Pandora's Box

I went through that video several times, frame by frame, from head to toe, double-checking to see if I had any tell-tale signs from behind the camera, or some silliness.

The conclusion is that there should be no... right?

Although no one cares about this, and it doesn't matter much, I'm still afraid that any bad details about me will fall into Zhuo Wenyang's eyes.

I have done a lot of psychological construction for this, and I am ready every day.

As a result, apart from the increase in the number of fans on the account and the fact that the video continued to shine on hot searches, there was no further movement.

Zhuo Wenyang did not contact me.

No one suspected of him, or anyone suspected of being related to him, contacted me.

I can't help but reflect, am I thinking too much?

Maybe the video I made was just a coincidence that those tubas appreciated it, and it wasn't a deliberate arrangement by someone to promote it.

But the possibility of this is not very high.The content I produced before has also received some large-scale spontaneous recommendations and reposts, but the scale and popularity are completely different from now.

Or, this is indeed Zhuo Wenyang's operation, but he didn't come after me.

He came for Zhao Ziyue, Zhao Zichao's brother.

Zichao's outstanding performance in the team should get everyone's attention and love soon.And with his personality, he will inevitably talk about his hometown and his brother's ideals enthusiastically.In addition, Zhuo Wenyang had met Zhao Ziyue before, and Zhao Ziyue probably left a good impression on him.

Zhuo Wenyang probably wanted to help because of this - after all, Zhao Ziyue is the protagonist in the video, and he can be recognized at a glance.

Inference like this, everything is much more reasonable.

Since this has nothing to do with me, I don't have to be so nervous that I can't sleep at night.

It's just that I was faint, and my heart seemed to become empty.

However, everyone attributed this wave of enthusiasm to me, and praised me a lot.

I am not happy.Only I know that it's actually not at all my fault or even my cause.I am totally ashamed of it.

So I said to Zhao Ziyue: "Tell them not to flatter me, you are the biggest contributor to this matter."

Zhao Ziyue smiled and said, "How could that be?"

"Really, you see that many fans are here for you, and the comments are all praising you, and since you joined the video shooting, our view volume has grown by leaps and bounds," I explained half-truthfully, " You are the core."

Zhao Ziyue smiled and said: "If I have to say it, it should be after you joined that the operation of our account was on the right track, and the more we did it, the better. So who is the core, isn't it clear at a glance?"

I sighed inwardly.

He is really a person of good character, not arrogant, not greedy for merit.Even in the tide of praise, he will not lose himself, but maintain his sobriety and humility.

No wonder Zhuo Wenyang was willing to help him.

Z Town's fame has really risen. A little-known town has suddenly received a lot of attention. Although it is expected, it is really unexpected.After everyone was overjoyed at the beginning, they soon fell into a situation of being overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

The public opinion came overwhelming, praise and praise mixed with doubts and slanders, which made it difficult for everyone to resist for a while.All kinds of invitations and contacts, both true and false, good and bad, also flocked in. It is already difficult to cope with our current manpower just to pick and choose and respond.

It's good to strike while the iron is hot, but everyone is dying of exhaustion.

As the youngest one and the one most familiar with new media, I naturally took most of the work.

When Zhao Ziyue brought me a pack of ham sausage and marinated eggs, I almost couldn't figure out which day I was spending the night in the office.

Zhao Ziyue apologized: "You have worked hard."

"It's not hard," I scrambled to eat the instant noodles, "I'm paid."

Zhao Ziyue smiled wryly and said, "Just your little salary, hey..."

I said as I ate, "It's not bad for money. Look at the instant noodles I eat here. It's the biggest and most expensive kind in the canteen. It's very luxurious."

I know that Zhao Ziyue really wants to raise my salary, but there are so many places where money is needed, and everyone's salary can't be raised, how can I squeeze out extra funds for me.

Zhao Ziyue feels guilty about this, I don't care at all, if I want money, I won't come to do this job.I put Cheng Yichen's money in my financial management, and my daily income is more than my salary, so I can live comfortably without worrying about food and clothing.

This can be regarded as eating old.

Probably also tired, Zhao Ziyue pulled up a chair and sat down beside him, put one hand on the table, propped his chin, and tilted his head to watch me eat noodles.

It's rare for me to see him look so relaxed, his cheeks are squeezed by his palms, his eyelashes are drooping, he looks very cute and kind.

He laughed and said, "You temporary worker, the daily working hours are longer than regular workers."

I said boldly: "Those who are capable do more work."

Then he laughed to himself.

Zhao Ziyue wondered, "What are you laughing at?"

I said: "I never thought that I could say such words from my own mouth in my life. I also have times when I am a 'capable person'!"

Zhao Ziyue raised his eyebrows: "You are indeed capable, you are the hero of our town Z."

I laughed so hard that the noodles went straight into my nostrils.

Zhao Ziyue hurriedly grabbed a tissue for me.While I was snorting and blowing my nose, I suddenly heard him say, "Actually, I have some good news here."

I finally blew the damn noodles out and started eating the marinated eggs again, asking, "What is it?"

"If nothing else happens, the Zhuo Group has plans to invest in our town."

Before I had time to bite into a piece of corned egg, it slipped into my throat abruptly, choking me so much that I almost rolled my eyes, and finally swallowed it hard. Just as I was about to speak, the remaining crumbs of egg yolk choked into my trachea again .

This hero was actually beaten to death by a harmless stewed egg, Zhao Ziyue hurriedly patted me on the back.

I struggled to cough while not forgetting to ask: "Ahem, cough, yes, yes..."

"Yes, sure, not a liar."

Many invitations will be sent to private messages or mailboxes of official accounts, and some people will choose to contact the staff of government offices directly.

Although I have to browse through a large number of private messages, I don't think I will miss Zhuo Wenyang's related information.

So they contacted Zhao Ziyue directly.

Thinking about it, it's normal, isn't it originally aimed at Zhao Ziyue?

I said, "It's unlikely that Zhuo Wenyang—ah, Zhuo Wenyang is the boss of the Zichao team—does it himself?"

Zhao Ziyue said: "He is responsible."

"..." I blew my nose again, and said, "Wow, they take it so seriously, it's really a good opportunity."

I know that Zhuo Wenyang is very busy, and he is not a person who likes to hold all the authority in his hands. He is willing to delegate the control of many tasks.

The GLX team is nothing more than that. Zhuo Wenyang is young and keen, and has a certain understanding of the e-sports market. It is very reasonable for him to be in charge.

But coming to such a small place as Z town, they voted for a project that was not too big for them.Normally speaking, Zhuo Wenyang didn't need to be dispatched for such a trivial matter.

Zhuo Wenyang did it so personally, naturally because of his extra care.

This is very good. For the two brothers of the Zhao family, it is very lucky to meet such a noble person as Zhuo Wenyang and to be seen by Zhuo Wenyang.

I am very happy for Zhao Ziyue.

But I also hate the little bit of sadness that looms over me.

That kind of sadness makes me feel like I have a lot of narrow-minded bad thoughts.And this was even more unbearable in front of the upright and upright Zhao Ziyue.

Not long after, Zhao Ziyue happily told me that Zhuo Wenyang was really going to come to Z town in person.

I didn't expect them to act so fast, and they valued it so much.

Zhao Ziyue was in charge of negotiating matters related to investment projects.I don't understand those, and it has nothing to do with me as a temporary worker.

So I don't have to meet Zhuo Wenyang at that time, which is good.

I continued to work hard as my editor under the skin of the official media, and continued to work hard in obscurity, while dealing with all kinds of unknown letters.Zhuo Wenyang will not find me, nor is he looking for me.

Today I am going to meet with Zhuo Wenyang and his team. Before departure, Zhao Ziyue carefully tidied himself up and asked me to help check.

Although he is usually a clean and tidy person, once he dresses up a little and puts on a suit and shirt with seriousness (though it is not expensive), he is really handsome and a little unreasonable.

Even for a moment, I couldn't help thinking superficially what he was doing in this small place, reckless.

But gold always shines.Wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and handsome people are not afraid of remote places.

"Well," he asked me a little nervously, "is it decent?"

I nodded frequently: "Very good, very good."

"is it?"

"There is just one shortcoming."

"What is it?"

I joked: "You are a bit too handsome, you may steal Zhuo Wenyang's limelight and put pressure on him."

Zhao Ziyue smiled: "Mr. Zhuo is not here for a beauty pageant."

"There's always competition between men," I said, "do you want to think about not dressing up so well, or messing up your hair..."

Hey, I'm too bad. I hope that Zhuo Wenyang will favor him, but I don't want him to be too favored.

Zhao Ziyue smiled and said: "There is no time. Speaking of which, are you really not going with me? It is your credit."

I shook my head: "No, it has nothing to do with me. Don't mention me. I'll work from home today. The chair can be more comfortable. I've been too tired from sleeping in the office recently."

After Zhao Ziyue left, I tossed and turned on the hotel bed, unable to cut a video for a long time.In the end, I couldn't help getting up, put on a sweater and went out.

I walked into the office building of the town government familiarly, and walked all the way to the conference room.

Squatting under the window sill, through the window glass, I saw Zhuo Wenyang again.

I'm talking nonsense, he wasn't upstaged by Zhao Ziyue.Although the two stand together, they are evenly matched, straight and handsome, but Zhuo Wenyang will never be robbed of the limelight by anyone.

Then I saw the two of them smiling and looking at each other, and reaching out for a handshake.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but the hand was held for a long time, and the pair stared at each other for a long time.It's been too long for my little eyes to bear.

Unable to peek any longer, I quietly retracted my head from above the window sill.
