Floating Island
Large companies with dozens of floors employ hundreds of new employees. The three-shift system keeps the lights on from day to night, and also turns night into day.
The building is made of glass squares, and you can't see the sign even if you stand downstairs and look up.
"Mengdie" is the name of this company.
"Why me?" Tang Xiaoyou burst into tears in a corner.
"Why aren't the newcomers allowed to go? Why me? It's not fair!" She shouted at the person in charge, "I'm not going!"
The person in charge was a portly middle-aged man. It was not the first time that Jia Kun had seen someone resist, but Tang Xiaoyou was the first one who dared to make trouble in front of him.
Seeing her delicate little face smudged by tears and makeup, he felt distressed, but this was an order from above and no one could resist.
"Xiaoyou, it won't be any worse over there than here. Just be patient and obedient, and I'll find a way to call you back, okay?" Jia Kun still spoke in a gentle tone.
Tang Xiaoyou didn't buy it. She pushed her sisters aside and confronted him, "I won't! If you let me go now, what will happen to my performance? What will happen to my fans? What will happen to my future?"
"I don't want to go to a place where neither humans nor ghosts exist!"
Jia Kun was furious and slapped her.
All the sisters gasped.
"Tang Xiaoyou gave you face, didn't you? If it weren't for 'Dream Butterfly', you wouldn't be where you are today!" He pointed at the floor under his feet, "Once you come here, you have to abide by the rules here! You are just a little idol, who are you acting like a big shot to?" Then he said without question: "We will leave tomorrow!"
She and her teammates were the only ones left in the room. Tang Xiaoyou knew that her resistance was futile and she fell to the ground.
"Xiaoyou." Her teammates patted her on the back and looked at each other, but in the end they couldn't say a word of comfort.
In the bathroom next door, Li Meng scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face. Wang Yingying, who was standing beside her, said with a gloomy face, "Xiaoyou is so unlucky. She was even taken away like this."
Li Meng washed her face and squeezed some hand sanitizer. "The sponsor's intentions are ever-changing. We can't guess. In the past, they did choose those who hadn't debuted yet. This time..." She paused, "It's just bad luck for her."
Wang Yingying sighed, "What should we do then? What about the team?"
Li Meng said calmly, "What else can we do? Let the newcomers take over."
"Ding Dong" sound, there is a new push on the phone.
Wang Yingying clicked on it and found the top three trending searches.
#R&E lead singer Tang Xiaoyou temporarily withdraws from the group due to health reasons#
#Suspected Tang Xiaoyou's relationship exposed, hidden by the company#
#R&E's subsequent development may include new members#
Wang Yingying put down her phone, leaned her hands on the sink, and sighed heavily.
After wiping her hands, Li Meng saw another hot search.
#Lin Ran is suspected to appear at the memorial service for the original author#
#The memorial was in chaos, with two sides fighting and a stampede almost occurring#
#Lin Ran was attacked at the memorial service, leaving one person injured#
Time goes back to an hour ago.
At the memorial for Troposphere, someone threw flowers at Lin Ran. A security guard stopped them, and she angrily retorted, "You're just being hypocritical!"
Lin Ran brushed away the petals that fell on her body, smiled gently, signaled the security guard to let her go, and then slowly walked up to her.
"Are you her fan?"
The girl hesitated, "...Yes."
"Then you should be mourning with us. 'Yunyunzhongsheng' did so much to hurt her. Don't you feel sorry for her at all?"
He spoke softly and gently, sounding hypnotic to you.
She stammered and said nothing.
Someone nearby started to complain, "She's not a fan at all, otherwise she wouldn't be deliberately trying to stir up trouble between Lin Lin and her readers!"
When someone questioned her, she suddenly came up with a solution. She pointed at Lin Ran and said, "He's clearly trying to ride on the popularity of 'Troposphere'. Readers and fans, don't let him fool you."
Lin Ran still looked calm and indifferent, "I didn't."
Her tone was aggressive. "Then why didn't you refuse to play Yunda before, but only said so after the incident? And why did you propose to hold a memorial service for Troposphere? If that's not just to capitalize on the popularity, what is it?"
Lin Ran pursed his lips and remained silent, but in her eyes, this silence was a tacit agreement.
She sneered, "Look, this is the bad artist you're trying so hard to protect!"
Everyone at the exhibition heard this clearly.
You have to know that most people came to the memorial service because of Lin Rancai. Two-thirds of the people in the entire venue were his fans. Isn't she asking for trouble when she said that?
The fans rushed to her without saying a word, and Wu Danyun's fans who appeared out of nowhere quickly stood behind her, forming a confrontation between the two sides. This scene was also filmed and uploaded to the Internet.
Of course, this is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that someone entered the scene with a controlled knife and almost stabbed Lin Ran in the stomach. In a panic, the security guard's arm was cut by the other party, and then the situation was controlled.
The memorial service was disrupted, and the portrait just watched Lin Ran fall silently. His agent shouted, "Lin Ran! Lin Ran!"
"I want Lin Ran's stand!" After waiting in line for a long time, the girl sighed that it was finally her turn.
Jiang Li lowered his head and asked her for details, "Here are two sets. Take a look and see which one you would like."
"I want the one with four cups and a free stand and a folding fan."
"Okay." Jiang Li finished the order and turned around to continue shaking the milk tea.
The girl calmed down after ordering milk tea one second, but the next second she clicked on the trending search and the sky fell!
"Ah!" Someone in the queue screamed, then said with a worried look on his face, "Is Linlin okay?"
Once one person started talking, concern and tears started pouring out like water from a floodgate.
"He must be heartbroken."
"Yes, yes, this woman is not sick, why is she scolding Linlin!"
"Exactly! Whether I act or not, I'm scolded. I'm a complete taker of scolding."
"I feel like our family is a bit unlucky. It just happened to be revealed at this time that "The Legend of Liu Guang" was plagiarized. So, can plagiarism go to hell?"
"That's right. I was planning to use my brother's good looks and acting skills to impress passersby."
"No matter how many times we say we're innocent, it's not as effective as him showing his strength to make passersby say he's innocent."
"But why were there controlled knives there, didn't the security guard check? That's so irresponsible!"
"The scene was chaotic. Maybe someone sneaked in from behind."
…
They were talking quite loudly, and Jiang Li listened to them for as long as they talked. After listening to them, it seemed like a new world had opened up for him.
Sun Qin saw him lost in thought for a moment, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
"No, I was listening to them."
Sun Qin thought he was talking about the joint sales, "Oh, this is how little girls chase stars."
Jiang Li didn't take it too seriously and continued to work. He put the drinks into the laminating machine and opened another box of materials. Time slipped away as he sipped cup after cup of milk tea.
He got off work at ten o'clock and took the bus with his extremely tired body. There were not too many people on the bus at this time, so he found a seat in the back row. When he opened his mobile phone, he found that Chen An had sent him a message.
[I have a meeting at the bureau, so I won't be going home tonight.]
【Remember to eat after work, so you don’t have to leave the door open at night.】
After reading it, Jiang Li turned off the screen and did not reply.
The city nights are always flashing with neon lights, which is completely different from the dimness of the small county town. I have walked back and forth in that narrow alley so many times, and when I return to the bright lights, I can't open my eyes because of the glare of the incandescent lights.
He had thought about being tired, but he had never thought about being so tired.
The intensity of the part-time job he did in high school is completely different from the part-time job he does now, so society is always more demanding on adults, right? So that he felt tired the moment he completed the identity transformation.
This feeling of "tiredness" is something that everyone will experience to a greater or lesser extent. In his experience, it seemed that this society had left him with nothing but pain. He just kept walking and walking in this narrow passage until someone "inexplicably" pulled him.
At first he thought it was a trap, pushing and pulling each other to test each other, and after several repetitions, he realized that the person was trying to pull him forward.
But why did he pull me?
The car shook and his head hit the window with a thud. It hurt, but not so much that he cried out in pain.
Jiang Li kept a distance from the car window. Outside the blurry window were people, lots of people, crowded together and laughing. A yellow figure passing by looked like a student of seventeen or eighteen years old like him. He nodded and bowed to the customers and apologized in a low voice.
The scene flashed by, and Jiang Li's lazy nerves suddenly revived. He seemed to know the reason.
