Chapter 241 I am here
Shen Xingzhi's proposal was very tempting, but Ren Limeng chose to refuse without hesitation.
Ren Limeng: I want to do it, but not now.
Ren Limeng: In a top company in the industry like Orange Platform, there are so many things that are not accessible outside. I have benefited a lot from the agricultural channel, but recently I came to the entertainment channel and found that there are still many things for me to learn from Orange.
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi, I want to stay a little longer. Although it’s complicated and annoying here, and I don’t like it very much, this is actually a microcosm of society, and I have to adapt to this environment.
When she is able to cope with the open and covert fighting environment of the Ziruo Orange platform, Ren Limeng will definitely choose to leave decisively. This seemingly contradictory choice is the result of her careful consideration.
Ren Limeng hopes to have all the choices in her own hands, and she also yearns for a purely free working environment. However, after entering society for so many years, Ren Limeng has long understood that many things on the Orange platform are a microcosm of society.
If she cannot adapt to certain rules of society and chooses to escape and hide, then she will have no way to make her voice heard to more people, and her dream will become a slogan.
Even if she gets what she wants by chance, beneath her seemingly carefree and relaxed appearance, there will always be someone who carries the burden for her, such as Shen Xingzhi who speaks in an earnest tone at this moment.
In this case, Ren Limeng hopes that she is the one who will carry the burden and move forward. She knows very well that some things are just like dust in the sky.
In the years without Chen Xingzhi, she had already walked through a lot of roads with strength amidst the stumbling blocks.
Ren Limeng has never been a flower in a greenhouse. She has experienced countless storms. Even if she encounters turbulent waves, she will still choose to ride the wind and waves. She believes that in the face of today's more complex and changeable environment, she can still overcome difficulties, cope with it with ease, and learn something.
Chen Xingzhi: Mengmeng, maybe you don’t have to force yourself to adapt to this environment.
"The other party is typing" was displayed for a long time, and Shen Xingzhi finally said this sentence belatedly.
Ren Limeng lowered her eyes slightly, and Shen Xingzhi's words suddenly kept circling in her mind. She understood the protection he expressed even cautiously.
Ren Limeng believed that Shen Xingzhi would do what he said. She could even imagine Shen Xingzhi carefully choosing his words on the keyboard, hoping to protect her self-esteem as much as possible to express this sentence, but he really wanted to do it for her own good and couldn't help but persuade her with heartache.
But she didn't want to be protected by Shen Xingzhi alone, she also had her choice.
There were too many things that moved her tonight, and she could hardly control the surging thoughts in her heart.
Ren Limeng took another deep breath, forced herself to cheer up, and tried to make her tone more relaxed.
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi, you look just like my mother when you are so earnest in your advice!

Ren Limeng: Anyway, don't worry, Brother Xingzhi, I'm different from you. What I signed with the Orange platform is a labor contract, not an agency contract. I am protected by the law (silly smile)
Ren Limeng: I thought you were going to ask me why I wanted to sign myself to you?
Shen Xingzhi: I am your boyfriend, isn’t this a matter of course?
Ren Limeng deliberately changed the subject, and Shen Xingzhi also responded to her words, but Shen Xingzhi's reply made Ren Limeng speechless. She stared at the straightforward "as it should be" on the screen and couldn't help but chuckled.
Ren Limeng: More than that.
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi, I signed with you because of course I’m attracted by your money (wink)
During this period, Chen Xingzhi was in charge of all of Ren Limeng's marketing. Ren Limeng never mentioned this matter, but she knew very well that Chen Xingzhi had spent too much money on her, and she had no way to repay him, so she could only give him her body.
To put it simply, it means working to pay off debts. Ren Limeng believes that she has enough ability to earn more money for Shen Xingzhi, and she will not let Shen Xingzhi suffer any loss.
Shen Xingzhi: Then I’m so sad.
Shen Xingzhi continued to speak along with Ren Limeng's words, but Ren Limeng did not feel the sadness in his tone at all. At this moment, Ren Limeng herself could not help but smile, staring at the lines of text on the screen. For a few moments, she almost forgot about the hot searches dominating the screen on Weibo.
Until a new hot recommendation popped up in the new message window on the phone, and it suddenly caught my eye.
The smile on Ren Limeng's lips suddenly froze. The boring gossip pop-up window that she would have deleted directly in the past, now made her pupils tremble suddenly.
The next second, Ren Limeng almost without hesitation switched out of the WeChat interface and immediately opened Weibo.
At this moment, the top topic on the hot list has quietly become "Ren Limeng's mother's clarification", followed by related entries such as "Huangmei Opera School's statement", "Ren Limeng's career change", and "East Asian mother-daughter relationship".
Ren Limeng lowered her head in silence, her fingers unconsciously clenching the phone until a sharp pain came from the palm of her hand and her fingertips turned completely white. She was still a little dazed, staring at the lines of text that seemed so familiar yet so strange.
“Dong—dong—dong—”
Ren Limeng's heart suddenly shrank, as if something was pulling it tightly. Her breathing gradually became rapid. Suddenly, there was a somewhat chaotic knock on the door.
As if rescued, Ren Limeng, who finally found a suitable reason for herself, stood up suddenly, put down her cell phone, and walked quickly towards the door.
She had to go open the door, not because she didn't have the courage to click on the trending search.
What hasn't she been through?
Tonight, she has been mocked by the entire network for being unworthy of Chen Xingzhi, and has been slandered as a second-generation career changer operating behind the scenes. However, she can remain nonchalant and self-consistent, actively turning crises into opportunities. What do a few entries mean at this moment?
only……
Based on her professional sensitivity over the years, Ren Limeng was able to guess what had happened just by looking at the content on the hot search list. She was just too shocked and confused for a moment.
Ren Limeng didn't even know whether she hoped that the hot search content she was about to click on would be what she expected, or whether it would be better if she thought more about it.
The knock on the door at this moment made Ren Limeng wake up as if from a dream and turn her attention back to the surrounding rooms. In a trance, Ren Limeng had subconsciously opened the door. She even forgot the basic vigilance and did not look through the peephole to see who was outside the door first.
"Brother Xingzhi..."
Ren Limeng stood there in a daze, her lips moving but not knowing what to say. She just stared blankly at Shen Xingzhi who came in hurriedly, putting on a coat to cover his pajamas.
She gripped the door handle tightly, wanting to throw herself into Chen Xingzhi's warm arms, but she was no longer as fearless as she was in her teens. Ren Limeng finally suppressed her subconscious impulse and could only force out a complicated smile that was uglier than crying.
It was so late, Shen Xingzhi shouldn't have come, but she knew why he came, and she couldn't say he shouldn't have come.
"Li Meng, did you know about Auntie's Weibo post?"
Shen Xingzhi lowered his head slightly, stood outside the door and spoke softly, his throat rolling slightly, he also restrained himself from raising his arms, but his eyes were full of unstoppable concern, making Ren Limeng's slightly trembling heart even more difficult to calm down.
“…I don’t know.”
Ren Limeng lowered her eyelids slightly, her eyes flickered for a moment, and her throat seemed to be stuck. In the end, she just pursed her lips slightly, bit her lower lip, and repeated in a low voice, "I don't know."
Shen Xingzhi did not expose Ren Limeng's obvious abnormality. He sighed softly, and his low voice revealed patience and gentleness that was completely different from his cold face.
"Li Meng, Auntie just posted on Weibo to explain your career change. She attributed your decision to change careers after the college entrance exam to your own desire for control. She also issued a solemn statement together with the Huangmei Opera School, clarifying that there was no behind-the-scenes manipulation in your Huangmei Opera awards and everything else. It was all your own hard work. She...officially apologized to you..."
When he said the last sentence, Shen Xingzhi lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing Ren Limeng, with a hint of caution. However, this low voice, like a breeze, was still enough to stir up a storm in Ren Limeng's heart, making her whole body stiff and her breathing quickened for a moment.
Ren Limeng looked down at the shadow of the wooden floor beneath her feet. The dim orange spotlight obscured all her expressions at the moment, leaving only a deep shadow.
Almost the next moment, when Ren Limeng finally looked up, the only thing left in Shen Xingzhi's eyes was Ren Limeng with a professional smile on her face, and the panic in her eyes gradually disappeared.
"Brother Xingzhi, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine... I'm doing fine... It's so surprising that my mom was able to join forces with the drama school to clarify things so quickly. This will be very helpful for us to crack Hanxing's scheme. It's much more convincing than letting Guaxing secretly control the comments. Her years as a specially-appointed teacher at the drama school have not been in vain. We must now be vigilant against Hanxing using the rumor that my mom is a specially-appointed teacher at the drama school to stir up trouble again. We must quickly communicate with Guaxing about this change..."
As if she didn't hear the unexpected "apology" and didn't care what her mother had clarified, Ren Limeng focused all her attention on the response she and Shen Xingzhi needed to respond to at the moment. Her voice became calmer and calmer. At first, she was a little incoherent when she spoke, but gradually she completely returned to her usual rational analysis.
Until Shen Xingzhi suddenly spoke, interrupting Ren Limeng's further analysis and speculation.
"Mengmeng, I'm here."
There were cameras everywhere in the hotel corridors. It was late at night and An Ling would return to her room at any time. Shen Xingzhi couldn't go directly into the female guest's room, take Ren Limeng into his arms and give her a big hug, but he couldn't help but come to Ren Limeng's room as soon as possible, just to tell Ren Limeng that she was not alone.
Whether it was witnessing the second public performance in person or reading the full-screen long article posted by Wu Murong on Weibo, Shen Xingzhi could once again truly feel the difficulty of Ren Limeng's career change back then, and could also better understand her complex emotions towards her mother.
Shen Xingzhi thought, he must be here at this moment, so he came.
