After being tormented by a series of things, including being rushed to finish her manuscript, workplace isolation, doing housework, and overcoming the aftereffects, He Qinqin finally made it to Thursday.
On Thursday morning, she brought a pink thermos to the company, which contained pumpkin and millet porridge.
Today, she only needs to stay at the company for half a day, and then she can go to the Mindful Beauty Kindergarten to volunteer and show her love and care for the children.
They can use the excuse of reporting on extramarital affairs to slack off and even gain a good reputation.
Thinking of this, He Qinqin felt a surge of joy.
She used the excuse of going to the restroom to find her photographer boyfriend, Shi Yao, and planned to have some intimate time with him in the break room.
When He Qinqin arrived at the floor where the photographers worked, she saw Shi Yao struggling to carry equipment. The photographers and editors chatting nearby seemed not to see him and did not offer any help.
He Qinqin rolled her eyes and tugged at one of the editors' sleeves. "Hey, you guys go help out! Can't you see Shi Yao is having a hard time carrying things all by himself? Don't you have eyes?"
She remembered that when she came to see Shi Yao before, he never had to do such heavy work.
The editor, who had been scolded by He Qinqin, impatiently shook off her hand: "The equipment is supposed to be rotated, and it's his turn today."
"Besides, what business is it of yours? You live by the sea, why are you meddling in other people's affairs?"
The photographer next to him had previously worked with He Qinqin and suffered greatly as a result.
"He Qinqin, you still think you have someone backing you up? Instead of worrying about your boyfriend, you should be more concerned about how long a nobody like you can stay at the station."
He Qinqin remembered the arrangements for this afternoon and held back her anger. Humph, once she returned to the Si family, these people would all be given a hard time.
"ah--"
Shi Yao had just put down his equipment when he looked up and accidentally bumped into a pole on the equipment, causing his forehead to visibly swell.
He Qinqin's heart ached terribly. She quickly went over, covered Shi Yao's forehead, and rubbed it for him. "Shi Yao—"
He Qinqin felt extremely distressed, "How could you do such rough work?"
"Qinqin, what brings you here?"
Shi Yao turned his face away: "I don't want you to see me in such a disheveled state. You should go back now."
"It's nothing for me to suffer a little for you and for the family."
"I don't want to, I don't want you to suffer."
He Qinqin touched Shi Yao's forehead with pity.
"If we support each other and never abandon each other, we will surely be able to live a better life."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yao forcefully cornered He Qinqin against the wall in what he thought was a cool pose in the equipment room, saying, "I don't need your help. From now on, I'll take care of you."
Meanwhile, the photographer and editor, who were secretly observing from the doorway of the equipment room, were inexplicably shocked by this seemingly perfect couple who were constantly making outrageous and dramatic scenes.
"No, is this some kind of idol drama? Is this a TV station? Or have we wandered onto the wrong set?"
The photographer took out his phone, recorded a video, and sent it to the head of the film and television editing department: "Boss, someone is taking a paid break from work to date, and it's affecting the work of their colleagues."
Li Hai, the head of the film and television department, was having tea with some high-ranking officials from the station who came down for an inspection when he received a video call and almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
The lounge office where Li Hai entertained high-ranking officials was right next to the equipment room.
Just as Li Hai messaged the enthusiastic photographer, urging him to quickly send this seemingly perfect couple away—
The high-ranking leader opposite him suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and flexed his biceps.
"I used to work in the film and television editing department for a while, and I even carried a camera."
"It's been so many years since I've been back, I've started to miss the feeling of carrying a camera."
Li Hai's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although the senior leader was old, he was still quite agile and quickly walked to the office door.
As he turned toward the equipment room next door, he said, "I heard that a new batch of photography equipment has arrived. As an old hand, I'm here to check it out and see if it suits my needs."
Li Hai dashed out like an arrow released from a bow, but it was too late!
The photographer and editor, who had been secretly observing from the door of the equipment room, saw that the atmosphere inside was becoming increasingly tense and felt embarrassed to continue trying to open the door, so they left to avoid suspicion.
So at that moment, no one could stop the top leader from pushing open the equipment room door—
"ah--"
"What kind of behavior is this?!"
After the senior leader pushed open the door, he saw a man and a woman in the equipment room and roared angrily.
Li Hai's face was ashen.
While Shi Yao and He Qinqin were feeling sorry for each other, they were spotted by a high-ranking official who happened to be passing by for inspection, and were severely scolded by the official.
"You are human beings, not animals. You should control your basic instincts!"
"This is a TV station! You guys are actually filming a TV drama here?!"
The senior leader, who was angrily criticizing the two, looked at them with disdain and uttered a classic line that would later become widely known throughout the company.
The scene of the senior leader angrily rebuking the young couple who were having an affair at work was not only witnessed by the passing employees, but also became a topic of conversation in various company groups.
Shi Yao and He Qinqin were simply pouring out their hearts to each other, just like in the TV dramas, but the rumors spread by people in the company became increasingly outrageous.
“Both of you have neglected your duties at work. Your wages for today will be deducted, and each of you must submit a 3,000-word self-criticism to me.”
The top leader was absolutely furious with these two: "You two stand here and let your respective supervisors come and take the person away!"
At this moment, no matter how thick-skinned Shi Yao and He Qinqin were, their faces turned a deep purplish-red.

Just as He Qinqin chose the charity theme of "caring for special groups" as the assessment for the second episode of the program and partnered with Zhao Jiao, the remaining four reporter guests also finalized their themes and team partners.
Kao Huan-jung is a capable worker with a straightforward style at the station, which makes her prone to jealousy and results in her being not very popular.
Pei Yue's professional skills are lacking, but as the station's spendthrift, he has a good reputation. However, when he needs to ask his friends at the station for help, they all make excuses about being too busy or frantically hint that they want favors.
So the two reporters from Rongguang TV simply teamed up.
This time, the two are investigating a social topic—marriage.
Two recent news stories have generated considerable discussion: In Haicheng, a woman inherited a massive 250 million yuan fortune from her parents, only to have her husband suddenly file for divorce and demand a division of the assets.
The woman in question is Gao Huanrong's cousin.
Another heartbreaking news story is that a woman was stabbed to death in the street by her husband during the cooling-off period after divorcing her husband following domestic violence.
The Rongguang TV duo plans to follow up on this social incident and, in the meantime, educate the public on how to protect marital property and personal safety.
At New Star TV, Li Han felt that Lin Ce's recent behavior was not right, but Lin Ce refused to say anything. So she simply invited Lin Ce to become her partner and continue to investigate the academic fraud case together.
