Chapter 215 I am my own master
An Ling frowned and stared at Ren Limeng with flickering eyes. After a long silence, she took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and shook her head slowly. Her tightly pursed lips still couldn't suppress the complexity in her eyes.
"Sister Ling, if we can seize this opportunity and the live broadcast and public opinion are very positive, Minister Zhong's current problem might be easily solved. Time waits for no one. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"
An Ling lowered her head and pressed her lips into a horizontal line. She rubbed her temples heavily with her hands and stared at Ren Limeng's calm and gentle face. An Ling could not ignore the calmness and composure in Ren Limeng's words, just as it was difficult for her to refuse the temptation thrown by Ren Limeng at this moment.
Although she knew that it would be fraught with danger to act according to Ren Limeng's suggestion, the temptation behind the risk was too great. The words of refusal were already on the tip of her tongue, but after hesitating for a long time, An Ling still did not open her mouth.
"Sister Ling, this opportunity is rare. I've done many live broadcasts on the Agricultural Channel and am very experienced. We often just go live with two or three people. With so many key cast members, there will definitely be no problems. Don't worry too much. If you're willing to go on the air yourself, I'll fully cooperate. If you have any concerns, I can do it myself. If there are any problems, you can just push them to me and Director Yao."
Looking at An Ling's hesitant expression, Ren Limeng continued to add that she was not sure whether this was a good idea, but it was indeed what she wanted to do most at the moment.
This is not just a wild imagination. As long as An Ling makes up her mind, she, or they, can do a lot for Gangcheng. In addition to the so-called tempting interests, this is also their responsibility as hosts.
Ren Limeng believes that this season of "Shan Hai" chose Jingchu Province, and the program team, or the Orange platform, must have had close communication with the Jingchu official platform. It is not a difficult thing to reach a live broadcast cooperation now. This is also the basis for her to dare to suddenly make such a bold suggestion in such an emergency.
"you?"
An Ling suddenly raised her head, her eyes like a hawk scrutinizing Ren Limeng, who was not avoiding or dodging, "Ren Limeng, this is no joke."
"Of course, no one jokes about this kind of thing. Sister Ling, this is an opportunity."
Ren Limeng repeated it meaningfully. She stood up and looked up at An Ling. She seemed not afraid of An Ling's pretending to be fierce. The word "opportunity" that she deliberately emphasized was full of suggestive meaning.
The so-called opportunity is not only a chance to stand out in the chaos at this moment, but also an opportunity to make up for the problems the program is facing now.
Now, the recording of the third stop of Gangcheng program must be suspended. As the typhoon passes through Jingchu, the recording of the other four teams will be affected to varying degrees. Even if the typhoon suddenly changes direction and cannot be controlled by anyone, it is a foregone conclusion that the platform’s most important S+-level variety show this year will be significantly affected.
If Yao Xin does not have an appropriate remedial plan, accountability later is foreseeable. Even if there is a response, if Zhong Yanjun can take the initiative to remedy the current problem or even turn the crisis into an opportunity, it can be regarded as a crucial step for the game between the two parties in the entertainment channel.
An Ling naturally understood Ren Limeng's subtext in her heart, but front-line live broadcasting was not her forte, and live broadcasting itself was like walking on thin ice. Any hasty words could trigger a backlash from public opinion. If she was not careful, the gains would outweigh the losses. An Ling had just suffered a loss from live broadcasting, and she couldn't help but think about the worst case scenario.
So, even though she was eager to try, she still didn't dare to gamble.
“Li Meng, you chose me, does Shen Xingzhi know?”
A heavy silence filled the room, and the stagnant air seemed to completely block out the noise of the heavy rain outside the window. An Ling suddenly walked to the window and looked at it silently for a long time. She finally took a deep breath and turned to look at Ren Limeng again.
"Sister Ling, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Xingzhi, right?"
Ren Limeng curled her lips slightly, looked deeply at An Ling whose eyes were as sharp as a torch, but she just avoided the topic indifferently.
"So, who are you representing right now? If I don't agree, are you going to go find Yao Xin?"
An Ling concealed all the complicated emotions on her face. She stood in front of the windowsill, staring down at Ren Limeng who was still sitting by the bed, waiting for Ren Limeng's answer.
Is it Ren Limeng's own personal choice to talk to her about cooperation at this moment, or is it Shen Xingzhi's secret instruction?
An Ling's mind was suddenly filled with many thoughts. Even Ren Limeng's suddenly lowered voice and the phone call that was hastily hung up when she came out of the bathroom were circling in her mind, forcing her to ask cautiously.
Ren Limeng still had a smile on her face, but suddenly fell silent.
The implication of An Ling's words was too obvious, and she could even understand it completely. At this moment, she only needed to nod slightly to guide her, or give some subtle hints, and the already somewhat shaken An Ling would agree to the live broadcast as she wished.
This kind of opportunity where opportunities and risks coexist is like a slightly tilted scale. As long as a top-tier choice is added, it will be enough to influence the situation. The scale will immediately tilt completely, and everything will be as she wishes.
She wouldn't have to continue trying to persuade An Ling, or even waste her time talking.
Ren Limeng unconsciously clenched her fists. She repeatedly told herself in her heart that she should not remain silent at this moment. It was just a smile and a nod. It was no big deal.
All her acquiescence and hints were just stopgap measures for the current situation. An Ling now needed a boost of determination. She was just using the ambiguity that was essential for a mature professional to deal with this matter. Obviously, she had already done well in this aspect and was already a comfortable member of society.
Even if she chose to speak directly at this moment and completely mislead An Ling, saying that it was Shen Xingzhi's intention, as long as the live broadcast in the afternoon went as expected, there would be no problem if she and An Ling explained it clearly afterwards.
Besides, even if something really went wrong, Shen Xingzhi…wouldn’t ignore her, this matter could always be resolved.
Perhaps, An Ling also thought of the seemingly ambiguous relationship between her and Shen Xingzhi, so she had to confirm her answer.
This was just a small storm in the career choices she had experienced.
Ren Limeng was very clear about the most cost-effective solution to the current situation. Chen Xingzhi was her boyfriend, and he was much more understanding than the various monster leaders she had faced before. This was obviously not the most difficult situation, so why was it suddenly so difficult to solve?
What on earth was she hesitating about that prevented her from speaking?
In the dead silence, the sound of the raging wind and rain outside the window became even louder. Ren Limeng raised her eyes, and her somewhat dazed gaze turned from the window to An Ling. She suddenly stood up and slowly stood in front of An Ling.
"Sister Ling, I only make my own decisions."
Perhaps less than a minute had passed while her thoughts were running through her mind, but the smile on Ren Limeng's face completely disappeared. She looked at An Ling solemnly and finally gave her answer firmly.
"We are all hosts, Sister Ling. I believe you can understand how I feel. We hold the microphone in our hands. In this situation, we can clearly do something. If we just sit there in the hotel and wait for death, I will be sorry for the microphone in my hand."
Ren Limeng's breathing was a little heavy. She stared at An Ling seriously and said, "If you really don't want to, I can't influence your decision, but I will definitely go to Director Yao and other leaders."
Ren Limeng didn't believe that there would be no leader on the Orange platform, which has always been creative and bold, who would dare to take this opportunity. Now that time is limited, she will not dwell on An Ling.
She chose An Ling first, but after getting to know each other, she felt that An Ling and she had some similar professional concepts and persistence.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Sister Ling, I am a nobody and my words carry no weight. There is no other way. This is just the best I can do for Gangcheng from now on."
Ren Limeng's tone was very sincere. She calmed down again and followed An Ling with a helpless gaze, watching her slowly lean on the windowsill, her arms clasped across her chest, a hint of contemplation flashing in her eyes.
"You... are indeed a person of little influence, but Chen Xingzhi is not. Li Meng, Chen Xingzhi was able to post a Weibo post specifically for you to introduce you, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to ask him to say hello to the station now."
An Ling seemed a little puzzled and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Since you chose to tell me about this first, why can't you help us talk to Shen Xingzhi? We can obviously cooperate and win together."
An Ling did not beat around the bush with Ren Limeng. The fact that Ren Limeng first talked to her about live streaming was itself a signal of choice. They were all adults and understood some things. Since Ren Limeng was ready to join them, then helping them persuade Shen Xingzhi would naturally only benefit her. An Ling did not believe that Ren Limeng could not figure it out.
"Sister Ling, I can't be the master of others."
Ren Limeng's voice was indifferent, as if she didn't hear the temptation and promise in An Ling's words. She looked at An Ling with neither servility nor arrogance, and returned to the main topic, "If you trust me, I will definitely be able to live broadcast the flood prevention and disaster relief work to the satisfaction of the station. This is our current win-win cooperation."
The flood had just happened, and every minute and every second was precious. If An Ling refused, Ren Limeng had to make other plans as soon as possible. She didn't have time to worry about other complicated things with An Ling.
"You? Li Meng, the flood is no joke. Do you know how much negative impact Wan's broadcast of the problem will have on the station? Can you bear this responsibility alone?"
An Ling smiled lightly and shook her head slowly. When she raised her eyes, her gaze became sharper, her scrutiny was very direct, and her voice was somewhat aggressive.
"Sister Ling, this is indeed unprecedented for the entertainment channel. I understand your concerns, but you also know that this kind of live broadcast is a very common frontline report on the agricultural channel. I used to be a war correspondent and have been in the industry for over ten years. Please trust my professional ability. Nothing will go wrong."
Ren Limeng suddenly smiled, her tone calm and powerful, her firm voice revealing enough confidence. She stood calmly in front of An Ling, her bright eyes made An Ling subconsciously want to turn her head.
