"Yicheng, I took a big risk by promoting you to deputy director of the editorial department this time!
Although you have the highest academic qualifications and outstanding abilities in CCTV, after all, you are too young and have too little qualifications!"
"Director, thank you! I will not let you down!"
"Well! I have great confidence in you too!
In the future, when you get to the editing and editing department, try to be low-key and do things in a high-profile manner, and don't be as arrogant as before when you were in the program department!" The director, who was about to retire, had to tell Qiao Yicheng.
"What you need now is no longer merit, but years of accumulation and experience!"
"Director, don't worry! I understand what you mean!"
"Also, you are now a mid- to high-level leader of CCTV!
It’s not appropriate to ride that damn motorcycle of yours anymore!”
"Harley!"
"Yes! That's the name. It's hard to remember for foreigners!" The director was really disgusted with Harley motorcycles.
"I know! I'll change my car tomorrow!"
"You brat, I know you are rich! But why are you showing off!
I just asked you to keep a low profile! You can’t remember it again!”
"Eh? Then I take the bus to and from get off work?"
“That’s not necessary! Your employer will provide you with a car!
Just drive your work machine to and from work honestly!"
"And a car? That's a great feeling!"
Qiao Yicheng was really pleasantly surprised. The most popular sports car nowadays is not as good as the company's car, which is a symbol of status.
"10%, I will retire in the second half of the year!
From now on, you have to rely on your own efforts!"
"Director, don't worry! I will definitely stick to CCTV!"
"Well! Go out and do your own thing!"
"Director, goodbye!"
Watching Qiao Yicheng leave, the director became more and more satisfied. Originally, around 1983, he would have to take a back seat.
But it was because of Qiao Yicheng's outstanding ability that the director stayed in this position for another three years. How could he not be pleased and valued by the director?
Qiao Yicheng's career success still could not cover up his emotional failure. The fact that he had never dated a girlfriend gradually caused colleagues in the unit to talk secretly, and they all speculated that Qiao Yicheng must like men.
Of course, Qiao Yicheng also heard such secret rumors, but he was also helpless. After all, he couldn't explain this kind of thing to others, and he couldn't just find a woman to prove himself, so he could only passively let it go.
In the 1980s, it was not like having casual romances like later generations. You really had to pay your own responsibilities, and responsibility was what Qiao Yicheng was most worried about, so he simply stopped disturbing other people's lives.
"Xiao Li, have you heard? Our Section Chief Qiao has been promoted again!"
"Yes! He seems to be the deputy director of the editorial department!
The twenty-four-year-old deputy director is the only one in the country!"
"You don't think our Director Qiao really likes men, right?
Such a young and promising outstanding young man does not even have a girlfriend!
It’s really a waste of Director Qiao’s excellent genes!”
"This...who can know!
After all, he is only twenty-four years old this year!
Maybe you haven’t met the right one yet?”
...
In the second half of 1986, the station director really stepped down completely. When he arranged for Qiao Yi to become the deputy director of the editorial department, the station director really put some thought into it.
Although Qiao Yicheng is also the director, with the word "adverb" in front of it, it will not be too eye-catching. In addition, Qiao Yicheng has been keeping a low profile for many days, so the impact of the change of leadership will be the least on Qiao Yicheng.
.
With the gradual opening up of society, CCTV has gradually become the most popular unit, with a large number of graduates coming for internships and further studies every year.
"Wang Lei, are you ready with the statistics I gave you last time?"
"Director Qiao, it has been prepared for a long time! I am about to send it to you!"
"Well! Give it to me first!"
"Director Qiao, wait a moment!" Colleague Wang Lei quickly ran over to get the information.
At this time, Qiao Yicheng noticed many new faces standing nearby. Without asking, he knew that they were new interns. Taking the information handed over by Wang Lei, Qiao Yicheng asked with a smile, "Is there another new person in our department?"
"Yes! Director Qiao! These are the new interns!
Why don't you give a speech to these newcomers!"
"If you were so dedicated to your work, you would have been promoted long ago!"
"Hehe! I'm just so smart, but I can't compare to you, Director Qiao!"
"Okay! Go and do your work!"
Qiao Yicheng shook his head speechlessly and went back to his office. As his status improved, more and more compliments were received from around him, but Qiao Yicheng did not lose himself.
Achievements in public institutions are not comparable to those in the business world. Here you will see more shady methods, and you must learn to fight and compromise, and it is more about doing things according to their own means.
Qiao Yicheng is now a deputy director, so he can't pay too much attention to the interns. At most, he just asks casual questions.
"Team Leader Wang, who is this leader?" the interns couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This is the only doctorate at CCTV, the youngest deputy director, and the deputy director of the editing and editing department, Qiao Yicheng!"
"Wow...it turns out he is the famous Qiao Yicheng!
It turns out that he is really so young!"
"Yes! "Harry Potter" written by Director Qiao has been with me throughout my teenage years, and he has always been my idol!
I really didn’t expect to be able to work with my idol!”
...
Hearing the surprises and emotions of the interns, Wang Lei laughed loudly, "Okay! You newcomers, don't sigh here!
Director Qiao is the goal of all our CCTV employees.
Come on! Newcomers!"
In the corner of this group of new interns, three new interns, one man and two women, looked surprised when they heard Wang Lei's introduction.
"Song Qingyuan, it turns out that he is the legend of Nanda, Qiao Yicheng?"
"Well! Director Qiao is really young!
Liu Xiaomeng, you are not attracted to the young and promising Director Qiao, are you?"
"Song Qingyuan, go to hell!
Do you think I am a woman who has changed her mind after seeing strange things?"
"Hehe, it's hard to say!"
"you......"
"Okay! Song Qingyuan, Liu Xiaomeng, please stop bickering!
If Team Leader Wang finds out, everyone will be embarrassed!" Another girl who had been silent for a long time quickly stopped the quarrel between Song Qingyuan and Liu Xiaomeng.
Hearing the girl's stop, Song Qingyuan and Liu Xiaomeng stopped saying anything. If Qiao Yicheng saw this strange trio, his eyes would widen in shock.
Because the three of them are Song Qingyuan, Liu Xiaomeng and Ye Xiaolang who Qiao Yicheng has been avoiding, no need to ask, this must be deliberately arranged by the system.
Qiao Yicheng put down the materials in his hand and suddenly felt a little thirsty, but his water glass was out of water, so he got up and went to the tea room to pour water.
As soon as I walked into the tea room, I saw a familiar female colleague waiting there. When I saw Qiao Yicheng coming in, I quickly said politely, "Director Qiao, are you pouring water yourself? You go first!"
"Eh? It's okay! I'm not in a hurry! You should come first!"
"Thank you, Director Qiao! You are so kind!"
Seeing this, he was given a "good guy card". Qiao Yicheng was also surprised and looked at this female colleague carefully, but he didn't know it. He was shocked when he saw that this person in front of him could not appear on CCTV.
Ye Xiaolang.
Seeing Qiao Yicheng looking at him with wide eyes, Ye Xiaolang thought it was Qiao Yicheng who saw that he looked beautiful, so he felt a little surprised in his heart.
"Director Qiao, I am the new trainee reporter Ye Xiaolang!
I used to be an intern at Nanjing Daily!"
"Oh? Hello Ye Xiaolang! Welcome to join CCTV!"
When Qiao Yicheng heard Ye Xiaolang's self-introduction, he could no longer bear the system's frivolous operations. The system was so stupid. He was arranging trouble for himself!
After casually saying a few words to Ye Xiaolang, who was staring at his eyes, Qiao Yicheng quickly poured hot water and escaped from this strange tea room.
Thinking that this was all deliberately arranged by the system, Qiao Yicheng was really helpless. He finally sent Wen Ju'an away, which caused even greater trouble for himself.
Ye Xiaolang is indeed very beautiful, but she is too scheming and cannot be controlled by Qiao Yicheng. Faced with such a stunning beauty, Qiao Yicheng has no confidence that he can refuse, so he has been trying to avoid Nanjing. Most of the reasons
All for this Ye Xiaolang.
Qiao Yicheng's feeling towards Ye Xiaolang is very strange. He is not as indifferent as when he faced Wen Ju'an. He feels that Ye Xiaolang is his nemesis. He can hold his seven inches. She may be the most scheming among his three women.
reasons.
In the days that followed, Qiao Yicheng met his good gay friend Song Qingyuan, and Song Qingyuan's ambiguous "girlfriend" Liu Xiaomeng, which gave Qiao Yicheng a new understanding of the integrity of the system.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qiao Yicheng tried his best to avoid Ye Xiaolang and the others. Even though he was looking forward to his "good gay friend" Song Qingyuan, Qiao Yicheng had to stay away from them.
...
Sometimes things are very strange, the trees are always quiet but the wind is not stopping. Coupled with the unscrupulous and constant cheating system, it is difficult for Qiao Yicheng to continue to be free and easy.
After get off work, Qiao Yicheng drove his own car on his way home, and on the way he had to pick up Qiao Qiqi after school.
Thinking of his eleven-year-old brother Qiao Qiqi, Qiao Yicheng smiled unconsciously. Qiao Qiqi, who had been brought up by himself since childhood, got along most harmoniously with him.
Qiao Qiqi, who is already a young adult, has now begun to worry about the marriage of her eldest brother. If a beautiful single female teacher is found in the school, Qiao Qiqi will turn into a "little matchmaker" and lead Qiao Yicheng, causing trouble.
A lot of ridiculous jokes were made.
Qiao Yicheng, who was driving around a corner, spotted a bus stop in front of him, where a familiar figure was waiting.
Qiao Yicheng sighed helplessly. She was indeed the most scheming woman. It seemed that she had been asking about her affairs a lot during this period, and knew that she was waiting for him on the road that she must pass.
Qiao Yicheng realized that simply avoiding him would not solve the problem, so he parked the car next to Ye Xiaolang, who was pretending to meet by chance.
Seeing Qiao Yicheng's car slowly stopping, Ye Xiaolang restrained his inner ecstasy and pretended to be surprised and said, "Director Qiao, what a coincidence!
I can meet you here!"
"Haha, yes! What a coincidence!
Where are you going? Get in the car and I’ll take you there!”
"Thank you, Director Qiao!" Ye Xiaolang quickly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, as if he would regret it if he took a step too late.
Looking at the beautiful figure sitting in the passenger seat and breathing in the faint scent of Ye Xiaolang's perfume, Qiao Yicheng was really confused and fascinated.
Qiao Yicheng looked at Ye Xiaolang's light makeup with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but admire Ye Xiaolang's scheming and methods. He actually investigated the fact that he liked girls wearing light makeup.
"Where to go?"
"Eh? Dashilar!"
"Going shopping? Your best friend didn't come with you?"
"Well! I want to go buy some clothes!
Liu Xiaomeng and Song Qingyuan are out on a date, and I'm too lazy to be their "light bulb"!"
"Oh? Song Qingyuan and Liu Xiaomeng are boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Huh? Really! I don't know the details!" The scheming girl will overthink any question she hears. Ye Xiaolang thought Qiao Yicheng was interested in Liu Xiaomeng.
Next, Qiao Yicheng went directly to the elementary school to pick up Qiao Qiqi. Seeing that Ye Xiaolang didn't have any surprised expression, he guessed that she must have known his family information in advance.
"Brother, are you finally willing to date a girlfriend?"
"Don't talk nonsense! She is my new colleague, her name is Ye Xiaolang!"
"Oh...new colleague..." Qiao Qiqi said in a long and funny tone on purpose.
Qiao Yicheng ignored Qiao Qiqi's antics and just kept focusing on driving. Ye Xiaolang didn't say anything, but he lowered his head and deliberately made a shy expression.
"Sister Xiaolang, you are so beautiful! Much prettier than our female teachers!"
"Qiqi, thank you for your compliment!"
"Sister Xiaolang, let me tell you a secret secretly.
This is the first time my eldest brother has let a girl sit in his passenger seat!" Qiao Qiqi deliberately stood up and whispered mysteriously into Ye Xiaolang's ear.
Hearing Qiao Qiqi's explanation, Ye Xiaolang felt even happier, as if he had really become Qiao Yicheng's girlfriend.
Qiao Yicheng did not take Ye Xiaolang to Dashilan, but to a more upscale department store. When the car slowly stopped, Ye Xiaolang realized that this was a department store.
"Director Qiao, are you coming to the department store for business?"
"Aren't you going to buy clothes? The quality of clothes in department stores is better!"
"Huh? But the clothes here are more expensive, right?"
"It's okay! You can buy it with confidence! Even if I give it to you!"
"Ah?" Ye Xiaolang was really surprised.
After receiving Qiao Yicheng's promise, Ye Xiaolang happily started shopping in the department store. Perhaps to show off in front of Qiao Yicheng, he only bought two sets of professional attire to show that he was very satisfied.
Qiao Yicheng had seen through almost all of Ye Xiaolang's methods, but he was not prepared to expose them. After all, only good friends can see through but not tell.
"Director Qiao, thank you for helping me buy clothes today!
Shall I treat you and Qiqi to dinner?
How about we go eat "Beijing Roast Duck"?"
"Haha, forget it!
Your salary is not high either!
It’s better that I invite you!”
"this......"
Without giving Ye Xiaolang a chance to act, Qiao Yicheng drove her and Qiao Qiqi directly to the nearby "Fengze Garden".
Qiao Yicheng knew that Ye Xiaolang looked weak on the surface, but was actually very domineering and selfish in his heart. He would not let her lead him around. Whether he went to the department store or now to "Fengze Garden", it was Qiao Yicheng who tamed him.
One of her methods.
After entering the private room of "Fengzeyuan", Qiao Yicheng ordered a few signature dishes. After the waiter left, Qiao Yicheng looked at Ye Xiaolang with a smile.
"Ye Xiaolang, when you come to the capital, you can't just know "Beijing Roast Duck". The Shandong cuisine of "Fengzeyuan" is even more famous!"
"Oh! So that's it! Thank you, Director Qiao, for letting me gain knowledge!"
Qiao Yicheng had a delicious dinner in "Fengze Garden", then first sent Qiao Qiqi back to the courtyard, and finally drove Ye Xiaolang back to his dormitory.
"Director Qiao, you spent a lot of money today!"
"Haha! You're welcome! I heard that you have been applying to study abroad?"
"Ah? Yes...yes!" Ye Xiaolang's expression changed, because this was the biggest secret in her heart.
“Studying abroad is a good thing!
There is no need to hide anything!
But do you know what you need to prepare first to study abroad?"
"Learn English and take TOEFL?"
“It’s not just the TOEFL test, but also the money that’s more important!
Ye Xiaolang, are you really rich?"
"Ah?" Ye Xiaolang shook his head in surprise.
At this time, the car also arrived downstairs at the CCTV staff dormitory. Qiao Yicheng parked the car and looked at Ye Xiaolang in the passenger seat.
"Ye Xiaolang, I have a game here, would you like to play it?"
"Ah? What?"
"I can meet your needs and give you ten thousand dollars a year!
I just need you to meet my requirements!"
"Ah?" Ye Xiaolang's face turned pale, and she could tell that Qiao Yicheng just wanted to make a deal with her.
"This is a game, you can also think of it as a transaction!
I gave you the tuition fees you need to study abroad, and you also gave me the company I wanted!"
Qiao Yicheng's voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard. This result was something she had never expected.
Looking at the stunned Ye Xiaolang, Qiao Yicheng leaned against Ye Xiaolang's ear and whispered, "I'll give you three days to think about it!
After thinking about it, just wait for me at the bus stop today!"
Ye Xiaolang got out of the car in a daze and watched Qiao Yicheng drive away before she woke up from her confusion.
She did not have any good intentions when approaching Qiao Yicheng, but that was because she was the "hunter" and Qiao Yicheng was the "prey", but now suddenly, she herself became Qiao Yicheng's "prey"
, which made Ye Xiaolang difficult to accept for a while.
Ye Xiaolang knows that with ten thousand US dollars a year, she can solve all the problems she faces. After studying abroad, she almost no longer needs to worry about money.
Although she only needs to accompany Qiao Yichen for three years and can get a reward of thirty thousand US dollars, but Ye Xiaolang, who has always been very scheming, suddenly found it difficult to accept such a deal on the table.
What she prefers is to control everything and achieve her goals by seizing on other people's human weaknesses. In the end, the other party will thank her from the bottom of their hearts.
Now Qiao Yicheng's non-according to the routine completely disrupted Ye Xiaolang's plan, so the whole person was in a state of confusion.
