In the evening.
In the drawing studio at home.
Zhang Ye buried himself in work and focused on drawing the third chapter of One Piece. He wanted to finish the script before he went to Japan. He wanted to get at least ten chapters.
One page.
Two pages.
Three pages.
One by one, the characters appeared vividly on the paper.
When he suddenly looked up, Zhang Ye realized that there was someone else in the small drawing studio.
Zhang Ye put down his pen. "Whoa, when did you come in?"
Wu Zeqing, who was standing behind him, smiled. "I've been in for a while. Did you build a new drawing studio to draw comics?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes." He turned around and said, "Here, take a look at it. What do you think?"
Old Wu smiled and said, "I've seen it. It's pretty good."
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "You always say yes to everything I do."
Old Wu said, "Hur hur, it's indeed pretty good."
Zhang Ye said, "Oh yes, I'm going to Japan to receive an award next week."
Old Wu asked, "Alright, how many days will you be there?"
Zhang Ye said, "I'd like to stay for a while longer to get a feel for the market there."
Old Wu said, "Sure, the people there aren't very friendly toward you. Just be careful."
Zhang Ye smiled. "Alright, I'll continue drawing then."
Old Wu said gently, "I'll go make you a cup of coffee."
"Thanks, Wifey!" Zhang Ye grumbled and continued working.
An hour.
Three hours.
The third chapter was finally completed.
Looking at his watch, he saw that it was already midnight.
Zhang Ye did not sleep and continued drawing the fourth chapter.
If there were any Japanese cartoonists present at this moment, they would definitely be shocked by Zhang Ye's drawing speed. Zhang Ye did not even blink as he lifted the pen and started drawing. Shua, shua, shua, shua. His hands were so fast that they almost left afterimages. From start to finish, he did not stutter at all. There were no edits, no trimming, and no mistakes. This was no longer a question of speed. Reflexes, agility, muscles, and stamina were all indispensable. No one could draw this fast, only Zhang Ye, who was a martial arts expert who had the comics from his previous world in his mind, could do it!
…
One day.
Two days.
More and more drafts were accumulated.
The ten-chapter draft was finally completed.
…
On the morning of the third day.
Zhang Ye returned to the studio and showed the draft to everyone.
Everyone in the studio could no longer express their current feelings.
"Ten chapters?"
"You've drawn eight chapters in the past two days?"
"I'm gonna faint!"
"You're too fast!"
"Director Zhang, please take care of your health!"
"Yeah, don't tire yourself out!"
In the end, Zhang Ye said nonchalantly, "What's so tiring? This amount of work is nothing. " He was not bragging, but he was really not tired. When he went out with Old Wu in the morning, he even ran three laps around his neighborhood before driving to work. He did not even break a sweat.
Everyone was speechless.
Sometimes, they found it very strange. Was Director Zhang made of iron?
Sometimes, they really wanted to lift up his clothes to see if there was a steel plate underneath.
Ha Qiqi said, "By the way, Director Zhang, the itinerary for the Japanese side is out."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sure, let me have a look."
"Here." Ha Qiqi handed it to him. "It's from the Asian Charity Association."
Schedule:
Next Monday.
The plane arrived in Tokyo.
They checked into the Asakusa Hotel.
And so on.
Zhang Ye looked through it and said, "Alright, let's go according to their itinerary. But there's no need to rush back. Let's stay for a few more days."
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Alright, I'll go and communicate with them then."
Zhang Zuo asked, "Who will be accompanying us this time?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Who wants to go?"
Little Wang raised her hand and shouted, "Me, me, me!"
Little Zhou also raised her hand and said, "I've never been to Japan before either!"
Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "It's not like we're asking you all to go and have fun. We're here to do business."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. There's a balance between work and rest. Alright then, Little Wang and Little Zhou will go together. And Little Sun, you'll definitely have to tag along."
Little Sun smiled. "Yes!"
Zhang Ye looked at Ha Qiqi. "Old Ha, why don't you go too?"
Ha Qiqi said, "I definitely have to go."
Zhang Ye nodded. "So that's about it?"
Zhang Zuo felt a little worried, so he said, "Director Zhang, let's bring Little Yang along as well."
Ha Qiqi quickly said, "That's right, that's right. When we went to Korea some time ago, we didn't make enough preparations and didn't consider the unexpected situation. We nearly got into a big mess. We definitely can't not bring along a bodyguard when we're overseas. Besides, the Japanese are scolding you every day, so you have to bring Little Yang along. Safety first!"
Over there, Yang Shu was leaning against the window and staring at Zhang Ye's BMW X5. When she heard that, she slowly turned around in a daze. "What's the matter? Where are we going? "
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes.
Ha Qiqi said, "We're going to Japan. We'll have to rely on you to protect us."
Yang Shu nodded and said, "Alright."
Zhang Ye lectured her, "Don't cause any trouble when you're there."
Yang Shu said, "OK."
Zhang Ye said, "Don't keep staring at the windshield of the car!"
Yang Shu said, "Mhm."
Zhang Ye harrumphed, "If you cause any trouble when you get there, we'll throw you into Japan. Don't come back either, do you hear me?"
Yang Shu said, "OK."
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
Director Zhang!
How can you have the cheek to say that to others?
You're always the one who causes trouble!
Every word you say is directed at yourself, hey!
The itinerary was set and the entourage was confirmed. All that was left was to handle the paperwork.
Getting passports.
Booking plane tickets.
Booking a hotel.
The Asian Charity Association had only invited Zhang Ye alone. Although they had said that the entourage could be reimbursed and arranged, they knew that a celebrity of Zhang Ye's caliber couldn't possibly go on such a long trip without anyone. However, Zhang Ye and the others were going with him, so they didn't want to trouble the Asian Charity Association to make the arrangements. Zhang Ye wasn't someone who didn't know what to do, so he had to pay for it himself.
There were still three days to go.
Everyone was also looking forward to the trip to Japan.
But just before they set off, something happened that caused a heated discussion throughout Asia!
…
On this morning.
It happened very suddenly!
A Korean reporter had exposed a book that a hotel in Tokyo, Japan, had provided to its guests. The content in the book was very harsh to the ears. They tried to whitewash history, tamper with history, and denied past military wrongdoings. There were even some obviously insulting remarks about China and Korea. It was extremely vile! Most importantly, this hotel was actually quite famous. It was called the Asakusa Hotel. Many of the hotel accommodations for conferences and the accommodations of the foreign athletes during major competitions would be chosen here. It was also a partner of many travel agencies, and many of the China tour groups had also stayed here. It was just that the book was written in Japanese, so no one had ever found out about it!
In this world, a lot of history was similar to that of Zhang Ye's previous world. There were some differences, but the general development did not change much!
So with this, many of the countries in Asia could not take it lying down!
China.
Korea.
The media.
The people.
They immediately started scolding!
