Chapter 1109: Stupid(1/2)
The tickets for Carnival were not sold at one time, but were released in several weeks with the updates of four comic magazines from Phoenix. However, in a few weeks, the tickets for each magazine were basically sold out on the same day.
Alice judged from her enthusiasm for purchasing tickets that the number of people at this year's Carnival will increase by two levels compared to last year's data.
This was not only affected by the trial of World of Warcraft game, but also other projects such as the opening of the new playground has also attracted a lot of people.
This year's carnival is not only a festival for comic fans, but also a huge entertainment park, with the number of tourists based on family units also increasing a lot.
The huge number of tourists determined in advance also forced Alice to say hello to the government in advance. At the same time, like in previous years, Comic Island began to recruit part-time college students in the university town two months in advance.
In fact, the carnival every year has become the first choice for students in Suhua University Town. Manga Island has a beautiful environment, high salary, strong social practice, and close enough to have no better choice for summer jobs than this.
On the other hand, the comic island this summer is destined to attract the attention of the entire China, and the shops and merchants around the island will also benefit. The Suhua Municipal Government intends to make it more grand.
When Alice was in contact with the government, the Suhua Municipal Government took the initiative to take over some publicity work, and at the same time shared some of the fan activities to several other guild halls in the city to test their effects.
If the event can be successfully held at other guild halls in Suhua City this year, it will not only reduce the pressure on comic island, but also help the next promotion of the carnival.
And for this matter, Alice, who had already gradually become relaxed, had to take on many troublesome tasks again.
"The Island Studio will also have an animation exhibition." On that day, Qin Ya reported to Alice. She wanted to open the Island Studio during the Carnival and allow a small number of tourists to visit, so as to exhibit all the animation achievements produced since the establishment of the Island Studio, and promote the ongoing "The Emblem of the Stars".
"No need to apply for other venues. If you can strictly control the number of tourists... it's not impossible." Alice checked Qin Ya's plan. The island studio's plan was unexpected, but it was not necessary to apply for a venue. The funds were small, so it was not impossible to agree.
"Just. Qin Ya... do you have time to manage this exhibition?" Alice asked. The exhibition itself is not a problem. The problem is that as a cartoonist who ranks second only to He Xi in Phoenix Company, does Qin Ya have the time and leisure to manage animation exhibitions at that time.
"I have reduced the cartoonist activities I participated in this year, so it should be fine." Qin Ya said. Her popularity and foundation are already very stable. Even if she participates in less activities, it will not affect her.
He Xi participates in the least activities every year, but he is still the most popular one because his popularity foundation is very solid and does not require frequent exposure.
"Since that's the case..." Alice picked up the official seal and stamped Qin Ya's plan: "I agree."
Qin Ya took the plan and looked at the clock on the wall: "It's almost time to get off work, Alice, let's go to have dinner together later? After you come back, I don't seem to be gathering with you yet!"
She and Alice have had a relationship for several years, and the relationship is not bad.
Alice smiled: "I thought, but forget it, there is no time today."
"Do you have to work overtime again?"
"Yes, there are still a bunch of documents that I haven't read today..." Alice nodded: "You go back first, and I'll talk to you next time I have the chance."
Qin Ya nodded: "Then don't work too hard either."
She waved her hand and left, returned to the island studio and informed the news that the plan was approved, and then returned to her apartment.
"Teacher, why did you get off work so early today?" An assistant who was watching TV in the living room asked curiously: "Didn't you say you want to invite Miss Alice back for dinner?"
"She has no time today." Qin Ya put down her bag, poured a glass of water and started drinking.
"By the way... Teacher, when I took the pirates out for a walk today, I seemed to see Teacher He Xi's mother." The assistant just now said again.
"Aunt Qin?" Qin Ya stopped drinking water in surprise: "You can't read it wrong, right?"
The assistant shook his head: "It probably won't be... I remember what Teacher He Xi's mother looks like, and I also see some nearby shops."
That should be true. Qin Ya knows that some shops on Comic Island know Li Qin.
"It's strange, why is Auntie here?" Qin Ya was puzzled. Teacher He Xi had already gone to Tokyo. How could his mother appear on Manga Island?
"Is she alone?" Qin Ya asked.
"No, there are a few people in black." The assistant said: "It's probably a bodyguard, but I haven't seen anyone except the bodyguard."
In fact, the Li Qin she met was indeed Li Qin. Li Qin was out for a walk. When she lived on Manga Island, she couldn't stay in the apartment all the time, and she would occasionally go out for a walk.
Of course, she would not bring her grandson and Lisa with her when she walked out. Whether it was her grandson or Lisa, as long as Li Qin appeared with them, it would definitely cause a stir.
However, Li Qin felt that it was okay for a person to take a walk occasionally. She did not have the popularity of Meng Huo, and even if someone knew her, there would be no rumors.
But she finally underestimated the sensitivity of some people. Qin Ya frowned shortly after listening to her assistant's answer.
"Teacher He Xi is not here, and aunt comes here, it's not because she has anything to do with Alice..."
Li Qin made a mistake. As long as she didn't carry the child out, she would not expose Meng Huo's child. However, she didn't pay attention, and her sudden appearance may also expose Alice's relationship with her.
If Li Qin appeared on Manga Island when Teacher He Xi was away, it was probably to meet someone. But who is worth seeing here?
Alice is definitely the first choice. She and Li Qin have been in love for many years.
"But why did the aunt come here for Alice?"
Qin Ya was full of doubts. Although she did not associate this matter with Meng Huo and Alice's relationship for the time being, she planted the seeds of doubt.
During the last trip to Tokyo, Xia Chuan Shi suddenly asked Alice's doubts that had not been resolved from Qin Ya's heart. Now something that might be related to Alice appeared, and Qin Ya couldn't help but pay special attention.
At the same time, in Tokyo, Meng Huo, who had just gotten off work, heard the doorbell ringing after taking a shower.
"Who?" he asked cautiously, living here, be careful, if someone knows his identity, the apartment will no longer be used.
"Brother, it's me!"
Fortunately, a familiar voice sounded outside the door.
Meng Huo looked at Maoyan, then opened the door, and Xia Chuan Zhen stood outside the door: "Real? Why are you here again?"
He was very curious about how often Nakakawa came here, and he came here once a week in the past few weeks. However, Nakakawa did not return to Tokyo every week. Sometimes she would come to see it when she passed by.
"My father is here. He brought me a lot of food. I want to give some to my brother." Xia Chuan Zhen raised a bag, Meng Huo took it and saw that it was eating again.
"You have brought me a lot of food, so you don't have to be so polite." Meng Huo smiled bitterly and said hello to Ryoko Xia Chuan behind Xia Chuan.
"Teacher He Xi, I'm disturbing you again..."
Ryoko Xia Chuan's face was a little embarrassed. She seemed to think it was not appropriate to disturb her frequently.
"It's okay, come in."
Meng Huo didn't care about Ryoko Xia Chuan's expression. He asked the mother and daughter to come in. However, after Ryoko Xia Chuan came in, Ryoko Xia Chuan did not move.
"Why didn't you come in?"
"I won't go in. My husband is not in good health and is still in the car downstairs. I will take him to the hospital to see... I'll sit here and I'll pick her up tonight."
said Ryoko Nakachi.
Meng Huo was stunned: "Uncle, is he okay?"
"It's okay, I'm old, just pick up some medicine." Xia Chuan Ryoko replied. In fact, her husband is not sick at all, but her daughter wants to sit with Meng Huo, so she doesn't act as a light bulb.
Every time Xia Chuan Ryoko comes here with her daughter, she can feel her daughter’s dissatisfaction. Today, when Xia Chuan acts coquettishly with her father, Xia Chuan Ryoko’s husband asks her not to be a light bulb.
"This stupid daughter, I really don't know that I did this for your own good..." Xia Chuan Ryoko sighed in her heart, but there was no strangeness on her face. After saying goodbye to Meng Huo and her daughter, she left with her bodyguards.
"Why did your mother take the bodyguard away?" Meng Huo closed the door and asked, "She is not afraid of something unexpected for you."
Xia Chuan walked into the apartment happily: "I won't be surprised if I have my brother to protect me! And they stand at the door so conspicuously, it would be bad if they were seen."
Meng Huo thought that the few bodyguards standing at the door were indeed very conspicuous.
"Do you want water or milk? I don't have any drinks here, so I've drunk all of them." Meng Huo went to get the cup.
"Just just water." Xia Chuanzhen sat down on the sofa. This scene happened to be seen by Meng Huo, and a stunning flashed in his heart.
Xia Chuan's true sitting down was very elegant. She wore a dress today. In order to prevent her from pressing on her skirt when she sat down, she had to reach out and hold the skirt up first, and then sit down slowly.
This woman's action is full of charm. Meng Huo has seen it in Alice in the past, and today he has also seen it in Xia Chuan Zhen. This makes him suddenly feel as if Xia Chuan Zhen and Alice have suddenly become the same person.
Xia Chuan was really sitting on the sofa with a straight posture. She had black hair as beautiful as a waterfall and the lines on her face were also very beautiful. Meng Huo saw the side face of a mature woman.
This feeling is just like Alice back then, and also made Meng Huo feel that the stranger sitting there was clearly Xia Chuan's real life. How could he think she was very mature?
"..." Shaking his head, Meng Huo poured water and walked over.
"Thank you brother." Xia Chuan took the water and smiled on his face: "Did Sister Chen Jie come last week?"
She already knew about Chen Jie, and no matter how quibbling she was, she could not hide it from her. Meng Huo nodded: "Yes, she finished the drink in the refrigerator."
Xia Chuan giggled: "I didn't expect that Sister Chen Jie has such a greedy side..."
She smiled on her face, but gritted her teeth in her heart. Today, her mother was not here. She must ask completely about Meng Huo and Shen Jie.
"Brother, when did you and Sister Shen Jie start?"
Meng Huo felt that Xia Chuan's real smile was not as gorgeous as usual, but he didn't think much about it: "Two years ago, before I traveled."
He replied that Xia Chuan's true heart aches: "Sure..."
It was indeed at that time, she had guessed it long ago.
Xia Chuan really held the cup tightly, preventing Meng Huo from conscious of his own movement: "Then brother... can you tell me... when will you and your sister get married?"
"Marry?" Meng Huo didn't expect Xia Chuan to ask this question suddenly: "This... she and I have no idea yet. It's a troublesome thing for us to fall in love. It will cause riots if we say it out... Let's talk about it in a few years..."
Meng Huo answered perfunctorily, he could not tell Xia Chuan that they were not planning to get married.
Xia Chuan's hand holding the cup was a little relaxed.
"Zheng, after drinking this glass of water... let's go out for a walk." Meng Huo said, he felt something was wrong and could not continue to sit in the room with Xia Chuanzhen.
If Xia Chuan was asked to continue asking, maybe she would have asked to what extent!
“Where to go?”
“Buy some drinks in the supermarket…”
To be continued...
