Darkness is Coming

Chapter 299: Family Banquet (Part 1)

   How could the chairman's phone not be answered, Zhou Tianming immediately picked up the microphone, and before he could say "chairman", a sentence came from the other end of the phone.

   "I knew you were still in the office, so give me a rest immediately. I said, all members of the Yuanjiao Society are on vacation today, why don't you obey the order? Are you not a member of the Yuanjiao Society?"

The tone of    sounded very serious, but Zhou Tianming felt warm in his heart. The president still cared about him. He was not purely regarded as a substitute, a puppet, and a tool as some ulterior motives said.

"President, I have a lot of responsibilities and a lot of work, so I don't dare to stop." Zhou Tianming sighed, resting can't solve the problem, taking a day off today will only pile up those unresolved things until tomorrow, and in the process of accumulation, All kinds of unexpected emergencies may occur, making the fermentation and brewing of the originally simple things more complicated.

"Stop talking nonsense and listen to me. The car I sent to pick you up will arrive immediately, and I will come to Nandu with the car, and have a meal at my house. After the meal, we will talk about work. The leaders of the meeting have not met together for a long time. ."

   After saying that, the phone hangs up.

   Yang Xiaoqian's tone was very domineering, and he didn't mean to consider Zhou Tianming's personal thoughts at all, but Zhou Tianming felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind when he heard it.

   "I finally know why the overbearing president is popular." Zhou Tianming put down the microphone gently and made a joke to himself in a low voice.

   "President Zhou, what did you say?" the assistant asked.

   "It's nothing." Zhou Tianming stood up and smiled apologetically at his assistant, "I'm sorry, Assistant Lin, I should have a rest today, so I've delayed your rest time."

The    assistant was flattered and panicked: "No, no, I don't have a place to go anyway, it doesn't matter."

   "Let's rest. This is the order of the president. All members have a day off. We can't resist the order." Zhou Tianming waved his hand and asked his assistant to go back to rest, and washed his face with a basin of hot water.

   After a while, an extended and modified car with a photo of Jiang A00000 was parked at the entrance of the office building of the Yuanjian Society. Zhou Tianming hurriedly changed his clothes and got into the car. He found that there were two other acquaintances in the car.

   "Vice President Wang, Captain He, you are also here." Zhou Tianming politely greeted the two sitting in the carriage.

He Yu fought in Yuanjiang for more than half a year, and all the fat on his face has been reduced. Now he still maintains a lean body. Wang Li next to him is much worse. This guy still eats when he is the richest man in Yuanjiang. Very light, because of high blood pressure and high blood lipids, but every day after leaving the Yuanjiang River, there are big fish and meat, delicacies from mountains and seas, and now I have gained ten pounds.

   "Xiao Zhou, long time no see." He Yu smiled and nodded.

  Wang Li laughed a hundred times brighter than He Yu, his fleshy old face smiled like a fat chrysanthemum, and said loudly: "President Zhou, work hard, pay attention to your body, your body is the capital of the revolution."

   After so many years in the shopping mall, Wang Li's mind has long been polished and smooth, and he can naturally guess that President Yang has greater ambitions, and it is impossible to always succumb to such a small position as the President of the Yuanjian Society. Then President Yang's intention to appoint Zhou Tianming as the acting president is very obvious. When President Yang moves to a bigger stage one day, Zhou Tianming will take over as the next president of Yuanjiao Association.

Wang Li knew how much he was capable. In the past, due to the situation, President Yang had to borrow his strength, so that he could become a person in the far river and save the meeting in the distance. Now the dome has disappeared, and the whole China is full of outstanding talents. There is no shortage of his power. So Wang Li knew that he might not be able to keep up with President Yang's footsteps in the future, so of course he had to find a new backer as soon as possible. The current President Zhou is very good and has a promising future.

   "It's not hard, it should be." Zhou Tianming waved his hand, politely rejected the cigarette that Wang Li handed over, and asked, "Are you two going to the president's house too?"

"Oh, no, we will go to Nandu with the car. The president wants to meet the leadership of the Yuanjiao Association. It should be an important matter." Wang Li said, and glanced at Zhou Tianming enviously. Not everyone can be like him. Those who also enjoy this honor, can go to the chairman's house to eat, this is a special treatment.

   "That's right." Zhou Tianming recalled the call just now, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Vice President Wang, Captain He, I haven't rested for a while, I'll take a nap first?"

   "Okay, go to sleep, we won't talk anymore." Wang Li said with a smile.

   "No, I just fall asleep listening to the song." Zhou Tianming picked up the car headset and put it on, adjusted the seat and lay down. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep, and there was a regular grunt in his throat.

  …………

  In a single-family villa in Shangchen Community of Southern Metropolis, Yang Xiaoqian sat on a soft and comfortable sofa, staring attentively at the TV screen.

  On the screen, the host of Jiangbei Satellite TV is conducting a popular talk show. This time, the special guest is a girl in a plain and elegant dress, with light makeup on her face and no traces.

   The host first faced the camera as usual, and briefly introduced the guests of this issue.

   "Hello, audience members, welcome to Jiangshang's discussion, I am the host Jiangshang. The guest of this issue is the goddess of the battlefield who became popular overnight on the Internet, Zhang Xinyi!"

  The lights were focused and applause sounded. Special guest Zhang Xinyi calmly greeted with a smile, waiting for the host to ask questions.

   After two rounds of regular warm-up question and answer process warmed up the atmosphere, the host began to specifically ask some questions that netizens paid the most attention to.

   "We all know that the reason you are called the goddess of the battlefield is because you have visited the battlefield of Yuanjiang and participated in the war of the people of Yuanjiang against zombies and mutants. Have you really been on the battlefield?"

   Zhang Xinyi replied with a smile: "Yes, more than once, sometimes it was a battlefield full of blood and fire, gunpowder smoke and corpses, but more often I was on another front, fighting the fears in people's hearts."

   "You mean to entertain the survivors by singing songs and rehearsing a stage play to adjust their mood, right?" the host asked.

Zhang Xinyi shook her head and replied: "I think the choice of the word "adjustment" is interesting, but it is not appropriate. The power of idols is great. We have proved this more than once in Yuanjiang. We shape idols in people's hearts and spread the word. The right idea makes people willing to stand up and fight instead of just retreating. This is very important. It is because of this that we finally overcome the disaster. It is because of this that our country can be phoenixed again and again. ,Rise from the ashes."

There was admiration in the host's eyes, not sure if it was real or fake, and then he asked: "Then may I ask, in your heart, what an idol who can spread positive energy, or in other words, what a qualified idol should look like? "

This question is quite acute, and many public figures have fallen overboard on similar issues. It is like the US federal gun control bill that has been arguing. It is a thorny issue with extremely serious polarization. One side is angry, and even arouses dissatisfaction on both sides at the same time.

Zhang Xinyi didn't answer the call, and took the topic lightly and replied: "I think the documentary film "Far Jiang, Far Jiang!" I am co-producing with Huayu Pictures can answer your question. I believe that in this film, Everyone can find their idols and heroes.”
