No matter what, Ke Teng was her friend, and she had the right and obligation to visit him in the hospital often.
Upon entering the television station, after asking several staff members and confirming Ke Jingyu's current location, Jiang Nan Fang arrived at the elevator.
The elevator was descending. After waiting for over ten seconds, it reached the first floor and the doors opened.
Inside stood only one tall man with a stubbled face.
She glanced at the man, who lowered his head and didn't look at her.
Sensing the elevator doors opening, he directly stepped out.
The two brushed past each other.
Jiang Nan Fang reached the eighth floor and inquired with a staff member. Knowing the leadership was in a meeting, she sat in the waiting area to wait for Ke Jingyu.
Opposite her, two administrative female employees behind their workstations were idly discussing gossip.
One looked at the computer screen, her face full of excitement.
"Don't you think he's quite handsome? Benjamin Barton, his name is interesting too."
"It's the same name as Brad Pitt's character in that movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. And I think he looks quite like Pitt."
"I heard he's already won a championship in Switzerland, but the program hasn't aired yet. I wonder how he'll perform here."
"I'm sure if he shaved his beard and got a haircut, with his looks and physique, he could debut instantly and definitely win over a fanbase in China!"
The other, clearly close to her friend, winked and teased.
"I didn't realize, after just one meeting and a few words, you're already smitten. Aren't you a bit too eager?"
"But it's okay, these days, women can only seize love by being proactive. I support you!"
"He's not famous yet, maybe he doesn't have a girlfriend. Why don't you go after him!"
The girl who was smitten said.
"Don't say it, I actually have this idea. Since I'm going to date, why not find someone with good looks, a good figure, and a potential star?"
"Maybe if I win him over, he'll become famous, and I'll be a celebrity girlfriend too!"
Her friend nudged her shoulder. "Oh, look at you dreaming. Aren't you afraid he'll forget you as soon as he leaves?"
"If you really have this idea, you need to strike while the iron is hot. Since he hasn't gone far, call him back and say there's a slight issue with his documents. A bit of back and forth, hmm~"
"Huh? Call him back now? Will he come back?"
"Give it a try, he hasn't gone far anyway. If he comes back, maybe he's interested in you too~"
The two giggled, and the girl actually picked up her phone and dialed.
Soon, the call was answered.
She spoke in broken English to the person on the other end.
"Excuse me, there's a small issue with your documents that wasn't filled out clearly. Have you left yet? If not, could you please come back?"
Zhan Bei Jue had just exited the building and hadn't gone far.
Hearing the staff member say there was an issue with his documents, and having nothing else to do, he turned back.
The call ended, and the two girls suppressed their excitement and high-fived each other.
"Ah, he's really coming back! He's so gentle and patient! I'm finished, I think I'm falling in love!"
Jiang Nan Fang was successfully drawn in by the two girls' eccentric behavior out of curiosity.
It was because she also liked Brad Pitt.
To have the chance to see a man as handsome as him today?
She would wait and see.
The girl started to take out her mirror to reapply her makeup, fix her hair, and practice her smile.
As soon as everything was ready, the man emerged from the elevator.
The two girls exchanged glances, pretended to be serious, sat up straight, and said.
"He's here! Don't move, sit properly!"
Jiang Nan Fang couldn't help but follow their furtive glances and look in that direction.
She saw the man she had brushed past downstairs, wearing a black windbreaker, his features almost entirely obscured, walking in.
So it was him.
On such a hot day, when everyone else was wearing short sleeves, he was so fully covered. Wasn't he hot?
This was Jiang Nan Fang's first reaction upon seeing him.
Her second reaction was.
His physique was indeed good, but this kind of unkempt person was not her type.
She could only say that the girl had "eyes that recognize pearls."
Zhan Bei Jue walked up to the two girls, extended his index finger, pulled down his sunglasses, and said in fluent English.
"Excuse me, is there a problem?"
"Here, here. Sorry, could you please fill out this form again? Some parts weren't clear, and it can't be entered into the database."
The form was entirely in Chinese.
Although he spoke fluent English, he could still understand these characters, so he picked up his pen and began to write skillfully.
The girl couldn't help but feel admiration and curiosity.
"Sir, are you a foreign-born Chinese? How long have you lived in Switzerland?"
"You know so many Chinese characters, you must speak Chinese too."
Zhan Bei Jue, while writing quickly, replied expressionlessly.
"I am Asian, not Chinese. I not only know Chinese but also Japanese and Korean."
Therefore, he still wasn't sure which country he belonged to.
Because on the plane to China, he could understand Koreans and Japanese when they spoke.
So outstanding, knowing so many languages?
That girl became even more excited.
"That's amazing! So, which Asian country are you from?"
"Switzerland. The information doesn't seem to require stating ancestry. I've finished. May I leave?"
Zhan Bei Jue refused to answer the question and pushed the form back towards them.
The two girls quickly took the form and glanced at it.
In the marital status column, it was written: Married.
"You're married?"
Zhan Bei Jue raised his left hand, showing them a turquoise ring.
"Almost. I'm engaged."
After speaking, he turned to face Jiang Nan Fang's direction, put on his sunglasses, and turned to leave again.
Opposite him, Jiang Nan Fang, who had been stunned by his voice, finally reacted and shot up from her seat.
"Stop!"
Zhan Bei Jue, not realizing she was addressing him, continued towards the elevator and pressed the down button.
Jiang Nan Fang quickly walked up to him, stood beside him, and grabbed his arm.
"Zhan Bei Jue, I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"
Zhan Bei Jue turned his head, frowning at the young, beautiful, but strangely behaving woman in front of him through his sunglasses.
He gently withdrew his arm.
"Do you need something, miss?"
It was him!
Their eyes met. Although he didn't admit it, and he had disguised himself like this,
From his appearance alone, it was impossible to identify him as Zhan Bei Jue.
But this voice was absolutely irreplaceable!
Jiang Nan Fang suddenly covered her mouth with her hand.
She was too surprised.
Heaven had eyes! Zhan Bei Jue was not dead. Not only was he not dead, but he had returned before her. She was so excited she felt like she was going to faint!
However, she didn't understand why he was doing this.
After finally returning, instead of going back to Nan Cheng, he appeared here, playing a joke on her with such childish means.
Was it fun?
