215、Missed(1/2)
"I am a reporter from the Black Gold TV News Center," Zhong Manman hesitated for a moment and added: "I am also a poor host."
"Beauty is amazing!" The boss gave a thumbs up, "My daughter is also in college. It would be great if she could join Black Gold Satellite TV in the future."
Zhong Manman looked across from the other side and saw Xu Xin blowing the cool and hot fish with relish.
In Xu Xin, she never saw the big boss.
Perhaps she didn't have enough knowledge and had never seen a real big boss.
In the past, she subconsciously believed that those rich people would be very arrogant, at least not so easy to get along with.
Now she felt that the boss might be an ordinary person like Xu Xin, just like an ordinary friend around her, with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, no different from herself.
"Boss, our Black Gold Satellite TV will broadcast Xu Xin's interview this Friday. You must watch it at that time and add some ratings to our Black Gold Satellite TV!"
"Is that true? I have to support our provincial TV station. The most customers who usually visit my hotel are your employees of Heijin TV.
If you don’t support you, who else can you support?"
After the hotel owner finished speaking, he suddenly said the key points, "You interviewed Xu Xin? No, I heard that he is very mysterious and never accepts interviews."
"He only accepts our interview!" Zhong Manman felt a strong sense of pride again.
"It must be watched on time! By the way, is he really a billionaire like the rumored online?"
"You will know when you watch the show!" Zhong Manman said with a smile.
Xu Xin looked up and saw that Zhong Manman didn't even move his chopsticks. He kept chatting and bragging, and urged: "Eat quickly, I'll hurry up and take the high-speed rail later."
"Oh." Zhong Manman smiled and grabbed a piece of fish and chewed it slowly.
"You eat slowly, please give me any instructions if you need anything."
The hotel owner did not continue to disturb the guests' meals, walked outside the door, carrying an apron, a cigarette in his mouth, and hugging his waist. He watched the traffic flow on the street, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life that saw through the world.
Xu Xin ate two bowls of rice in a row, a 2 pound of fish, and had already eaten most of it. He looked up and saw that Zhong Manman didn’t eat much, “Isn’t it delicious?”
"No, it's sore throat, I can't eat it." Zhong Manman basically didn't move his chopsticks, "You just said you were going to get on the high-speed train, where are you going?"
"Go back to school." Xu Xin stirred the hot pot with chopsticks and picked up the fish fillets.
If he hadn't mentioned it on his own initiative, Zhong Manman would have forgotten that Xu Xin was really a college student.
But for some reason, she always felt that Xu Xin was much older than her.
In front of him, she sometimes felt like she was a little girl.
"I also want to treat you to dinner, this meal is too cheap." She still felt that she was owing money on gas and felt sorry for her.
"Next time." Xu Xin was full and picked up the drink and took a sip. "You have now become a formal employee of Heijin TV, and your goal has been completed.
What about the future, do you have any goals?”
Finally, he became a formal employee of Heijin TV.
Zhong Manman was very happy and excitedly didn't fall asleep one night because of this. However, after hearing Xu Xin's words, he suddenly became confused and didn't know which direction to work in next.
"I have to work hard and live up to Editor Shu's trust, but also try my best to save money. I will buy a house here in the future, and then take my mother over to live together!"
"Very good! But this goal is not difficult. I think you are a hard-working girl. Those who work hard will definitely succeed!" Xu Xin had enough food and drank, looked up at Zhong Manman's big black eyes, "I think your ability and dreams are broader, such as being the editor-in-chief of Heijin Satellite TV in the future or director."
"No."
Zhong Manman shook his head like a rattle, not looking very confident, "I interviewed you last time, and went back to edit the video, and she scolded me miserably.
I always have typos when speaking, I don’t speak fluently, and my accent is not standard, and I always have the accent of our local dialect.
She said I was not the host's material.”
"I think you did a good job." Xu Xin smiled and encouraged, looking down at the time on his phone, "Okay, I'm going to the high-speed rail station. If I go late, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
Xu Xin picked up his backpack.
Zhong Manman had no appetite and didn't eat much. He stood up and settled the bill with the boss, followed Xu Xin and walked out.
"This Friday night, you have to watch our Black Gold Satellite TV. Also, next time I come back, I will invite you to have a more expensive meal. Today I will eat a little cheaper." She instructed.
"Okay, see you later."
Xu Xin got into the taxi he had just stopped and headed straight to the high-speed rail station. He took the high-speed rail for most of the day before he arrived at the school in the evening.
...
Roommates Zheng Gaoyi and Ma Xianlin have been waiting for a long time. They are already hungry and are almost unable to hold on to order takeout, but they finally look forward to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin originally called them and said they wanted to have dinner together in the evening, but it came too late. He ordered a large portion of braised lobster with oil and a few braised dishes along the way.
A few people were in the dormitory and happily ate.
It was too late, and they didn't have the nerve to call other classmates together.
Now it's about to graduate. If it were before, these two people wouldn't have been asleep so late.
They all get up before 10 o'clock every day, and at least six o'clock the next morning, go to the cafeteria to get a bun of fried dough sticks and soy milk, and then go straight to the library. Without classes, they basically spend the whole day there, and at most they go back to the dormitory to take an hour's nap.
Now everyone's future is set and it is also the last time of their college career. It is rare to be leisurely and enjoy the fun of getting along with each other.
"I will be admitted to school in August in autumn, and I can have fun during this period." Zheng Gaoyi worked hard for four years and finally got what he wanted and went abroad to study.
"I'm about the same. Let's go to Beijing in September. It's definitely not easy to study for a graduate student. Then we can go our separate ways, and I don't know when we will get together." Ma Xianlin said with some melancholy.
Zheng Gaoyi has always been very opinionated and suggested: "Let's set a rule to get together at least once every four years in the future, and it's best to get together every year."
"Okay." After lunch at Heijin Sao, Xu Xin didn't eat anything on the high-speed rail. He was so hungry that he threw the spicy lobsters into his mouth one by one. How could he not eat enough? He had oil stains on the corners of his mouth.
"I must be in China and don't go anywhere. It depends on when Gao Yi will return to China. The holiday time there will definitely be different from ours, and your time will be the basis." He added.
"I will definitely come back during the Spring Festival and I will return to China every year." Zheng Gaoyi swore.
Ma Xianlin asked in confusion: "Where is Qian Duoduo? Didn't he say he went to your place to intern with you, why didn't he go back to school with you?"
"He is learning from his father. Qian Mining has just acquired an iron and manganese mine recently. He is participating in all the acquisition processes and becoming a qualified successor." Xu Xin quipped with a smile, "I called him before coming. I was very busy. I guess I had to wait a few days before the paper defense."
"That's right, now we're starting to inherit the family business!" Ma Xianlin laughed.
"Qian Duoduo can really do things, and it is better to do things than to play games all day long." Zheng Gaoyi is the most calm person in this dormitory, like a big brother. "In the past, I urged him not to play so many games and read more books every day, but he didn't listen. Now that he can go back to inherit the family business, his life will definitely be good in the future."
"Where are you?" Ma Xianlin suddenly asked.
"Me?" Xu Xin knew he was asking himself.
"How is the paper written?" Zheng Gaoyi also asked.
Over the past year, they have not seen Xu Xin much.
During the middle, Xu Xin only went back to school once and didn't have time to talk more. Everyone was very busy at that time.
"I'll leave it to the teacher and wait for graduation defense." Xu Xin was very confident, "It's definitely okay to get the graduation certificate."
"That's good."
Zheng Gaoyi picked up the drink and signaled everyone to have a drink, "I haven't played football together for a long time. Tomorrow I will invite the whole class to play happily!"
"I will play the striker tomorrow, so no one will compete with me. I will definitely score a goal!" Ma Xianlin laughed.
Xu Xin heard about his experience of playing football with Ma Xianlin over the past four years. This guy was a barbarian on the court, rushing around and having brute force, but he had no skills at all.
To put it bluntly, Ma Xianlin is the roughest guy on the football field.
"Don't make a fuss. You can play well in the defender. Being able to clear the ball is better than anything else. Go and play forward? I'm afraid that the street light behind the goal will be kicked off by you!" Xu Xin snorted.
"Who is better than me in my ability to shoot from a distance?" Ma Xianlin stretched his neck and explained confidently.
"You've finished shooting from a distance, go pick up the ball by yourself!" Zheng Gaoyi also started to cheer.
"If you pick up the ball, you can pick up the ball. Whoever gets close will pick it up." Ma Xianlin didn't realize how bad his skills were.
Zheng Gaoyi picked up the canned drinks and met again, "Xu Xin, where are you working? Has the internship signed a work agreement with you?"
"Uh..." Xu Xin never told everyone about his business, and didn't know where to start. "Don't worry, I'm doing a good job, I'm very popular there!"
Ma Xianlin was also worried about Xu Xin. After all, no one really entered society. He only heard that some jobs were tricky. "You have been intern there for almost a year, and you must know the company's situation, but you should be careful not to sign a cheap contract with others. It is not easy to regret it."
"If you sign a work contract, send it to us and study it together, so don't be cheated." Zheng Gaoyi also kindly reminded.
They all continue their studies, and in higher education institutions, they are relatively purer, and there are not so many dark corners.
It is not necessarily true in society. From time to time, someone will design a trap and suffer losses if you are not careful.
"No problem!" Xu Xin called out, too lazy to explain too much.
The three of them finished their midnight snacks, turned off the lights, lay on the bed, and talked all night long. They couldn't hold on until two o'clock in the morning to fall asleep.
The next morning, Zheng Gaoyi summoned all the students who were interested in football to go to the football field and play a small game.
There are few people on the court in the morning, except for some classes taking physical education classes, the football field is empty and they are allowed to occupy one.
It won't work at night, the stadium is crowded and I can't play it at all.
I changed into my jerseys and sneakers and just warmed up at the stadium. Unexpectedly, the whole class arrived. Even the five girls who could hide in sports activities before actually arrived at the stadium early.
More than a dozen students ran on the court, and more students stood on the sidelines, cheering and holding their mobile phones to record the happy time together.
The sun is burning, and after running wildly, I feel unbearable.
At the end of the half, the players ran to the sidelines to drink water.
"Xu Xin, I brought you a drink!" A girl grabbed a bottle of Coke and waited for a long time, and finally got up the courage to walk to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin looked around and found that everyone was drinking mineral water, and only he had this special treatment.
Of course, some classmates' girlfriends came to watch the game, but they did not do so specifically.
He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally reached out to catch Coke in order to avoid the girl's embarrassment, "Thank you."
