Chapter Eighty-Three: Old Five Has Arrived

  Yang Cai put in so much effort, but her goal was not actually to publicize the news; as a top-notch foodie and a fighter among foodies, she deeply understood that people like Zhou Yi, who is considered a "contemporary hermit", are often eccentric, and if she messed up, she would offend this big shot, and in the future, she wouldn't even be able to get radish greens, let alone heavenly radishes.

  Moreover, this time she was sent by her own gluttony and Mr. Gu's expectations, not the newspaper; Yang Cai's requirements were actually not high, just hoping that Zhou Yi could nod, so that she could eat radish every day, which was enough!

  "Such a request shouldn't be excessive, should it?"

  Yang Cai looked at herself in the mirror, suddenly feeling a bit wronged. The proud flower of the culinary world, how many famous chefs had to give her face, this time she actually ran into the mountains for a radish, and was so anxious...

  However, she had to admit that after having some understanding of Zhou Yi, her original reliance on her identity had become a fart. Others in the mountains have wind and rain at will, living in villas of several thousand square meters, how can this be an ordinary person? If they really don't care about her, what can she do?

  She was very clear that with someone like Zhou Yi, you either become friends or don't bother. What she needed to do first was forget her identity as a reporter and then find an opportunity to get close to Zhou Yi. With kind intentions, she could achieve good results. If she approached him with the mindset of a reporter looking for news, she would definitely hit a snag.

  In the mountains, there is something different from the city. Even if the village is big and has a large population, everyone knows each other. Occasionally, an outsider comes, but if this outsider stays for too long, it will arouse suspicion. Yang Cai wandered around in the mountains for half a day, even running to Zhou Yi's fields and villas to take a look, instantly triggering the villagers' high alertness. What is this pretty girl who looks somewhat familiar doing? It doesn't seem like she's here for sightseeing either, and she's been asking about Dr. Zhou everywhere. Could she be Dr. Zhou's lover from the city?

  The long table banquet had already passed for a long time, and that day there were many people, and the mountain people looked at women, more than half of whom looked at their buttocks, so they all felt familiar with Yang Cai, but didn't recognize her as the judge on the day of the banquet.

  Later, someone still informed Er Kuai Zi. On that day, Er Kuai Zi had circled around Yang Cai several times, his eyes were straight, so he recognized her at a glance.

  Since he got engaged with Wei Shufen, Er Lai Zi has become much more stable. When he saw that female judge again, he ran back home to inform Li Yuanfang.

  When Comrade Yuan Fang arrived, Yang Cai finally understood why the revolution had started in the countryside. To say nothing of other things, just the speed at which this intelligence was discovered and transmitted - that's something that couldn't be achieved even with horseback riding in the city.

  "Haha, isn't this Judge Yang? This time you have personally come to our village, I wonder if there's any guidance?"

  Li Yuanfang glanced at Yang Cai, who was standing in front of Zhou Yi's villa, and said with a rare tone of pretentiousness: "After all, I'm also a secretary, how can I let the flower girl from the city look down on me?"

  "Jade toes arrive in person?"

  Yang Cai couldn't help but lower her head and take a glance at the soft leather ankle boots on her feet, feeling a bit embarrassed, not expecting to run into literature enthusiasts again.

  "Is it Secretary Li? Hello." Although she wanted to laugh in her heart, Yang Cai's face was serious and solemn. She shook hands with Li Yuanfang and said: "That's right, Secretary Li. I've recently come up with a topic that reflects the living problems of the elderly in rural mountainous areas. I heard that the Yunshui Nursing Home under your leadership is doing well, so I came to take a look and want to write an article to promote it..."

  "Oh, want to publicize our nursing home?" Li Yuanfang was taken aback.

  "That's right, I've already thought of the title for the article, let's just call it... 'That Sunset Glow' What do you think, Secretary Li?" Yang Cai smiled and looked at Li Yuanfang, although she didn't understand the person in front of her, but she knew he was the village's emperor and also the director of Yunshui Respectful Nursing Home. With these two points, she dared to confirm that Li Yuanfang would not be able to resist her temptation.

  "Great, really great, you're indeed a great reporter, so poetic...” Li Yuanfang nodded repeatedly, her heart blooming with joy; it's as if she wished for something and it came true, she was worried that the reputation of the nursing home wasn't enough to report back to Xiang Jiang, but now the big reporter from the provincial newspaper has come to her doorstep, isn't this like having a pie fall from the sky?

  "Chief Yang, we will fully support you, whatever you need just speak up!" Li Yuanfang was overjoyed and didn't think about how a food reporter like Yang Cai would care about the nursing home, and even ran to Zhou Yi's villa, calling him "Chief Editor" with such familiarity.

  "Really?" Yang Cai had been waiting for this sentence, and smiled at him with a sly look: "Secretary Li, you know that we journalists must have life experience when writing articles, so I may need to stay in the nursing home for a while. As for food and accommodation, I don't know if it's easy to solve... If there's any difficulty..."

  "No difficulty, no difficulty..." Li Yuanfang hurriedly said: "You, such a big editor, come to our place to experience life, that is the honor of our Yunshui Village, how can there be any difficulties? Don't worry, I'll arrange a separate courtyard for you in the nursing home, and also ask Master Hong to specially cook for you, okay?"

  "Alright then, thank you Secretary Li." Yang Cai smiled lightly, leaving Li Yuanfang somewhat dazed. This woman was charming... and had a thousand different charms...

  ***

  When Yang Cai successfully infiltrated the Yunshui Nursing Home by throwing a large pie, Zhou Yi was still living a carefree life in Chudu, tidying up his house in the neighborhood, occasionally disturbing Zhu Xiaohua and his wife, waiting for the arrival of Lao Wu Zuo's couple, while also avoiding the enthusiastic young women and widows in the Yunshui mountain area, first to chill their hearts.

  Now it's deeply felt that being a man is hard, being a famous man is harder, and being a single famous man is even more difficult.

  Three days later, Zhou Yi and Zhu Xiaohua received a call from Guan Wei. Lao Wu and his wife had already arrived in Fen Nan and would be taking the same flight to Chu Du; The two were excited, having seen Guan Wei just recently, but it had been three or four years since they last saw Lao Wu, who had found an old lady and was living in Xinjiapo. Since none of them made it to his wedding, they had to make up for it this time.

  At 2:30 in the afternoon, Chu Du started to rain warmly, and the sky also became darker. It seemed like there was going to be an early snowfall. Zhu Xiaohua and his wife, Zhou Yi, arrived at the airport early and waited eagerly for over twenty minutes before Guan Wei and Lao Wu Zhi came out...

  "My god, is that really Old Five's wife? She's stunning! No wonder they say mixed-blood kids are beautiful..."

  Zhu Xiaohua's eyes were extremely poisonous, and with just one glance, she discovered the "flower" that belonged to Zuo Zhu. She suddenly let out a cry of surprise...

  My sister encountered some annoying things and I helped her deal with them, so I'm updating late, sorry about that.
