The next morning, as if a nightmare came true, Song Wenbin, Huo Yu, and Sutina, who were preparing for training early in the morning, received a summons from the leadership of the Space City. As soon as they arrived at the office, Song Wenbin saw the Korean team in charge of them and Guo Yu, the Beihang University team leader. The director was chatting and laughing together.
After entering, Director Guo waved to the three of them.
Song Wenbin brought two colleagues to the director with some anxiety.
"There is a lot of discussion about you on the Internet right now."
Director Guo said with a smile.
"This is something that can't be helped." Song Wenbin said: "Going into space is too big a thing, and no one can ignore it."
"This is indeed a big thing and a very dangerous thing. No matter what happens in space, astronauts must remain absolutely rational and calm. Do you think you can do it?" Leader Han He looked at Huo Yu worriedly and asked.
Song Wenbin rarely saw Team Leader Han show such a look towards Huo Yu. Before this, because of her strong physical fitness, Team Leader Han looked at her with expectations and admiration.
"If it's with my colleagues, I'm fine with that."
Huo Yu said honestly.
"Really, but I watched your previous show last night. Many times when the three of you are together, it's the most chaotic time." Leader Han said uncertainly.
Song Wenbin:......
Sutina:......
Huo Yu opened his lips, and then said angrily: "I thought you had seen our program, and my past records should all be in my file. I don't believe you haven't seen my file."
"this…"
The team leader hesitated to speak.
Director Guo was still smiling. He crossed his fingers and said, "We also noticed this when we were looking at your files. But we didn't expect that you would receive so much attention. To be honest, we were under great pressure on this commercial flight. There is great pressure and uncertainty going on. It is also China’s first commercial flight test, so accidents must not be allowed.”
"What does that mean?" Huo Yu asked.
"Have you ever thought about becoming a ground worker?"
Director Guo asked: "If you ask me, this test project does not require many people, whether it is two people or three people, there is not much difference. If there are two people, the cost is actually lower and the space is larger. , the more operations you can perform. Keeping one more person on the ground can also reduce a lot of risks."
Huo Yu was silent, but she didn't seem surprised by the result. After a long time, she suppressed her words: "Oh."
Song Wenbin's face quickly turned pale. Although Director Guo said it tactfully, the meaning he expressed was cruel. Sure enough, the rumors on the Internet inevitably had an impact on reality.
"Wait a minute, Director, is this... confirmed?"
Song Wenbin asked cautiously.
"This is the result of many careful considerations and many meetings. We have also watched your previous programs. With all due respect, going to space is different from any project or trip you have ever experienced before. It not only requires extreme Strong physical fitness requires an extremely tough and calm will. It is not an exaggeration to be able to face the collapse of Mount Tai without changing your expression. For your safety and the overall situation, we must be foolproof," said Director Guo. .
"But...but..."
Su Tina couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Although Huo Yu is reckless, she can still distinguish right from wrong. Besides, in previous trips, we often faced intractable opponents, and conflicts are inevitable. !”
"The environment in space is equally unpredictable."
Leader Han said.
"But..." Sutina wanted to say something else.
A hint of impatience flashed in Huo Yu's eyes. She waved her hand and said, "I understand. I will be on the ground for this mission. Just you and Song Wenbin can go up. I actually have no interest in space."
Sutina was speechless and at a loss for a moment. She could only look at Song Wenbin for help.
Song Wenbin thought for a moment and said: "Team Han, Director, although Huo Yu was reckless and impulsive in the past, she is not immutable. If she can withstand the test, this will also be a very important step for her change. opportunity, I still hope she can participate in this project with us."
"Song Wenbin, I can understand your thinking, but this is a big matter. After all, it is not another job, and there is no room for sloppiness." Director Guo said.
"I told you, it'll be fine if I'm on the ground!"
Huo Yu yelled unhappily.
Song Wenbin glared at Huo Yu and gave her a warning look. Huo Yu had no choice but to shut up, looking unhappy.
"Director, you said that China is very big, and the heart is also very big. In the past travels, although this guy has tricked us, he has also saved the entire team countless times with his decisiveness and judgment. She She is an indispensable part of this show. If she quits, then I'm sorry, I have no choice but to quit." Song Wenbin said regretfully.
Huo Yu, who was angry at the side, was stunned, and Su Tina was also stunned.
The team leader and director were equally surprised by Song Wenbin's words. They asked almost in unison: "Why."
Song Wenbin shook his head and said: "I am not qualified to go into space. I just received Musk's reply by accident, gained some popularity, and then met an inexplicably generous investor. But also That's all. If you have seen my file, you should know that I have not graduated from high school, and I can't understand anything the teachers at the base say. Compared to Huo Yu, I think I am more uncertain. factor."
After a pause, Song Wenbin pointed at Su Tina and said: "If according to your standards, the only one among us who is qualified to go to space is her. She is smart enough, has a good image, and has a clean foundation. If you want stability, let her It's enough for one person to go up, wouldn't it be safer?"
Although Song Wenbin said it tactfully, his attitude was unambiguous. He was serious.
Surprisingly, Team Leader Han and Director Guo seriously considered Song Wenbin's proposal and whispered to each other.
This shocked Sutina, and she quickly said: "Hey! Did you make a mistake? If you don't go up, what's the point of me going up!!"
Team leader Han and Director Guo stopped talking and looked at Su Tina confused.
Sutina stammered: "I...I still have some self-awareness. This pressure is too great. I can't bear it. You...you want me to go to space alone in a spaceship. I will probably be in the helmet." Spit it out."
"this…"
For a moment, the two leaders and three hosts were silent. They looked at each other, a little stunned,
"This kind of thing is not a joke." At the end, Director Guo stopped laughing and said seriously.
"There is no kidding. I understand that this matter is very serious and cannot be joked about." Sutina quickly said: "But the three of us are a team. If you remove any one of them, this will not be an extraordinary journey, and neither will the audience." Buy it!!”
Because she was nervous and unwilling to give up, Sutina spoke a little boldly and loudly.
Song Wenbin quickly stopped her and said sincerely: "Leader, no matter what you say, this is just an entertainment program after all. It is not pursuing any historical significance. If you want to pursue the ultimate safety factor, my suggestion... Let's let professional astronauts go up there. We were not born to be astronauts. No matter how we train, the three of us... we are just improvising and trying to catch up, and it is impossible to make it foolproof and risk-free. "
Su Tina also nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Yes, if it only carries some people and not others, it is not a commercial flight. Anyway, anyway, if Huo Yu doesn't go, I won't go either."
"This..." The relationship between the three people seemed to be beyond the expectations of the team leader and Director Guo. None of them expected this to happen.
There is no doubt that if none of the three people go up, this challenge will be meaningless, and commercial flights will be meaningless. The matter of testing new space food will become a castle in the air, and the other investors are even less likely to make further investments for this purpose. money.
Seeing the leader like this, Huo Yu grinned silently with joy.
Song Wenbin immediately glared at her fiercely, and she stopped laughing again, raised her eyebrows and hid her hands in silence.
After thinking for a while, Director Guo said slowly: "We will report your request to the superiors. But the specific arrangements should wait for notification."
"Hey, okay." Song Wenbin said respectfully.
After the brief conversation, the three of them left the office. As soon as they left the office, Huo Yu pointed at Song Wenbin and Su Tina and scolded them: "Why bother? It has to be like this. It will be over if you go up."
Song Wenbin glared at her angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that if you hadn't hit people at every turn, would we be like this? I'm really convinced. How old are you, and you were dismissed for fighting?"
Huo Yu was speechless, but she couldn't lose her place. She glared at Song Wenbin and said dissatisfiedly: "Just hit her, whatever you want. Besides, if they don't like us, they won't like us. If you can't shoot, you can't shoot, no. You can't go up, why are you so humble and humble, you don't even have any shame."
"Hey? You are really..."
Song Wenbin pointed at Huo Yu and accused him arrogantly: "Do you still remember that you have a Guozhiyue company? Do you still remember that you actually have more than a dozen employees? Don't you think about you? Don't you think about them? "
Huo Yu was speechless and could only roll his eyes, fold his arms, and make a stinky face.
Song Wenbin also had a bad look on his face.
Sutina on the side spread her hands with a question mark on her face.
…
Time passed slowly while waiting. In the following time, although the three of them were still training, they were somewhat absent-minded. The discussion about Huo Yu on the Internet is still lively, but the comments are becoming more and more polarized. People who like her love her very much, and those who hate her can be said to hate her very much. It is not an exaggeration to say that some black fans hate her to the core. Even Song Wenbin was very shocked after reading the comments.
Two days later, Team Leader Han and Director Guo found the three people again.
This time, their attitude was a little more relaxed.
"Team leader, what do you say?" Song Wenbin asked.
"I have conveyed your message. The superiors appreciate your unity. The commander-in-chief said that the attitude of unity is more important than individual ability. You are very good."
Hearing what Director Guo said, Sutina jumped for joy and clapped her hands in excitement.
But Director Guo raised his hand again, suppressing Su Tina's excitement, and said seriously: "But the commander-in-chief also said that he will observe you for a period of time. If you perform well in training during this period, your performance is stable enough and calm enough. , you have to be sensible enough to complete this flight. This is the bottom line."
"call…"
Song Wenbin let out a long sigh after hearing this.
At least Huo Yu was not screened out directly. As long as there was a chance to show off, everything would be easy to talk about. After all, this is a domestic project, and it is not like meeting random people when going abroad. In this case, it is still difficult to make Huo Yu nervous.
He quickly thanked me: "Thank you, team leader, and director. I'm really sorry for troubling you."
"It's nothing. We have no experience in commercial flying before, so we have to be cautious in everything." Leader Han said to Huo Yu seriously: "You must perform well during this period, and you must not make any principled mistakes. "
Huo Yu said nothing.
Song Wenbin on the side nodded his head like a chicken pecking at the rice: "Yes, yes, we must perform well and not let the leader down."
"But..." Director Guo continued: "When I came here in the morning, I met the host of Celebrity Dates outside the base. She said she wanted to interview you. Is this true?"
Eh? ? ?
Song Wenbin can still understand what the director said before.
But when he suddenly mentioned this, he didn't react.
Huo Yu and Su Tina also looked puzzled. It must be said that this is the third time they have received similar invitations.
"I suggest you go and take a look." Director Guo suggested: "If she really comes to interview you sincerely, this can be regarded as an opportunity to change her image."
"Is this a mandatory requirement?" Song Wenbin asked tentatively.
"Oh, of course not, this is just my personal suggestion. After all, your public comments outside are a bit strange now. She also happens to be a famous host. If I can take the opportunity of this interview to make a guarantee to the people of the country, let When they see your changed attitude, maybe those rumors can be put to rest."
After a pause, Director Guo said calmly: "Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. It is up to you to decide whether to go or not."
After the director left, the three of them immediately got together.
Song Wenbin touched his chin and said to himself: "This guy...does he really want to interview us...?"
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Su Tina suggested: "I think what the director said makes sense. If we can make our position clear, maybe the public will change their minds."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not interested." Huo Yu said casually.
Song Wenbin pondered for a long time. He refused to be interviewed because he was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his promise. But now that the opposition voices outside are relatively loud, perhaps, they should indeed make some statements. However, he was a little uncertain about the other party's purpose. He continued the interview after being rejected twice in a row. This was really abnormal.
"Well, let's meet and communicate with the host in private first to see what her purpose is. If she is really willing to speak out for us, it doesn't hurt that we take some time to be interviewed by her." Song Wenbin was cautious. said.
"You have the final say." Huo Yu shrugged.
After making the decision, Song Wenbin informed the director. Paulie helped them contact each other.
Soon, they came up with a charter and decided to meet host Zhuo Yan in a private capacity later in the evening in the cafeteria of Space City.
