Li Wei was woken up by the alarm clock and opened his heavy eyelids. It was already seven o'clock in the morning. Now she takes an administrative class and arrives at the TV station at 8:30.
Get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, and comb your hair. I made an omelette, sandwiched it between two pieces of toast, and drank a glass of hot milk, which was enough to make up for my breakfast.
Then I opened the closet and looked for clothes to wear to work. There is no need to appear on camera, and there is no need to dress so formally. The weather was hot, so she chose a black shirt skirt, buttoned it up, and tied it with a bright belt. The TV station was not allowed to wear open-toed sandals, so I had to wear stockings and white open shoes. Then I put on makeup and sunscreen in front of the mirror. Before going out, I checked whether the water and electricity were turned off, took my sunhat, and closed the door while holding the car keys.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and she drove the car out of the garage. It was already 8:20 when we arrived at the TV station building. She entered the elevator, stopped on the seventh floor, and walked into the office at exactly 8:26.
Turn on the computer and make tea. The busy day begins.
In the past, this was the time to check manuscripts and watch video clips. Some proper nouns should be pronounced several times to prevent mistakes. You have to have lunch at eleven o'clock. When you come back from lunch, you have to go into the dressing room to prepare. You have to show up at the studio on time at twelve o'clock.
But now there is no need to prepare for these things, no need to memorize press releases, and no need to prepare clothes. After taking more than a month's leave, I already lost my place when I came back.
She drank her favorite Xinyang Maojian and quickly browsed the headlines of major websites, ranging from social news to finance, education, and entertainment.
She saw a piece of news about Zhao Qian in an entertainment section.
"Popular actor Zhao Qian is suspected of breaking up with Chu Shanshan and finding a new lover." She only glanced at the title and ultimately did not click in to read the details. His gossip had nothing to do with her.
Over there, we were on location and received a tip-off hotline from the masses. We were already busy packing our things and getting ready to go out. The director team was busy watching short films in the computer room. Everyone is busy with things, but she seems to be a superfluous person.
In addition to reading news from various places in the morning, she helped correct a manuscript, made two copies, and went to the consumables department to pick up two boxes of paper and a box of pens. There was no water in the drinking fountain in the afternoon, so she went downstairs to carry a bucket of water. Except for the cameramen and reporters who go on location, everyone in their department gets off work relatively early.
It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people in the department. Li Wei had nothing to do, so he stayed until the end. She helped clean it, closed the windows everywhere, and was about to leave.
At this time, I received a call from my mother.
"I'm fine recently. I've returned to the TV station and am busy with other work. Well, I'm fine. Don't worry about me..." Li Wei hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.
It had been almost a week since she had been doing nothing like this, and she had become a little girl doing odd jobs in the department.
Li Wei turned off the light and moved to the door to go back.
It was not yet the rush hour for get off work, and the road was not congested at all. Now before five o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things to fill the refrigerator.
I made dinner for one person and went for a walk in the community below after the meal. After I came back and took a shower, I ordered a foreign movie to watch. It was only half past nine when I finished watching the movie. She applied a facial mask and took care of her skin. It was only ten o'clock when I lay down in bed and got ready for bed.
The curtains reflected the light of the street lamp not far away, and the situation in the house was clearly visible. She stared at the shadow on the curtain blankly, curling up but unable to fall asleep. After tossing and turning several times, the text message rang.
She reached for her phone and looked at it. It was from her second brother.
"Already asleep?"
Li Wei quickly replied: "Not yet. Did the second brother work overtime today?"
"Well, I didn't get home until after nine o'clock."
"You've worked hard, go to bed early."
"I was cleaning up the house yesterday and found a lipstick that you left behind. When will you pick it up?"
"I'll come over when I get some time off."
"How are you doing at work?"
"Okay."
Li Wei edited the text message and relaxed. Two minutes passed, and Li Jianbo didn't reply to her message. Li Wei thought to herself that her second brother was asleep, so she didn't take it to heart.
After a while, the phone suddenly rang. Li Wei quickly pressed the answer button.
"Second brother, I thought you were already asleep."
"Just lying on the bed. Wei, when will you take a vacation?"
"Maybe next Tuesday, what do you have to do?"
"Tuesday? I have a day off, so let's go out for a meal together. How about that?"
"Okay, we'll contact you then."
The brother and sister said good night to each other on the phone. After hanging up the phone, Li Wei was still not sleepy. She turned on the light, picked up the novel on the bedside and flipped through a few pages.
Li Jianbo on Cuiwei Road also couldn't sleep. He walked out of the room, poured a glass of red wine and tasted it slowly. The city was still brightly lit and bustling, but they seemed to have nothing.
Li Wei wasted a few days with nothing to do, and she finally took the initiative to find Minister Hou.
"Minister, I would like to make some job changes."
Hou Guangyao was not surprised by Li Wei's intention to come and asked calmly: "Where do you want to be transferred?"
"Let me go to the location crew. I want to run on location."
"There are several interns here, and we have enough manpower."
See, Li Weiwei lowered his head. His career was obviously stable, but he didn't expect that he would have nothing when he came back from an illness. She was a little down.
At present, the department is very full of staff. Minister Hou thought for a while and pointed out a way for Li Wei: "How about you go see Deputy Director Guo and see if there are any vacancies in other column groups and whether there are any programs that are still available?" We are short of a host. Currently, our department is overcrowded. There are a few people who came in through connections, and I cannot accept it, so I ask for your forgiveness.”
After all, she has been in the Information Department for nearly five years, so she can leave just now? Li Wei was a little reluctant, but she still went to see Deputy Director Guo once.
Deputy Director Guo had some impressions of Li Wei. After listening to Li Wei's story, he was silent for a long time and then said: "You can wait patiently for a while until there are personnel changes later. Don't worry, there will definitely be a suitable position. Now Well, how about a transition first?”
At this point, what else could Li Wei say, he could only agree.
Still returning to the news department, Li Wei was determined not to waste time like this anymore, so he went to the computer room and began to delve into post-editing processing. This kind of work lasted for several days, and she had already figured out the set of techniques, and she could occasionally help with it.
