Chapter 43: Suspension of Special Visitors
Gao Luo's injury disrupted the program process. All work was suspended today. Relevant personnel sent Gao Luo to the nearest hospital, and irrelevant personnel returned to the inn.
After arriving at the hospital, the nurse first gave Gao Luo an ice pack and a bandage, and then asked them to get a number and queue up for an X-ray examination. The examination results showed that the cortical bone of the tibia and fibula on both sides of the ankle was broken and the trabeculae were twisted. It was judged to be a minor fracture and did not require surgical treatment. Plaster fixation could be used first.
The doctor also prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs and drugs to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and told the accompanying adults: "In her case, she can't do strenuous exercise during this period. It's best to stay in bed for the first week. But don't worry too much. Children recover quickly and will be fully recovered in about three to four weeks."
Because the swelling needs to be reduced first, you need to apply an ice pack to the injured area for a while.
There was a bed in the clinic. Gao Luo was lying on the bed. The doctor said that raising the affected limb could promote blood circulation, so Gao Shule sat beside the bed, put Gao Luo's injured calf on her leg, and manually applied ice to her.
Those who rushed to the hospital together included Gao Shule, Duanduan, Jin Qi, Xia Shi, Xiaonian, Ning Heng, and Xu Man. Other guests also wanted to come along, but there were too many people and they were afraid of causing inconvenience in the hospital, so they asked them to go back to the inn.
Xiaonian had never encountered such a situation before and was frightened. He stood beside the bed, looking at Gao Luo quietly, tears falling from his eyes. He cried even more sadly than Gao Luo.
The ice effectively relieved Gao Luo's pain, and she finally had time to comfort him.
She raised her hand to wipe away his tears, then wiped them on his body with disgust. Fortunately, Xiaonian was too busy to watch her movements.
He asked, "A Luo, are you in pain?"
Gao Luo said weakly, "It's much better now. It doesn't hurt as much. Don't worry, the doctor said I will recover soon. It's not a serious illness."
[The child was writhing in pain and yet had to comfort others, my little darling. 】
[Wow, wow, Luo has really become a poor little thing now. 】
[A'Luo's ankle is so thin, and the pole is almost as thick as her calf. I dare not imagine how much pain she must have felt. 】
[I was wondering why I heard a crackling sound at that time. It turned out that it was not the sound of bamboos hitting each other, but the sound of her bones being dislocated? 】
[Where are the people who just said that A'luo was being pretentious and that Xia Shi was making a big deal out of nothing? He even used himself as an example and made it sound very convincing. Now that the test results are out, aren't you going to apologize to A-Luo? 】
[Those people who curse at you and have no empathy at all, do you still expect them to apologize? In a dream. 】
Those people in the live broadcast room who had just accused Gao Luo remained silent tacitly at this time, and no one came out to apologize.
But someone came out offline to apologize to A-Luo——
In addition to the program crew, those who came to the hospital included the scenic area manager and the young staff member who held A'Luo's feet.
He went to the bedside to apologize to Gao Luo, bending down and bowing until his waist was almost broken in half. When he looked up, Gao Luo saw that his face was covered with tears and snot, and then heard him say in tears: "I'm sorry, Luo, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't expect to pinch you, I, I..."
Gao Luo was afraid that if he continued, his nose would run down his throat, so she quickly opened her mouth to stop him: "I know you didn't mean it. I won't blame you. It was my fault for not keeping the rhythm right. Don't feel guilty."
Gao Luo felt that it was because she danced too slowly that her foot was pinched. It was her own problem and she couldn't blame others.
In the afternoon, the doctor saw that the swelling in Gao Luo's ankle had subsided a little, so he prepared to put a plaster cast on her.
The doctor said to Gao Luo, "Don't be afraid, kid. I'm going to put a plaster cast on you now. If you feel the plaster is too tight, or the skin temperature of the injured area drops, you must tell me and I will adjust it for you. Otherwise, the plaster will squeeze your affected limb and cause local necrosis. Do you understand?"
Afraid that she didn't understand, he repeated it to Gao Shule who was next to her.
As she is a child, we gave her a local anesthesia before applying the plaster, otherwise she might not be able to bear the pain later.
The plastering process took about half an hour. Gao Luo lay on the hospital bed and listened to other people talking.
Ning Heng was discussing the next work arrangements with Xu Man.
Taking Gao Luo's current condition into consideration, they thought she was not suitable to continue participating in the filming and had to be sent home to rest.
Gao Luo interrupted them and said, "I don't want to go back. I want to continue filming."
Ning Heng turned around, his eyes full of helplessness: "A Luo is very dedicated. Even in this situation, she still wants to work?"
Then he saw Gao Luo lying there with a pale face, and thinking about her current condition, he felt that he was also somewhat responsible. At that time, Xia Shi suggested not to let Luo dance the bamboo pole dance, but he rejected it. If I had agreed at that time, this accident would not have happened.
Thinking of this, he softened his tone and explained to her: "In the next few days, we will go into the mountains to shoot. The environment is not very good, which is not conducive to your recovery. In addition, there are many mountain roads, and the wheelchair may not be able to be pushed. You have injured your legs and feet... It is really difficult to deal with it."
[The director said the environment was not very good. Translated, it should be said that the living conditions were extremely difficult. 】
[Based on his description, someone like Luo with an injured leg really shouldn't continue to participate in the filming. It’s already inconvenient to move around, and the roads are all mountainous. What can we do? 】
【ah? Well...if A'Luo doesn't want to take pictures anymore, will anyone else still take pictures? Or postpone the filming? 】
[I don’t know how the director will arrange it.] 】
[No!] I want to see A-Luo. Can we just stay in the ancient city and not go into the mountains? Even if I just want to watch A-Luo eat, sleep and eat melon seeds, I will be happy with that! 】
Ning Heng did not make a decision on the spot. He wanted to go back and discuss it with the people in the team and listen to everyone's opinions.
The program crew rented a wheelchair from the hospital. After Gao Luo had the plaster cast applied, she left the hospital in a wheelchair.
It was already evening when the group returned to the inn.
Other guests came to visit Gao Luo. Gao Luo simply told them that she was safe. Paipai wanted to stay and talk to her more, but was persuaded to leave by Chen Cong.
Chen Cong said: "A Luo needs to rest now, you are here. She can't rest well, and if she doesn't rest well, she won't recover well."
After hearing this, Paipai left reluctantly.
*
Today's shoot is special as it takes place in a public place, so the artist's agent or assistant is allowed to tag along.
Yao Cancan lives in a nearby inn and is now with Shen Siyan.
She reported the progress of the CP hype to her, including the popularity of the CP in the barrage in the morning and the number of fans in the super topic. Finally, let’s talk about Gao Luo’s foot injury.
Yao Cancan took credit: "Is the person I found reliable? He's a young man who just graduated from an art school, and his acting skills are really good."
Shen Siyan and the others knew in advance that they would be filming here and knew the terrain here, so they thought that if Gao Luo's foot was injured, she would definitely be sent home to rest. Then Gao Shule will have to stay on the variety show alone, and it will be much easier to set a trap for her then.
So they found someone to deliberately clamp Gao Luo's feet during the bamboo pole dance, causing her to get hurt.
"Is he tight-lipped?" Shen Siyan asked worriedly, "He won't sell us out, will he?"
"No, he is the one who did it. He wants to sell us out. He will never be able to work in this industry again."
The advantage of being in the same boat is that you can check and balance each other, and if the other party leaks information, you will also suffer.
"I watched the live broadcast at the hospital this afternoon. Gao Luo herself thought she had made a mistake in the dance, and others would not have noticed it," said Yao Cancan.
Shen Siyan sighed when she heard this: “The child is still quite pitiful, and I don’t want to treat her like this.”
She really didn't want to deal with Gao Luo, but she was too much of a nuisance. If she didn't get rid of her, her plan couldn't be implemented.
Yao Cancan counseled her: "It's just a minor fracture, and the doctor said that children recover quickly, and she will be fully recovered soon. Just think about it, when you finish filming that movie with Wen Cheng, how much can you gain? If a woman is not ruthless, her position will not be stable."
"The entertainment industry is like this. There are many people who are more cold-hearted than you. We have been soft-hearted enough. Don't blame yourself, Yanyan!"
It was just a minor fracture, and in their opinion, it was not a big deal.
*
Ning Heng called the team to an emergency meeting, but no result was reached after two hours of discussion.
Two waves of voices emerged at the meeting, both of which sounded reasonable.
A group of people think that all of them should stop working and wait until Gao Luo's leg heals before continuing filming, because Gao Luo is a guarantee of traffic and ratings, so they are only starting to film this episode now. If she is not there for the entire episode, not only will the live broadcast data and TV station ratings be quite ugly, but advertisers will also not be satisfied.
Another group of people thought that Gao Luo should be sent back while they continued filming. Because if so many people in the entire team stop to wait for one child, they will have to wait for a month instead of one or two days, which will waste a lot of money.
Moreover, the schedule of the entire program team has been disrupted, and the schedules of other guests will also be disrupted. Some guests have to join the crew after the show, and some have to run business. If you disrupt things here, it will be difficult to adjust later.
The husband says he is right, and the wife says she is right, which makes Ning Heng very embarrassed.
But there is actually a small group of people who have different ideas from the above two. They thought that since A'Luo herself asked to continue participating in the filming, then let her continue filming. Because children don’t participate in the competition between the guests, they just need to watch with their eyes and don’t need to use their legs or feet.
After the meeting, Ning Heng asked Xu Man what he thought after listening to the meeting.
Xu Man said: "The first two suggestions raised by everyone are very reasonable. First, we should all wait for Gao Luo to recover. Then I suggest that if there are guests who cannot adjust their time, we should replace them. Second, continue filming and find a local child to replace Gao Shule."
"Then there is a third suggestion, which is to let Luo participate in the filming despite her injury. This... sounds a little inhumane, but it's not completely impossible. After entering the mountain, we can arrange two people for her, one to carry her and one to bring her a chair, so that she can sit down and rest anytime and anywhere."
Xu Man summarized the three opinions at the meeting and provided corresponding solutions that they did not mention.
"Then which one do you prefer?" Ning Heng asked.
"The third one." Xu Man thought without hesitation: "This is the only way that will not cause us any losses, but it may not be so friendly to Luo."
It was quite direct. Ning Heng nodded and said, "I understand. I'll think about it again."
Ning Heng finally integrated everyone's opinions and came up with a new method.
He decided to let Luo rest for a week first, because the doctor said it would be better for her to stay in bed for the first week. Ning Heng thought it would be safer to follow the doctor's advice. Then you can continue to stay in the ancient city for this week.
He will plan a daily live broadcast, and if a guest needs to leave for something, he can also leave. A week later, they went into the mountains to shoot the next segment as planned. When the time comes, we will assign a few more staff members to Gao Luo to ensure that she keeps herself busy.
He planned to announce the decision to everyone the next day, but early the next morning, Xu Man conveyed a new message to him.
"The leader of the station informed me last night that President Cefeng will be here at noon today, and asked you to make arrangements." Xu Man whispered, "It can't be public, it has to be secretive."
Ning Heng was speechless: "What, is this considered a secret visit?"
Xu Man was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night. He didn't sleep well and felt very tired. He was in no mood to joke with Ning Heng: "The fact that the leader can call me in the middle of the night to give me instructions shows that he takes this very seriously. Brother, don't mess it up today."
"Why did you come here suddenly?" Ning Heng asked.
"Why else?" Xu Man reminded him: "What happened yesterday?"
Without waiting for Ning Heng to speak, Xu Man asked himself, "A Luo has a fracture!"
"It just happened yesterday, but he arrived today, which means he flew here overnight. He is the CEO of Cefeng, and he is very busy every day. Just because Luo got into trouble, he dropped his work and flew here overnight. Just think about it, how important Luo is! This shows that you really can't mess up today!"
After saying so much, it was all in the end to prove that my judgment was correct.
Ning Heng squinted at him and said, "Come on, stop joking. Since you know the boss is coming, you don't need me to teach you what to prepare in advance, right?"
"No, no, I'll do it!"
Xu Man trotted away.
Ning Heng returned to his room and turned on his cell phone. There were twelve incoming call alerts and five text messages asking him to answer the phone. It’s a pity that he is muted at night, so no matter how many messages he sends, he won’t be able to see them.
The leaders of the station knew his working habits, so they hadn't called him at night for a long time and only called Xu Man. But I didn't expect that he would call me this time. It seems that Meng Zhang's secret visit is indeed very important.
If A'Luo was just an ordinary guest, no matter how big her traffic was or how much money she could make, Meng Zhang would at most ask his staff to contact her by phone and ask her. He would never come all the way to visit her in person, and put down his work and fly over overnight as soon as he got the news.
The only explanation he could think of was that Gao Luo was his daughter.
Last time he asked Gao Luo whether she and Meng Zhang were father and daughter, Gao Luo said she would not tell him. Now that she is not telling him, he also wants to know.
Xu Man informed all staff and guests that they should all take a rest today. As for the future work arrangements, they would wait and see tomorrow. Then he arranged a vehicle to pick people up at the airport.
At 11:46 am, the car that was sent out returned.
There were five people in the group, and Ning Heng went outside the inn to pick someone up.
Walking in front were Meng Zhang and his assistant. They had attended a meeting and had meals together some time ago, so Ning Heng recognized them.
As for the three people behind, Ning Heng just felt that one of them looked a little familiar, but he couldn't recognize him.
Among the three people, there is a middle-aged man and woman. Judging from the details of their actions, they should be a couple. They are most likely senior executives of the company. Although they rushed here overnight and are covered in dust, their temperament carries the nobility accumulated from money, and their aura gives people the feeling that they are superiors. The young man behind should be an assistant employee.
Meng Zhang didn't exchange pleasantries with him. When he saw Ning Heng, he got straight to the point and said, "Take us to see A'Luo's condition first."
When she just arrived, she didn't even drink a sip of water and went straight to meet people. It really showed that she was very nervous.
Ning Heng led them upstairs while informing them of the results of the examination: "The doctor said it was a minor fracture. He was put in a cast and needs to rest more during this period."
As they were talking, they reached the third floor, where Luo was staying.
Xu Man had told Gao Shule in advance that someone might come to see A'Luo today, so when there was a knock on the door, Gao Shule came straight over and opened it.
She guessed it was A'Luo's parents. Which parent wouldn’t feel sad to see their child getting hurt on a show? So when they opened the door and saw them, they weren’t too surprised.
Although she guessed it, she did not tell Gao Luo in advance. I'm afraid that if it's not the case, she will be disappointed.
Gao Luo was lying on the bed watching TV. When she saw Xie Yanzhi and Gao Chengsheng coming in, she excitedly sat up from the bed and threw off the quilt, completely forgetting that her leg was broken. If Xie Yanzhi hadn't rushed forward to hold her down, her foot would have hit the ground.
"Mom! Why are you here?" Gao Luo was surprised and happy: "Dad is here too! Oh, I'm fine, the doctor said I will be fine in a few days, why did you run all the way here!"
When Xie Yanzhi saw Gao Luo's legs wrapped like cut PVC pipes, tears immediately flowed down her cheeks.
He had raised her carefully for more than 20 years. Even if she had a sudden change of heart and became Song Rui's slave and had to move out for a few years, he would buy her a house and a car, hire a property manager, and ensure that she had a good and comfortable living environment.
This time, while filming a variety show, he had his hair pulled, had a long bumpy ride, suffered from airsickness, vomited until he was unrecognizable, and now his foot was pinched and fractured.
When Xie Yanzhi saw the live broadcast, the world immediately spun before her eyes.
This is her only daughter, and she is still small. The bamboo pole is almost as thick as her leg. It can easily break her leg. How painful it must be for her.
"It must hurt, A'Luo." Xie Yanzhi felt a dull pain in her heart as well.
"It doesn't hurt today. Don't cry. It's really not serious. The doctor said it's mild." Gao Luo tried to comfort her.
"Isn't today a workday? Aren't you guys working? You don't have to come all the way here for such a small matter. Just call and ask."
"You are like this now, why should we go to work?" Xie Yanzhi regretted, "I should have known not to let you participate in this program."
Gao Shule knew that Xie Yanzhi had no other intentions, but she still felt very guilty because she said she would take good care of A'Luo, but in the end, she let something like this happen.
Gao Luo noticed Gao Shule's mood and winked at her mother, asking her to stop talking.
Xie Yanzhi realized that what she said might have caused Gao Shule to misunderstand, so she wiped the tears from her face, turned her head and said to her: "Lele, don't think too much, I don't mean anything else."
Gao Shule immediately said, "I understand."
"Well...we want to talk to A'Luo alone."
"Okay, I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."
Gao Shule went out, and Meng Zhang called Ning Heng out as well.
Ning Heng understood that Meng Zhang was not Gao Luo's father at all. Gao Luo's parents were the two people in the room.
Because of the preconceived psychological effect, Ning Heng overlooked the fact that the couple actually looked similar to A'Luo.
After going out, Ning Heng took Meng Zhang to the lounge. Xu Man poured him some tea attentively and asked casually, "Mr. Meng, are A'Luo's parents good friends of yours?"
Meng Zhang had previously guessed that Gao Chengsheng and Gao Luo were related, but he did not expect that Gao Luo would be his biological daughter. He was only informed of this identity when he contacted him yesterday.
A'Luo is now the guarantee of traffic and ratings for this program. She is also the biological daughter of a colleague, and he has taken her in for a period of time. It is reasonable for him to come along this time.
He hadn't rested for a whole day and night, and now he finally had time to sit down and take a breath. He drank a sip of tea and said, "Her father is my colleague."
Use colleagues, not subordinates.
Meng Zhang is already the head of Tingfeng Film and Television, the one with the highest position. If he can be a colleague of his, then the other party is obviously not from Tingfeng, but from the headquarters Cefeng, and his position is not low.
Meng Zhang hesitated for a while, then said, "I didn't want to tell you, but since something like this happened to A-Luo, I think I should tell you something. A-Luo, she is Gao Chengsheng's daughter."
Anyone who knows a little about Cefeng has heard of Gao Chengsheng. He joined Cefeng 23 years ago and helped the company realize its listing plan within three years by optimizing its core strategic structure. Later, we continued to expand our business areas, diversified our business, and led our overseas teams to carry out global layout, making Cefeng one of the world's Internet giants.
Gao Chengsheng's name is more famous than that of the founder of Cefeng, and he has absolute say in Cefeng.
Although they have never dealt with each other, they often watch the news and have maintained cooperation with Tingfeng for many years, so they know a little about Tingfeng's affairs.
Xu Man was so shocked that he lost all control of his expression. Ning Heng thought he had seen the world after being in the entertainment industry for so many years, but he was still surprised to hear that Gao Luo was Gao Chengsheng's daughter.
With such an origin and such a family background, I think he must have been pampered by his parents on a daily basis. All the hardships he has suffered in this life are probably shown in the variety show "Wonderful Holiday". No wonder Gao Luo is usually "lawless" and dares to confront anyone. With such a strong background, who can she be afraid of?
"They don't want to reveal Luo's identity for now, so they hope you guys keep it a secret."
"We understand this." Ning Heng said.
"I'm telling you this today because Tingfeng and Xique TV are partners, and you and I both know that this variety show is very important. I have to tell you the seriousness of the matter. If Luo is allowed by her parents to continue filming, you should not plan such risky activities next time. Otherwise, if something happens to Luo on your show, none of you will be held responsible."
The second season of "Fantastic Holiday" is currently a cash cow for both families. They all hope that it can continue to be stable and no one wants any accidents to happen.
Ning Heng nodded, and after a while, he said, "They don't want Luo to continue filming?"
"Well, we came here today to take Luo back with us. As for whether she will participate in the future, it depends on Luo herself. Because I have been with her, Luo is a child with a strong opinion and can express her own ideas. Her parents should respect her opinions."
Ning Heng had originally wanted to do a daily live broadcast in the ancient city in the next few days, but now it seems that the plan has fallen through.
Meng Zhang suddenly thought of something and added, "If Luo decides to withdraw, the penalty will be paid by her parents."
People laugh out loud when they are speechless. Xu Man and Ning Heng laughed out loud at the same time - if Gao Luo quits the filming, who knows what will happen to the advertising business in the following episodes. Who cares about that little bit of liquidated damages!
*
Xie Yanzhi told A'Luo the purpose of their trip: in addition to visiting her, they also wanted to take her back to recuperate.
Gao Luo was thinking that she couldn't leave Gao Shule here alone, but seeing her mother's firm attitude, she couldn't say it directly.
She asked Gao Shule to ask the director about the next shooting plan. If the filming goes as usual, she will stay no matter what; if the filming is postponed, she will listen to Xie Yanzhi and go back with her.
After Gao Shule asked the question, the answer she got was that the filming should be postponed collectively.
So, after a simple lunch, the group packed up and went back together.
*
Shen Siyan was thinking about the next plan against Gao Shule in her room in the inn when she suddenly received an urgent notice from the staff saying that the filming mission was suspended and the guests could leave now or leave in the program crew's vehicle.
She couldn't believe it and asked, "Did everyone postpone it?"
"Yes, everyone." The staff member made it clear: "The whole issue will be postponed."
Shen Siyan felt as if struck by lightning after hearing this. Her lips opened and closed, moving silently for a long time before she finally uttered a sound: "How long will it be postponed?"
"Not sure. It depends on how Luo recovers."
"See Luo?" Shen Siyan was furious, her voice unconsciously rising to a shrill voice: "Why should I see her? Do we all have to change our schedule just because of her?!"
There was no live camera broadcast, and for the first time, Shen Siyan lost control of her emotions and got angry at the staff.
The staff saw that she usually spoke softly, and suddenly saw her like this, they couldn't help but be stunned. After a few seconds, they looked embarrassed: "This is the director's decision... just... I just followed his arrangements to inform the teachers."
"What if your delay delays my future work?!"
Xu Man had told him this question in advance, so the staff immediately answered her fluently:
"Assistant Xu explained that there is a provision in the contract that the production team does not need to bear responsibility if the filming of the program cannot be carried out due to force majeure or unexpected events. In addition, if the work is very important to the guest, the guest can choose to withdraw from the filming and perform another job. The program team will not pursue responsibility, and the guest does not need to pay liquidated damages."
Shen Siyan sorted out these words and found that such a long content actually expressed one meaning: if you don’t want to do this, just leave.
This was the first time she was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
