After leaving the hotel, Xiao Zheng drove home.
There is a constant flow of people on the roadside. There are office workers who are busy at work walking quickly, and there are second-generation rich people who are lavishly spending money. The streets are filled with neon billboards. The chill of early winter cannot dissipate the intensity that permeates the air. In this political and cultural center, too many people’s dreams have been buried, and it is also suffering the ravages of the economic frenzy.
Xiao Zheng has never been a literary young man, but his current status still makes him sigh.
Before returning to China, he thought he had experienced enough, but what he saw and heard in the past few years made him sober up. During those five years overseas, all he experienced was the fragility of life. But now, what he is facing is the ugliness of human nature.
Overseas, if he dies, he will die. But now, his concerns are growing. He couldn't let anyone down, and he couldn't let anyone go. Living seemed to be more difficult for Xiao Zheng than death.
Stopping at a red light intersection, Xiao Zheng rolled up the window, picked up the mineral water and took a few sips.
"Xiao Zheng!?"
Suddenly. An unusually surprised voice suddenly came from the car next door. Because of the complicated road conditions, Xiao Zheng could not hear clearly, but his hearing was excellent and he still found the direction from which the sound came.
When he turned his head, he saw a mature and attractive face peeking out of the rear compartment on the left front. There is a pair of rimless glasses on the high bridge of his nose. In addition to being attractive, it also has an intellectual beauty.
"Monitor Zhang?" Xiao Zheng took a closer look and recognized the other party's identity. The face shows the joy of meeting fellow villagers. said excitedly. "Why did you come to Yanjing?"
Zhang Lan.
Xiao Zheng was the monitor in high school. Divorced young woman. He has a face, a body, and abilities, and he is still a figure within the system. I met Zhang Lan by chance at the Pearl Class Reunion. He also accidentally got involved in the personal conflicts between the other couple. It's thrilling and impressive.
Of course, even without that unexpected experience, Xiao Zheng would not have forgotten monitor Zhang who was very popular during his student days.
Zhang Lan had a mature and charming smile on her face, waved her white hands, and then made a gesture in her ear. Indicates talking on the phone.
After all, we are on the road, and the red light is about to pass. Xiao Zheng smiled and dialed Zhang Lan's number.
"Hello." As soon as the call was connected, a magnetic alto voice came from the other side of the phone. It was squad leader Zhang Da.
"I said, monitor Zhang, are you on a business trip?" When meeting an old classmate, he was one of the few old classmates who didn't treat Xiao Zheng coldly because of his poor performance. Xiao Zheng is very enthusiastic.
"What's the official business? I've been transferred here for almost a year." Zhang Lan pursed her lips and smiled.
"Then what organization do you work for now?" Xiao Zheng joked. "Maybe I will still be able to use you somewhere in the future. We are all old classmates, so you won't have any reservations about me, right?"
"Where is that?" Zhang Lan said with a smile. "I currently work at the Radio, Film and Television Bureau."
"Radio, Film and Television Bureau?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "That's a good unit. It seems that our squad leader Zhang has been promoted again."
Xiao Zheng knew that just a few years ago, the Radio, Film and Television Administration and the General Administration of Press and Publication merged. As a result, the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, which was already extremely powerful, became even more alarming. Zhang Lan was able to squeeze into this system because he still worked in the capital. It can be imagined that Zhang Lan has not been idle in the past few years, and he is getting better and better at work.
Secondly, Xiao Zheng noticed that Zhang Lan was taking a bus. There are also dedicated drivers. There must be quite a bit of energy in the system. It cannot be the same as before.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Xiao Zheng learned that Zhang Lan often went abroad in the past two years, firstly to study and exchange, and secondly to get gold plating. After being promoted, he went directly to the Beijing Radio, Film and Television Bureau to work as an official in the deputy office. It can be said that he is young and promising, with a bright future.
"Monitor Zhang, are you going home?" Xiao Zheng was in a good mood and wanted to ask Zhang Lan for a drink and catch up on old times. However, considering that he is, after all, a very popular official within the system. It’s hard to say it directly.
"No. I'm going to a dinner party. It sounds like a dinner party, but it's actually part of the job." Zhang Lan explained with a wry smile.
The dinner party Zhang Lan was about to attend was a major event in the entertainment industry. There will be many celebrities present at the dinner. Many film and television companies, including publishing figures, will also attend. During this period, discussions about copyright, cooperation, and even the promotion and investment of some movies that are destined to be big hits will all be discussed on such occasions.
The nature is very complex, but it is undoubtedly a grand event for the entertainment industry. Zhang Lan's attendance can be regarded as a representative of radio and television. Play a regulatory role to a certain extent.
"Is it so lively?" Xiao Zheng said with envy. "Wouldn't it be possible to meet many big stars?"
"With your current status, can't you still meet big stars?" Zhang Lan has been traveling frequently in the past two years, but he doesn't pay much attention to domestic developments. But I heard from an old classmate that Xiao Zheng was also on the News Network. It can be seen that Xiao is definitely the number one figure in the market now. Zhang Lan, who works in radio and television, knows very well that who can show up on Xinwen Network without some energy behind him
"Hey, what kind of big stars can I, an office worker, see? Senior monitor, please don't shudder at me." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Zhang Lan also smiled, paused briefly, and then continued: "How about you and I go over and take a look? It's okay to just understand the market. Anyway, I went over, just to eat and drink, nothing happened."
This is said lightly. It actually means a lot.
Xiao Zhengyang is just an ordinary businessman, or an insider in the film and television industry. If others saw him and Zhang Lan walking so close. It will definitely be a lot more convenient to work in the future. You know, this is someone from Radio and Television. If something is to be put online in the future, there can be a backdoor in censorship. Such a character will inevitably become the target of wooing by the giants in the film and television industry.
Zhang Lan's decision was also suspected of repaying a favor. After all, Xiao Zheng was tortured enough because of her.
"Okay. I'm worried that I don't have a place to relax at night. It might as well go and see the world." Xiao Zheng paused, then said embarrassedly. "It won't cause you any trouble, will it?"
"It's okay." Zhang Lan smiled and shook his head, then made an appointment and hung up the phone.
At the entrance of a five-star hotel.
Xiao Zheng parked the car and strode towards Zhang Lan, who was waiting for him at the door.
He was wearing light gray work clothes with a snow-white shirt underneath. Fair skin, mature smell. The pair of glasses on her face may seem like a cover-up, but in fact they add a bit of intellectual beauty to her.
What a seductive young woman.
"Sir monitor, I haven't seen you for two years, you are getting more and more beautiful." Xiao Zheng complimented. That's true.
Zhang Lan gave Xiao Zheng a helpless look: "You are still the same as before, and you are always unforgiving."
