Section 487 Confession
Fuji Television office.
Just finished the afternoon broadcast of current affairs in Tokyo, Nangong Fumiko walked out of the studio and returned to her office. Looking at the dark sky outside the window, she sighed softly, "It's about to rain!"
In the eyes of outsiders, the host of a TV station, this is a glamorous and decent job, just put on makeup and wear beautiful clothes to read the script to the camera, and you can get a high salary after working for a short time every day, which is really easy and happy. But only the host knows that every broadcast is a high-load physical and mental work for them, because the program is broadcast in real time, and there is no possibility of editing and modification, so every broadcast cannot tolerate a trace of error, let alone the slightest omission and sloppiness.
Before each broadcast, Nangong Xunzi has to repeatedly preview the manuscript to be broadcast, and she has to read and even recite the dozens of pages of current affairs manuscripts, check the pronunciation of some obscure words in advance to avoid mispronunciation, and prepare on-the-spot comments on various current affairs - these tasks must be completed in just half an hour after getting the manuscript.
Preparation is important, but that doesn't mean it's foolproof. For real-time live broadcasting, sudden and unexpected events on the scene are always emerging, so for the host, psychological calmness is also very important, no matter what happens, even if there are gangsters rushing into the studio with guns or the TV station is on fire, the host must maintain a calm and calm attitude to face the tens of millions of TV viewers in front of the TV.
The host of an ace column often symbolizes the image and face of a TV station, and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. Therefore, although he is already an experienced host, Nangong Xunzi is still trembling in the daily column. Until the director made an OK gesture, she didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and every time the show came down, she was sweating behind her back.
It was only when she returned to her office that she was finally able to relax. She silently looked at the rainy sky outside the window, and began to miss it again in her heart: whenever it rained, she would think of the night she and Xu Yan had, which was also a rainy night.
He was stupid to wait for him at the gate of the Chinese army's camp in the rain, and after waiting for a day, a girl actually did such an abrupt thing - every time she thought of this, Nangong Xunzi couldn't help but Xia Fei's cheeks, and her heart was shy and sweet.
Now, Nangong Xunzi has figured out that Xu Yan originally had no intention of dating him, but he took pity on himself and didn't want to embarrass himself too much, so he had that night's date.
"Xu Yizuo is a powerful man who can fight monsters, and many people think that he must be a very rude and vicious person. But who knows? The real Xu Yizuo is actually a gentle and kind big boy! He couldn't bear to watch himself make a fool of himself as a girl, and deliberately tolerated me. β
Nangong Xunzi did not regret her recklessness: if she hadn't waited for that whole day, how could she have exchanged for that beautiful memory? The experience of that night has been deeply engraved in her mind, making her unforgettable for the rest of her life.
The only regret is that that night did not have a happy ending. He was kidnapped by a terrible madman, and Xu Yizuo was also seriously injured by the madman in order to save himself.
After that night, Nangong Xunzi never saw Xu Yan again, and she never heard from him anymore - not only did she not get news of Xu Yan, but everyone had no news of Xu Yan, and this once hot superhero suddenly disappeared from the Japanese public's view.
Afterwards, the investigators of the Chinese army found Nangong Xunzi and asked her to investigate the events of that night. Nangong Xunzi cooperated with the investigation and told the truth about the situation, and at the end of the conversation, she plucked up the courage to ask, "I'm sorry, but may I ask... Did Xu Yizuo's injuries get better? That night, he seemed to be badly injured... Can I visit him?"
"I'm sorry, Colonel Xu was seriously injured, and now he is recovering from his injuries, and it is not convenient for him to contact outsiders. β
The investigators replied coldly, and there was no disguised disgust in their eyes, which made Nangong Xunzi very sad. She lowered her head gloomily, her heart full of guilt: it was precisely because she suddenly asked Xu Yizuo to come out that she caused a series of things to happen later, which caused Xu Yizuo to be seriously injured.
According to traditional Chinese sayings, the person who hurt Xu Yizuo was an unlucky woman. Xu Yizuo's colleagues hate themselves, and it's not for nothing. After that night, Xu Yizuo never contacted him again. Come to think of it, he also hates himself as an ominous woman, right?
Thinking of this, Nangong Xunzi couldn't help but feel sad: even if Xu Yan rejected her confession, she still didn't want Xu Yan to leave a bad impression.
"I don't know how he is now, is his injury healed? That night, he seemed to vomit a lot of blood, and he was seriously injured... β
Nangong Xunzi was immersed in her own memories when suddenly, the call bell on the table rang. She came back to her senses and pressed the answer button: "Hey, I'm Nangong!"
A familiar voice came from the phone: "Nangong, I'm Minister Kinoshita, please come to my office immediately." β
Hearing the call of her boss, Nangong Xunzi didn't dare to slack off, she hurriedly tidied up her clothes, walked quickly to her boss's office, and bowed to her boss behind the desk: "Hey, minister, are you looking for me?
Minister Kinoshita was looking intently at a material in his hand, and when he heard Nangong Xunzi's greeting, he put down the materials in his hand and looked at Nangong Xunzi seriously: "Nangong, you're here! The latest ratings survey report has just come out, and the ratings of the Tokyo current affairs column you are in charge of seem to have dropped again this week... Nangong, you have to come on!"
"Hi Yi! I'm sorry to disappoint you! I'll do my best, please rest assured!"
Nangong Xunzi bowed deeply, but felt a little aggrieved in her heart: although she is the host of the column, the ratings of the program do not depend entirely on the host, and the content of the program also has a lot of weight. Recently, the Tokyo current affairs column lacks quality and impact news topics, and it can't grab first-hand news, so the attraction to the audience has naturally declined.
Minister Kinoshita helped down his gold-wire glasses, and he looked at Nangong Xunzi silently for a while, with sympathy in his eyes. Then, he shook his head and said, "Nangong, you work hard, we all know it." Now, I'm afraid it's not you who can solve the problem by trying. The management department has just held a meeting, and it has been decided that by next week at the latest, if you can't get the ratings back to the level of the same period last year, then the management department will have to consider changing the host of the Tokyo current affairs column. β
Hearing the news, Nangong Xunzi felt like she had been punched head-on, and she was stunned. She asked in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, minister, may I ask, which host does the business department plan to arrange to replace me?"
"Now the initial consideration is Miss Akiko Kudo. Akiko's sports programs have always been very popular, and the management department hopes to use her popularity to boost the ratings of current affairs in Tokyo. β
"But, Minister, you know the reason for the decline in the ratings of current affairs ... I'm not passing the buck, it's just that we can't get exclusive first-hand news, so no matter how hard I work as a host, we can't attract audiences. Even if Ms. Kudo were to replace me, she would face the same problem.
Minister, with all due respect, the problem is on the content side, and simply changing the moderator is not the solution to the problem. β
Minister Kinoshita sighed, and he said: "Nangong, you are right, the ratings of the show have declined, it is not your responsibility alone, it is really unfair to let you take responsibility alone."
However, in order to increase the ratings, it also requires the joint efforts of all the staff, whether it is the planner, editor, reporter or host, they all have to work hard!
Ms. Kudo, she has promised the management department that if she gets the opportunity to host the Tokyo current affairs program, she will be in charge of communicating with the Ministry of Defense and getting the scoop on the Ministry of Defense for us, and we will never fall behind other TV stations when it comes to military news. Nangong, as you know, right now, the people are most concerned about the military news, and if we can take the lead in this regard, the management department believes that the current unfavorable situation will soon be reversed. β
Nangong Xunzi was surprised: "Miss Kudo, she actually made such a promise?
"Ms. Kudo has an uncle who is a deputy minister of a ministry in the Ministry of Defense. The other day, her uncle visited us personally to take care of his niece. The management department believes that with such a reliable channel, Ms. Kudo's commitment should be reliable. After all, he is a vice-minister, and he should be able to arrange a few military interviews and reveal some inside information to us. β
Nangong Xunzi blinked, and suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted: the other party has such a channel, how can she resist? She lowered her head weakly: "Hey, I understand... Thank you, Minister, for your advance notice, and I will be ready for the transition. β
Kinoshita looked at her sternly and drank: "Nangong, cheer up! You still have more than a week, are you going to give up?"
"But, Minister, I really don't have any faith at all... I can't communicate with the military or the Ministry of Defense, and I can't get first-hand information, so how can I compete with Miss Kudo?"
"Such a depressed and spiritless look, this is not the Nangong I know! Nangong, you also have your advantages! You have hosted current affairs programs for a long time, your image is elegant, skillful, your image and hosting style have been familiar and accepted by the audience, and there are many fans who are familiar with and support you. In terms of professional qualities, Miss Kudo is obviously not as good as you... It's not that easy to get you out of the host position. As long as you find a way to increase the ratings a little bit in this week or so, even a little bit, I will be able to help you speak for you!"
Nangong Xunzi looked at the minister, only to feel a warm current in his heart, and he was very moved. She said sadly, "But, Minister, there is only one week left, and I really can't think of any good way." β
"Alas, Nangong, you're really a fool! I heard, aren't you on good terms with Xu Yizuo, the superhero of the Chinese army? I heard that he also dated you?"
Suddenly mentioning Xu Yan, Nangong Xunzi's heart suddenly jumped: "Minister, I don't understand what you mean... β
"Although Xu Yizuo is Chinese, he saved Tokyo from monsters and nuclear bombs, saved tens of millions of lives, and the people of all Japan have always respected and appreciated him, and the people have always been very interested in the news related to him, and they want to know more about him.
Unfortunately, because of the discipline of the Chinese army, Xu Yizuo has never accepted an exclusive interview with any news media... Nangong, if the exclusive interview with Xu Yizuo was completed by our Fuji TV, this would definitely be explosive news, and the ratings would definitely soar!
If you can complete a personal interview with Xu Yizuo, you will also become famous and become the ace host of all Japan, and when the time comes, who will be able to shake your position?"
Listening to the minister's persuasion, Nangong Xunzi's heart shook slightly: What the minister said seems to be very reasonable, should he try it with Xu Yizuo?
Then, Nangong Xunzi secretly scolded herself: Nangong, you are really a shameless woman! You are not Xu Yizuo's person, how can you use Xu Yizuo's fame to help yourself make profits? By doing so, you are blaspheming Xu Yizuo's trust in you!
Nangong Xunzi raised his head and shook his head firmly: "Minister." Although I know Xu Yizuo, we are just ordinary friends, just acquaintances. I'm going to give him an interview - I'm sorry, Minister, this kind of thing is really beyond my ability, I'm afraid I can't do it. I'm so sorry!"
Minister Kinoshita looked at her deeply, and after a long time, he sighed and lay down on the back of the chair behind him: "Nangong, would you rather lose the column than ask Xu Yizuo?"
Nangong Xunzi bowed deeply: "I'm sorry... Thank you, Minister, for your continued care of me, and I'm sorry to disappoint you!"
The minister stood up and looked at the sky outside the window, and after a long time, he shook his head: "Nangong, your insistence really makes me incomprehensible... Nangong, I heard that your family is an overseas Chinese from China, this is the righteousness that you Chinese adhere to, right?
Since Nangong you have already made a decision, I won't say more. Nangong, don't give up yet, think of other ways, I will also support you... β
At this time, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a clerk probed in in a panic to take a look, and when she saw Nangong Xunzi, she suddenly shouted: "Miss Nangong, great, you are really here!
"Ah, Ms. Kosaka, are you looking for me?"
Seeing someone rudely barging into his office, Minister Kinoshita got angry and shouted, "Hey, Kosaka, what's going on?"
Ms. Kosaka hurriedly bowed: "I'm sorry Mr. Minister, because an important person just came to our TV station and asked to see Miss Fumiko, and Mr. Chairman ordered us to find Miss Fumiko immediately." But we couldn't find her in Miss Fumiko's office, and her cell phone went unanswered. We thought, Miss Fumiko might be in your office, so we recklessly came over... Sorry, this is our rudeness!"
"An important guest came to Nangong and actually alarmed Mr. Chairman?" Minister Kinoshita was surprised: "That important guest, who is he?"
"Your Excellency Xu Yizuo from the Chinese Army! Xu Yizuo personally came to our TV station, and he wanted to see Miss Nangong. Our front desk lady recognized His Excellency Xu Yizuo and immediately reported it... Now, Chairman Amano had invited Xu Yizuo to the VIP lounge, where the chairman and several ministers were there, all waiting for Miss Fumiko to come over. Mr. Minister, the chairman has instructed, please Miss Fumiko come over as soon as possible, and you can't let such a distinguished guest as Xu Yizuo wait for a long time. β
"Xu Yizuo is here? He personally came to our TV station to see Nangong?"
Minister Kinoshita glared at Nangong Xunzi fiercely, he was very unhappy: Nangong, you obviously have such a good relationship with Xu Yizuo, he came to the TV station to find you in person, and you actually said that you were just an ordinary friend, and said that you couldn't invite him for an interview?
But at this time, Nangong Xunzi was also ignorant, her eyes were dazed, her face was crimson with excitement, and she looked at Minister Kinoshita: "Minister, look... β
"Why are you still stunned? Xu Yizuo is here in person, how can you make him and Mr. Chairman wait for a long time? Why don't you go over quickly-oh, do you want to put on makeup and go over?"
"Xu Yan came to me, he came to me!"
Stunned by this sudden surprise, Nangong Fumiko was so excited that her feet were weak, she hurriedly walked out, Minister Kinoshita chased after her, shouting: "Nangong, come on! This is a rare opportunity, you want to show your charm and take down Xu Yizuo! The entire Fuji TV - oh no, the whole of Japan is cheering for you!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fuji TV, a cafΓ© across the street.
Nangong Xunzi was dizzy, her face was flushed, as if she had just drunk a whole bottle of red wine.
"I'm so sorry, Xu Yizuo, I didn't expect my colleagues to be so rude... Sorry to tire you up. β
Thinking of the scene just now, Xu Yan couldn't help laughing: after being recognized at the front desk, the chairman of Fuji TV quickly came down and welcomed himself to the VIP living room, and then, he was surrounded by the TV station staff who rushed to hear the news, some took pictures, some asked for autographs, and some asked for group photos... The people were so enthusiastic that they couldn't get around, and even the chairman's orders didn't work. In the end, it took a long time for Nangong Xunzi to break through the encirclement of his colleagues and escape from the TV station building with Xu Yan, and behind them, there was a warm whistle, applause and cheers.
Holding a cup of coffee, Xu Yan smiled and said, "Nangong, the person who should be sorry is me." I didn't make an appointment and I came over to visit out of nowhere and caused you trouble. I originally thought that you had seen so many stars, you should not be able to chase stars, but I didn't expect your colleagues to be so enthusiastic. β
Nangong Xunzi bowed his head and apologized: "The person who should say sorry is me." Actually, if it were just an ordinary star, colleagues wouldn't be so out of shape, but you are different, in the minds of our people, a hero like you is far more attractive to everyone than any song and dance movie star.
Not only are you a superhero with mysterious powers, but you are also handsome, and you are no longer under any idol star. In Japan, there is already a trend of worshipping you, and among young people, your appeal is extraordinary, and news related to you is a hot headline... Oh no!
Nangong Xunzi suddenly shouted: "Xu Yizuo, just now, did my colleagues take pictures of you?"
"It should be," Xu Yan shrugged: "Many people are holding their mobile phones at me, they should be taking pictures or videos." β
"That's bad!" Nangong Xunzi was worried, she said softly: "Xu Yizuo, although it is very bad to say bad things about your own company, but Fuji TV, since they have taken your photos and videos, they must be going to make news - the scoops related to you are all hot, and it is definitely impossible for the station to let go!"
"Special News: Just now, Mr. Xu Yan, the first member of the Chinese army, personally visited my Fuji TV office. At Fuji TV, Xu Yizuo just met with Chairman Amano and other executives of Fuji TV, and also had an intimate meeting with Miss Nangong Fumiko, a famous host of our station, known as a national beauty... β
Nangong Xunzi felt very worried, she even thought about the content of the news - this kind of scandal news about the super popular hero Xu Yan, can the news department of the TV station let it go? That's what the hell!
Thinking of the trouble that might be brought to Xu Yan after this news was broadcast, Nangong Xunzi was very anxious, and she said: "Xu Yizuo, please quickly notify the Chinese military advisory group and ask them to make urgent representations with the Japanese government, and do not let Fuji TV broadcast this news! Please hurry up, otherwise the news may be broadcast soon!"
Xu Yan didn't look in a hurry. He held the coffee cup, carefully stirred the milk with a spoon, and said with a smile: "It's been broadcast, I went to the TV station to visit friends, and I didn't go to Kabucho to have fun, and I wasn't afraid to let others know." β
"Xu Yizuo, this will cause you trouble, right? Especially, you are here to visit me... I'm worried that this will have a bad impact on your reputation. β
"It doesn't matter. Xu Yan said calmly, he said: "In the future, the relationship between me and you will be open sooner or later." This kind of thing can't be hidden for a while. It's not something to be seen for, and there's no need for us to dodge. β
Nangong Xunzi was stunned: "Xu Yizuo, what do you mean by this? I don't really understand what you mean." β
Xu Yan avoided Nangong Xunzi's eager gaze, and his gaze kept staring at the desktop: "Well, in general, I am a man with many shortcomings... I'm a little lazy, I'd rather stay at home and surf the Internet than go out, and I often wear a coat for a week and don't bother to wash and change... I haven't had a girlfriend before.,I don't know how to get along with girls.,I don't know how to coax girls.,It might make you angry.γγγ I don't know Japanese, but I'm willing to learn, learn Japanese, and learn Japanese customs and culture, please give me time...
The most important point is that I am a soldier of the Chinese army. In China, if a girl is accompanied by a soldier, it means sacrifice and dedication. In order to fight those monsters, I also need to keep cultivating, and I can't return home for a few months or even a year and a half, which is probably commonplace, and in the future, I'm afraid I won't have a lot of time to spend with you.
Nangong, can you endure these shortcomings of mine and accept such a man?"
Nangong Xunzi covered her mouth, she couldn't believe it, happiness came to her head so suddenly? Could it be that she was dreaming?
The situation in front of her was so beautiful, so beautiful that she couldn't believe it, so beautiful that she thought she was dreaming. She said in a trembling voice, "Xu Yizuo, what do you mean? Please don't make fun of me."
You know that I have always liked you, I have always admired you! You are a big man in the Chinese army, please stop teasing me! If you suddenly say such a thing, I will really take it seriously, please stop teasing me, okay?"
Xu Yan looked at her, and he said calmly, "I'm serious. Fumiko, please believe in my sincerity. I'm sincere in my confession to you, let's start dating, okay?"
The tears finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst out of their eyes, blurring Nangong Xunzi's vision and the smiling face of the man opposite. She couldn't wait to speak, but she was so excited that her throat was choked and she couldn't speak, and in her eagerness, she could only nod desperately and burst into tears.
"I do... I am very willing! But, Xu Yizuo, how can an ordinary girl like me be worthy of you? Xu Yizuo, I really can't accept it, there should be a better girl worthy of you... β
Looking at the girl in front of him shaking her head while crying, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel pity. He reached out and held Nangong Xunzi's hand, he didn't say anything, just sat down beside her, reached out to protect her shoulder, and took her into his arms.
Feeling Xu Yan's body temperature and breathing his fresh man's breath, Nangong Xunzi was intoxicated. Her whole body relaxed, and she hugged Xu Yan's body tightly, for fear of losing it, and refused to let go.
This girl, because of excitement and ecstasy, she didn't notice one thing: today, in Xu Yan's confession to her, from beginning to end, he didn't say the word "I love you".
"Click, click", at this time, Xu Yan heard a slight sound of the camera shutter, he looked up, and saw that at the door of the cafΓ©, someone was holding a camera to shoot at himself. Seeing the discovery, the reporter didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly turned to leave, looking very panicked in his stepsβit was obvious that he was frightened by Xu Yan's strong reputation. With Xu Yan's status in Japan, he is already qualified to be unreasonable. He just beat up the paparazzi who were secretly filming on the spot, as long as no one died, no matter how bad the beating was, no one would take care of him.
Xu Yan frowned slightly, but at this time, Nangong Xunzi was still holding herself, and the soft fragrance was in her arms - this romantic time was really not a good time to be rough.
Xu Yan hesitated slightly, but still didn't get up to stop the reporter: Let him go!
Although Yan Tiansha is a demon sect, she has a saying that is very much in line with Xu Yan's appetite, a dignified cultivator, why should he care about the attitude of secular officials and countries? Do what he wants, dare to speak and love, and not be bound by the mundane, this is the bearing and style that a transcendent cultivator should have.
