Chapter 496: The Root of All Evil
Yu Zhixin walked a few steps and found that Yu Youjia was still looking upstairs, so he naturally stopped and waited. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
During the whole process of meeting with Zhang Fengyi, Yu Zhixin didn't say much, personally paid tribute to Zhang Fengyi and promised not to take this matter to heart from now on, after the two sides shook hands and determined the relationship between Yu Youjia and Zhang Fengyi, he witnessed Yu Youjia and Zhang Fengyi calmly going back and forth, and gradually determined the future cooperation plan, steps, and even several projects agreed by both parties in the next year or two.
The content of these conversations is more long-term than Yu Zhixin and Yu Zhicheng could have imagined.
Yu Zhixin began to understand why his father valued Yu Youjia so much from the beginning, and why his brother also relied more and more on this nominal younger brother.
There are some things that you may never understand if you don't experience them yourself.
"Let's go, second brother." Yu Youjia came back to his senses and greeted Yu Zhixin.
"What is this thing that Zhang Fengyi gave you, do you really want to give it to the eldest brother?" Yu Zhixin looked at the gift box that Yu Youjia was holding very carefully, and always felt strange, "What gift can she give to her eldest brother?" Do you want to take it apart and take a look? In case something bad ......"
"She just said that I should hand it over to the eldest brother, but she didn't say that this is a gift for the eldest brother, and there are other people who can open the gift, so we still don't want to open it easily. I don't think it's a bad thing, on the contrary, it's supposed to be the one who needs to open the gift. Yu Youjia shook his head and said, and at the same time, he was even more convinced that Yu Zhixin didn't seem to know much about the dispute between Huayue and the children of other families over the sale of the floors of Zhongyang Mansion back then.
It seems that Yu Youjia was studying abroad at that time, and Yu Zhixin has been busy with the development of Huayue's downstream business. As for the inside story of Fan Xuebing and Yu Zhicheng's breakup, I'm afraid Yu Zhixin still doesn't know.
According to Yu Zhixin's thoughts, he only attributed it to the man's simple psychology of liking the new and hating the old, and it just so happened that Fan Xuebing was not the kind of character who was at ease with the demeanor of a good wife and mother, so even if he didn't know the real reason, Yu Zhixin also had a natural and calm attitude towards the breakup of the two. It's just that over the years, there have always been some rumors and rumors that have been heard by Yu Zhixin, although they are not widely circulated, it is enough to make him suspicious.
In this scandalous couple incident between Zhang Fengyi and himself, Yu Zhixin originally thought that Zhang Fengyi was going to use himself to blackmail Hua Yue and Fan Xuebing, but from Yu Zhicheng's nervous and inexplicable expression, he sensed that something was wrong. Yu Zhicheng only asked him not to take any action at that time, and his face was extremely ugly.
And now in the meeting between Yu Youjia and Zhang Fengyi, there are several times when they speak obscurely, Yu Zhixin feels that there seems to be a hidden secret, and Yu Zhicheng also knows that after thinking about the candidates, it seems that only he is still in the dark.
"The one who opened the gift? Isn't it Big Brother? Yu Zhixin wondered.
"This big brother will know." Yu Youjia glanced at Yu Zhixin and smiled, "I'm just a middleman, there's no need to figure out the ins and outs from beginning to end, knowing too much may not be of much benefit." ”
"But you seem to know everything." Yu Zhixin understood that Yu Youjia was not going to tell himself, and he was a little unhappy.
"It's not what I want to know, so I don't think it's a good thing now, at least I understand that the eldest brother is actually very unhappy." They were walking towards the parking lot at this time, and Yu Youjia took the car keys in his hand.
“…… It won't be ...... It has something to do with that secretary Tang in some people's mouths......" Yu Zhixin thought of something, and finally guessed it, and tested Yu Youjia in disbelief.
"If the second brother is really interested, you can ask the eldest brother in person. He knows it relatively well, but I don't know much about it, and I'm not sure if it's true or not, so it's not good to tell people casually. Yu Youjia interrupted Yu Zhixin's questioning, obviously not wanting to talk about it more.
"I asked Big Brother? Listen to your tone, if I ask him, he'll beat me, right? Yu Zhixin felt that Yu Youjia was a little unkind, and made it clear that this was a pit and let himself jump into it.
His expression was also very blunt in expressing his dissatisfaction.
But Yu Youjia knew that the atmosphere between their nominal brothers had never been so friendly as it was now.
Yu Youjia smiled softly, "If you're afraid of being beaten, then I'll accompany you, okay?" By the way, you're going home for dinner today, right? As he spoke, he was mischievous, pressed the switch of the car key, and was about to step forward to open the driver's door.
"I'll drive, I'll go home for dinner today. I always feel like I've done a big deal this time, and I can't sleep at night without asking. Yu Zhixin took Yu Youjia's car keys, stopped him, and sat in the driver's seat first.
Yu Youjia casually followed him, turned around and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
"Hey, you said you would accompany me to ask my eldest brother?" After inserting the car key, Yu Zhixin started the car, glanced at Yu Youjia, and suddenly muttered a reminder.
"Well, I will." Yu Youjia said that there was no problem.
Yu Zhixin nodded reassuringly, stepped on the accelerator, and galloped away.
*********************************************
The sound of water was rattling.
After dinner, Pei Yueyue washed the dishes.
Gu Lian wiped the bowl on the side, thinking about things while wiping, and wiped a bowl in his hand for a long time without changing it.
"What's wrong today? As soon as she came back, she looked a little absent-minded...... "Pei Yueyue washed another plate and put it aside, and found that Gu Lian was still wiping the bowl, so she couldn't help but ask out loud.
Gu Lian was still frowning, looking puzzled, and continued to make the same movements in his hands. Pei Yueyue really doubted that if no one reminded her, she would not hold that bowl and wipe it all night.
Last night, Shanghai Satellite TV's "Youth Cool Flying" program broadcast the second episode, and Gu Lian even said that it was not good after watching it. Because there was no Chenxing in the second issue, Pei Yueyue glanced at the TV and went online to manage the post bar and communicate with a few fans of Chenxing who had just met him. Chenxing also went to the study to read by himself. Tianjiao practiced what stick figures on the whiteboard in the living room by herself, occasionally looked back at the TV, and listened to Gu Lian's self-talk from time to time and hummed and sneered.
Gu Lian went out to the Shanghai TV Center early this morning, and came back in a hurry when he had dinner, and everyone had eaten half of the meal. As soon as Gu Lian came back, he didn't say anything, he didn't know what he was thinking while eating, he didn't eat a bite of the food in the bowl for half a day, or Pei Yueyue screamed a few times, Gu Lian suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly finished the meal.
Not only Pei Yueyue, but also Chenxing and Tianjiao all felt that Gu Lian's appearance was very strange. As if he knew what others were going to ask, Gu Lian glanced at them and said directly, "Don't ask anything, I haven't figured out what is going on." After speaking, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with Pei Yueyue, and came here.
Now Chenxing and Tianjiao are both staying in the living room, looking as if one is turning on the TV, the other is painting, each has something to do, and the eyes are glancing at the kitchen from time to time, of course Pei Yueyue can feel it, and Gu Lian Soul is reluctant to notice anything.
Pei Yueyue thought that Gu Lian didn't want to tell others something, but she would tell herself, and she didn't ask a word at first, just waiting for Gu Lian to take the initiative to speak.
Now that most of the dishes have been washed, Gu Lian is still thinking about something by herself, and she hasn't jumped out a word. And whatever she said to help wash the dishes, Pei Yueyue was doing it, she was responsible for holding a bowl or plate in a daze, and she didn't have anything to do when Pei Yueyue was done.
"Hey!" After waiting for a few minutes, seeing that Gu Lian still didn't react, Pei Yueyue snatched the bowl and dry cloth in the other party's hand, "What's wrong?" You didn't come back right today? If you can't say anything, just go back to your room, so that you don't have to look like you're full of worries and can't tell me anything in front of me. Pei Yueyue looked at her coquettishly, half angry and half concerned.
Gu Lian looked at his friend's gaze, was stunned before opening his mouth, and said to her, "It's not that I can't say anything, it's that I can't figure out what Lan Rouzhen is doing, I don't have a clue at all, and I can't tell you clearly." ”
"Then tell me, what happened to you so can't figure it out?" Pei Yueyue put away the clean dishes, chopsticks, plates and dishes, and after everything was cleaned up, she began to listen to Gu Lian intently.
Gu Lian no longer concealed it, starting with the launch of the second episode of Shanghai Satellite TV's "Youth Cool Flying" last night.
After watching the show last night, she checked the Internet response on the Internet, and found that the popularity of the online topic of this episode of the show still did not improve significantly, so she knew that the ratings were probably not good. The next morning, I didn't wait for the ratings of each station to be released on the Internet, and directly called the staff of the program team of the telephone station I was familiar with, but no one answered the phone. On the contrary, Li Chunnian took the initiative to call over and informed him that the ratings of the second episode of the program that he asked others to inquire about did not seem to be as high as the first episode, although it was not much worse, but this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the entire program team. Li Chunnian also said that early this morning, the entire program team was called to a meeting to agree on various plans for the follow-up of the program recording. When their team of players was training in physical fitness, they could see some TV station staff squatting at the scene discussing something in a panic. There is even a rumor among the contestants, saying that if the ratings of the next two episodes of this show are lower, they may be cut in half, and they can only go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers. In this atmosphere, the players had no intention of training, and they chatted together when they had time, so Li Chunnian heard a bunch of messy news that I didn't know if it was true or false.
"What nonsense! You go to check, when did Shanghai Satellite TV cut variety shows? No matter how bad the ratings are, even if they are below 0.5, they can be broadcast for at least one quarter, have you ever seen a new variety show launched by a TV station that was cut after only a few episodes? Unless the scale is too big and violates the rules, don't listen to what others say, just use your brain to think about it. No matter how low the ratings are, it has nothing to do with you, anyway, you just need to do it according to the requirements of the program team. The low ratings are only related to the TV station, and it is linked to the future salary and bonus of the TV station staff, of course people are nervous, what are you nervous about! Gu Lian immediately said Li Chunnian bitterly.
hung up the phone, in fact, Gu Lian didn't have much bottom, so he went out to the TV station without saying a word. For all those involved in the TV industry, ratings are the root of all evils and the source of all profits. The ratings are not as easy as Gu Lian said, the ratings are not good, the program team must adopt various tricks to improve the ratings, and in the process of the program's continuous adjustment for the ratings, whether the interests of the contestants are damaged or strengthened has become an unguaranteed thing. Gu Lian didn't allow himself to be unaware of this adjustment.
After going, I was told that the main members of the program team were in a meeting, Gu Lian didn't take it seriously, just waited outside the conference room, thinking that it would be over in half an to an hour at most. By the way, I chatted casually with other staff members of the program team outside, such as interns, and I might be able to hear something.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting? The wait was all morning, and the meeting was not over until their takeaway lunch was delivered! Gu Lian sighed unbearably and complained loudly to Pei Yueyue.
"Oh, that's waiting for you to die, it's hard work, come, give me a hug and touch ......" Pei Yueyue gently hugged Gu Lian, and comforted her softly.
Feeling the warm body temperature of his friend and the soft words, Gu Lian really felt a little better, as long as he didn't think about the next thing that would make him speechless.
