Chapter 394: The Club Is in Trouble
The counselor told Su Ruochu that if she wanted, she could end her volunteer work now. The college would arrange for others to take over, and she would only need to handle the upcoming media interviews from the city.
But Su Ruochu rejected the offer without a second thought.
"I want to see it through to the end. Since I joined this activity, I hope to complete it."
"Teacher, I don't want any honors, and besides, I'm not the only one volunteering in the isolation building right now."
The counselor smiled, "But you're the only one working inside the isolation building."
"Don't worry. The school will have appropriate rewards for all students participating in this volunteer activity. No one will be shortchanged."
Hearing this, Su Ruochu felt slightly relieved.
However, she still insisted on finishing the volunteer activity.
The counselor couldn't persuade her and had to report Su Ruochu's wishes to the higher-ups.
As a result, a few days later, when the media came to interview Su Ruochu, the arranged interview location was changed to the entrance of the isolation building.
The counselor was a bit nervous, fearing that the media reporters might feel they weren't being taken seriously enough.
Unexpectedly, the reporters didn't mind at all. When they saw Su Ruochu in her protective suit, their eyes lit up.
What was this?
It was a positive news story handed to them on a silver platter.
One reporter suggested that they wanted to enter the isolation building to film Su Ruochu at work.
Faced with this request, the two school leaders accompanying them looked a bit awkward.
However, the reporter was from a major domestic newspaper, so they couldn't directly refuse.
The reporter understood what the school leaders were worried about and smilingly assured them that he would take proper protective measures and would only film, not interact with the students inside the isolation building.
Hearing this, the leaders relaxed a little.
So, after putting on protective suits, this reporter and a local reporter were allowed to enter the isolation building.
They filmed Su Ruochu at work.
Through their lens, they saw Su Ruochu, a frail-looking girl, carrying two large bags full of boxed meals, at least 40 to 50 boxes, up and down the stairs, getting drenched in sweat every ten minutes or so.
But this girl never complained.
Moreover, these two reporters noticed something interesting.
Every time she delivered to a dorm room, a voice of thanks would come from inside.
"Thanks, junior sister."
"Junior sister, you've worked hard."
"Thank you, senior sister."
These thanks weren't prepared in advance, nor were they joking around. They were sincere thanks from everyone to this girl.
The two reporters faithfully captured all of this on camera.
Soon, the national reporter noticed another interesting thing.
Some dorm room doors had sticky notes or envelopes attached to them.
After delivering the meals, Su Ruochu would take these down and put them in her pocket.
"What are these?" The reporter was too curious and couldn't help but ask quietly.
So Su Ruochu explained the story behind these notes and envelopes.
Kind, enthusiastic, not afraid of hardship, thinking of others...
This... was full of positive energy.
The two reporters' eyes lit up, as if they could see an excellent news article full of positive energy forming in their hands.
Coming out of the dormitory building, Su Ruochu was interviewed by all the reporters.
During the interview, Su Ruochu didn't hide anything. She told everyone that she initially joined as a volunteer because her boyfriend was quarantined here.
But later, seeing how lonely and bored the students in the isolation building were, she and her boyfriend came up with the idea of writing notes or helping everyone mail letters.
Finally, Su Ruochu also mentioned the dormitory auntie, other volunteers, and security guards of this building, saying that everyone had made a lot of contributions.
The reporters made brief notes, but they were clearly not very interested in these topics.
"Can you tell us about the group singing in the isolation building that day?"
"We heard it was a surprise your boyfriend prepared for you..."
Su Ruochu was stunned, her mouth slightly open, looking at the reporters in front of her.
She wondered if these were really from major domestic media.
How could they be so gossipy?
...
As time entered early July, news spread that set the entire campus on fire.
The school lockdown would be lifted tomorrow.
The students were excited to the point of madness. Some were trying every means to verify the accuracy of the news.
Others rushed to the school's small supermarket to buy snacks to celebrate.
Soon, the source of the news was confirmed.
Students began to celebrate wildly. Couples could be seen cuddling everywhere on campus.
On the basketball court, a group of boys were playing basketball, laughing and joking, relieved that they would no longer have to share one hoop among over a dozen people.
The dormitory buildings were filled with "ghostly wails and wolf howls" of shouting and yelling.
Everyone had been going stir-crazy.
Tomorrow, they could finally go out.
In Chen Fan's apartment building, Luo Wenjie and Ma Xiaoshuai were lounging on the sofa like old men, playing video games.
Chen Fan, wearing an apron, was busy in the kitchen.
Soon, he brought out a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.
"Hiss... it smells so good. I'm hungry already."
"Quick, pour me a bowl!" Ma Xiaoshuai screamed excitedly while playing his game.
Chen Fan tasted the soup a bit, then casually grabbed a pack of instant noodles from the table and threw it over.
"If you want to eat, eat this. This soup is for my dear Ruochu."
Ma Xiaoshuai immediately started wailing.
"Damn, seriously? Valuing romance over friendship, huh?"
Luo Wenjie chuckled and teased, "Fourth Sister-in-law has been so busy lately, Brother Fan is worried about his wife and specially made this soup to nourish her body."
"Would you really have the guts to drink it if he gave it to you?"
Ma Xiaoshuai grinned: "What's there to be embarrassed about? If he gives it to me, I'll drink it."
"Damn. I didn't expect you to be even more shameless than me."
Luo Wenjie turned to look at Chen Fan.
"Brother Fan, don't mind him, just pour me a bowl. Let's make him jealous."
Chen Fan couldn't be bothered with these two.
"I've given you the instant noodles, okay? Whoever dares to touch my soup, don't blame me for getting angry."
After saying this, he excitedly rushed back into the kitchen to prepare the next dish.
Luo Wenjie shook his head helplessly.
"For a man to reach Brother Fan's level, there's really no one else like him."
Ma Xiaoshuai grumbled, "If my wife could do for me what his does, I'd make soup for her every day too."
Luo Wenjie mercilessly shot him down: "You? Make soup? You'd be doing well just to make instant noodles."
"You lost this round, hurry up and make the noodles. I'm starving."
In the kitchen, Chen Fan was humming a little tune, immersed in the joy of cooking.
Tomorrow, his wife would finish her volunteer work, and they could finally meet. Hehe.
Just as he was looking forward to tomorrow's arrival, his phone rang in his pocket.
Old Feng?
Chen Fan was a bit surprised.
Why would Old Feng call him at this time?
Could something have happened with Ding Dian?
"Hello? It's me."
"Boss, something's happened at the club," Feng Pojun said quickly on the other end of the phone.
From the sound of it, he seemed to be running.
Chen Fan frowned: "What's the situation? What happened?"
Feng Pojun quickly explained, "Tonight, a group of people suddenly broke into the club and got into a conflict with our security team."
"I was leading people to confront them, but it turned out to be a diversion. A few others secretly climbed over the wall and snuck into the club. They set fire to the club."
Chen Fan was shocked. He quickly asked:
"How's the situation? Is anyone injured?"
"How badly is the club damaged?"
