Xi's "omnipotent" image, many designers have come up with the idea of changing jobs.
He Qian had already expected this kind of mentality to appear. On the night after the press conference, she sent hundreds of invitation letters, blatantly poaching employees in the top game companies in China.
What effect will her action have? It’s too early to say that it’s the most exciting thing after the press conference was the reporters. Many reporters wanted to find Meng Huo, but Meng Huo was no longer in the company that night, but secretly came to the Meng family - he hadn’t seen it yet after he came back!
It was ten o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the Meng family. The old lady was ready to go to bed. Because of his arrival, she waited for half an hour. She chatted with him for a few words before going back to the room to rest with Li Qin.
After they left, there were only four people left in the room, except for Alice and Shen Jie, and there was also Alice's mother. Shen Jie stood up and said in Meng Huo's ear, "Come here tonight," and gave time to Alice and her daughter.
"Aunt..." Meng Huo looked at Mrs. Jin, who smiled and shook his head: "Don't call me aunt anymore. You make Alice's belly bigger. If you want, just call me mother-in-law."
Meng Huo was stunned and called out a little nervously. The woman giggled. He had ever seen the cartoonist He Xi nervously. This time she saw her. The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law and became more and more pleasing to her. The woman had a good impression of Meng Huo, so she called her mother-in-law. The only knot in her heart disappeared.
After she finished laughing, she stood up: "I won't bother you anymore, you can talk, but Alice is like this now, you can't play too much."
The woman hinted and left. Meng Huo knew what she meant. She hadn't seen her for more than a week. Alice's belly seemed to be getting bigger again. Of course, he would not do some activity that might hurt her - but Alice seemed a little regretful.
Meng Huo told Alice about the company. Alice nodded while listening and also gave Meng Huo a lot of advice. These turned out to be her job, so she was naturally more familiar with Meng Huo. At the same time, several assistants were good at what they were good at. She also told Meng Huo that this could help Meng Huo avoid many detours.
The two of them talked about work and they talked for two hours before Meng Huo sent Alice back to her room.
"Why do I call Chen Jie over and sleep here tonight?" Meng Huo asked Alice, he found that the G shop was big enough.
"No, didn't Chen Jie ask you to go to her place? Just go!" Alice immediately refused. Chen Jie endured for a long time, and she would definitely not let Meng Huo go tonight - Alice didn't want to see the scene of these two fighting in front of her.
In fact, every time she saw them get together, she would always get involved, but it is indeed not very convenient now.
"Okay, I'll go to her place." Meng Huo said goodbye to Alice. He had always been worried about whether Alice could stay in this yard. Now it seems that she is in good spirits and there should be no problem.
But Chen Jie is different. She is not pregnant like Alice, and Meng Huo is not around, so she is a little tired of it.
"When will I go back to work?" After pulling Meng Huo to a big mess, it was already early in the morning. Chen Jie was still sleeping while lying beside him, and pointed at his arm with her fingers: "When will your new animation come out?"
"It's almost done, wait another week!" Meng Huo said with his hands on his head. The artists at the Island Studio are almost back. When he prepares the materials, a new animation will be announced soon.
"That's good, don't forget, you promised to give me a great character!" Chen Jie stood up, bent down and kissed Meng Huo, and whispered: "Meng Huo, it's not dawn yet, do you still have combat power?"
Meng Huo was teased instantly: "You dead fairy!"
He turned over with Shen Jie's laughter and taught her a lesson - but after this time, it was already dawn, Meng Huoqiu put on his clothes, he had to go back to work as soon as possible, and he couldn't eat breakfast here.
"I'm leaving." Meng Huo kissed Shen Jie on the head before leaving, and then suddenly there was something that didn't tell Chen Jie: "By the way, I forgot to tell you... After you come back to work, you will be arranged to Ninghai to help Mr. Xu, and he has agreed."
Chen Jie was stunned: "I'm promoted?"
"So that's it." Meng Huo laughed. Chen Jie's new job is equivalent to Xu Jing's secretary. This is the job Alice has done before, and it is actually training: "When Alice is away, you happen to be practicing in the company."
Chen Jie nodded. In fact, she would rather go to Meng Huo to help, but she also knew it was impossible - it was already a very lucky thing to help Xu Jing.
And Xu Jing promised to ask her to help, which made Chen Jie feel very moved. She looked at Meng Huo on G and was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Meng Huo, I really envy Alice."
Meng Huo paused and looked back: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Nothing...but, her parents are really enlightened..."
Chen Jie said that after spending some time with Alice's mother in the Meng family, she envied Alice especially - because Alice's mother accepted the affairs of Chen Jie and Meng Huo, and the golden woman was also very kind to her.
Today, when Chen Jie was even more envious when she heard Meng Huo talk about Xu Jing, she was obviously not disliked Chen Jie because Meng Huo was walking on two boats.
This seemed too incredible to Shen Jie's eyes. Her parents would never accept such things. They were too traditional. If they knew about Alice, they would have to hate Alice and Meng Huo to death. Even Chen Jie might be scolded.
So although Chen Jie has gotten along with Meng Huo now, she has not actually told her parents about her and Meng Huo, and her previous trip was just perfunctory and said nothing was gone.
She didn't know how to say it, or was afraid that after she said it, her parents would slowly notice Alice's affairs, thus revealing the truth.
"Menghuo, what should I do now?" Chen Jie asked distressedly: "I don't want to lie to them, but I will not have any good results if I explain to them..."
"Then... don't say anything, just let me say it..." Meng Huo said. This is his responsibility. If Chen Jie is not good at telling her parents, then he will explain it.
But Chen Jie didn't think so. This was not something Meng Huo could bear alone. It was a matter between them or three people. No matter who said it, her parents would have the same reaction.
Chen Jie's parents would never allow their daughter to share Meng Huo with other women, as this behavior does not conform to their worldview.
"Forget it, there is no way to solve it now." Chen Jie was upset for a while, and she also figured it out, and sighed: "It's better to wait for a while, and you will always find a solution."
Meng Huo was silent. He went back and hugged Chen Jie again. He had no idea about this matter for the time being. He didn't want to hurt Chen Jie's relationship with her parents, but now there is indeed no good way. He can only hide it temporarily and find a way later.
"When Alice gives birth to the child, we can discuss it with her. I think she has a solution."
Meng Huo said that he vaguely felt that Alice could solve this problem, but this was an intuition and he was not sure of it himself.
Alice has been giving birth to a baby for more than half a year, and this may have to be delayed for a longer time. Of course, it cannot be delayed forever, but the three of them have done the more difficult things. What does the two old people have calculated? (To be continued.)
