Chapter 9: Peach Picking!
On Monday, at the door of Jiangnan TV Station, Li Mu looked at the door of the TV station with mixed feelings, this is the place where he worked for the first time after graduation, which he has worked hard and succeeded. Today is the last time he steps in as an employee, and then he will leave gloomily as a loser.
Taking a deep breath and straightening his clothes, Li Mu stepped into the TV station with his head held high, he didn't go to his seat, and walked directly to Director Zhou's office.
"Knock knock" Li Mu began to knock on the door.
"Please come in"
"Li Mu is you, is there something wrong with you, a great hero, coming to me?" Director Zhou was a little surprised to see that it was Li Mu.
"Director, I'm here to resign today, you have helped me a lot and taught me a lot for more than a year, and I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart." Li Mu said what he meant.
"What, you're resigning? Li Mu, don't be impulsive, although Deputy Director He is not doing a good job, but after all, you are a producer appointed by the director, and no one dares to touch you easily. Director Zhou was surprised to hear Li Mu's intention.
"Thank you, Director, for your kindness, but I've already decided, so you can approve it." Li Muxiang has made up his mind.
"Alas, since you've decided that I won't say anything more, so let's go and meet the director with me." Director Zhou stopped persuading.
"I don't need to go to see the director, I'll pack up my things and leave." It is impossible for Director Wang to not know what Deputy Director He did, and if he didn't react, he acquiesced, Li Mu was very disappointed in him, and originally thought that Director Wang was a capable and courageous person.
"Goodbye, Director, I wish you good health and all the best." After Li Mu finished speaking, he left.
"Alas......" Seeing Li Mu leave, Director Zhou just let out a long sigh and didn't say anything.
came to his former seat, packed up his personal belongings, and said to the colleagues around him, "Comrades, I'm Li Mu gone, you guys work hard!" No matter what their reaction was, they walked out of the TV station without looking back.
After Li Mu left, he always thought that he would react.
"What's the matter, what did Li Mu say?"
"He seems to have resigned."
"That's what he meant!"
"What the hell happened, didn't Li Mu just become a producer, why did he suddenly resign."
"Hehe, you don't know yet, the people up and down his program group have been replaced, or it won't be long before even his host will be replaced, do you say he can be willing to be a puppet producer?"
"What's going on, you tell me more about it."
Not to mention how much of a sensation Li Mu's resignation caused on TV for the time being.
Out of the gate of the TV station, Li Mu felt relieved.
When I got home, I started walking to the bus station with my suitcase. On the way, I also posted a Weibo by the way.
"I planted a peach tree, but someone else picked the peaches!"
The Weibo post didn't attract attention at first, until a well-informed person learned that Li Mu had left Jiangnan TV, which attracted people's attention.
As Jiangnan TV changed all the people in the "Who Can Be a Millionaire" program team, people only knew what was going on.
"Li Mu, the host and producer of the popular variety show "Who Can Be a Millionaire", was fired today, which is said to have offended the top management of the TV station."
"The leader of a TV station actually forced away the heroes of the TV station for the sake of his niece's position, and his approach is chilling!"
The up-and-coming producer said someone had picked his "peaches". ”
"The author will take you to see a certain TV station comparable to a palace fighting drama."
"Subordinates plant trees, leaders pick peaches, what causes this phenomenon."
For a while, the three words "picking peaches" became popular, and Li Mu began to enter the public eye, the previous limelight was completely overshadowed by the show itself, and now people are officially paying attention to Li Mu, how a twenty-four-year-old young man who has just worked for more than a year produced such a popular show.
Li Mu didn't know that a Weibo post he posted casually would attract so much attention until Xia Yun called.
"Muzi, why did you resign, and posted a Weibo, do you know that now the Internet is all discussing you and the TV station, the director is angry, and Director Zhou has been reprimanded by the director. I just saw Deputy Director He go to the director's office and don't know what to discuss inside. ”
Only then did Li Mu remember that he had not told Xia Yun about his resignation.
"Sister Yun, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you about my resignation, two days ago, Brother Li came to me and invited me to him, and He Yimin changed all the people in the program team and wanted to empty me, so I wrote a resignation letter. That Weibo was just posted casually, but I didn't expect it to make such a big fuss. Sister Yun, you apologize to the director for me, I'm sorry for causing him. Li Mu said.
"Go and apologize yourself, where are you now?" Xia Yun asked.
"I'm at the bus station, I'm going back to my hometown and I'll be back next Monday." Li Mu said.
"You kid is running fast, so let's talk about it when you come back." Xia Yun hung up after speaking.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yun hung up the phone, and Li Mu had to wait until he came back. Then he called Director Zhou and apologized, and Li Mu was relieved to hear that Director Zhou was fine, otherwise he would be even more upset.
Put away your mind and get on the bus to my hometown. Li Mu's hometown is an ordinary village next to Zhongling County, called Lijia Village, but now half of the villagers are foreign surnames.
After two hours of bumpy ride, Li Mu finally arrived at the bus station in the county seat, and the old bus station was like this ten years ago in Li Mu's impression, and nothing had changed. It seems to be a microcosm of this small county, compared with the old city ten years ago, there is no change, but the county is surrounded by high-rise buildings, and modern communities are distributed around the county. If you ignore the old, low-rise buildings in the center of the county, they are not much different from some small cities.
Coming out of the bus station, Li Mu went to Tianhong Department Store, the largest shopping mall in the county, to buy some gifts for his parents. Li Mu bought a box of health wine, bought a bracelet for his mother, and then bought them a set of clothes and shoes.
It was inconvenient to take the bus with so many things, so Li Mu stopped a taxi and negotiated the price and drove home. Li Mu's village was on the edge of the county seat, and they arrived in ten minutes.
After getting out of the car, he walked to his house with his luggage and his parents' gifts, except for a few buildings, the whole village is basically a one-story bungalow, which is ready to be built with his own children after they get married, and Li Mu's family is the same.
Along the way, he met familiar people and greeted each other, and after learning that Li Mu was the host of the provincial TV station, he felt that the people in the village were much more enthusiastic than before.
"Li Mu, you're back, I've watched your millionaire show, and it's very good, our Lijia Village is going to have a big star! It's amazing. When you were young, the third uncle said that you would have a great future. ”
"Xiaomu, wait for the second aunt's house to come here, the second aunt has a lot of photos of girls here, one is more beautiful than the other, there are teachers and some are in government agencies, which second aunt do you fancy to help you say when the time comes."
"The big star is back, Jianguo (Li Mu's father's name) gave birth to a good son, and he will be happy in the future."
Seeing these relatives, Li Mu also greeted them one by one.
Soon came to the door of his yard, my mother was cooking in the kitchen, and my father was lighting the fire. Parents are only in their forties this year, and the perennial wind and sun have made them very old, and in the prime of life, their faces are already full of furrows, their backs are a little crooked, and white hair is beginning to appear on their heads, and Li Mu's eyes can't help but moisten a little.
The mother, who was cooking, seemed to feel something, and looked up at the door.
Seeing Li Mu standing at the door, Li Mu's mother said in surprise: "Xiaomu, why are you back, and you didn't say hello before." As he spoke, he ignored the dishes in the pot, took off his apron and walked towards Li Mu.
Li's father, who was burning the fire, heard his mother's words, glanced at Li Mu's place, and continued to cook.
His father has always been a person who is not good at expressing his feelings, but Li Mu still saw surprise and deep care in his father's eyes.
Refused his mother to help him with his luggage, Li Mu walked into the house with his things, although he didn't come back for a few months, Li Mu didn't feel the slightest strangeness, everything was so familiar.
"Mom, this is for you, don't you see if it's suitable?" He carried all his luggage back to his room, and then took out the gold bracelet and clothes for his mother.
"What are you going to buy when you kid comes back, it's a waste of money." Although his mother blamed Li Mu for spending money indiscriminately, the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
After frying, his father also came at this time: "Li Mu, you haven't eaten yet, hurry up and eat." ”
"Dad, don't be in a hurry to eat first, this is the wine and clothes and shoes I bought for you, you can see if it fits, don't drink too much wine every day." Li Mu said and took out the health wine and clothes he bought for his father.
Hearing that his son bought a gift for himself, Li's father was also very happy: "Then I'll wear it and see it, you go to eat first, it'll be cold later." Father Li said that he did not forget to ask him to go to dinner first.
"Mom and Dad, you try on the clothes first, and if it doesn't suit, I'll change it."
After his parents finished changing their clothes, Li Mu looked at it and it fitted well, and he was very happy that the size in his memory was correct.
After trying on the clothes, the family went to dinner, and lunch consisted of two dishes and one soup: stir-fried greens, tomato and egg soup, and stir-fried meat with chili. Li Mu knew that the fried meat with chili must have been a dish that his father added when he saw him coming, and his parents rarely ate meat.
The family finished a lunch happily, not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, but Li Mu felt that it was even better than that time in a five-star hotel.
After eating, his father refused Li Mu's request to wash the dishes, and asked him to go back to his room to rest and wash the dishes by himself.
