Chapter 84: Setting a Trap

The video content they were watching on site was about two interns.

Intern A and Intern B were both competing for a project. In the end, the strength shown by Intern A was stronger than that shown by Intern B. Obviously, this project was going to fall on Intern A.

However, things did not develop according to everyone's expectations.

Intern B's boss found Intern A and hoped that he would withdraw from the competition for this project by offering him the opportunity to study at the headquarters.

Once Intern A withdrew, the project would naturally fall to Intern B.

The controversy of the matter happened here.

Intern A fell into entanglement and hesitation.

The guests who came to record this show today included Chen Jiping, an actor who became popular last year because of a spy drama, and Chen Bing, a talk show actor who has been quite famous in recent years. The argument mainly happened between the two of them.

Chen Bing said: "This is too unfair. It was Intern A and Intern B competing, but Intern B's boss came to intervene and used the opportunity to train at the headquarters to tempt Intern A to give up this project. Do you know what kind of feeling I have? It's like when we were young and worked hard to prepare for a stage performance, worked hard for a long time, and in the end, the opportunity was snatched away by another classmate. It wasn't because this classmate's performance was better than ours, nor was it because of other reasons, just because this classmate's parents greeted the teacher and gave gifts, so we lost this opportunity."

"I think the nature of these two things is a bit different," Chen Jiping said. "The example you just gave, Chen Bing, you were completely unaware, or rather, you were deprived of the right to go on stage in a completely passive situation. This is indeed unfair. But what we just saw, obviously, although the means of Intern B's boss are not glorious, he didn't deprive Intern A of the opportunity behind his back. He just brought out another opportunity that was also full of temptation to Intern A, letting Intern A give up voluntarily. This situation is too common in our lives."

Chen Bing nodded: "Chen Laoshi, you are right, but have you ever thought about whether an opportunity to go on a project and an opportunity to study at the headquarters have the same value? It seems that Intern A was given a choice, but can Intern A really make a choice that matches his heart?"

"Why not?"

"Because Intern B's boss is not only Intern B's boss, but also a company leader. Intern A is just a small intern. Does he dare to refuse the choice proposed by the company leader?" Chen Bing said. "The seemingly fair choice proposed by Intern B's boss to Intern A actually has a cost of offense that is not on the table. Once Intern A does not accept the option of Intern B's boss, Intern A has the risk of offending Intern B's boss. Under this psychological pressure, do you still think this choice is fair?"

"It's unfair, but there are too many such unfair multiple-choice questions in life," Chen Jiping shook his head. "You also said that this is just a risk of offense. I won't say this is a delusion, because this risk of offense does exist. But if we want to pursue an absolutely fair workplace environment that is not affected by the outside world, it is simply unrealistic. Before I became an actor, I also worked in a company and faced the same situation. To be honest, this doesn't count as anything. Intern B's boss at least put these on the table and didn't play dirty behind his back. The kind of example you gave is the true norm of the workplace."

"Does Chen Laoshi mean that Intern B's boss is still a great philanthropist?" Chen Bing asked in disbelief.

Chen Jiping: "Don't misinterpret my meaning. I mean, compared to the real workplace, this situation doesn't count as unfair at all. At least Intern A already has the opportunity to make a choice."

The two started an argument that lost its discussion value.

However, at this moment, Lu Yan He was distracted.

He thought of someone.

Xu Zijun.

Why did she give up the independent enrollment recommendation quota?

Which normal student would give up this quota?

Behind the incomprehensible choice, does such a choice dilemma also exist?

Suddenly, with a "bang," a huge sound startled Lu Yan He from his distraction.

He was shocked and came back to his senses.

Chen Jiping didn't know what happened, slapped the table, and stood up angrily.

"I'll go to the restroom."

He left the studio with a very ugly face.

And Chen Bing also crossed his arms, turned around very unhappily, and didn't look at Chen Jiping.

The faces of the directing team all turned ugly.

The speeches of these guests had already been written by screenwriters, and they just had to read according to the script. They had to improvise, and now they were arguing until their faces were red, and they couldn't end the show.

Speechless.

The host of the show, Jiang Xin, smiled and smoothed things over: "Recording our kind of observational show is like this. Guests are very easy to get into the situation and stir up their own emotions. Everyone, take a break for a while."

She said to Lu Yan He: "Yan He, this should be your first time recording this kind of variety show, right?"

Lu Yan He nodded.

Jiang Xin said: "You are still in high school. Can you understand these things everyone was discussing just now?"

Lu Yan He didn't know how to answer.

If he couldn't understand, why did the show team invite him?

He pursed his lips and said: "Uh, I can understand."

Jiang Xin immediately asked: "Then who do you think is right, the two Teacher Chens?"

Lu Yan He frowned subconsciously, feeling that this host had a problem. Although Chen Jiping left angrily, Chen Bing was still sitting here, right? She asked him who was right to his face, what should he say?

Saying anyone would offend the other.

He didn't answer, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Is our show going to continue recording? If we can take a break, I'll go to the restroom."

The people from the directing team nodded, signaling that he could go.

Lu Yan He ran away immediately.

Jiang Xin looked at Lu Yan He's back as he walked away quickly, thinking to herself, did the trap fail?

This kid is a bit cautious.

Afterwards, the directing team invited Chen Jiping back, and several guests acted according to the screenwriter's script, appearing to be in harmony but actually at odds.

This show was barely finished recording.

Lu Yan He thanked the people from the show team and left immediately.

Jiang Xin returned to her dressing room, locked the door, and called Zhou Ping'an.

"Hey, Ping'an, the thing you entrusted to me, I didn't handle it well," Jiang Xin said helplessly. "That kid you manage is quite shrewd. I just set the trap, and he ran away. Sorry, I didn't help with this matter."

Zhou Ping'an scoffed and said: "It's okay. I just wanted to ask you to help if you could. It doesn't matter if it didn't work out."

"However, I think this kid is quite sensible. Why do you want him to deliberately cause some trouble? Did he offend you somewhere?"

"He didn't offend me, he offended someone else. I'm also doing things for others. Only when he causes trouble can I have a legitimate reason to drive him away," Zhou Ping'an sighed helplessly. "Everything was going smoothly and I was just waiting for him to leave, but then this righteous and courageous thing happened. If there's no handle on him, it won't be easy for us to drive him away directly later." ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
