Chapter 22 Annual Meeting (1)
"Did you go to the annual meeting held by the magazine?" Chen Ze boarded his TT on his mobile phone and said, "The person who chatted with him was the heart of time."
Yesterday, Chen Ze received a call from Lin Lan, inviting him to attend the annual meeting of the New Animation Magazine. It was already the end of the year. Lin Lan specially held this annual meeting to unite the feelings of all parties and better take the magazine further next year.
Chen Ze is now the club of the New Animation Magazine and is also the most popular cartoonist. Of course, Lin Lan invited Chen Ze to attend the annual meeting as soon as possible.
"Go, why not? You, Master Chen, are all going, of course, how can I not give face to my little cartoonist?" The Heart of Time sent the other end.
"Tsk!" Chen Ze sent a contemptuous expression, "I don't know who it was last time, so I agreed to come and rent a house for me. At the end of the matter, I put my pigeons on it."
"Hehe, I happened to have something urgent last time, I will definitely go this time." Time Heart said, "And, our boss Lin Lan is going to show up this time, so I have to go even more. I heard that she is a beauty!"
"Beauty? Is there a beautiful girl who speaks so well?"
Chen Ze didn't believe in the words of the Heart of Time. In his impression, the sweet and moving voices usually look bad. On the contrary, the voices are hoarse and unpleasant, and many of them are beauties. This is called, no one is perfect.
Chen Ze heard Lin Lan's voice on the phone so many times, as gentle and charming as the cries of a hundred birds and yellow orioles. If such a voice is still a beauty, especially the boss of a magazine, it will make others live.
Therefore, Chen Ze did not believe in the words of the Heart of Time.
"If you don't believe it, we can make a bet. If Lin Lan is really a beauty, then you have to obey me unconditionally. If I lose, then I will obey you unconditionally. What's the matter?" said Shi Guang's heart.
Chen Ze thought about it. Although the tone of Time Heart was so certain, he must be cheating himself. So Chen Ze happily pressed the word "Agree" and sent it over.
After the chat with the Heart of Time, Chen Ze started painting again. The number of updates in this world is larger than the time and space in the past, and it is the Chinese New Year again. Recently, he has not saved many manuscripts, and Chen Ze is worried that he will have something to do and will cause the interruption, so now he has time to draw comics.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Shortly after he started writing, his door was suddenly knocked. Chen Ze opened it and saw a pretty woman standing outside, which was Zhang Jingning.
"Chen Ze, are you in trouble now? I want to ask you for help."
Zhang Jingning has been living at home recently, and the two often meet outside. After a while, they are already very familiar with each other.
Is there anything wrong with Chen Ze? Yes, he also wants to draw a draft. But since he is a beauty asking for help, even if there are big things, he has to leave them until tomorrow.
"It's okay!" Chen Ze shook his head.
"That's great!" After Zhang Jingning received Chen Ze's answer, she showed a joyful expression on her face, "Then come to my house quickly. My faucet is broken. Neither my mother nor I can repair this. My father is not at home at this time, and the repair master is not at work today."
"No problem, I'll come right away and I'll give it to me if I fix the faucet."
Chen Ze nodded. Although he was an otaku in his previous life, he was also a small repairman when he was a child. He was very interested in faucets, light bulbs, cash registers, TVs, etc., and many of them were removed and repaired by him.
So for Chen Ze, repairing a faucet is completely a slight idea.
Chen Ze packed up the manuscript he drew and rushed to Zhang Jingning's house. Her house was not far away, just on the fifth floor of the opposite building. However, this was the first time Chen Ze entered Zhang Jingning's house. He looked around curiously.
The decoration is very good. Although it is not a luxurious decoration, it has a very lifelike atmosphere. It seems that Zhang Jingning's family should be of the middle class.
Zhang Jingning's mother is cooking in the kitchen now. Chen Ze went in and said hello to her, and then led her down to the bathroom under Zhang Jingning.
"Look, this faucet is broken. From the beginning, the water can't stop." Zhang Jingning pointed to the faucet on the toilet table and said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze walked over and checked. He tried to turn the switch, but the switch turned smoothly 360 degrees.
"It should be the faucet switch that has slippers." Chen Ze thought.
"This is a small problem, it should be a slippery wire. Just change the faucet switch, and there will be no problem. By the way, do you have it...?"
Chen Ze explained to Zhang Jingning beside him and found tools around him. As a result, he accidentally found an underwear on the wall, a fiery red underwear.
"ah!"
Zhang Jingning was wondering why Chen Ze stopped talking. He followed his eyes and found out what he was looking at.
"No viewing."
She hurried over and put away the underwear. She changed it last night. She forgot to put it away, but Chen Ze saw it.
Zhang Jingning's face was blushing, as if she was about to have a fever. She cursed herself in her heart, why did she forget to put it away? How could such private things be seen by others?
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere seemed quite awkward for a moment.
In the end, Chen Ze broke the embarrassment and coughed, "Jingning, do you have any extra faucets and wrenches in your house? I need these two things to fix them."
“Some, some.”
Zhang Jingning nodded quickly and walked out. The speed was so fast that it made people feel like she was running.
"I can't see it normally, but I didn't expect it to be quite good." Chen Ze looked at Zhang Jingning's back and thought to himself. Although he was a little embarrassed just now, he was a man after all. In fact, he felt more excited at this time.
Zhang Jingning came back for a long time, but her face turned red when she came back. It seemed that she had not only looked for tools, but also calmed down her mood.
"This is the faucet and wrench you want!" Zhang Jingning handed over the tool Chen Ze wanted.
Chen Ze is not a very lustful person either. Although he was a little excited just now, he quickly threw it behind. He took Zhang Jingning's tools and quickly repaired the faucet.
After doing this, Chen Ze said goodbye to Zhang Jingning. At this time, Zhang Jingning's mother, Aunt Tian, who rented a house to Chen Ze, walked out with a plate.
"Xiao Chen, why are you going back so early? Just staying here for supper is also a reward for your help to repair the faucet."
Aunt Tian was very enthusiastic and must keep Chen Ze for dinner. There was no way, so Chen Ze had to stay.
"Xiao Chen, I heard you are a cartoonist?" Aunt Tian asked Chen Ze at the dinner table.
"Yes!" Chen Ze nodded.
"What's going on when drawing comics now? Are you tired and your income good?" Aunt Tian seemed to be interested in the profession of cartoonist and kept asking Chen Ze.
"It's very tired!" Chen Ze thought for a while and said, "Every day, you have to conceive scenes, draw, color, etc., and pay attention to the information feedback from readers. After all, it's a commercial society now, and comics must be sold with readers."
Chen Ze's words are the truth. Although he draws comics far more easily than others, he actually has to draw every day. After all, the island comics in his previous life are somewhat different from the world view of this world, and many things must be changed.
Many cartoonists who have come to Chen Ze's popularity will ask their assistants to reduce their workload. However, Chen Ze was afraid that the secret of his rebirth would be discovered and he never dared to find an assistant, so all the comics were completed independently by himself, so of course he would be very tired.
"Look, I said that the cartoonist is very tired. You still have to draw comics if you don't listen to me. Girls just need to find a suitable person to marry. I have never heard of a saying that "better than marrying" is better. Daughter, let's not think about drawing comics."
Aunt Tian heard Chen Ze's words and turned her head to say to Zhang Jingning beside her.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ze remembered that Zhang Jingning really wanted to be a cartoonist. She had also seen the paintings she drew, and she was quite talented and might become famous as a cartoonist.
But it seems that Aunt Tian seems to object to her drawing comics.
"Mom, I've told you a long time ago that I'm so old and I'll take it myself in the future." Zhang Jingning seemed to have heard Aunt Tian say such things too much and said.
"No matter you, you are my daughter, no matter who you and I care about? I shouldn't have let you learn any art at the beginning. It's your father's spoiled you, what kind of cartoonist you are!" Aunt Tian said angrily.
"Anyway, I want to be a cartoonist, whether you agree or not!" Zhang Jingning said, his tone very firm.
Her performance reminded Chen Ze of herself. She wanted to be a cartoonist in her life. She had a big fight with her parents about this. Now both parties have not yet contacted each other, and it has been nearly a year since.
"I don't know how my parents are doing now?" Chen Ze thought to himself.
Since he dropped out of college, he felt that what his parents said was right. The road of cartoonists is very difficult to walk. If he hadn't been a reborn person, he would have never been able to reach his current height.
Thinking of this, Chen Ze suddenly wanted to go back to meet his parents: "I decided to go home for the Chinese New Year this year!"
Chapter completed!
