2084

Ling Yan had a sudden emotional breakdown at night.

In the evening, he originally had a live interview.The flagship program of Pearl TV, the top domestic media, and the anchor reporter Janash who interviewed this time, are even more famous for being good at interviewing influential figures in the political arena.

Ling Yan was wearing his own private clothes, the make-up artist was useless, so he simply trimmed his face.

In the spacious living room of the Capitol building, the set lights were in place, Ms. He and Xiao Wen stood shoulder to shoulder behind the camera, listening to the director shouting "Three two one, start!"

Ling Yan didn't accept individual interviews or participate in programs before, so he was allowed to speak, except for activities in Zone VI, that is, at official press conferences.Therefore, the work of Ling Yan's news team is relatively light. Although Xiao Wen, the head of news, is nominally the second-in-command of Ling Yan's staff, in fact, the right to speak is as high as Ms. He's.

Xiaowen has been working for Ling Yan for more than a year. It was originally just a little-known role in the media team. More than half a year ago, their media director——Ji An suddenly jumped to Mr. Boqi's team without warning. All of a sudden, they were in a mess without a leader.

I don't know whether Ling Yan was on purpose or not, but among the many people at that time, he caught his eye and asked, "Wen Quan, right?"

Some people say that when their husband takes a look at it, they will feel their heart beat faster on the spot.That time, Wen Quan raised his eyes in shock, mumbled, and could hardly find his own voice.He said yes.

Ling Yan looked at him and nodded, "Then you can lead everyone to work hard in the future."

On that day, he was ordered in danger.

No one knows why the boss chose him. He seems to have acted casually and thought it through. No one knows his thoughts, but the boss can call everyone in the work team by name, no matter who is unknown all day long. The role is still an intern who has just become a regular.Although he was usually very busy and would not take the initiative to talk to them, he knew them.

Compared with Zhang Yang, the previous media executive, he kept to himself. He seemed to be polishing the jewels in the crown every day, taking care of all the external publicity and image issues of his boss carefully and carefully.He admired him so much, this too young and perfect man, every time he finished his work report and walked out of the office, he couldn't help but look back at him again.Even if he could only look at him from a distance like this, he felt happy.

That is a man who does not allow outsiders to easily step into his private domain.

After a long investigation period, before the broadcast of "Reading the World", Ms. He suddenly visited his home one night and signed another non-disclosure agreement with him, welcoming him into the core of the team.

It's nice to be trusted, it means he's finally getting closer to that man.But then Ms. He almost frightened him into a fool. She took out the medical certificate and told him solemnly, "Mr. has a severe mental disorder. This is the diagnosis information. You should always do the highest level of crisis public relations for this matter." Deal with it, and come up with the most feasible preparation plan for archiving within a week."

He was completely dumbfounded.

He seemed to understand all those words, but he just couldn't understand them together.

Ms. He still insisted, "Once someone finds out that Mr. is taking medicine, do you know the seriousness of it? People will feel cheated, Mr.'s political life will face a devastating blow, and his private life will also be threatened. ——Xiaowen, cheer up, we believe in you, you will do well, right? "

If you ask Wen Quan how he felt at that time.He couldn't tell.Distressed?Maybe.

But more is the failure, the failure of faith; the collapse, the collapse of the idol.

Ling Yan's parents and grandparents are the kind of people whose fame has reached the top of the pyramid. How many impossible things they have achieved in this country, how many agreements that are almost impossible to achieve, and how many seemingly contradictory societies have been formed. The alliance, even leveraged many stubborn ethos in society - genius, temperament, life experience, thoughts, they are intertwined into a magical and lofty magic power in Ling Yan, and the whole world is waiting to hold his breath for him.

This is the Prince Charming of the people of the whole country. One look can make men and women of the right age all over the country scream. He doesn't need to inherit any political legacy from his parents.

Then he was told that such a perfect and elegant man had a broken heart and a mental disorder.

Miss He is right, no one will accept it.

Just as Alyosha worshiped Zosima and thought that the elder was a saint on earth and should be alive in the coffin after death, they would blame him if Zosima's remains rotted.

Blame him for failing people's wholehearted love, blame him for deception and humiliation, blame him for not being able to entrust miracles, blame him for being mortal.

In front of the camera, the political-related questions have been asked, and Janash is slowly transitioning to personal questions.

After all, this is the first time Ling Yan has been interviewed by the media about his parents, upbringing, and family. No, this is his first private interview—when Janash sent the interview invitation to the Capitol a week ago, She didn't report any fantasies at all, and she thought her eyes were dazzled when she received the reply letter agreeing to interview.

Of course, Ling Yan stated conditions in his reply letter, the first one is not allowed to interview his relationship, please respect him and his lover.

But that's enough.

Yanash was well prepared and handed him the cover of the old magazine from the video.It was a special issue of the 50 most influential women selected in the middle of this century. On the cover, there was only a close-up of Wen Hui. In the photo, she was gazing at the camera gently, with a just-right smile on her lips, softly closing on her chin. A pretty tip.

"It's my mother," Ling Yan took it, and couldn't help smiling, "She was so beautiful back then."

"The bright moonlight looking at each other is the dream lover of the people of the whole country."

Yanash said sincerely, "You are very similar to your mother."

A reserved smile appeared in Ling Yan's eyes, "I'm not as powerful as her. She promoted secularism and women's liberation, promoted in vitro reproduction for reproduction, and liberated women..."

Just an hour ago, Ling Yan had already said similar words.He was sitting in his office at that time, Xiao Wen knocked on the door and came in to make preparations for today's live broadcast - this is Ling Yan's habit: never fight unprepared battles, no matter how big or small the battle is.

Speaking of accepting Yanash’s interview invitation, it was Xiaowen’s suggestion, because after the hit of “Reading the World”, the media and the public searched for Ling Yan’s information too hard, although all Ling Yan’s records were wiped clean, But Xiaowen still thinks that instead of letting others continue to investigate in this way, it is better to take the initiative to guide and let the people's enthusiasm for Ling Yan be transferred to his family and the recent [-]th anniversary of the Utopia Management Committee—because of the recent mid-term elections, The prime minister is constantly trying to win over the management committee, and Ling Yan also needs to follow the example to find some reason to ease the conflict.

In fact, when the prime minister and the cabinet mentioned the matter of the management committee, Ling Yan hesitated.Sometimes when I think about how many times he boycotted the management committee's bills before, it seems like a dream.Even Lin Shaohu from the management committee sold him a good deal at a banquet, saying that when Utopia pushed his related content, he did an optimal screening, hoping to get along with Ling Yan in the future.

Ling Yan didn't say anything, he knew that if the management committee saw that he didn't get a share of the pie, they would always be worried.

And the story of Ling Yan's parents is full of gimmicks.

After his father passed away, his mother committed suicide. The media reported the love story widely, and in the eyes of the public, they were like lovebirds in the sky. When one died, the other also died in mourning—— There is no need for too many descriptions, the four words "life and death go hand in hand" can make enough tears.

What's more, it's always easier for people who draw conclusions than living people.

When he finished his proposal, Ling Yan cast an intriguing look at him, as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter, and finally he made a final decision, "Then you can find the previous interview reports of my parents and study them. I don’t want to have any discrepancy with what they said before.”

"...women elated because she felt relieved that she might not have been perfect, but she did her best and never let up until her death."

"Then you must love your parents very much."

"of course."

"You're not acting affectionate enough."

"what?"

I don't know why, but the boss's state today is always a little bit wrong.He sat up straighter than before, but he didn't feel the spirit of the past, and his stiff back almost had a sharp weakness.

Xiaowen glanced at him with complicated eyes, and called up a video from his Utopia, which was a scene of Ling Yan being asked about his parents when he was speaking in the constituency. He paused, then zoomed in, and said, "Every time you mention When it came to your parents, you acted...not affectionate, as if you were discussing someone else's parents."

If you get off to a bad start, it won't help if you play later.

Ling Yan didn't speak.

Xiaowen continued, "At that time, the voters didn't know that your parents were Mr. Ling and Ms. Wen, so not many people paid attention to this, but now it's different, you have to show that... the feeling that ordinary children refer to their parents... ..."

Xiaowen thought about the words, and when he racked his brains and wanted to blurt out "kind admiration", Ling Yan stopped and said, "Then let's do it again."

Ling Yan took a deep breath, trying to relax his muscles and adjust his expression.

Smile, "Of course, they are my role models since I was a child. They are amazing in my heart. I have protected them since I was a child, and I still do it now-they are not only heroes, but also connected with me..."

"Sorry to interrupt," Xiaowen flipped through his memo, "Just now you said that when you were a child, your parents took you to the Concorde Square to tell stories about dead heroes..."

"how?"

"Maybe you can tell me something you haven't said before, the details between your parents? Lovely ones? Like ordinary people?"

For some reason, since he learned about Ling Yan's medical records that day, his mentality has changed. Although he still admires him, he is no longer as tolerant as before.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Yan was immediately stopped by the question.

He was like an hourglass whose grains of sand had been completely drained, and there was that kind of dazed, blank look on his face that had never appeared before—not because of Xiao Wen's unfathomably harsh tone, but because of Xiao Wen's question, he asked him down.

After a while, he thought of Xia Chuncao and Qi An last night, and then tentatively asked, "The details of love?... For example, at a private banquet, my mother would secretly pour all the wine that my mother couldn't finish into me while no one was looking. Father's cup, let him drink it for her? Does this count?"

Xiao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, "Forget it! Forget it!"

Ling Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"My father is a person with very strong political beliefs. He told me that he firmly believed that every drop of his blood was shed for the prosperity of this country in his life. Although my mother did not fully participate in politics, she also engaged in some Worked in politics, fought for women's rights, and she was sharp, intelligent, and amazingly insightful."

Janash asked with interest, "So they are kindred spirits?"

"Yeah, kindred spirits. So they fell in love and got married."

"But I've seen rumors that they didn't actually get married, they just signed PACS."

PACS, Emergency Relationship Civil Agreement, aka Cohabitation Agreement.It is a form of civil union other than marriage.

Ling Yan smiled, "It's nonsense."

Under the lens, his smile is full of brilliance.

"But it is rumored that they live apart all the year round and don't live together."

Ling Yan saw the trick, "This is fiction. They have a very good relationship. They don't live together because of work. After all, my father and mother always go back and forth between the capital and District XXI. They always live here and there... …Living together every day is really too demanding for a politician, don’t ordinary people still have to travel back and forth frequently?”

"But politicians are no better than ordinary people. Wouldn't it be difficult for your parents to run a family?"

"It's really difficult." Ling Yan leaned forward slightly, he was prepared for this question, "But a talented person wants to realize his career ambitions while maintaining a happy family life, no matter what his profession is, he Whether you are a man or a woman, it’s difficult—you can still give full play to your talents without giving up your family and love. I don’t see many situations where you can balance the two, but my parents are indeed two of them. So I hope I can be as lucky as them."

Xiao Wen asked, "Did you have a happy childhood?"

Ling Yan clenched his fingers tightly as if he had been stung hard by something.

After hesitating for 0.1 second, he nodded, "Of course."

The most tragic part of the family is the repetition of life.

This second of hesitation is enough for Xiaowen, who studies micro-expressions and media majors.

Then Xiaowen fell silent.

When he spoke again, his tone was blunt and reproachful, "Sir, time is running out now, I know you are not used to talking about family matters, but you have to be prepared for this kind of question, Janash will only be more aggressive than me, she will hit you Unprepared, your answer must be swift and decisive."

When he said this, there was almost some kind of sharp pain in his heart.

He didn't want this either, he was about to cry.He didn't want to force him like this. Speaking of which, the person in front of him was younger than him, but this was his job. His job was to make his boss look the best when facing the camera. He hoped that the person in front of him No matter what the real situation is, you must not collapse in front of the camera and the public.

In the imminent situation, Ling Yan pursed his lower lip, and there was almost a desperate struggle in his eyes, "It is indeed difficult for a person to fulfill the responsibilities of his parents when he joins the public office, but my parents will go home to accompany me regularly. Happiness and comfort, life has everything..."

"Sir!" Xiao Wen interrupted him again.

"You don't need to use long explanatory sentences, you want to be firm, decisive, and unassailable - you must convince yourself before you convince others! - Here we go again."

He is not alone, he is a great projection of this era.

In the conference room on the top floor of the Capitol building, several cameras were broadcasting a nationwide live TV broadcast. In the camera, Janash asked Ling Yan, "Did you have a happy childhood?"

"happiness."

"Do your parents love you?"

"Love me."

"really?"

"real."

Boundless glory, from now on, is also boundless loneliness.
