Looking at Zhang Jingning's smiling face, Chen Ze suddenly understood everything.
No wonder she said that she would help him rent a house. When he arrived, she didn't appear, but he still rented a house!
No wonder she had asked him if he was a manga artist, but never asked which manga he drew!
No wonder he felt that the style of her manga was so familiar when he saw it.
It turned out that Zhang Jingning was the Heart of Time.
"Why did you lie to me?" Chen Ze whispered in Zhang Jingning's ear.
"What did I lie to you about?" Zhang Jingning was still smiling. She seemed to be very happy about Chen Ze's surprise.
Chen Ze was immediately choked by Zhang Jingning's words. Yes, she was not lying to him. She had never said that she was a man. It was just that he was confused by her past words.
Now that she thought about the manga she drew in Manke Weekly, the faint warmth and the grasp of delicate emotions revealed were definitely not something a male artist could draw.
At that time, she thought that he was born with a heart of glass. It turned out that she was actually a woman.
"Do you still remember the bet we made yesterday?”Zhang Jingning whispered.
"I remember!" Chen Ze replied.
"That's good!" Zhang Jingning smiled, as if her plan had succeeded." Sister Lin, here. Chen Ze is here."”She waved her hand and shouted at Chen Ze's back.
Chen Ze turned around and saw a beautiful figure.
She was a very beautiful woman, unlike Zhang Jingning's innocent girl-next-door. Her aura was extremely strong, and her fiery red lipstick was very tempting. Dressed in a black evening gown with a crystal necklace, it completely wrapped around her voluptuous figure and made her look curvaceous.
The two differences of conservativeness and sexiness combined into one, and the entire temperament was natural.
"This top-grade mature sister is Lin Lan?"
Seeing this exquisite beauty walking towards him, Chen Ze's mind immediately reflected this thought.、
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Lin Lan. On behalf of the new animation magazine, I welcome you to the annual meeting.”The exquisite beauty in front of him spoke. Her voice was as clear as an oriole. It was the voice that usually spoke to Chen Ze.
"It really is her!"
Chen Ze's eyes widened. This didn't make sense. How could she be so perfect, have a nice voice, be so beautiful, and be the boss of a magazine agency? God was too biased towards her.
What Chen Ze didn't know was that the others had the same opinion of him. He was young, and his manga had such good sales in such a short time. Most people would never be able to catch up to him in their lifetime. The most important thing was that he was handsome. How could the other cartoonists live?
"Mr. Chen, please take a seat."
Lin Lan seemed to have noticed Chen Ze's surprise. She smiled and said to Chen Ze.
"You look very surprised. Are you stunned by Sister Lin?”After Chen Ze sat down and Lin Lan went to greet the other cartoonists, Zhang Jingning whispered into his ear.
"No!" Chen Ze immediately denied it. He was indeed stunned just now. However, this was mainly because it was too different from what he had imagined before. In addition, he was surprised that Zhang Jingning's identity had been revealed just now.
"Don't try to lie to me. You're just stunned.”Zhang Jingning smiled." Don't forget that you have to promise me one thing unconditionally!”
"What is it?" Chen Ze asked. He was not the kind of person who could deny it. Especially now that the Heart of Time had become Zhang Jingning, he couldn't deny it.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it in the future!”
Zhang Jingning's words sounded familiar to Chen Ze. Could it be that she had seen Old Master Jin's Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre? Her tone was exactly the same as Zhao Min. But that was not right. There was no such thing as Elder Jin in this world!
"Alright then, tell me when you've thought it through.”Chen Ze nodded.
At this time, the new animation magazine's annual meeting officially began. Lin Lan held a glass of red wine and walked up to the stage to give a speech.
"Welcome to our annual meeting. This year is the first year of our magazine agency's establishment, and it's also a very crucial year. This year, the sales volume of our magazine has risen from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of copies per issue. At the highest point, we broke the 1 million copies mark. This is all the credit of all the cartoonists and staff members present. Let me toast to everyone here."
As she spoke, Lin Lan domineeringly downed the red wine in her glass. The people below also finished their drinks noisily. Everyone was a man, and when faced with a toast from a beauty like Lin Lan, of course, no one could admit defeat.
Chen Ze also finished the wine in his glass in one go.
"This second cup of wine is to all the painters present, especially Chen Ze. When our magazine was banned, they didn't give up on us and continued to serialize our magazine online. In the end, our magazine found a way out. I, Lin Lan, am here. Thank you, everyone.”
Lin Lan was indeed a businessman. The magazine was banned because of Chen Ze's " Slam Dunk," but she took all the responsibility. In this way, it had the effect of buying people's hearts.
As expected, when the cartoonists heard Lin Lan's words, they all patted their chests and said,""Chief editor, what are you saying? This new animation magazine is not just your own magazine, it is also our home. Of course, we have to work together to protect it.”
When Lin Lan heard this, she smiled and said,""Thank you for your understanding. For this third glass of wine, I wish everyone a booming sales in the coming year, and that everyone can realize their wishes!”
As she spoke, she drank another glass. Lin Lan drank three glasses of red wine in a few minutes. She didn't look like a person who could drink very much. After drinking three glasses, her entire body was flushed red, adding three more seductive colors to her white skin.
Lin Lan probably knew that she was a little drunk. After three glasses of wine, she got off the stage and went to the guest room at the back to rest. At this time, the annual banquet had just begun.
As the saying goes, the best place for Chinese people to get closer was at the wine table. The atmosphere at the dining table, which was still a little reserved just a moment ago, suddenly became lively.
The people around Chen Ze also started hitting on him. He knew that many people wanted him to help promote his work in Slam Dunk, but they were all from the same magazine, so they would help him if they could.
Just like that, the banquet passed amidst everyone's lively voices!
"Mr. Chen, our chief editor has something to discuss with you.”
When the banquet was about to end, a staff member of the new animation magazine agency walked up to Chen Ze and said. Although his voice was very soft, everyone present still heard it.
Everyone looked at Chen Ze enviously. Which man wouldn't want to talk to such a beautiful woman alone, especially when she was drunk?
However, they also knew that Chen Ze was different from them. He was a newly promoted super-popular mangaka. Even the female boss had to rely on him to maintain the magazine company. How could they compare to him?
Thinking of this, they were a little dejected. However, he was more curious about Lin Lan's purpose in looking for Chen Ze. What could it be now? Could it be?
They looked at Chen Ze ambiguously.
"Looking for me?" Chen Ze did not notice the change in the gazes of the people around him as he asked.
"Yes, the chief editor is waiting for you in the guest room at the back!”The staff member replied.
"Alright then!"
Chen Ze nodded and followed the staff over. Before he left, he realized that the people around him were looking at him ambiguously. Zhang Jingning also looked like she was watching a good show.
However, Chen Ze felt that there was a hint of resentment in the depths of her eyes!
