Chapter 77: Look, Director Lu is coming out!

“Grandma Feng, wait for me!”

“Grandma Feng, slow down! The director told us you can’t be running so fast!”

“Grandma Feng, which way did the bunny go?”

Qihe: 【Hehe, I guessed right. It really is Doctor Feng.】

Beiming Yunxi: 【Wow, Doctor Feng is still going strong! With that speed, she could totally pass the 800-meter fitness test for me. No problem at all.】

Ming Qinyue: 【Hey, leave some bamboo shoots for the rest of us!】

Ming Qinyue: 【You want an elderly lady to run the 800 meters for you? Are you a demon?】

Effortless Mo Tingting: 【Is 800 meters really that hard? Three minutes and forty-five seconds, easy peasy.】

Beiming Yunxi: 【Ahhh, sis above, add me on WeChat! Let’s make a little y~p deal. You run the 800 meters for me, I’ll set you up with someone. How about it?】

Effortless Mo Tingting: 【∑(?ooo) R-Really? But I’m worried my boyfriend won’t like that.】

Beiming Yunxi: 【A boyfriend is a boyfriend, a match is a match, a husband is a husband, and a darling is a darling. They don’t conflict at all (dog head)!】

Sui Xin Yi Dong: 【Damn! This is such a slap in the face! Qiqi, you call that bad health?】

Even the viewers in the livestream chat weren’t the only ones stunned. The streamer Qiqi herself was momentarily frozen in shock.

Was that really Doctor Feng?

How was she running so fast?

At that pace, climbing seven flights of stairs in one go shouldn’t be a problem.

But according to the information Qiqi had received, Doctor Feng had left the hospital and come to work at the orphanage precisely because of poor health, at her family’s urging.

That information shouldn’t have been wrong.

Could it really be like the rumors online said?

That the food at the orphanage was so good it nursed Doctor Feng back to health?

Is that why she’s so fit now?

Uncertain. Better observe a bit more later.

If she got lucky around lunchtime, maybe she could sneak a meal at the orphanage.

Shy? (? ???w??? ?)?

Soon, Qiqi arrived at the donation area Lu Qingqiang had arranged earlier.

The donation area was neatly set up with rows of desks and chairs.

On the tables were not only fruit, bottled water, markers, and disposable paper cups.

“Wow, I have to say, Director Lu of this orphanage is really thoughtful.”

“Normally when we go to events, either there’s no water or no seats for us, or everyone gets the same bottle of water.”

“Here, even though the water is the same, they’ve placed markers next to them.”

“With the markers, we can write our names or nicknames directly on the bottles.”

“That way, no one grabs the wrong one.”

“Plus, they even prepared disposable cups, flower tea, loose leaf tea, and little packets of brown sugar.”

“If you want something warm to drink, you can go get some steaming hot water yourself~”

Don’t underestimate the pear blossoms scattering across the sky: 【Do you think this was Teacher Yuan’s idea?】

Qihe: 【I think it’s possible. Teacher Yuan is super gentle and kind!】

Ainiゞ: 【Director Lu is gentle too. She manages the orphanage so well. She’s really amazing.】

Contrarian No.1: 【Heh, just managing an orphanage makes her amazing? If I were in charge, I’d do even better!】

Qiqi’s Superfan: 【Wow, your name really suits you! What are you, a barbell reincarnated?】

Effortless Mo Tingting: 【Hahaha, sis, if you’ve got more to say, keep it coming!】

“Alright, darlings, let’s all get along. No fighting.”

“Look, Director Lu is coming out!”

“Wow, turns out Director Lu isn’t just kind-hearted, she’s also super gorgeous.”

“…”

Today, Lu Qingqiang wore a white wool V-neck sweater underneath a well-tailored dark gray casual blazer.

A pair of dark blue jeans made her legs look long and straight.

On her feet were black combat boots.

Her slightly wavy long hair was casually draped over her shoulders and back.

The only accessory she wore was a pair of snowflake-shaped earrings.

She looked simple, elegant, and effortlessly chic.

Ainiゞ: 【Ahhh, her legs are so long and straight!】

Qiqi’s Superfan: 【Wait, this is the orphanage director? Oh my god, she’s way too beautiful!】

Qiqi’s Superfan: 【Sob sob, Qiqi, you’re gorgeous too, but I’m sorry… seeing her, I’m kind of tempted to switch sides. Sob o(╥﹏╥)o】

True Contrarian: 【Heh, an orphanage director this young? Who knows how she got the job.】

Contrarian No.2: 【With her looks, obviously. These days, beauty is a powerful tool.】

Contrarian No.2: 【I even suspect that face of hers was surgically enhanced to please some rich backer.】

Dugu Feng Who Loves Scholar Dumplings: 【Upstairs is an idiot. Certified.】

Xian Shi-yi: 【Contrarians, if you don’t like what you see, then leave. Why keep yapping? Isn’t it annoying?】

Bai Shui? Bing ‘???’: 【I work in cosmetic medicine. I don’t think Director Lu’s face is fake. It looks natural.】

Dugu Feng Who Loves Scholar Dumplings: 【Abracadabra: Whoever talks nonsense gets five centimeters shorter!】

Qihe: 【Hahaha, sis, you’re savage. I love it!】

Don’t underestimate the pear blossoms scattering across the sky: 【666】

Effortless Mo Tingting: 【】

Muye District: 【Look! That guy just knelt down in front of Director Lu!】

Qihe: 【I know him. He and his grandson were attacked by a thug. It was Director Lu and Doctor Feng who gave them emergency treatment and saved their lives.】

Xian Shi-yi: 【I saw the news interview. The attacker claimed he had a psychotic episode and mistook the child for the illegitimate son of his cheating wife. That’s why he attacked.】

A British Chef Bunny Who Loves History: 【Then what about the grandpa? Did the psycho think he was the father-in-law? (dog head)】

Xian Shi-yi: 【Yeah, apparently that’s exactly what the guy said.】

A British Chef Bunny Who Loves History: 【What the heck is going on? Where’s the gossip?】

Qihe: 【Here’s the link (you’re welcome, go read it yourself!)】

eMei: 【Am I the only one who thinks that grandpa and grandson were really unlucky? Just because they were mistaken for someone else, they almost got hacked to death?】

eMei: 【That’s way too tragic.】

eMei: 【If the orphanage staff hadn’t rescued them, wouldn’t they have died for nothing?】

Qiqi’s Boyfriend: 【Is it possible the attacker made that story up just to avoid the death penalty? After all, being mentally ill and killing someone has a different outcome than doing it sane (dog head, just trying to survive)】

Qiqi Beside Me: 【If you ask me, even if he went crazy, he should’ve gone after his cheating ex-wife. Why attack random people?】

eMei: 【Because he’s sick!】

Xian Shi-yi: 【So being sick means you can do whatever you want? What about the hospitals? What about his family?】

Banxia Jitsu: 【Everyone, calm down. Let’s wait for the official statement.】

Beiming Yunxi: 【Look! That girl going up to thank Director Lu is super pretty too (drools)】
