Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

“Now you see how simple her love life is,” Lan Ning commented calmly. “People say impulse is the devil, but every time her heart flutters, it’s the result of an impulse, and then, in less than a week, her infatuation cools down. By the time the person reappears in front of her, she can’t even remember their name anymore.”

“That’s because my brain capacity is so limited,” Li Li said. “I’ve already used up most of it to remember knowledge, how could I have the space to fit those people in?”

Tan Rou pursed her lips, “In the future, let’s not go watch your male gods anymore. When you have a boyfriend, I’ll definitely give you a big gift. Until then, don’t introduce me to people you’re interested in.”

Li Li chuckled, “Oh, Tan Rou, don’t sweat the small stuff. The people I fancy can very quickly become boyfriends, that’s how yours came about, isn’t it?”

“I’m nothing like you with your fickle heart,” Tian Tian retorted. “I only love my husband.”

“Yeah, I only have eyes for Zhuang Liu too,” Tan Rou added.

Li Li then turned her gaze to Liang Lu, who said in surprise, “Aren’t you very clear about my situation with Mr. Lu?”

Liang Lu had gotten into the habit of calling Lu Qing “Mr. Lu,” while he would call her “Director Liang.” These were terms of endearment.

Thinking it over, Li Li realized that she was the only one who had been single all along, constantly shifting her affections from one person to another, never liking someone for more than a month. To be attracted to someone for a week was already quite an accomplishment for her.

“Forget it,” Li Li resignedly said. “I’ll like someone for as long as it lasts. I would find it exhausting to be with one man for my entire life.”

Tan Rou and the others swore never to accompany Li Li on her wild excursions again, because she wasn’t serious about pursuing anyone; she just thought someone looked handsome and wanted to look at them a bit longer. Once she’d had her fill, her interest faded.

But Li Li still had some feelings for Wu Hao; after all, he was excellent in so many ways, especially his handsome face, which was enough for her to appreciate for a few more days.

“Tan Rou, could you help me ask Tao Zheng if the video is ready?” Li Li looped her arm through Tan Rou’s and said affectionately, “I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Curiously, Tan Rou asked, “You can see for yourself in the group chat. Besides, he already rejected you, why do you still want to help him get the video?”

“It’s not like I don’t like him, so I think I can still try,” Li Li replied. “And since I’ve already promised him, I can’t go back on my word.”

“Okay,” Tan Rou nodded. “I’ll ask for you.”

Photographers didn’t all work at the same time; they each followed for about half the track. Generally, at any given time, there were only four photographers shooting simultaneously, much like a relay race—an exchange where one photographer’s shooting session would end and another would take their place, taking turns to rest.

When some of the photographers had downtime, they had the opportunity to post the videos in the group chat.

Tan Rou and Li Li had also been added to the group by Tao Zheng in advance because he found it too troublesome to forward videos and was also uncertain about what Li Li wanted, so he simply added her to the group to pick for herself.

A photographer uploaded the processed videos to the group, and one of them said, “While shooting, I noticed something. Some of the contestants didn’t seem to have their minds on the long-distance running; they were deliberately causing trouble inside. I saw a short contestant constantly bumping into others.”

Another photographer added, “I saw it too. Those people have no sportsmanship at all. If it were in our competitions, I would have reported them already.”

Li Li asked, “Is there any video footage? Could you post more about the bumping incident?”

Immediately, many videos and photos were shared in the group, with some clearly showing the person bumping into others.

“Thank you all,” Li Li responded.

A photographer commented, “We’re just photographers this time, and it’s not our place to say anything. If you need the video, just leave a message in the group and we will shoot more.”
