The next day.
In the morning.
Zhang Ye and the others returned to China. When they left, everyone was feeling a little uneasy. They really did not know much about the comics industry. But when they returned, everyone looked exceptionally excited.
When they got off the plane, they drove back to the studio.
Zhang Zuo and the others were already waiting for them.
"Director Zhang!"
"Aiyo, you're finally back?"
"Are you hurt?"
"Don't go overseas again. It's too scary."
"Luckily, it was a close shave this time."
"Pfft, and your Asian popularity has increased again."
Zhang Ye's popularity was increasing by the day and he was getting closer to the Asian S-list. Naturally, their studio's popularity was also rising. There were countless invitations and announcements everywhere. Zhang Ye had been away for ten days, so there was a thick stack of work waiting for Zhang Ye to go through it personally.
Wu Yi hurriedly asked, "By the way, how's the comic going?"
Ha Qiqi said happily, "It's been a great success!"
Zhang Zuo's eyes lit up. "Is that so?"
Little Wang said excitedly, "Director Zhang's comic has been serialized. The moment it was published, there was an enthusiastic response in Japan. Shōnen Publishing's comic magazine got first place in the popularity poll." Seeing no reaction from anyone, Little Wang said, "You guys might not understand this. Let's put it this way: do you guys know about Martial King?"
Wu Yi blinked. "I've watched the cartoon before."
Little Wang said, "Yes, it's that especially popular cartoon. Martial King is only ranked second in the popularity poll, while One Piece is first!"
Everyone was shocked!
That was even possible?
Director Zhang's comic had really become popular?
Ha Qiqi said, "Shōnen Publishing's editorial department is paying a lot of attention to it. The editor has already made several calls and is already treating it as a major comic. Who knows, we might even get to see a One Piece cartoon before long. When that happens, it will spread throughout the entire Asian region. Now, we just have to see how popular One Piece will become. No one can say for sure, but we'll have to see how it performs in the future."
There were many types of popularity for comics.
Small ones.
Big ones.
Even at the national level, the degree was different.
One Piece had just started out, so everything was still unknown.
Zhang Zuo said, "Director Zhang, a lot of things have piled up in the past 10 days —"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Leave it for now. I'm going home first. My mom has been nagging me for the past few days. I'll go back and report to her."
Zhang Zuo said, "Alright, hurry back."
He picked up his luggage and drove off.
…
At home.
In the villa.
He took the key and opened the door. As soon as he entered, he said happily, "Bro, you're back!"
In the end, he realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. His mother and father were both there, and even Old Wu's parents were there. He then looked at his wife. She was sitting on the sofa with one leg propped up. It was wrapped in a white cloth that looked like it was in a cast. Beside her was a pair of crutches.
His mother harrumphed, "You still know to come back?"
Zhang Ye was shocked, "Aiyah, my wife! What happened? "
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just fell."
Zhang Ye quickly rushed over and squatted down in front of Old Wu. He touched her leg but did not dare to use too much strength. "How did you fall?"
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention when I was walking and fell. The child is fine, don't worry."
Zhang Ye stared at her and said, "Even if you're sick, it won't do."
Wu Zeqing said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
"You're already in this state, what's there to be fine about?" Zhang Ye's heart ached terribly. He turned around and grumbled to his mother, "Heh, seriously, why didn't you tell me!"
His mother rolled her eyes. "Didn't I tell you to come back quickly!"
Only then did Zhang Ye remember. "So it was because of this that you kept calling me these past two days? Then why didn't you tell me? If you had, I would have come back the day before yesterday! "
His father said, "Zeqing wouldn't tell you no matter what."
Zhang Ye said angrily, "How many days has it been since you fell?"
His mother curled her lips. "Two days."
Li Qinqin said, "Her ankle is fractured, but everything else is fine."
Wu Changhe also said, "The bone has been reconnected and the cast has been put on. It's just that she'll have to recuperate for a few months." Then she said to her daughter, "You too. You should be more careful when you see a staircase."
Zhang Ye immediately said, "Which staircase did you fall on?"
His mother was amused. "What? Are you going to chisel it? "
Zhang Ye clenched his teeth and said, "I'm going to chisel it to pieces!"
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
But after thinking about it for a long time and hesitating, Zhang Ye could not use it. He had used it on Old Rao in the past to treat her internal injuries, but internal injuries were not something that could be seen or touched. Coupled with the fact that Rao Aimin had been recuperating for a very long time, it wouldn't be strange for her to recover so quickly. But Old Wu's fracture was different. She had just fallen, and the hospital's X-ray scans were right there. She was still on crutches just a moment ago, but the next moment, she was already running a marathon? How could he explain this?
Noon.
It was lunchtime.
Everyone started discussing how to take care of Wu Zeqing.
Li Qinqin suggested, "Changhe and I will pick up Zeqing. It's not convenient for her to stay at my place. We'll take care of her."
Wu Zeqing smiled. "There's no need. I'm fine on my own."
Li Qinqin shook her head. "You definitely won't be able to do it alone."
His mother objected. "Little Ye's father and I will take care of her. Haven't we been keeping an eye on her for the past two days?"
Wu Changhe said, "The two of you aren't young anymore. Running back and forth every day, cooking and doing chores, that's definitely not going to work. Let us take care of her."
The two families argued for a long time.
In the end, it was Zhang Ye who spoke up.
Zhang Ye put down his chopsticks. "Stop arguing. She's my wife, so I'll take care of her myself."
His mother glanced at him. "Son, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but when Zeqing could walk and run around, I could believe that you would take care of her. But now, Zeqing can't even walk up the stairs by herself, much less cook and do the laundry. She wants you to take care of her? With your cooking skills? Even Zhu Bajie would starve you until he loses his skin! "
His father added, "Zeqing is pregnant now. Takeaways have too much MSG in them, so she can't eat them. She can't take a lot of medicine either, so she'll have to rely on herself. You don't know how to cook, so you can't even make some nourishing soup for her. Forget about it. At most, your mother and I will come over every day."
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "There's no need. In any case, you guys don't have to worry about her."
Li Qinqin said, "No, you have so much work to do every day. Where would you find the time?"
But Zhang Ye said, "I'll reject all of them. Starting from today, I'll stay at home and take care of my wife for the next few months. I won't be going anywhere, so it's settled! Don't say another word! "
Laundry?
I'll learn!
Cleaning?
I'll learn!
Cooking?
I'll learn!
She's my wife. I don't need anyone else!
