Chapter 34
After Bai Xiaonian finished speaking, Tang Zheng looked at Lin Nuan. Just after drinking a glass of wine, Lin Nuan's face and neck were already flushed with an unnatural flush.
Tang Zheng's heart jumped. He originally planned to force Lin Nuan and make her slightly drunk, so that Fu Huai'an could come to save the girl he was in distress and let her have a better impression of herself. But if Lin Nuan is really allergic to alcohol, the show will collapse!
After another hour, a small red rash appeared on both sides of Lin Nuan's face.
"Allergies to alcohol are not trivial!" Tang Zheng stood up and picked up his cigarette case, lighter, and car keys from the table. "I'll take you to the hospital!"
"Mr. Tang!" Bai Xiaonian was one step ahead of him, and had already arrived at Lin Nuan's side, hugged her and said, "You have been drinking, and it is inconvenient for you to drive." My car is parked downstairs, I'm sorry, I'm leaving with Lin Nuan.
Tang Zheng watched Bai Xiaonian hurriedly take Lin Nuan away, her bag was already in her hand. Tang Zheng couldn't believe it, even if it was his corpse, Bai Xiaonian thought of running away at the last moment.
...
As soon as Lin Nuan got in the car, Bai Xiaonian took out allergy medicine and prescribed a bottle of mineral water to Lin Nuan.
"I've asked before, this medicine doesn't react with alcohol......"
Lin Nuan's face was itchy. She took the pills and mineral water handed over by Bai Xiaonian, raised her head and swallowed the pills, feeling that this action was very difficult.
When he sat down in Bai Xiaonian's car, Lin Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, physically and mentally exhausted, as if he had just experienced a battle.
She could still feel the burns on her face, her bag vibrating endlessly.
Bai Xiaonian thought that it must be the vice president who called to teach them a lesson, she felt that the ringtone was very annoying, and said, "Couldn't he sponsor you well?" That's not to say that you all take sponsors for granted. Why should the money used up in advertising be taken back because he doesn't feel the female anchor? How shameless are they?
Lin Nuan lowered her head and took out her mobile phone from her bag. Seeing that it was Miss Xia calling, she picked up the phone and said, "Miss Xia......"
"Is your face okay? If you can't get on tomorrow's broadcast, I'll find a replacement. Miss Xia's voice was still calm.
Lin Nuan pulled down the mirror and looked at his reflection. Based on past experience, she says, "I can do it tomorrow without affecting the live performance."
"That's good."
Just when Miss Xia was about to hang up the phone, Lin Nuan said, "Miss Xia, thank you today......"
On the other end of the phone, Miss Xia was silent for a while before replying, "Hurry up to the hospital."
It took about half an hour for the car from Jiangman Garden to Lin Nuan's house, and because she took the medicine in time, after the medicine took effect, Lin Nuan's face quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and the red spots on it gradually faded. These traces are invisible unless someone pays close attention.
Opening the door and entering the house, Lin Nuan asked, "What do you want to eat?"
When they were drinking, Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian didn't even touch the chopsticks, they were very hungry.
Bai Xiaonian did not answer. Bai Xiaonian didn't speak during the whole journey of sending Lin Nuan home, until Lin Nuan asked her this question, and she said, "I'm thinking about changing jobs......"
Lin Nuan's hand paused as she put the bag on the shoe cabinet, and she looked back at Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian smiled lightly, closed the door, and said, "Haven't I been writing for the food column of E.N magazine?" Their editor-in-chief has been inviting me to join them, so I'm going to go over.
Bai Xiaonian, like Lin Nuan, can't accept the unspoken rules of the industry.
The narrow space at the entrance is filled with silence.
"Having stubbornly been in this position for so long, I see everyone desperately fighting for a chance to show their face on the screen, to give gifts...... Even give away their bodies. I find it boring.
Bai Xiaonian looked at the floor-to-ceiling window when he spoke, avoiding Lin Nuan's eyes.
Coming out of college, the three ladies walked together. One has embarked on the road to a bright star and become a popular female star, and the other is ready to become a food column editor of a magazine - only Lin Nuan has taken a small step on the road to being an anchor.
And once, among the three, Bai Xiaonian's dream of becoming a news anchor was the strongest and firmest.
Because her mother used to be the best news anchor on national television, she has won numerous journalism awards internationally.
Since Bai Xiaonian's mother died, becoming the anchor of the late-night news on national television has become the target of Bai Xiaonian's pursuit.
Lin Nuan picked up the key that had just been placed on the shoe cabinet and said to Bai Xiaonian, "Let's go out to eat."
...
As soon as Lin Nuan left, in the face of the flattery of the vice president of Haicheng TV, Tang Zheng felt bored.
Halfway through the meal, Tang Zheng pretended to receive a phone call and said that he had something urgent to leave.
As soon as he got in the car, Tang Zheng called Fu Huaian and lit a cigarette. Hearing that the call was answered, he threw the lighter to the passenger seat next to him, started the car, and asked, "Old man, where are you?" If you haven't had lunch yet, let's go have a meal together, shall we?
Tang Zheng knew that Fu Huai'an was a workaholic, so he might not have eaten at the time, so he called and asked, of course, this was the answer he got.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Zheng drove to the CapitaLand Group building to pick up Fu Huai'an.
When Tang Zheng arrived, Fu Huaian was still settling down to work.
He leaned on the big desk, with a cigarette in his mouth, and while signing the document, he instructed his assistant Xiao Lu, "Hongyuan Branch will meet in Shanghai next week, you call Vice President Dong and ask him to give Hongyuan's manager a reason." Call him low-key these days......"
"Okay!" Xiao Lu nodded, put away the documents, then nodded to Tang Zheng and left.
Tang Zheng watched Fu Huai'an spit out a puff of white smoke and extinguish the cigarette, he sat on the sofa and asked, "Can we go?"
Fu Huai'an nodded, walked around the desk, picked up the blazer on the back of the sofa chair, and the box of cigarettes and lighters on the table. He casually pulled out another cigarette and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Tang Zheng originally wanted to persuade Fu Huaian to smoke less, but he had a cigarette between his fingers, so the words changed when they came to his mouth.
"Your addiction to smoking is growing.
Fu Huai'an put on his coat and was silent, white smoke coming out of the corners of his mouth.
...
After Tang Zheng returned to his hometown, he has always missed the taste of Sichuan cuisine in the countryside. The best Sichuan chef in Haicheng works in Shu Garden, so Fu Huai'an chose to eat in Shu Garden.
After the two parked the car and got out of the car, Tang Zheng saw Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian sitting by the window.
"Didn't she go to the hospital because of an alcohol allergy?"
Tang Zheng saw a few bottles of empty beer on Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian's table, he couldn't believe that the faint amber liquid in the glass in front of Lin Nuan was tea.
Finally dealt with it, Tang Zheng was really moved by Lin Nuan - she escaped with self-harm......
Seeing that Fu Huai'an looked over, Tang Zheng explained: "At noon, I met with the vice president of Haicheng TV for dinner, and specially called Lin Nuan to come. I'm going to find fault with her, and I'll call you over when the time comes, so you can rescue the girl in distress. Unexpectedly, Lin Nuan would leave after drinking a glass of wine under the pretext of being allergic to alcohol. I was even going to apologize to you for this while I was eating, but I didn't expect that as soon as I turned around, she would be drinking with the person who was going to drive her to the hospital...... Don't you think it's all fun?
Through a glass window, Lin Nuan noticed two pairs of eyes staring at them, and she turned around...... And paused.
Fu Huai'an and Mr. Tang, whom she met at noon, were standing not far away, and they both looked at themselves.
Especially that Mr. Tang... He looked at Lin Nuan with a playful smile and a bantering gaze.
Lin Nuan's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, she quickly turned around, pretending not to see anything, and her heart was pounding.
Why is that sponsor with Fu Huai'an?
Seeing the glass of beer next to his left hand, Lin Nuan still had some hope in his heart that the sponsors did not see.
Other things are fine, but if the sponsor tells the radio about this and finds out that Lin Nuan is not allergic to alcohol and just uses this as an excuse to escape, she can imagine that in the future, Lin Nuan will have no excuse to run away for a scene like noon.
Seeing Lin Nuan's tense body as if he was about to fight a huge enemy, Bai Xiaonian also looked out the window, but saw nothing.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Nuan shook his head. Hoping that what happened just now was her imagination, Mr. Tang didn't really see her and Bai Xiaonian sitting here.
Hehe, what a coincidence, what a coincidence to meet you here......"
Tang Zheng's grinning voice made Lin Nuan's back stiffen.
As he spoke, Tang Zheng was already smiling and standing next to their table. He looked down, and his gaze at Lin Nuan seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Bai Xiaonian probably didn't expect them to see "Mr. Tang" there, she looked up at Tang Zheng's big eyes flashing with horror...... The alcohol was stuck in her throat and she didn't know whether to swallow or do nothing properly.
