Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 149 - 123: The Smelly and Hard Stone

Yan Jin spoke slowly, then remembered Ji Sang’s profession.

“Don’t worry.”

“Hmm, thank you, Brother.”

Yan Jin was a bit busy, and he was planning to hang up after this, but Fu Yisi suddenly remembered something,

“Brother, I remember that a medical team from Third Hospital is volunteering near Hong County.”

“Third Hospital?”

Yan Jin’s voice rose slightly.

“Are you sure?”

Fu Yisi chuckled,

“Hmm, originally our hospital was going, but Third Hospital arranged it first.”

There was a half moment of silence on the other end,

“What about this matter?”

The man lifted an eyebrow, unhurriedly,

“The person in charge is Dr. Yao.”

Yan Jin: ……

“Hang up.”

After saying this, without hesitation, he hung up the call.

Fu Yisi looked at the ended call screen, unsurprised. In matters of the heart, Yan Jin was just a stony, hardheaded man.

No wonder Dr. Yao refuses to deal with him now.

…

It’s a three-hour journey from the TV station to Hong County, Ji Sang, feeling barely recovered from a high fever, found even this short duration somewhat tiring.

She leaned against the car window the whole time, eyes closed.

Initially, Zhang Quan, who had been introducing Hong County to Ji Sang, gradually stopped upon seeing this, looking at her sleeping face, he sighed lightly.

After all, he had harbored feelings for her for several years, seeing her like this, his heart felt a bit pained.

Because, back then, he had truly, passionately admired her.

Another male journalist who accompanied them, knowing Zhang Quan well, chuckled,

“What, Brother Quan, haven’t let go yet?”

Zhang Quan glared at him,

“Don’t spout nonsense.”

Wang Feng just smiled.

Men understand men best.

Whether Zhang Quan had completely let go, he had a guess in his heart.

Wang Feng had been married for a few years now, an experienced man.

“Better to let go early than delay yourself,”

Zhang Quan vaguely responded.

It was already four in the afternoon when they arrived at Hong County. Perhaps because of a previous flood, the entire small county had an air of desolate and dilapidated texture.

The whole scenery was somewhat gloomy.

Even the sky was overcast.

Ji Sang slept deeply, and upon waking, seeing Hong County in such style, she wasn’t sure if it was reality or a dream. When getting out of the car, she got distracted and stumbled.

“Hey! Be careful.”

Zhang Quan reached out to grab Ji Sang’s arm, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Ji Sang was startled, the remaining sleepiness completely dispelled by the shock.

“Are you alright?”

Zhang Quan lowered his head to her feet, and Ji Sang also looked down, moving her foot casually.

“I’m fine”

Ji Sang smiled faintly

“Thank you”

After saying this, she subtly freed herself from Zhang Quan’s hand.

Ji Sang and Wang Feng’s accommodations were at the only inn in the county, while Zhang Quan returned to his own house.

Zhang Quan helped them move their luggage to their rooms.

“Work starts tomorrow, you guys rest for now. Tonight, I’ll take you out for dinner and give you an introduction to Hong County.”

After finishing, Zhang Quan pointed to the manager of the hotel.

“This is my cousin, let him know if you need anything.”

The manager was very enthusiastic.

“Cousin, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to take good care of your friends. The hot water in the rooms is available 24 hours; the two of you can rest assured when washing up.”

Wang Feng took the lead in expressing their thanks.

His room was right across from Ji Sang’s, which was convenient for looking after one another.

“Ji Sang, let’s meet in the hotel lobby downstairs then.”

Ji Sang agreed.

This time she did not forget Fu Yisi’s advice and called him as soon as she returned to her room.

Fu Yisi seemed to be waiting, as the call was picked up in just a few seconds.

“You’ve arrived?”

“Mhm.”

Ji Sang’s voice was a bit low; Fu Yisi frowned.

“What’s wrong? Feeling unwell?”

Ji Sang pinched the bridge of her nose and shook her head. Realizing Fu Yisi couldn’t see, she paused momentarily and then chuckled,

“No, I fell asleep in the car and haven’t completely woken up yet.”

The man was still not reassured.

“Video call.”

“No!”

Ji Sang firmly refused.

“I’ve just arrived at the hotel, going to take a shower first. I’ve made plans to meet colleagues downstairs later.”

Fearing Fu Yisi would insist, Ji Sang hastily added,

“It’s a bit urgent, I won’t talk anymore, hanging up now. I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Saying this, she hung up the phone.

Ji Sang wasn’t exactly lying; she felt a bit dizzy but thought it was completely normal.

Of course, she was also afraid of catching a cold. After her shower, she obediently took out the cold medicine from the medicine pack Fu Yisi had prepared for her and swallowed a pill.

At six o’clock, the three met downstairs on time.

Zhang Quan took them to the most famous and distinctive noodle house in the county.

“This place has been open for twenty years, their meat broth is the most flavorful.”

Zhang Quan was quite well-known in Hong County; everyone they met along the street greeted him with a smile. After all, it’s not easy for a small county to produce a college student, let alone one from a prestigious university, and moreover, Zhang Quan worked at a TV station.

He was the pride of Hong County.

Seeing that it was Zhang Quan, the noodle house’s manager insisted on treating them, and the servings of meat on their dishes were several times more than usual.

The people of Hong County were very warm.

This was Ji Sang’s most direct impression after two hours here.

It was mealtime, the noodle house was crowded, and everyone was from the county. The conversation quickly picked up, and seeing that Ji Sang and the others were from the TV station, they readily invited them to join in their conversation.

Of course, the conversation naturally turned back to the problem with the dam.

“Hey, I was part of the construction too. Worked hard for a good half a year, who knew it would turn out problematic?”

Wang Feng keenly took out his phone, opened the recording app, and placed it beside them.

“Uncle, what do you mean by that?”

The reflective uncle noticed Wang Feng’s action,

Laughed jovially,

“Young man, is this an interview?”

Wang Feng was taken aback and quickly nodded.

The uncle sighed,

“Never thought I’d be interviewed one day; well, young man, let me tell you.”

At this moment, the noodle house quieted down automatically.

“Almost everyone in our county was involved in the dam’s construction. It was genuine hard work for more than half a year, and the engineer is from Hong County too; there was absolutely nothing wrong with the blueprints.”

Ji Sang frowned slightly, as the three exchanged quick glances.

“So, where do you think the problem occurred?”
