Before leaving get off work, Jiang Xia went to talk to Lao Wang about work. This guy's storyboarding skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently. As long as Jiang Xia gives him the animation script, he can draw a suitable storyboard.
Therefore, after Jiang Xia stepped down as storyboard director, he took on the heavy responsibility. Now, the sixth season of Tom and Jerry, which he led, has been broadcast on major TV stations and D-sites. The style is almost the same as before, the visuals and performances are excellent, and the online reviews are still overwhelmingly positive.
In fact, if it weren't for some netizens pointing out that the animation director had changed, almost no one would have noticed.
This shows just how outstanding Lao Wang's talent for animation is.
"Old Wang, is Shen Ying coming over for summer vacation?"
"Um!"
Thinking about this, Wang Ming couldn't help but smile. He had originally intended to keep it a secret and surprise everyone, but since Jiang Xia had asked, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
"She still has one exam left to take in her final exams. She can leave after the exam tomorrow. Her flight is at 2 pm, and she should arrive in Beijing around tonight."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I couldn't wait to see you after the exam. What do you call this? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, brother."
Jiang Xia glanced at Li Weiya's office out of the corner of her eye and said in a low voice, "She arrives in Beijing tonight, you'll definitely pick her up from the airport, and then what? You two will go to a hotel?"
Wang Ming blushed. Unlike Jiang Xia, he wasn't shameless and only dared to keep some things to himself, never daring to even think about them.
"How could that be! I was just going to pick someone up at the airport, don't overthink it."
"Mmm, I know you're just rubbing against her without going in. By the way, Lao Wang, how about I give you a couple of days off? You can spend a couple of days showing off in the capital with Shen Ying." Jiang Xia chuckled and nudged his arm.
"Two days isn't enough, is it? Beijing is so big, with so many attractions. What can you see in two days?" Old Wang raised an eyebrow. These two are now sworn brothers, and they grew up together since childhood. They have a very good relationship, so they don't stand on ceremony with each other.
"Then five days it is. Anyway, Tom and Jerry Season 6 is now online, so it's a good time for you to rest. You've worked hard during this time."
"Old Jiang, you're a real friend. You can give me some of the original artwork for the Tom and Jerry movie."
"You said it, I didn't force you."
"Alright, alright, it's nothing."
It is said that people are in high spirits when they have good news. With his girlfriend coming to the capital soon, Wang Ming is in an exceptionally happy mood.
Since confessing their feelings to each other on New Year's Eve, their relationship has been steadily improving. Even though they were separated by distance during their school years, they would have long, intimate phone conversations every day, talking about what happened that day, and occasionally video chatting to ease their longing for each other.
Now that they've finally made it through a semester, they can spend the entire summer together, and their happiness is off the charts.
"Does your godmother know about you and Shen Ying now?" Jiang Xia asked with a smile.
Wang Ming shook his head: "I've been keeping my contact with Shen Ying a secret from her, so she probably doesn't know, but I guess I won't be able to keep it a secret this summer."
After all, Shen Ying came all the way to the capital to find him, ostensibly under the guise of work. But Li Weiya wasn't stupid; the two of them were always so affectionate, it was obvious at a glance that their relationship wasn't normal.
"Is it possible that Godmother already knew? She just didn't want to expose you?"
"No way?" Wang Ming pursed his lips and cautiously glanced at his mother's office. He saw her coming out with a water glass, so he quickly looked away, afraid that she would notice something.
Jiang Xia shrugged nonchalantly: "Anyway, when Yan Wan and I were still dating, my parents knew everything. Think about it, how could parents not know about the changes that have happened to their son recently? When you're chatting with Shen Ying on your phone, do you believe that your godmother can imagine a whole bunch of scenarios with just a casual smile?"
"..."
Wang Ming was speechless. He couldn't refute what she said. Sometimes when he was having dinner with his mother, he would receive a message from Shen Ying and he would subconsciously reply happily.
Li Weiya noticed this and often asked him who he was. Although he always brushed it off by saying it was work-related, her mother's meaningful expressions sometimes clearly showed that she had noticed something.
"So you mean I should just tell my mom the truth?"
"Whether you confess or not is up to you. I'll give you five days off. Even if you want to go sightseeing in the capital with Shen Ying, you still have to report to your godmother where you're going and who you're going with, right?"
Jiang Xia smiled and continued, "By then, even if you don't say it outright, she'll probably have a pretty good idea. The fact that she hasn't asked about your personal life now probably means she's already accepted your relationship with Shen Ying. It's just a matter of when you formally introduce Shen Ying to your godmother as her girlfriend."
Wang Ming let out a soft breath: "I understand."
From childhood to adulthood, Li Weiya rarely interfered in his personal life, only hoping that he would become stronger and more independent despite not enjoying his father's love.
Therefore, as long as she feels that her son has met a good person and that the two can be happy together, there is no need for her to interfere too much; she can simply watch quietly.
"Yanwan's roommate resigned today and is treating everyone to dinner tonight. Do you want to come along?" Jiang Xia asked casually.
Wang Ming knew he was referring to two girls, Cui Jiaying and Si Si. However, they worked at D Station, belonging to different companies, and their offices were far apart. They would only bump into each other occasionally, but Wang Ming was not familiar with them.
"Forget it, I'm not familiar with them, so I won't go. You guys have fun." Wang Ming shook his head and refused. "But weren't they doing well at D station? I heard they were doing very well. Why did they suddenly quit?"
Wang Ming really couldn't understand it. With Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan as their backers, the two of them only needed to work for one or two years to become junior managers, and their take-home pay would be far higher than that of ordinary people.
“They’re planning to become full-time content creators, focusing on commentary and critiques of movies, TV shows, and anime. Their jobs at D-site are too busy and not suitable for them,” Jiang Xia said.
"Oh, that's good too. Anyway, with you and Yanwan around, you can just give their videos a trending recommendation, and it'll be hard for them not to go viral. They'll have hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans from now on, which is definitely better than working for you here."
Jiang Xia laughed and scolded, "Is this how you abuse power?"
"Isn't that right? Otherwise, what would you say if you chose Chen Yao?" Wang Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"???"
Jiang Xia was stunned. How did even this kid know?
"Old Jiang, I know everything. A young and beautiful lawyer, tsk tsk tsk, did your wife make you kneel on the washboard?" Wang Ming laughed maliciously.
"Get out of here!"
