Chapter 174 Uncontrollable Tears
That night, the crew of the "Love's Star Journey" program booked the largest restaurant at the Hill Snow Mountain Resort.
After being frozen outside for so long, everyone felt like they had come back to life as soon as they stepped into the warm restaurant.
With Yu Chonglan and the ARES team present, the celebration banquet became even more lively.
Under the director's guidance, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the successful conclusion of "Love's Star Journey".
Wen Wei said, "Isn't the science professor going to say a few words?"
Jiang Hong and Ludwig chimed in, "Director, say a few words!"
Ke Mo had no choice but to stand in front of everyone. He originally just wanted to say a few words to summarize the evening and tell everyone to have a good time, but under the influence of alcohol, he became emotional as he spoke.
"...This is also my first time doing this type of variety show, and there are many shortcomings. I also seem to have had some bad luck. It should have ended a long time ago, but it has been dragged on until now. Fortunately, everything is fine, both for our guests and for the show itself." Ke Mo's eyes were moist, and his voice was a little choked up. "I am really grateful for everyone's cooperation and understanding."
As the chief director of a large-scale variety show, Ke Mo is 27 years old, which is too young. He believes that his resume is not particularly outstanding and he has no idea why he was chosen as the director of "Love's Star Journey".
There are many voices around him saying that he got in through connections and waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Ke Mo was unable to refute it, nor did he focus on it. All he could do was produce results and use facts to silence the rumors.
The pressure is too great, and insomnia and staying up all night to plan the next steps for the program have become the norm.
He weighed himself yesterday and found he had lost more than ten kilograms since he first started preparing for the show.
Upon seeing the director cry, the others dared not cause any more trouble and went to comfort him.
Wen Shumu put down his wine glass and walked to Ke Mo's side: "Director Ke, you are the first person to show me kindness after I decided to participate in the show. It is also because of you that I was able to enjoy every recording of the show and truly treat it as a trip."
Wen Wei chimed in, "Yes, you've done a great job!"
Their words of comfort had the opposite effect; Ke Mo's tears, which had been welling up in his eyes, fell immediately upon hearing their words.
Everyone panicked immediately.
Ying Xingfei did not step forward; instead, he stood in a corner of the restaurant, far away from Ke Mo.
This perspective is very similar to that of when he first met Ke Mo.
At that time, he went to Soman Film and Television for a shareholders' meeting. During a break in the meeting, he came out for some fresh air and unintentionally heard a reprimanding voice at the corner of the corridor.
"You've been on set for so long and you still don't know your place. You're so clumsy. Would it kill you to chat with the guests for a couple of minutes? Would it hurt you to be touched by them? You're just a junior producer. Do you think you can be as pampered as the guests? If you don't want to work here, then get out..."
Ying Xingfei had no interest in prying into such a scene; it was just that his angle allowed him to see the source of the sound.
If he remembered correctly, the beer-bellied man who was cursing and swearing was supposed to be the director of a popular variety show, and as for the one being scolded...
Ying Xingfei glanced at the person casually; the person had delicate features and teary eyes.
He was clearly very wronged, but he didn't say a word. Only his uncontrollable tears betrayed his sadness.
It was in that one glance that an idea suddenly popped into Ying Xingfei's mind.
It turns out that in this boring world, when someone really cries... it doesn't feel annoying.
Ying Xingfei always acts on impulse. Once he becomes interested in someone, regardless of the nature of his feelings, he decides to go to that person's side and find out for himself.
After having someone investigate Ke Mo, he roughly learned that he was a talented young director who had produced popular online variety shows, but he had no background and had offended some big shots in the industry, so he was transferred to the beer-bellied man's team as a PD.
Ying Xingfei felt that he couldn't keep going to Soman Film and Television every day. Since some people didn't want to see Ke Mo rise to prominence, he would arrange for Ke Mo to be placed in a dazzling position where he would be the center of attention.
Or rather, if it weren't for the suppression, Kemo would have reached this position long ago.
Having helped Ke Mo this far, Ying Xingfei felt he had done enough goodwill as a passerby. What happened next was none of his concern; he could simply remain an observer.
But if people could control their own hearts, there wouldn't be so many complicated emotions in this world.
*
Ke Mo didn't want to worry everyone because of his emotional fluctuations and ruin the good atmosphere of the celebration banquet, so he forced himself to stop crying and told everyone to have fun.
Someone started playing upbeat music, and Kemo quickly seized the opportunity to retreat to a corner when no one was looking.
Ying Xingfei happened to be there as well.
After spending so much time together, Ke Mo also noticed that whenever he saw Ying Xingfei, he would feel a sense of security for no reason, as if no matter how big the problem was, Ying Xingfei could always find a solution.
It wasn't until the not-too-distant future, when Ying Xingfei pinned him against the wall and kissed him, that he finally understood what this feeling of security was called—
A deeper kind of liking than dependence.
Some lively people, like Hermeyer and Ludwig, went to the dance floor as soon as the music started.
The difference is that Hermeyer was alone, while Ludwig was with Chuzhao.
Adolphus was also there. He was sitting at a round table, watching his two beloved students dancing cheek to cheek on the dance floor. He barely managed to suppress the urge to roll his eyes and took a big gulp of his wine.
Jian You and Ling Suyu were also sitting around this round table.
Wen Shumu was supposed to be there too, but he's currently busy taking photos with Wen Wei and various staff members, so he can't come back for the time being.
In this indoor setting, Jian You could no longer wear snow goggles, so she switched to dark sunglasses.
Wearing sunglasses indoors at night might seem odd in other settings. However, the staff present had all dealt with celebrities and their executives in the entertainment industry to some extent, and they simply assumed he was a high-ranking, aloof VIP from somewhere.
Even through his sunglasses, Ling Suyu could sense that Jian You seemed to be in a good mood.
Jian You and Adolphus downed several drinks in a row.
Even with a high alcohol tolerance, it's hard not to get drunk if you drink like this.
At another round table, Jiang Hong crossed his arms and unconsciously gnawed on his thumb, his bright eyes scanning back and forth between the two Alphas.
He was originally trying to get Jiang Xun's autograph, but Jiang Xun came over on his own and even chatted with Yan Zezheng, bypassing him.
Jiang Xun mainly asked questions, and Yan Zezheng answered them.
Jiang Xun: "Where do you usually like to go during your time off?"
Yan Zezheng: "I either help out at my father's mecha experience center or stay in my room and sleep."
Jiang Xun: "How often do you maintain your Chiyan?"
Yan Zezheng: "It depends on the wear and tear from the competition. When there are no competitions, it's once every three months."
Jiang Xun: "Can you accept sleeping on the streets?"
"Yes, we used to sleep outdoors a lot when we were training..." Yan Zezheng answered casually, but his expression became more and more confused, not understanding how the topic of sleeping on the streets suddenly came up.
Jiang Hong listened from the side, her gaze occasionally drifting towards Jiang Xun, becoming more and more moved as she listened.
His brother really cares about his idol, and even subtly mentioned his unique hobby of "sleeping on the streets" during their chat, which piqued the idol's interest.
She's truly a role model for fans!
He should learn from Jiang Xun!
