Chapter 259 Separation
From this perspective, "Mountains and Seas", the flagship variety show of the Orange platform, is actually a fair and just program, which makes her feel that her efforts will be rewarded. She even thinks that the variety show channel is just a little more scheming behind the scenes, and is not as complicated as many of the entertainment industry revelations circulated on the Internet.
Thinking of this, Ren Limeng's face suddenly froze, and a question that she had ignored for a long time suddenly popped up in her heart.
Is the show “Mountains and Seas” really… fair and just?
In just a moment of silence, Ren Limeng already knew the answer. She lowered her eyes thoughtfully, and a very complicated and playful smile appeared on her face.
Perhaps it was not the "Shan Hai" program crew who was fair and just, but she had never thought about this issue in detail. Now, when she thinks back on the journey over the past few days, many overlooked details suddenly come to mind.
Ren Limeng quietly raised her head and stole a glance at Shen Xingzhi who was calm and composed beside her. She did not discuss with Shen Xingzhi or confirm the fairness of the "Mountains and Seas" program, because there was no need to confirm it, she had already made a definite decision in her heart.
In the past, as a little-known host of the agricultural channel, Ren Limeng didn't need to consider these things at all, but now Ren Limeng is very clear that whether as a rising female host or the girlfriend of the big star Shen Xingzhi, she will experience more, and all she can do is be prepared.
Nothing can be taken for granted. She must always be prepared to rush to every battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.
Today, her career may have blossomed because of Shen Xingzhi's help, but one day, Ren Limeng believes that she will be able to reach a similar position as Shen Xingzhi, no longer passively accepting and adapting to circumstances like she is now. Relying on herself, with the ability and qualities of an excellent host, she will definitely be able to take the initiative.
Just like Chen Xingzhi, he remains unchanged in the face of any problem, firmly becoming the target pursued and feared by all parties, upholding the fairness and justice in his heart, and making his own voice heard to everyone.
Since excellent singers can do it, then excellent hosts can naturally do it too.
"Mengmeng, what Director Fang just told you was exaggerated. Don't listen to his nonsense. He made me sound like a poor little thing. I was just too lazy to bother at the time, so I asked Gua Xing for help. Many times, money can solve small problems."
Before he knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. When he was saying goodbye, Shen Xingzhi noticed that Ren Limeng was slightly distracted when she mentioned the hot search to increase knowledge. He seemed to realize something, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Ren Limeng with his deep black eyes. There seemed to be a surging undercurrent in the shadows. His thin lips parted slightly and his voice was cold and light, which made Ren Limeng's heart tremble inexplicably.
"When we're together, these things won't be a problem!"
Just now, Ren Limeng's sonorous and firm words echoed in Shen Xingzhi's ears. At the time of parting, every word seemed particularly moving, and it made Shen Xingzhi even more reluctant to leave. Director Fang had already gone to other parts of the room to deal with things. Shen Xingzhi remembered that he had just noticed that Ren Limeng seemed to have a hidden uncomfortable expression when listening to Director Fang talking about his past experiences, and he couldn't help but explain it lightly.
"Money can solve all the little things, right? Brother Xingzhi, how rich are you now? When you say that, a worker like me is really envious!"
Sensing the hidden worry in Chen Xingzhi's expression, Ren Limeng tried her best to suppress all distracting thoughts in her expression. She raised her head and smiled, pretending to sigh with an ups and downs of emphasis. Ren Limeng pulled Chen Xingzhi's arm and said "envy" with a bright smile on her face, as if this could dilute the tacit farewell between the two.
"I'm asking this... You're not going to throw a stack of bank cards at me the next second, are you? I remember the domineering CEO TV dramas I watched before were all like that. Brother Xingzhi, you're leaving Hanxing soon, so are you going to be called Boss Shen too? Boss Shen, please take care of me in the future!"
Ren Limeng teased "Boss Shen" with a smile, which earned Shen Xingzhi a low "Mengmeng". His eyes were fixed on Ren Limeng's curved eyebrows. Unconsciously, Shen Xingzhi's own brows also relaxed, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Mentioning "bank card", Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi immediately thought of Shen Xingzhi's desire to "take shortcuts to increase his cash capacity" during the Second Public Service. Their eyes repeatedly collided in the air, and the air around them was unconsciously filled with a subtle and soft atmosphere. Even though there were other staff members in the room, Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi looked particularly harmonious standing together, as if they were one.
"Mengmeng, I'm really leaving this time. Remember to send me a message if you have anything."
Shen Xingzhi seemed to have finally noticed the anxious look of Xiao Yang, the assistant at the door, who was frantically hinting at him. As he spoke, his dark eyes suddenly darkened, and Shen Xingzhi tightened his mouth, his voice hoarse and light.
It wasn't the first time they had been apart, but this time it seemed even harder than usual. Shen Xingzhi still felt a lingering fear when he thought about the heavy rain in Gangcheng two days ago. Until now, he didn't dare to recall Ren Limeng's live broadcast yesterday morning. Perhaps only he knew what kind of heart palpitations he had experienced during those few minutes when Ren Limeng went into the water to save people.
Breathing became difficult and turbulent at that time. Shen Xingzhi never wanted to experience that kind of torment again. He also didn't want to be separated from Ren Limeng again, even for just one day. But he and Ren Limeng both had their own responsibilities, and too many things required them to act separately. Only in this way could they meet at the top.
Chen Xingzhi didn't care about the "Mountains and Seas" program at all, and he didn't even care about any comments on the Internet, but he needed to take advantage of the situation to have enough capital and power to do what he wanted to do and let Ren Limeng pursue her dream in a relatively fair and just environment. So rationally, Chen Xingzhi chose to return to Yangcheng first to record his team's part of the program.
Ren Limeng works so hard, he can't hold her back.
"Okay, Brother Xingzhi, we'll see each other soon, don't miss me too much!"
Compared to Chen Xingzhi, who had a reluctant look in his eyes and couldn't help but hug Ren Limeng for the last time, when they really parted, Ren Limeng's attitude suddenly seemed as if she was pretending to be cool. She said with a smile, gently hugged Chen Xingzhi back, and walked out of the meeting room with Shen Xingzhi, and sent Chen Xingzhi to the elevator.
The meeting room was on the third floor, and the elevator going up arrived first. Chen Xingzhi sent Ren Limeng, whose room was upstairs, to the elevator first. He waved his hand, and his dark eyes were filled with a hint of reluctance. Even if they would be apart from Jiangcheng again tomorrow, the emotions in his heart were still somewhat strong and could not be dissolved, which unconsciously affected his silent mood.
But when they finally parted, Shen Xingzhi still smiled gently at Ren Limeng. He stood straight at the elevator entrance, quietly watching the cold elevator carrying Ren Limeng slowly close.
As the elevator door closed, Shen Xingzhi also lowered his eyes, hiding too much emotion in his eyes.
The next moment, when Shen Xingzhi looked up at the numbers jumping on the elevator panel again, Xiao Yang beside Shen Xingzhi could only see the indifference on his face, and his pair of black eyes became as cold and deserted as before.
This is the alienated feeling that Chen Xingyi has always given people over the years, but perhaps the contrast before and after is too strong. At this moment, Xiao Yang suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. He even feels that the air around him has become a few degrees colder with the departure of Ren Limeng.
He and Shen Xingzhi were clearly still standing in front of the elevator together, but Shen Xingzhi's tall and straight figure, like a pine tree, inexplicably looked so lonely in the cold and hard reflection mirror of the elevator door.
"Leave."
Shen Xingzhi's indifferent voice sounded a little casual, and it was casual but also carried some magnetic deterrence, which immediately called back Xiao Yang who was a little distracted. Xiao Yang looked at the elevator that had already reached the third floor, and hurried to catch up with Shen Xingzhi who had already walked to the elevator door.
After getting out of the elevator, Shen Xingzhi's pace towards the underground parking lot was obviously faster. Without the leisurely and calm pace he had just walked from the conference room to the elevator, Xiao Yang finally felt a bit like he was catching a train.
There was a high probability that they would have to change their high-speed train tickets later. Xiao Yang secretly glanced at his phone. He and Shen Xingzhi had just walked to the black business car. It was already 7:15.
Shen Xingzhi noticed Xiao Yang's actions. He glanced at Xiao Yang's phone, but his expression remained calm. His calm attitude carried a sense of letting things take their course and leaving the rest to fate. Shen Xingzhi didn't seem to care much about the fatigue of traveling at night. There was only the usual coldness and indifference in his eyes.
Xiao Yang put away his phone and suddenly slowed down his pace. He did not open the door of the business car for Shen Xingzhi as usual. Shen Xingzhi did not care about it for a moment. He just glanced at Xiao Yang lightly, raised his slender fingers, and opened the back door of the car himself.
Xiao Yang subconsciously slowed his breathing and stared closely at Shen Xingzhi's back. Although he couldn't see Shen Xingzhi's expression at the moment, he believed that Shen Xingzhi's face must have fluctuated with emotions at this moment, because he had heard the expected gentle female voice, with some playful words of satisfaction.
"Brother Xingzhi, long time no see, did you miss me too much?"
Looking at the smiling Ren Limeng in the car, Shen Xingzhi seemed to be frozen in place. His eyes paused for a moment and his mind went blank.
A rare flash of obvious surprise flashed across Shen Xingzhi's eyes. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the car door, and finally called out softly in disbelief, "Mengmeng?"
"Hey! It's me, hurry up and get on the bus! It's already 7:15, and we can't catch the 8 o'clock train. Master Wang, please drive faster, but safety comes first. Thank you for your hard work!"
Ren Limeng leaned forward, enthusiastically grabbed Shen Xingzhi's arm, and gently led him into the car. A cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she smiled at the driver, Master Wang, who was sitting in the front row. As she spoke loudly, she slowly pressed Shen Xingzhi into the seat next to her.
