Chapter 131: Rain Man (Part 2) Iii (1/2)

I arrived at the foot of the mountain early but I did not board the bus.

When I saw Xiaoyu about to go up, I went over to let her know that I had something to settle and will be late.

I waited for the reporter. After two phone calls, a female reporter with thick-rimmed gla.s.ses arrived.

We started chatting until the bus came back.

I walked over to the driver and made a request, which he agreed to since there weren't many visitors anyway. He sent us up immediately, saving us some time.

Xiaoyu was waiting at the same place for me when we reached the top. I waved and had the reporter wait for me while I ran over to Xiaoyu to pa.s.s my phone and portable charger to her.

She took them and started her routine.

I then went back to the reporter and brought her into the inst.i.tution.

”You can start the interview now,” I said.

”But I've already finished asking you what I had planned to earlier. I just need to find a few of your colleagues to review your performance now,” she replied.

A familiar looking doctor from not far away sidled up to us, smiling. ”Why? Do you need an interviewee?”

It was the doctor I pa.s.sed on the queue on my first day.

”Yeah, please help me, brother,” I pleaded.

In reality, I had started talking about my predicament in the canteen a few days back. Almost all of the doctors and nurses were very willing to put in a few good words for me on the day of my the interview.

This doctor was one of them so I felt relieved.

”Hi, please introduce yourself,” the reporter started.

”I'm the doctor-in-charge here. You can call me Chalk,” he said.

”Nice to meet you, Doctor Chalk. Could you please share your opinion on Luqiao's voluntary service? And could you two stand closer? I'll need a photograph,” the reporter requested and held up the camera that was slung over her neck.

The doctor smiled at me, saying, ”It's pretty great to have a university student to help out here. He gets to experience how it's like to volunteer and also enrich his life outside of school.... blah blah... so on and so on.. . but anyway, it's a win-win situation, so I hope more university students will join us as a way of enhancing their view of the world and contributing back to society.”

I was taken aback by his seemingly rehea.r.s.ed speech.

He whispered into my ear, ”I prepared it with much effort. I was an announcer at university.”

”Impressive.” I grinned.

”Hmm, Ms. Reporter, I can say more if you need. Don't you need a video recording? What program is this? Do you wanna start recording? I can repeat myself,” the doctor offered hurriedly.

I could feel my brows knit together. He just wanted to appear on television.

”That's enough, thank you. I already have a rough idea. We're doing this for a newspaper and not TV so it's alright. Thank you so much, though, ” the reporter replied evasively.

”So it's done?” I asked, smiling.

”Come out with me for a bit and tell me the way as well.”

”Alright.” I escorted her outside.

She looked at the information she had gathered and said, ”Not bad. I have a few more places to go so this is alright for now. I'll supplement it if needed. Thanks for providing a decent piece of news. I will contact you again soon.”

”You can wait for the bus over there. It comes every half an hour. Uhm, I want to ask... can I come to you if I have an even better piece of news?” I asked.

She raised her brows slightly. ”Why? Any shocking news about this inst.i.tution?”
