Big Manga

A week later, in the evening, the doorbell of Meng Huo's apartment rang.

"Here we come, wait a minute..." He straightened his collar and opened the door. He was taken aback when he saw the person outside the door: "Shen Jie? Why are you back?"

Shen Jie smiled and said, "I'll go through the formalities when I come back."

Meng Huo remembered that after the concert, Shen Jie had been officially appointed as a director of the voice actor firm. Manga Island is the headquarters of the voice actor agency, Shen Jie will naturally have to come back to go through the formalities for her promotion, or even more than just the formalities, she is very likely 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!"

Shen Jie shook her head: "It's just a coincidence, Alice is actually not satisfied with my actions."

It was a little hard for her to bear Meng Huo's congratulations. In fact, her actions were very jerky. Although many ordinary employees in the company were welcomed by her straightforward and direct tough style, none of the senior management gave them any good comments.

Alice also felt that Shen Jie did not meet her expectations, but she could not be said to have failed, so after much consideration, Alice finally issued a formal appointment to Shen Jie, which made Shen Jie feel that she had gotten lucky.

"Don't be discouraged, Alice is actually optimistic about you." Meng Huo said with a smile. Although she was lucky, Shen Jie's learning ability is indeed good. Because of this, Alice judged that she could try to formally enter the job.

After being officially appointed, Shen Jie is not a supervisor with real power, but in fact, her position is mostly empty - she is more like an 'intern' supervisor. The main job is to learn from other supervisors, gain experience slowly, and become a real supervisor.

Alice appointed Shen Jie for one year, and this was the time for her to grow up. In one year, Shen Jie will successfully transform into a real supervisor. And be convinced by other people in the company, otherwise you will eventually have to retire.

No matter how willful Alice is, she can't put a useless person in the position of director of the firm for a long time. But for Shen Jie's future. Meng Huo wasn't worried, he knew Shen Jie's talent very well-let alone a year. Half a year is too much for him.

"Are you going to go out?" Shen Jie asked strangely. She saw that Meng Huo had just taken a shower and changed into brand new clothes, so he was obviously going out.

"Yeah." Meng Huo nodded: "I'm going to Meng's house." He looked at Shen Jie and said with a smile, "It's just right, you can come too!"

"Is it possible?" Shen Jie said in surprise.

"sure,

It's not like you don't know the old lady. Meng Huo said, "Besides, you just came back, so you must have not eaten dinner. You happened to go with me." "

He was going to Meng's house to have dinner with the old lady. Meng Huo hadn't seen the old lady for a while, and she had invited her many times, so it was hard for him to find time today. Shen Jie got along very well with the old lady, maybe she would be happier if she was taken to the old lady.

"Well, I haven't seen the old lady for more than half a year."

Shen Jie immediately agreed, and she put it in Alice's apartment to salute, and then the two drove to Meng's house together. When the two arrived, the old lady had already prepared dinner, and the table was full of dishes, which made the two of them whet their appetites.

"Here. Meng Huo..." During the dinner, Shen Jie was very happy, seeing Meng Huo's favorite dishes too far away. I took the initiative to help him clip it.

The old lady looked at this scene with a gentle expression, and then suddenly said to Shen Jie: "Shen Jie, I heard that you have been promoted?"

"Your news is so fast..." Shen Jie was taken aback. After the two arrived, they didn't tell the old lady about it. Obviously, she knew about it a long time ago. It seemed that the old lady also paid attention to her.

"You've only been working for a long time, haven't you?" The old lady praised: "It's amazing..."

"No way." Shen Jie blushed slightly, stopped the chopsticks in her hand, and said, "I'm just lucky, and what I have to do now is only some simple things. I can't handle important tasks yet."

"Any job is done from a young age. With your ability, it will be done soon." The old lady said that she was as optimistic about Shen Jie as Meng Huo. She was impressed by the girl's talent.

Shen Jie's face turned even redder. She usually behaved carelessly in front of many people, but amidst the old lady's praise, for some reason, she just felt that she couldn't bear to be shy—maybe it was because the old lady was her The highest and most respectable person I have ever met.

At this moment, the old lady smiled again and looked at Shen Jie and Meng Huo: "When are you two going to get married?"

"Pfft..." Meng Huo almost spit the rice out of his mouth, and Shen Jie coughed violently immediately: "Cough, cough... old lady, why did you suddenly...haven't said anything about this!? "

"Eh?" The old lady showed a strange expression: "I thought it was confirmed, the three of you are not..."

"Ahhh!" Shen Jie suddenly felt something was wrong, she couldn't help standing up and shouting: "Old lady, are you thinking too much!?"

Meng Huo looked at her in surprise, wondering why she was so excited, the old lady was also taken aback, then frowned slightly, seemed to understand something, nodded and said: "I understand...Shen Jie, after dinner later, can you talk to me?" Shall I talk?"

"……Yes……"

With a downcast expression, Shen Jie sat down again. Meng Huo was a little confused, frowned, and continued to eat with his head down.

After dinner, Shen Jie followed the old lady of the Meng family to an unoccupied room.

"Okay, talk to me, what's going on with the three of you?" The old lady sat down and asked, "Meng Huo still doesn't know about you and that woman named Alice?"

"He doesn't know!... By the way, how do you know?" Shen Jie looked at the old lady wanting to cry.

"Isn't it obvious?" The old lady sighed helplessly: "Who did you start the job under? Who promoted you now?"

"..."

Shen Jie was silent. Thinking about it this way, her transformation in the past six months has something to do with Alice.

Although the old lady didn't see the conversation between Shen Jie and Alice with her own eyes, she could easily guess from the analysis of the interaction between the two girls that the two girls had resolved their grievances. Alice takes care of Shen Jie in various jobs on weekdays, and the three of them spend a lot more time together.

"If you were still rivals in love, you wouldn't be able to get along so harmoniously together now." The old lady looked at Shen Jie and said, if she and Alice hadn't reached a compromise on Meng Huo's matter. The two of them would not be in 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 anything, especially you, Shen Jie... I thought you would never do it Make this choice."

She looked at Shen Jie. Shen Jie felt a little bitter.

"I'm not completely relieved, in fact, I really mind. Now I also mind..." Shen Jie shook her head and said, "I... I just want to see what Alice does... I still can't believe this way Is it right, I can't believe I can get along with her all the time..."

She took a breath, and after she calmed down, she began to tell the old lady about her and Alice.

However, after the old lady heard this, she showed a helpless expression: "...you are wasting time, you two just need to talk to Meng Huo earlier, don't worry about the problems between you two women. You are sure can accept each other."

Shen Jie was taken aback: "Why?"

"You and Alice are both smart people, you know what you should do and what you shouldn't do." The old lady sighed, "The smarter the person, the better he knows what to do. There is no conflict between your two personalities. As long as you have a consensus on ideas, It’s very difficult to get along with each other.”

"..."

Shen Jie was silent. What the old lady said seemed to make sense. She and Alice actually knew a little bit about it. Shen Jie judged that Alice would never do anything to embarrass herself, and maybe the other party is the same, they both know that they need to take care of each other.

"But... I'm still a little worried."

Of course, no matter how good the idea is. After observing carefully for a while, Shen Jie still couldn't really accept the fact that they wanted to get along with Meng Huo.

"..." The old lady shook her head and stood up again: "It seems that my joy was in vain. I thought I would be able to hug my great-grandson next year!"

"Great...great-grandson..." Shen Jie was dumbfounded, this old lady must have thought too far ahead!

"Do you think I'm thinking too far?" The old lady looked at Shen Jie, and she could easily see her thoughts, and said, "Great-grandson is very important, you can't underestimate him... If you can If you establish a relationship with Meng Huo earlier, the pressure on my side will be much less."

She was referring to the matter of the Meng family. The old lady had been suppressing the people below for Meng Huo, but she was under a lot of pressure.

If Meng Huo could get married and have children earlier, her pressure would have disappeared—maybe Meng Huo would not have to worry about her own freedom. The old lady would not force him to accept things from the Meng family, and instead pinned her hopes on the upbringing of his children.

The structure of Mengshi Group is generally stable. The old lady believes that she will not have any problems for more than ten years, so that's the case. She has plenty of time to raise the next generation. In fact, as long as there is a new successor, even if it is very small, the pressure within the group will be much less.

"This...can't be..." Shen Jie's head was a little dizzy, she didn't even think about getting married, but the old lady had everything about her son planned out.

"If you don't like it, then give that woman's child to me!" The old lady said, "You two are just right, give me a great-grandson earlier, and I will let Meng go free. He can do whatever he wants .”

Shen Jie was dizzy, the old lady was thinking too far, really too far.

She felt that it was not time to talk about this topic. The old lady seemed to regard her and Alice as Meng Huo's possessions, but Shen Jie was not fully prepared for it yet—she could only fall into a wasteland. and flee.

"What did the old lady tell you?"

When leaving Meng's house, Meng Huo asked Shen Jie.

"She..." Shen 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."

"Really..." Meng Huo was suspicious.

"It's really nothing!" In order to divert Meng Huo's focus, Shen Jie immediately changed the subject: "I heard that you are going to publish a new comic?"

"Well, what did you hear from Alice?"

"No, you didn't deliberately keep it secret. Many people in Ninghai know about it, and I think many readers will know about it." Shen Jie said with a smile: "When will the new comic be released? I heard it is a very beautiful comic. No matter the painting style, the story, or the writing style are beautiful...the editors said so."

Meng Huo was a little surprised that news of the comics had spread so widely—but thinking about it, the release time was coming.

"On sale tomorrow."

"Ah? Tomorrow!" Shen Jie was taken aback: "It's so fast, isn't there no notice yet?"

Meng Huo patted his head: "Oh, I forgot, the serial trailer will be released tomorrow."

Shen Jie breathed a sigh of relief, she almost thought that the new manga would be released without notice!

But how could He Xi's comics not do any promotion? Just like the previous practice, "Natsume's Book of Friends" will also have a cover preview in the weekly magazine before the official serialization-the latest issue of "Weekly Girl" published this preview the next day.

"He Xi's new work!" In the upper right corner of the magazine cover are four bright red characters. No advertising slogan is more eye-catching than "He Xi's new work".

Of course, in addition to these four words, there are other words on the cover color picture, such as "the first girl manga with a boy as the protagonist!", "a strange, nostalgic, and touching story of a boy and a monster. .” Introductions like this are also very attractive.

However, before He Xi's new work is released, the most attractive thing is undoubtedly the color picture on the cover. This time the cover content has once again refreshed the readers' visual enjoyment and caused a rush to buy the magazine.

On the cover is a handsome boy in a white shirt and trousers with a handsome face. The boy is standing on a hillside, holding a book-like thing in his hand and looking back. There is a giant tree on the hill, and the sun shines through the shadows cast by the leaves on the boy, making him look gentle and sunny.

"This painting is so emotional! But...how is it similar to that painting?"

Jiang Tianshi bought a magazine early in the morning and looked at it on the way to work. He was very surprised-although the content of this painting is different, the overall structure is very similar to the poster of "Strike of the Fairy Sword" he had shown to Meng Huo before. The same towering terrain, the dark sky turned into a giant tree with desolate greenness, and the sunlight falling from the sky turned into sunlight pouring down from the leaves.

And similarly, under this cover, there are some figures of humans and monsters standing, as if they are calling the boy in front, and the boy looks back at the scene.

Two paintings with similar structures, one is full of momentum, one is full of aura, one is full of murderousness, and the other is gentle. These are completely different styles-but there is a fascinating charm in both paintings.

It's as if... He Xi is deliberately responding to that poster... (to be continued)
