The boss insisted that I ran with the ball

Contrary to Cheng Zhi's expectations, this comic created by Xie Qiansu received a lot of praise.

The editor also just joined the job not long ago, so he couldn't suppress his excitement, so he sent Cheng Zhi a screenshot of the reader's evaluation.

[Although this soul-swapping meme is a bit common, Mrs. Orange Juice draws it so sweetly!I believe in love again. 】

[Is Mrs. Orange Juice really a newcomer?This painting style is too beautiful 8, I am i. 】

[It's really sweet, woo woo, I never thought that one day I would watch Ba Zong manga so sincerely, what should I do if I'm a little ashamed! 】

Cheng Zhi watched a bunch of "teenage girl's heart exploded" comments, sweating silently.To be honest, all the sweet and sweet plots that are praised come from Xie Qiansuo's love brain.

Although a certain overlord was determined to direct him to draw a cheap manga, but after being resisted by Cheng Zhi, Xie Qiansu returned to the sweet manga plot.It has to be said that those cramming-style readings of Jinjiang Wen infinitely broadened Xie Qiansu's horizons, making up love plots with ease, and it's no wonder readers shouted "My wife is too good at it."

Cheng Zhi smiled, and forwarded the screenshot sent to him by the editor to the real "wife" Xie Qiansu.

Xie Qiansu was very pleasantly surprised: [I didn't expect my plot to be so well received, why don't we play the next plot again tonight? 】

Cheng Zhi sent him an emoji of Mao Mao shaking his head.

Since the two of them had close contact again that day, Xie Qiansuo seemed to have opened the door to a new world.Cheng Zhi knew this sentence without thinking, Xie Qianshou must be inviting him to ghs again.

Orange juice: [Backache. 】

It's okay to accompany Xie Qiansu for a few days, and then he will continue to work himself, which is really a bit unbearable.

The girl here is smooth sailing, and the new editor looks like an inexperienced little girl who has not yet experienced the beating of being dragged by the cartoonist under her hand, and her attitude towards Cheng Zhi is really good, which makes Cheng Zhi a little reluctant to leave.

So when he received a call from Zhou Sha who had been left behind by him, Cheng Zhi himself was completely stunned.

He answered the phone ignorantly, and said cautiously: "Sister Zhou, why are you looking for me when you have time?"

Zhou Sha smiled, how could she not guess what Cheng Zhi was thinking.

"Long time no see, are you going to forget me?"

Cheng Zhi thought he was right, but his mouth automatically burst into laughter: "Hahaha, how is that possible! I think about Sister Zhou every day, but I just can't bear to bother you with work and disturb you and your family's New Year's Eve."

Seeing that "you" has been said, it shows how guilty Cheng Zhi is.

Zhou Sha said with a smile: "Since you miss me so much, then you have started to work now, why don't you contact me. How is the preparation of the new manga?"

Cheng Zhi couldn't be perfunctory this time, so he had to say honestly: "I'm sorry, sister Zhou, I'm not prepared."

Now if he opens another manga, he will officially fall into the double release situation.Cheng Zhi only has two hands, and he can't handle even one, let alone double the workload.

And he doesn't plan to find an assistant for this Tanmei manga, so he has really reached his limit.

Zhou Sha was a little surprised by his confession: "I know, it's just Cheng Zhi, you really don't plan to come back? Although "Yuzhen" is indeed very popular, are you going to stop here?"

In fact, Zhou Sha didn't have to urge Cheng Zhi to start a new one. As a half-elder, she was mainly worried that Cheng Zhi would stop writing from now on.

Cheng Zhi said frankly: "Sister Zhou, I really have no inspiration."

Zhou Sha sighed: "There are many newcomers in the comics industry. I am worried that you will quit for a long time, which will have a great impact on popularity. I know you are a person who wants to tell stories, but it is really difficult to maintain your state..."

Cheng Zhi smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, don't worry, I'm actually drawing a new series. It's just that the subject matter is not suitable for our magazine."

Zhou Sha asked in surprise, "What are you painting?"

According to Cheng Zhi's previous style, there is no reason to draw subjects that their magazines do not accept.

The most important thing is that the subject matter of Weekly Shonen is actually quite wide.Zhou Sha racked her brains to figure out which topics were not suitable for their magazine, but in the end she could only think of one: women.

Cheng Zhi can draw this kind of painting?Zhou Sha definitely didn't believe it.

But Zhou Sha didn't think that Cheng Zhihui would still draw detective reasoning, but switched to another magazine.One is because she has known Cheng Zhi for many years, and she believes that Cheng Zhi will not be the kind of person who runs away without notifying her; second, Leap Youth Weekly is indeed the best platform of its kind in the industry.

Then Zhou Sha saw what Cheng Zhi said was simply incomprehensible.

She could only doubt: "Don't you just make up such nonsense to fool me?"

Cheng Zhi said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, don't worry, it's really not. Maybe you will know later?"

After all, Leap Girls Manga and Shonen Weekly are both one family.

Zhou Sha was skeptical: "Forget it. In fact, as long as you keep painting, I can rest assured."

What she fears the most is to let the bottleneck ruin Cheng Zhi's desire to paint.Since Cheng Zhi denied it, she didn't worry about it anymore.Maybe when will we really see a teenage cartoonist born?

Zhou Sha thought comfortingly, and laughed out loud.A girl manga artist or something really doesn't fit Cheng Zhi's character design too well.

***

In the evening, Cheng Zhi and Xie Qiansuo reunited at home.

Aunt Zhao has been bringing yogurt back to Xie's house for more than a week, but Xie's father and mother seem to have enjoyed the infinite milk baby fun, and now she insists on not letting him go, with a firm attitude.

As a result, the problem of food for the two of them has never been settled.

Xie Qiansuo used various methods to deliver food from various restaurants, but he would get tired of eating like this every day.

So now he is facing a pile of fresh ingredients in the kitchen, rubbing his hands together, as if preparing it by himself.

Cheng Zhi said rationally, "You can't."

Xie Qiansuo also looked calm: "I think so too."

Cheng Zhi: "Then it's better to take out..."

Xie Qiansu solemnly put his arm on Cheng Zhi's shoulder: "Although so, practice makes people progress. If I retreat because of one failure, then I will never learn to cook in my life."

Cheng Zhi: "But, as a CEO, why do you want to learn how to cook?"

Xie Qiansu: "I just want to master one more skill."

Cheng Zhi poured cold water on him: "Although you insist on practicing to make people improve, I am still a veteran in the kitchen. To be honest, the first dish I cooked may be the pinnacle of my culinary career."

Xie Qiansu shook his head and took out a tablet: "I decided to follow the tutorial this time."

Seeing that he was so determined to die, Cheng Zhi didn't intend to continue to stop him, and just waited for the tragedy in Jinjiang to repeat itself.

But Xie Qiansuo didn't drive him out of the kitchen this time, instead, he put a new apron on Cheng Zhi's body: "You do it."

Cheng Zhi laughed and said, "As a novice at your level, you can still say something and ask me to help?"

The dishes he cooks can be eaten anyway, okay?

Xie Qiansu didn't care, and put the egg beater into Cheng Zhi's hand: "I decided to make the simplest steamed eggs first."

Cheng Zhi thought, this shouldn't go wrong.So he obediently took the whisk and the bowl and started stirring.

Just after a few stirs, I felt a person coming up from my back.

Xie Qiansu hugged Cheng Zhi tightly, put his arms around him, and held Cheng Zhi's stirring hand.

Cheng Zhi stopped his hands, and quickly said with disgust: "What are you doing?"

Xie Qiansu smiled: "I'm afraid you will be tired."

Cheng Zhi: "Then you fight." He wanted to get out of Xie Qiansu's arms shortly.

Xie Qiansu circled him: "Cooking is a boring thing, but I want to make it interesting."

Cheng Zhi finally understands that cooking is just a cover, this is Xie Qiansu's real purpose!

He ruthlessly exposed Xie Qiansuo's lie: "Impossible, cooking will never be fun."

Xie Qiansu took Cheng Zhi's hand and started to move slowly: "How could it be?"

Cheng Zhi's face was numb, and he let Xie Qiansou lead him to beat the egg stiffly.

They were too close, so close that the faint orange fragrance enveloped Cheng Zhi's whole body.

The two of them are both young and vigorous, and at such a close distance, it is very easy for some accidents to happen.

When Cheng Zhi sensed something was wrong, he scolded: "Go away!"

He clearly rejected Xie Qiansu on WeChat just now.

Xie Qiansu walked away obediently, and put the seasoned egg liquid into the steamer.

Then approached again, and said softly: "Are you really going away? This is a kitchen scene. Aunt Zhao will never have another chance when she comes back."

Cheng Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

Xie Qiansu immediately caught a trace of hesitation on Cheng Zhi's face.

Next, without any words, he pushed Cheng Zhi onto the cooking table.

……

When he was confused, a question suddenly popped up in Cheng Zhi's mind.

He didn't choose to evade, but asked incoherently: "Xie Qiansu, you... Did you read something, a novel?"

Kitchen play?

Xie Qiansu didn't really want to answer, and continued to do what he was supposed to do.

It wasn't until everything was over that he looked at the limp Cheng Zhi and smiled, and announced a name: ""The Little Wife Is the Master Chef"."

Cheng Zhi didn't have the strength to respond, he just pulled out a "I should have understood" smile.

He knew that Xie Qiansu couldn't come up with something on a whim!

Now that his waist is sore and his legs are weak, he directed Xie Qiansuo to clean up the kitchen.It's been a long time since their usual dinner time, and the two of them can't help but feel a little hungry after working hard.

At this moment, Cheng Zhi seemed to think of something: "Did we forget something?"

Xie Qiansu: "Really?"

Then the two stared at the same time, looking at the steamer together.

The steamed egg is still inside!

But I don't know how long it has been.

Xie Qiansu immediately turned off the fire, then wrapped his hands in a rag with his eyes closed, and opened the lid of the steamer.

Cheng Zhi: "Open your eyes! Be careful of burning."

Xie Qiansu: "No, I can't bear to face reality."

He didn't want to see the miserable state of this bowl of steamed eggs.

Cheng Zhi had a little luck: "Actually, steamed eggs are hard to break, so take it out and have a look."

Xie Qiansu opened his eyes under Cheng Zhi's encouragement.

Then I saw a dark bowl of things.

Xie Qiansu: "Cheng Zhi, actually what we put in wasn't steamed eggs, right? It was black sesame paste?"

Cheng Zhi looked at the bowl of unidentified objects brought up, he couldn't believe it.

Finally, he took a chopstick and poked lightly on the solid bowl.

OK, it's hard.

Xie Qiansu: "Maybe it's... black sesame cake."

Cheng Zhi threw away the chopsticks and pleaded, "Xie Qiansu, promise me to stay away from the kitchen in the future?"

Xie Qiansu returned the same expression: "I hope you too."

The kitchen killer is as scary as it gets.
