Liang Zhirou said firmly, "I want to become the most amazing painter in the country!"

"I didn't realize you had such lofty ambitions."

Just as Chen Lu was somewhat surprised, the girl lowered her head again, fidgeted with her fingers, and muttered softly, "Then I'll go help out at your company..."

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, "Then I need to hurry up and make Polaris big enough to accommodate a god like you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed glass door of the reception room was slowly pushed open.

A girl with a ponytail and large black-rimmed glasses walked towards me, looking annoyed and muttering to herself, "Mom! Can you please stop talking about blind dates? I earn tens of thousands a month now, what do I need a partner for... Stop yelling, stop yelling, I have to work, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, she realized that there were two people sitting at the table in front of her.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

After a long silence, the girl gave a slightly awkward smile and said, "You guys are here so early..."

Liang Zhirou was so nervous that she couldn't speak for a moment, and could only nod slightly.

The girl slowly sat down in front of them, her gaze sweeping over Chen Lu, who was wearing sunglasses, before finally settling on Liang Zhirou's face, her expression instantly brightening.

"You're Mu Zhimu, the artist?" the girl exclaimed excitedly. "I never imagined that the artist I worked with for so long would be so beautiful!"

Liang Zhirou was stunned for a moment, "Who are you?"

She remembered that she had received many illustrations from this company before she got pregnant, but they always communicated online and she had never met anyone in real life.

"I...I am Amuro Tooru's runaway girlfriend. I used to contact you often."

The girl with the ponytail cleared her throat. "Just call me Xiaolin."

Chen Lu was having a hard time suppressing his laughter.

Is this how anime fans communicate? I love it!

"Hello?" the girl asked him curiously.

“I am her assistant and legal advisor.” Chen Lu raised his chin at Liang Zhirou.

Oh, so she's just a junior assistant.

Xiaolin muttered to herself, no longer curious about this person's background.

Liang Zhirou still remembered Xiao Lin.

Of all the commercial works I've drawn over the years, this is the only one who was willing to pay the final payment before even submitting the artwork.

Once they realized they were fairly familiar with each other, things became much easier to discuss.

Their company had already decided on the characters to be released in the next two years at the end of last year, and Liang Zhirou was responsible for drawing a part of them.

They still only need to submit their work on time, without having to come to work, and there are no restrictions on whether they accept artwork from other companies.

In other words, she is not considered part of the company.

"These are the labor contract and confidentiality agreement we have drafted. You can sign them if you think they are okay."

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhirou nodded, took the contract with both hands, glanced at it, and then quietly handed it to Chen Lu.

Chen Lu's lips curled into a wry smile as he helped her make the selection.

Xiaolin suddenly paused, then unconsciously swallowed.

I was so focused on Mu Zhimu just now, but this assistant is actually quite handsome...

"No problem, sign it."

A moment later, Chen Lu slowly pushed the contract in front of Liang Zhirou.

The contract didn't play any word games; in fact, it gave Liang Zhirou a lot of preferential treatment, as if it were trying to curry favor with her by asking her to help with the artwork.

That's actually quite normal. Artists also care about their reputation. In the current mobile game market, the name "Mu Zhi Mu" already carries its own hype—players can tell from the name that the level of eroticism and quality are guaranteed.

If the character art were slightly better than XP, then strength wouldn't even be a concern; just spend 648 yuan and you'd be done.

So even if this silly girl doesn't work, these companies are still willing to hire her to draw.

This is all thanks to Liang Zhirou's tireless practice over the past few years, earned through her own hard work and dedication.

Just as Liang Zhirou was about to hand the signed contract back, she noticed Xiaolin rubbing her hands and looking at her: "Does your assistant have a girlfriend?"

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Zhirou immediately grabbed Chen Lu's arm tightly and said warily:

"This...this is my husband!"
