Huajing West Station.
Zhang Dongyao walked out of the crowd carrying a very old backpack.
The distance from here to Huaxia TV's Big Pants is only 15 kilometers, and a taxi costs about 40 yuan.
But even with this money, Zhang Dongyao was reluctant to part with it, so he took Line 7 and Line 10 directly to the door of Big Pants.
Taking out the same old mobile phone, Zhang Dongyao made a call and went out. Within a few minutes, a young staff member ran out.
"Are you Teacher Zhang Dongyao? My name is Xiao Lu, and I answered the phone just now." She said enthusiastically, "Director Du is having a meeting with the leaders who came down from above. She specifically asked me to please come and sit in her office. Wait a minute."
"Oh, okay, thank you!" Zhang Dongyao said politely.
Xiao Lu gave him a temporary entry and exit card, which had Zhang Dongyao's photo and name on it. Apparently Du Hongjuan had already arranged it for him.
The two entered the building, took the elevator to Du Hongjuan's office floor, and entered Du Hongjuan's office.
Zhang Dongyao didn't say anything along the way, but looked around curiously.
Xiao Lu resisted the idea of introducing him to him, fearing that it would be bad if he accidentally offended someone.
After all, this middle-aged man who looks a little down and out is the one who Director Du specially promised to receive well.
She has followed Director Du for several years, but she has never seen Director Du treat several friends like this.
The last person who had such a good relationship with Director Du was her twenty-year-old friend and a super celebrity in the entertainment industry, Teacher Lan Kailan.
But Zhang Dongyao is obviously a somewhat downtrodden middle-aged man. Although he is carrying a GUCCI bag, it is also a very old style and is still a bit damaged.
If you don't look at Director Du's face and know that this Zhang Dongyao must be extraordinary, Xiao Lu will definitely treat him as an ordinary migrant worker.
Since Xiao Lu was Du Hongjuan's assistant, she actually saw Zhang Dongyao's name on Chun Wan's first review of the program, but she didn't pay attention at the time.
You know, the first review is the most troublesome.
Because there are more than 500 programs, and there are more than 3,000 actors and singers alone. With so many programs and personnel, it is obviously impossible to remember everyone's name.
Big Pants has many floors and rooms. As Du Hongjuan is one of the top three people on the variety show channel, of course her office is in a suite.
After sending Zhang Dongyao to sit down and pouring him a cup of tea, Xiao Lu went about his business outside.
As the end of the year approaches, the Chunwan crew is one of the busiest.
Xiao Lu also has a lot of work. Basically, he has to work overtime until after ten o'clock in the evening before leaving the headquarters building.
So as soon as she buried her head, she forgot that there was anyone inside.
Unknowingly, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Looking up, a somewhat tired Du Hongjuan was back.
"Director!"
Xiao Lu said hello quickly.
"Yeah." Du Hongjuan nodded and said, "Where are the people?"
people
Xiao Lu almost couldn't remember.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang has been waiting in your room for a while." At the critical moment, Xiao Lu answered with hesitation.
Du Hongjuan put her bag on the desk next to her, took out a small makeup mirror, combed her hair and arranged her clothes before walking in.
Xiao Lu was stunned.
this…
Isn't the director going to meet his first love
Looking at their ages, they are really about the same age!
"Dongzi!"
Before Du Hongjuan closed the door, Xiao Lu heard such an excited shout.
She trembled with fear.
I wish I were not here at all, so that I would not be silenced by the director.
…
The situation in the room was certainly not what Xiao Lu thought.
After Du Hongjuan called Zhang Dongyao, her eyes became a little red.
Zhang Dongyao is more generous than expected.
He chuckled, "What? You have become the director of China TV Station, and you still cry like a child?"
"No way!"
Du Hongjuan let out a sweet cry.
Considering her age, speaking like this is inevitably a bit pretentious, but in Zhang Dongyao's view, this is still the elementary school girl who acted coquettishly to him when she was a little wronged.
"I haven't been to Huajing for many years. The changes here are really big!" After Du Hongjuan sat down, Zhang Dongyao said: "I just looked at it for a long time on the road, and then stood in the room for a long time. It was like a different world. !”
"So you should come to Huajing more often in the future!" Du Hongjuan pursed her lips and smiled.
"I'm not used to such an environment and competition!" Zhang Dongyao said, "I'm already behind this era. I just want to be able to sing for a few more years, serve my dad well, and bring up my children. This will be a lifetime." Accounted for!"
"Look what you said! I don't like you now!" Du Hongjuan glared at him, "How high-spirited and heroic Zhang Dongyao was back then? Don't talk about me. Even that guy Lan Kai, wasn't it because of admiration? Is that why you worked so hard in the record industry? He’s embarrassed to say it now, but wasn’t that the way it was back then?”
"That was all in the past." Zhang Dongyao said with a smile, "Xiao Kai is a nice person. He has called me several times over the years and asked me to come to Huajing and arrange for me to make records, but I refused... I really have no intention. Let’s make commercial records again.”
"But don't you need money now? Why don't you do it?" Du Hongjuan asked.
Only she can ask this.
Because in front of Zhang Dongyao, she was still the little girl she was back then.
"I have completely lost my reputation. I pushed it out, but the fans didn't buy it and the record company lost a lot of money! Isn't this a scam for the record company?" Zhang Dongyao said, "Even if Xiaokai can bear it, but I can’t cheat my friends like this!”
"But this time, Chun Wan, you signed up to participate!"
"I was also deceived!" Zhang Dongyao said, "That guy lied to me and said that there was a singing program on Heijiang TV station and asked me to sing a famous song from before, so I went... Who knew he actually signed me up? Come up! I only found out later! If I wasn't afraid that if I didn't come, he would be reprimanded and held accountable by the leader, I wouldn't have agreed!"
That’s what happened!
Du Hongjuan also smiled, "Then I have to thank him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to see you!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dongyao fell silent.
After a moment, he said: "Juanzi, it's my brother. I'm sorry for you... Don't be embarrassed this time. I know what my level is. Don't push me out by force. Do you understand?"
After a pause, he smiled and said: "This time, I am going to Huajing to meet my old friends, you, Xiaokai, and a few others... After all, can I come here for the second time in this life? I don’t even know anymore, but I have to seize the opportunity..."
