Chapter 20 A Heartless Nursing Home?



The director and cameraman, who originally wanted to film a heartwarming scene of colleagues helping each other, were now unsure whether to stay or leave, feeling that their logic had been bullied by He Qinqin's words.

This isn't the first time He Qinqin has made such a confusing statement, and this time the CP fans are doing their best to defend her.

He Qinqin is very kind to her boyfriend's family. I wish my girlfriend were that understanding.

If your girlfriend were like He Qinqin, she would definitely complain that your apartment, which is less than 100 square meters, is too small.

I thought it was the car rental company causing trouble; you really should pay for the damage.

[But the car only had a small scratch, it shouldn't warrant a 2000 yuan deduction, right?]

The next second, He Qinqin's self-righteous voice rang out in the live broadcast room: "It's just a Mercedes, isn't it? It's not even as expensive as my car."

He Qinqin became increasingly angry as she spoke: "I think that car rental guy was just trying to scam me because I'm a celebrity and have money."

That's it, there's nothing left to wash.

[The aunt and uncle rented a Mercedes worth nearly a million yuan to pick up the boyfriend at 4 a.m. They can tolerate the unruly child, yet they show absolutely no respect to the older brother, Si Jin, and the assistant who brought his shoes?]

[Family, I think He Qinqin is acting strange. I'm running away now. I'm not drinking this porridge CP anymore.]

Some rational CP fans and regular fans started to leave, but this was only a small number, because He Qinqin's followers were all people who felt sorry for her because of the revelations, and they had preconceived notions and biases.

At this moment, Lin Ce, who was eloquent in the debate, was rendered speechless by He Qinqin. He felt that his brain CPU had been burned dry by He Qinqin's words.

Lin Ce really hated that he had a mouth under his nose!

Fortunately, a phone call that suddenly rang at that moment saved Lin Ce.

Lin Ce quickly answered the phone, and before the other person could speak, he hurriedly said, "Senior Zhang, I'll be right there!"

"Xiao He, I have to go out on a field assignment now, bye-bye~"

Lin Ce disappeared into the office area in a flash.

He Qinqin pouted, clearly unhappy because she didn't get the answer she wanted from Lin Ce.

"Ding-dong."

Just then, a message notification sounded. He Qinqin glanced down at the message, and the unhappiness on her face vanished instantly.

Shiyao has completed his onboarding procedures!

He Qinqin immediately stood up from her workstation and ran out like a happy little bird.

The other four reporters were busy with their reporting assignments for the first week.

The following morning, after the morning meeting, the live broadcast included footage of Gao Huanrong filming the previous afternoon.

To avoid inconveniencing reporters during their undercover investigations, the footage recorded by reporters and guests during their undercover work will be edited and inserted into the broadcast at appropriate times.

The footage showed Gao Huanrong from Rongguang TV driving from downtown Haicheng to a nursing home in a small county town on Tuesday afternoon.

After parking her car in a secluded spot, she put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Netizens' first impression of Gao Huanrong was that she was a sharp-tongued rich girl, and many people didn't buy it when the live broadcast camera switched to her.

[Did Gao Huanrong pay for this? This spoiled rich girl only has a good reputation as a reporter; giving her screen time is a waste of resources.]

Gao Huanrong is quite pretty; it would be better if she weren't so sharp-tongued.

At this point, some people also noticed something strange.

[Gao Huanrong seems to have a very expensive aura and dresses well, so why does she drive a car worth over 100,000 yuan?]

Gao Huanrong explained the specific situation of her Laizhijia Nursing Home to the camera: "I believe that when you browse Douyin short videos, you can occasionally see elderly people with serious illnesses or disabilities doing live-streaming sales."

[I often see videos online at night showing elderly people sitting there silently holding up signs that say "Self-service ordering," and many netizens buy their food out of sympathy.]

Yes, and these elderly people all have very kind faces, resembling deceased elders in our families. They sell daily necessities or snacks, and their sales are quite high.

"I came to Ankang Nursing Home today because I received a message from a whistleblower who said that while watching a live stream, he saw an elderly man selling goods who looked very much like his father who lives in the county town."

As Gao Huanrong changed out of her Chanel-style jacket, she explained, "This person works in Haicheng and has no time to take care of his father, so he sent him to live in the Ankang Nursing Home in the county town."

"Therefore, the person involved now suspects that the nursing home forced his father, who suffers from an illness, to appear on camera to play the victim and gain sympathy from netizens in order to make a profit."

Gao Huanrong changed into a set of old-looking sportswear, tied her hair in a low ponytail, and carried a canvas bag, instantly making her look simple and low-key.

Gao Huanrong adjusted her black-rimmed glasses: "I came to this nursing home today to volunteer and also to check out the situation."

The contrast between the before and after costume change immediately heightened the audience's anticipation.

Wow, this feels like watching a spy movie!

I got nervous just watching it on screen.

The black-rimmed glasses that Gao Huanrong is wearing are not just decorative glasses, but high-tech ones—the new smart camera glasses from Leipeng Glasses.

To prepare for the possibility of hidden cameras being discovered, the recordings are kept as backups.

This Ankang Nursing Home is not large in scale; it looks more like a converted low-rise bungalow in a small town.

Upon entering, you'll find the reception area, where seven or eight elderly people are sitting on small stools watching television.

The TV is showing a skit by Mr. Benshan.

The elderly people ate sunflower seeds and peanuts, bursting into laughter from time to time.

The warm yellow light shone on the smiling faces of the elderly, making even the wrinkles on their faces seem to hide happiness.

This scene looks especially heartwarming.

Gao Huanrong was quite engrossed in watching.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Because the caregiver appeared somewhat burly...

It blocked Gao Huanrong's view.

Gao Huanrong explained to the caregiver that she had made an appointment to volunteer today.

The receptionist gave Gao Huanrong a red vest with the words "Ankang Nursing Home" printed on it and immediately assigned her tasks.

"Go and sweep up the fallen leaves in the yard first," the caregiver instructed. "Wait until these people finish watching TV and go for a walk. Also, sweep up the peanut and melon seed shells in the living room."

Seeing this, netizens thought Gao Huanrong would refuse to do any work, but unexpectedly, Gao Huanrong just quietly put on a vest, picked up a broom, and went to the backyard.

While sweeping the backyard, Gao Huanrong didn't slack off but actually swept the fallen leaves, while observing the situation of the nursing home.

It's not yet 2:30, and Gao Huanrong's volunteer service hours are from 2 pm to 6:30 pm.

According to the person involved, he came across the live stream at 12:30 am.

I need to figure out a way to stay in this nursing home until late at night and see if anything unusual comes to light.

She wanted to use this time to familiarize herself with the terrain so she could hide.
