Meanwhile, Jiang Feng sat in his study, staring at his computer screen that displayed his own post on the Donghai People's Communication Network. However, he didn't bother to read the comments and instead opened the system panel. As expected, his fan value continued to grow, and it was now approaching 7,000. At this rate, he would reach the 10,000 fan value needed for his next prophecy in less than an hour.
"I wonder if there will be a random task this time," Jiang Feng muttered to himself.
As he thought about this, Su Mengmeng had recovered from her earlier mental shutdown on the Donghai TV communication van.
"Is this true?" She asked her assistant, Xiao Huang, staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
"It's absolutely true, Director Su. I have verified it repeatedly," Xiao Huang replied.
"But, as I said before, I am just repeating what I heard without any subjective intention. I have received a higher education, and I will not believe such statements."
Su Mengmeng understood that Xiao Huang was just an assistant and only needed to collect information. However, as the person responsible for the exclusive interview and follow-up report on this event, she had to analyze and prepare for the interview and report, no matter how unreasonable the event looked.
Su Mengmeng thought about similar programs she had seen or heard of before. These programs were all marketed under the guise of mystery and used unknown methods, or technology, to deceive the audience and achieve stunning effects. However, as an industry insider, Su Mengmeng knew the means and techniques used behind the scenes, and she was aware of many secrets unknown to the public.
She believed that she could find some clues from the original text of the "prophecy post" or from the comments of other users. With these clues and her experience, she could analyze and judge the true nature of the event.
With that in mind, Su Mengmeng quickly logged onto the Donghai People's Communication Network on her phone and searched for the "prophecy post." She thought she would have to search for it for a day, but to her surprise, she found it quickly and easily as it was pinned and featured on the website.
As she read through the post, she was struck by the words "Nanhu Tunnel" and "33 minutes and 48 seconds," which were extremely eye-catching and unforgettable.
Su Mengmeng was once again speechless.
She tried to suppress the shock in her heart and continued reading the comments. There were an unusually large number of comments thanking and praising Jiang Feng, which felt like heavy blows to her mind.
Her past experiences were useless in the face of this event. Su Mengmeng couldn't believe that this was a carefully planned scam or an optical illusion similar to magic. She couldn't even question Captain Qiu's statement.
Su Mengmeng realized that the comments were the best evidence to support this event. When she considered Captain Qiu's identity and other factors, she felt that the task that her leader had given her was an incredibly difficult problem.
For a moment, Su Mengmeng was lost in thought, unsure how to proceed with the exclusive interview and follow-up report on Captain Qiu.
Time quietly passed by as Su Mengmeng and Xiao Huang exchanged a speechless gaze, and the car had already entered the parking lot of the City Government Building.
At this point, the parking lot was already full, and it seemed that the license plates belonged to various departments of the City Government.
Finally, after circling around for three or four times, the driver from the television station found a parking spot and parked the car.
Following Xiao Huang's prompt, Su Mengmeng got out of the car, still feeling a little dazed. She took a deep breath to recover and then walked towards the City Government Building with the television station staff who were carrying equipment.
...
Upon arriving at the conference room of the City Government Building, Su Mengmeng saw that no one was there yet, so she ordered Xiao Huang to set up the equipment with the staff first. She then headed towards the City Lord's office.
Her parents were acquainted with Qiu Shengqiang, the City Lord, and he had always been kind to her. So she felt that she should greet him first, otherwise it might seem inappropriate to just come for business matters.
...
Su Mengmeng soon arrived outside the City Lord's office. After receiving a response to her knock, she entered the office. Inside, there was Qiu Shengqiang, his daughter Qiu Shihan, and a middle-aged man whose name Su Mengmeng couldn't remember, but whose face she recognized. They were sitting on the sofa in the guest area of the office, seemingly discussing something.
Their conversation was interrupted by Su Mengmeng's knock, and the three of them turned to look at her.
"Mengmeng, you were called over for an interview by the leader of your television station, right?"
"Don't worry, everyone hasn't arrived yet, come have a seat first."
Upon seeing that it was Su Mengmeng, Qiu Shengqiang smiled and waved his hand.
Su Mengmeng smiled and nodded slightly, still a little puzzled, and then sat down as instructed.
After Su Mengmeng took her seat, Qiu Shengqiang turned to Qiu Shihan and Han Daxin and said, "Let me introduce you. This is the top host of Donghai City Television Station, a very good girl."
After exchanging greetings, Qiu Shengqiang signaled for Qiu Shihan to continue explaining the situation.
...
After listening to Qiu Shihan's words, the four of them fell into deep thought and silence.
Qiu Shengqiang was considering his responsibilities as a leader and how to handle the situation, while the other three silently waited for him to speak.
...
At this moment, Qiu Shengqiang's secretary, Xiao Zhang, knocked on the door and reported, "City Lord Qiu, everyone has arrived, and they are all in the conference room on the top floor."
Qiu Shengqiang immediately asked the three of them to follow him to the conference room.
...
Upon entering the conference room, Qiu Shengqiang took the head seat, and the other three found their seats as well. Su Mengmeng saw a few familiar faces who had visited their television station before, but she suddenly couldn't recall their names.
"Those who are not department heads, except for Qiu Shihan and Su Mengmeng, please leave!" Qiu Shengqiang waved his hand, clearing the room.
"Mengmeng, have your staff remove the interview equipment," he continued.
Su Mengmeng sensed that the atmosphere had completely changed. Compared to the City Lord's office earlier, the atmosphere now was even more strange and serious, as if something big was about to happen.
Following Qiu Shengqiang's orders, the conference room was soon left with only seven people.
The meeting officially began.
