under the spotlight

Chapter 155 Game
After picking up Lu Beicen, it was already time for lunch, and they decided to find a place to eat before setting off.

Two directors, one camera and one driver, the four of them found a restaurant by the side of the road. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Xue Feng asked Lu Beicen, "Lin Fei, have you coordinated?"

Lu Beicen nodded: "I've told her about it, and she said it's fine, it's convenient for her to make an appointment with a psychologist."

Wen Mengran was confused when he heard that, so he asked: "The film you supported as a teacher hasn't ended yet? Why does this involve a psychologist? You won't be so kind as to find a psychologist for that person's father, right?"

Lu Beicen thought about finding a psychologist for such a muddy person, and couldn't help shrugging his eyebrows and laughing: "Where does this go, it's another topic."

Hearing Lu Beicen briefly explain the case, the driver sitting next to him was surprised: "Is this really a curse word?"

Lu Beicen always felt that it was a little strange to take this matter as a surprise, so he didn't say anything, but Xue Feng answered a few words for him, Wen Mengran didn't seem to be paying attention here, and there was a hint of emotion in his tone: "It seems , Lin Fei is not like others said, he only has eyes for movies, and he will do everything in order to make money by making movies."

Regarding this matter, Lu Beicen, a newcomer, definitely has no right to speak, but judging from the current situation, she thinks that Lin Fei is still a person with great career ideals, not the kind of old director who is particularly utilitarian.

Xue Feng took a sip of the happy soapy water, and shook his head: "Are you talking about the words passed down by their department? I don't think I can fully believe it. She and Xiao Kai had conflicts. It is said that it started because of the competition for the topic. As for what happened, they each said their own thing, I have heard them all, but I still feel that they are not credible, anyway, Xiao Kai and the couple are not easy to save fuel."

Xue Feng has worked longer, so he naturally knows more about these old things than Wen Mengran. The Xiao Kai he mentioned is one of the chief reporters of the news department, and his wife Ren Jia is an anchor of the news department. But I am an anchor who grew up from the position of director, so I will also work as director and interview some subjects.And she and Lin Fei both ran social news, so it was inevitable that sometimes the subject matter would collide.

Although Xue Feng said that both sides' words were not credible, it was obvious that he was more inclined to believe Lin Fei.

Wen Mengran asked something else, the waiter brought two dishes to the table, and the four of them stopped gossiping and started eating.

Wen Mengran took the initiative to buy two bottles of functional drinks for the driver to refresh his mind after eating and boarding the car. The summer afternoon is the most drowsy. If it is not a special situation, no one wants to set off at this time. Usually, the driver will let the driver take a nap. But after making an appointment to see the client at three o'clock in the afternoon, naturally he had to hurry.

Lu Beicen offered to let Xue Feng sleep in the back seat. She usually doesn't take a nap, and she doesn't like to sleep in the car, so she simply took on the task of chatting with the driver to prevent the driver from falling asleep.

There was a moderate amount of rain last night, and it cleared up again this morning. Although there are no traces of rain, the weather is obviously not as hot as the previous few days, and there is no feeling of being sunburned at noon. Blue sky, white clouds, and a little breeze. Looking at the sky ahead, the clouds are changing shapes in the sky. The green mountains and green waters on both sides of the expressway retreat quickly. Lu Beicen and the driver chatted one after another, and finally at 02: 30, arrived at the destination safely.

Wen Mengran and the client, Lu Yan, made an appointment at a boutique chain hotel in the county. Lu Beicen knew at a glance that it was probably run by the Wen family. It's not convenient to do interviews anywhere, and it's impossible to ask people on the road on a hot day.

What's more, such a party who may back down at any time, without a comfortable environment, is very likely to voluntarily persuade him to quit.

After entering the room, Wen Mengran immediately called Lu Yan and learned that she was already on her way here, so she finally let go of her worry.

When Xue Feng heard that he was on the way, he immediately started to move the chairs, set up the camera, and then fix a set of lighting and color calibration procedures. An experienced cameraman like him naturally knows what a fleeting opportunity is. After coming here for a long time and then dragging and dragging the machine, it is likely to scare people back again, because I heard that the party is not easy to make an appointment, Xue Feng even used the microphone directly, and even the little bee was not ready to do it.

But when Lu Yan appeared in the sight of the three of them, they all knew that the worry just now became superfluous, because she not only came by herself, but also brought a young man with her. The two of them walked together, and the three of them saw I knew this must be a young couple.

I have to say that Lu Yan looks really good, with exquisite facial features and fair skin, and a well-proportioned figure without being thin. It is no wonder that the two families will fall in love with her. Such a girl chooses a daughter-in-law in the county town, especially in the countryside. , must be the object that both parents and sons will like. Parents will like her to give birth, especially they must have asked her to be able to do things.

And the young man who came with Lu Yan was named Shao Yang, he was tall and handsome, standing with Lu Yan, he looked quite right.

Lu Yan behaved gracefully. After sizing up the three of Wen Mengran, she didn't follow Wen Mengran's guidance and sat on the chair in front of the camera. She just stood by the door and said calmly, "I can accept it." Your interviews will cooperate with you in filming the show, but can you promise me one condition?"

The three of Wen Mengran looked at each other in blank dismay. Such parties are rare. Obviously, Wen Mengran would not promise anything lightly, so he smiled and said, "Let me listen first."

"My mother used those dowry gifts to buy a house, and it will definitely be impossible to return it in a short while. I want you to help with the work of those two families. Give us a year, and we will return the money. "Lu Yan spoke very directly, expressing clearly that it was impossible for her to choose either of the two, but the money had already been spent by her mother, and she would not be able to get it back for a while.

Wen Mengran was suffocated and said: "Did the two betrothal gifts be spent?"

Lu Yan shook her head: "I don't know, anyway, the first [-] yuan must have been spent, because I took the money on the first day, and my mother went to buy a house the next day. I don't know, but I feel that it is difficult to take out the money that has entered my mother's pocket, especially if I don't want to marry according to her arrangement, it is even more impossible, so now the money has become Our debt."

Wen Mengran watched Lu Yan raised her chin and pointed at her boyfriend Shaoyang, feeling the eyes of the four people in the room, Shaoyang did not flinch, but nodded firmly.

The three of Wen Mengran immediately understood that before the two came, they should have discussed it.

After thinking about it, Wen Mengran still asked: "Have you thought it over? If the mediation is successful, there will definitely be legally binding documents that need your signature. Will you sign it?"

Lu Yan nodded: "Actually, I have already consulted with a lawyer. As long as the criminal prosecution is not carried out, we promise to pay back the money within a year."

Wen Mengran felt a little appreciation for Lu Yan's frankness. This girl is young and doesn't read much, but she still has some brains.

"Since you can think of these things, why did you put yourself in this predicament?" Wen Mengran asked with regret after thinking for a while.

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, obviously didn't expect Wen Mengran to ask such a question suddenly, and then said with a somewhat sad smile on his face: "It's only at this point that I figured it out, before, at the very beginning ..."

Wen Mengran saw that Lu Yan wanted to start from the beginning, so he raised his hand and pointed to the chair facing the camera lens: "Let's sit there and talk, anyway, in your current situation, we can If the mediation cannot be successful, you have to give it a try, and if it succeeds, it will naturally live up to your trust, and if it fails, at least it will buy you a little more time to raise money."

"I definitely can't promise you anything now, and my guarantee is useless, but whether it's us or the presiding judge of your case, we must try our best to appease the other party and solve the problem as soon as possible." Wen Mengran thought I want to explain one more sentence.

Hearing what Wen Mengran said, Lu Yan showed a hint of hesitation on her face, and looked at her boyfriend Shaoyang. Shaoyang obviously didn't expect that the two of them had a good discussion, but now it turned into this situation. It was a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so he said in a low voice: "Can you let us go out and discuss it?"

Wen Mengran was not as tense as before, and nodded casually: "You guys go."

The two went out to find the stairwell, whispering voices could be heard faintly from outside the open door.

Lu Beicen looked at Wen Mengran with searching eyes, Wen Mengran just smiled and shook his head, motioning her to keep quiet.

The three of them waited silently in the room for about ten minutes. Lu Yan and Shao Yang came back again, but they did not have the same calm expression when they entered the door for the first time just now, and they obviously felt a little frustrated.

"How about it, have you discussed it?" Wen Mengran asked in a very gentle tone.

Lu Yan nodded: "We, we have decided, let's try, if you don't try, you will never be reconciled."

Wen Mengran didn't show a trace of excitement or joy on his face, but professionally motioned Lu Yan to sit in the position facing the camera: "Then, let's start, is there any request for others to avoid?"

Lu Yan turned her eyes around the room and realized that the female reporter in front of her meant whether Shaoyang should avoid it, so she just shook her head silently.

The interview finally started. Lu Beicen watched the two sit face to face, Xue Feng turned on the phone, and finally felt relieved. At this moment, she understood that Wen Mengran just had a psychological discussion with Lu Yan and Shaoyang. Game, after all, rushing is not business, and the needs of these two people are more anxious than their need to shoot a show.

Obviously, Wen Mengran won.

Lu Yan's story is really a bit complicated. It used to be very simple. After graduating from junior high school, even though she was admitted to high school, her mother Liang Ping would not let her study anymore, because in this small county, most of the villagers thought that , daughters are money losers, no matter how many books they read, the money they earn belongs to their in-laws, and Liang Ping also knows the same.

Since childhood, all the delicious food and fun in the family belonged to his younger brother. Even though Lu Yan was six years older than his younger brother Lu Liang, she couldn't help but envy her younger brother.

The conditions of the Lu family were not good, because his father, Lu Chunhua, suffered from a serious illness when he was young, and could not do hard work.After Lu Yan graduated from junior high school, because Liang Ping entrusted relatives to transfer her son Lu Liang to the county town to study in elementary school, Lu Yan followed Liang Ping into the county town and opened a breakfast shop, and her father set up a bicycle repair booth in front of the breakfast shop.

In the first two years, Lu Yan helped Liang Ping to support the breakfast shop. Although Lu Yan got up early and worked in the dark and did the most work, she couldn't get a penny. Liang Ping took money too seriously. Lu Yan was seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl who bought a pair of socks had to beg her mother Liang Ping for a long time.

Lu Yan was very angry, and went to the south with her classmates to work that year. Although the income was not high, she finally had income that she could control and saved a little money.

The family's breakfast shop became Lu Chunhua helping Liang Ping, but he was obviously not as dexterous as Lu Yan, and he was not as good at greeting guests as she was.Liang Ping scolded Lu Chunhua almost every day, and the Lu family was basically in a state of chaos.

That year, when Lu Yan went home to celebrate the New Year, Lu Chunhua and Lu Liang begged her not to go out to work, wiping their tears. Liang Ping, a irascible middle-aged woman, was like a lion, which was really hard to resist.

Lu Yan felt sorry for her father and younger brother. Liang Ping not only felt tired, but also found that the money she earned this year was much less than the previous two years. A compromise was made. Liang Ping agreed to give Lu Yan a salary of 500 yuan a month. Help at home.From then on, even though Liang Ping said dirty words when giving the money every month, she still gave the money.

Life returned to the original track. At the age of 20, Lu Yan reunited with her former classmate Shao Yang and fell in love secretly.

Shaoyang’s family conditions were not good. After graduating from junior high school, he went outside with his uncle to learn how to make pastry. Because his parents were old and sick, Shaoyang had to go back to the county town, first to work in another bakery, and later to borrow some money. Opened a pastry shop.

After a little observation of her daughter's changes, Liang Ping knew that there was a situation, and she began to make small calculations in her heart. But when she kindly tricked Lu Yan and brought Shaoyang home to ask, she knew that not only was his family poor , and there are still debts, and a pair of elderly and sick parents turned their faces instantly.

At this time, Liang Ping already had some savings, and what she yearned for most was to buy a house in the county instead of renting a house. She knew very well that she must have her own house if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the county.

Liang Ping had been thinking about it for a long time, but the house price had been rising. After knowing that her daughter was in a relationship, she thought that as long as the other party gave her a dowry gift and pooled up the family money to buy a house in the county, that would be fine. , but the situation of Shaoyang obviously made Liang Ping's wishful thinking come to nothing.

So, from then on, the game between the mother and daughter began.
