On Liu Tao's issue, I actually feel more complicated.
Don't look at Cheng Hua as a big star that everyone is looking forward to, and I often wonder why he would take a fancy to such an ordinary me. But, after all, we have gone through long years of growing up together. In my heart, no matter how great he is, he has never reached the point where he stands alone. No matter who he is now or who he will be in the future, to me, he is the bad boy who sat at the same table with me, copied my homework, robbed me of my site, and sued me in front of the teacher.
But Liu Tao is different.
Although Liu Tao is nothing in the eyes of most people, he is just an ordinary intellectual, but since the day I met him, he has always been a god-like existence in my heart. With a few strokes of his hand, he can straighten out my incomprehensible manuscripts. He can seem unintentional, and he can explain the pros and cons of the topic in just a few words. Most of the things above work, Liu Tao always To be able to lightly turn decay into magic, what was very difficult in my eyes, has become a piece of cake in front of him.
Therefore, although Cheng Hua is an idol in the hearts of the public, in my heart I am still the boy I grew up with, and Liu Tao is truly an idol in my heart.
I think it's inevitable for any girl to have thoughts about her idol. In this regard, I don't think there is any shame in liking Liu Tao. It's just that when Cheng Hua and I talked about love seriously After that, the matter of idol worship was put on hold, so at this moment, I suddenly couldn't handle the relationship between me and Liu Tao.
In the past, when Liu Tao's subtle actions and expressions revealed a faint affection for me, I would always feel sweet, but now, it makes me extremely at a loss. I dare not think of this kind of intimacy as affection anymore, because I can't respond. But I was always suspicious of the certainty in Liu Tao's eyes, as if he had already known my feelings for him and was just giving me encouragement.
If it is the intention of pursuit shown by ordinary men, I can be regarded as a man of fame and fortune now, and I can take it as ignorance, or outright rejection. But Liu Tao is different from other people after all. Second, he seems to be acquiescing to me instead of actively pursuing me. I guess, this kind of acquiescence is because I was too attentive before, so he had to do it. Point out the response.
Therefore, the current me feels very stuck. Since I haven’t revealed anything, I can’t openly say to him: “Mr. Liu, I was only obsessed with you at the beginning, but now I just worship you, and there is no other meaning.” If I said that If Liu Tao treats me like a teacher treats a student, a superior treats a subordinate, or a brother treats a younger sister, then I will feel ashamed.
So every time I face Liu Tao with such ambiguous meaning, I can only secretly comfort myself that I am thinking too much.
Even though I comforted myself in this way, I still smiled and lowered my head without leaving any traces, let the hair slip from his hands, pretended to look for something in the bag at my feet, and said in my mouth: "Mr. Liu has taken good care of me so much. , thank you for everything.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Liu Tao's hand froze slightly, and I retracted it as if nothing had happened, without saying a word.
I was a little tangled in my heart. I didn't know if the action of avoiding hurt his self-esteem, but I didn't know where to start with the current situation, but he didn't speak anymore, so I kept silent. And this silence was maintained all the way. For two full hours on the plane, the atmosphere between Liu Tao and I was so weird that we didn't say a word, and finally I fell asleep dully.
When I was woken up by Liu Tao's shaking, the plane had already come to a solid stop, I opened my eyes in a daze, and the Liu Tao in front of me was already the man I knew well, with a warm smile, a warm voice, and a calm and calm look in my eyes , I felt relieved, as expected I was thinking too much.
The reception was held that night, but Liu Tao said that when we arrived, we would first visit this weekly entertainment magazine that had been published for three years, so as to understand how the seniors operate, so we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, and Liu Tao and I He hurried to the editorial office of Southern Entertainment Weekly. In the field of Entertainment Weekly, we are just getting started, so as the big brother in the industry, I am indeed very curious about them. However, I didn't think that our visit and study would receive much attention. After all, there are not a few media who have come here in the past few days. However, I didn't expect Liu Tao to have a friendship with the executive editor-in-chief here. When the two met, they had a good chat. We both enjoyed a very high standard of reception.
Because I received us very thoughtfully, until the reception started, my mind was so full that I couldn't function. One was that remembering the names of various seniors took up a lot of my brain cells, and as a The director of the editorial department of our weekly magazine came here with the purpose of learning this time. He must understand clearly. As a successful entertainment weekly magazine, from topic selection to publication, how to operate all the processes is the most optimized. When we go back, we will have a template to refer to, so as long as it seems to be useful, I will try my best to cram it into my mind.
Due to my limited brain capacity, I was always digesting and assimilating these things, and I seemed a little absent-minded. So at the reception, when someone patted my shoulder and greeted me affectionately, looking at the familiar face, I For a few minutes, I couldn't remember who this handsome guy was.
"Du Mo, don't tell me you forgot who I am? Don't say that we are old classmates. We just met in Hong Kong a few days ago, okay? You hurt my self-esteem too much, don't you?"
"Oh." I suddenly realized, "Jia Yaoyang, you're here too?"
"Yes, we are one of the sponsors of this reception. How are you? I heard that the department has been transferred recently, and Quanying has become a colleague?"
"Well, in fact, we were colleagues before, but this time even the department is the same." Jia Yaoyang and I were polite, and when we saw Liu Tao coming from the corner of the eye, we quickly introduced them respectfully, "Yaoyang, this It is our executive editor-in-chief, Mr. Liu Tao and Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu, Jia Yaoyang, my middle school classmate, is now the vice president of public relations of XX brand in Greater China.”
The two men shook hands politely, I grabbed a gap and slipped aside to let them chat by themselves.
I found a corner with few people and sat down, drinking a drink while watching the movie on the big screen. When the advertisement of Jia Yaoyang's brand flashed by, I caught sight of Cheng Hua. I know Cheng Hua signed an advertising contract with Jia Yaoyang and his company in the end, but this was the first time I saw the poster. When I saw Cheng Hua's poster, I remembered that I promised to call him after landing, but it was after getting off the plane. , I didn't have a moment to spare, so I forgot about it. Because I was attending the reception, I wore a simple little dress. I had no place to use my phone, so I kept my phone in my handbag. When I took it out, I realized that there were already several missed calls from Cheng Hua.
Just as I was about to call back, Liu Tao walked towards me, and I temporarily put down the phone again.
"Your classmate seems to be in charge of their brand's media placement. Let's discuss cooperation with him when we have a chance." Liu Tao said, and sat down beside me.
"Isn't that the job of the advertising department? Why do our editorial departments worry about these things?" I asked. In my heart, editors and reporters only need to write good manuscripts, and advertising and other things will naturally have to be advertised.
Liu Tao shook his head and smiled at me, "Your point of view is too backward. Most of the editors here have more direct contact with the brand, and it is easy to establish a good cooperative relationship. Naturally, each department has its own main responsibilities, but everyone is for the sake of The development of our weekly magazine is better. Even as a news media, benefit is always the first, so the editorial department must also realize income."
What Liu Tao said was somewhat bureaucratic, which made it a little difficult for me to understand, but obviously I didn’t need to understand it right away, so I didn’t ask any further questions, and just replied copingly: “Okay, Mr. Liu , I have the opportunity to ask Jia Yaoyang about the project."
At this moment, someone came over to say hello to Liu Tao and exchange business cards, so I stood up sensibly, offered my seat to the visitor, and went to the bathroom to make a phone call.
After Cheng Hua received my call, her tone was rather resentful, "You forgot me again."
"Busy, I haven't been idle all this time, why don't I hurry up and call you now."
"Hmph... I can't believe I'm so busy that I don't even have time to make a phone call." Cheng Hua complained.
I knew he was acting like a spoiled kid on purpose, so I didn't explain much to him, and just asked him, "What are you doing?"
"I miss you!"
"Tsk, seriously."
"I miss you seriously."
I was finally amused by him, "Okay, then you can continue to think about me seriously, I will go to work first."
Before I hung up the phone, I heard him yelling over the phone, "Don't you miss me?"
When I passed by the mirror in the bathroom, I turned my head and looked at myself in the mirror, with a smile on my face, and my face was full of spring/color, I thought to myself, this is the so-called ordinary happiness, just a phone call, a few words, can inadvertently Smile so brightly.
At that moment, I never thought about how long such happiness can last.
When we returned to the hotel after the reception, it was already very late. When we were saying goodbye in the corridor, I felt that Liu Tao seemed hesitant to speak, so I hurriedly made a gesture and yawned again, and got into the room .
The next day's schedule was quite full. In the morning, I held a very boring so-called experience exchange meeting with several media colleagues. After having lunch together, the receptionist organized everyone to visit one or two nearby places of interest. By the time I got to the airport, I was exhausted again, too sleepy to keep my eyes open.
When I was dozing off on the plane, I vaguely heard Liu Tao murmuring in my ear, "Momo, if you persist for a while, you will get better. I will never let you work so hard in the future."
In a daze, I always felt that this seemed to be a promise between lovers, not a guarantee from a leader to his subordinates. I was shocked and woke up, but when I looked at it from the side, Liu Tao was clearly dozing off with his eyes closed, thinking secretly, This is probably just me making Cheng Hua trouble these few days. I was too nervous about Liu Tao, so I had auditory hallucinations.
When we got off the plane, it was already dark, and Liu Tao and I walked out of the airport. Someone in a car parked at the door called my name. I saw a very strange face peeping out of the car window, waving at me. I hesitated for a while, and the man said, "Du Mo, it was Wei Jie who asked me to pick you up."
I immediately understood that this must be Cheng Hua's idea, so I said to Liu Tao, "Mr. Liu, then I'll be leaving first." Before Liu Tao could reply, I opened the door and got into the car. But he was pulled into a familiar embrace immediately.
