Chapter 54: Choose Your Own Path in Life
Chen Lin's range is relatively wide and her tone is clear. She ordered a song "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond" and sang it very interesting. Then Tang Wei also ordered a song "Hero Song", which roared heart-wrenchingly, as if she wanted to yell out all the depression through singing.
After Tang Wei sang, Ye Mengxi ordered Yang Yuying's song "I'm waiting for you in spring". Ye Mengxi's voice was sweet and beautiful. Listening to her singing, people's mood could easily calm down, just like listening to the little girl next door talking.
Yang Yuying was once the most famous sweet-sweet girl singer in China. Later, she was involved in a major corruption case and was revealed to be a second-generation official, and has since become infamous.
"I'm waiting for you in spring" is Yang Yuying's first single sing more than ten years later, after her comeback last year. On the basis of her sweetness in the past, she has added some vicissitudes.
Ye Mengxi interpreted this feeling very well. She may have been inspired by singing this song. Regardless of Yang Yuying's personal character, it seems difficult in the entertainment industry to stay away from unspoken rules.
This is of course related to personal character, but just like that ancient proposition, the environment affects people. Oranges grow in the south of Huai, and tangerines grow in the north of Huai, and it is not that easy to get out of mud without staining.
"Li Chen, if you have this ability, you can help Mengxi more in the future," Tang Wei sat next to Li Chen and whispered in his ear.
Li Chen nodded: "Yes, but my ability is limited, I can do less, and sometimes I have to rely on herself."
"Well," Tang Wei was silent for a moment: "The press industry is the same as the entertainment industry. The water inside is very deep. She insisted on going out and didn't listen if she said it."
Tang Wei once pursued Ye Mengxi, but was rejected by Ye Mengxi. Tang Wei did not continue to entangle, but he still cared about this girl.
"Tang Wei, in fact, this society is like the entertainment industry, and there are unspoken rules. However, the entertainment industry has more interests and more temptations. Faced with these unspoken rules, what we can do is actually very limited. We are to reject these unspoken rules where we have enough influence. When we cannot influence and change, we can only adapt and use unspoken rules on the premise of sticking to ourselves," Li Chenyu said to Tang Wei earnestly.
Tang Wei's personality is jealous of evil, and this personality is difficult to survive in today's society. Tang Wei graduated from the financial management department of Shencheng University of Finance and Economics. It is his personality that made him lose several jobs he got.
Tang Wei obviously couldn't accept Li Chen's point of view: "I can't do it if I let me join the crowd."
"It's not that you are in the same vein," Li Chen thought for a while, and felt it was difficult to convince Tang Wei: "It's like at noon today, Lu You was going to arrest us indiscriminately. Later, Secretary Song and Director Tao also arrested people directly. Speaking of which, they were also partial to us, because Secretary Song is familiar with me. Do you think that Secretary Song is illegal to do this?"
Tang Wei was stunned. He was not a law major, nor had he been influenced by the Western rule of law environment that particularly emphasizes procedural justice. He was already accustomed to the practice of human relationships in China, so he did not think that there was anything wrong with Song Xiongxin doing that.
Now when Li Chen talks, he feels that it is indeed a bit unruly, but he doesn’t think it’s illegal, because Liu Chengcheng and the others are indeed bastards.
Seeing Tang Wei showing a meditative expression, Li Chen continued: "If I didn't call Secretary Song to call him, but wanted to take the legal approach, the result would be that Liu Chengcheng would be beaten up in the bureau. It would be considered light for Ye Mengxi and the others to be even worse."
"I actually used the unspoken rules and used personal relationships. Secretary Song and Director Tao also gave us convenience in procedural convenience, but we did not do evil, right?" Li Chen said slowly. He could only talk to Tang Wei about this. As for whether he could figure it out and whether he could accept it, it was not something he could influence.
After thinking it through and accepting it, Tang Wei will mature. This is a period that he must go through in his growth process.
Seeing Tang Wei frowning and thinking, Li Chen did not disturb him. He looked up at the others, Liu Hanwen, Zhao Jianjie, and Zhao Xinzhe gathered together to drink. Chen Lin pulled Liu Qinqin, Yu Feifei was singing, and Ye Mengxi sat aside, holding a can of beer in his hand and was drinking.
Li Chen also got up and took a can of beer from the bar, went to Ye Mengxi, stretched the can of beer over, and gently touched it: "Is still thinking about what happened at noon?"
"I was wondering if I should stay away from the press, away from the officialdom, and away from the entertainment industry," Ye Mengxi said softly, looking very powerless.
Li Chen took a sip of beer: "This depends on your own choice. Others cannot decide for you, and they cannot even give you reference opinions. If I were asked to be honest, a beautiful girl must stick to her bottom line. No matter what she does, it will be very difficult. To put it bluntly, who made you look so beautiful that men can't control themselves?"
Li Chen said with a smile. He actually didn't want to see Ye Mengxi give up his dream. Giving up his dream alone means that her life has lost its value.
Ye Mengxi is very strong. If she is asked to give up her dream, she will definitely not be happy in the future. If she chooses a dream, it may be because she has chosen a more difficult road, but at least it will be fulfilling, not feeling empty, nor will it regret giving up her dream easily.
Ye Mengxi suddenly raised her neck, drank a beer, and finally wiped her mouth very unlady and said to Li Chen: "Thank you."
Although Li Chen said nothing, she understood one thing, that is, no matter what she did, she would encounter difficulties. Some things could not be avoided unless she did nothing.
Ye Mengxi knew that it was impossible for her. She could not bear to do nothing and became a decoration, vase, or even a man's plaything.
"No need to thank you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely not refuse if you can help." Li Chen didn't say anything. Everyone's path is chosen by themselves, and they must be responsible for their choices. Since Ye Mengxi chose that path, he had to put in more effort and even give up something.
After talking to Ye Mengxi, Li Chen came to Liu Hanwen and others again. Among the things that happened earlier, Liu Hanwen, Zhao Jianjie and Zhao Xinzhe's performance made him not very satisfied. They did not betray their companions like Luo Han, but they did not stand up and stand up for their companions. At the critical moment, they became "ostrich".
Li Chen did not blame them. This was human nature and a shortcoming in their character. At least when Lu You took the crowd and was about to arrest them and was very likely to be arrested, they did not rebel.
This is already very rare.
