Chapter 30 The Rose under the Street Lamp
As the saying goes, everyone is getting high fireworks. Phoenix TV held a closed high-level meeting after the Spring Festival in 1979 for two days. Some of the people who were relatively reserved earlier finally participated in the discussion with the encouragement of An Yifei. A corporate culture was unknowingly created.
The plan formulated at the end of the meeting was implemented separately. Of course, the most critical talent training was implemented on Liang Shuyi's shoulders, but the woman had no complaints. She liked the unity and harmony shown by the TV station under the leadership of the boss. It is said that people's hearts are full of flesh, and everyone is Chinese, and they like companies with strong human feelings.
An Yifei succeeded, almost twenty years earlier, creating a harmonious corporate culture. Zhong Chuhong felt the most direct benefits. The TV stations like big families made everyone feel belonging. Although there was competition between them, there was no such thing as other TV stations that tugged each other, which made her very happy to manage.
Unlike the young and vigorous Phoenix TV, the wireless, with a strong family atmosphere, still gritted its teeth and wanted to compete with Phoenix TV for viewership. Although relying on their old relationship, their advertisements do not have much problem, but it is still difficult to say in the long run. Moreover, there is a beautiful family staring at them.
If Wireless can still make a big deal with its family business, the emergence of Phoenix TV directly advanced the equity change of Li's TV station two years ago, and it was still acquired by the Australian consortium.
But then, the TV series "Shanghai Bund" broadcast by Phoenix TV was like a heavy hammer. Not only did Li's TV station change its equity again, but Qiu Daheng entered Li three years in advance and changed it to "Asian TV", which also caused the already full-fledged wireless to fall to the bottom in the ratings.
"Wow, the hair boy is so handsome", "Oh, do you think it's Brother Wen or Ding Li and Miss Feng in the end?"...
An Yifei walked alone on the streets of Hong Kong that were gradually flourishing, but during the TV series, the streets were deserted. On the contrary, there were extremely lively tea restaurants and queues, where a large number of people watching TV gathered. He followed the familiar melody of "Running, Flowing..." with a smile, as if he was wandering in the trajectory of time and space, recalling the incident of watching this TV series when he was a child.
"Oh, I don't know how my father is doing. It's hard to see him again in this life. Could it be that he calls him brother?", shaking his head with a wry smile. An Yifei sent back a lot of money in the name of his missing cousin, but he was afraid of meeting another himself and his father, fearing that he would cause unnecessary changes. If this was still the time and space of the past, it would be very likely that he would disappear.
As he sent back one after another, no problems arise. He already understood that he had come to a parallel space of time. As a former online writer, he understood the most basic principles. After looking up at the stars in the sky, "Since I came to this space of time, the two spaces of time that originally overlapped began to fork? That's good, I should be considered as a missing person over there, and I'm all over the world."
An Yifei needs to think quietly, so after parking his car in a paid parking lot, he wanders around, thinking about all the plans and taking stock of the achievements and existing problems.
"The novel is not profitable, but it is not enough for the freshwater plant like a money printing machine to look like a rich family in the world. Especially the consortiums such as Rockefeller and Morgan in the United States, the daily income is probably my annual income. We can't slack off. Hong Kong is so small, I'm just starting out and swimming in the pond of capital. I will meet big crocodiles at any time. If you want to be fearless, you can't be a small shrimp anymore, but you must also have the determination to become a big crocodiles."
I let out a long sigh. Tonight's first episode "Shanghai Bund" has been played. During the interval similar to the intermission, there were many more people on the street, most of whom were in a hurry. I must have seized the time to do things and then watch the second episode.
"Big brother, buy a flower." A tender voice sounded like a kitten crying on An Yifei's left, which made him notice the "ugly duckling" several meters away.
An Yifei, who felt a little strange, immediately remembered that today was February 14, 1979, and at this time, some young people in Hong Kong who were following the trend began to celebrate Valentine's Day in the West.
The nights in Hong Kong in early spring are still very cold. The little girl may be malnourished and dressed quite thinly. A very old school uniform on her body is an old jersey style. Her withered hair reminded An Yifei of her daughter in her previous life, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
Squatting down, An Yifei noticed that the little girl was only seven or eight years old, with a little vigilant and eager look in her eyes. The basket was filled with roses, and it seemed that no one was interested. Yes, in fact, most conservative Hong Kong people would not celebrate Valentine's Day in this era.
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Why don't you go home so late?" An Yifei subconsciously exuded the aura formed after practicing the nameless martial arts. This aura made the little girl feel that the big brother in front of her was very safe.
"Mom hasn't come back from the sports car yet. I... Dad can't do things, so I came out to sell flowers and earn tuition."
Not only did An Yifei have children in this life, but she actually had a good relationship with her daughter in her previous life. Her sensible daughter often secretly came back to see her father, and she would not compromise even if she went back to be scolded. He was not a soft-hearted person, but the little girl's appearance was like a cat in trouble made his eyes moist instantly, thinking of her daughter who could never meet again.
"Little sister, it's not safe outside. I've bought all the money you spend. Go home." An Yifei took out a thousand yuan from her wallet and put it in a small basket. She took out all the flowers inside. Thinking about it, she picked up the money and stuffed it into the little girl's pocket, "Don't let the bad guys see it." Then she touched the little girl's head, then stood up and continued to hang out.
It’s not that the little girl didn’t want to refuse, but that so much money made her dull. Maybe it was because her father had meningitis, maybe he lacked father’s love after his father had sequelae, so the little girl followed An Yifei foolishly.
An Yifei soon noticed the little tail behind her, stopped and looked back at the little "ugly duckling" with amusement, "Little sister, why are you following me?"
"Big brother, are you very rich? My father is sick and can't do heavy work, but he can clean up. Can you help him find a job?"
Although the little girl speaks very fast, she speaks Cantonese in a clear speech and expresses her meaning very clearly, which makes An Yifei's eyes lit up.
"Little sister, where is your home? I'll take you back and say ok while walking?"
"Okay", the little girl was carrying a basket on her left hand and her right hand was very calmly led by An Yifei. This big brother gave her an extremely safe feeling.
"Little sister, what's your name?"
"Lizi"
"Ah?" An Yifei stopped and observed the "small stutter" that she loved very much in that era, but no matter how she looked, she had no shadow. Her yellow hair and a crooked teeth unique to the little girl, only those eyes showed that she was really the swan who later came.
An Yifei's actions did not scare the little girl, but looked at him curiously. Her pure eyes were like the lake water of Tianchi, which made someone's old face turn red, and she thought to herself: "Damn, I was scared by the little girl."
The dim street lights stretched out one and two reflections. An Yifei admired the tenacity of this future goddess. She was a family of performing arts, but unfortunately her family fell into decline. Especially after her father suffered from meningitis and deafness, the burden of survival at home was all on her mother who was driving a truck. The sensible Li Zi used his spare time to wholesale gadgets on the street to raise tuition for herself since he was in elementary school. Fortunately, there are still more good people in today's era, and even members of the community couldn't bear to deal with this strong little girl, and she had let her do things like selling flowers safely for many years.
Most of the trucks in Hong Kong run to the docks or Luohu Customs, which are not very far away and have more income than ordinary factory employees. Li Zi's mother was in charge of her daughter at first, but she had a small son to take care of and earn money to support her family. Later, she saw that her daughter was very smart, so she agreed that she often went out to make money to supplement her family's income. But today when she came back from the car, she found that there was an extra young man in the family, and she was a very handsome young man.
After settling down the youngest son he took out, Li's mother calmly started chatting with An Yifei. Due to her husband's health, the Li family is now her leader.
"Sister, it's dangerous for your daughter to go out so late. Do you want to change jobs?"
Li's mother didn't believe it at first, but the business card An Yifei took out was not fake. Who would use this method to deceive a family with almost nothing?
"Mr. An, you asked us all to work in the Tamsui factory? Her father is fine, but how do I calculate my salary?" Li's mother had no choice. Years of hardship forced her to make a fortune.
"Sister, you can drive and your skills are so good. Liu Fen, general manager of Tamsui Factory, has always wanted to find a female driver, but he has never been satisfied. I think you are very suitable and your salary must be much higher than yours now. For details, you can go and negotiate with her."
Li's mother was extremely moved when she heard this. She was a truck driver. Of course, she knew about this tamsui factory. There were also news that ordinary workers there paid more than twice the salary of outside. If they were driving for the general manager, it would definitely be higher.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." As for her husband's arrangements and salary, Li's mother consciously didn't ask too much. She wouldn't care if she could. When she went to work there, she would have more time to spend with her children, and she had a very ideal job.
The Li family’s house is still very good, it is a flat house left by his ancestors. Before An Yifei left, he looked at Xiao Lizi, "Study hard. When he grows up, will the eldest brother let you be a star?"
Li's mother laughed at An Yifei's words. She had already learned through her business card that the young man was also the boss of Phoenix TV. Since she was a family of entertainment, she was not afraid of her daughter's future development in the film and television industry. So, she smiled and watched how Lizi answered with An Yifei.
"Okay, big brother, can I go to you often? Is your TV station big?"...
An Yifei, who said goodbye, wiped the cold sweat from her head, "Huh, little talkative, not a small stutter."
