Chapter 627: Hold a Banquet
Of course, Alice didn't tell Meng Shu about it, but found a random reason to hide it from him.
Then the next morning, the two of them came to the Sakura Company together, Meng Shu turned around and went to the animation department, while Alice and Takajima Takako hooked up and began to prepare for the investigation of the original author of "The Land of Ice and Fire", in order not to arouse Meng Shu's suspicion, she also visited various departments of the Sakura Company.
Alice, who was originally little known at Sakura, arrived here, and the blonde and tall woman aroused everyone's curiosity, and soon set off a wave of discussion.
"Who's that Western beauty? How can it be received by the vice president in person? ā
"Stupid, you've never heard of such an obvious feature? She's Miss Alice, the head of the company's voice actor, and she has been promoted continuously in the past few years, so she can be said to be the first person below the president, and her status in the head office is even higher than that of Vice President Takashima, but I didn't expect her to be such a big beauty! ā
Alice's identity is not a secret, especially some employees who have participated in the Huaxia Film and Television Festival, and they have a deep memory of this woman.
"She is very valued by the president, and she is very powerful, and she arranged an itinerary for us last time at the film and television festival!"
"I spoke to Miss Alice, she is a very gentle woman, and she is very popular in the company, you should not look at her with the eyes of a foreigner, this is too rude! Although she looks a little different, she was born in China like us! ā
All sorts of information about Alice spread quickly, and within a day, the employees of the building knew that there was such a big man in existence. Meng Shu can also feel this sense of restlessness when he works in the animation department. When Alice came here to visit, the atmosphere in the department was obviously much more tense - just like the emperor's private visit.
On actual identity. Meng was obviously a little taller than Alice, but the rest of the staff were familiar with him. The reaction was not as big as Alice's.
"You're so popular!" Back at the apartment in the evening, Meng Shu said this to Alice.
"You were more popular than me when you appeared in the office...... Alice glanced at Meng Shu, every time he went to the office, he always attracted a lot of onlookers from the female voice actors, but he was much more popular than her, the situation of Sakura Company was similar, and the male employees today were obviously much more excited than the female employees.
This welcome is not so much a welcome as a curiosity combined with a longing for the good opposite sex.
Alice and Meng lived in the same apartment, but she didn't rush to get closer to Meng. The opposite is true, for two days in a row. She tried her best to avoid conflict with Meng Huo, who was painting at night, and she didn't bother, but went out to find Takashima Takashima to eat and go shopping - the situation was the same as usual, although Alice and Meng Huo were close, but there was not much contact.
The mustard in Meng Shu's heart quickly disappeared, and he secretly sighed that he was thinking nonsense, in fact, the apartment was the same with or without Alice.
On the other hand, Alice and Takashima's investigation is progressing very quickly. They focused their first investigation on the people inside the Matsumon Villa. After being tempted by money, they quickly acquired some useful information - for example, Matsumon did have a few manuscripts in his possession.
"It seems that the animation company didn't lie to me......" Alice became even more interested after receiving the news: "Let's speed up a little bit, it would be nice if we could see the samples of those drafts." ā
Takashima Takashima's thoughts were the same as hers: "But this man is so cautious." Not much news. Fortunately, the bodyguard in the villa said that he often brought women back and kept a few beautiful maids - his private life was so debauched that he wondered if he could start with these women. ā
"Women?" Alice's expression was slightly cold: "I think it's okay." ā
That man's greatest hobby is women. Those women might really know the inside story.
The investigation continued to deepen, and in a flash. Alice and Meng have been living together for three days.
"What are you doing over there?" Finally, Alice received a somewhat cold call from Shen Jie.
Shen Jie knew about this from Meng Shu's mouth. I endured it for two days, but now I can't bear it anymore.
"I'm investigating one thing, rest assured, I didn't steal your Meng Huo." Alice replied, and then, with a bit of a declaration of war, said in a condensed voice, "I promised to play fair with you, but that doesn't mean I can't take action...... Shen Jie, if you continue like this, it won't be competition at all, Meng Huo's eyes will only look at you. ā
The agreement between her and Shen Jie is not that they cannot attack, but that they must be above board, and before Meng Shu makes a real choice, both of them are qualified to strengthen the offensive, of course, no one can use vicious means.
"Twenty-two years old...... None of us can have a relationship with him until he is twenty-two. Alice added: "As long as you don't have a relationship, you can seduce him as you wish, whatever it takes - as long as he chooses you when he can get married, that's your victory." ā
On the contrary, if Alice has been in love with Meng in the past few years, then she will be the winner.
āā¦ā¦ Good. Shen Jie's voice froze: "You remember, this is what you said!" She hung up the phone, and the relationship between the two women entered a new stage, although they would still be friends, but they no longer had to restrain themselves, and the era of harmonious play was over.
Alice was a little disappointed, but she didn't regret it, Shen Jie's advantage was too big at this stage, and she could only rely on distance to win.
However, the time was still too short, Meng Huo came to Tokyo this time to stay longer than the last time, but he originally planned to stay for five days, counting from the night Alice received Shen Jie, in two days, he would return to Suhua - Alice felt that the time was too short, and she had to find a reason to keep Meng Huo for a few more days.
And she found a reason for this - just this week, "Detective Conan" will air the last episode of the anime, and on the night of the anime, Sakura will hold an internal celebration dinner to reward the employees who have played a role in the animation production.
When Alice heard this, an idea came to her that she wanted to turn the internal celebration banquet into a banquet.
"The end of "Detective Conan" is a big event, how can it be enough to just be an internal celebration? It is better to take this opportunity to invite TV stations, cartoonists, some familiar media representatives and artists to hold a banquet, which can make it lively and increase our influence. ā
She said this to Takashima and his wife, and Takashima and his wife were immediately moved, and it was a good idea to turn the internal celebration banquet into a banquet.
By bringing together TV stations, familiar media, and artists, you can slowly build a network of people centered on Sakura. It is also beneficial for cartoonists to participate in this kind of event, not only to broaden their horizons, but also to meet useful people and development resources, which can build loyalty and motivate them to grow.
Takashima applauded on the spot, but holding the banquet meant that Meng had to appear ā and only when he did, the number of participants from television and other media would increase. This news was reported to Meng Huo, and Alice asked the Takashima couple to hide the fact that they were the ones who raised yƬ, which made Meng Huo think that the banquet was conceived by Eiji Takashima.
The banquet was not particularly huge, it would be contracted by a special hotel, and it would be held three days after Meng Huo had planned to leave. An extra three days is not too long, but it is not too short either.
"It's a holiday, and it's not in the way to go back a few days later, and I can completely catch up with the production of "Light Girl"." Alice said, "If you don't attend, we won't be able to hold this party, and our company has never held such a party in Tokyo, right?" ā
Meng Huo nodded, Phoenix Company is an old qualified company in Ninghai, and it has a wide range of contacts. On the manga island, many events have been held, and Su Hua's foundation has also stabilized - the most obscure is the Sakura Company, which has hardly held any events. This banquet is not a large-scale event, but it is good for Sakura to strengthen its influence.
āā¦ā¦ Yes. He agreed to attend the banquet and then readjusted his schedule.
However, after the banquet was confirmed, Meng Huo found out that he was in trouble - this banquet required dancing, but he couldn't. (To be continued......)
