Chapter 119
No matter how difficult it is, New Year's Eve is over. From that night, the drizzling snowflakes began to float again, and they continued to float until the day of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
However, probably because the snowflakes were too small, the traffic was not affected much. In this regard, Jin Zhongming, who was driving on the local empty streets of Qingzhou, should have the most say. In fact, from his perspective, it can be clearly seen that even the road surface cleaned by the road administration department before the Spring Festival travel rush began yesterday was not covered by the snowflakes, but it showed a slightly thin white and strange black look, which formed a sharp contrast with the white capping in the green belt on the roadside.
Of course, Kim Jong-ming drove out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, not to enjoy the snow... Well, of course, it was not to hide from his mother-in-law, but to get busy again after the New Year, and may even have to stay in Seoul for several months. So it would be natural to try to deal with some important things while taking advantage of the annual leave.
What's more, the person Kim Jong-ming is visiting today happens to be a local from Qingzhou, so it is understandable to mention the schedule of visiting him today.
In this way, the Hyundai car was farther and farther away from the Daqing Lake in Qingyuan County, Qingyuan County, behind him. After carefully studying GPS navigation several times in the middle, at around 9 o'clock in the morning, Kim Jong-ming finally stopped the car near the famous Qingzhou Toad Ecological Park. Next, he walked out of the car with a pot of orchids that he took casually from Chulong's house and walked towards an old-style residential building in front of him.
"I really didn't expect you to come here..." A man with a small eyes wearing a thick down jacket stood in front of the residential building early and waited for the other party.
"It's rare that this year's Spring Festival was celebrated in Qingyuan." Kim Jong-ming replied with a disrespectful smile. "When I think that our Luo PDF seems to live here, I come here to pay New Year's greetings... It's such a cold day and it's still snowing. I hope that the PDF can enjoy a few more hot meals for my loyalty."
Luo Yingshi couldn't help laughing: "I can't stand your flattery now, and even if you don't flatter me today, it's enough! To be honest... Why did you come to Qingyuan for the New Year? When you called in the morning, I thought you were joking, so how could you come to the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
"Come to see my mother-in-law." Kim Jong-ming's face immediately became very bad. "Actually, there is no reason to come here so early today..."
Luo PDF, who had just taken the orchid, then burst into laughter and almost threw the orchid pot.
In this way, two acquaintances who had not met for a long time chatted downstairs for a few casual words, and then went upstairs together. This was actually not Luo PDF's own home, but the place where he grew up was his parents. It was the first day of the first lunar month, so the small house was filled with Luo Yingshi and his brother's family. However, these people showed good cultivation for Kim Jong-ming's arrival. After Kim Jong-ming and the two old people celebrated the New Year, everyone gathered in the living room and turned on the TV. No one disturbed Luo Yingshi and Kim Jong-ming who were staying in the study.
"Tell me... why do you come to me?" Luo Yingshi came in with two cups of hot orange juice and sat down. "I don't think you have time to be rich now and wish people a happy New Year..."
“The unreasonable promotion is not correct.
"Two One Nights" is a large outdoor variety show that KBS TV focuses on, and Luo Yingshi PDF can be said to have defended everything in the later stage of this show. For a long time, he has been silently sticking to his position without complaints. During this period, Baker's death, Kim Jong-ming's get off the car, M Meng's get off the car, and the main McC Jiang Hudong's apologies and retirement, all kinds of things are intruding on the show. However, so many things have happened so far, but they have not shaken Luo Yingshi PDF. Until now, "Two Days and One Nights" still maintains a stable rating and maintains the audience's love.
Therefore, this promotion is the result of his credit and hard work being jointly recognized in KBS."
To be honest, there is no problem with this statement, and it can even be said that the response is reasonable and well-founded. However, the real problem lies in the way this statement is transmitted, because this thing is publicly communicated within the community through internal KBS channels, and every KBS employee can see it! This also means that every person who wants to know about it can know this.
So, the seniors of the co-branded variety show were suddenly in extreme passiveness, and they could not lose the rice. Not only did they not get rid of Luo Yingshi's promotion, but they made all colleagues in the entertainment industry look at you with contempt... Then, on the other hand, when they face Luo Yingshi again, even if they were in public, they had to be stern.
Therefore, over the past month, Luo Yingshi has fallen into an extremely serious isolation within KBS, especially in the variety show.
And this is also the real origin of Luo Yingshi's feelings towards people's hearts.
"I originally wanted to endure it." Luo Yingshi shook his head. "After all, the promotion has been decided, and I often don't take it on the TV station. What's more, the lower-level staff of KBS and everyone from "Two Days and One Night" have generally expressed their support for me... But those people are getting more and more excessive!"
"How much is it too much?" Jin Zhongming laughed. "Can you still poison your lunch box to your program team and put explosives in your equipment?"
"I would rather be like that!" Luo Yingshi's expression suddenly became cold. "Do you know? I originally thought they would give you a few broken camera batteries, reduce funds, or work hard on certain things... but they didn't play these tricks."
"Then what are they doing?" Jin Zhongming was really puzzled.
"They are concentrating their efforts to get out of "Two Days and One Night"!" Luo Yingshi replied sarcastically. "There are still a few people who are motivating to transfer me from "Two Days and One Night"!"
"Human heart!" Jin Zhongming sighed to the sky. "Luo pd, do you know? A few days ago, my sister Krystal asked me about something, why do people fight each other when they are alive?"
"How did you answer?" Luo Yingshi lowered his head and took a sip of hot orange juice.
"I told her... this is nature." Jin Zhongming shook the cup in his hand. The orange juice in the cup immediately released a white steam with this action. "And this nature will become more obvious as the person's status and class improves. This is because the more he goes up, the more concentrated the power, but people who keep coming out will keep occupying the power quota that originally belonged to some other people. Therefore, even if they have no ambitions, there are natural fuses everywhere, so you can't help! In fact, after I answered Krystal, I had an idea that the fight between ancient aristocrats should be natural, and most aristocratic cultures should be based on mutual struggles... I was about to use this as the subject of my master's debate paper."
"Good theme!" Luo Yingshi nodded. "And it is indeed as you said. If you think about it carefully, almost all the classical aristocratic cultures are shaped based on power struggles... If you think about it this way, I am a little naive. Those seniors who are older than me may not have any utilitarian intentions, but when my sudden promotion occupied their share... it was really helpless!"
"Yes." Kim Jong-ming nodded thoughtfully. "KBS has rules. After being converted to a formal PDF, it starts at the administrative level of level 4. Then you will get an opportunity to be promoted every five years, and then you have to pass a three-to-one competition to successfully promote. In other words, if you want to become a second-level secondary, you must at least become a PDF ten years... But what about you? You took over "Two Days and One Night" in 2007, right? The promotion in 2009 should have been an exception, but everyone had nothing to say at that time in "Two Days and One Night" results... right?"
"Yes! Thank you Zhong Ming, for coming here to help me untie my heart..." Having said that, Luo Yingshi seemed a little discouraged.
"Actually, any TV station has such a problem." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "KBS is an official-oriented habit, and it is too difficult to get promoted, and it basically depends on qualifications; SBS is a nepotism, and too many private companies have held a lot of positions, which makes various positions full of incompetent people, and promotion seems too frivolous; at first glance, there is no such problem, but their way of voting every year for promotion is actually the easiest to cause personnel struggles, so everyone in mbc is a red-eyed rabbit who wants to bite people..."
"You're right." Luo Yingshi felt even more depressed. "Stop talking about TV stations, there is no such messy thing in the Korean workplace? Even the whole country is like this. He elects president every five years, but he is not allowed to be re-elected. Then, with the four-year congressional election, the whole country's energy is in various boring political struggles. There are not many people who really do things! The world is so big... can't he avoid these things?"
"Luo pd." Jin Zhongming lowered his head and shook the orange juice in his hand again, but the orange juice could not release much calories at this time. "I'll tell me something, try not to get angry..."
"Talk." Luo Yingshi frowned, but he didn't care. He probably thought Kim Jong-ming was going to persuade him to cheer up, but the other party's next words really made him feel a little angry.
"Luo PDF You were promoted to the second-level deputy director during New Year's Day, but I was actually my encouragement." Kim Jong-ming said with a normal expression. "As far as I know, although the Variety Show Bureau and the senior executives of KBS had a plan to deal with your contribution and hard work, the preset promotion time they had to wait 12 years or even later. However, a long time ago, your KBS director Lee Bingchun owed me a favor, so I used it. As for the reason for doing this... Actually, I want to poach you from KBS and then go to a new entertainment cable TV station to be responsible for the variety show."
Jin Zhongming said slowly, while Luo PDF was gushing his warm orange juice. When Jin Zhongming finished speaking, he also drank all the orange juice in one breath.
Well, the reason why Luo Yingshi did this at the beginning was very simple. If he didn't drink it, he was afraid that he would splash the orange juice on the other party's face and was useless to treat the other party as a brother or his own person, but the other party was playing such a conspiracy with him?!
But... after the first two mouthfuls of orange juice suppressed the most intense anger, Luo PD found that he was powerless to get angry. The last half of the glass of orange juice was swallowed with a mechanical action, which was more like finding something for himself to do, saving himself from not knowing what to do.
Putting down the empty cup, Luo Yingshi leaned back on the chair, but didn't say anything, not knowing what he was thinking. And Jin Zhongming didn't continue to say it, but what was speechless was... he began to drink his half cup of orange juice in a way similar to relay.
Drinking in small sips, it's very slow.
And after he finally finished drinking, Luo Yingshi spoke again: "Did you do the public communication of that... that explanation?"
"No." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "I just let you get promotion opportunities a year in advance. I did nothing else. Everything that followed was developed naturally within KBS."
"So that's it." Luo Yingshi felt nothing more sad than a heart-dead feeling.
"And you can continue watching Luo PDF." Kim Jong-ming continued without hesitation. "There will be something more exciting to happen! I can imagine that it will be more and more troublesome when I close my eyes. Don't talk about me, there should be other TV stations coming to contact you, and then KBS will issue another statement and probably send it directly to the media..."
"Stop talking." Luo Yingshi moved his body, changed his posture and continued to sit down. "I understand your painstaking efforts. Do you want to tell me that KBS is really not a place suitable for me. I always hope to use a sincere attitude to explore human nature with a sincere attitude... But they can't even give me the stage for me, the PDF to show my nature, so why not talk about anything else?" Speaking of this, Luo's PDF expression became a little dim, obviously recalling some things. "When everything went smoothly before, there were naturally the highest levels who supported us unconditionally. You, Brother Hudong and Zhiyuan also supported enough space for this show... I have always understood this. And now... Zhong Ming, do you think that "Two Days and One Night" can't support me or can't support "Two Days and One Night"?"
"All of them are." Kim Jong-ming was also trapped in his memories. "So... at this time, giving "Two Days and One Night" to a safe person is actually good for everyone. And Luo pd, you... there is really no need to tie yourself up to death there."
Luo Yingshi was silent for a long time, but Kim Jong-ming didn't force him, and the two sat opposite each other in the study.
After a long time, Luo PDF finally spoke: "You have just mentioned so many of the disadvantages of the three major TV stations... Then where did you ask me to go? How should I start there? First of all, I will not go to JTB where I stand at the forefront of political struggle!"
Jin Zhongming's face showed an unconcealed look of joy.
