Chapter Eighteen: Alice

Alice, 25 years old, has a ancestor from Europe, but she is a native Chinese. She graduated from Yenching University at the age of 20. She used to be a celebrity agent and now she switched to career as a comic editor.

This is the information she told Meng Huo, and by the way, she said that she was already married.

"Why did you change from an agent to an editor?"

Sitting in the car, Meng Huo said it was strange.

"I like reading comics and I wanted to be a comic editor for a long time." Alice sat next to Meng Huo and smiled: "Although I may not be able to tell you how to draw like an experienced editor, I can help you in other aspects."

Ye Xiong, who was sitting in front, heard this sentence.

"Menghuo, I observed your comic style and found that it would be better for you to play freely." He said: "Ordinary editors will restrict your ideas, and I will also check the content. Alice has been an agent before, and she is more suitable for helping you than other editors."

This is what he said in his heart, but in fact, the person who chose Alice was not Ye Xiong, but their chairman. Ye Xiong was not very clear about why the chairman chose a celebrity agent, and he was an exclusive editor of Meng Huo, but he suspected that the company's upper-level company wanted to train Meng Huo to become an idol cartoonist.

The car parked in front of a building.

"Your house is in this building. We paid three months of rent, a total of 9,000 Chinese coins, and deducted from Meng Huo's royalties next month." Ye Xiong handed the key to Meng Huo and said with a smile: "Sun Yang and I are going to work. Alice knows the room number and she will help you."

"OK."

Meng Huo took the keys and moved them out of the trunk with Alice. Li Qin was motion sick, so she stood beside her and rested.

There were four large boxes in total for the salute, and it was a bit difficult for two people to move, but this was the least salute. Ninghai was too far from Qingcheng, so Li Qin left most of her belongings at her parents' home in the countryside before leaving.

After taking the elevator to the twelfth floor, Meng Huo opened the door according to Alice's instructions.

This is a three-bedroom and two-living room house. The walls are a little discolored, but the floor is very clean and simple furniture is left behind. The monthly rent of 3,000 yuan is already quite cost-effective in Ninghai City. I believe Ye Xiong spent a lot of energy.

Li Qin and Meng Huo are both satisfied with this new home.

Three people cleaned the room, Alice was not dirty or tired, and even prepared lunch for Li Qin. Li Qin was not used to being around her like a foreigner, but at noon she became sisters.

"Sister, if you don't go back at noon, will your husband be angry?"

"No, it's hard to go home and rest at noon now, he's the same."

"Where is the child?"

"Not yet. When you have a child, ask your parents to take care of you..."

Meng Huo looked at the two women chatting in the kitchen. He couldn't get into his mouth. Thinking about the hygiene, he had finished it, so he walked to the bathroom to take a cold shower and put on an old short-sleeved top.

Alice kept staring at him during lunch.

"Sister Qin, look at Meng Huo's clothes are torn."

She and Meng Huo are also familiar with each other, and they will not be suspected when they are outside.

However, when Li Qin looked at Meng Huo, she felt that he could not be so shabby. She could be embarrassed, but the child could not be embarrassed. Meng Huo's outfit was incompatible with Ninghai City, and she would be laughed at when she went out!

"Xiao Huo, go buy clothes in the afternoon."

Li Qin put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Meng Huo frowned and looked at Alice. The beautiful blonde smiled slightly, glanced at Li Qin, Meng Huo was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Okay, mom."

Alice wanted the two to buy some clothes. The new editor was very smart. She saw that Li Qin was not the one who liked to think about herself, so she used Meng Huo as an excuse.

However, Meng Huo and Li Qin both had street stalls worth more than ten yuan, so they should have changed them long ago.

After lunch, the three left the building to take the subway. As soon as they got on the subway, Meng Huo saw a familiar advertisement.

"A full of youth, recommended by millions of readers, an original comic that cannot be missed - "Detective Conan" single-line book is about to be released!"

The poster of the subway car is printed with an advertisement for "Detective Conan", and the picture is the poster image provided by Meng Huo before.

"Every time I look at this picture, I feel so beautiful and want to take it home to collect it."

"Yes, shopping malls, buses, streets, you can see it everywhere now!"

"I heard that this picture was drawn by He Xi himself. I was really curious about what he looked like. Unfortunately, he disappeared after sending a message from the Holy War..."

There were two female high school girls chatting on the subway. Meng Huo was surprised by the information revealed in the words. This poster can be seen everywhere? Phoenix Company is really helpless in promoting it!

Li Qin next to her also found the poster. She quickly covered her mouth so that she would not exclaim, and looked at An Jing's son standing beside her in shock.

When did Meng Huo draw this picture? And when did he become so eye-catching! Li Qin was almost intimidated when she watched TV last time. When she saw this poster again, her heart was about to jump out.

She had clearly recognized Meng Huo's talent, but in just a blink of an eye, just when Li Qin was not paying attention, Meng Huo's comics were on TV and posters filled the second largest city in China.

How many surprises does this child have to give her before he will give up! Li Qin was in a daze, and she suddenly became a little nervous about Meng Huo's future. He was so powerful at a young age. What would he become when he grew up? Will he go somewhere?

It suddenly disappeared like his father...

"Mother!"

With her hands tightened Li Qin's clothes, she woke up from her trance and turned to see Meng Huo's worried face: "Mom, why are you in a daze? You're almost at the station. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

“…It’s okay, it’s just a little motion sickness.”

Li Qin was relieved. Her random thoughts were ridiculous. Meng Huo was the son she had grown up with. He became powerful and should be proud of being a mother! She wanted to support Meng Huo and let him do what she wanted to do.

"Sister Qin, please buy some motion sickness medicine later?"

Alice also showed her concern, but Li Qin quickly refused. She didn't actually feel dizzy in the subway and there was no need to take medicine.

Then, Meng Huo bought a few new sets of clothes in the mall, and then pulled Li Qin to buy a few sets, which cost a total of 2,000 yuan. Li Qin complained that it was too expensive, but she still accepted it under Alice's persuasion.

"Sister Qin, Meng Huo's father... does he look very good?"

After buying clothes, Alice suddenly asked when Meng Huo went to the bathroom.

"How do you know?" Li Qin was surprised and shook her head and said, "But this child looks like me and has not inherited his father."

"This is not necessarily true!" Alice turned her head and looked at the bathroom, and smiled and said, "Sister Qin, Meng Huo is still young."
