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

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

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

She invited Alice into the car, and there were only two of them in the car. Alice's identity was very important in the Phoenix Company, and she was Takashima Kako's immediate boss, Takashima Takako would naturally not neglect. Phoenix has a large number of senior women, and she is also happy to have a good relationship with these same-sex people,

Takashima Takako drove Alice to dinner, and on the way asked her why she suddenly changed her itinerary. Alice originally planned to use the power of Sakura Company to investigate the truth behind "The Land of Ice and Fire", so naturally she did not conceal the truth. She told the truth about it-of course, she concealed the relationship between her and her biological father. Except for doubt.

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

"Of course I can't sign it. How can I sign this kind of contract? And I have put things off for the time being, and I don't plan to go back." Alice said unhappily, "The people who came with me will spend the night in Yokohama tonight. They will Come here, please send someone to pick it up!"

She temporarily decided to come back early, but the hotel and room in Yokohama are all set, and other employees will stay there for one night tonight.

"That's okay." Takashima Takako agreed, and the receptionist was very simple: "But since you suspect that Mr. Matsudo is a liar. Then just give up the matter. Why bother to investigate the truth? Is the original manuscript of "Land of Ice and Fire" really that good?"

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

Phoenix currently has hundreds of contracted cartoonists. The concept of the top five is amazing, although the media and society agree that He Xi is the cornerstone of Phoenix. But Alice knew very well that Meng Huo had been controlling the number of comics he had, leaving more opportunities to other cartoonists.

Cultivating more and more popular cartoonists is the cornerstone of Phoenix's long-term development-this is Meng Huo's consistent proposition, he cares more about the cultivation of newcomer cartoonists than others. In recent years, Phoenix's comic magazine sales and the number of cartoonists have grown substantially. Although there are not many reports, Phoenix has already started to catch up with Zhongxia Company from the basics.

A cartoonist with the potential to rank in the top five. Alice will naturally not miss it.

Takashima Takako was shocked: "Top five? No, are you too optimistic about him!"

If a cartoonist can be ranked in the top five of the entire Phoenix Company, then his ranking in China will not be lower than fifteen. There is no such cartoonist in the extreme east. But Takashima Takako remembers that one of the most powerful cartoonists in the Far East has launched a new work. At that time, there were rumors that he might hop to Zhongxia Company, Takashima Takako and Takashima Eiji were shocked, and the two immediately went to visit him together.

The status of an excellent cartoonist has become more and more popular in recent years, and there are people everywhere. If Alice's words are true, Takashima Takako is not willing to miss this person.

"I'm still conservative." Alice frowned. "I heard that the man has other manuscripts. Each one is very good. I haven't read it. If it is true. And those comics are all from the same person. If it is, I think it should be no problem to rank in the top three."

"The first three?" Takashima Takako drove to a traffic intersection and almost forgot to brake at a red light: "Then can he compare with Miss Qin Ya?"

"En. It's totally possible."

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 compose stories is too low. And Qin Ya can be ranked second in Phoenix Company for this reason: because she can draw and compose stories for comics-not many people in Zhongxia Company can do this. The best comics in Zhongxia are still adapted. And the novelist is mainly as a consultant.

The biggest feature of "The Land of Ice and Fire" is that the story is very good, and it is original. It's very novel and interesting, and the paintings are good. This work makes Alice feel the same as Meng Huo and Qin Ya. It is a story born for comics, and even the potential of a comic artist may surpass Qin Ya.

Qin Ya is still in the transition period. Her work style still has a strong girlish taste, which is biased towards the niche. Whether the transformation can be successful in meeting the preferences of most people is still unknown.

However, the style of "The Land of Ice and Fire" is not niche, and the subject matter looks very strange, but the story does not favor either male readers or female readers. Instead, it tells epic stories in a calm narrative style, with various genders. The roles of all races are very attractive-the author is the master of the overall situation.

Alice didn't even find out from the story whether the author was a male or a female, which surprised her. She thought the author had the potential to become a trumpet.

"Listening to you, I will help with this matter."

Takashima Takako was aroused. She parked her car outside a restaurant, and then took Alice in to eat some food. In the middle, she continued to ask how to investigate: "Should we investigate openly or secretly, right? Avoid his eyes and ears? If he has no connections here, can he use some irregular means?"

Investigating a rich man is not easy, but a rich man from outside, Takashima Takako hinted that some informal methods could be used.

Alice was very interested. She knew that the fastest investigation was undoubtedly going dark, and it happened to teach the man a lesson. But on the other hand, maybe it's been a long time with Meng Huo, Alice is always a bit grudged in her heart, if Meng Huo learns about this kind of thing, will he think she is too dark?

"..." After thinking about it, Alice made an intermediate solution: "It's better to be careful, don't do nothing, just investigate quietly, don't let him find out... If you still can't get results for a month or two , Then I will consider other options."

Takashima Takako nodded: "I will make arrangements tomorrow, but..." She hesitated for a moment: "What about the president? Do you want to tell him about the manga artist?"

"No!" Alice yelled in denial immediately, her face was slightly cold, this matter must not be let Meng Huo know about this, especially the existence of that man, Alice did not want Meng Huo to know anything about him—— This is what she hates most.

Takashima Takako was taken aback by her actions: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay..." Alice calmed down, and then explained, "Meng Huo has been responsible for too much work these days, and now it's a critical period in the production of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". There is no need to disturb him with such trivial things. , It’s not too late for us to find out the cartoonist before telling him."

"That's right..." Takashima Takako thought it too, and then stopped talking about this topic.

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

"Where are you staying tonight? There are four hotels around here, I suggest..."

"No, you take me to Menghuo's place." Alice smiled: "His apartment is big enough."

Takashima Takako stagnated, and then continued to move forward casually: "Did the president agree?"

"Well, I asked him on the train." Alice smiled: "And it's where I bought it. It's okay to stay for a few nights, right?"

"indeed."

Takashima Takashima showed a smile on his face, but he was guessing the relationship between Alice and Meng Huo: Although there are bodyguards, the men and women live together, and the objects are Alice and He Xi, which always makes people associate. The biggest secret gossip of the Phoenix executives is Meng Huo's emotional belonging, even divided into many factions.

Alice and Meng Huo have been in contact for the longest time. Coupled with her unusual status in the company, she is the most suspicious faction within. Many people suspect that Meng Huo and Alice made a marriage contract a few years ago, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Jing will sell his equity to him—because sooner or later, they are all one family.

But of course these are all gossip rumors. Even if she was curious, Takashima Takako didn't ask. She put the Alice ribbon under Menghuo's apartment and waved goodbye to her. Alice walked into the building, and then took the elevator to the door of the apartment. She adjusted her hair slightly, and was about to take out the key to open the door, but the door suddenly opened.

"Miss Alice, Master has been waiting for you for a long time~www.ltnovel.com~ The bodyguard led her in, and Alice found Meng Huozheng sitting on the sofa reading a book alone, so she sat down too.

"The contract is not signed?" Meng Huo did not look up, but his voice was a little cold.

Alice understood his reason for indifference. She used a bit of strong language when she proposed to live in the apartment on the train. Sensitive Meng Huo seemed to notice that she was deliberately approaching him.

"Yes, no signing." Alice felt a sense of melancholy in her heart, but she replied with a smile, "I'm going to live here for a few days."

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

"Is there?" Alice touched her face. Her face was indeed tight. This tension actually started when she saw the man in the afternoon. However, Alice is usually a calm type. It's not obvious at all. She didn't care too much, she didn't expect Meng Huo to see it through at a glance.

She suddenly felt that it didn’t matter, no matter how melancholy or father, she couldn’t interrupt her actions towards the person in front of her, (to be continued)
