Age of Legends

Chapter 187 Just now

I saw Zhang Chen hurried away.

Qian Junyi laughed and said, "This kid is very patient. We just looked around for a long time, but he didn't even take a bite of such a beautiful girl! Could it be that they just met and are not familiar with each other?"

Bu Ruijie rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think they are all like you? This is in public, it's corrupting the atmosphere!"

Huang Rui said, "It's just that Zhang Chen doesn't seem to like this very much..."

They looked at Zhao Tao.

Zhao Tao looked at Zhang Chen and the girl who were eager to escape and said, "You don't understand... This is called modesty!"

……

After coming out of the restaurant, the atmosphere became a little silent. It was obvious that Jiang Rong was still in shock from what happened just now and hadn't come back to her senses yet. Now a lot of things were running through her head, and she was just confused and full of random thoughts.

Zhang Chen was not surprised to see her dazed look. Although there were many gangsters in this era, they were generally far away from ordinary people. Jiang Rong was also a normal college student who had just started working not long ago. She had never seen such a scene.

She was probably confused by Zhang Chen. In her eyes, Zhang Chen was Wang Bowen's godson, a top student, and more like a scholar. But now he had connections with these social figures, and it seemed that they were closely involved.

So for a moment, Jiang Rong felt a little unwell.

Zhang Chen also wanted to see what her current situation was, thinking that maybe she was scared. After all, she was a pure girl, and she ended up being involved with a social high school student. Her head might be twisted from any angle.

But if they walked further, Zhang Chen estimated that he would have to send her to the bus.

The two people were heading in different directions. He went back to school, and she had to go to the recording site. The concept of 996 became a hot topic in later generations, but at that time, if you wanted to talk about TV station media production, you would have done it a long time ago, and you would often stay up late to finish the work.

There is no other way. First of all, although the provincial TV station is a large platform, it actually has many departmental problems. The coordination and cooperation of all parties are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, there are not many scripts for programs like this. Many on-site situations need to be polished and recorded repeatedly. As a result, it is often delayed very late. In the final analysis, there is no standardization and many things are very confusing. Zhang Chen thought about polishing the team in the future. Since others can't control it, at least the efficiency of his own team must be improved and a set of processes must be established.

Jiang Rong is also working on her first construction project today. She took some time out in the afternoon to have dinner with Zhang Chen, which might be her most leisurely moment.

I have to record a show tonight.

Zhang Chen saw that she was pursing her lips tightly, which turned a little pale, so he asked, "Do you know who that man was just now?"

Zhang Chen's words didn't seem to have much direction, but Jiang Rong didn't need him to explain, and she knew that he was talking about the young man with a flat head, who was tall and strong, and the thugs seemed to be very afraid of him.

Jiang Rong shook her head.

"His name is Zhao Tao."

Jiang Rong was a little confused, she didn't know who Zhao Tao was. Zhang Chen thought, after all, she was a pure girl, how could she be exposed to these gossips in society.

He said, "A big brother in society. He is probably one of the most famous big brothers in Rongcheng now."

"Oh." Jiang Rong asked again, "Then, how do you know Zhao Tao and the others..."

"Who do you think Mr. Wang is? How did he get his social status? Some things cannot be brought to the surface, so we need Zhao Tao and others to help solve them... For example, debts owed... Someone has to step forward. Who will do it when I'm in school?" Zhang Chen glanced at Jiang Rong, "Have you just realized that we are this kind of people... If you're scared, you still have time to quit..."

Jiang Rong walked silently and suddenly stopped talking.

Zhang Chen wondered if he had scared her.

Oh, I am guilty. I shouldn't have scared such an innocent girl. I was just about to explain.

Jiang Rong turned her head again and said, "Do you know that I have been the leader among the kids in our area since I was a child? They all called me the Big Sister!" She looked as if she had found some anecdotes that linked her to society.

"I'm very fierce!"

"How fierce is it?"

"Once, I hit a fat guy who was collecting protection fees at the entrance of the junior high school with a porcelain basin from a roadside stall. He begged for mercy. After that, the hooligans outside the school avoided me. I am very powerful." Jiang Rong raised her chin, her features sharp and charming. "And I am in our Communication University... Others also say that I have a strong personality!" Zhang Chen thought to himself, what kind of desire to win is this? Could it be that you want to compete with Zhao Tao?
Zhang Chen said, "Big sister, teach me, if it was the situation just now, Zhao Tao and the others were not here, and I had a conflict with those hooligans, what should I do?"

Jiang Rong still had her phone in her pocket. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she called the police, would he look down on her? So she said, "Then I'll pick up another brick and hit them on the head from behind!"

"So..." Jiang Rong raised her head and said, "I'm not afraid."

Zhang Chen saw her face turning red and white, clearly she was going through a fierce ideological conflict. At this moment, the words "I'm not afraid" seemed more like she was trying to convince herself that if she got on a pirate ship, she would just close her eyes and go down the path of a bachelor till the end.

Zhang Chen looked at her for a long while. Jiang Rong sniffed and said with a strong voice, "What, what's wrong? I'm serious!"

Zhang Chen decided to stop teasing her and said with a smile, "Do you really think what I just said is true? Zhao Tao is our thug? Responsible for debt collection?"

"Ah... isn't it...?" Jiang Rong was stunned.

Zhang Chen looked at her oval face with classic porcelain-like cheeks but clear and stupid eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "What do you think? Zhao Tao is Wang Shuowei's cousin. Although he is famous and famous for fighting, he has always been trying to take the right path, because the crooked ways will sooner or later be beaten by the iron fist of society.

They run game halls and internet cafes, and they are all doing this. Recently, they asked me for help and gave me an idea to let them do logistics and express delivery. In this way, his brothers don’t have to sit around and think about fighting every day. Everyone can make money, settle down, and have a serious career. "

“So they have a good relationship with me and are quite respectful to me.”

"Ah?" Jiang Rong seemed to have just come back to her senses from the imagined scenario that she might be involved in underworld gangs or something like that.

Zhang Chen imitated her and also said "Ah?"

Jiang Rong laughed, clenched her fist, and punched Zhang Chen on the shoulder. Thinking of her previous behavior, she was already laughing in anger, "Then you lied to me and thought I was a little girl from your school!"

But the joy and relief that came from within were natural.

Maybe he felt relieved when he found out that Zhang Chen had not been involved in these gray or even black areas that he shouldn't have been involved in.

Zhang Chen tilted his head and looked at her. "You don't have any doubts about being able to recruit these people to work in logistics and express delivery? Compared to dragging them to collect debts, the idea of letting a group of gangsters return to the right path is more unreliable, right? Aren't you worried that I'm really lying to you?"

Jiang Rong thought for a moment, and seemed to be considering this possibility. Then she looked at him and said seriously, "If it were anyone else, I would definitely think he was bragging! But for you...it doesn't seem impossible. I think this is something you can do."

Isn't that right? When Wang Bowen said he was a top student and praised him, she was originally proud. She is also a major student, so who can be defeated?
With such a good godfather, what can you do without him praising you? The success rate is much higher, so she is three parts envious, three parts jealous, and four parts proud.

As a result, from planning the Future Star program, the Emotional Vortex program, the Digital Culture Festival curator, to now working at the provincial TV station, these experiences made her feel that when she listened to Zhang Chen, she did not think it was absurd that those people in society would listen to him.

Just like herself, isn't she also facing a real problem now, and is looking for Zhang Chen for advice? His brain seems to have a lot of experience and flexibility, and he can always come up with some solutions, which makes her feel that smart boys are also very handsome.

"Besides," she said again, leaning sideways, wearing a long skirt, looking like a plain autumn dress, and whispering, "You can change the fate of so many people. At least you are doing such a thing, which is quite extraordinary... I envy you very much. I also want to be able to do it one day."

"Come on, where is the big sister just now?" Zhang Chen said.

Jiang Rong's face turned red again, and she said fiercely, "I'll beat you!"

The car is coming.

Zhang Chen waved at her.

Jiang Rong stood there until the last people waiting for the bus got on. She only jumped on the bus when the driver was about to close the door.

Through the car window I looked at the tall figure of a senior high school boy under the bright yellow street lights.

Her eyelashes fluttered gently in her bright eye sockets.

I felt lost and unsatisfied.
