Chapter 12 I Want to Eat Baozi

Ling Xuan waited in the office for the whole morning, but there was still no news from Chen Haisen. Ye Feng took the customer with an inflamed eyebrow to the Medical University for a test. Wen Tianmei went to the TV station to mediate, and Liu Xiaoting was chatting on QQ...

Hu Fan came over, had a brief encounter with Huang Yaqin, and then left in a hurry. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Ling Xuan to deal with the reporter from the morning newspaper.

Ling Xuan originally planned to take a little time during lunch to go home and see Ning Huifen and her daughter. Unexpectedly, Chen Haisen called and said, "Mr. Ling, the report about Xianying still hasn't been seen. But according to your description, I asked around, and the reporter should be Qin Weiqiang."

"Qin Weiqiang?!" Ling Xuan was both surprised and delighted. Finally, there was some clue. It was already noon. Based on Ling Xuan's understanding of the morning newspaper, the deadline for the focus news on the social page was usually 3 p.m., the international news was at 5 p.m., and the domestic major news was around 9 p.m. The latest deadline was for sports news, usually around 0 a.m. It was already 12 p.m., and the newspaper office started work at 2:30 p.m. Since the article hadn't been published by this time, the probability of it being published was very small. Knowing the reporter's name undoubtedly added an extra layer of insurance. So he said excitedly, "Are you sure the reporter is Qin Weiqiang?!"

Chen Haisen said, "At this time, would I lie to you, Mr. Ling?"

Ling Xuan said excitedly, "Then I'm really grateful."

Chen Haisen said, "It's nothing. I hope this can help you."

Ling Xuan said, "You've really helped a great deal. That's it for now. I'll call you if there's anything else."

"Okay, Mr. Ling. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Ling Xuan immediately dialed Liao Chenjuan's phone. The first time he called, the other party was on the phone. The second time, it was still in use...

After about half an hour, Ling Xuan finally got through.

"Hello, is that Sister Liao?"

"Oh. You're Xiao Ling, right!"

"Yes, Sister Liao. You have a good memory."

"Any news?"

"We've found out the reporter. His name is Qin Weiqiang."

"Qin Weiqiang?"

Ling Xuan affirmed, "Yes! That's his name. Do you know him, Sister Liao?"

Liao Chenjuan said softly, "I don't know him. But I can ask the editor of Social Focus to see if there's a manuscript about Xianying."

Ling Xuan nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. When will you ask?"

Liao Chenjuan said, "It's already time to get off work. I'll ask for you when I go to work in the afternoon."

"Thank you."

Ling Xuan hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was almost 1 p.m., and his stomach was growling. Liu Xiaoting beside him had already gone out for lunch. Ling Xuan picked up the phone and dialed Liu Xiaoting's number.

"Mr. Ling, what can I do for you?" Liu Xiaoting asked on the other end of the phone.

Ling Xuan said, "Are you having lunch now?"

Liu Xiaoting said, "Of course. Do you think I'm like you? Invincible and not hungry without eating!"

Ling Xuan smiled and said, "I'm not as you said. I'm starving now. Get me a boxed meal, bitter gourd with beef will do!"

Liu Xiaoting said, "It'll take me about half an hour to get back, though!"

Ling Xuan said, "All right. If you don't want to see a mummy when you come back, hurry up."

"Mummy?!" Liu Xiaoting was stunned.

Ling Xuan said softly, "Yes, I'll be starved into a mummy!!"

"Giggle!" Liu Xiaoting burst into hearty laughter on the other end of the phone and said, "For the future of Xianying and for the hope of all of us, I'll come back as soon as possible. The Party's task is the most important!"

Ling Xuan chatted nonsense with her for a while and then hung up the phone. He sat in front of the computer alone, browsing the day's news and logging into his QQ at the same time.

"Beep! Beep!!"

As soon as Ling Xuan logged into his QQ, there was a message. He opened the first one, which was an annoying Tencent message. Scrolling down, there were some messages from QQ groups.

The last message was actually from "Confused Zhiqiu" saying, "Baozi, I'm hungry. Let me have a bite!!"

The message clearly showed that it was sent ten minutes ago.

"I'm hungry too. Stop messing around!" Ling Xuan replied.

This "Confused Zhiqiu" was a former colleague of Jingrui Advertising. She had the same surname as Ling Xuan, named Ling Xiaoqiu. She graduated from the Chinese department of a university and also worked as a copywriter. She was good - looking and a bit delicate. After working for half a year, she couldn't stand Hu Fan's temper and left to find another job. Because they had the same surname and Ling Xuan was her supervisor, when they were working together, she always called Ling Xuan "big brother" in a coquettish voice. After leaving, she had always kept in touch with Ling Xuan and could be considered a friend.

"Beep! Beep!!" Less than a minute later, "Confused Zhiqiu" "knocked" again. This time the message was, "I just want to eat baozi and drink tea!!" The tone was full of the pure delicacy of a girl.

Ling Xuan smiled knowingly. His QQ name was "Tea - flavored Bread". It was just bread, but this "Confused Zhiqiu" liked to call him "baozi", which really made Ling Xuan laugh and cry.

"I'm a human - flesh baozi. You can't eat me." Ling Xuan replied again.

"Beep!" Confused Zhiqiu came again. This time she went even further and said, "I like human - flesh baozi the most! Let me take a bite and see..."

"^_^" Ling Xuan also laughed in his heart. After sending a frightened expression, he left a message saying, "If we meet, I'm afraid the one who gets bitten will be you!!"

"Beep" Confused Zhiqiu sent a dizzy expression and left a message saying, "So scary!! Finally showing your true colors as a lecher... Big lecher!!"

Ling Xuan sent a grinning head and said, "Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid. I just want to eat baozi!!"

Ling Xuan smiled and said, "Isn't there a McDonald's near your workplace? Go down and buy a hamburger. Consider it my treat."

"Really? You have to pay, though!!"

"When we meet next time, I will definitely pay!" Ling Xuan sent a soldier's head and said.

"Yay!!" Confused Zhiqiu sent a kissing image and then said, "I'll go buy it now. Bye!"

"Bye!"

Ling Xuan smiled.

"You seem so happy. It seems there's still some time before you become a mummy!!" Liu Xiaoting opened the door and came in, holding a lunch box in her hand. She handed it to Ling Xuan and said softly.

Ling Xuan smiled and said, "There's no way. The King of Hell doesn't accept mummies now, so I can only stay in the world for a few more days, being a walking corpse..."

"Chatting with girls on QQ, right?" Liu Xiaoting put her bag on the table, sat down, and said softly.

Ling Xuan was stunned and said, "No. I'm not interested in those immature underage girls..."

"Then it's the charming married women..."

"Wronged!" Ling Xuan shouted, "Good heavens, what kind of thinking is this of yours?"

Liu Xiaoting stared and said, "Is it strange? From your eyes and expression, I can see that you're in high spirits, completely different from your impatience and temper just now!!"

"That's right! The matter with the newspaper office is basically settled. All is well in the world!!" Ling Xuan announced loudly.

Liu Xiaoting seemed to be infected by him, but she didn't show it on her face. She said softly, "Hurry up and eat. It won't taste good when it gets cold..."

"By the way, how much is this boxed meal? I'll give it to you..."

"No need. Consider it my treat."

"This won't do! Here you are." Ling Xuan took out ten yuan from his wallet and put it on the table. Liu Xiaoting didn't take it and then turned on the computer to surf the Internet.

Ling Xuan ate while continuing to browse the sports and entertainment news...

It seemed that things had passed like this...
