under the spotlight

Chapter 176 The Beginning

The sun was slanting to the west, and Lin Fei looked into the distance through the screen door of the balcony. His depressed and confused mood was rendered slightly crimson by the sunset in the distant sky. Hearing Lu Beicen say the word "color", Suddenly laughed out.

Lu Beicen was a little stunned by Lin Fei's smile. He followed her line of sight and looked out. The open world, the distant mountains and the setting sun formed a dazzling picture scroll. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. , it can be seen from here.

What Lin Fei needs most right now is probably not work, but it's not about going back to see his parents and children on vacation. On the contrary, he needs a space that is relatively independent even though it is a group activity, with beautiful scenery that can heal his mood, and someone who can People who chat and talk about their thoughts.

"Xiaobei, what do you think if I change to a high-rise elevator room? If I can be by the lake, the sky and the earth are as far as I can see every day, will my mood be more open?" Lin Fei murmured , In fact, it's more like talking to yourself.

It is true that Lin Fei's house can no longer be lived in, Lu Beicen nodded immediately: "Well, sister Lin, it's time to change."

"I put the house out yesterday, and I wanted to resign, but the three bosses talked to me together, nothing else, I just suddenly felt that after living for more than 30 years, I seemed to know nothing but this line of work , suddenly resigned, I don't know where I should go, what to do, how to support myself, the key is that I still have children, and parents, life has come to my point, it can be regarded as, huh, even the freedom to die No..." Lin Fei shook her head with a wry smile, with a hint of desolation in her smile.

Lu Beicen gasped for a moment. Although she had never experienced such a predicament, she could understand it. Perhaps her adoptive mother also experienced such despair at a certain point in her life.

Lu Beicen remembers very clearly that in the past, it should be one day after the adoptive parents were both laid off. After the adoptive father went crazy and beat the mother and daughter, he fell asleep drunk and fell asleep. She clutched the quilt and pretended to sleep, but heard The adoptive mother squatted in the kitchen crying bitterly. The pale moonlight outside the window shone on the adoptive mother's side face. Her suppressed crying was like a wounded female beast. At that moment, the adoptive mother's pain was probably more complicated than Lin Fei's, but There is only one kind of despair, no matter what the reason, there is only one emotion...

That night, she was terrified. She didn't want to make any noise at first, but at that moment, she just instinctively threw herself into the arms of her adoptive mother, hugged her tightly, and didn't dare to let go...

Thinking about it now, Lu Beicen's eyes are still red with fear, and his words are choked with sobs: "Sister Lin, you must not think about it, when I was young, I grew up with my adoptive mother, and one night, my adoptive father took me and my adoptive mother After a severe beating, my adoptive mother hid in the kitchen and cried, I will never forget that day, I just felt that my adoptive mother would not want me anymore, I was so scared, and for a long time afterwards, I would have nightmares at night."

The more Lin Fei listened, the more surprised she became. She looked away from the outside long ago, and looked at Lu Beicen's face. Her eye circles were flushed, and her earnest words trembled inadvertently. She had never experienced that kind of expression and tone. It is absolutely impossible to make it up, but why are her words so different from the rumors?
"Isn't your family running a business?" Lin Fei asked casually, feeling very abrupt, and immediately waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to inquire about your personal affairs, I also lost control of my emotions today, just wanted to Find someone to talk to, you don't..."

"Sister Lin, I know you just want to talk to someone. There is nothing you can't say about me. After having me, I lost contact suddenly, and then when my mother gave birth to me, my grandmother gave me away without telling her, and then I had adoptive parents."

"My adoptive father has no skills, and he often drinks alcohol and domestic violence. After they were both laid off, the family relied on my mother to open a small restaurant for a living. Later, my adoptive father suffered from liver cancer, and my adoptive mother's restaurant could not be opened. At that time, I was forced by my biological parents. I found them and returned to them, and after my adoptive father died, my adoptive mother was relieved."

"My adoptive mother has no children. She said that my adoptive father never asked her for a divorce. She has been my adoptive father's cow and horse for the rest of her life. But when people have emotional breakdowns, I think my adoptive mother must have been unable to survive countless times. Thoughts, but it was probably because of me that I survived."

"My adoptive mother is really good to me. She always feels sorry for me, but I feel very lucky. She is a very gentle mother. She gave me more love and love than all the biological mothers in the world. The warmth made me think of the words my adoptive mother said whenever I felt extremely sad later, people have difficult times, but when you get through it and look back, it's not a problem..."

"Sister Lin, you will get through it too. Besides, you see, it's not work and society that are abandoning you, but the leaders attach great importance to you. They all hope that you will not be affected by the shadows of the past. I hope you can Start a new job. And even if you change jobs now, as long as you are in the workplace, you will always encounter this or that kind of thing. Look at me, a novice in the workplace, isn't it just a bunch of gossip?"

Lu Beicen didn't talk much, and this talk was like pouring out his heart. Lin Fei listened to her in silence, and the two of them looked at each other speechlessly. After a while, they raised the corners of their mouths together...

Lu Beicen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, just when the text message rang, she quickly took out the phone from her bag, the time was already at 06:30, Wen Mengran's text messages were sent a little cautiously: Mr. Tang has come, I asked you Two, and asked me not to disturb you, but everyone is waiting for dinner.

Lu Beicen handed the text message to Lin Fei. Lin Fei glanced at it, and suddenly felt sour on the tip of her nose, and a very subtle warmth rose in her heart for no reason. She pursed her lips tightly, and took Lu Beicen's hand Said: "Let's go, go to eat, I haven't eaten well for several days, I want to eat enough today."

"Well, Xiao Ran said that a big meal is prepared tonight, and she, the young lady, arranged it herself." Lu Beicen saw that although Lin Fei no longer took care of the previous work, it was always a good thing that he was willing to eat well. As for other things, as an adult The pain in one's heart is not so easily healed. Even if you want to understand it, it will take time.

Lin Fei pulled Lu Beicen out the door, and said with a soft smile: "It seems that the rumors are not all false. Others say that Xiaowen's family runs a hotel. Is this true?"

"Rumours are always half-truths and half-false. If they are all false, no one will believe them. However, I think the rumors about Xiao Ran may be underestimated. She is really an out-and-out young lady. Missy who wishes to live."

"Then this lady's hobbies are also very special. It's not good to choose a career, but she actually chooses to be in our line of work, tsk tsk..." Lin Fei smiled and shook her head.

In the Biyun Room, the largest private room in the podium of Biyun Hotel, a super grand round table for 18 people has already been opened, and the waiters come in and out, bringing Wen Mengran's carefully prepared cold dishes and hot dishes to the table. They are all young men, and they are chatting together at the moment, the fruit plate arranged by Wen Mengran has been swept away, and the smell of the dishes makes them feel even hungrier, but Mr. Tang is sitting on the sofa next to Du Chengran and Zhou Ren chatting No one dared to sit on the table until he got up.

At the other end, a little further away, Xue Feng and Wei Ye were also chatting and laughing together. A person who was transferred from the packaging team of the brand department saw the waiter bring a large plate of grilled lamb chops to the table, and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice. : "If you want to say that women have a lot of things, isn't it just that they have been splashed with paint? It made the whole channel follow the rumors without saying anything, and finally came out. Why are you so hypocritical?"

Several people around looked at him in surprise, Xue Feng was about to explode, but Wei Ye spoke faster: "I said you are probably an undiscovered ghost, you can say such things casually ? If your sisters were thrown with buckets of paint, you wouldn’t have to find someone to go desperately?”

"You, how did you talk? What does it have to do with me?"

"It's nothing to do with you. You squat in the computer room every day in the later period, you don't have to go in the wind and rain, you run outside, right? No one has anything to do with you, right? But you should at least be a person, right? Have some sympathy?"

This is a bit of a gunpowder smell, Wei Ye's words are really a bit unpleasant, another late-stage man next to him was about to help the previous person, Xue Feng pulled Wei Ye and said: "Okay, okay , why don’t we just have dinner later, as for the fact, when Mr. Tang hears about it, we don’t have to eat this meal.”

At this time, Wen Mengran entered the room, and first invited Mr. Tang and Du Chengran to sit down. Lu Beicen and Lin Fei just entered the door. Du Chengran smiled and waved: "Come, come, Mr. Lin, Xiaolu, Xiaoran , today you three female representatives must sit next to Mr. Tang."

Bringing Lin Fei to the training today is actually an expedient measure. In the morning, Mr. Yang explained and explained again, and Mr. Qi asked again and again. Mr. Tang naturally knew the seriousness of this. The three people were worried these days. The things are very consistent. One is whether it will cause some mental illness, and the other is whether it will suddenly be overwhelmed. Anyway, this matter is because of work. If such serious consequences really occur, let alone the question of accountability, the key is Is it a life, a person, or the rest of an excellent reporter's life, who can bear it?
Mr. Tang saw that the expression on Lin Fei's face seemed to have lost the previous gloomy expression, and he glanced at Lu Beicen again. Lu Beicen nodded at Mr. Tang with a wink. Mr. Tang heaved a sigh of relief, and raised his hand and said with a smile. : "Yes, yes, the three of you sit here."

Seeing this posture, Wen Mengran didn't dare to say that he was engaged in service anymore, so he quickly pushed Lu Beicen and Lin Fei to Mr. Tang's side, led them to sit down, and stood next to Lu Beicen with a smile on his face Very brightly said: "Then, Xue Feng, next you will take over and do some service work, and I will also enjoy Half the Sky treatment with Mr. Lin and Xiaobei."

Xue Feng laughed and said, "Okay, Xue Xiaoer is online, Wei Ye, do you want to consider being Wei Xiaosan?"

There was a burst of laughter in the private room, Wei Ye squeezed his small eyes and sat down at the serving place, and said with a smile: "I have to compete with you for the second seat, now you are Xue Little San."

The atmosphere became lively, and Mr. Tang began to speak: "Everyone can relax a little bit tonight. This hotel has a hot spring. If you want to soak in the hot spring at night, you should drink less alcohol. The rest can be drunk well, not too much. You have to go to class tomorrow morning !"

Du Chengran followed with a smile and said: "Come, come, come, Wei Xiaoer, pour the red wine for Mr. Tang, the white wine will be waived today, if you don't want to drink red wine, you can have some beer."

Wei Ye hurriedly jumped up to get the wine and pour it, and he still didn't forget to ask: "Mr. Tang, what shall we learn tomorrow?"

Although Mr. Tang is not in a good mood at the moment, he also hopes that the atmosphere will be more relaxed tonight, so he joked with Wei Ye very rarely: "What are you learning? The main reason is to upgrade you. There are [-] lines in the entertainment industry. Actor, you are now an [-]th-line director, and you always feel that you are doing pretty well."

Wei Ye didn't take it seriously, and poured wine for Mr. Tang while saying, "That's okay, anyway, eighteen is better than nineteen and twenty."

All the leaders above laughed, and Mr. Tang also laughed and said: "At last, you are not blind, you big man, you can see it at a glance in the short group, come on, pour some red wine for you, Mr. Lin, Xiao Lin, let's drink some." ?”

Wen Mengran pushed Lu Beicen, and Lu Beicen immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, the three of us should all drink some red wine, the wine that Xiao Ran brought, it would be cheaper for her not to drink."

"Sister Lin, this wine is not top-notch. It is genuinely imported from France. Drink a little and go soak in a hot spring later, so you can sleep comfortably at night." Wen Mengran took over the conversation and said.

Lin Fei didn't hold back, so she asked Wei Ye to pour her a half cup, thanked her, and Wei Ye continued, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, drink as much as you want. Don't listen to Wen Mengran. She can't bear this drink."

Wen Mengran tilted her head and scolded with a smile: "I just don't want to drink it. Others can drink whatever they want, but you are not allowed to drink it. You have managed to win the seat of the mistress, and you can't do a good job in service. You don't have time to drink. "

Wei Ye didn't speak, just poured wine for Lu Beicen with a smile, and started to pour wine for Wen Mengran, until he could hardly lift Wen Mengran's cup, then said with a smile: "How is it? Is the mistress qualified? Miss Wen, please, my mistress will be happy to help you if you can’t finish the drink.”

Wen Mengran blinked, sniffed and said, "Don't worry about being your mistress, with just this little wine, we can digest it within half the sky..." Then he brought Lu Beicen's wine glass over, first After splitting a third of the time, Wei Ye blinked and walked away with a depressed expression on his face.

Wen Mengran still didn't forget to whisper to Lu Beicen: "That guy has the best wine, you'll see later, he's appointed to cry and beg for wine."

Everyone laughed and poured the wine, Mr. Tang was the first to stand up and toast: "Come on, let's have a toast together. The training will start tomorrow. After that, everyone will have to work hard for a while. There will be a series of feature films on the channel soon. Let's Whether you can rely on your own efforts without asking for foreign aid is up to all of you here. Therefore, for this cup, I will first represent Mr. Yang and the channel to respect everyone. This is a new starting point for the channel, and what we are going to do is this The first stick at the starting point, I hope everyone can unite sincerely and create a good start!"
