2622, Bai Xiaolan who takes the initiative to jump out of her comfort zone
Like most dinner parties, everyone will share their work experiences during the break.
At this moment, everyone knew that Bai Xiaolan seemed to be going abroad for further study.
Lu Weiwei suddenly felt reluctant and said: "Xiaolan, where are you going? Are you going to Europe? Isn't it possible that we can't keep you in the country?"
"That's not the case." Bai Xiaolan took a sip of the drink and said involuntarily:
"According to my career development, it is indeed good to stay in Jiangnan City, but I always feel a little inadequate in certain business aspects."
"Because I came to the TV Tower right after graduation, and it has been smooth sailing ever since."
"My leaders look up to me and my friends take care of me, so I haven't suffered much from the hardships of this society."
With a faint sigh, Bai Xiaolan added: "But you can't always stand still, right? Recently, I have been feeling that if you want to be a qualified producer, then you must be strong, but..."
After saying this, Bai Xiaolan seemed a little discouraged and sighed heavily. She didn't say anything and just drank the rest of the drink in one gulp.
When the photographer Wu Jun on the side saw everyone looking at Bai Xiaolan with surprised eyes, he quickly came to Bai Xiaolan's rescue and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's mainly Xiaolan. She's a bit ambitious, like being a producer."
"Before, with your help, the business was indeed going well."
"The response to the programs we produced was actually pretty good. However, several of the programs we produced later were canceled, so Xiaolan felt a little guilty."
"Hey, what's the big deal?" After hearing what Bai Xiaolan said, Lu Weiwei also smiled and said:
"When I say Xiaolan, isn't it just that you have participated in a few programs? The current domestic gold medal producers, if nothing else, their status, resources, and all aspects of conditions are better than yours, Bai Xiaolan, right?"
"But every program that people should watch is indispensable."
"It's different." Hearing Lu Weiwei comforting herself, Bai Xiaolan also said with regret:
"Actually, I just have trouble with myself. I feel that I still have a long way to go before I can become a qualified producer."
"But now that I have good resources and conditions in Jiangnan City, I still can't do well in programs. Sometimes I really feel sorry for myself."
"I know that the problem is that my business ability is not strong. My previous success relied more on the help of friends and a little bit of luck."
"But you can't always rely on luck, right? So I signed up for a university in Europe. The related majors there are among the best in the world."
"I have also obtained the admission letter from that university. I want to study as soon as possible while I am still young, so that I can train myself and make up for my shortcomings."
"But if you leave, there will be less opportunities for us to have dinner together?" Lu Weiwei said a thousand words, and seemed not to want Bai Xiaolan to leave.
But Bai Xiaolan was determined and said slowly: "I have thought about it all and spent a few months internally, and finally made up my mind."
"I have to get out of my comfort zone and educate myself, otherwise I will be very sorry."
"But..." After hearing what Bai Xiaolan said, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but said:
"But Sister Xiaolan, can you really let go of your current status and these conditions?"
"You know, you are now one of the pillars of Jiangnan TV station. Are you so willing to give up?"
"When you leave, won't all your good resources become someone else's?"
"Haha, Xiao Yuan, you are thinking too much." Seeing that Yuan Shasha spoke so thoroughly, Bai Xiaolan simply explained to everyone:
"In TV stations, the most indispensable thing is excellent talents. We also rely on our youth, but in the future we have to rely on our strength."
"And the TV station recruits many interns every year, and they are all top students who graduated from prestigious schools."
"These outstanding interns can also have the resources I had at that time. People have to look forward, right?"
"Well……"
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaolan would choose to study abroad so resolutely, and Yuan Shasha didn't know what to say at this moment.
Gu Jun and Zhang Li on the side looked at each other and seemed to feel very abrupt.
Zhang Li asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaolan, you are so brave. If I could have your current status and achievements, I would just choose to lie down in the TV Tower."
"Haha, how can we just lie flat? Today's media competition has already become fierce, and we need to continue to innovate."
With a faint sigh, Bai Xiaolan added: "Although I can lie down, I can't be a real food, otherwise I will be eliminated."
"Look at how aware Sister Xiaolan is." Seeing Bai Xiaolan's eloquent words, Gu Jun couldn't help but pat Bai Xiaolan's rainbow fart.
But Bai Xiaolan waved her hand, feeling that she had said too much.
But Bai Xiaolan discovered that from beginning to end, Gu Chen had not expressed any opinions on her going to study in Europe.
But in fact, what Bai Xiaolan wanted to hear most was Gu Chen's opinion, but at this time, Gu Chen was silent, seeming to be thinking about something.
Bai Xiaolan thought to herself, is it possible that you, Gu Chen, are just like Lu Weiwei, a little reluctant to let go of yourself?
That’s why she started to hesitate, so Bai Xiaolan called Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen."
"Ah?" Gu Chen reacted from his deep contemplation, quickly raised his head to look at Bai Xiaolan, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
"Do you have anything to say?" Bai Xiaolan asked expectantly, as if she also wanted to hear Gu Chen's plea to stay.
Even though he would eventually go to Europe to study abroad, as a good friend, Gu Chen should at least try to retain him, right? It would be great if he could not encourage him.
But what Gu Chen said shocked everyone present:
"I was thinking that the motivational lecturer for the college entrance examination just now must have encountered a very difficult problem."
"Ever since he left the No. 7 Middle School campus, he has been busy making phone calls."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then I kept going in and out of the box, but my phone basically never left."
"After going to the bathroom, he poured some cold water on his face. It shows that he desperately needs to calm down now, otherwise he will not be able to vent his depressed emotions."
"Well……"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, everyone froze on the spot, as if a crow was flying overhead. The situation was extremely embarrassing.
When Gu Chen saw everyone looking at him with surprised expressions, Gu Chen was also stunned and asked hurriedly:
"What's wrong with you guys? Is there any problem?"
"No... no, brother, you didn't even listen to a word of what Sister Xiaolan said about studying abroad just now?" Gu Jun was extremely embarrassed at this moment.
He didn't know what the brother next to him, who was a master in solving crimes, was thinking about in his head every day? He couldn't help but ask one more question.
Gu Chen was also stunned, and quickly looked at Bai Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, you are going to study in Europe? Why would a good person think of studying in Europe?"
"Snapped!"
Everyone almost fell down from their seats. They all gathered around and chatted for a long time. Did Gu Chen not listen to a word?
Yuan Shasha also looked embarrassed and said: "Senior Brother Gu, did you really not listen to a word just now?"
"Oh." After hearing Yuan Shasha's words, Gu Chen sat upright and nodded silently:
"I was so fascinated by the college entrance examination lecturer Xu Tianxia that I just observed, so I kept analyzing it. It felt a little weird, so I paid attention to what you just talked about."
Turning to look at Bai Xiaolan, Gu Chen asked again: "What? Xiaolan, are you really going to study in Europe?"
"Uh..." At this moment, Bai Xiaolan was so embarrassed that she almost dug out the three bedrooms and two living rooms with her toes.
I feel like I have been sensationalizing for a long time just now, and everyone just hugged me and asked me to stay in Jiangnan City.
But Gu Chen didn't even listen to a word?
If it had been anyone else, Bai Xiaolan would have gone crazy a long time ago, but the person sitting in front of her was Gu Chen.
An elite police officer who focuses on solving crimes.
Bai Xiaolan was angry but couldn't express it. After all, who can still be sulky when facing Gu Chen's handsome face? Being angry is disrespectful to yourself?
"Alas!" Bai Xiaolan sighed heavily, feeling that Gu Chen was still the same Gu Chen, and had not changed at all over the years.
He also said helplessly: "Actually, I originally wanted to stay, but now it seems that I have to leave for Europe."
"What about the work here?" Gu Chen asked again.
"What else can we do?" Bai Xiaolan shrugged and pretended to be relaxed:
"Actually, this report about the guardian dog of Jiangnan No. 7 Middle School, or this documentary, was the last program I produced before leaving the Jiangnan TV Tower."
"When I'm done, I have to leave."
"Is that so? Then you have to do it well." After hearing what Bai Xiaolan said, Gu Chen quickly agreed.
Bai Xiaolan felt that her head was already full of black lines, but she felt that Gu Chen was quite interesting.
So he waved his hands and said, "No more talking. Anyway, I just want to study abroad and become a student."
"I am ready to endure hardships outside. I just hope that when I return from my studies, I can keep pace with the times and improve my professional skills in all aspects."
"I also want to learn more about foreign business. When I come back in the future, maybe I won't be so embarrassed. Maybe the programs I produce will reach new heights."
"Then I wish you all the best?" Seeing that Bai Xiaolan was talking about this, Gu Chen could only pick up the drink.
Everyone saw this and raised their cups one after another.
With the sound of collision, everyone wished Bai Xiaolan's further study.
When the group broke up, photographer Wu Jun drove Bai Xiaolan back, while Gu Jun and Zhang Li took a taxi back.
Gu Chen drove Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha together to prepare to return to the police dormitory of Furong Branch.
In the car, Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also turned to glance at Gu Chen who was driving and said:
"Junior Brother Gu, I feel like Xiaolan is not willing to leave."
"Then doesn't she want to improve her business level?" said Gu Chen, who was focusing on driving.
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that Xiaolan seems to want to hear our efforts to persuade her to stay. It's the kind of thing where I'm obviously going to leave and go to Europe."
"But as friends, it's best for us to say something to save her, so she will be very happy."
"That means that if I just said it too quickly and wished her a safe journey, she would be sad?" Gu Chen turned to look at Lu Weiwei, the co-pilot.
"Well, it's hard to comment. I don't know what to say."
"I just feel that when everyone dispersed just now, Xiaolan was quite sad. She kept hiding her reluctance and her eyes were all red."
"After all, we have known each other for several years. I watched you and Bai Xiaolan work together, and then we grew up with each other little by little."
"You have now become the deputy director of Furong Branch, and Xiaolan has also become a pillar of Jiangnan TV Station."
"It can be said that along the way, everyone has formed a deep friendship. Originally, everyone thought that they could live such a happy life forever."
"It's nice to be able to go out and have dinner together when I have nothing to do. But suddenly Xiaolan is about to leave this comfort zone and go to study abroad, and she feels empty in her heart. Do you understand this feeling?"
"Understood." Facing Lu Weiwei's explanation, Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but say:
"But people always have to pursue progress and cannot stand still. Just like Bai Xiaolan said, we were able to achieve success before because of the care of our friends and the help of leaders."
"But the competition in the media industry is so cruel. Many TV towers have been losing money for years and almost all rely on financial subsidies from above to survive."
"So if there is no excellent talent pool, staying in the TV Tower may not be a good thing."
With a sigh, Gu Chen added: "Since I met Bai Xiaolan, she has been a very good media person."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In Jiangnan City, she is considered the top of the pyramid, but if you look at the whole country, she can only be regarded as average."
"If you want to continue to break through yourself, you must take the initiative to jump out of your comfort zone, take the initiative to learn, and take the initiative to further yourself."
"I believe that when Bai Xiaolan comes back after completing her studies, she will still be at the top of the pyramid in Jiangnan City, and the Bai Xiaolan at that time will definitely be better than the Bai Xiaolan of today."
"Then in this case, why should I retain her and let her stay in the comfort zone of Jiangnan City? Why not encourage her to further her education?"
"Well……"
Lu Weiwei, who was still angry at Gu Chen for not listening carefully to Bai Xiaolan's words, suddenly felt that what Gu Chen said seemed to make sense.
For a moment, I was unable to refute.
Officer Wang, who was sitting in the back seat and yawning, couldn't help but joke after hearing the conversation between Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei:
"Everyone sees Bai Xiaolan's excellence. To be honest, what you see is just the surface after all."
"Appearance?" After hearing what Officer Wang said, Yuan Shasha on the side also asked curiously:
"Senior Brother Wang, why do you say this is just an appearance?"
"Listen to me and finish my words slowly." Seeing that Yuan Shasha was impatient, Officer Wang simply explained:
"Actually, the main reason is because the efficiency of Jiangnan TV station is not good, and Bai Xiaolan doesn't see any room for improvement there."
"But for someone like her whose career is on the rise, she needs to take the initiative to seek changes. She needs to take the initiative to improve her strength in all aspects while she is young."
With a pat on the thigh, Officer Wang added: "So, Bai Xiaolan is a talent, and a top talent."
