When the Phone Rings

Part 1

This was a live broadcast accident."It's really an unprecedented heavy rain. Longest-lasting heavy rain causes nearby landslidesCollapse, about 500 residents of the village were evacuated to temporary shelters...』There was an accident during the disaster broadcast, just an ordinary accident.To say it is small is indeed just a small mistake——The problem is below, not above.1/16 of the screen occupies a small circle.
In that circle, Xizhu, who was in charge of the sign language interpreter, raised her middle finger and stood still.'What......!'In panic, his eyes became blank.From outside the studio, the director stood up and yelled angrily, even through the thick glass wall.Also vaguely audible.'This has never happened in such a long time...!'Her eyeballs trembled for a while, but she remained calm and continued signing. She didn't know when the picture would be restored.He stared at the teleprompter with an unwavering expression.
But one second, two seconds, three seconds...She held her middle finger and froze for ten seconds, and sweat began to drip quietly.'It's over.... 'Although he kept making gestures, his heart was racing with anxiety.On the screen, she was still shouting "Mountain--Mountain!" fiercely, but there was already chaos in the control room.group.The screenwriter grabbed his hair, and the assistant director hurriedly picked up the phone and kept bowing and apologizing.At this time, fortunately, the screen switched to the reporter's live report.Xizhu finally wiped away the blush and nervousness on her face."Translator, are you okay?"The screenwriter from the news department approached, and Xizhu just nodded blankly.
'I need to take medicine, I feel like I need to take medicine. 'The director seemed to be on the phone with his boss, nodding and bending while scratching his hair.In fact, as long as the middle finger and thumb are spread together, it means "mountain", but because of the strangeThere was a lag, and Xizhu's finger only highlighted the middle finger.It would be nice if people understood it was an accidental mistake, but often the louder side wins.Sure enough, the director walked out with a gloomy expression not long after."Xizhu, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."He scratched his messy hair irritably."-There's breaking news!"
At this time, bang! The door of the control room was pushed open, and the assistant director hurried in."It's about the kidnapping incident. The Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson wants an urgent briefing!""What?""The Cheong Wa Dae directly issued an official document requesting all radio stations to broadcast it at the same time!"Upon hearing this, the director's face quickly changed color, and he quickly put on the headphones hanging around his neck."Quickly, add sudden subtitles and see if you can connect to the anchor naturally!"A dark blue background fills the screen.A blue podium with the Cheong Wa Dae logo.The Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson standing in front of the podium swept away the awkward atmosphere just now like a wave.go.Wearing a meticulous black suit, he looked directly at the camera with sharp eyes.
Xizhu held her breath and stared at him."Xizhu, can you translate on the spot now..."The director who was asking casual questions suddenly stopped."Ah, I'm sorry, I...cough, I will contact you again."He looked a little embarrassed and left in a hurry."There was no sign language interpreter for the Blue House briefing."Hee Joo probably understood what the director wanted to say.'Am I being replaced?'
With her mouth full of bitterness, Xizhu stood up and picked up the bag placed in the corner of the studio.As a child, she was silent due to aphasia. Perhaps because of this, she often felt that the world around herThe world is as far away as a fish tank.A place of unspeakable oppression. No matter how you open your mouth, all you spit out is foam from the bottom of the sea.Hee Joo, who grew up on that seabed, must learn to communicate in sign language.This is a pretty good fit for Hee Joo. However, even this got so bad.The tired feeling of powerlessness enveloped my whole body again."Hello everyone, I am Bai Siyan, spokesperson of the Blue House. 』
But that man was different.A low and firm voice caught Hee Joo's footsteps as he was about to leave the studio.This kind of sound is usually difficult to hear.The thick and sharp pronunciation directly hits the heart.My heart is beating tirelessly today."On the 5th, the negotiation for 16 of our citizens who were kidnapped in the southwestern part of the Arkan Republic started this morning.start. 』The staff gathered in front of the big screen.They all straightened their backs, not seeming to be focusing on the content, but rather overwhelmed by theThe sexual aura is shocking.Hee Joo is no exception."The government response team has arrived at the local area and conducted two face-to-face negotiations, but the twoThe hostage was killed. The armed forces demand that South Korean troops withdraw immediately and pay ransom——』
Although the tone of being completely stripped of emotions is ruthless, it is closer to solid than blunt."If you don't agree to the request, additional hostages will be killed." 』The man looking directly into the camera has extremely determined eyes.The black hair and pupils are too deep, and the contrasting skin is as cold as ice.This man who conveyed the highest instructions had many things that she did not have.He is an outstanding political star with political sensitivity——A tough tongue-tied person."Don't show mercy to the government." His anecdote, in which he accused reporters of their lax attitude, has gone viral.pass.
What the president needs is a "mouth" that can fight tenaciously, so he fights with reporters' nerves every moment.All extremely intense.Since entering the Cheong Wa Dae as the youngest spokesman, this figure has never had aDispute or replacement.Spokespersons in the past generations have been replaced frequently due to speculation, sexual harassment, external pressure, lies, etc.He resigned four or five times, and Bai Siyan's clean record is undoubtedly unprecedented."Next, I will explain the Blue House's position. 』He grasped the sides of the podium with both hands and leaned forward toward the microphone.However, his head didn't move at all, and his sharp eyes were as cold as knives.Momentary movements and silence also convey an intention, appearing sophisticated and cunning.Thirty-five years old.
In the political arena that is like a battle, it is almost impossible for a man in his thirties to control public opinion so much.It seems an impossible story, but considering his great-grandfather and grandfather, it is naturalof.He was born that way.Bai Siyan itself is a clear message."There are no plans to negotiate a ransom with the kidnappers. 』
The gaze that seemed to penetrate the camera made Xizhu tremble."We are not a couple."A hint of contempt suddenly emerged from those merciless words."You are just a hostage sent to my side."Three years ago, Xizhu, who had just become his wife, was glanced at coldly by him.That was the last conversation between the couple.Three years of political marriage.There was no communication for three years.Husband and wife are just people who convey messages on behalf of others and never speak to each other.Originally, Xizhu hardly spoke, but her husband treated her like a transparent person.I feel the cold in the 70-square-meter wedding room every day. seen more often on TV than at homehusband.Is this a rather unhappy married life?
"There will be no compromise on the principles that must be followed. 』Xizhu played with her finger without a wedding ring out of habit.Even so, she couldn't take her eyes away from her ruthless husband.It was a stupid feeling that I couldn't let go from the first time I saw him."Son, it's time to resign.""...!"It's finally here.

Xizhu was about to hold the steaming tea cup, but her hand stopped in mid-air.

After leaving the TV station, she has been avoiding her mother's calls, but her mother did not hesitate to call her through her kisses.

The family arranged this meeting.

Xizhu felt that her biological mother and mother-in-law sitting in front of her seemed particularly out of place.

Her mother-in-law is a Korean university professor from a family of scholars, while her mother, Kim Yeon-hee, was a club member.

Na's signature singer eventually became the president's wife. The scene of the two sitting together is really

It's too inconsistent.

However, for some reason, these two people joined forces to put pressure on Xizhu.

"In one month, the election team will be formed. So you should resign and join your father-in-law's campaign.

Choose a team. "

The mother-in-law's tone was gentle, but Xizhu felt a splitting headache.

She had already anticipated such a day and knew the role she would play.

"Si Yan works at the Blue House and cannot participate in the campaign. But if you can help, it will be meOur most powerful help. "Xizhu clenched and unclenched her numb hand.This is a political marriage for power. Her father-in-law is the next presidential candidate, and sheMarriage is just to fill a void.Bai Siyan's family is a political family and has produced the first vice president, prime minister, justice, and national minister.Member of parliament, dean of audit, chairman of the Central Election Commission, president of a political party, etc., are known asA family that "has held every position except president." Their only goal is this timeAfter winning the general election, Xizhu was "temporarily" sent to maintain the unity of the family.Just the day before the wedding, Bai Siyan's real fiancée, who was also the protagonist of this marriage,The stepsister suddenly disappeared.
