For many Chinese people, the capital is a place that they yearn for. But for Lin Xingchen, who took the Pearl to Beijing train and arrived in this city, the capital is a sad place that cannot be looked back on.
In order to pursue dreams and stay in this city in the past life, Lin Xingchen resolutely went to Beijing to take the exam alone. However, Lin Xingchen, who had a good future, completely lost his confidence and his dream was shattered in the capital.
Standing at the exit, Lin Xingchen remembered his previous life. When he first arrived in this city, he felt that everything here seemed to be beautiful. When he left, he felt that everything here was a nightmare existence for him.
Now that he has set foot in this city again, Lin Xingchen feels that the pace of life here is still not what he likes. Even in the eyes of many people, this is the capital and the location of a country's highest power symbol.
But as more and more people hope to stay in this city and become a member of this city, various problems arise. Before rebirth, news about the city can often be seen from the Internet.
Although now, there is no sight of the haze covering the whole city. But Lin Xingchen knew that he could not change the future fate of the city. In a few years, the haze would still reappear over the city.
For many people who have experienced the great changes in China, the crisis behind the rapid development is also staged in this country with steadily increasing comprehensive national strength. Various potential crises caused by development will also be presented to the Chinese people one by one.
The problem of domestic water pollution and the problem of air pollution. It seems that the entire country is not as concerned as in later generations. Unfortunately, Lin Xingchen is powerless even if he wants to worry about these major national affairs.
This time when he came to Beijing, Lin Xingchen only brought a computer bag, even if he was carrying less luggage with him. For him, this time he was invited to Beijing, and when the matter was settled, he would immediately return to his hometown and stay with his parents as a filial son.
In this life, Lin Xingchen already knew that pursuing dreams is important. But as a son, filial piety is equally important. He did not want to wait until his parents are old to realize that he missed too much, which should belong to him and his parents’ happy memories.
Just like a famous song in later generations, many people will involuntarily ask the previous sentence "Where has time gone" and unknowingly, time has been lost from you and the people around you.
Perhaps because of the winter vacation of many universities, Lin Xingchen could see that many students of his age walked towards the exit with excitement and eagerness when leaving the station.
Lin Xingchen, who also had the flow of people out of the station, looked at the young people who met with their families and shared their happiness with joy. He missed his parents far away from his hometown even more. He knew that his parents were looking forward to him going home as soon as possible.
This time when he was invited to the capital, Lin Xingchen could only apologize to his parents. He was supposed to be home now, but this time he was probably a few days later than others. His parents understood Lin Xingchen's apology, so he asked him to pay more attention to his health and did not blame him too much.
I even learned that Lin Xingchen had only been enrolled for half a year, and a script was valued by the director. He also invited him to discuss the script. Lin Xingchen's parents seemed to think that letting his son go to an art school may be the most correct choice.
Although they miss their son who had been away from home for half a year, they prefer the latter than their son's promisingness. Lin Xingchen can guess at some of his parents' thoughts at this moment, even though he had never felt the taste of being a father in his previous life.
Just as Lin Xingchen was looking around at the platform entrance, a middle-aged man who looked a little old seemed to be in a hurry. He held a handwritten board to pick up the station sign and looked at the outbound passengers who were walking out nervously.
Lin Xingchen, who was not far from the other party, looked at the signs held in the middle-aged man's hand and the words on it made him shake his head. The reason was very simple. The other party came to pick him up, but he didn't even know what his surname was.
The reason for thinking this way is that the other party's sign reads "Mr. XC of Mingzhu". This slightly weird code name made many passengers look at each other. I wonder if Mr. XC would be a foreigner?
Even though Lin Xingchen's heart is strong, he can't help but feel the urge to withdraw. But he knew that this should be the person sent by Haidian Company to pick him up. If he didn't meet with the other party and could go to Haidian Company, he would be afraid that the price would not be cheap.
In view of the benefits of saving money and worry, Lin Xingchen looked at everyone with the side gaze. In the middle-aged man, he squeezed out a smile in his eyes, saying, "Hello! Are you from Haidian Company? I am XC!"
Since this guy doesn't know his name, Lin Xingchen has to say the code name. As long as he says the name of the other party's company, Lin Xingchen will know that the other party should know that he has picked up the wrong person.
Sure enough, when he heard Lin Xingchen telling his identity, the other party immediately put down the board and said a little apologetically: "Hello Mr. XC, I'm very sorry. I encountered a traffic jam when I came just now, which made you wait for a long time!
I am Chen Daming, the agent of Shasha. I have been hearing Shasha say that Mr. XC is young. Now I see that, I really can’t believe it. Mr. XC is so young that he can create such excellent original songs.”
Looking at this guy, he was a little unstoppable. Lin Xingchen interrupted decisively: "Thank you for your appreciation. If it is convenient, I wonder if there are some words that can be said on the road. There are many pedestrians here, which makes people feel bad."
In order to end this conversation that was chanted by Tang Seng, Lin Xingchen could only use an excuse to stop the other party's seemingly endless nagging. Chen Daming, who also realized this, a sincere apology.
It is said that the agent is very strong, but Lin Xingchen thought that the agent he met this time did not seem to be like the agent, but rather like a woman who likes to nag. Is it really okay to be an agent like this?
As Lin Xingchen successfully got into the car driven by the other party, Chen Daming said politely: "The way we came was too urgent. I didn't ask Shasha, your surname is yours. I'm really embarrassed. I don't know what Mr. XC's surname is!"
Even though Lin Xingchen was a top agent who realized this later, he really heard about it for the first time even though he was a human being in two lives. But he still smiled and said, "My surname is Lin, and my name is Xingchen. These two English words are the abbreviations of my name!"
‘Then I will call you Mr. Lin. I guess Mr. Lin doesn’t mind it? I feel a little awkward to always call your English name. By the way, Mr. Lin, do you want to go to the company first or go to the hotel to rest first?’
After another series of inquiries, Lin Xingchen also felt that whether he minded or not, the other party had already replaced the previous Mr. XC with the title of "Mr. Lin". It seems that he was the best, but it seems that he was right.
In order to maintain politeness and demeanor, Lin Xingchen quickly said: "It doesn't matter. If you can, Brother Chen can also call me Xiaolin. If Miss Jin is still in the company at this moment, please send me to the company first!"
Hearing Lin Xingchen's choice, Chen Daming complimented: "Mr. Lin is really dedicated. No wonder he is so young, so he can achieve such success. Okay, then I will take you to the company first, Shasha is always looking forward to your arrival!"
Lin Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry for such compliments. In short, seeing the eloquence of this agent, he also admired Jinsha's dare to choose such a top-notch person as his agent.
Perhaps when he saw Lin Xingchen, he seemed reluctant to talk and began to look out of the car. Chen Daming, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you should have been to the capital before? Everything is good in this capital, but the traffic is too congested."
Faced with the agent's inquiry, Lin Xingchen said somewhat inattentively: "This is the capital, and it is normal to be blocked!"
What made Lin Xingchen speechless was that during the next drive, this agent could always find the topic. Lin Xingchen, who wanted to wait quietly, could not enjoy the quiet for a moment. But he still admired that this top-notch agent could indeed talk!
Even if his temperament is so polite and humble, this guy's polite and humble attitude makes it difficult to spread. I believe that other people, if they have such an agent, often feel like this.
Perhaps Jinsha would choose Chen Daming as his agent, and his eloquence accounts for a large part of the factors. With such a broker who can talk about cooperation and business, he will definitely succeed if he takes action!
Fortunately, after leaving the train station, the congestion that Chen Daming was worried about did not happen. The car miraculously arrived at the company, and except for the traffic lights, it had never been blocked at once.
This situation made Chen Daming, who got off the car, sighed again: "Ah! It seems that after Mr. Lin's glory today, there was no traffic jam along the way. This is really luck! It seems that inviting Mr. Lin to come will really bring good luck!"
Looking at the agent's sincere expression, Lin Xingchen finally understood. Why did Sun Wukong get angry by Tang Seng in the Westward Journey? It turns out that the man has turned on the nagging mode, and his lethality is really extraordinary! (A good activity with pie falling from the sky, a cool phone is waiting for you to get!
