Chapter 224: Eat

"Mengmeng, you are discussing this with me now, but I feel like you are still informing me."

Chen Xingzhi's low voice was a little hoarse, as if there was still a blockage in his throat. Looking at Ren Limeng's ingratiating smile, he softened his tone when he wanted to say something tough.

Chen Xingzhi stared straight at Ren Limeng, his usually cold eyes revealing some grievance as soft as a sponge, which made Ren Limeng unable to help but hug Chen Xingzhi tightly.

"No, of course we're discussing it. If you... really don't want me to go, then I won't go. Of course, our brother Xingzhi's opinion is the most important!"

Ren Limeng gently nudged Shen Xingzhi. She unconsciously slowed down her tone and looked at her boyfriend tenderly as if she was coaxing a child, as if nothing else mattered except the person in front of her. However, the regretful duplicity in her tone was still somewhat obvious.

At least, Shen Xingzhi couldn't ignore the disappointment in Ren Limeng's voice at this moment.

"You're just trying to coax me... Mengmeng, you're just retreating to advance!"

Chen Xingzhi's tone was still somewhat cold and hard, but there was more grievance in the cold accusation. With a hint of unwilling silent agreement, Ren Limeng, who understood Chen Xingzhi's meaning, instantly revealed a bright smile.

As Chen Xingzhi spoke, his hands were silently raised and gently placed around Ren Limeng's sides. He leaned his head against Ren Limeng's neck and held Ren Limeng in his arms.

"Well, you discovered all this!"

Ren Limeng exclaimed in cooperation, as if she was embarrassed to be discovered. She spoke with sparkling eyes, gently tilted her head, and rubbed Shen Xingzhi's soft face with the tip of her nose.

"Brother Xingzhi, what should I do if you know me so well? From now on, I will be yours!"

"...You've got me..."

Chen Xingzhi shook his head lightly, his sigh filled with too much helplessness and willingness. Looking at Ren Limeng who was eager to try and couldn't be persuaded at all, Chen Xingzhi finally emphasized, "Be careful and don't be stubborn!"

"I know!"

Thinking of the helpless handsome face when Shen Xingzhi kept repeating himself, Ren Limeng couldn't help but smile deeply. It was not until her eyes met An Ling's scrutinizing eyes across from her that Ren Limeng finally straightened up and refocused her attention on the room.

"Sister Ling, this is what I think."

Facing An Ling's somewhat aggressive gaze, Ren Limeng remained calm. She spoke calmly, lowering her eyes and concealing all thoughts, "This is our own business, Sister Ling. If you don't agree, I won't force it."

Ren Limeng told An Ling at this time only because she understood the relationship between Dong Zhu and An Ling. As the director in charge of Gangcheng, Dong Zhu would unconsciously look at An Ling many times before making a decision, as if asking for An Ling's opinion.

It can be said that An Ling is the actual person in charge of the show now, so Ren Limeng chose to report to An Ling that she wanted to go to the front line of Guanshan District with the TV station to report tomorrow, but she was not asking for An Ling's opinion, but informing An Ling of her decision.

"But I will definitely go tomorrow."

"Sure? Li Meng, you won't forget that you are a guest on the show, right?"

An Ling's face darkened slightly. She looked at Ren Limeng with some doubts, and said in a deliberately slow tone, "We know that Shen Xingzhi and you have a good relationship, but some things are too much, and I believe you know the limits."

If Ren Limeng wanted to rely on her ambiguous relationship with Shen Xingzhi to force her to go, An Ling would only accept Shen Xingzhi coming to negotiate with her. What she and Minister Zhong cared about was never Ren Limeng, but Shen Xingzhi.

In fact, just now Chen Xingzhi also asked Ren Limeng whether he needed him to say hello to the program team. Ren Limeng believed that Chen Xingzhi could definitely get it done, but she didn't want to rely on Chen Xingzhi for everything and let him make concessions in certain negotiations for her.

So she just shook her head and smiled slightly, just like the corners of her mouth were slightly raised at this moment.

"Sister Ling, I'm not only a guest on the show, I'm also the host of the Orange platform. If the entertainment channel is unwilling to do this, I've already reported it to Minister Li, and Minister Li agreed to let me go with Gangcheng TV under the name of the agricultural channel."

"Minister Li? Did you go to the agricultural channel?"

"Sister Ling, although I'm preparing to move to the entertainment channel after the show, my current personnel relationship is still with the agricultural channel. I think there should be no problem in reporting my work intentions to Minister Li."

Minister Li, the head of the agricultural channel, is Ren Limeng's direct superior. Since Ren Limeng has made up her mind to cooperate with the TV station tomorrow, she naturally anticipated that An Ling might not support her.

She has already chosen to favor Director Zhong of the Entertainment Channel, so even if An Ling disagrees at this moment, based on the live broadcast cooperation in the afternoon, Ren Limeng will not communicate with the program director Yao again.

But the Orange platform has more than just entertainment channels.

Ren Limeng gently reminded An Ling, and also made An Ling feel a subtle threat. The internal relationship of the Orange platform is complicated. It would be too easy for the agricultural channel to intervene in the affairs of the entertainment channel and cause complications. An Ling looked at Ren Limeng deeply, finally took a deep breath, looked at Ren Limeng seriously, and spoke in a softer tone.

"Since this is our entertainment channel's business, Li Meng, it's inappropriate for you to contact the agricultural channel now, right? Why do you insist on going to the scene tomorrow? Is it just to report on the problems in Gangcheng? There are so many people at the TV station, and many media outlets from all over the country are here too. We don't have to be the only ones there."

Frontline reporting has always been fraught with danger and is recognized by all industry insiders as a "hard job." Unforeseen accidents may occur at any time during reporting. Once Ren Limeng is injured while participating in tomorrow's TV special report, or a more serious accident occurs on the scene, the program crew will have to be responsible for it and bear the pressure from all parties. This is the main reason why An Ling rejected Ren Limeng after weighing the pros and cons. She tried her best to persuade Ren Limeng, hoping that she would not be so stubborn.

"Sister Ling, but we are in Gangcheng!"

Ren Limeng advised helplessly that many things are never necessary for anyone, but if everyone holds this idea, fewer and fewer people will pay attention.

Ren Limeng understood An Ling's hidden meaning. The program crew headed by An Ling no longer wanted to take risks. Although Ren Limeng said that she had contacted Section Chief Li of the Agricultural Channel, it was just a means of negotiating with An Ling.

There is no way the agricultural channel could interfere with the work already done by the entertainment channel. The Orange platform has always been mainly an entertainment channel. Ren Limeng's mention of Minister Li from the agricultural channel was just a bluffing strategy, but Ren Limeng's determination to go to the front line has always been real.

If she cannot use the "Shanhai" platform to attract more people's attention to Gangcheng, Ren Limeng has her last persistence. She wants to make more voices for Gangcheng so that more people can see the most real on-site situation of the flood at this moment through her reports.

"Sister Ling, I don't want to embarrass you. I have an idea. How about I appear on the live broadcast tomorrow as a TV crew member? If I can complete the report safely, when this episode airs, treat me as the team leader. This is a partnership with Gangcheng TV, and I'll be representing our team on the front lines. This will also enrich the broadcast content. If anything unexpected happens tomorrow, it's all my personal choice and has nothing to do with the show. I can record a disclaimer for the show in advance."

Ren Limeng's voice was very calm, but with the temptation of interests that An Ling could not ignore. After the live broadcast this afternoon, it is expected that the second half of the recording of Gangcheng will be almost entirely on standby at the hotel. There will be no fresh content or new topics in the camera. If you don't consider the safety of Ren Limeng going out at this moment, An Ling is actually very willing to support Ren Limeng.

After all, Ren Limeng's every word and action now represents not only the program team, but also Minister Zhong. Her going to the real front line to participate in reporting at this moment may be of immeasurable significance.

An Ling only objects to the high risk at the moment, but as for the high returns without risk, An Ling has no reason to stop it.

After looking at each other in silence for a moment, An Ling suddenly raised a friendly smile, nodded, and finally agreed with Ren Limeng's idea of ​​taking a step back. She slowly stepped forward, took the initiative to close the distance between her and Ren Limeng, gently patted Ren Limeng's shoulder, and her voice revealed some concern in her helpless sigh.

"Li Meng, there's no need to go to all this trouble. If you insist on going, our entertainment channel will definitely support you without hesitation. I also admire your bravery. However, there are still many trapped people in Guanshan District, and the situation on the scene is unpredictable. I hope you will pay attention to safety."

At this moment, An Ling really hopes that Ren Limeng can travel safely, for her own sake and for the show's sake.

Thursday

Ren Limeng changed into flood prevention emergency clothing early in the morning. After a brief meeting and training, she, accompanied by professional rescue personnel, and reporters from Gangcheng TV and other staff members took a kayak to Guanshan District. At the same time, the live broadcast on the official account of Gangcheng TV Station on Orange Video had quietly started.

Gangcheng TV Station finally decided to learn from yesterday afternoon's "Mountains and Seas" live broadcast. In addition to the normal reporting, it also reported the entire event of today in a live broadcast format.

Fan Ruofang, who is responsible for the front-line reporting of this incident at the TV station, wants to take a gamble. She is very optimistic about Ren Limeng's abilities. Even if Ren Limeng's identity cannot be announced during the live broadcast, she believes that when Ren Limeng's participation is finally made public, there will definitely be a good return. All Gangcheng TV Station has to do is seize the opportunity.

After much deliberation, An Ling and Dong Zhu finally decided to keep a low profile on Ren Limeng's participation in Gangcheng TV's frontline special reporting. They did not use the program account to warm up on any social media. As agreed between An Ling and Ren Limeng, they seemed to ignore the live broadcast of Gangcheng TV.

Therefore, there were very few people in the live broadcast room of Gangcheng TV Station at this moment. Shen Xingzhi entered the live broadcast room almost immediately. He subconsciously looked up at the number of viewers in the upper right corner. There were less than 50 people.
