"Miss Guizi, why did you come here by yourself?"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Alice walked out of Tokyo Station and was greeted by Takako Takashima.

"I saw that you came back in such a hurry, so I came to pick you up......" Takashima Takashima smiled, opened the car door and said, "Get in the car, let's talk about it in the car." ”

She invited Alice to get in the car, there were only two of them in the car, Alice's identity is very important in the Phoenix Company, and she is also the top boss of Kako Takashima, Takashima Takako will naturally not slack off. There are quite a lot of female executives in Phoenix, and she is also happy to have a good relationship with these people of the same gender.

Takashima takes Alice to dinner in a car, and on the way asks her about the reason for her sudden change of itinerary. Alice originally planned to use the power of Sakura Company to investigate the truth behind "Land of Ice and Fire", so naturally she didn't hide it, and told the matter 1510 - of course, she concealed her relationship with her biological father, but said that in addition to suspicion.

"So you can't sign the contract?" Takashima Takashima was surprised.

"Of course you can't sign it, how can you sign this kind of contract? And I put things off for the time being, and I don't plan to go back. Alice said a little unhappily: "The people who came with me will spend the night in Yokohama tonight, they will come here tomorrow, please send someone to pick them up!" ”

She decided to come back early at the last minute, but the hotel and rooms in Yokohama were booked, and the other employees would stay there for the night tonight.

"That's fine." Takashima Takako agreed, and the reception staff was very simple: "But since you suspect that Mr. Matsumon is a liar, then just give up this matter, why bother to investigate the truth." Could it be that the original manuscript of "Land of Fire and Ice" is really that good? ”

"It's really outstanding." Alice nodded: "If it is launched in the form of a comic." I believe that author can be ranked in the top five cartoonists of our company. ”

Phoenix now has hundreds of signed cartoonists. The concept of the top five is quite staggering, although the media and society agree that he is the cornerstone of Phoenix. But Alice is well aware that Meng has been controlling the number of her comics, leaving more opportunities for other cartoonists.

Cultivating more and more popular cartoonists is the cornerstone of Phoenix's long-term development - this is Meng's consistent advocacy, and he cares more about the cultivation of new cartoonists than anyone else. In recent years, Phoenix's comic magazine sales and the number of cartoonists have grown greatly, although there are not many reports, but Phoenix has begun to catch up with Zhongxia Company from the basics.

A cartoonist with the potential to be in the top five. Naturally, Alice won't miss out.

And Takashima Takako was taken aback: "Top five? No, aren't you too optimistic about him! ”

If a cartoonist can rank in the top five in the entire Phoenix Company, then his ranking in Huaxia will not be lower than fifteen, and there has not been a single such cartoonist in the Far East. But Takashima Takashima still remembers that one of the most powerful cartoonists in the Far East Region has launched a new work, and at that time there were rumors that he might jump to the Nakatsu company, Takashima Takako and Takashima Eiji were shocked, and the two of them immediately went to visit him together.

The status of an excellent manga artist has become more and more popular in recent years, and there are people everywhere to grab it, and if what Alice said is true, then Takashima Takako is not willing to miss this person.

"I'm still conservative." Alice frowned, "I heard that the man has other manuscripts in his hand. Each one is very good, I haven't seen it. If this is true, and the comics are all from the same person, I think it would be okay to be in the top three. ”

"Top three?" Takashima Takashima drove to a traffic intersection and was almost so frightened that she forgot to brake in front of the red light: "Then wouldn't he be on a par with Miss Qin Ya?" ”

"Yes, absolutely."

Alice nodded, Huaxia Comics is developing too fast, in fact, the biggest problem now is still the lack of quality.

Many painters can draw good pictures, but their ability to make up stories is too low. And Qin Ya can rank second in the Phoenix Company for this reason: because she can draw and make up stories for comics - this is not many people in Zhongxia Company can do, and the best comics in Zhongxia are still adapted, and novelists are mainly made up as staff officers.

And the biggest ability of this work is that the story is very good, it is original, very novel and interesting, and the drawing is good, this work makes Alice feel the same feeling as Meng Shu and Qin Ya, it is a story born for comics, and even the potential of cartoonists may exceed Qin Ya.

Qin Ya is still in the transition period, and her work style still has a strong girlish taste, which is more niche, and it is still unknown whether she can successfully transform into a favorite of the vast majority of people.

However, the style of "Land of Ice and Fire" is not niche, the subject matter seems strange, but the story does not favor either male or female readers, but tells an epic story in a calm narrative style, and the characters of all genders and races are charming - this author is in control of the big picture.

Alice doesn't even find out whether the author is male or female from the story, which surprises her, and she thinks that this author has the potential to become a trumpet.

"Hearing you say that, I'll help with this."

Intrigued, Takashima parked her car outside a restaurant and took Alice inside for a bite to eat, continuing to ask how to investigate: "Are we investigating openly or secretly, and are we trying to avoid his eyes and ears?" If he doesn't have connections here, then he can use some irregular means? ”

It's not easy to investigate a rich man, but a rich man from outside, Takashima Takako hints that some informal means can be used.

Alice was intrigued, she knew that the fastest investigation was undoubtedly going dark, and it was just right to teach the man a lesson. But on the other hand, maybe it's because I've been staying with Meng Shu for a long time, Alice always has a little bit of a mustard in her heart, if Meng Shu knows about this kind of thing, will he think she's too dark?

"......" thought about it, and Alice made a middle way: "It's better to be careful, don't make a fuss about nothing, just investigate quietly, don't let him find out...... If I don't get results in a month or two, then I'll consider other options. ”

Takashima Takako nodded: "I'll arrange it tomorrow, but ......" She hesitated for a moment: "What about the president's side?" Do you want to sue him about that cartoonist? ”

"Don't!" Alice immediately shouted in denial, her face was slightly cold, this matter must not be known to Meng Xu, especially the man's cunzài, Alice does not want Meng to know anything about him - this is the most annoying thing for her.

Takashima Takashima was taken aback by her movements: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay......" Alice calmed down, and then explained: "Meng Yu has been responsible for too much work recently, and now is a critical period for the production of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, there is no need to bother him with such a trivial matter, it is not too late for us to find out the cartoonist first and then sue him." ”

"Yes too......" Takashima Takashima thought about it too, and didn't talk about it again after that.

After eating, the two went out to pick up the car.

"Where are you staying tonight? There are four hotels in the vicinity and I built yì ......"

"No need, you can take me to Meng Huo." Alice smiled: "His apartment is big enough. ”

Takashima Takashima's footsteps faltered, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened: "Does the president agree?" ”

"Yes, I asked him on the train." Alice smiled, "And that's where I bought, so it's okay to stay for a few nights, right?" ”

"Indeed."

Takashima Takashima had a smile on her face, but she was guessing in her heart about the relationship between Alice and Meng Shu: although there were bodyguards present, men and women lived together, and the objects were Alice and He Xi, which would always make people reminisce. The biggest secret gossip of the top executives of Phoenix Company is the issue of Meng Huo's emotional affiliation, and he is even divided into many factions.

Alice has been in contact with Meng for the longest time, and coupled with her unusual status in the company, she is the most suspicious faction inside. Many people suspect that Meng Shu and Alice had made a marriage contract a few years ago, and it was precisely because of this that Xu Jing would sell his equity to him - because sooner or later they would be a family.

But of course, these are all gossip rumors, even if she is curious, Takashima Takashima didn't ask anything, she took Alice to the bottom of Meng Shu's apartment, and then waved goodbye to her. Alice walked into the building, then took the elevator to the door of the apartment, she straightened her hair slightly, and was about to take out the key to open the door, but the door suddenly opened.

"Miss Alice, the young master has been waiting for you for a long time." The bodyguard led her in, and Alice found that Meng was sitting on the sofa reading alone, so she sat down with her.

"The contract is not signed?" Meng Shu didn't look up, but his voice was a little cold.

Alice understood the reason for his coldness, and she used a bit of strong language when she offered to stay in the apartment on the train, and the sensitive Meng Shu seemed to sense that she was deliberately approaching him.

"Yes, I won't sign it." Alice felt a sense of melancholy in her heart, but she still replied with a smile: "I'm going to stay here for a few days." ”

"What, how many days are you going to stay!?" Meng Shu looked over in surprise, but after seeing Alice's face, he was stunned and frowned slightly: "Your face is so stiff, are you in trouble today?" ”

"Is there one?" Alice touched her face, her face was indeed a little tight, this tightness was actually felt since she saw the man in the afternoon, but Alice usually belongs to the calm type, this expression is not obvious at all. She didn't care too much, she didn't expect Meng Shu to be able to see through it at a glance.

She suddenly felt that it didn't matter, no matter what melancholy or her father was, she couldn't interrupt her actions against the person in front of her, (to be continued......
