under the spotlight

Chapter 7

The first message in the text message is Lu Beicen's junior high school classmate and best friend, Fang Nan who has been in touch with each other since then in different high schools, different places, and different universities: Dear, to celebrate your official entry, I bought today Air ticket at ten o'clock in the morning, dinner together in the evening!
The corners of Lu Beicen's mouth curled up involuntarily. She also had an alias named Fang Bei. Back then, she and Fang Nan, one south and one north, occupied the first and second grades for a long time, but somehow they were too good to be true. The Chinese teacher jokingly said that it turns out that the south and the north are not all running in opposite directions, and the combination of two swords is invincible.

After graduating from junior high school, Lu Beicen's family changed. Fang Bei changed his name to Lu Beicen, changed his living environment, and kept communicating with Fang Nan.In the high school entrance examination, Fang Nan did not get into University B with Lu Beicen as he wished, but he was admitted to the best university in Zhongjiang Province, which is also the top ten comprehensive university in China. Language and Literature.

After graduating, Fang Nan joined the most famous media group in Zhongjiang Province as an editor, and worked in the editorial department of the country's top documentary journals, while Lu Beicen went to graduate school.

Last year, Lu Beicen returned to Zhongjiang, bought a house in the same community as Fang Nan, and lived in the front and back buildings.

Thinking of Fang Nan, the expression on Lu Beicen's face softened a lot. Looking at the time, Fang Nan should still be on the plane, so he quickly replied to the text message: "Okay, sleep first when you go home , I bought vegetables yesterday, and I will cook for you in the evening when I get off work."

Continue to look at the next text message, which was sent by Mr. Du Chengran: "Student Xiaolu, did your employment go well? I'm on a business trip, and your sister Li said, let's get together on Saturday night and have a BBQ on our rooftop."

The smile on Lu Beicen's face was even stronger. The rooftop gathering of Du Chengran and Li Yang, the fairy couple, was the first time that Lu Beicen truly recognized that human beings are really a social animal, even with her own personality. , will be infected by the harmonious and relaxed atmosphere, and also come to have two bottles of beer, chatting and laughing with others.

"Report to Mr. Du, I have successfully joined the job, waiting for you to come back and get together!" Lu Beicen texted back.

Next, there was a text message from my father, Lu Xusheng, a famous entrepreneur in Zhongjiang Province: "Girl, call your mother, she didn't sleep well last night."

The movements of Lu Beicen's hands were half a beat slow. Her mother, Jiang Yunjin, is the chief financial officer of a key state-owned enterprise in Zhongjiang Province.Her parents probably didn't care about her choice of job, but what was the real reason behind the sudden transfer.

I don't know how much Director Wu told her parents. Lu Beicen sighed involuntarily. She didn't know how to make this call. Maybe it started when she returned to her parents. Ms. Jiang Yunjin, for her daughter , The days when she couldn't sleep were too many to count, but she really didn't know how to communicate with her mother during those ten years of estrangement like a natural moat.

In the year after Lu Beicen graduated, as many as he could count, Ms. Jiang Yunjin had shed tears at least three times.

Lu Beicen has always had the courage to face difficulties and never turn back. Only in front of her parents, she wrapped herself tightly like a snail with a shell. Most of the time, she kept silent and refused to communicate.During this period of time, it was even more so without his brother Lu Beihao at home. Fortunately, Ah Hao is coming back, so let's talk about those things when Ah Hao comes back.

"Dad, I'm fine. I'm very happy to join the job today. I like the new job very much!" After Lu Beicen sent this message, he copied the message again, changed his title to mother, and sent it to Jiang Yunjin again. .

Most of the remaining messages were sent by colleagues in the original department, and there were three messages with the same name. Lu Beicen didn't know why, but he just didn't want to open it, and he didn't even want to see that name...

Just when Lu Beicen was about to reach out and delete all the messages he didn't want to read, a call came in. Lu Beicen smiled and answered the phone. Before he could speak, he started yelling: "I said Student Fang Xiaobei, are you really coming with me? I was on a business trip for half a month, and you retreated?"

"What I'm talking to you, what's true or not, pay attention to your wording!" Lu Beicen laughed.

"Okay, okay, you don't follow me. Anyway, it's not the first time you have abandoned your comrades in arms. I finally thought that with such a great god like you, I felt that my life would not be too bad. It's good for you, just keep silent Just go."

"I said Chen Ke, I'm afraid you're really sick. Didn't I tell you earlier that I was going to change departments, so why didn't you say anything? It's fine, I'm fine, I'll hang up now."

"Wait, let's have dinner together at noon. If you don't come in the evening, I will go to your house. Anyway, it's just across the building."

"I have a lot of things to do at noon. The cafeteria can take care of it. In the evening, it's up to you. Fang Nan is back."

"That's all right, tell me honestly tonight, or I will not leave at your house."

Before Lu Beicen hung up the phone, Chen Ke hung up the phone first.

Lu Beicen felt a little helpless, everyone said the world was so big, but why did she feel that the world was pitifully small.Chen Ke, Lu Beicen, and Fang Nan were also classmates in junior high school. He also had a famous nickname, Director of Women, and he was one of the few boys who knew them well in junior high school.

Chen Ke studied fine arts in high school, repeated it for a year, and was admitted to Z University majoring in photography. It was Chen Ke who urged Lu Beicen and Fang Nan to buy a house in a community with him. He said that at the end of the sharp drop in the property market, at this time, if you have money and don't buy a house, it is equivalent to losing money.

The area of ​​Zhongjiang TV Station is almost all cultural units. Fangnan’s unit and the TV station are one stop away. It is a 15-minute drive from this community called Binhu Flower City. All the flats were pure existing houses, and the apartment types were those that the developer was reluctant to take out when the previous crash happened. In this way, Lu Beicen and Fang Nan officially became neighbors with Chen Ke.

It's not that Lu Beicen really has something to do at noon, but he really doesn't want to be gossiping about being asked by Chen Ke in public.

Lu Beicen took the hard drive that copied the good material from Chen Fang, rushed to the end of the cafeteria, made a few bites, and went back to the office. At this time, the office was almost deserted.

Just in time, Lu Beicen was very happy. He copied the materials from the hard disk to the computer one by one, and then dragged the progress bar one by one to browse through them. Chen Fang's open interview method called Lu Bei Cen couldn't help but smile wryly. It's no wonder that seven hours of material can be produced in a half-hour program.

However, this topic, the story is really quite strong.
