Seeing that Zhang Qingsong had not yet returned, the female reporter immediately picked up her phone and dialed his number.
However, after several attempts, the phone rang for a very long time.
They discovered that the other party did not answer the phone.
"Could it be that the station director went back on business?" the female reporter guessed.
It was now 1 p.m.
The students had already gone to lunch and returned to their dormitories to rest.
With the sun shining brightly, the weather was extremely hot.
It makes you not want to linger on the roadside any longer; you just want to go back and enjoy the air conditioning.
There was practically no one on the roadside.
Therefore, it's not really appropriate to continue the interview.
The photographer standing nearby had already gotten sunburned and his skin was red.
It's very hot.
The originally white shirt was already soaked with sweat, looking quite pitiful.
The female reporter was somewhat relieved that she had applied a thick layer of sunscreen before going out today, otherwise she probably would have turned into a dark-skinned girl by the time she got home tonight.
"Gurgle, gurgle."
After more than an hour of interviewing, the two were practically starving.
They had originally planned to wait for the station director, Zhang Qingsong, to come back so they could have dinner together, but since they couldn't get through on the phone, they had no choice but to go ahead on their own.
"Why don't we go eat first? Let's go to the place where we had boxed lunches yesterday," the female reporter suddenly suggested.
In this kind of weather, the two of them worked for so long.
Although it didn't achieve any significant results, it still deserves credit for its hard work.
Upon hearing this, the photographer's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
He had wanted to go for a long time, but due to work pressure, he didn't dare to express his true feelings.
We can't get in touch with the station director now. At this hour, it's not unreasonable to go get a boxed lunch, is it?
"Alright, let's get going quickly. We need to finish this quickly today." They absolutely cannot repeat yesterday's mistake of only eating one serving.
People say drinking leads to trouble, but they're the ones who make trouble by eating takeout.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or they'll pack up and leave again." The female reporter was getting anxious as it was past lunchtime.
The two were determined to leave, so they quickly packed up their equipment and rushed towards the location of the Original Heart Kitchen.
The two walked faster and faster, especially the female reporter, who seemed unaffected despite wearing seven or eight centimeter high heels.
She even walked faster than the male photographer.
Not long after, the two arrived at the Original Kitchen.
Seeing that there was no one queuing in front of the shop, the two hurriedly went up to ask.
"Hello, do you still have any boxed meals left?" The female reporter asked anxiously, worried that if they were sold out, she would have to find somewhere else to eat.
Other places are not only far away, but the food is also not good. The weather is already quite hot today, and she has no appetite for food anywhere else except here.
Lu Rong, who was just about to pack up and go home to rest, saw that it was the two TV station staff who had come yesterday and immediately said, "Why are you so late? I was just about to pack up."
The female reporter apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, could you make an exception and get me a boxed lunch? I was too busy with work to come on time."
The male photographer watched pitifully from the side.
Lu Rong originally wanted to go back, but seeing that they were sweating profusely and hadn't eaten yet, he decided to cook them another meal.
Pointing to the remaining eggs and leftover rice in the kitchen, she slowly said, "I don't have much left. If you don't mind, I'll make you two servings of fried rice, since everything else is sold out."
The two had never tried Lu Rong's fried rice before, but considering how delicious the food was, they agreed without hesitation.
“Sure, anything is fine, as long as it’s done by you.” The photographer couldn’t wait.
Lu Rong nodded and pointed to the dining table not far away, saying:
"There are tables over there, you can sit there for a few minutes."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
Once they were certain they could buy boxed meals, the two finally put their worries to rest.
I went to the dining table next to me and chose a relatively spacious spot to sit down.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a thunderous snoring sound.
"Who's snoring here?" the female reporter asked, turning her head in confusion.
I noticed a chubby middle-aged man slumped over the table next to me.
Because he was sleeping face down, they hadn't noticed him earlier.
He looked very tired and fell asleep with his face on the table.
The photographer took a closer look and realized that the man was fat and had a few hairs on his head. Wasn't this their station director, Zhang Qingsong?
After all that, it turns out he came here to take a nap.
No wonder no one answered his phone.
Seeing this, the female reporter and photographer were both angry and helpless.
The two of them were out in the scorching sun, trying to complete today's filming task, but the station director, who claimed he was there to give guidance, ended up sleeping here.
But there was nothing they could do, since the other party was their leader. Even if they were extremely dissatisfied, they dared not show it in front of him.
Seemingly noticing a commotion around him, Zhang Qingsong, who had been snoring, suddenly stopped snoring.
Then she woke up.
He groggily raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and found his two subordinates sitting in front of him.
His mind immediately cleared, and he did a complete 180-degree turn, adopting his usual leadership demeanor.
"You're here too. I was just about to call you over, but I was working too late last night and I'm so tired today that I fell asleep without realizing it."
