Chapter 797: Successor
After returning to Comic Island, Meng Huo had lunch with Alice before returning to the office.
The animation of "Clannad" has been sent here. Meng Huo put the disc into the computer and carefully checked it while he was resting at noon. He watched it three times and the quality of "Clannad" produced by Angel is not bad, but there are still some minor problems.
Meng Huo wrote down these questions one by one, then sorted out the suggestions and sent them to Jiang Tianshi through the email. Jiang Tianshi replied to him in the afternoon, promising to revise the episode's "Clannad", and the animation of "Zhu Line" will also be sent to Meng Huo for review tomorrow.
Meng Huo was completely relieved when he received the reply. The promise the angel gave him was not verbally, they would really follow his advice. Both sides wanted to do a good job in "Clannad", and they had no differences on this point.
The next day, Meng Huo indeed received an animation of another route. He also gave some suggestions to return them to Jiang Tianshi, and Jiang Tianshi happily accepted it.
Meng Huo then returned to his fulfilling work. He mobilized "Clannad" to start animation production of "Qinmei Line" and "Xingshi" in Su Hua's two studios, but he also spent two hours a day participating in the production of "Rebellious Lelouch".
"The Rebellious Lelouch" has the best animation production group of Phoenix Company, and Qin Ya, a capable cartoonist assistant, took over. This animation did not take much time, and Lelouch's dubbing became more and more familiar with him.
Every night during the week, Meng Huo would draw in the studio, in addition to painting "Chess Soul". He would occasionally discuss other comics with some Ning Hai's assistants through the studio's instruments. Although his life was busy, it was smooth.
However, it was less than a week since quietness. A sudden accident happened - Xu Jing from Ninghai suddenly became hospitalized, shocking the entire Phoenix Company.
"What, are you kidding?" On the morning of the hospitalization, Meng Huo heard the secretary's report as soon as he went to work, but as soon as he heard the news, he could not believe it.
"Will he be hospitalized?"
Among all the people Meng Huo knew, Xu Jing was also one of the best in his body.
The president of this Phoenix Company has no bad habits and regular schedules. He goes to exercise every week, likes to drink tea and maintain health, and has always served him - no matter from any direction, he is not a hospitalized person.
"This is not a joke. Mr. Xu is really hospitalized." The secretary said in a panic look on his face, "I heard that he suddenly fainted when he woke up in the morning and was immediately sent to the hospital. Now Ninghai is in chaos!"
His expression didn't seem to be lying. Meng Huo called Xu Jing's secretary half-believingly, but the answer he got was true. However, the secretary also comforted him that it should not be a major event that threatened his life.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Huo called Alice again.
"Well. I already know about this. I'll rush back to see the situation now." Alice's voice was very serious, and she could still hear her packing up: "Menghuo, stay here for the time being. If there is anything, I'll call you over."
Alice didn't want to disturb Meng Huo's work. Meng Huo was a little worried, but he nodded and agreed.
That day Alice hurried back to Ninghai, and Meng Huo was also absent-minded in her work at Su Hua. The news of Xu Jing's illness caused a huge shock. Needless to say, Phoenix Company, there was someone calling Meng Huo to talk about this all morning.
What's more serious is the social news media. Xu Jing was discovered when he was hospitalized. Then a large number of newspapers published this news, which made his condition very serious, as if he was about to die.
Meng Huo saw a newspaper at noon with the title "Xu Jing is critically ill, He Xi is on the rank of the rank of the newspaper. The content of the newspaper pointed out that the Phoenix Company was about to change. Moreover, there were many such rumors. Even Li Qin hurriedly called him to ask about the situation and asked him if he wanted to inherit the Phoenix Company.
"Mom, don't think about it, Ninghai's newspapers are written like this?" Meng Huo asked, and Li Qin received a positive answer. Many newspapers in Ninghai were talking about this matter, and some conspiracy theories have emerged in light of the recent situation.
The most typical conspiracy theory is written around the animation "Clannad". Some people revealed that He Xi cooperated with Zhongxia Company because of a fall in love with Xu Jing. Xu Jing was furious and his physical condition took a sharp turn. Similar statements include He Xi and Zhongxia working together to poison Xu Jing, Phoenix Company's internal struggle, etc.
These rumors quickly caused trouble for Phoenix Company and Meng Huo. The reporters flocked to each other, and there were many doubts. The Internet was in full swing, and the false news also had a bad impact on the comic readers.
Zhongxia Company seemed to be in trouble, and published a statement on its official website in the afternoon and did not know about it. When she returned to Manga Island in the afternoon, Meng Huo also sent someone to do the same thing, temporarily suppressing these rumors.
During this period, Dong Ding called him and said that other animation companies were secretly hyping this matter. It was obvious that the incident of Phoenix and Zhongxia Company cooperating with "Clannad" caused dissatisfaction among other animation companies. When they encountered such a good opportunity, they immediately started to take advantage of it.
However, Meng Huo was not too worried about the rumor. As long as Xu Jing was discharged from the hospital, all the rumors could be resolved without attacking. The question now is - when will Xu Jing be discharged? It was not until Meng Huo finished painting "The Soul of Chess" in the studio and after the day's work, Alice called him to report the situation.
As the secretary reported in the morning, Xu Jing's condition was not serious, but he was old and caught a cool breeze and caused some physical complications. After a day of treatment, Xu Jing had returned to normal.
"But he is old, and this time he happens to be in the hospital for a while, and it is estimated that he will take one week to be discharged from the hospital." Alice finally added.
"It's fine if your body is fine." Meng Huo breathed a sigh of relief: "But why does it get so severe when catching a cold? Hasn't he always cared about his body?"
"This is the root of the disease left before..." Alice explained that Xu Jing paid great attention to his health when he met Meng Huo, but this does not mean that he has always been like this. In fact, Xu Jingqun is a very desperate man. When he was young, he left many roots of the disease because of his hard work. Until his life improved later, he gradually focused on health preservation.
Xu Jing has been in good health in recent years. Perhaps it was because of this that he relaxed his vigilance that he accidentally caused the old illness to recur.
"You will learn from your mistakes. Don't worry. He should pay more attention to himself after this time." Alice smiled and said, "The doctor said that this time the hospitalization is not a bad thing. It is better to cure the internal disease outbreak than to hide it all the time."
Meng Huo nodded: "Then should I find time to see him?"
"This..." Alice hesitated for a moment: "It's okay if you come and have a look. It will take a week for him to be discharged from the hospital. Those media may hype something again. Then you can take the time to do it once, and my dad should be happy too."
Obviously Alice also knows that the media is hyping this with ulterior motives.
Meng Huo then booked the high-speed rail ticket the next afternoon, and it was enough for Su Hua and Ninghai to go back and forth for one afternoon. After he arrived at Ninghai's hospital, Alice did another thing - she invited several reporters to Xu Jing's ward.
When Meng Huo arrived at the ward, the reporters had completed the interview with Xu Jing, and asked Meng Huo some questions, and left with satisfaction.
"You are still thoughtful." Meng Huo praised Alice. When these reporters met Xu Jing, some rumors were self-defeating.
Meng Huo greeted Xu Jing in the ward. The old man looked good. After seeing the gift Meng Huo brought was tea, his eyes lit up: "This is a very good tea, where did you come from?"
"I've been looking for someone to get it. I know you've always wanted to drink this kind of tea." Meng Huo laughed. In order to visit Xu Jing, he went to the Meng family in the morning and indeed got the amazing tea.
"Good guy, you are more capable of finding tea than me." Xu Jing looked at the tea leaves like a baby, wishing he could make a pot on the spot, but he put it down first and looked at Meng Huo with a little serious look: "Meng Huo, I have something I want to talk to you."
Meng Huo was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"
"I was sick this time. Although it was nothing serious, I was still a little worried after all..." Xu Jing turned to look at Alice again and said, "I want to hand over the work slowly to Alice so that she can take over my work at any time in the future. What do you think?"
Meng Huo was startled, and Alice opened her eyes wide in surprise: "What are you talking about! Your hospitalization this time is just an accident, and it will be long in the future!"
"I know." Xu Jing laughed and said, "I didn't say I'll hand over the work to you right away. I mean, you have to take over my job in the future. Why not make a decision earlier - when do you want to hide our relationship?"
His idea was to announce Alice's identity and officially confirm that she was her successor, which would also help the stability of Phoenix Company.
"No, I don't want it!" Alice refused anxiously. If she agreed, wouldn't she have to stay in Ninghai to work in the future?
"Isn't this very good?" But after Meng Huo thought about it, he felt that Xu Jing's idea was good: "Alice is very capable, she can go to the next level to play a greater role. I agree with this matter and give her the identity of vice president..."
Alice stared at Meng Huo in disbelief: "Meng Huo, you..."
