Chapter 205 - Journalist Interview

Liu Ying took Zhang Wei to Jinling People’s Hospital to see a doctor.

After drinking the prescribed medicine from the attending physician, there were some effects.

By the next morning, Zhang Wei’s condition was not as serious as the night before.

However, he still had symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, itchy throat, nasal congestion, headache, sore limbs, and chills and fever.

But compared to the previous night, he felt a bit better.

After waking up and drinking some porridge, he took more medicine and slept again, sweating a lot.

When he thought he was almost recovered and wanted to go back to school to study in the afternoon, his cough suddenly worsened.

In the afternoon, he could only continue to take medicine and rest in his room.

He slept until evening, and when Liu Ying called him for dinner, Zhang Wei felt somewhat better.

Even so, he still felt uncomfortable all over, with acute bronchitis symptoms lingering.

After dinner and more medicine, he had to go back to his room to sleep.

Ye Qiu sat next to Su Luoluo, helping her solve some problems from time to time.

However, he felt that Su Luoluo wasn’t just asking for help with problems; she seemed to enjoy being close to him, as if whispering secrets.

Liu Lingxiu, who was sitting in front of them, noticed this.

If it weren’t for knowing that Ye Qiu was helping Su Luoluo with her problems, it would indeed seem like they were whispering sweet nothings.

When it was 10:30 in the evening and class was over, Ye Qiu got ready to leave the classroom with Liu Lingxiu.

Su Luoluo thoughtfully said, “Ye Qiu, your pastries will taste better if you warm them up when you get home.”

Ye Qiu took them and gave them to Liu Lingxiu.

When Liu Lingxiu smiled, Su Luoluo’s smile faded.

Suddenly, Su Luoluo felt that the previously naive Ye Qiu had become high in both IQ and EQ.

Her intentions had been seen through by him.

Ye Qiu rode his bike to send Liu Lingxiu home.

After watching her go inside, he rode his electric bike back to the old neighborhood.

As he went up the stairs to his apartment, he opened the door and saw Chen Fang and Ye Xue, but not Ye Weidong.

Ye Weidong probably still hadn’t returned from the restaurant.

Seeing Ye Qiu return, Ye Xue asked, “Brother, are you hungry?

Do you want me to make you a bowl of noodles?”

Previously, Ye Xue felt she at least had some purpose by making noodles for Ye Qiu every day, but now that Ye Qiu had three meals a day at Liu Lingxiu’s place, she felt as if she had no value as an elder sister.

“Sis, I’m not hungry.”

Ye Qiu planned to take a shower and then go back to his room to cultivate.

He felt that his cultivation speed was still too slow; at this rate, who knew how many years or months it would take to ascend and return to the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau.

Ye Qiu went to his room, grabbed some clothes, and went to the bathroom to shower.

Afterward, he returned to his room, turned off the lights and closed the door.

Chen Fang and Ye Xue, who were watching TV outside, thought Ye Qiu had gone to sleep.

Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on the mat, with moonlight shining on him.

The continuous intake of moonlight essence entered his meridians, transforming from spiritual energy to true qi, and then was stored in his dantian.

When Ye Qiu woke up, it was already past 8 a.m.

He got up to wash up and saw Ye Weidong sitting on the sofa, smoking and watching TV.

Ye Weidong looked a bit exhausted.

Ye Qiu initially intended for his parents and sister to settle down and have easy jobs, but now it seemed Ye Weidong was even more tired than when he was at the congee shop.

What was the point?

With Ye Qiu’s current income, even if the three of them stayed home without working, they would still be very comfortable.

However, Ye Qiu knew that simply letting his parents eat, drink, and play every day wasn’t feasible.

The three of them, being used to working, wouldn’t accept it.

Thus, Ye Qiu thought of having them run that restaurant.

Ye Qiu washed up and came out.

Ye Weidong asked, “What about those fines?”

Ye Weidong thought Ye Qiu had personally gone to settle scores with those people, but from Chen Fang, he knew Ye Qiu had spent the whole day at school with Liu Lingxiu yesterday.

“Dad, don’t worry.

Those fines are in Li Qianqian’s hands.”

Ye Weidong had almost forgotten about Ye Qiu’s relationship with Li Qianqian.

He knew Li Qianqian was Li Zhiguo’s daughter.

With Vice Mayor Li’s daughter in possession of the fines, it surely meant she had given them to her father.

There was no doubt Li Zhiguo would handle it quickly.

Ye Weidong had been worried about this issue, but Ye Qiu had already thought it through.

Still, he felt that troubling Li Qianqian to trouble Li Zhiguo might not be good.

“Ye Qiu, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”

Ye Weidong asked.

“What’s inappropriate?

Li Qianqian is quite willing, and cracking down on corruption is what Li Zhiguo is supposed to do.”

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Ye Weidong felt relieved.

Since Ye Weidong knew Li Zhiguo would lend a hand, he didn’t worry anymore.

He went downstairs, rode his motorcycle, and headed to the restaurant.

Ye Qiu finished the bowl of beef noodles made by Ye Xue and then rode his electric bike to Liu Lingxiu’s house, before heading to Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School with her.

When Zhang Wei woke up this morning, he found that after drinking the medicine last night and sweating constantly, his clothes and pillow were soaked in sweat.

This morning, he felt very comfortable, and his symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath, itchy throat, nasal congestion, and sore limbs had almost all vanished.

When Zhang Wei wanted to return to school to study, Liu Ying was still a bit worried and asked, “Xiaowei, why don’t you rest for another day and go back tomorrow?”

“Mom, I can’t study at home, there’s no study atmosphere here.”

Seeing that, Liu Ying had breakfast with Zhang Wei and then drove him back to the classroom at No.

3 Middle School.

As soon as Zhang Wei appeared, his four followers came over.

Li Qiang looked at him and asked, “Big Wei, are you better?”

“I’m fine now.”

Zhang Wei said.

With less than twenty days before the college entrance exam, Zhang Wei hoped to recover his state before the mock exam.

He knew that to get into a top university, ideally the same one as Su Luoluo, in the same major, in the same classroom, would give him a chance to pursue Su Luoluo.

From his followers, he had heard about Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo’s relationship in recent days.

Zhang Wei’s face filled with rage, his jealousy flaring up.

Yet, he knew he couldn’t match Ye Qiu in a fight or in connections, so he had to suppress his anger for now.

But his determination to make Ye Qiu disappear grew even stronger.

Ye Weidong had just returned to the restaurant and parked his motorcycle when he suddenly found himself surrounded by a large group of reporters.

Both he and the foreman, Ye Fugui, were taken aback, thinking the reporters were there to cover the news about Agou Six’s fall from the fifth-floor window.

Yet, this incident had happened days ago and wasn’t news anymore.

Soon enough, Ye Weidong and Ye Fugui realized the reporters weren’t there to cover the accident but to interview the two of them and the renovation workers regarding how much the fines imposed by the Urban Management Bureau and the Safety Production Supervision Bureau amounted to.
