47: I don't know what it is, it has a nose and eyes

“The thing you dug up is a Tai Sui?”

Qin Jiang leaned closer to examine it, feeling that something was off.

The Compendium of Materia Medica records:

“Meat ganoderma resembles flesh.

Attached to large stones, with a head and tail, it is a living creature.

Red ones are like coral, white ones like fat, black ones like Euphorbia helioscopia, green ones like kingfisher feathers, and yellow ones like purple gold; all are bright and clear like solid ice.”

Translated into vernacular, it means Tai Sui looks like a mushroom and should be a fungus.

It has a head and tail, and is as plump as meat, so it is also called Meat Lingzhi.

From its appearance alone, the item in the basin certainly bore a resemblance.

Just as Qin Jiang was about to observe it more closely, a female reporter entered with several photographers.

“Quick, it’s here.”

Seeing so many people suddenly rush in, Qin Jiang was startled.

“Who are you?”

The female reporter quickly stepped forward to introduce herself.

“Hello, Doctor, we are reporters from Jinxi TV Station. I am Ye Yun, and this is my press card.”

Ye Yun handed her press card to Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang didn't know how to distinguish between a real and fake one, but since she was so well-equipped, the card must be real, right?

Just as Qin Jiang was thinking this, Ye Yun suddenly looked into the distance, her expression a little strange.

“Liu Yan, why are you here too?”

Since she had been discovered by Ye Yun, Liu Yan no longer hid and walked directly up to greet her.

“Ye Yun, I am here to record a reality live show, that’s why I’m here.”

Ye Yun said, “Oh.”

“Oh, now that you mention it, I remember.”

“I was wondering why you didn't come to the last class reunion; turns out you were doing a reality show.”

“Which entertainment company are you working for now?”

Liu Yan smiled and didn’t speak.

Liu Yan was very clear about Ye Yun’s personality and didn't want to conflict with her in front of so many people.

But Liu Yan’s silence, in Ye Yun’s eyes, meant she was feeling guilty.

Ye Yun took out her press card and hung it on her chest, then said in a sarcastic tone:

“I still envy you, junior. Your grades were so good back then, and now you’ve joined an entertainment company to do reality shows. You must be making a lot of money, right?”

“Unlike me, I can only work for a local station. People say it’s an iron rice bowl, but in reality, the salary is simply not enough.”

Ye Yun’s words caused strong dissatisfaction among the live stream viewers.

“Who is this woman? She’s too pretentious, isn’t she?”

“Isn’t she just a small reporter from a local station? Why is she so arrogant?”

“To the one above, a reporter from a local station is already very impressive, and you call her a small reporter. Do you know how much power reporters have?”

“I know about this. There’s a factory near my house that almost got exposed by a reporter for not meeting emission standards. The boss gave the reporter a lot of money to settle the matter.”

“Reporters are all like this nowadays. You can tell by this woman’s face.”

Liu Yan had a good temper, but Qin Jiang did not.

After all, he had eaten with Liu Yan and her photography team.

Where did Ye Yun come from?

How dare she speak sarcastically in front of him?

In front of everyone, Qin Jiang took Liu Yan’s press card from her pocket and hung it on her chest.

“Director Liu, I must tell you, why aren’t you wearing your work ID during working hours?”

Liu Yan’s pretty face flushed, knowing that Qin Jiang was sticking up for her.

When Ye Yun saw the work ID hanging on Liu Yan’s chest, her face immediately turned ugly.

CCTV?

Liu Yan, this junior, actually made it to CCTV?

Holy cow, this is a reality live show hosted by CCTV!

Seeing Liu Yan’s colleague aiming the camera directly at her face, Ye Yun immediately became nervous.

Earlier, she had thought Liu Yan was working for a small entertainment company, so whether it was live or not didn’t matter, as not many people would see it anyway.

But if it was a CCTV live broadcast, it would be different. Would her sarcastic remarks just now lead to her being cyberbullied?

Ye Yun said awkwardly, “Junior, I was just joking with you, don’t mind it.”

“When you were studying, I knew you would definitely achieve something. Look, you’ve even made it into CCTV. That’s truly impressive.”

Liu Yan nodded.

“You go about your business, senior. Don’t mind me.”

Reminded by Liu Yan, Ye Yun finally remembered why she was here.

Ye Yun said to Qin Jiang, “What should I call you?”

“Qin Jiang.”

“Mr. Qin, we are reporters from Jinxi TV Station. We heard that a Tai Sui was dug up in He Yang Village, so we would like to conduct a full-length follow-up report and interview. Is that okay?”

“No problem.”

Ye Yun had already shown Qin Jiang her press card, so what could Qin Jiang say?

He couldn't just drive these reporters away, could he?

Qin Jiang originally thought that Ye Yun, like Gao Yang, would focus mainly on filming, speaking less and filming more.

Who knew that as soon as Qin Jiang said “no problem,” Ye Yun took out a microphone, gestured to the photographer to get ready, and immediately began her introduction.

“Hello, viewers of Jinxi Express News. We are now at Qin’s Medical Hall, located in the west of the city.”

“Behind me, many villagers have gathered. They called us earlier to say that when they were digging a well in the village, they dug up a fleshy, mushroom-like object.”

“The Old man in the village, who is over eighty years old, also told us that they have lived their whole lives and have never seen anything like it.”

“So now, let’s go forward together and see what exactly this thing is?”

Ye Yun walked towards the villagers as she spoke.

The photographer was also very understanding and immediately took a close-up of the Tai Sui in the basin.

Qin Jiang stood by, somewhat speechless.

Although Ye Yun’s words and actions seemed very professional.

But for some reason, Qin Jiang always felt that Ye Yun, as a reporter, spoke and acted too formulaically and officially, not naturally at all.

Ye Yun held the microphone and randomly interviewed a villager.

“Big brother, could you please tell us what exactly is going on?”

Seeing the camera pointed at him, the big brother’s expression became a little unnatural.

“What’s there to say?”

The big brother tried to leave, but Ye Yun grabbed him.

“Big brother, just say a few words. Many viewers are watching you on TV right now.”

Upon hearing that many viewers were watching him, the big brother became even more embarrassed.

“There’s not much to say. I just called a friend to help retrieve the pump, and I accidentally pulled this thing out.”

“It was dozens of meters deep. When it was pulled out, it was fleshy, and I didn’t know what it was. It had a nose and eyes.”

Upon hearing the big brother say that this thing had a nose and eyes, Qin Jiang immediately understood something.

Qin Jiang wanted to stop Ye Yun from continuing the interview, but Ye Yun had already squatted by the basin.
