Chapter 67

After the commotion and laughter subsided, the three of them finally settled down comfortably.

This was a spacious suite, elegantly and fashionably decorated, luxurious and warm.

The outer room was arranged like a modern company boss's office, with a large desk, a leather swivel chair, sofas, a coffee table, and a cabinet filled with books.

The inner room, with two large beds, a bathroom, and a wardrobe, was more like a boudoir.

It seemed that this place was not only a workplace for Xiang Wanqing and Bai Yunduo but also a temporary resting place for them.

Xiang Wanqing pointed to Chu Tianshu and asked Bai Yunduo, "Yunduo, are you very familiar with him? How did you meet?"

"Isn't it all because of you?"

"You two are so close, does it have anything to do with me?"

"Of course it does. If I hadn't answered your call, I wouldn't have met him."

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Bai Yunduo beamed and recounted how she and Chu Tianshu had bumped into each other, how they had teamed up to humiliate Zhu Wangcai, how they had raced on the street, and how they had set a trap for the luxury car from the island country to crash into a wall. She ended with how she had smashed the car lights with her high heels, exclaiming, "What a rush! I haven't felt this good in over twenty years."

As Xiang Wanqing listened, her eyes nearly popped out.

"Hey, how did you two meet?" Bai Yunduo asked Xiang Wanqing after finishing her story.

"Ha ha, we met through a blind date."

"Ah?" Bai Yunduo pretended to punch Xiang Wanqing. "You wench, you really went behind my back to find a man."

"Stop it, stop it."

Xiang Wanqing, with a vivid expression, recounted how Chu Tianshu had pretended to be a classmate for the blind date, how they had encountered kidnappers, how they had worked together to save a little boy, and how they had assisted the police in killing two criminals. She exclaimed, "How about that? Our experience was more thrilling and exciting than yours."

Bai Yunduo stood up and extended her hand, "Bro, what's your name? I admire you so much, can you sign for me?"

Chu Tianshu, holding her soft hand, politely said, "Chu Tianshu, Chu from Chu State, Tian from weather, and Shu from comfort."

Xiang Wanqing opened her mouth wide, "Ah? Yunduo, I admire you even more. You brought him here to have fun, and you didn't even know his name? If he ran away, wouldn't you have let him take advantage of you for nothing?"

Bai Yunduo waved her phone, smugly saying, "Hmph, he can't run. I have his phone number." Then she carefully examined Chu Tianshu and suddenly said, "No, we've met before."

"Really?" Chu Tianshu and Xiang Wanqing said in unison.

"Um, let me think," Bai Yunduo looked up at the ceiling, thinking. "I remember, a few days ago, your girlfriend twisted her ankle, and you took her to the emergency room. You don't remember? You even tried to get close to me and asked for my phone number."

Chu Tianshu also remembered and exclaimed, "You're that Dr. Bai?"

"Yes, Bai Yunduo." Bai Yunduo laughed so hard she bent over. "Ha ha, this is too amazing. Ha ha..."

Suddenly, she stopped laughing and asked seriously, "Hey, Chu Tianshu, she's not your girlfriend, right?"

Chu Tianshu nodded, "Right, she's my colleague."

The world is truly full of wonders. You wouldn't know unless you talked about it, and once you do, it's quite a shock.

It turned out that before Chu Tianshu and Xiang Wanqing met Bai Yunduo, so many strange stories had already happened.

After the story was told, Xiang Wanqing said, "Yunduo, go get us something to eat, I need to talk to him about something."

Bai Yunduo pouted, "No way, you're sending me away. What are you two planning to do alone?"

"Yunduo, stop it. I really need to talk to him about something."

"What do you need to talk about that you have to hide from me?"

Xiang Wanqing smiled bitterly, "Yunduo, I invited him here to discuss a program, not to do what you're imagining."

"Hmph, I don't think you dare. Watch me tear your mouth apart." Bai Yunduo spoke fiercely but didn't continue to argue, asking, "What do you want to eat? McDonald's, KFC, or Haoke Lai?"

"Anything is fine." Xiang Wanqing, looking anxious, pulled Chu Tianshu to sit on the sofa, took out a pen and an interview notebook, and quickly asked several questions, "Tianshu, have you talked to the girl who wants to sell herself to save her mother? Will she change her mind? What's her family situation?"

Chu Tianshu then recounted the critical condition of Zheng Xiaomin's mother and the family's financial situation, all the way to how Zheng Xiaomin, out of desperation, went to the night club at People's Square to find a buyer, willing to trade her virginity for 100,000 yuan to pay for her mother's surgery.

Xiang Wanqing, a former war correspondent, indeed had a chivalrous heart. After listening, she immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll report the topic right away. Once everything is ready, we'll start filming and interviewing, and broadcast it as soon as possible. I'll call for people to help in the program, and raising 100,000 yuan for the surgery should be no problem."

Chu Tianshu said, "Great, then I'll thank you on behalf of the Zheng family."

Xiang Wanqing put away her interview notebook, paused, and said, "Well, it seems you're quite reliable. Since you've helped me a lot, I won't hold it against you for taking advantage of my wife earlier."

Just as Bai Yunduo returned with a pile of takeout, she immediately protested, "Hey, I'm your wife, okay?"

Xiang Wanqing countered, "No, you're clearly my wife."

Chu Tianshu, waving his hands to mediate, said, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. You're making my head spin. Who is whose wife?"

The two beauties continued to argue, neither giving in.

These two together were truly amusing!

Chu Tianshu had a sudden idea. Standing between the two, he said mysteriously, "Stop arguing. You won't get anywhere by arguing. How about I mediate for you?"

Xiang Wanqing and Bai Yunduo stopped arguing and stared at Chu Tianshu with wide eyes.

"Okay! No favoritism."

"Guaranteed to be fair and impartial."

Chu Tianshu smiled and asked Xiang Wanqing, "Do you really want her to be your wife?"

"Yes."

Chu Tianshu then smiled and asked Bai Yunduo, "What about you?"

"Of course I do!"

"This is too easy." Chu Tianshu deliberately paused, creating suspense.

"Tell us, tell us." The two beauties each shook one of Chu Tianshu's arms, urging him.

Chu Tianshu put an arm around each of them and laughed, "Both of you can be my wives, that's it."

"Wow! You're so bad!" Xiang Wanqing and Bai Yunduo both exclaimed, and together they each grabbed one of Chu Tianshu's arms, pushing him onto the sofa and giving him a playful beating.

At this moment, a sparsely dressed woman rushed in, pinning the three of them on the sofa, shouting, "Great, I want to join the three against one."

"Sisters, come join in." Then a group of sparsely dressed women rushed in from all directions, covering the large sofa with their white, bare skin.

Chu Tianshu, sprawled on the sofa, happily accepted the playful assault from the group of half-naked women.

The next morning, Xiang Wanqing reported the topic to the "First Scene" program group of Qingyuan TV.

The channel's boss, with a keen sense of news, listened to the report and said enthusiastically, "Good, this topic is great. It has women, sex, tragedy, and a happy ending. It has all the elements that grab attention, and it's hard for the ratings not to be high."

The topic was immediately reported to the deputy director in charge of news review, Kang Guangsheng, and was quickly approved.

The leader, with a higher perspective, had a higher political awareness than the channel's boss. He instructed the program group, "Now many people only think about getting rich and having fun. As a responsible news media, Qingyuan TV should use our programs to awaken people's conscience and love, and vigorously promote the kindness and beauty in the world."

At the same time, he personally required Xiang Wanqing to do a good job with this topic, not only to focus on it but also to delve deeper, attracting the attention of the entire city.

With the leadership's instructions, the "First Scene" program group, like they had been injected with adrenaline, worked swiftly and efficiently, and the preparations went smoothly and quickly.

Chu Tianshu was promoted to deputy director of the office, in charge of the work, but he was actually more relaxed than before.

Qi Daguang from the Secretariat was submissive, Zhao Pingyuan and others were obedient, Fan Yibing and Liu Chunna from the Comprehensive Department were loyal, and the driver Lao Miao and others were diligent. The office, which had been chaotic and full of intrigue, now had a clear leadership core, with smooth communication, a pleasant atmosphere, and all work proceeding in an orderly manner, with a completely new spirit.

Upon learning that Xiang Wanqing's topic had been approved, Chu Tianshu discussed the details of the filming and interviewing with her in detail.

To avoid exposing the identity of the Zheng family, Chu Tianshu suggested to Xiang Wanqing that she start filming from the point where Zheng Xiaomin went to the night club to find a buyer, then interview Zheng Xiaomin, leading to the topic of her mother's serious illness and the inability to afford the surgery. To avoid disturbing the seriously ill mother, they would go to the hospital later to shoot a few scenes of her on the bed.

Xiang Wanqing's eyes lit up as she listened, saying, "Tianshu, your ability to capture excitement is even better than mine. It's a waste that you're not a journalist."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "Not at all, my goal is to protect the patient and the parties involved. I'm not intentionally trying to capture excitement. This just shows that your topic and concept not only reflect public sentiment but also conform to the laws of journalism."

After finalizing the shooting plan, Chu Tianshu immediately found Zheng Xiaomin. He patiently worked on her, persuading her not to worry and to use her genuine emotions to move and touch the audience, and repeatedly warned her not to expose her parents' identities, especially not to mention the Instrument Factory.

To prevent any slip of the tongue, Chu Tianshu also simulated the interview, guiding and practicing with Zheng Xiaomin.

Everything was ready.

On the third night, the filming officially began.
