Chapter 1073: Zhao Mei
Early that morning, Chen Jie walked into the Phoenix Building with great energy and prepared for the day's work.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?"
She was about to enter Xu Jing's office, but she found that the secretary sitting outside Xu Jing's office was nervous. Chen Jie was puzzled. This was the first time she saw him like this, could it be...
"Are you angry about something whenever Xu?" Chen Jie asked nervously.
"No..." the secretary shook his head, then pointed to the office door, and said, "You go in, you understand everything when you go in."
Chen Jie walked to the door in confusion and reached out and knocked on the door gently.
"Please come in."
A familiar voice came from it, but not Xu Jing's voice.
Chen Jie was shocked and looked back at the secretary. The secretary seemed to know what she was wondering. He nodded at her. Chen Jie was delighted on her face and immediately opened the door and walked in.
When she entered the door, she found that as expected, Meng Huo sat on the sofa and looked at the documents. He was the only one in the office.
"Menghuo, why are you here?" Seeing that Xu Jing was not here, Chen Jie no longer felt restrained. She first turned around and closed the door, then sat down next to Menghuo, looking at the things he was looking at: "Aren't these documents handed over to Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, Alice is back." Meng Huo looked at Chen Jie and smiled: "I asked her father to accompany her at home, so I will do my job."
"So, Mr. Xu is not here to work today?" Chen Jie looked happy.
"It's not just today." Meng Huo temporarily stopped his work and asked, "Do you want tea? I'll make it for you."
"No need, I'll do it!" Chen Jie quickly got up and walked towards the tea cabinet. She worked here for a while and was used to making tea.
"You just said it wasn't today, so would tomorrow be?"
"Yes, Alice is going home for two days..."
Meng Huo continued to read the documents while answering Chen Jie's question.
Chen Jie was in a happy mood and when she walked over to Meng Huo, she asked, "Since you are working on behalf of Mr. Xu, why not sit there?"
She was talking about Xu Jing’s desk, and Meng Huo sat on the sofa for reception of guests.
"There is a lot of gossip in that position." Meng Huo shrugged. He was not the president. Xu Jing could not sit in the position, so it would be a little over when he sat down. If other people saw bad rumors spread from suspicion, wouldn't it be a disaster for Wuwang?
So Meng Huo chose to deal with this detail carefully. In fact, he was not willing to work in this office at the beginning. Xu Jing said that this office is more convenient.
"If the company has something to do, it will run to my office. If you are there, you won't let them run around." He said this, Meng Huo thought so, so he sat down in this office.
After listening to the causes and consequences, Chen Jie couldn't help laughing: "You are sitting here, Brother Liu outside is so nervous."
Now she knew why the secretary outside was so nervous. Today, he changed to a boss he didn't know very well. If he made any mistakes in front of Meng Huo, Meng Huo would just tell Xu Jing that the secretary would be in trouble.
Although the secretary is Xu Jing's old secretary, He Xi has an extraordinary status in Phoenix Company and is also the major shareholder behind the scenes. Except for Xu Jing and Alice, no one else dares to offend him at all.
All morning, Chen Jie watched the ministers report things with Meng Huo very carefully, and no one was nervous except her.
Chen Jie was not nervous at all. Meng Huo made her extremely happy here. The reason why she entered the workplace was to help Meng Huo at work, and today she got what she wanted.
Although Meng Huo is capable, he is not familiar with Ninghai's business after all. Most of the time Chen Jie is explaining it to him. For the first time, she felt that what she learned during this period was so useful.
"Chen Jie, thanks to you. It seems that you don't have to work overtime today." In the afternoon, as I got off work, Meng Huo suddenly praised Chen Jie. He originally thought that today's work would be delayed until very late because of his unskillingness, but he didn't expect that he could finish it before getting off work.
Chen Jie not only told him the situation, but also gave him a lot of advice. Meng Huo spent a day roughly grasping Chen Jie's work. Her learning speed was not much different from what he expected. Perhaps when Alice came back, she would be able to stand alone.
"Please accompany me to the restaurant for dinner after get off work." After work, Chen Jie said to Meng Huo that she basically ate in the company's restaurant when she went to work. Today, Meng Huo and her are 'work partners', and it's nothing to be discovered.
"Okay." Meng Huo nodded. He considered that he might not go home for dinner when he worked overtime in the morning, so he told Li Qin not to prepare his dinner. Naturally, he would not refuse Chen Jie's invitation now.
The two walked towards the restaurant together. Although they were seen on the way, Chen Jie was not afraid at all.
"This feels so good..." She said this, and a burst of apologies flashed through Meng Huo's heart. If the person Chen Jie liked was not her, she might not have to be so sneaky now.
When the restaurant is off work, the restaurant is full of people. Although the main departments of the company do not have night shifts, the restaurant conditions here are already the same as those of Manga Island. The food is delicious and cheap. More than 70% of the employees will have dinner in the restaurant after get off work.
Chen Jie and Meng Huo did not specifically look for hidden places. They found a dining table to sit down, and the other employees did not come up to disturb them.
There are many LCD TVs hanging everywhere in the restaurant, from different TV stations. When Meng Huo and Shen Jie arrived, the main animation broadcast time had passed. The two of them had not planned to watch TV, but a nearby TV screen still attracted Chen Jie's attention.
"Master of illustration?" She saw a line of red titles on the TV screen and her eyes lit up: "It turns out that today is her interview day. Meng Huo, look, this illustrator is very famous!"
The TV was behind Meng Huo. Meng Huo looked back and found that it was an interview program on Ninghai TV. The one who appeared on the show was a beautiful girl who looked familiar.
"That's the gold medal illustrator of Longteng Company now. She specializes in drawing illustrations for novels. Some people say that the paintings she draws can be compared with you. Although I don't agree with this, her paintings are indeed very beautiful."
Chen Jie said, Meng Huo frowned, and then suddenly remembered: "That girl, I've seen her."
"Have you actually seen it?" Chen Jie was surprised, then thought for a while, and then said relieved: "It's not surprising that you have seen it. After all, she is one of the few people who ignore you."
"Me?" Meng Huo was curious: "What's going on?"
"Ah, don't you know?" Chen Jie was puzzled. What's going on? Meng Huo had met this girl. How could he not know about her: "She almost became your assistant!"
Meng Huo was even more curious and continued to ask questions. Then she learned that the illustrator was strongly invited by the editorial department of Phoenix Company to serve as Meng Huo's assistant, but she refused.
"In fact, she was the first person to be selected. The editors heard that she was interested in being a cartoonist. They invited her immediately, but unfortunately..." Chen Jie said: "Editor Ye said that if she transformed into a cartoonist, she would be even more terrifying than Princess Qin Ya."
Meng Huo was stunned: "It's scarier than Qin Ya?"
"You must have never seen her paintings." Chen Jie looked at Meng Huo's expression and understood that he actually knew nothing about the girl: "She is really amazing, and she is not inferior to Qin Ya at all."
Meng Huo was silent, and it was difficult for him to believe Chen Jie's words.
"How did you know about her?" he asked.
"I knew it when I came to Ninghai. She is very famous here." Chen Jie replied. In fact, she also heard from the editorial department that the editors did not tell Meng Huo this person.
In the past two years, taking the release of the illustration novels of "Lannad" as an opportunity, Longteng Company has released a large number of illustration novels and hired many cartoonists and painters to help. Popular novels and illustrations complement each other, making many famous illustrators popular.
This girl is the most famous one. Her original profession was not a cartoonist or a painter, but an ordinary college student. In just one year, she quickly rose by relying on her overwhelming painting skills. She was called the king of novels and illustrations, and was also popular with Longteng Company to become famous.
She is actually the first person to choose a new assistant for Meng Huo when the editorial department selected Meng Huo. She is an illustrator. The editorial department once hoped to use He Xi's assistant position to attract her to join Phoenix Company, but she did not do so.
The reason is strange
"She seems to hate our company very much." Chen Jie said. The editorial department of Phoenix Company spent a lot of effort to convince and invite the girl. The reason she got in the end was that she hated Phoenix Company.
"Is this what she said?"
Meng Huo took a sip of water.
"Well." Chen Jie nodded: "It is said that she has always wanted to be a cartoonist, and she also wants to draw illustrations to gather popularity first. So apart from hating our company, she has no reason to refuse our invitation."
Chen Jie felt that this girl was a pity. She might be very smart and knew that it was difficult to debut as a cartoonist, so she first became an illustrator to play to her painting skills. After becoming famous, she had sufficient ambitions to be a cartoonist. Unfortunately, she didn't want to join Phoenix Company for some reason.
"She is studying in Suhua, right?" Meng Huo asked.
Chen Jie nodded: "It seems."
Meng Huo understood that he had completely confirmed the identity of this person. The girl had changed a lot now. When she first met her, she was still a young college student, as if she was here to help Phoenix Company pack and express delivery.
Nowadays, the girl is not only of her age, but also of her clothes and dressing. Meng Huo was not very sure just now. He just met this girl, and there was no dialogue between the two, but he had heard a word from her.
That happened three years ago. At that time, the girl looked at his painting and said that she could draw similar paintings in the future.
Because this sentence was too prominent, Meng Huo, who was passing by, looked back curiously, but he didn't care much about the girl at that time, nor did he contact her. If it weren't for his unforgettable memories, he wouldn't have any memories.
"I didn't expect..."
Thinking of the meeting, Meng Huo secretly praised him. He didn't expect that he would miss the eyes. Behind the girl's "rude words" she said, there was such a high talent to support Chen Jie rarely praised other women. It was obviously really good that she praised the other person's paintings.
"I remember..." Meng Huo looked in his memory. He remembered the girl's companions called her: "Her name is Zhao Mei, right?"
This is the last question. If Chen Jie nodded, it means he has not recognized the wrong person.
"Yes, her name is Zhao Mei."
The moment Chen Jie nodded, a light flashed in Meng Huo's eyes. He was very surprised. It was so surprising. The world was always full of surprises, and these surprises always appeared when he didn't know.
Although I don’t know why Zhao Mei hated Phoenix Company, Meng Huo didn’t care about this. The time for this girl to appear was so wonderful. Her dislike of Phoenix Company. If her product is real and her painting skills are excellent, it can become Meng Huo’s best tool.
Meng Huo had a small plan in his mind. He looked at the girl on TV with his eyes subtle.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Jiemin felt sensitively that Meng Huo looked at the girl differently than that of an ordinary girl. She frowned: "You... you won't like that girl, are you? She is quite cute, don't say that this is the type you like."
"Where do you want to go?" Meng Huo retracted his gaze and said, "I just think her painting skills are very valuable."
Meng Huo frowned slightly and asked, "Chen Jie, I suddenly want to do something bad. Will you agree?"
"Bad things?" Chen Jie was startled, looked around, and then whispered: "You have to do it back and do it, it's not convenient here."
"..." Meng Huo was silent.
"What I'm talking about is not such a bad thing, it's other bad things. I want to use this Zhao Mei to help me do something. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Hmm? That's it... I don't think it's a big deal." Chen Jie seemed a little disappointed. She said while eating: "Don't I understand you yet? You must have some reason to use someone else's... And you are soft-hearted and will definitely not hurt her, so it's appropriate."
She knew that Meng Huo was kind by nature and would not do excessive things, so she didn't ask what Meng Huo planned to do.
Meng Huo smiled: "Thank you."
His hesitation disappeared, and he said that although he was using Zhao Mei, Zhao Mei would not suffer any losses, Meng Huo had no other choice. It was difficult to find a more suitable candidate than Zhao Mei. She was like a gift from the sky, and he should seize the opportunity.
"But her paintings are really better than Qin Ya?" Meng Huo had doubts about this. He had to look for a novel with illustrations first. If Zhao Mei was really so powerful, he would have to find a way to use her.
In order to better understand Zhao Mei's situation, Meng Huo decided to go home early. He rejected Chen Jie's invitation to watch a movie together in the evening, which made Chen Jie unhappy. (~^~)
