"When will you find a wife?"
Dududu.
The deafening sound of decoration covered the woman's somewhat muffled voice.
The young man asked, "What?"
"I asked you when will you find a wife?"
The woman amplified her voice.
Dududu.
The roar of electric drills is endless.
Mixed in there is the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong percussion.
"Stop hitting my load-bearing wall!"
shouted the young man.
"It's okay sir, we know what's going on!" the worker uncle said.
“When are you going to find a wife!??”
The woman couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly.
Dududu.
The young man enthusiastically drilled an air-conditioning hole into the wall with an electric drill, turning a deaf ear to the woman's words.
Pay attention. The man holding the electric drill is called Song Wenbin. He is 26 years old and lives in Dongfang Yicheng Community, Fanhu District, S City. Of course, this is his future new home, and it has not yet been renovated.
Dududu...squeak...
Suddenly, the high-spirited electric drill went silent.
The machine in the hands of the master who was knocking on the ground also stopped.
There was an eerie silence in the dusty rough room.
"Dad, why are you unplugging me?"
Song Wenbin asked with a frown as he looked at the middle-aged and elderly man who had unplugged the electric drill.
"Your mother's voice is boiling with smoke," Song's father said.
"What did my mother yell?" Song Wenbin asked knowingly.
"Your mother asked you when you would find a wife."
Father Song said: "Now that you are more capable and have bought a house and a car, when will you marry a wife?"
After filming the first season of Extraordinary Journey, Song Wenbin successfully obtained 530,000 in cash. In addition to his annual salary of 150,000 and the 750,000 earned from selling cars, he successfully paid a salary in the city where he works. Down payment, loan to buy a house of your own.
The house is not big, only about 90 square meters, and the location is not very good. It is still some distance from the city center. But it is more than enough as a nest for a single young man. Moreover, City S has a developed subway, and this room is very close to the subway station. Song Wenbin is very satisfied with this small house that he bought through hard work. Although it has nothing to do with luxury, it is proof of his hard work.
Of course, if there is anything wrong with the small house he just bought, it is that it does not have floor heating. Song Wenbin was naturally afraid of the cold, and he was in the south where there was no heating, so he asked his master to knock on the ground and install floor heating on the ground.
When Song's father and Song's mother saw their only son buying a house, they also helped give more than 300,000 yuan to Song Wenbin for the decoration of his new home. However, during the decoration, the two elders often drove to Song Wenbin's new home to check it out.
Song Wenbin naturally didn't mind his parents coming to help, but every time he went there, he couldn't help but talk about getting married and having a wife. In fact, ever since Song Wenbin decided to buy a house in City S, his mother Li Yue has been excitedly asking him about the time when he will marry his wife, just like a young man who spent a lot of money to buy a new mobile phone and checks the progress of the express delivery every three days. Same.
But Song Wenbin did not buy a house for the purpose of getting married. This was not a preparatory task for him to get married and find a wife. He bought a house just for freedom. Otherwise, he would not leave City H, where his family is, to buy a house in City S.
Facing his father's inquiry, Song Wenbin rode on the ladder and played with the electric drill without saying a word, half-smiling.
Seeing Song Wenbin like this, Song's father was furious, but he no longer had the confidence to get angry. Now Song Wenbin only spent one year making money to buy a house and a car in a city with extremely high housing prices like S City. They were not even asked for renovation money. Faced with such a son, he had to give him the freedom that matched his abilities.
】
In desperation, he sighed and said: "Bin, tell me, why are you so hard on yourself? When you marry a wife, you can enjoy it for yourself. With your current conditions, what kind of girl can't you find? .”
"Dilraba." Song Wenbin said.
Father Song's tone paused and he said, "Can you be more serious?"
"I'm serious." Song Wenbin said perfunctorily.
"Okay, you buy a house this year and marry that Reba next year." Song's mother said arrogantly: "By the way, how old is she? She seems to be older than you."
Song Wenbin rolled his eyes, wondering if it would be his turn if she was already pregnant? Besides, he was just joking, but luckily these two took it seriously.
He didn't want to talk to his mother, who didn't care about domestic entertainment, and was about to continue drilling. At this time, the phone vibrated. Song Wenbin picked up the phone and answered the call.
A woman's cold voice came from the phone: "The company will have a meeting soon, please come over."
Song Wenbin recognized the owner of the voice. Although there was no note on the number, he had met the owner of the voice once in Amsterdam. It was Jiang Lu, the producer of the show.
"Okay, I'll come right away."
Song Wenbin put his cell phone in his pocket.
"Where are you going?" Song Wenbin's mother asked quickly.
"The company has something going on." Song Wenbin said simply.
For several months, except for decoration, Song Wenbin never talked to his parents about the work he was doing, or even mentioned anything related to his extraordinary journey. In fact, after Song Wenbin returned home a few months ago, he only slept for a few days and nights, and then woke up and started looking around for a new home.
More than twenty years of life have taught him the value of freedom and personal independence. He no longer expects to reach mutual understanding with anyone, including his parents. The only thing he wants to do is to live his own life.
So to this day, Song Wenbin's parents only know that their son works at Seal Company and is well paid. After all, Song Wenbin used to be an anchor, and Seal is a well-known domestic infotainment company, so it can be considered a professional counterpart.
As for what they were doing, they didn't ask much. Asking was in vain. Since this son bought his own house, he has been completely immersed in decorating the new house every day, buying floor tiles, making furniture, painting walls... he has no idea of communicating with others.
After a few simple words with the washing and decoration master, Song Wenbin took the elevator to the downstairs of the community. The area of the community is not large, and the floors are not high. The highest is only eight floors. Because the top floor comes with a balcony, Song Wenbin Buying a top floor can barely make up for the small size of the house.
When he came to the car, Song Wenbin opened the door and got in. Song Wenbin's car now was a gray Sagitar with a manual transmission.
His previous lime green Aston Martin has been sold to Mr. Li of Xingyao Entertainment for 1.75 million. If not, he wouldn't be qualified to buy a house with a down payment in City S, where land is at a premium.
Of course, after giving the difference of 1 million to Ma Qiang, he without any courtesy drove it away from Ma Qiang's store for free. Now this second-hand Sagitar is the most popular car in his store and the one next to it. The owner of a second-hand car store lost to Ma Qiang in a poker game.
The reason for choosing it is also very simple, because its fuel consumption is low enough, only 1.6l. Song Wenbin didn't pay the full price for the house he bought. The house prices in City S have always been high. Even in Song Wenbin's not-so-good neighborhood, the price was more than 30,000 yuan per square meter. His monthly loan repayments were also very high. Song Wenbin has to pay back 5,000 every month, and it will be paid back in thirty years. He didn't want to drive a gas tanker at this time and increase the burden on himself for nothing. He only needed a car to travel around.
Sitting in the small Sagitar, Song Wenbin was in a good mood, humming a little song and drove towards Dongshan District where the seals were.
When Song Wenbin walked along the street to the vicinity of Seal Building, he saw many people standing downstairs of the building, holding signs, looking indignant, and shouting something.
Most of these people are not Chinese. Some of them look European, some have small eyes and look like East Asians, some have dark skin and short stature and are South Asians, and there are a few Africans.
Of course, what is even more obvious is that the signs they hold are written in both languages, with the language of their respective countries written on the top and bright red characters on the bottom.
"Banning the Extraordinary Journey is prohibited!"
"Extraordinary Journey is off the shelves!
"
"Give us the cultural relics!
"
There were hundreds of people cheering each other, holding loudspeakers in front of Seal's building and shouting one after another with astonishing momentum. A group of security guards stood in front of the Seal Building, locking the door tightly and looking alert.
Song Wenbin was shocked, he didn't know what was going on. Fortunately, his old Sagitar didn't attract any attention. He silently picked up a hat from the passenger seat and put it on. He turned the steering wheel, swiped his card from the entrance of the underground garage, and parked the car underground under the building.
Then he lowered his head and hurried from the elevator in the underground garage to the office area belonging to their program team on the middle floor of the Seal Building.
In the past few months, there has been no sound of follow-up filming of the show. Song Wenbin has not gone abroad, but as an employee, he occasionally comes to the office to check in. According to the company's rules and regulations, he must clock in to get perfect attendance. But according to the law, he should still be serving his sentence in a prison somewhere in the country. So the company didn't make things difficult for him, it just asked him to show as little publicity as possible, so he rarely came to his office and was always busy with his own affairs outside.
But this time when he came to the office, this usually empty floor was overcrowded. Not only were there people from their film crew, but many people he had never seen before gathered on this floor, talking with worried expressions.
Seeing Song Wenbin coming over, the crowd stretched out a hand, grabbed him and shouted: "Yan, you are finally here."
It turned out to be Weining, who looked a little nervous. Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at Song Wenbin. Song Wenbin thought of the menacing demonstrators downstairs, frowned and asked, "Did something happen on the show?"
"Did you just know? The Internet has been a hot topic recently."
Wei Ning said in surprise: "Hurry up and get there, everyone from the planning team is waiting for you in the conference room."
He pushed Song Wenbin into the conference room. There were already many people sitting in the conference room. They were sitting in an informal manner, sitting and standing in various directions, but the expressions on their faces were not relaxed.
The person sitting at the head of the conference room was Jiang Lu. Seeing Song Wenbin coming over, she asked, "Have you seen what's going on outside?"
Song Wenbin nodded.
Wei Ning pulled out a chair for him opposite Jiang Lu. As soon as he sat down, two people rushed in from outside the door.
"What's going on!?" The visitor said in a bluffing voice, "Why are there so many people outside?"
The person speaking was none other than Huo Yu. She had recently dyed her hair yellow, and she was wearing a Japanese wide shirt and a silver necklace. She looked a bit trendy, and the one she was pulling was Sutina.
Song Wenbin hasn't seen Su Tina and Huo Yu for a while. The last time he went to Longchang to pick up a car was three months ago in the spring. To be honest, he quite enjoyed the time when he couldn't see his two colleagues. After all, they had been together for a whole year, and no matter how good-looking they were, they were tired of them.
But after not seeing them for such a long time, he could understand Huo Yu's yellow hair. After all, she was not a normal person. But Su Tina's hair was messy, she was wearing a purple skirt and she was yawning all the time. There were dark circles around her eyes. Song Wenbin couldn't understand the appearance of a programmer who worked overtime all night. Could it be that she was tortured by her graduation project?
"Ah, Brother Song..."
Sutina saw Song Wenbin at a glance, and she immediately became energetic. She drank Red Bull and drank away her fatigue. She excitedly pulled up a chair next to him and sat down.
She hadn't seen him for several months, but every time she chatted with this colleague on WeChat, he was very friendly, with a hint of alienation in his friendliness. He was also unsophisticated and extremely tactful, which made Sutina very sad. This resulted in her being able to only reminisce about the sincere moments during her travels from the programs that had been filmed and aired.
However... the recent negative comments on the show that she is proud of have made her extremely angry.
Huo Yu also saw Song Wenbin, but he just glanced over and didn't want to look more.
"Brother Song, have you watched the show?" Sutina asked impatiently.
"Not yet." Song Wenbin said with a smile: "Why are your eyes dark? Are you too tired?"
"I....."
Before Su Tina could say anything, Huo Yu walked over from behind Song Wenbin arrogantly, causing his chair to shake. Song Wenbin was speechless. The conference room was so wide that it would be fine for three people to walk side by side. Why did she have to bump into her like this?
"What's up, Jiang Lu?" Huo Yu walked up to the chief planner Jiang Lu and asked, "Who are those people outside?"
Jiang Lu said nothing and clicked on the projection.
The projector in the conference room lit up, and Song Wenbin could see two video websites appearing on the screen, one was Seal Video developed by Seal himself, and the other was Dili Didi in cooperation with Seal.
The program "Extraordinary Journey" was first released on these two websites. Song Wenbin knew it, but during this period he had been busy looking at house decorations and did not pay too much attention to the broadcast of the program.
Ten years of live broadcasting has given him a deep understanding of the Internet. He knows that not one of the ten positive reviews is annoying. He also knows that people will definitely criticize this kind of program when it is broadcast, so he simply stops watching it.
Secondly, and more importantly, the agreement between him and Seal did not include any sharing regulations. He himself did not receive any benefits from the broadcast of the program. He only worked for a salary, so the number of broadcasts of the program had nothing to do with him. He doesn’t care what happens when the show airs.
So, when he saw Jiang Lu open the program broadcast interface, he was happy.
I saw the opening song accompanying the extraordinary journey appearing, and the barrage was densely floating over - "Warning, you will waste precious hours of your life."
