Chapter 453: After Modification: Chapter 453 Beautiful Reporter
The girl smiled and said, “My name is Lin Wan, a reporter from the TV station. I once interviewed in your village…”
Zhang Dadan remembered instantly and said without hesitation, “Yes! It was you, you interviewed the meat Ganoderma in our village!”
Lin Wan’s face immediately turned red with embarrassment at the mention of meat Ganoderma, and she lowered her head, silent.
“Uh… sorry… I… I didn’t mean it…” Zhang Dadan realized he had misspoken and quickly explained.
The cameraman who accompanied Lin Wan was newly assigned to her team and was unaware of the past events.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere after Zhang Dadan mentioned meat Ganoderma, he asked in confusion, “Little Lin, what meat Ganoderma? Why don’t I remember it?”
“Brother Liu, that news… that news didn’t… didn’t air…” Lin Wan responded in a low voice.
Lin Wan’s first assignment as a reporter was to Anping Village to cover the meat Ganoderma incident.
But that meat Ganoderma turned out to be a sex toy, and her serious interview became her first disgrace as a reporter.
Fortunately, with Zhang Dadan’s guidance, she avoided making a fool of herself in front of the entire county, and she kept his kindness in her heart.
Now, so much time had passed, and Zhang Dadan still remembered her, which made her feel a bit touched and excited. It seemed she still had some charm!
However, what she did not expect was that Zhang Dadan not only remembered her but also hadn’t forgotten that embarrassing incident. He even exposed it in front of everyone, making her feel very uneasy.
Even though Zhang Dadan was a straightforward guy, he noticed Lin Wan’s embarrassment and immediately changed the subject, “Let’s not bring up the past. What are you doing in Stone Town?”
Seeing him change the topic, Lin Wan quickly replied, “Uh! We heard there are rumors of ghosts in the town, so we came to cover it.”
Her flustered appearance confused the cameraman Liu even more, making him curious. There must be some secret he didn’t know here; he would have to find out later.
“By the way, Boss Zhou, you said you encountered a ghost last night?” The cameraman suddenly interrupted Zhang Dadan and Lin Wan and asked Zhou Yong.
Zhou Yong, hearing they were reporters, became inexplicably nervous and stammered:
“Y-yes! Last night… we went to that place and… encountered a ghost!”
Brother Liu had a playful look on his face and, scrutinizing the two, said with a smile, “Ghosts? Those are just local superstitions. How could there really be ghosts?”
Seeing his blunt skepticism, Zhang Dadan quickly chimed in, “Whether there are ghosts or not, why don’t you go check it out tonight? That would clear things up.”
Although Brother Liu was over thirty, he was still single and had always coveted Lin Wan’s beauty. He had pressured the leadership to assign him to her team.
They had been out for over a day, and despite his frequent attentions, Lin Wan kept her distance, causing him much frustration.
And just at this time, Zhang Dadan appeared and was flirting with Lin Wan, and they seemed to have a hidden secret.
Being a jealous man, Brother Liu immediately saw Zhang Dadan as a rival and naturally wanted to show his masculinity in the face of his taunts.
“Sure, we’ll go! But we don’t want some people to be scared out of their wits!” Brother Liu retorted.
Lin Wan, being very smart, could easily tell Brother Liu had feelings for her. Despite her efforts to avoid him, the leadership still paired them up.
This already made her troubled, and now Brother Liu was being impulsive and openly conflicting with their interview subjects, making her even more awkward.
Lin Wan sighed and advised, “Brother Liu, we’re here to do an interview. We need to remain objective!”
Brother Liu quickly softened and said, “Uh? Wanwan, you’re right! I got a bit worked up, really sorry!”
Zhou Yong and Zhang Dadan, seeing this, looked at each other and secretly mocked, you acted so tough just now, how come you caved in so quickly?
Zhang Dadan didn’t want to get entangled with the two any further, and said, “Journalist Lin, you heard it just now, tonight there will be a mage to catch the ghost, you can conduct an on-site interview then!”
“Oh, come on! You’ve witnessed it personally, just give me a brief introduction!” Lin Wan requested, pouting slightly, looking cute and aggrieved, making it hard to refuse.
Seeing this, Zhou Yong’s heart was stirred and he said, “Dadan, why don’t we help them out? She seems to have a hard time!”
Feeling left out, Brother Liu, seeing Zhou Yong’s fascination, felt even more jealous and urged Lin Wan, “Wanwan, since there’s a mage catching the ghost tonight, we’ll have all the material we need. Why humiliate yourself?”
Lin Wan couldn’t take it anymore and angrily retorted, “Brother Liu! I’m a reporter and have my own interview process, stop interfering, alright?”
“Alright… alright… alright… Wanwan, I was wrong… I was wrong… you continue!” Brother Liu conceded again.
Zhang Dadan sensed Brother Liu’s hostility and didn’t want more trouble, so he apologized, “I have to go to the county. If you need an interview, talk to Zhou Yong!”
With that, he got up to leave the store, and the lovestruck Zhou Yong suddenly remembered his own business and quickly followed.
As Zhou Yong caught up to Zhang Dadan, he turned back to smile apologetically at Lin Wan and explained, “I also have important things in the county. How about we talk when I get back?”
Before Lin Wan could respond, Zhang Dadan pulled him out of Jiji, and once on the street, Zhang Dadan asked, “What are you going to the county for?”
“To sign a contract! I’ve already negotiated with the owner, going to sign the lease contract today!” Zhou Yong replied earnestly.
Seeing him so nonchalant, Zhang Dadan really wanted to punch him. Signing such an important contract, and you forgot about it?
If I hadn’t said I was going, you would probably be chatting with Lin Wan forever, right?
“By the way! What are you going to the town for? Meeting Bai Jie? She hasn’t been here for a while!” Zhou Yong teased with slight disappointment.
Bai Jie? Although he saw her just a few days ago, he hadn’t talked much. She seemed to realize he was distancing himself from her.
Zhou Yong eagerly awaited Zhang Dadan’s response, but seeing him silent he cursed, “What are you thinking? I’m talking to you!”
“Alright! Cut the crap! Can you focus on serious matters? If it weren’t for me, you’d mess up because of your lust!” Zhang Dadan scolded.
Having known him for so long, Zhou Yong knew Zhang Dadan well and understood he was trying to change the topic.
Something must have happened between him and Bai Jie, did Zhang Dadan offend her while being forceful?
As Zhang Dadan’s close friend, Zhou Yong felt obliged to teach him how to handle relationships with women properly. Clearing his throat, he said seriously:
“Dadan, you need patience in a relationship! Even though you really want to get laid, you should consider her feelings. You can’t just leave after you’re done; she must feel…”
