âWhat a coincidence.â Jiang Xu nodded his head.
He glanced at Zhou Mengmeng with a scrutinizing look.
He couldnât tell if her innocence was genuine or just a facade.
However, Jiang Xu hadnât detected any pretense in her.
Perhaps she really was innocent?
But that was also possible.
Normally speaking, how cunning could an eighteen-year-old girl be, even if she were scheming?
It was unlikely that she could deceive someone as experienced as Jiang Xu, right?
Since Jiang Xiaoyan was no longer there, Jiang Xu didnât stay any longer on this side.
âBrother Xu~â Zhou Mengmeng called out to him.
âIs there something you need?â Jiang Xu looked indifferent.
At the same time, he felt somewhat cautious.
Did this woman have some other intentions towards him?
It wasnât that Jiang Xu was overly suspicious.
But with his current achievements, he was like a piece of Tang monkâs meat.
Everyone wanted a bite.
Therefore, Jiang Xu was especially cautious around women, particularly strangers.
He was afraid of being used unwittingly.
âWell, itâs like this,â Zhou Mengmeng seemed a bit embarrassed, âMy major is finance, but I am also very fond of drawing.â
âI know that your company has one of the nationâs top comic companies under its umbrella.â
âSo I wanted to ask, is your company hiring right now?â
âI thought, when Iâm free, I could take on some tasks.â
âIs that so?â Jiang Xuâs wariness eased slightly, and after thinking, he said, âI believe we are hiring.â
Although the country is vast and rich in resources.
Good, top-notch comic artists are not plentiful.
This thing really requires talent.
âThen do you think I could qualify?â Zhou Mengmengâs eyes lit up.
She immediately took a stack of papers out of her bag, âThese are some works Iâve done in my spare time.â
Jiang Xu took them and looked at them, his expression changed slightly.
Although not a professional in this field, he could tell the drawings were delicate and well-made.
After receiving Zhou Mengmengâs consent, he sent them to the current head of the comic department.
A moment laterâ
The department head sent a squirrel screaming emoji, and a voice message:
âAaah, boss, where is this person, tell me quickly!!!â
The tone was very excited.
Jiang Xu glanced at Zhou Mengmeng and typed a reply: How do these drawings look in your eyes?
Comic department head: Boss, this is the work of the Demon Queen, I recognized it immediately.
If she comes to our company, Iâm willing to be her dog!
Jiang Xu: â???â
His mind was filled with question marks.
What kind of ravenous language was this?
He hurriedly typed to ask: What is this Demon Queen?
Comic department head: [The Demon Queen is a comic genius who suddenly rose to fame two and a half years ago!
Her first published work âOut of Controlâ won the hearts of tens of millions of netizens online.
Her works are meticulous, exquisite, and creative.
To date, she has released over ten works, each one a blockbuster.
Once, a company offered her an annual salary of ten million, but she didnât accept.
She once said that the works she published were just for fun and not serious.
According to her and my own deductions,
the Demon Queenâs personal business value should be around two billion yuan net per year.
There are also some crazy fans who offer millions just for an autograph or a photo with the Demon Queen.
As for investment institutions, needless to say, they were madly searching for the Demon Queen in the past two years.
Just to give her money, to invest in her.
Boss, is the Demon Queen near you?
Please, you must recruit her into our company, I kneel before you.
âIf you bring her over, Iâd even call you daddy.â Jiang Xu was taken aback.
He looked at Zhou Mengmeng with some surprise.
He hadnât expected her to be so influential in the comic industry.
Her personal commercial value, two billion after taxes per year!
Just so you know, even the top artists under his company only make about eight million after taxes per year.
He showed the chat history to Zhou Mengmeng.
âYikes~â Zhou Mengmeng covered her mouth and blinked, âI already tried to pick the lesser works, but I didnât expect to still get recognized.â
After a pause, she shook her head and said, âWell then, never mind, I wonât go.â
âI just want to find an easy part-time job to earn a little money, I donât want to be too tired.â
Jiang Xu felt it was a real pity.
But since she had said so, Jiang Xu could no longer insist.
âWell, in that case, may I add you as a friend?â Jiang Xu asked.
He thought it would be good to explain to the head of the comic department.
After all, this head had a very annoying personality.
If he couldnât bring this âDemon Queenâ over, there would surely be endless complaints.
For the sake of his own peace, it was essential to get Zhou Mengmengâs contact.
Then he could pass it on to the department head.
âSure.â Zhou Mengmeng smiled generously and added Jiang Xu as a friend.
Then she waved at Jiang Xu, âI need to run some errands, but letâs chat when weâre both free.â
âSure.â Jiang Xu nodded slightly, âBe careful on your way.â
As Zhou Mengmeng turned around, the smile on her face faded.
A hint of triumph flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Xu was gradually falling into the trap she had laid.
Her tactics were very clever.
From beginning to end, she never explicitly mentioned adding Jiang Xuâs contact.
Moreover, she did not show even a hint of having any other intentions towards Jiang Xu.
It was just a little girlâs admiration for a successful man.
The measure was just right.
It wouldnât make anyone wary, nor would it be repulsive.
From the results, Zhou Mengmeng was currently at an advantage.
Andâ
Based on Zhou Mengmengâs understanding of human nature,
Jiang Xu would definitely go online to collect information about the âDemon Queenâ after he returned.
This had nothing to do with liking or not liking; it was purely human curiosity.
As long as Jiang Xu looked it up, it would deepen his impression of her.
This was where Zhou Mengmeng was clever.
It seemed like she hadnât done anything, yet it seemed like sheâd done everything.
Zhou Mengmengâs guess was correct.
After returning to the office, Jiang Xu opened his computer and typed âDemon Queenâ into the search bar.
Suddenly, a plethora of answers appeared.
In the comic industry, the âDemon Queenâ was incredibly popular.
In the eyes of her readers, her works were incomparable.
In the eyes of capitalists, she was a hot commodity.
The âDemon Queenâ covered a wide range of themes.
Youth, action, fairy tales, mystery adventure, eerie, and mythological.
No matter the theme, she could quickly trend and gain massive traffic and topicality.
Jiang Xu randomly opened one of her works.
It was a mythological comic.
Whether it was the composition, coloring, drawing style, or plot, all were flawless.
Jiang Xu was so engrossed that he didnât even notice An Nuonuo standing next to him at first.
âHoney, why are you suddenly reading comics?â An Nuonuo asked in confusion.
