Chapter 39: A True and Touching Story
If you are a rich man, most of the people who encounter this situation will drive directly into the Peninsula Hotel and ignore the person who suddenly appeared, but Wei Xiong is not, he is now a singer and a public figure, so he must maintain his public image, especially on occasions like now.
If he really left on his own, then tomorrow's newspapers would definitely be indispensable to criticize him, and he would not be willing to do this kind of thing.
And he saw that the woman's face was full of excitement and sadness, as if something unfortunate had happened, and he suddenly felt inexplicable in his heart, and at the same time a little unbearable, so he lowered the window and asked a hotel security guard who was guarding the car door, "Is there something wrong with her?"
Before the security guard could speak, the woman actually knelt on the ground, and the originally noisy environment instantly became audible in the leaves, but then there was a burst of discussion, and the keen sense of news made the reporters present realize that they had encountered big news, as for what news?
Soon everyone knew.
The woman who stopped the car choked up and explained the reason for her actions, although she was a little incoherent, but the people around her understood what she meant, to the effect that her daughter was suffering from leukemia and had only more than two months left to live at most because she had not been able to find a suitable bone marrow for transplantation.
And the reason why she appeared here and made such a crazy move is because her daughter is a fan of Wei Xiong, and every time she can't sleep from chemotherapy, she can only sleep peacefully by listening to Wei Xiong's songs, and she hopes that Wei Xiong can go to the hospital to see her daughter.
When the woman spoke, Wei Xiong had already gotten out of the car, pulled the woman up with a security guard, and was kneeled by a person who was obviously older than him, which was really uncomfortable. Besides, there were so many reporters taking pictures around him, he couldn't even get out of the car.
At this time, he also saw the appearance of a woman for the first time, about thirty years old, a very beautiful and temperamental woman, but very haggard.
After the woman finished speaking, to be honest, he was moved, such a beautiful young woman with obvious good qualities was willing to disregard her image in front of everyone for the sake of her daughter, how determined she must be, and how many mothers in the world can make such a determination.
After a little hesitation, he said: "This young lady, I still have some things to do later, and it may be a little late after I am busy, why don't you leave me a contact information, how about I go to the hospital to visit your daughter tomorrow?" ”
"This ......" may be because of Wei Xiong's attitude, at this time, the woman's mood has obviously calmed down a little, looking at the dense reporters around and the constantly flickering magnesium lights, there is obvious uneasiness and restraint in her expression, and at the same time, she is a little undecided.
As Wei Xiong thought, her presence here today can be said to have summoned the greatest courage of her life, and this courage comes from despair and the responsibility of being a mother. But if she did it again, she didn't know if she would be able to do it, so she was worried that Wei Xiong was perfunctory to her.
Wei Xiong saw the woman's thoughts, smiled slightly, took out the wallet from his pocket, and then took out a business card from the wallet and handed it to the woman: "Since you don't worry, this is my business card, you call me at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, even if I am busy, I will go to the hospital to see your daughter." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wei......" Holding Wei Xiong's business card, the woman was like a treasure, and even a little incoherent with joy.
"Don't thank me, go back and take care of your daughter. After saying that, Wei Xiong walked directly into the Peninsula Hotel under the escort of the hotel security.
Leaving behind the woman who was still too happy to be herself, and some reporters with a keen sense of smell, they were not in a hurry to get in, what happened just now contained a lot of news points, and they naturally would not let it go easily, and it was best to know which hospital the cancer girl was staying in.
Soon the woman came back to her senses under the reporter's "siege", and was a little panicked, perhaps it was the first time she had encountered this kind of scene in her life, but fortunately two hotel security guards came to help, so that she broke out of the encirclement safely, and quickly got into a roadside taxi and left.
The whole process was a long story, in fact, it was only three or four minutes, but it made the reporters excited. Think about it: A desperate mother, in order to fulfill the last wish of her daughter, who is suffering from cancer and has only more than two months to live, disregards her own safety and blocks Wei Xiong's car, and then begs Wei Xiong to see his daughter, and Wei Xiong finally agrees to this heartbreaking request.
This is undoubtedly a true and touching story full of stories, and as long as it is operated well, it will surely attract widespread attention from the society.
……
The celebration banquet officially began at half past eight, and most of the reporters who had been guarding outside the hotel were allowed to enter the banquet hall after showing the invitation letter issued by Polygram, but the equipment they brought to take pictures and videos were stored at the reception and waited for the banquet to end.
This is a regular practice in the circle, in order to prevent reporters from secretly taking pictures at banquets, although it is an unwritten rule in the circle that no one is allowed to take pictures on such occasions, but no one can guarantee whether there will be a few reporters who have no principles and professional ethics for the sake of journalism.
Before the celebration banquet began, the president of Hong Kong Polygram walked on the stage, holding a glass of wine in his hand: "Thank you for coming, I have two things to announce before the celebration banquet begins, the first is about the sales of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf", as of December 7, that is, the day before yesterday, the total sales of the album have exceeded 2 million copies, becoming the highest single selling music album in Hong Kong's history. ”
In less than two months, the sales exceeded 2 million, which not only created history, but also was definitely a miracle that was difficult for latecomers to achieve.
There were bursts of exclamations in the banquet hall, just like the reporter of the "Oriental Daily", even if he had a guess in his heart, he still couldn't help but be shocked when the answer was announced. The next moment, many eyes fell on Wei Xiong, who was wearing a white suit and holding a wine glass, standing silently.
Wei Xiong stood in the front row on the left side of the stage, clearly feeling the gazes that were staring at him, but his heart was surprisingly calm.
He considers himself a low-key person, so much so that he never thought about holding any celebration banquet, of course, he did not refuse when Liu Zhizhe proposed, but he refused the proposal to speak on stage, because numbers are his best words, and simple speech is really boring.
Applause rang out, and Wei Xiong nodded and smiled politely at the people around him.
"The second is some news about Ah Xiong's second album, which is also the first Chinese album...... I now declare the dinner party to order. ”
