Respawn Entertainment

A new week has begun. Chen Lin, dressed neatly in a suit, walks out of the room ready to go to work.

"Brother, you are so handsome today." Zhang Qian also came out of the room and praised Chen Lin.

"I look handsome every day." Being praised by a beautiful woman made Chen Lin feel proud, "Little junior sister, you are also very beautiful today. I don't know how many boys will be fascinated by you."

"I'm not coming, senior brother, you just like to make fun of me." The younger junior sister pouted and walked a few steps ahead of Chen Lin and walked out the door. Chen Lin laughed and followed suit.

After a week of training, Chen Lin officially went to work this week.

He was assigned to the equipment team, and his job was to do odd jobs, help lighting engineers and photographers, clean, deliver water, order food, and fight against machines.

The most tiring thing was resisting the machine. The resistance lasted for several hours, sometimes for a whole day. Chen Lin's shoulder was so compressed by the machine that it started to bleed within a few days.

Chen Lin gritted his teeth and persisted. Before his rebirth, he was unwilling to resist the machine. He was too tired and was transferred to the office to idle. After that, there was no more.

He was a little tired, but Chen Lin enjoyed it. He was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. The advantage was of course his vision was better than anyone else in this era. The shortcoming was his poor execution ability and his high vision and low hand.

If you ask him to make an advertising plan, he can do it in minutes, but if he is asked to execute the plan himself, he can't.

He still remembers that when he was working in Guangzhou Advertising Company, he once made a counter sales plan for a client. He tried it with full confidence. As a result, he stood on the counter and said nervously in front of the crowd.

Can't tell.

From then on, Chen Lin knew that he lacked basic training. He warned himself to start from the grassroots level and train his abilities in all aspects. No matter how good the plan is, it is useless if the execution ability is poor.

"Xiao Lin, come here." An old employee from the equipment team called him over.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?" Chen Lin put down what he was doing and ran over quickly, asking.

"Can you fix computers?"

"Yes, repairing a computer is easy!"

"Really? Don't brag, kid." Brother Wang was doubtful.

"How dare I lie to you." Chen Lin's affirmative tone convinced Brother Wang, and he praised: "Not bad, you are diligent and knowledgeable, so I know you are good."

It is now 1997, and computers have not yet become popular. Most people have never even seen a computer, let alone repair a computer. Repairing a computer these days is still a high-tech job.

It turned out that there was something wrong with Brother Bao's computer, and the repairman was not here at this moment. Brother Bao called the office to ask who could repair the computer.

After receiving the mission, Chen Lin ran over happily. As he ran, some sealed memories in his mind were unlocked.

Brother Bao, this familiar name appeared in his mind. Everyone on the stage called him Brother Bao, and he also liked everyone to call him that. He is a senior director of the TV station, with many years of experience in the industry, and is responsible for managing the program recording site.

All miscellaneous matters, including scene notes, stage management, directing, lighting, and photography, are all under his control. He is one of the generals under Director Yu.

Brother Bao is an approachable person, treats his colleagues well, and usually takes good care of his employees, so Chen Lin was very happy when he heard that he was repairing computers for Brother Bao. If he could get to know Brother Bao through this, he might be able to be transferred to work as a dramatist, that would be great.

.

No matter how good you are in the equipment team, if you are a technician, how can you compare with a stage manager? The stage manager is responsible for all the chores on a show, ranging from assisting the director in recording programs to cleaning, and you can learn a lot.

The advantage is that the drama manager can have access to people from all aspects of the TV station. Many senior directors and hosts started as drama managers.

"Brother Bao, hello, I'm Chen Lin from the equipment team. I heard that your computer is broken, so I came over to take a look at it for you." Chen Lin said while looking at Brother Bao.

Brother Bao, who is in his 40s, has a loyal face. It is rare to find someone as loyal as him in a vanity fair like TV station. Chen Lin sighed in his heart, "It would be great if I could become friends with this guy."

"Hello, Xiao Lin, please excuse me. I don't know what happened to my computer. It was fine yesterday, but now it keeps beeping when I turn it on." Brother Bao's words interrupted Chen Lin's thoughts.

Chen Lin squatted down and opened the case. He took a look and found that the problem was simple. The memory module was loose. He pulled it out, wiped it and reinstalled it. "Beep!" The machine started normally.

"It's fixed now." Brother Bao asked curiously.

"Haha, Brother Bao, the computer memory module is loose. Just plug it in tightly and it will be fine. Try it and see if there are any problems?" Chen Lin said with a smile.

Brother Bao clicked the mouse, opened the work document, and found no problems. "Computers are really amazing, but unfortunately they are too complicated. It took me a long time to learn how to type, and I don't understand many things." Brother Bao sighed.

Chen Lin's heart moved, and the opportunity came. Chen Lin said directly without beating around the bush, "Brother Bao, if you want to learn, I can teach you. I guarantee that you will be proficient in using the computer soon."

"You are willing to teach me? That would be great." Brother Bao said happily, and then asked: "Then how much tuition should I give you?"

"What kind of tuition do you want? Brother Bao, you are just asking for help. We are all colleagues learning from each other. I don't charge tuition." Chen Lin said with a smile.

"That's not good, how can I have the nerve to let you teach me for nothing?" Brother Bao hesitated.

Learning computers these days requires a lot of money, thousands of dollars is indispensable, unlike more than 10 years later when you can just watch and follow video tutorials and learn by yourself.

"I said I won't charge tuition, so how about it, Brother Bao, if you feel sorry for me and don't invite me to have a meal, do you think that's okay?" Chen Lin said with a smile.

"Haha, of course I agree if such a good thing comes. Come to my house for dinner on the weekend. Your sister-in-law's cooking skills are top-notch." Brother Bao happily agreed. He now looks very pleased with Chen Lin.

In fact, Brother Bao understood that Chen Lin was showing his goodwill, and he was willing to get to know the young man, so the two of them immediately felt much closer.

"Then I have to repay my sister-in-law for her craftsmanship. It's settled. Brother Bao, I'll leave first without delaying your work." Chen Lin left happily.

Brother Bao watched Chen Lin disappear and smiled, "This young man is pretty good."

Chen Lin was very happy. He and Brother Bao got to know each other in this way. It was really smooth and unexpected.

Brother Bao has a good impression of him. Chen Lin is sure that he will become friends with Brother Bao because they have the same surname and are both straightforward people. They will easily find common topics. Based on Brother Bao's personality, he will only need to

I will find an opportunity to tell Brother Bao that I want to be a dramatist. I believe Brother Bao will definitely help.

After get off work, Chen Lin went home humming a song. The junior sister hadn't come back yet. It seemed she had to work overtime.

It’s normal for TV stations to work night shifts, but I have to eat instant noodles again at night. Hey, I really miss my junior sister’s noodles!!!

With Chen Lin's expectation, the weekend soon came. In the morning, Brother Bao came to him and asked him to go to his house for dinner after get off work.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Chen Lin arrived at Brother Bao's house with a bottle of home-brewed rice wine, and Brother Bao's family warmly received him.

"Xiao Lin, you came as soon as you came, what else did you bring?" Brother Bao laughed and cursed when he saw Chen Lin holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

"It's my first time coming here, so I'm sorry I didn't bring something with me." Chen Lin continued, "This is the rice wine I brewed at home. Our family drinks it all year round. I know you like drinking and I brought it to you to try."

"Brewed at home, it's a good wine." Brother Bao took the rice wine and looked at it, while Chen Lin talked about the process of making rice wine.

"For rice wine, you first need to soak the glutinous rice for a day and night, pick it up the next day and rinse it out, let it dry for more than ten minutes and then steam it in a steamer; then pour the glutinous rice into a medium jar, add an appropriate amount of water and medicinal wine, and then

Stir well with a wooden stick. Wrap a thick layer of straw around the rice jar and put a straw curtain on top to let the rice ferment inside. After 7 to 10 days, open the straw curtain and add some water to the rice jar.

In four or five days, the glutinous rice will turn into rice wine."

"Yes, yes." Brother Gao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "I accepted this bottle of wine. Come and sit here. Your sister-in-law has made a few dishes to try and see how the craftsmanship tastes?"

Chen Lin sat down at the table and was not polite. He took a bite of the food and tasted it. After eating, he nodded repeatedly, "Well, it's really delicious. My sister-in-law's cooking skills are comparable to those of a chef in a five-star hotel."

"Xiao Lin, if it's delicious, eat more." Brother Bao's lover burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Okay, sister-in-law, Brother Bao, you should also eat more, don't just watch me eat." Chen Lin greeted Brother Bao and poured wine for Brother Bao, "By the way, Brother Bao, isn't your child at home?"

"He didn't come back from school." Brother Bao said, mentioning his son, Brother Bao's lips showed a smile.

Next, Brother Bao and Chen Lin talked about their sons. Brother Bao's son is named Zhang Xiaofan. He is only one year older than Chen Lin and is a graduate student.

"Xiao Lin, if Xiao Fan is half as capable as you, I will be satisfied." Brother Bao sighed. Chen Lin is diligent, educated, and smart in the station. He is very optimistic about Chen Lin's future. This is also Brother Bao's invitation.

The main reason why Chen Lin went to his house for dinner.

Firstly, he was grateful to Chen Lin for teaching him computers, and secondly, because Chen Lin's personality appealed to him, he liked to get to know a promising young man like Chen Lin.

"Brother Xiao Fan is much better than me as a graduate student. After graduation, he may be able to go abroad to study for a doctorate, but I can't compare." Chen Lin said modestly.

"Haha, you don't need to belittle yourself. I have seen your abilities and your performance is not bad. You should continue to work hard at the TV station and learn more from your colleagues when you have time." Brother Bao said earnestly. He looked at Chen Lin as if he saw

his own son.

"Yes." Chen Lin nodded, feeling Brother Bao's concern, and immediately felt that it was a wise move to get to know Brother Bao.

The meal was very enjoyable. Chen Lin and Brother Bao had a great conversation. After eating, Chen Lin followed Brother Bao into his study and began to teach Brother Bao computer knowledge.
