Chapter 76: Morning News with Qiqi

After hanging up the video call with Lu Jianshen, Lu Qingqiang switched into study mode without any distractions.

At exactly 11:30, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, Lu Qingqiang was up bright and early.

Today, the orphanage was expecting a group of visitors. They were coming not only to express their gratitude, but also to make donations.

Accompanying them were several reporters from different media outlets, as well as some independent bloggers and popular news influencers.

Lu Qingqiang was fairly attentive to the upcoming interviews and donations, but she didn’t let it throw her into a frenzy.

Her attentiveness showed in the preparations: she had arranged seats, fruit, bottled water, and directional signs for the guests in advance.

She also specifically reminded Master Zhao that the guests might be having lunch in the canteen today, and told him to stay ready for updates so he could prepare accordingly.

As for everyone else in the orphanage, the day went on as usual—those who needed to exercise did so, breakfast was served on time, and classes proceeded as scheduled.

Around 9:30 in the morning, Yan Fang at the front gate welcomed the first wave of visitors.

Some of the injured individuals had arrived with their families. Alongside them were media personnel and independent bloggers.

Among them was a sweet-looking girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a white blouse with a bow. She pointed her camera directly at Yan Fang and smiled as she greeted her viewers through her phone.

“Hi everyone, this is your girl Qiqi, up bright and early!”

“For those who follow me, you know I do early morning news reports. Wherever I go, there’s news to be found.”

“So, what kind of breaking news are we going to witness today?”

“Hit that follow button so you don’t get lost. This is your Morning News with Qiqi!”

“Ta-da! Look at this gorgeous, confident, tall short-haired lady standing guard at the entrance. Anyone recognize her?”

User A: 【Who is she? Is she famous? Judging by the outfit, she looks like a security guard.】

Sand Hidden Loves Goslings: 【She’s got such strong presence. Was she in the military before?】

Floating Cloud Seals Intent: 【Wow, what a cool beauty! She’s tall and handsome, I’m dying here!】

I’m the Argumentative One: 【Seriously? Just film a random woman in a security uniform and call it morning news?】

I’m the Argumentative One: 【Bet the host coordinated this with the security guard ahead of time just to get views. So lame (picks nose)】

Qihe: 【Ah!!! I know that lady! She’s the security officer at Jiang City Loving Heart Orphanage.】

Qihe: 【Remember that incident over a month ago, when a psychiatric patient escaped from the hospital and attacked people on the street?】

Xian Shi-yi: 【I remember, what about it?】

Qihe: 【That security lady is the one who kicked the attacker away with a single blow!】

Qihe: 【She was so cool, seriously!!!】

Qihe: 【I still have the jpg of her kicking that guy flying!】

Effortless Mo Tingting: 【Sis above, send me a copy!】

Sky Blue Awaits Rain: 【Ahhh! She’s beautiful and badass! Marry me, please!】

A British Chef Bunny Who Loves History: 【So, is today’s news about that lady, or about the orphanage behind her?】

Silly Little Fruit: 【I bet a spicy strip that Qiqi’s going to interview the orphanage director.】

Icy Water?Bing ‘???’: 【Reliable sources say the people who were injured by the psychiatric patient have fully recovered.】

Icy Water?Bing ‘???’: 【If I’m right, they’re here to express their thanks, and Qiqi’s here to film it.】

“Congratulations to Icy Water with Bing, you guessed it!”

“Now, let me show you the scene.”

“It’s currently 9:34 AM Beijing time, and I’m standing at the entrance of Jiang City Loving Heart Orphanage.”

“Right now, besides me, there are several reporters from different media platforms and some fellow content creators waiting here.”

“As for the people who came to give thanks, they’ve just entered the orphanage.”

“The reporters and the rest of us are lining up to register before we can go in.”

“Is anyone curious about what Jiang City Loving Heart Orphanage looks like inside?”

“Once I get permission from the staff, I’ll take you all on a little tour!”

Smiling at Falling Pear Blossoms: 【Ahhh, I’m here, I’m here! I came to see Teacher Yuan and the little cuties. Where are they? Where are they?】

Annieゞ: 【Blogger, if you see Teacher Yuan, please remind her that she hasn’t streamed in almost two months!】

Annieゞ: 【Has she forgotten about us by Daming Lake? Boohoo ┭┮﹏┭┮】

User: 【I want to see the little cuties! I want to see Master Zhao! I want to see a canteen mukbang!】

“Don’t worry, everyone. If I see Teacher Yuan later, I’ll pass along your messages!”

“Wow, look! The cool lady just waved at me!”

“Hehe, I’ve made it inside the orphanage now.”

“I heard there’s going to be a small donation ceremony soon.”

“Let me take you to check out the venue first.”

“If all goes well, we might even get to meet the director of Jiang City Loving Heart Orphanage.”

“Word is, during the emergency rescue over a month ago, Director Lu and the staff worked together to save lives.”

“Also involved in the rescue was the orphanage’s in-house doctor, Feng Shou.”

“Anyone know about Feng Shou?”

Hulala’s Arno: 【I do, I do! That’s Doctor Feng!!!】

Hulala’s Arno: 【Doctor Feng is a renowned pediatrician. Her appointments are nearly impossible to get!】

Hulala’s Arno: 【It used to be hard to book her. Now it’s straight-up impossible.】

I’m Argumentative Expert No. 2: 【Listen to yourself. That logic makes no sense!】

I’m Argumentative Expert No. 2: 【All you’re trying to say is that she’s hard to book and really skilled.】

I’m Argumentative Expert No. 2: 【I’ll pay 800 yuan to a scalper. I don’t believe I can’t get an appointment.】

I’m Argumentative Expert No. 2: 【These days, sometimes you just need to flex your wallet to get things done, got it? (smug, sunglasses, cold snort emoji)】

Hulala’s Arno: 【LOL, Doctor Feng doesn’t even take appointments anymore, okay?】

“Looks like Arno knows a lot about our Doctor Feng.”

“And Arno’s right. After resigning from her previous hospital, Doctor Feng now works exclusively at Jiang City Loving Heart Orphanage.”

“Many people say it’s a waste of talent for her not to take appointments anymore~”

“But according to what Qiqi knows, Doctor Feng once got seriously ill from overworking and seeing too many patients.”

“Given her age and health, she really shouldn’t be overexerting herself, which is why she chose to come to the orphanage.”

“Qiqi thinks it’s actually a great fit. There are lots of children here.”

“For Doctor Feng, this is still right within her area of expertise.”

“And while she’s here, she can also take care of her health.”

Moved by a Thought: 【Eh? Who was that elderly lady who just ran by? She looked pretty old, but she was fast!】

Beiming Yunxi: 【Right before her, a super chubby bunny ran past. At first, I thought I was seeing things.】

Qihe: 【An old lady? Could that be the Doctor Feng we were just talking about?】

At a whim: 【Impossible. Qiqi said Doctor Feng isn’t in good health and is recuperating. There’s no way she could run that fast.】
