Chapter 505 The Abandoned Celebrity Assistant (Passerby A) 8

I went for a run early the next morning. I've been eating a lot lately, and if I don't exercise, I'll gain weight. If I do gain weight, I'll have to take pills, which feels like a waste. It's better to exercise more.

When she got home, the puppet had already prepared breakfast. After eating breakfast, she tended to the green plants in the yard. None of them had died since she bought them last time; they were all thriving. This wasn't because Jiang Yue took great care of them, but mainly because the nutrient solution she prepared was effective. Now, some of the neighbors have come over to ask Jiang Yue for her methods.

Just as Jiang Yue finished tidying up the yard and was about to read a book, a phone call came in. Picking up the phone, she saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After answering, a male voice came from the other end: "Hello, is this Jiang Yue?"

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"

"I'm Liu Wei. Do you remember me? I was your classmate in college. Our class is planning a reunion, and I've come to invite you."

Jiang Yue thought for a moment and remembered who this Liu Wei was. It turned out that he was Jiang Yue's class monitor in college. She still remembered him from the original owner's memories. The original owner had a crush on him before, or rather, she had a slight crush, but not much. She was mainly busy working to earn her living expenses and didn't have time to date.

In my memory, this class monitor was quite responsible. He even helped Jiang Yue apply for financial aid for impoverished students a few times. I don't remember anything else. As I always say, the original owner of this body was too busy and didn't have time to pay attention to things in the class. Jiang Yue never participated in the school's team building activities. I don't know why she was suddenly invited this time.

"Oh, it's the class monitor. What's the purpose of this gathering? Where is it being held?"

"Oh dear, our homeroom teacher, Mr. Qian, has cancer. This gathering is to invite everyone to visit him. It's being held in Beijing so it's convenient to see him."

"What? Teacher Qian is only in his forties, right? He suddenly got cancer. Is there any cure?"

"I don't know the specifics yet. I found information about Waterdrop Crowdfunding in Teacher Qian's WeChat Moments. The idea behind this gathering was to ask everyone to lend a hand, but it wasn't mandatory to donate. Those who were able could donate a little, and those who weren't were not forced to. It would be good to visit him and offer some comfort."

"Okay, when are we going? Have you decided on a specific time?"

"Jiang Yue, I remember your situation isn't very good, and you haven't been working for very long. Just buy some fruit then, that's the thought that counts."

"I know I won't pretend to be something I'm not."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to check the specific situation. After receiving the report, Jiang Yue looked at it and found that it was incurable with current medical technology. However, after the surgery, he might live for a few more years, probably until the country developed the medical pod. As for Jiang Yue curing him, she had no such idea. If they were close and the person hadn't discovered it yet, Jiang Yue could secretly treat him.

In cases like this, where someone is hospitalized, a sudden cure would require several episodes of science fiction. In previous worlds, after receiving a huge gift, medical pods and special drugs were developed within a few years. This world will probably be similar, and we should still be able to wait until the day of cure.

All Jiang Yue can do now is donate some money to him. She doesn't really trust these fundraising platforms, so she'll just give it to him directly when she gets to the hospital. Jiang Yue has no ulterior motives about donating money; the money is clean and transparent, and she's not ashamed of it. Why would she be afraid of people knowing she's doing a good deed?

Jiang Yue woke up early on the 20th.

Bianbian watched Jiang Yue get dressed and thought they were going out to play, so she picked up the rope herself. Jiang Yue bent down, patted her head, and said to her, "Mommy has to go out for a bit today. How about Aunt Sun takes you out to play?"

"Waaah~"

Seeing that the dog was reluctant, Jiang Yue coaxed her for a long time. Finally, Jiang Yue said that she would have extra food today, and the dog was happy to get up. Jiang Yue did not expose her little thoughts, thinking that she could not see through them and was just spoiling her.

Because she was going to the hospital to visit a patient, and the appointment was at 2 pm, she also needed to pick up some people at the station, since many of them were coming from out of town. The organizer, Liu Wei, said that whoever had a car could come and pick them up, so that they could save some money on transportation.

After arriving at the station, Jiang Yue parked the car at the agreed-upon location, then went to a milk tea shop and bought a few cups of milk tea. Drinking an iced milk tea on such a hot day was incredibly refreshing. When it was almost time, Jiang Yue put the sign on the car, took a picture, and posted it in the group chat, so they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find her.

"Jiang Yue?"

"Zhao Lili! Get in the car first."

"Oh my, it really is you! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else. You've changed so much in the year since graduation, you've become more and more beautiful."

"Haha, you too."

After the other person got on the bus, the two started chatting. In fact, the two were complete strangers, but adults need to maintain a semblance of social interaction, even though they had barely spoken a few words to each other during their school years.

Half an hour later, the three people Jiang Yue had picked up arrived. After sending a message in the group chat, they headed towards the school. The plan was to meet at the school and then go to the hospital together. Liu Wei had already explained the situation to everyone in the past few days, and those who could come were prepared to lend a helping hand.

It's also because the homeroom teacher and students have a good relationship; otherwise, even though graduation is approaching, it's unlikely anyone would come. Moreover, the donation was announced in advance. Jiang Yue's class has a total of 40 students, which is considered a relatively large class. Fifteen students came this time. Some couldn't come because they couldn't get leave from work, but they gave the money to the class monitor to pass on.

They were all classmates, and although they hadn't been in touch for over a year since graduation and were a bit estranged, they quickly became familiar with each other as they chatted. They were all curious about what Jiang Yue was doing now. The last time they heard about her was when she was trending on Douyin for reporting her boss. Jiang Yue briefly talked about her work in self-media, and then asked what they were doing, thus changing the subject.

When we rejoined the main group at school, everyone had changed quite a bit in the year since graduation. In short, the class spirit had become much stronger. Most of them were working, and there wasn't a single entrepreneurial tycoon among them; they were all just ordinary people.

After exchanging pleasantries at the school gate, they went to the hospital together. Upon arrival, Liu Wei led everyone to Teacher Qian's ward. Teacher Qian looked very haggard in his hospital bed. His wife and children were with him, their faces filled with worry. However, when they saw the students visiting him, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Everyone came forward to greet him, offering the flowers and fruit they had bought. After chatting for a while, seeing that Teacher Qian was exhausted, they prepared to leave. Before leaving, everyone handed over donation envelopes, and Jiang Yue also handed over the money she had prepared to Teacher Qian's wife. Teacher Qian's wife burst into tears upon seeing this and quickly bowed to everyone to express her gratitude.

After leaving the hospital, everyone suggested going to visit their old classroom one last time. The classroom had changed beyond recognition. They ate a meal in the afternoon, but hardly any alcohol was consumed, as some people had to rush home that night.

There were no competitive moments during the meal; we just chatted casually. After the meal, everyone said goodbye and went their separate ways.
