Chapter 297 "News in Progress" - On-site reporter, Teacher Bai?

The next morning, He Fanxing, Song Xue, and Yang Xiaoyu entered the "Design Fundamentals" classroom just seconds before the class bell rang.

Upon entering, I discovered that the teacher had not yet arrived.

Seeing He Canyang, who had arrived at the classroom ten minutes early to scout the situation, shrug helplessly at her, He Fanxing suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Jingle Bell!"

The school bell rang at that moment.

With a series of hurried footsteps, Ye Luming, dressed in a suit and tie, stepped into the classroom before the bell rang.

Thankfully, I wasn't late.

Ye Luming took a deep breath and looked up at the group of dumbfounded students in the classroom.

Cough!

Ye Luming cleared his throat, about to greet everyone.

"Wang!"

A dog barked from the pet backpack behind Ye Luming.

Ye Luming strode to the front of the lecture, took off his backpack, unzipped it, and took out a fluffy curly-haired teddy bear.

"Let me introduce you all. This is my 'son' named Zhao Taohua. He's a puppy who just turned one year old. Come on, say hello to everyone."

Ye Luming said, lifting Teddy's chin.

The puppy cooperated by barking once.

Just as Ye Luming was about to praise his good son, a rustling sound of tables and chairs suddenly came from below.

He Fanxing stood up from her seat.

"Ye Luming, our school rules clearly stipulate that teachers and students are prohibited from bringing pets onto campus!"

"That's why I put it in the pet backpack. Don't worry, it's very well-behaved and won't disturb anyone in class."

Ye Luming didn't give He Fanxing a chance to refute and continued, "I just met with everyone last Saturday, but I didn't introduce my educational background in detail at that time."

"I graduated with a bachelor's and master's degree in architecture from the University of London, which is why I have a special fondness for female architecture students."

As soon as these words were spoken, a murmur immediately broke out in the classroom.

The architecture program at the University of London is among the best in the world.

Ye Luming's ability to study at this world-renowned university is not only inseparable from his privileged family background, but also from his remarkable personal abilities.

Aside from his academic qualifications, the most discussed topic was Ye Luming's last sentence.

Amy hasn't come to class this week since she was dumped by Ye Luming at her birthday party last Saturday.

It is said that he took a week off from school.

Therefore, without a doubt, Ye Luming's words were meant for He Fanxing.

Without saying a word, He Fanxing slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed for the classroom door.

Ye Luming stepped in front of the door to block it.

"Starting today, I have been invited by Professor Chen to become a teaching assistant for the 'Design Fundamentals' course. However, Professor Chen is unavailable today, so I will be teaching this class!"

After saying that, Ye Luming glanced at He Fanxing in front of him with a hint of smugness.

"He Fanxing, roll call is about to start, where are you going?"

He Fanxing stared at Ye Luming expressionlessly:
"I'm not feeling well, I need to go to the school clinic!"

If someone says they feel unwell, at least pretend to clutch your stomach or something.

He Fanxing didn't even bother to pretend.

She was clearly telling Ye Luming that she simply didn't want to attend his class.

Ye Luming simply shrugged at this.

"Okay, I've approved your leave. If you don't want to come to class in the future, just tell me and I'll approve it."

so good?
He Fanxing looked at Ye Luming with suspicion.

"See? If I don't approve your leave, you'll be suspicious; if I do approve it, you'll be even more suspicious!"

Ye Luming shrugged:
"No wonder everyone says that prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain."

Did you say so?

He Fanxing interrupted impatiently.

After you finish speaking, get out of the way!

Ye Luming really did step aside.

Just as He Fanxing was about to leave the classroom, Ye Luming suddenly called her back.

"He Fanxing, to put your mind at ease, let's make a deal!"

“You don’t have to come to my class, but you have to take care of my son during class.”

Without waiting for He Fanxing's reply, he handed the dog and the bag to her.

He Fanxing looked up at Ye Luming, her face expressionless, and said, "What if I refuse?"

Ye Luming smiled at He Fanxing: "Then go back to class obediently."

Otherwise, it wouldn't be just one absence, but an open truancy.

If the matter escalates to the department level, the punishment will at least be a department-wide reprimand.

He Fanxing snatched the dog and bag and left without looking back.

Ye Luming closed the classroom door with satisfaction and turned to walk back to the podium.

"Alright, students, let's begin the lesson now."

……

"Jingle Bell!"

The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Ye Luming, who was sitting at the first desk, immediately announced the end of get out of class.

With a rustling sound of desks and chairs, most of the students in the classroom stood up, packed their books, and started to leave.

Yang Xiaoyu gently nudged Song Xue beside her with her elbow.

"Putting aside his character, Ye Luming does have some real talent and learning. I think his classes are much more interesting than Professor Chen's."

Song Xue nodded.

I underestimated Ye Luming before, thinking he was just a spoiled brat.

It seems that this person does have some skills.

Of course, it's also possible that there was a master guiding him behind the scenes.

"Really? I don't think he even looked at the lecture notes or lesson plan during the whole class. If he had someone else to help him prepare the lesson, the lecture wouldn't have been so smooth."

Yang Xiaoyu clearly had doubts about Song Xue's judgment.

Song Xue looked at Yang Xiaoyu speechlessly.

The method she was referring to wasn't Ye Luming's teaching ability, but rather his ability to pick up girls.

In exchange for granting her leave, he forced He Fanxing to help take care of the puppy.

Most girls are powerless against these cute little animals.

Once He Fanxing and the puppy became familiar with each other, Ye Luming used the puppy to rebuild a bridge of communication between them.

This is an open conspiracy, and there's no way to break it.

After listening to Song Xue's analysis, Yang Xiaoyu suddenly realized something.

Has He Fanxing already fallen into their trap?

Just as she was thinking this, she saw He Canyang holding his phone and hurriedly approaching Ye Luming.

"Um... Teacher Ye, it's my sister on the phone. She needs to talk to you about something."

Ye Luming took the phone from He Canyang and put it to his ear.

"I'll wait for you in the classroom. Please bring the peach blossom charm over here."

"what?"

Ye Luming suddenly stood up straight, and his voice suddenly rose several decibels.

"You lost your love charm? When and where did you lose it?"

Unlike Ye Luming's panic, He Fanxing's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very calm.

"Just half an hour ago, I took the peach blossom to the school's small garden to let it out for some fresh air. But as soon as I took out my phone to check the time, it disappeared. I searched all around but couldn't find it."

Ye Luming frowned, repeatedly saying, "How could this happen?" "Don't worry, I'll get my classmates to help me look for it. As long as Zhao Taohua hasn't run out of the school, I'll definitely help you find her."

Ye Luming's tone was extremely anxious: "What if it runs out of the school? Or what if someone takes it away?"

"I'm really sorry, if you really can't find one, I'll make you one exactly the same." He Fanxing knew she was in the wrong, and her attitude was very humble.

"No, I only want to attract romance!" Ye Luming said decisively.

"I'll give you an explanation in three days at most!" He Fanxing promised confidently.

"Okay, let me know as soon as you have any news."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Luming returned the phone to He Canyang.

"Teacher Ye, don't worry, I'll go help my sister find the dog right away."

He Canyang comforted Ye Luming for a couple of minutes, then quickly ran outside.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyu and Song Xue quickly packed up their books and left the classroom.

As she went downstairs, Yang Xiaoyu called He Fanxing.

"Stars, have you found the puppy yet?"

"No, where are you now?"

"You're still in the teaching building. Where are you? We'll come over and help you find us."

"No need, you guys go straight back to the dorm, I'll be back in a bit."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Putting down her phone, Yang Xiaoyu frowned and looked at Song Xue beside her.

I felt that He Fanxing's tone on the phone was a little strange.

Logically speaking, He Fanxing should be very anxious about losing Ye Luming's dog.

But Yang Xiaoyu didn't realize this.

Song Xue couldn't guess what was going on, so she could only go back to the dormitory and wait for He Fanxing to come back before asking her.

Half an hour later, He Fanxing returned to her dormitory.

As soon as they entered, Yang Xiaoyu and Song Xue both looked at the pet carrier in her hand.

is empty.

"Stars, haven't you found them yet?" Yang Xiaoyu asked as she stepped forward.

He Fanxing closed the door, turned around and shrugged at her two roommates.

"The dog wasn't lost, I just took it to the vet."

what?
Yang Xiaoyu and Song Xue were both stunned.

"What happened to the dog?" the two asked in unison.

"Nothing much, I just had the vet do a spaying surgery on it."

He Fanxing replied casually.

what?
Sterilization surgery!!
Yang Xiaoyu and Song Xue were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

The key question is, why did He Fanxing do this?

"You have no idea how disgusting male poodles are! My neighbor used to have one, and whenever it was in heat, it would mount any female dog it saw, and no one could pull it away. I even saw their dog doing *that* on a teddy bear once. From that moment on, I swore I would never own a dog again!"

Yang Xiaoyu and Song Xue both showed disgust and disgust at the scene He Fanxing described.

"So you sent Ye Luming's dog to be spayed?"

"This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!"

He Fanxing said menacingly, "Isn't he just trying to hit on me with this dog? I'll neuter the dog and let him know what happens when he messes with me!"

Yang Xiaoyu and Song Xue exchanged a glance, with only one thought in their minds.

Cow breaking!

"Then how are you going to explain this to Ye Luming?" Song Xue asked again.

On her way back, He Fanxing had already thought it through: "Just say that it ran off-campus, encountered a female dog that tried to molest it, and was caught by the dog's owner and taken to the vet, thus solving the problem once and for all."

"..."

Even Song Xue was speechless.

-

While getting lunch at the cafeteria, He Fanxing and her two companions ran into Jiang Nansun.

The news of Ye Luming serving as a teaching assistant for the "Design Fundamentals" course and the incident of losing his dog has spread throughout the architecture department.

Jiang Nansun asked if the dog had been found, and He Fanxing could only lie and say that they were still looking for it.

No sooner had she finished speaking than He Fanxing's phone rang.

When I took it out, I saw it was a call from He Canyang.

He Fanxing didn't tell He Canyang about it, nor was she afraid that he would let it slip on the phone. She answered the call in front of Jiang Nansun.

"Sis, something terrible has happened!"

"What, you found the dog?"

"No, I just saw someone handing out flyers at the entrance of the dormitory building. It was someone hired by Ye Luming. They're offering a 500,000 yuan reward for finding the dog. I bet there are people handing out these flyers at the entrances of all the male and female dormitories on campus right now!"

He Fanxing was stunned.

How many?

Five hundred thousand!!

Even Jiang Nansun, who was standing to the side, was somewhat moved when he heard this number.

Five hundred thousand to find a dog?

This is not making a mountain out of a molehill; it's clearly aimed at making the news.

-

Shanghai TV Station.

He Huan, a reporter from the "News in Progress" program, had just sat down at her computer when she heard the rapid sound of high heels on the floor behind her.

Looking back, I saw Bai Yang, the host of "News in Progress".

Bai Yang and He Huan are colleagues and best friends. They both joined Shanghai TV station. After their internships, one became a program host and the other became a live reporter.

The two often connect via video during live broadcasts and are recognized by the program team as a golden duo.

Bai Yang had just finished his broadcast when he heard that He Huan was back, so he rushed over immediately.

“I went to see the scene of the suicide at the construction site. Uncle Hat managed to persuade the person to come down. It’s the same old story: the construction company is in arrears with wages, and the contractor can only organize the migrant workers to cause trouble at the construction site.”

As soon as He Huan finished speaking, Bai Yang walked directly to He Huan's side, bent down, moved the mouse, and opened the web browser.

While operating the device, he said, "I just received a news tip that someone at Tongji University has lost a male Teddy dog."

what?
He Huan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

Bai Yang certainly wouldn't make a special trip just because he lost a dog.

The only explanation is that the dog owner is someone special.

Given that the incident occurred on a university campus, it's highly likely that the person who lost the dog was a visiting foreign professor or scholar, which is why the station and Bai Yang took it so seriously.

"I have already investigated the dog owner's identity. He is Ye Luming, the nephew of Ye Jinyan, the chairman of Jingyan Group. He is a rich second-generation who has just returned from studying abroad."

Bai Yang's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed, accessing the Tongji University forum through the search page.

My gaze immediately fell on a post that had been pinned to the top by the forum moderator.

A teaching assistant in the architecture department has lost his beloved dog; a reward of 500,000 yuan is offered for its return!

That's it!

Bai Yang opened the post and let He Huan read it herself.

He Huan quickly read through the post, her face filled with shock.

Five hundred thousand to find a dog?

He Huan's first reaction was—this must be fake news?
Bai Yang's voice rang out immediately afterward:

"I've already confirmed it; the news is true."

He Huan's eyes showed even deeper doubt.

Even if the news is true, it's not very newsworthy.

—Unless Ye Luming actively contacts the station to "buy news," hoping that the lost dog can be broadcast on television to amplify its impact.

Is such a small matter worth Bai Yang personally making the trip for?
