Chapter 953: Response
A week later, in the evening, the doorbell of Menghuo Apartment rang.
"Here, wait..." He tidied up his collar and opened the door. When he saw the person outside the door, he was stunned: "Chen Jie? Why are you back?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "I'll come back to complete the procedures."
Meng Huo remembered that after the concert, Chen Jie had been officially appointed as a supervisor of the voice actor firm. Comic Island is the base camp of the voice actor firm, and Chen Jie naturally has to come back to complete the procedures for promotion, not just the procedures. She is very likely to have to work here.
"I haven't congratulated you yet!" Meng Huo laughed: "I didn't expect you to be promoted so quickly. The voice actor did a great job. The company is talking about you now!"
Chen Jie shook her head: "Just by chance, Alice is actually not satisfied with my approach."
She was a little unbearable to bear Meng Huo's congratulations. In fact, her actions were very awkward. Although her straightforward and straightforward style attracted the welcome of many ordinary employees within the company, the senior management did not give any good comments.
Alice also felt that Chen Jie did not meet her expectations, but she could not be said to have failed. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Alice finally issued a formal appointment to Chen Jie, which made Chen Jie feel that she had good luck.
"Don't be discouraged, Alice is actually optimistic about you." Meng Huo laughed. Although he had good luck, Chen Jie's learning ability was indeed good. It was because of this that Alice judged that she could try to officially join the company.
After being formally appointed, Chen Jie is not a real-powered supervisor. In fact, she is mostly a false position and is more like an "intern" supervisor. Her main job is to learn from other supervisors and slowly gain experience, so as to become a real supervisor.
Alice gave Chen Jie appointment for one year, which was the time for her to grow. In a year, Chen Jie would successfully transform into a real supervisor and be convinced by the rest of the company, otherwise she would have to retreat in the end.
No matter how willful Alice is, she cannot put a useless person in the position of the head of the firm for a long time. However, Meng Huo is not worried about Chen Jie's future. He knows Chen Jie's talents very well, let alone a year. He thinks it's too much in half a year.
"You are going out," Chen Jie asked strangely. She saw that Meng Huo had just finished taking a shower and changed into brand new clothes, and was obviously preparing to go out.
"Yes." Meng Huo nodded: "I'm going to go to the Meng family." He looked at Chen Jie and smiled: "It just so happens that you can come too!"
"Is that OK?" Chen Jie said in surprise.
"Of course, you don't know the old lady," Meng Huo said, "And you just came back and definitely didn't have dinner, so you happened to go with me."
He was going to go to the Meng family to have dinner with the old lady. Meng Huo hadn't seen the old lady for a while. She invited her many times, but he finally took time out today. Chen Jie got along well with the old lady, and maybe she could be happier when she took her to the old lady.
"Okay, I haven't seen an old lady for more than half a year."
Chen Jie immediately agreed, she put a salute in Alice's apartment, and then the two of them took a bus to the Meng family. When they arrived, the old lady had already prepared dinner, and the table was full of dishes, which made them feel very envious.
"Give it to Meng Huo..." During dinner, Chen Jie was very happy. Seeing that Meng Huo liked too far, she took the initiative to pick it up for him.
The old lady looked at the scene with a gentle expression, and then suddenly said to Chen Jie: "Chen Jie, I heard you have been promoted?"
"Your news is so fast..." Chen Jie was shocked. After the two arrived, they didn't tell the old lady about the matter. Obviously she had known it a long time ago, and it seemed that the old lady was very concerned about her.
"You haven't worked for a long time, right?" the old lady praised: "It's amazing..."
"No." Chen Jie's face turned slightly red, she stopped the chopsticks in her hand and said, "I'm just lucky, and what I have to do now is just some simple things. I can't handle important tasks yet."
"Any job is done from childhood, and with your ability, it will be done soon." The old lady said. She was as optimistic as Meng Huo. This girl's talent impressed her.
Chen Jie's face turned redder. She usually acted carelessly in front of many people, but amid the old lady's praise, for some reason, she just felt that she could not stand shy. This may be because the old lady is the person she has ever seen with the highest status and the most respectable person.
At this moment, the old lady smiled again and looked at Chen Jie and Meng Huo: "When will you two get married?"
"Puff..." Meng Huo almost spurted the rice out of his mouth, and Chen Jie immediately coughed violently: "Cough, cough... Old lady, why are you suddenly... not talking about this yet!?"
"Eh?" The old lady showed a strange expression: "I thought I had already confirmed it, you three are not..."
"Ahhhh!" Chen Jie suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but stand up and scream: "Old lady, you're thinking too much!?"
Meng Huo looked at her in surprise, wondering why she was so excited. The old lady was also stunned, then frowned slightly, as if she understood something, nodded and said, "I understand... Chen Jie, can you talk to me after dinner later?"
"……yes……"
Chen Jie looked down and sat down again. Meng Huo was a little confused, frowned, and then continued to lower his head to eat.
After dinner, Chen Jie followed the old lady of the Meng family to an idle room.
"Okay, let's talk to me, what's wrong with you three?" The old lady sat down and asked, "Meng Huo doesn't know about you and the woman named Alice?"
"He doesn't know!... By the way, how could you know?" Chen Jie looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes.
"Isn't this very obvious?" the old lady sighed helplessly: "Who did you start your job? Who is the promotion now?"
“…”
Chen Jie was silent. Thinking of this, her transformation over the past six months was inseparable from Alice.
Although the old lady did not see Chen Jie and Alice's conversation with her own eyes, she could easily guess from the analysis of the interaction between the two girls. Alice had eliminated the grudges in various ways to take care of Chen Jie on weekdays, and the three of them spent a lot more time together.
"If you are still rivals in love, you will not be able to live in such harmony now." The old lady looked at Chen Jie and said. If she and Alice had not compromised on Meng Huo's affairs, the two would not have shown the current situation.
And there is only one way for the two to compromise.
"But my grandson is more popular than I thought..." The old lady smiled bitterly, "You two girls can do everything, especially you, Chen Jie... I thought you would never make this choice."
She looked at Chen Jie. Chen Jie felt a little bitter.
"I'm not completely relieved, actually I mind very much. I'm also very much now..." Chen Jie shook her head and said, "I... I just want to see what Alice does... I can't believe whether this is right now, nor can I believe that I can get along with her all the time..."
She took a breath, calmed down, and began to tell the old lady about her and Alice.
However, after hearing this, the old lady showed a helpless expression: "...You are just wasting time. You two just need to talk to Meng Huo early, and you don't have to worry about the problem between you two women. You will definitely accept each other."
Chen Jie was stunned: "Why?"
"You and Alice are both smart people, knowing what you should and should not do." The old lady sighed: "The smarter the more you know the right way. There is no conflict between you personality. As long as you have a consensus in your philosophy, it is difficult for you to get along with it."
“…”
Chen Jie was silent. What the old lady said seemed to make some sense. She and Alice actually felt a little aware of it. Chen Jie judged that Alice would never do things that would make her embarrassed, and maybe the other party was the same. They all knew that they needed to take care of each other.
"But... I'm still a little worried."
Of course, no matter how good the concept is, Chen Jie still couldn't really accept the fact that they wanted to live with Meng Huo without observing it carefully.
"..." The old lady shook her head and stood up again: "It seems that I'm so happy. I thought I would be able to pick up my great-grandson next year!"
"Great-grandson..." Chen Jie was stunned. This old lady was too advanced in thinking!
"Do you think I'm thinking too far?" The old lady looked at Chen Jie and easily saw her thoughts, saying: "Great-grandson is a very important thing. You can't underestimate him... If you could confirm your relationship with Meng Huo earlier, my pressure would be much less."
She was referring to the affairs of the Meng family. The old lady had been suppressing the people below for Meng Huo, but she was under great pressure.
If Meng Huo could get married and have children early, her pressure would disappear, maybe Meng Huo wouldn't have to worry about her freedom. The old lady wouldn't force him to accept the things of the Meng family, but instead pinned her hopes on raising his children.
The structure of Meng's group is generally stable. The old lady believes that she will not have any problems for more than ten years. In this case, she has plenty of time to cultivate the next generation. In fact, as long as there are new successors, even if they are very small, the pressure within the group will be much less.
"This...isn't it..." Chen Jie's head was a little dizzy. She didn't even think about getting married, but the old lady had planned everything about her son.
"If you are not happy, then you will hand over the woman's child to me!" said the old lady: "You two are just right. Give me a great-grandson early, and I will let Meng Huo free. He can do whatever he wants."
Chen Jie was dizzy. The old lady thought too far, it was really too far.
She felt that she was not yet talking about this topic, and the old lady seemed to have regarded her and Alice as Meng Huo's belongings, but Chen Jie was not fully prepared yet and could only escape.
"What did the old lady tell you?"
When leaving the Meng family, Meng Huo asked Chen Jie.
"She..." Chen Jie was a little embarrassed. She couldn't say that the old man had already started to arrange her son's future: "I didn't say anything."
"Is that right..." Meng Huo was very suspicious.
"It's really nothing!" In order to change Meng Huo's focus, Chen Jie immediately changed the topic: "I heard you are going to release a new comic?"
"Well, what did you hear from Alice?"
"No, you didn't keep it secret. Many people in Ninghai know about it. I think many readers will know about it." Chen Jie smiled and said, "When will the new comic be released? I heard it is a very beautiful comic. It is beautiful in terms of the style, story, and text style... That's what the editors said."
Meng Huo was a little surprised. The news of the comics has spread so widely, but thinking about it is, the release time is coming.
“Open tomorrow.”
"Ah? Tomorrow!" Chen Jie was shocked: "So quickly, haven't you made a preview yet?"
Meng Huo patted his head: "Oh, I forgot, what will be released tomorrow is the serial preview."
Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief, she almost thought that the new comic would be released without any preview!
However, how could He Xi's comics not be promoted? Just like the past practice, "Natsume Friends' Account" will also publish the trailer on the weekly magazine's cover preview the next day, the latest issue of "Weekly Girl" on the second day.
"He Xi's new work!" There are four bright red characters in the upper right corner of the magazine cover. Any advertising slogan is not as eye-catching as "He Xi's new work".
Of course, in addition to these four words, there are other texts on the cover color picture, such as "The first girl comic with a boy as the protagonist!", "The strangeness, nostalgia, and touching warm story of the boy and the monster." The introductions are also very attractive.
However, before every new work of He Xi is released, the most attractive thing is undoubtedly the cover color pictures. This time the cover content once again refreshed the visual enjoyment of readers and caused a rush to buy magazines.
On the cover is a beautiful boy wearing a white shirt and trousers, who is standing on the hillside, looking back with something like a book in his hand. There is a giant tree on the hill, and the shadows cast by the leaves fall on the boy, making him look gentle and sunny.
"This painting is so touching! But...why is it a bit similar to that painting?"
Jiang Tianshi bought a magazine early in the morning and looked at it on his way to work. He was surprised that although the content of this painting was different, the overall structure was very similar to the poster of "The Sword of the Immortals" he had seen for Meng Huo before. It was also a towering terrain. The dim sky turned into a giant green tree, and the sunshine scattered in the sky turned into sunshine pouring down from the leaves.
Then, under the cover, there were some figures of humans and monsters standing, as if calling the boy in front of him, and the boy looked back at the scene.
Two paintings with similar structures, one with a full momentum, one with a full spirit, one with murderous aura, and the other with gentleness. This is a completely different style, but both paintings have fascinating charm.
