Chapter 226 Personal Video Account Incident
As we were talking, we heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Not long after, Lotta appeared at the door. A hint of worry crossed her face. Seeing Lei and me in the room, she gave a wry smile and said, "Looks like I'm not the only one worried here."
So, the three of us slowly moved to the large, soft, and comfortable sofa in the living room and sat down one by one. Each of us looked focused and serious as we began to carefully check each preparation.
The minutes ticked by, the night deepening outside the window, but we remained oblivious. We were completely focused on our to-do list, not missing a single detail. From itinerary planning and packing to checking essential items, every detail was discussed and confirmed repeatedly.
I don't know how long it took, but when the first rays of dawn quietly shone through the window into the house, we were surprised to find that the sky was gradually getting brighter. At this time, a faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon, as if covering the whole world with a soft veil.
Finally, after completing the final checklist, the three of us simultaneously looked up, our eyes meeting. At that moment, our eyes were filled with relief and satisfaction. The slight lingering worry had vanished, replaced by an uncontrollable excitement. We knew the long-awaited journey was about to begin!
All the meticulous planning and meticulous checks were finally complete. The eastern sky was already turning pale, and dawn was just around the corner. At this crucial moment, a crisp notification chimed from Lei's brain. It turned out that her husband and several other teachers who had come with him had successfully arrived on Snow Planet and were contacting her.
Lei didn't dare delay a moment and quickly reached out to press the communication button on her computer. Instantly, a familiar and friendly face appeared clearly on the screen—it was her beloved husband. Behind him stood several other teachers who had come with him, all smiling and looking energetic and bright.
"Honey, we just got off the spaceship. Everything went smoothly!" Lei's husband spoke first, his words full of joy. "I wonder how the preparations are going on your side? Is everything ready?"
Hearing this, Lei couldn't help but smile and replied softly: "Don't worry, dear, I have taken care of everything here. It can be said that everything is ready. We just need to set off!" After that, Lotta, who had been standing next to her, also curiously came to the camera and greeted everyone enthusiastically.
Just as everyone was chatting happily, an unexpected scene occurred. A tall, unfamiliar man slowly walked out from behind Lei's husband. His face was well-defined, and his deep eyes seemed to contain endless secrets, giving him an elusive and mysterious feeling.
The stranger stepped forward, nodded slightly, and politely introduced himself. "Hello everyone, I'm a local professional guide. I'm thoroughly familiar with Snow Planet's unique topography and its lesser-known hidden attractions. If you encounter any questions or need any help during your exploration, please feel free to contact me."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, then revealed expressions of surprise. Lei, in particular, couldn't help but chuckle and coquettishly said, "Oh my! This is such a pleasant surprise! I originally thought we'd have to figure this trip out on our own, but I didn't expect to have such an experienced guide to help us. It's truly wonderful!"
When we learned the teachers were about to arrive, our hearts raced with excitement. So, we all decided to quietly await their arrival in the hotel. As time ticked by, everyone kept glancing toward the door, hoping for that familiar figure to appear soon.
Finally, after a long wait, the teachers appeared in the hotel lobby. Seeing their slightly tired but still friendly faces, we hurried forward to greet them warmly. After some pleasantries, we learned that the teachers had gotten plenty of rest on the spacecraft, which was very comforting for everyone.
Next came the intense yet orderly handover of work. We detailed the progress of the previous tasks and the problems encountered to the teachers, and listened carefully to their suggestions and guidance. After a period of communication and interaction, all subsequent matters were smoothly completed.
At this moment, the sun had already risen high, and golden sunlight shone through the windows onto the ground, illuminating the entire world with exceptional clarity. After a busy night, the three of us—Lei, Lotta, and I—could not help but feel a hint of fatigue, both physically and mentally.
Our goodbyes seemed brief, but the care and warmth they contained were undeniable. Then, we each turned and walked towards our own rooms, each step heavy with weariness.
The moment I stepped into the room, it was as if all the strength slipped from my legs. As if without support, I fell straight onto the soft, comfortable bed. My head hit the pillow with a dull thud. Then, without hesitation, I closed my eyes, trying to immerse myself in the moment's tranquility.
Yet, even with my eyes closed, my mind, like a projector, kept flashing through the scenes of the day. Those thrilling, heartwarming, and touching images raced through my mind like film reels, unable to be shaken off.
Now, the children's summer camp has finally concluded successfully, marking the official end of my relaxing vacation. From now on, all my side hustles will need to be managed in an orderly manner, closely aligning with the children's lives. For example, my personal video account will be managed by Lillian. As for the subsequent photography work, I'll handle it myself for now. If I become too busy, I'll consider hiring others for help.
I thought I could just drift off for a bit, savoring this moment of peace. But no sooner had I closed my eyes than that damned computer started vibrating like crazy. Resigned, I slowly opened my eyes and saw the caller ID was Lillian. My heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.
I frantically pressed the answer button, and then I heard Lillian's extremely anxious voice on the other end: "Hey! Check our video account quickly, something big has happened!" Upon hearing this, my heart suddenly felt like it was being grabbed by an invisible hand, and the remaining trace of sleepiness disappeared without a trace. Without time to think, I hurriedly opened the video account, and the scene before me was simply jaw-dropping. The screen was filled with overwhelming questions and dissatisfied messages from netizens. A closer look revealed that it turned out that in the series of videos that had been scheduled for release in advance, several places had suffered extremely serious editing errors, which had greatly affected the coherence of the entire series, making it completely fragmented and unrecognizable.
I held Lillian's trembling hand tightly and comforted her softly, "Don't panic, Lillian, we will definitely be able to find a solution." At the same time, my brain was working rapidly, thinking about strategies to deal with the current dilemma.
Now that things have come to this, there is no other way but to re-edit the film and offer the most sincere apologies to the audience. However, when I think of the heavy re-editing work, coupled with the fact that I have just finished my vacation and have not yet fully recovered from my relaxation, and now I have to face such a difficult problem head-on, I feel the pressure surge like a tide, as if my whole head is about to explode.
Just as I was frantically panicking and at a loss for what to do, a flash of inspiration struck me: Azhe, the editing guru I'd once collaborated with! Perhaps he could help me out? Deciding to give it a try, I immediately grabbed my phone, quickly composed a message detailing the situation, and sent it to him. Time ticked by, and with each moment of waiting, my anxiety grew.
Fortunately, not long after, Azhe's reply was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly illuminating my nearly despairing heart. Seeing him readily agree to help, the heart that had been hanging in my throat finally settled down a little.
