under the spotlight

In the radio and television compound, from the city channel to the big camphor tree at the corner of the main building, it is still covered with shade and lush greenery. Turning the intersection, Lu Beicen has a sense of déjà vu when he first came to the city channel to report.

It's just that then and now, they are going in two completely different directions, and after today, Lu Beicen has nothing to do with this compound. It's full of memories.

Lu Beicen took the formalities signed by the channel leader and went to the personnel department to handle the final link.She took a deep breath and said that she had no feelings, no reluctance at all, that was a lie.It's just that she didn't expect that the person who thought it was the most difficult to persuade would sign for her the most happily, and even helped her get Mr. Ma to sign.

It's just that Lu Beicen didn't know that when Mr. Tang brought this resignation report that he asked Yue Changhong to sign and then signed in front of Mr. Ma, the two almost quarreled.

Seeing the resignation report, Mr. Ma raised his head from the brief surprise, and looked straight at Mr. Tang, gritting his teeth a little bit: "What is this Yue Changhong doing? The people under her resigned one after another. She, the producer Can people still do it? If you can't do it, move your seat as soon as possible, don't wait until you really become a polished commander, just stop the show..."

The thing Mr. Tang can't hear the most is to stop the program with his mouth shut. It takes many people's efforts to put up a trump card program. When the program is replaced, who dares to speak casually about the life or death of a program?

What's more, it was Mr. Tang's hard work!
"Mr. Ma, I think if things go on like this, except for us veterans who are about to retire, you will probably become a polished commander in the near future, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, in your eyes, it doesn't matter whether the show is running or not. , as long as you have a seat as a springboard."

Mr. Tang's eyes were cold, his eyes were like a knife, and he looked directly at the new director who was a round younger than him.

Mr. Ma's complexion immediately became very ugly. He has been here for the past few months, first oppressing Mr. Tang and Mr. Qi with Mr. Yang's affairs, and gradually felt that he had gained a firm foothold and established authority. Just when he felt good about himself, When he was about to flex his muscles, Mr. Tang, the veteran vice president, suddenly got into trouble.

Moreover, Mr. Tang's words directly poked Mr. Ma's lungs, and the meaning was very clear. Don't you have any clues about why these people resigned?Can it be so easy to shake the pot?Who are you pretending to understand here?

"Old Tang, what did you say? I usually respect you for being old, and you have always been courteous..." Mr. Ma spoke a little politely, but his teeth were clenched tightly. It looked a little hideous.

Mr. Tang looked at Mr. Ma, and suddenly sneered: "Thank you, if Mr. Ma can think of a good way to curb the channel's brain drain, it doesn't matter if he treats me politely or not. There is no such thing, but I should have figured it out in the past few months. TV has never been a job that can be done alone, and it cannot retain talents. Especially this year, the backbone directors have left a large area. never before."

"Mr. Tang's words are serious. As far as I know, the flow of talents in TV stations has always been a normal phenomenon. When newcomers joined the channel a while ago, I asked Director Zhou. He said that the number of resignations this year is the same as in previous years. Almost." Mr. Ma narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Tang.

"Then I guess Director Zhou didn't tell you, who are the people who left? How about I go to Director Zhou to get a list and tell you one by one, who are the talents who count as ten? For a business unit like ours, It doesn’t make any sense to just look at the quantity, Mr. Ma may not know how much time and energy it takes to cultivate a good director and cameraman.”

Ma Zongteng stood up, and the volume was raised a bit: "Lao Tang, don't bully people too much. You know business, so you just lie on the bed of this office all your life. I'm in charge of personnel affairs, and it's not up to you to point fingers." .”

Mr. Tang looked at Mr. Ma, who was blushing a little funny, and casually nodded at the piece of paper on the table: "Yes, you are in charge of personnel affairs, so everyone who leaves must ask you to sign. What role can the leader play, sign it, she is pregnant and wants to have a baby, what a perfect reason!"

"You...Okay, I'll sign. If you want to leave, you can't keep it. No matter how talented you are, it's useless if you don't care about them. I'll see if the channel will go bankrupt without these people!" Mr. Ma picked up the pen and brushed I swiped and signed the word "Agree", and then signed my name and date, probably because of excitement, I could barely see through the back of the paper.

Mr. Tang picked up the piece of paper, turned around and left Mr. Ma's office without saying anything, and didn't say the first sentence until he handed the piece of paper to Lu Beicen: "From now on, don't be idle, you Don't waste your talent!"

The person in front of me is the person who really taught me how to make a TV. During the bumpy growth, he was like a generous father, always stretched out his arms, and gave the most solid protection when the child was staggering and learning to walk. .

Lu Beicen looked at Mr. Tang's gray temples, and tightened his lips tightly so that he didn't shed tears.

Mr. Tang obviously didn't like to face this kind of scene, so he closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the personnel department as soon as possible to complete the formalities, so as not to have long nights and dreams. The environment in the station is not good now, so it's no big deal to stay reluctantly. You are still young and have a long way to go!"

In the personnel department, the staff may have seen too many resigned people. When they saw Lu Beicen's name, they just paused for a moment, then looked up at her, and then began to go through the process, asking her to hand in the parking card in the station, the reporter Then he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly asked Lu Beicen to wait, took the piece of paper by himself, and went out.

After a while, the staff member came back and told Lu Beicen that Director Wu asked her to come over.

Lu Beicen knocked on the door of Director Wu's office, seeing him smiling at him, he hurriedly said hello.

Director Wu stood up while telling her to sit down, and brought her a bottle of mineral water himself: "You are two people now, very precious, congratulations, Xiaobei, I just heard from your father that such a big happy event Why didn't you say it earlier."

Lu Beicen was a little speechless, he was already in his 30s, why would he be called a parent even if he resigned.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu. We just confirmed it. You know our job. The elderly in the family are not at ease, so..." Lu Beicen simply carried the parents out.

Director Wu quickly nodded with a smile: "Understood, it's not easy for a female choreographer. You are such a delicate lady who has been able to do so well for so many years. Uncle is really impressive! It's been six or seven years in a blink of an eye, uncle. I'm going to be on the second line soon, I didn't expect to hear such good news before I left, it's very good!"

"Thank you Uncle Wu for taking care of you all these years, I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" Lu Beicen hurriedly said a few polite words.

"No trouble, no trouble, your child is sensible. The one in our family ran away when he said he wanted a child. Hey, don't talk, don't talk. Remember to call Uncle Wu when you have a full moon wine. Go get some joy!"

Lu Beicen exchanged a few more pleasantries before he came out of Director Wu's office. Afterwards, everything went smoothly, and all the formalities were completed very quickly, without having to go back again...

Just after packing up the things in the office and being picked up by Jiang Zhongze into the car, the wechat notification tone on the mobile phone started to ring.

Shen Chen's complaint seemed to ring in his ears: Boss Lu, did you resign without telling me?We were chatting yesterday, you are not kind!
Xue Feng: Lu Xiaobei, is it true or not, you resigned?

Ye Bo: Boss Lu, have you resigned?Where can I get high?Don't forget to introduce me if you have a chance!
Xiaoxiang: Director Lu, I heard you resigned?in shock...

Mei Li: Xiaobei, congratulations, you jumped out of the fire pit, don't forget me at the full moon wine!

Wang Wei: Xiaolu, why didn't you say anything about your resignation?Anyway, let's get together and say goodbye!

Lin Fei: Finished the formalities?I made sour radish for you, I guess you will like it, and I will send it to you in two days.

Seeing the sour radish, Lu Beicen felt hungry, and he was very hungry, and he didn't care about replying to the message, so he called Yu's mother: "Mom, do you still have hairtail fish at home? I want to eat hairtail fish. I really want to eat it." .”

There was a smile in Mama Yu's voice over there: "I looked through the refrigerator, I'm getting old, I can't remember, if I don't have it, I'll buy it later, and I'll make it for you tonight!"

Before Lu Beicen could speak, the voice of the grandma over there came out: "Aqin, Xiaobei, make whatever you want to eat quickly, and if you don't have it, ask auntie to go out and buy it. Pregnant women are like this, so you have to eat whatever you want quickly." , otherwise you will always feel that there is something missing, and when you eat the next meal, you will feel that it is not delicious..."

"Did you hear that, Grandma Huang said to make it for you quickly, and I'll change it into hairtail fish for you, so that you can eat it at noon!" Yu Guoqin hung up the phone happily.

Jiang Zhongze smiled and looked at Lu Beicen: "Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll take you to buy it."

Lu Beicen's mind turned around, and suddenly he remembered that there was a pomegranate tree in the yard in front of his house when he was a child: "Pomegranate, and fresh chestnuts, hey, the chestnuts at my house were delicious when I was young, just pick them under the chestnut tree. When the thorn ball is opened, the skin is still white, tender and sweet, and smells like sweet-scented osmanthus..."

Jiang Zhongze couldn't help laughing, and took advantage of the red light to bring over the food bag on the back seat of the car, and handed it to Lu Beicen: "Are you hungry? Everything tastes delicious. You should eat some walnuts and cashews first. There are grapes, I will take you to buy pomegranates, but where can I buy the chestnuts you mentioned?"

Lu Beicen shook his head while eating: "I guess it's a bit difficult. At this time, the chestnuts are already old..."

Jiang Zhongze couldn't help laughing: "There are old and tender chestnuts, why haven't I heard of them."

Lu Beicen smiled and glanced at her husband: "I heard today that the chestnuts eaten by August's tail are tender. When the autumn wind sweeps away, the chestnut shells turn red, and they are old."

"Well, I learned a little more unpopular knowledge today, thank you Teacher Lu." Jiang Zhongze smiled deeper: "Do you still remember the idiom you taught me before?"

Lu Beicen shrugged his eyebrows: "Boss Jiang's divergent thinking is okay."

"That's right, it's just that some teachers are not very good at diverging their thinking. I almost made it clear that a certain teacher is still giving lectures in a serious manner." Jiang Zhongze's tone was teasing.

Lu Beicen also laughed: "At that time, I thought you had a problem, and you practiced calligraphy every day in a fake manner."

"What does it mean to practice calligraphy in a fake way? The pile of copybooks I practiced are fake, and I have kept them all. I want to keep them well. I will tell my children in the future, look at how hard your mother is to catch up. It took so many copybooks to catch her, so you have to practice calligraphy well since you were a child..." Jiang Zhongze laughed out loud as he said.

Lu Beicen also smiled blindly: "Teaching the bad kid to ask you, this is your black history, and you have the nerve to show it off..."

The two were chatting happily when Lu Beicen's phone rang suddenly. It seemed to be the landline in the station, so she picked it up.

"Hello, who is it?"

"It's me, Li Jiantao."

Lu Beicen closed his eyes. The stage said that it was not a small thing. How could such a small matter like resignation spread so quickly, but he had no choice but to answer very politely: "Hello, Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"

"I heard that you resigned? Why is it so sudden? If you don't enjoy your work there, you can say hello at any time. I'll just transfer you back. Why did you resign so rashly?"

"Thank you, Mr. Li. I have thought it over and completed the formalities."

"That's fine. Anyway, you are talented, and you can use it anywhere. My friend has opened a production company. Do you want to try it and develop it independently? You have the final say. You have sufficient funds, and you don't have to worry about broadcasting channels. How about it?" So, do you want to think about it..."

Lu Beicen simply interrupted him: "Mr. Li, I don't have any plans for now. I'm driving now, so it's not convenient to make a phone call."

The voice on the other side of the phone paused, as if he felt Lu Beicen's strong rejection, but he didn't continue to introduce: "That's okay, you can call me anytime if you need it, and we can talk about it another day."

"Goodbye, Mr. Li!" Lu Beicen hung up the phone resolutely. Seeing that Jiang Zhongze hadn't spoken for a long time, he stretched out a finger and poked him: "What's the matter, do you want to eat this kind of old vinegar?"

"You said it's autumn, why are flies and mosquitoes still so active?" Jiang Zhongze didn't hide the sour taste in his heart that shouldn't be there.

"I didn't see any flies or mosquitoes, but this small speaker radio station is quite annoying. Look at my WeChat, it spreads all over the station in half an hour. These people are just too busy." Lu Beicen was also very annoying, even The explanation is to change the subject, otherwise Li Jiantao would call after she finished her resignation, making it seem like she still has a close relationship with him.

"Don't worry about the station, isn't communication the specialty of your unit? Alright, let's go buy pomegranates." Jiang Zhongze knew in his heart that Lu Beicen had always avoided Li Jiantao, and it was even more impossible to tell him to resign. The thing, just can't help but be sour.

Lu Beicen didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed: "But why didn't you feel sore before, could it be that now that I'm pregnant, you automatically feel sour?"

Jiang Zhongze also laughed: "How do you know I'm not sore, it's just that civilized people are not easy to get started, otherwise..."
