Chapter 329 The Past is Like Smoke

The rising sun casts a golden glow on the majestic CCTV headquarters building.

Early in the morning, in the office area of ​​the "Focus Interview" column team of the CCTV News Center, several female reporters were taking advantage of the morning break to chat about the shining stars at last night's Weibo Night.

"Sister Sisi, did you see the hot searches last night?" Intern Xiao Qin came over with a cup of coffee, her eyes sparkling.

Shen Sisi was sorting out the manuscripts, her fingertips paused slightly, and she responded softly: "I saw it, it's quite lively."

"I'm very curious about what news Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing heard from Qiao Zhengyu and Huang Xiaoming last night that made them so shocked!" The little girl sat aside, supporting her cheek with a curious look on her face.

After the ceremony ended last night, some famous scenes from the party were circulated on the Internet. One of the classic scenes was the shocked expression of Shuang Bing, which involved four first-line superstars and aroused a strong desire to explore among a group of netizens.

"Song Ci is so handsome, he deserves to be my male god! But the way he looks at Liu Shishi is indeed a little different, which makes me jealous." Another female reporter, Jiang Yun, stared at the photo of the richest man on the screen of her mobile phone, with a crazy look on her face.

When she heard the names Song Ci and Liu Shishi, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Shen Sisi's delicate face.

The lively Xiao Qin made a face at the female reporter who was a fan of Song Ci: "Song Ci is a playboy. He is married but still looks at female stars like this."

Shen Sisi gently closed the folder, her voice barely audible: "It would be great if he was really a playboy!"

Jiang Yun immediately perked up after hearing this: "What do you know, little girl? I'm asking you, if Song Ci came after you, would you be able to handle it?"

She even counted on her fingers, "Asian God-like face, worth hundreds of billions, famous writer... What's wrong with such a man being unfaithful?"

The intern Xiao Qin's mind flashed with the handsome face of the richest man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and he had to admit that he was really handsome.

If Song Ci really pursued her, how could she say no? She pursed her lips, blushed and said nothing.

"So, Xiao Qin, you are still young and have little social experience, so I will tell you something practical today!

For women, power and money are the tonics of marriage, great tonics! If a man has the appearance of Song Ci, he is simply one in a million, and you have to act quickly when you have the chance.

So I’m not afraid of people being unfaithful, I’m afraid of people not being unfaithful. Look at our host Zhou Da back then... "

“Sister Jiang, stop it.” Seeing that her colleague was getting more and more outrageous, Shen Sisi quickly interrupted her, “Also, Song Ci is not a playboy at all.”

Jiang Yun also realized that she had talked too much just now and stopped mentioning the host Zhou. After all, his status in the station was much higher than hers.

So he changed the subject: "Sisi, how can you be so sure that Song Ci is not unfaithful? Do you know him?"

Shen Sisi suddenly stammered and was unable to speak, and just buried her head in organizing the manuscript.

“Sisi, you don’t really know the richest man, do you?” Jiang Yun became curious when she saw Shen Sisi’s reaction.

"Oh, now I remember, you also graduated from Peking University. Song Ci is the most handsome man in Peking University for a hundred years. You must know him."

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Shen Sisi could only respond vaguely: "I don't know him, I just met him a few times at school. I didn't stay in Peking University for long, and then I went abroad to study."

Jiang Yun was about to continue asking questions when a colleague came over and said, "Shen Sisi, Director Li wants to see you and asks you to go to his office immediately."

Shen Sisi felt as if she had been pardoned. She quickly left the embarrassing scene and hurried to the leader's office.

"Director Li, are you looking for me?" Shen Sisi asked respectfully, while secretly looking at a guest in the office.

"Sisi, this is Mr. Dong Qian from the news channel!"

"Hello, Mr. Dong. I often watch the program Face to Face hosted by you. It is very exciting and has benefited me a lot."

"Hello Sisi, I've heard that a talented woman has come to Focus." Dong Qian smiled and nodded, exuding an unparalleled affinity.

After the greetings, Director Li got straight to the point: "Sisi, the leadership has instructed us to do a special issue on the fight against human trafficking on Focus Interview.

It just so happens that Tengda Weibo is promoting this charity event. I called you here because there is an interview assignment that requires you to go."

Shen Sisi suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart: "Who is my interviewee this time?"

"Song Ci, Chairman of Tengda Group!"

Shen Sisi's face turned pale instantly, and her voice changed: "Director, I can't do it, please let someone else do this task!"

Director Li was full of confusion: "Do you know what you are talking about? Interviewing the richest man, this is an opportunity that Director Jiang fought so hard to get, and you actually refused it?"

Even Dong Qian looked at this beautiful junior with curiosity. How many reporters dreamed of this opportunity, but this person actually turned it down.

It was really hard for her to understand. You know, interviewing celebrities is a great opportunity to improve a reporter's qualifications and reputation, not to mention interviewing the richest man and business leader Song Ci.

Shen Sisi kept shaking her head: "Director, I really can't do it."

"Give me a reason not to go." Director Li frowned and said in a bad tone, "Chen Sisi, this is the mission given to you by the organization!"

Shen Sisi had a lot of grievances that she couldn't express. It took her several years to heal her emotional wounds and let go of the past. Now her leader was forcing her to meet Song Ci, which was like asking for her life.

"Hmm?" Director Li became impatient when he saw his subordinate was wasting time and not responding.

A trace of bitterness rose in Shen Sisi's heart. She didn't know how to explain it to her leader. She couldn't tell him that she and Song Ci were old acquaintances and that they were in love but never together. She was afraid that the love would arise again when they met.

Director Li no longer had the patience to listen and made the final decision without question: "It's settled! I have already made an appointment with Tengda Group.

You and Teacher Dong Qian will go to interview Song Ci together in three days. You will be in charge of the anti-trafficking special for "Focus Interview". Dong Qian will do an interview for the "Face to Face" program.

Things have come to this point, the leader has given the task, and Shen Sisi can only bite the bullet and do it.

As soon as she left the office, Shen Sisi took out her phone and sent a message to her bestie on WeChat: “Jingyi, something big has happened. Guess who the director just asked me to interview?”

Sun Jingyi replied immediately: "Who?"

"It's Song poetry!" Shen Sisi felt her hands trembling. It took her a full minute to type just a few words.

"You don't want to go?"

Shen Sisi felt mixed emotions in her heart. The image of the boy holding an economics textbook and smiling at her by the Weiming Lake appeared before her eyes. She typed slowly: "I'm afraid to see him."

After a long time, Sun Jingyi replied: "Do you still love him?"

Shen Sisi's heart trembled, and she whispered: "He has always had only Liu Shishi in his heart. Does it matter whether I love him or not?"

On the sunny morning of March 18, Dong Qian and Shen Sisi led the CCTV team to the Tenda Technology Building.

Jiang Tiantian, director of the Group General Office and Chairman's Office, had been waiting on the first floor for a long time and invited everyone from CCTV to the VIP room.

Jiang Tiantian arranged for the clerk to serve tea: "Please wait a moment, everyone. The chairman will be down soon."

"We're not in a hurry." Dong Qian was dressed in a white suit, looking smart and capable.

Shen Sisi kept her head down and remained silent.

About five minutes later, Song Ci came to the VIP room accompanied by his secretary.

When I entered the room and was about to say hello to everyone from CCTV, I was stunned when I saw Shen Sisi in the crowd, and the past events came to my mind.

However, Song Ci quickly gathered his thoughts and stepped forward to shake hands with everyone. "Hello, Teacher Dong."

"Hello Mr. Song, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accept our interview."

When he came in front of Shen Sisi, the usually calm Mr. Billionaire became a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should shake hands with her. After a long pause, he slowly said, "Sisi, long time no see."

Shen Sisi gazed at the man in front of her with misty eyes. He was still as energetic as she remembered, but with a sense of maturity that came with time. With the dazzling halo around him, he became even more attractive.

Taking a deep breath, controlling my emotions, I tried to keep my voice steady: “Song Ci, long time no see.”

Dong Qian's eyes flashed with inquiry, and he asked curiously, "Does Mr. Song know Sisi?"

Song Ci nodded: "We are friends."

Shen Sisi gave a bitter smile and her eyes dimmed a little. Yes, we are friends, but we lack a little fate.

Dong Qian became even more curious, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, Shen Sisi was actually friends with Song Ci, then why did she refuse to come for an interview three days ago.

Starting from CCTV today, this girl was obviously not in good shape, and when she met Song Ci, she was even more distracted. And Song Ci's attitude towards her was also intriguing.

After both sides exchanged greetings, Song Ci asked, "Who will come first?"

"Sisi, please come first on behalf of Focus Interview. My interview here is a personal interview, so it may take a little longer." Dong Qian gave the opportunity to Shen Sisi first. She decided to observe Song Ci carefully first.

Shen Sisi and Song Ci sat face to face and began to interview the anti-trafficking charity event on Weibo. However, she was obviously absent-minded during the interview and often failed to express herself clearly.

Song Ci was also absent-minded, always inadvertently avoiding Shen Si's gaze.

Jiang Tiantian, who was waiting on the side, gently nudged Song Xueying with her elbow and lowered her voice: "What's going on between Director Song and this reporter Shen?"

I wasn't prepared to get an answer, but Song Xueying said meaningfully, "This reporter, Shen Sisi, was the campus beauty of Peking University back then."

"The campus beauty of Peking University!" Jiang Tiantian looked at her thoughtfully, and nodded when he saw her beautiful features. "She is indeed very beautiful!

Wait, Peking University! Our Mr. Song is the campus hunk of Peking University. The campus hunk and the campus hunk know each other, could it be that?"

Song Xueying nodded slightly and said something shocking: "They were recognized as the golden boy and jade girl in Peking University back then. Shen Sisi is Liu Shishi's number one rival in love.

But later on, it was said that she was hurt by love and went abroad to study. As for how she was hurt by love, I don’t need to explain it, right?”

Jiang Tiantian covered her mouth in surprise, her face full of shock: "So she is Mr. Song's ex-girlfriend?"

“That’s not the case. Although Shen Sisi was deeply in love, Mr. Song still rejected her, and the two of them had never been together.

But after all, he hurt the beauty's heart and made her go to a foreign country to recuperate. Mr. Song probably couldn't bear it and felt bad about it. "

“It turns out there is such a tortuous story.”

Song Xueying looked regretful: "To be honest, Shen Sisi is impeccable in appearance, temperament, and knowledge. It's just that she met Mr. Song too late, otherwise it would be hard to say who the richest man's wife is."

Jiang Tiantian's heart moved, and she quietly took out her mobile phone, pointed the camera at Shen Sisi, took a photo, and secretly sent it to Liu Shishi.

Song Xueying glanced at Jiang Tiantian's little action, but did not stop her from revealing the news.

Liu Shishi's position is now as stable as a rock. Shen Sisi couldn't compete with Liu Shishi back then. Now that the chairman and his wife are married, it is even more impossible.

As she was deep in thought, she suddenly realized that she couldn't forget the person she had loved seriously. If there was no future, then what was the point of meeting him again?

But when we met again, although I couldn't forget him, the pain in my heart didn't seem as painful as I had imagined.

"Let's stop here." Song Ci suddenly stopped the interview. He found that Shen Sisi was not in the right state and it would be futile to continue.

"OK."

"Sisi!"

Shen Sisi raised her eyes and looked at Song Ci, not knowing why he called her, but since the other party did not speak immediately, she waited quietly.

The VIP room suddenly became quiet, and everyone else turned their attention to Song Ci.

Song Ci thought for a while. When he met Shen Sisi today, he found that five years had passed, but the other party still seemed unable to completely let go. He wanted to help her.

"Sisi, there is no perfect solution in life, only choices. Walk and forget and follow the wind, walk and watch and be calm.

The character "人" has two strokes, one for persistence and one for letting go. Don't dwell on the past, don't fear the future! May your future days be sunny and clear, and everything be gentle. "

Shen Sisi was stunned, and realized that Song Ci wanted to comfort her and let her let go of the past. But in this life, there is always a cup of poison that has no antidote!

But when I think about it carefully, although I still feel a little regretful about our reunion today, I don’t seem to be as heartbroken as I imagined. It turns out that time really is the best medicine in the world.

"Song Ci, there is no early or late meeting, no right or wrong, there is no length of fate, only depth.

Although I feel regretful, I can now face it calmly. If I really couldn't let it go, I wouldn't be here today.

Five years later, I am stronger than I was then and stronger than you ever imagined I would be.”

Hearing these words, Song Ci felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders: “A good life requires a slow pace.

The greatest meaning of life is to make yourself happy, so don’t be too sensitive and always take yourself too seriously. "

Clap, clap, clap! Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Dong Qian who was clapping.

"Mr. Song, what you just said is really healing, although I don't know much about your story with Sisi.

But I can feel that after listening to your words, Sisi's soul has been elevated, her heart has been relieved, and the depression between her eyebrows has dissipated. "

Shen Sisi took a deep breath, and at this moment her brows relaxed, as if the knot in her heart that had been knotted for many years had been untied a little: "Song Ci, can we do the interview again? I can't report the part just now when I go back."

"no problem."

The cameraman turned the camera back on the two of them.

"Mr. Song, may I ask why Weibo launched the public welfare activity of fighting human trafficking?" After re-adjusting her state of mind, Shen Sisi's voice was clear, intellectual and elegant, with outstanding demeanor.

Jiang Tiantian looked at the photo she had just sent from her phone and frowned in annoyance: "I was originally worried that she still had feelings for Mr. Song, so I sent the photo to Shishi to remind her.

But today, it seems like he came to end his past relationship and let go of his obsession, which made me feel like a villain in vain. "

Song Xueying chuckled: "I really liked this couple back then, but time flies like a song and the past is like smoke!"
