Chapter 1423 - Charcoal in the Snow
PS: Thank you for the tip!
The agreed date for the charcoal delivery event is November 22, which is much earlier than similar activities by other charities.
Because this winter came relatively early, it was only at the end of November, and the temperature in South Korea had already dropped to about minus 10 degrees.
On this day, Cui Zhengyuan waited in the office early, and at about nine o'clock in the morning, the agreed program team arrived on time.
This event will be produced as a special program that will be broadcast live on HBC.
At present, when the comprehensive editing channel is not in operation, Cui Zhengyuan can choose to cooperate with very limited TV stations.
KBS, a state-run television station, has always been impartial and staunchly centrist on such a sensitive issue.
MBC was originally Park Geun-H's camp, and at this time, it was too late to avoid suspicion, and he was even more reluctant to stand up.
SBS can't promote the other party's political figures because of the camp.
In the end, it was Choi Jung-won who decided to let HBC form a capable team to be responsible for this broadcast.
Originally, Li Haoyu didn't really want to take over this job, so as not to be labeled as pro-party by the outside world.
However, he, the president, did not have as much power as Cui Zhengyuan, the general manager, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
It stands to reason that such a program should be recorded in advance and then broadcast after post-editing.
But time is not waiting for anyone, and tomorrow there will be an explosion of the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island, which shocked the whole world.
By that time, the attention of the whole country will certainly be focused on military conflicts.
No matter how good their program is, it will not attract the attention of the public in a short time.
The PD in charge of this program is a man in his thirties, which is a backbone of the TV station's production team.
Although it does not have the ability to deal with it all, it has also begun to emerge and belongs to the talent pool of TV stations.
"You're on time, how about we, shall we leave now?" The camera is right in front of you. Cui Zhengyuan pretended not to see it, and naturally received them.
"Yes, we can go." PD is not a man of many words.
Cui Zhengyuan walked to the side of the hanger and picked out a very old and simple clothes to put on. "This dress was worn by my father back then, and this time I had to sacrifice it for the sake of the event."
Delivering coal is a dirty job, and basically every time it's done, people become disgraced. So last night Gilly helped him rummage through the cabinets and searched for a long time to find an old clothes that he didn't use.
I heard that this dress is so historical, and the camera deliberately gave a shot.
Choi Jung-won put a coat on top of his old clothes. The people who followed the program team left the office.
When a group of people walked downstairs and were about to get into the car, Cui Zhengyuan felt a chill on his face. When I looked up, I realized that there were snowflakes in the sky at some point.
"It's snowing, the first snow of the year." In the crowd, I don't know which sensual woman shouted.
Others reached out curiously, touching the cold sensation of the snowflakes falling on their skin.
Only Cui Zhengyuan sighed and said, "Today's event is quite timely, and winter has advanced so much. ”
The group drove to their destination. There are already a lot of people waiting.
Coincidentally, when Cui Zhengyuan arrived, Luo Jingyuan's motorcade also arrived at the same time.
"Aunt Luo, wow. You're not fashionable today. As soon as they met, Cui Zhengyuan made a joke while giving him a hug.
It's not, compared to the usual fashion sense. Today's Luo Jingyuan is much more simple.
Wearing a gray cotton coat, and a certain old cotton hat buttoned on his head.
Luo Jingyuan slapped him dotingly, and said angrily: "We are here to work today." I'm not here for a beauty pageant, why do you wear so beautiful. ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the large squatter hut in front of her made of simple wood and cotton cloth, and said with some confusion: "What kind of place is this?" ”
Sean, who had been standing quietly all along, explained. "Here are nine. Dragon, is the largest slum in Seoul. There are more than 2,000 households living here, most of whom are elderly people. Because there is no electricity supply and no heating equipment, they have to rely on burning coal for heating in the winter. ”
When he introduced this, Sean looked sad. Apparently he was a regular visitor to the area and was very familiar with the area.
He pointed to the distance across the road and lined with high-rise buildings and said, "Although this place is close to the river. South, but no one cared about it. Since the Olympics in '88, it hasn't changed here. I really hope that the parliamentarians will come here to take a good look and seek a solution. ”
With his explanation, the group of people who were still talking and laughing all fell silent.
Looking at the simple, dirty, and gray environment in front of them, many people's expressions became unbearable.
In stark contrast to this place is the proudest river in Korea. South.
Even if they stand here and look out, they can very well point out the places they have been haunted and played.
But they never noticed that there was such a poignant place under their noses.
Cui Zhengyuan looked at Jiang. In the direction of the south, he looked at the environment in front of him again, and said with a sigh: "The people here have been looking at the prosperity, but unfortunately the prosperity has never favored them. ”
He obviously noticed that Luo Jingyuan, who was standing beside him, was trembling throughout his body.
There were already rare tears flashing in the big bright eyes, perhaps stimulated by the real reality.
He can guarantee that before today, Luo Jingyuan must not have known that there were nine. The dragon is stored in this place.
No one will sue him, because there are many people who don't know about it.
Even if you take out the most detailed map of South Korea, maybe this area is not marked.
I don't know how long it has been, Luo Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have done too little." ”
It was such a sentence that made Sean, who was originally very reserved, awe her.
There is no doubt that Luo Jingyuan is a politician.
But instead of trying to cover up the things that upset their faces like other politicians, she happily admitted her shortcomings.
This is already precious, and it is not very easy for ordinary people to be able to do this.
It was the first time she had met Sean today, so she kindly asked, "I don't know what you call it yet?" Thank you very much for providing us with such a good opportunity to give warmth. ”
Cui Zhengyuan introduced it on the side. "This is the singer Sean, and there is no kinder person in the entire Republic of Korea."
"Huh. How can Executive Director Cui say that? I just did what I could. Sean's face turned red and he looked embarrassed.
"Over the past ten years, Sean has done a lot of charity activities every year to help many people in need. It is a remarkable feat to have such perseverance. Choi Jung-won praised Sean sincerely.
Originally, Luo Jingyuan thought that the singer in front of her was just a master who used charity to gain fame.
But when I heard that he had been doing charity work for more than ten years, I couldn't help but be in awe. "What a wonderful person, I believe that your love must not be in vain, and it is worth learning from all of us."
Next, Choi Jung-won introduced Bigbang members TOP and Daesung to Na Jeong-won who came with Sean, because they came to gain popularity. So it doesn't matter.
On the side of A.P Company, Kwon Ji-ryong and Cho Kyu-hyun of Dark.L, Hyuna and Ji-yeon of GirlsGeneration were also pulled in by Choi Jung-won.
Hyuna and Ji-yeon and Luo Jingyuan are old acquaintances, and it is naturally lively to meet.
When Choi Jung-won introduced Quan Zhilong and Cho Kyu-hyun, Luo Jingyuan curiously swept around the four boys. "You're all boys, and you're both idol groups, so you should have a good relationship, right?"
She simply didn't understand, so she rashly asked such an embarrassing question.
This made Quan Zhilong, Cao Kuixian, TOP and Dacheng, the four of them squeaked for a long time, and they didn't know how to answer.
It was Cui Zhengyuan who relieved them by joking. "It's all good on the surface. In fact, I can't wait to fight every day. ”
Obviously, what he said was the truth, but the artists living in this circle have never said it so bluntly.
Therefore, his words made everyone laugh, somewhat diluting some of the gloom just now.
"Success is not easy, and it takes a lot of factors. You're all young. The road ahead is also very long, and if we help each other, we can go further. Luo Jingyuan was like an old mother again, teaching the four restless boys earnestly.
Choi Jung-won's gaze turned to So-yeon, who had always stood quietly behind Luo Jingyuan. "How is it, are you still used to the life of the assistant councillor?" ”
Su Yan smiled and pushed her glasses, "Inside." Because I've done it before, it's not very rusty. The seniors around me also taught me a lot, and I realized that it was also a very fun job. ”
Seeing her confident and calm response, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't be more satisfied. "That's good, but there is a lot of work for the councillors, and you must always be in the best condition so that you don't go wrong."
So-yeon hurried to be taught. "Inside, I see."
As he spoke, a truck carrying coal slowly drove over.
Looking at the cart full of coal, everyone was speechless. If their estimates are correct, this is at least a few dozen tons.
Cui Zhengyuan explained: "Because everyone is very busy, they can't come here often. However, it is very inconvenient for the elderly to travel, and it is very difficult to buy coal. So today, everyone is more tired, and distributing these can make the people here have a warm winter. ”
Don't look at the lot of coal in this truck, but the 2,000 households that are distributed here are actually not much.
According to Cui Zhengyuan's estimates, this coal is enough for them to use for a month at most.
But that's good enough, and there are other charities besides them.
The successive donations, in the case of a small amount, will be very helpful to solve the heating problem of local residents.
After the truck was stable, Sean, Quan Zhilong and others took out a lot of trolleys.
Because there is no smooth road surface here, they have to use manpower to get coal in.
Some of these steep sections even need to be carried on your back.
With so much coal sent down, it is conceivable that everyone will be tired today. (To be continued......)
