Chapter 623: The Apartment
"You're so confident?"
Shen Jie was also surprised, she pulled Alice and asked her to sit down, and continued to ask: "But "Detective Conan" has cultivated an audience for several years, can you really let it go?" β
"Why can't you put it down, it's not really lost." Meng Shu shook his head: "The audience doesn't just watch an animation, at most, it is only temporarily lent to them, so don't worry about it, okay...... Do you want to have lunch at my place? β
Shen Jie rarely came back, and Meng Shu didn't want her to care about this kind of work problem.
He left the two of them to eat, and after lunch, Shen Jie's rest time was over, and she took Alice to say goodbye to Meng Shu, and her face seemed to be a little hesitant before leaving.
"Anything else?"
Meng Shu noticed her abnormality.
"Hmm......" Shen Jie frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head: "It's okay, I'll go first." β
She waved goodbye and left Meng Huo's apartment with Alice.
After walking out of the Phoenix Mansion, Alice asked strangely, "Why don't you ask him if he can do ventriloquism?" β
Shen Jie actually came back this time to confirm whether Meng Shu was good at ventriloquism, and Alice accompanied her to go over mainly for this matter, both of them were novel and curious about Meng Shu's new skill.
"I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to ask after seeing him." Shen Jie smiled and said, "I actually just want to meet him, and the ventriloquist problem is just an excuse." β
She uses ventriloquism and Sherlock as an excuse to convince Alice and her agent to transfer back to Comic Island on a stopover, but after seeing Meng Huo. She found herself just because she had been away for too long. I just want to see him.
Meet Meng Huo. Now Shen Jie is satisfied.
"Then I'll go first, I'll be back in a few days!"
She waved goodbye to Alice, and then walked over to the agent who was waiting to the side.
Alice stood at the door, watching the car carrying Shen Jie leave, and after the back of the vehicle completely disappeared at the end of the street, for some reason, a loneliness suddenly flashed in Alice's heart.
She looked back at the building, looking up at the direction of the Mond apartment in the building. It seems that Meng Shu can be seen watching Shen Jie leave there.
"Can't I?"
Alice frowned slightly, she had planned to ask Shen Jie about ventriloquism. Even if Shen Jie didn't ask, she was going to continue - but she found that things were not as simple as she imagined, and there was no place for her in Meng Shu's apartment.
As soon as they walked in, Alice noticed that she was more out of place than ever.
Meng Xu's gaze was occupied by Shen Jie, and he exuded a natural sense of repulsion. And Shen Jie was also quiet in the joy of seeing Meng Shu, they had been separated for several months, and Alice stayed by Meng Shu's side almost every day, but the situation worsened.
Alice had never felt so strongly before. Today was the first time, and the atmosphere suffocated her to the point where she didn't dare to bring up such a thing as 'ventriloquism'.
"......" the more I think about it. The more Alice felt that she was tragic, she laughed at herself slightly, but her eyes looking at Meng Huo's apartment became more and more persistent: "I still have time to ......"
For the first time, she was glad that Meng Shu was young, he was young, Shen Jie was also young, and the two had little time to spend togetherβAlice believed that she still had time: "But this is not possible now, the mode of action has to be changed......
It seemed that she was aware of Meng Shu's change, and Alice was a little vigilant in her heart, although it was still a long time, she couldn't go on like this.
Shen Jie will be back soon, but before she returns, Meng Huo will leave for Tokyo early - which is why Shen Jie is here today, she and Meng Huo have been staggered in recent months, and the next time they meet may have to wait until the carnival on Manga Island.
Alice seized the opportunity to travel to the Far East one day before Meng left for Tokyo.
"There is an animation company in Yokohama that wants to sign a long-term partnership agreement with our office to provide voice actors, so I have to go to their company." Alice went to the Far East for work, and Meng Huo naturally didn't think much about it.
In the evening of the next day, Meng arrived at the Tokyo airport.
"Good evening, President!"
This time, there were no reporters, so the only thing sent by the Sakura Company to greet him was a sedan and two people, and after they picked up Meng Huo at the airport, they took him directly to the hotel - no, the route is a little familiar.
"Where am I staying this time?" Meng Shu couldn't help but ask, his memory was very good: "I remember this road, and the apartment I used to live in was over there...... But the hotel you booked isn't over there, is it? β
In the days when he had just bought Sakura, he lived in an upscale apartment complex in Tokyo. Originally, Sakura also helped him keep the right to use the apartment, but as time passed, Meng Yu came to Tokyo only a handful of times, and the rent of that apartment was very expensive, and he did not renew the contract after it expired.
"We're not going to the hotel, president." An employee who greeted Meng Shu smiled: "We are going to the apartment you rented before, and the vice president said that you like it very much, and Miss Alice came over today, and she simply bought the apartment, and you live there tonight." β
"......" Meng Shu was stunned: "Alice? How did she end up here? Didn't she go to Yokohama? β
"Yokohama is only half an hour away from Tokyo!" The employee explained, "The vice president said that Miss Alice had never been to Sakura before, and after hearing that she was nearby on a business trip, he took the initiative to invite her to come and have a look. β
"And what about her now?" Meng Shu frowned, he felt that something was wrong, Alice was obviously buying a house in Tokyo for him - why did she have nothing to do?
"Miss Alice has gone back to Yokohama." The employee continued: "She said she would come back tomorrow when she was done. "I'll finish it tomorrow - it looks like Alice's work isn't done yet, and Meng Yu will have to wait a day to inquire about the situation.
When I came to the apartment, the environment in the apartment was no different from when Meng Shu left.
"The rent here is so expensive that it seems like no one has lived there since the president left...... Miss Alice was able to buy it because it had recently been sold privately. β
Meng Shu looked at the apartment with some nostalgia, it is very close to the cherry blossom company, and it is usually convenient. After a brief moment of surprise, Meng decided to accept Alice's kindness - let's give her back the money next time.
This amount of money is not a problem for Meng Shu, I used to think it was unnecessary, but now that I think about it, it is not bad to have a fixed place to live in Tokyo, and there is no reason to be too picky. (To be continued......)
