Chapter 879: Crusade
The following two days, after discussions by Phoenix Company, the animation news of "Dragon and Tiger" was officially announced to the public, which caused another boil.n∈
This news was an unexpected surprise in the eyes of fans of "Dragon and Tiger", but it inevitably caused some long-awaited fans of "Detective Conan". Fortunately, Phoenix has announced the release date of "The Magician of the Early Century".
The movie will be released in early July, and it will take less than two months to catch up with the attention. Alice has made full use of the influence of the movie and suppressed fans' dissatisfaction with the delay in returning the animation of "Detective Conan".
Although I can't see "Detective Conan" return for the time being, there will be a movie called "Detective Conan" soon after - and it is a movie centered on the super popular character Kidd. "The Magician of the Early Century" is too charming, which naturally gives fans high expectations.
After suppressing the dissatisfaction of fans, Bai Yan and Meng Huo's two female assistants rushed to Tokyo respectively and began to prepare for the animation of "Dragon and Tiger". But at this time, "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has not yet been completed. To be precise, when the three of them went to Tokyo, "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" was still two weeks away.
"They are more anxious than me." Meng Huo said half-jokingly to Eiji Takashima, and at the same time instructed him to cooperate with Bai Yan well - "Dragon and Tiger" is the first animation work he lets other directors produce, and it is of great significance.
Eiji Takashima promised him that he would fully cooperate with Bai Yan's work. After Meng Huo was relieved, he immediately turned his attention to the completion event of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".
From last year to May this year, the serialization time of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is nearly a year. It is no longer an ordinary short story animation. The popularity of the world is even close to the two long animations of Zhongxia. In order to make it have a high popularity and end, Phoenix Company has formulated various celebrations a few months in advance.
Of course, the key and large-scale events will not be released after the animation is completed, but in the past two weeks before the end of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", some momentum is also needed. What Meng Hu most expects is that there is a concert held in Ninghai - Shen Jie's concert.
He hadn't seen Shen Jie for several months and had been looking forward to this concert for a long time, but just a few days before Shen Jie came back, Meng Huo suddenly received a message.
"Is Alice sick?" Alice was sick and was also absent from work. Meng Huo was surprised. He had never seen Alice sick before. She was a person who was very picky about physical conditions. Not to mention being sick, even discomfort was rare.
And this time is also very strange. Could it be that it was deliberately avoiding Shen Jie?
The more Meng Huo thought about it, the more likely it was. Voice Actor's Office set a fixed office in Su Hua, Ninghai and Tokyo, but Ninghai's voice Actor's Office is also located next to the Phoenix Building, just like the Tokyo office. If Shen Jie comes back, she is likely to meet Alice.
So Alice is likely to avoid it when she pretends to be sick - but despite this, Meng Huo still takes time to visit her house.
"This is her room." Alice's mother warmly received Meng Huo, then took him to Alice's door and said, "She may be sleeping. You go in, I won't bother you."
The blonde woman said goodbye to Meng Huo with a smile, and was not worried at all whether her daughter was still sleeping, so she handed her to Meng Huo. Meng Huo was shocked, then reached out and knocked on the door a few times. After a response came from inside, he breathed a sigh of relief before opening the door and walking in.
"Why are you here?" Unexpectedly, Alice was not sleeping. She was sorting out some documents at her desk. She was surprised when she saw Meng Huo walking in. It seemed that she had not heard the discussion outside before.
"I heard you are sick." Meng Huo frowned slightly: "I didn't expect to be really sick."
He saw that Alice's face was paler than usual, not as if she was pretending, but was really sick.
"You must think I'm pretending to be sick, right?" Alice laughed, but after a few laughs, she suddenly coughed. Meng Huo hurried over and poured water for her, then patted her on the back, making her gradually quiet.
"Damn..." After gasping, Alice smiled bitterly: "I really suffered this time."
"Suffer yourself?"
"Yes, I'll suffer..."
Alice asked Meng Huo to sit down. Her room was very big and she had all the facilities. She didn't even need to go out the door. She made a cup of tea for Meng Huo in the room, and then explained to him the reason for her illness - she really wanted to pretend to be sick and avoid Shen Jie, but she accidentally played too much.
"I haven't gotten sick for too long. I seem to be judging my body." Alice smiled bitterly and said, "I took a cold shower the day before yesterday and didn't care about it. I just came to my menstrual period again. When I noticed, I got sick - and I got angry with the cold."
Colds and heat are often complications, but perhaps it is because I haven't gotten sick for too long that my body's adaptability to the virus becomes fragile. A small attack quickly caused a continuation effect. Alice also insisted on going to work for a day yesterday, but her condition worsened today.
"My mother is very worried about me. I will definitely not let me go to work these two days." Alice shook her head. Although her face was pale, her spirit did not seem to have much impact: "In fact, it is good to get sick. I often got sick when I was a child, but my health would be better if I recovered."
"I don't think so." Meng Huo has always been a strong supporter of Wuyan.
He suddenly stretched out his hand: "Show me."
"What?" Alice looked puzzled.
"Your hand..." Meng Huo sighed, then grabbed Alice's hand and reached out to take her pulse: "Have you forgotten that I am half a doctor too? Well... your mouth opens and shows me..."
"Can you see a doctor?" Alice doubted whether Meng Huo would see a doctor. She knew that he had taught himself theories, but the doctor was not a theorist, and seeing a doctor requires rich experience - but despite this, she still opened her mouth obediently and showed it to Meng Huo.
Meng Huo is indeed not a real doctor. However, Alice is just a cold and anger. He is also very familiar with this common disease. It is still possible to see the severity of the disease.
"I don't see it very clearly, get closer and spit out your tongue."
"ah……"
Alice stretched out her tongue a little, Meng Huo looked at it, frowned slightly. "Komi... no..." Alice asked embarrassedly, feeling that the action of putting her head close to the other person and then sticking out her tongue was a bit erotic.
But Meng Huo didn't know her thoughts. He looked at Alice's various states carefully and roughly understood her condition - her illness was not as simple as she said. Although it was indeed not a serious illness, the condition was very serious.
"You'd better stop being patient, go back and lie down..." After seeing the disease, Meng Huo sighed: "Don't lie to me, when your mother comes over and sees you sitting here, she will be angry."
Alice was stunned: "What did you say?"
"I'm talking about your illness..." Meng Huo stood up. Suddenly he pulled Alice up and took her to the side. He reached out and pressed her on her: "That's it, let's have a good day of sleep today and don't think about work."
Alice wanted to struggle at first, but soon after she found it was useless, she became quiet.
"Are you worried about me?" she asked suddenly. "I won't come if I'm not worried, right?" Meng Huo let go of his hands, sat next to him, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I thought you were pretending to be sick at first."
Alice smiled: "I just wanted to pretend to be sick."
Meng Huo frowned again. Did Alice really want to pretend to be sick? He did think so at the beginning, but in fact, after thinking about it carefully, she had no reason to pretend to be sick. Alice didn't want to meet Shen Jie, but she wasn't afraid to pretend to be sick.
And even if she was afraid, Alice had many ways to avoid Shen Jie. She just found an excuse to leave Ninghai on a business trip, which was much better than getting sick.
"Did you... hide something from me..." Meng Huo hesitated for a while and asked, "Did you say anything to Shen Jie?"
Alice's eyes widened and she looked at Meng Huo with incredible face - and Meng Huo immediately knew that she had guessed it.
"Isn't it strange? Why did I suddenly think so?" Meng Huo laughed, but he didn't rush to explain, but found a clean towel from the bathroom, and then returned to the side to wipe Alice's sweat: "It's actually very simple, the time is too coincidental."
Alice fell ill two days before Shen Jie came back. This time was too coincidental. Meng Huo could not have thought that it would have nothing to do with Shen Jie. But if it wasn't for pretending to be sick to avoid Shen Jie, it would mean that Alice should have had something to do with Shen Jie, and she was psychologically hit.
"..." After hearing Meng Huo's words, Alice showed a bitter smile: "Meng Huo, I really can't understand you forever. Sometimes when you need you, you are very slow, but sometimes when I want you to be slow, you are very hard..."
Meng Huo stopped his hand and said, "Can I understand your words as if I guessed right?"
"...Well." Alice did not make a quibble this time, and she sighed softly: "When I was preparing a concert for Shen Jie a few days ago, I thought that we had been in a cold war for so long, maybe it was time to make up."
She explained something that happened a few days ago. Alice and Shen Jie had a cold war for more than half a year. She thought that it was just right to take advantage of Shen Jie's return to renovate Yu Hao, so she called her, but the two started arguing.
"Why did it start to quarrel?" Meng Huo was very surprised.
"Shen Jie said it's very easy to make up, just tell me not to limit your contact with her." Alice pursed her lips: "She wants to confess to you in public at this concert. I think she must be crazy."
Meng Huo was surprised: "Confess to me?"
"Yes, how could she do this..." Alice shook her head: "She will kill her and you will also kill her... But she said she didn't want to wait anymore. She had already obtained a lot of certificates and could take another step forward."
"Certificate?"
"Certificate of Occupation."
Alice looked at Meng Huo, he definitely couldn't believe it. She didn't believe it at all after hearing this. In just half a year, Chen Jie actually obtained sufficient qualification certificates to support her as secretary for Meng Huo - she is indeed a genius, an unimaginable genius.
Meng Huo was indeed surprised, but he was not as unbelievable as Alice imagined. Because before that, he knew that Chen Jie planned to become his secretary this year. And the old lady of the Meng family knew about this.
The person who supports Chen Jie as Meng Huo's secretary is actually the old lady of the Meng family. But the reason is not because she is very smart or she likes Meng Huo. But because Chen Jie is very strong, very strong - she is a natural bodyguard.
During the Chinese New Year, the old lady specially found some people to fight against Shen Jie, but Chen Jie won all the best. Since then, the old lady has recognized Chen Jie's power and liked her very much, wanting her wish to come true.
Therefore, during the process of Shen Jie's study, the Meng family provided her with the greatest support, including teachers and helping her obtain some authoritative certificates - in this case, anyone can get out of the school quickly, let alone the smart Chen Jie.
Meng Huo was also impressed by Chen Jie's learning ability. He believed that Chen Jie could become a teacher within this year, but he did not expect that she would make up all the bargaining chips in such a short time.
"It's a little trouble..." Meng Huo started to have a headache. Chen Jie's speed was faster than he expected, and he didn't expect that Chen Jie would actually go to him in the form of a 'official confession' - this is not a good way.
He could understand Chen Jie's approach. In fact, if Chen Jie became Meng Huo's secretary, rumors would definitely be indispensable, and they would definitely be responsibilities by many people in the future. Therefore, it is actually beneficial to announce that she likes Meng Huo as soon as possible. It can justify many things in the future.
And the earlier you explain this, the smaller the side effects it causes - but on the other hand, as Meng Huo and Shen Jie are now popular, the size of the side effects is only relatively small, no matter how small it is.
It is conceivable that if Chen Jie really did this, the response that would trigger the next one would be like a tsunami that would cause the entire Chinese media to go crazy.
"Why did she suddenly become so radical?" Meng Huo rubbed his eyebrows.
"This is her original character, right?" Alice smiled bitterly: "If her admiration for you continues, it will be exposed sooner or later. Anyway, you will be injured. It is better to be injured earlier - and in addition, she has a way out now. She dares to do things she didn't dare before - you won't ignore her, right?"
Meng Huo was speechless. If Chen Jie really had enough ability to prevent others from finding out the problem that she could not serve as his secretary, then he would of course protect Chen Jie and arrange her to him as agreed.
But in fact, Alice didn't say anything. Chen Jie has always wanted to be honest with her relationship since the past, and she was not afraid to leave a message. The reason why she never said it was not because she was afraid, but because she was afraid of hurting Meng Huo.
However, the situation is different now. Chen Jie is confident that she can work with Meng Huo, and with her strength, she can also protect Meng Huo's safety. Under this situation, even if the scandal causes harm to Meng Huo, Chen Jie can still stand by Meng Huo and share the burden and make up for the harm with her own efforts.
If Meng Huo lost anything because of this, Chen Jie would help him regain something, whether it was career or safety. Because of this, no one can stop Chen Jie now. At this moment, Chen Jie can start to follow the path he wants.
"She is back..." Alice grabbed Meng Huo's hand that was wiping her sweat, and said with some concern: "The Chen Jie used to be back now."
What is the difference between Chen Jie in the past and Chen Jie now? In fact, Meng Huo doesn’t think there is any difference. Apart from the fragile Chen Jie during the period of hospitalization, her personality has not changed a lot before and after - but the latter has become more mature.
But although his personality has not changed, the behavior patterns of the two Chen Jie are still different. The Chen Jie that Alice is worried about, Meng Huo knows what that is - that is Chen Jie without restraint.
Although Chen Jie's character in the past and present is the same, Chen Jie in the past is not bound at all, so she dares to follow her own ideas and act actively, willful, and very impulsive. But now Chen Jie has become mature, and she has considered a lot of things, so she has frugalized her own actions.
However, if Chen Jie plans to confess to Meng Huo at the concert as Alice said, it is indeed a worrying phenomenon: this means that Chen Jie is no longer psychologically restrained, she no longer worrys about anything, and becomes more proactive.
Meng Huo thought it would not be possible to do this initiative to evolve into radicalism and impulse - but it was difficult for him to guarantee that, and for Alice, this was the biggest disaster. If Chen Jie returned to the past action mode, she would probably not show mercy and would not act according to the two of them's "three rules".
"So you're sick?" Meng Huo guessed the reason.
"I'm afraid you will be taken away by her." - Alice wanted to say this, but she didn't say it after all, just nodded: "I don't like the Chen Jie in the past."
Meng Huo couldn't help laughing: "But you said before that you like her very much."
"It used to be the past, now now..." Alice rolled her eyes at Meng Huo, snatched the towel from his hand, and then put it on her forehead, and her head seemed to have become much calmer: "But I warned her."
"warn?"
"Well, if she dares to confess in public at the concert." Alice turned her eyes away: "Then next week... I will find a chance to confess to you on Suhua TV..."
