Chapter 920: The Action Director Wants a Competition!

The New Year should have been a good time for everyone to have a good rest. However, Fang Qiu’s parents even took him to visit their distant relatives, which upset him.

It seemed that they were going to visit all the people they knew!

After staying home for a few days to accompany his parents, Fang Qiu found an opportunity to leave.

When he was back in Jiangjing, he bought some New Year gifts from the mall and went to Xu Miaolin’s home to visit him.

“Why are you back so soon?”

Seeing Fang Qiu, Xu Miaolin was very curious.

During the New Year, everyone would rest for seven or eight days and spend more time with their parents at home.

It had only been a few days. Why did Fang Qiu come back to Jiangjing?

“See? I’m coming to wish you a happy New Year.”

Fang Qiu waved the New Year gifts in his hand and walked into the room with a grin.

“You’re so considerate.”

Xu Miaolin grinned and took the gifts from Fang Qiu’s hand at once. Then he pointed to the sofa and motioned him to sit down.

“Fang Qiu is here?”

Chu Yunyun was also surprised to see him.

“Happy New Year, Ma’am!”

Fang Qiu immediately greeted her with a smile.

“You too.”

Chu Yunyun nodded with satisfaction. She glanced at Xu Miaolin and said, “Stay for dinner today and have a taste of my dishes.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Fang Qiu answered, smiling.

Chu Yunyun ordered Xu Miaolin to prepare all kinds of ingredients and help cook.

Fang Qiu was too embarrassed to just sit there and watch, so he hurried to lend a hand.

As they prepared the ingredients, the three talked about Fang Qiu’s performance at the New Year’s Gala. Chu Yunyun and Xu Miaolin kept praising Fang Qiu, and Fang Qiu praised himself too. A few hours later, Fang Qiu was embarrassed by the shower of praises.

When everything was done, a sumptuous meal was presented on the table.

The three of them were sitting at the table, eating and talking.

“Fang Qiu, come on, take it.”

As soon as they started to eat, Chu Yunyun stood up, took out a big red envelope from her trouser pocket, handed it to Fang Qiu, and said, “Your teacher didn’t prepare a red envelope for you, but I did. Although there’s not much money in it, it’s a gift from me. Take it.”

“Thank you, Ma’am.”

Fang Qiu instantly accepted the red envelope with a smile.

“Shouldn’t it be a student showing his filial respect to the teacher?”

Xu Miaolin rolled his eyes.

“How shameless you are!”

Chu Yunyun rolled her eyes at Xu Miaolin and then said to Fang Qiu with a smile, “Come on, dig in before the dishes get cold. You can eat as much as you want today. I added some herbs into each dish, but you won’t be able to taste any traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. The more you eat, the better it will be for your health.”

“Okay!”

Fang Qiu nodded and continued, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

After that, he began to dig in.

While they were enjoying the meal, Xu Miaolin suddenly said, “By the way, there’s something I was gonna talk to you about when you got back to school. Since you’re here today, let’s talk about it now.”

“What is it?” Fang Qiu asked curiously.

But judging from Xu Miaolin’s tone of voice, it seemed to be a big deal.

“Here’s the thing.”

Xu Miaolin put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, “I received news that there may be a change in the medical conference.”

“A change?!”

Fang Qiu was stunned.

He knew that the medical conference Xu Miaolin mentioned was a gathering in the field of traditional Chinese medicine that only highly-skilled doctors could attend!

Xu Miaolin nodded and said, “Yes. From what I heard, this medical conference may be held ahead of schedule or delayed, but of course, it may also be held on time. For now, it’s hard to say!”

“What’s going on?”

Fang Qiu frowned and asked further, “How come there’s a sudden change?”

“Isn’t this all because of your new book?”

Xu Miaolin glanced at Fang Qiu and said, “Your book will definitely be the focus of this conference, so even if you fail to become a highly-skilled doctor before the conference starts, you may be invited. But I’m not sure when the conference will start.”

“I see…”

Fang Qiu pondered for a moment. Then he exhaled softly and said, “It doesn’t matter if the conference starts early or on time. I’m afraid of a delay.”

“You brat.”

Xu Miaolin glared at Fang Qiu and said, “You fooled me the year before last. You’re in good health. If you really had a problem with your health, you wouldn’t be so lively.”

Fang Qiu smiled awkwardly.

He didn’t expect Xu Miaolin to still remember this.

“I don’t know how you did it, but you seem to have a lot of secrets.”

Xu Miaolin looked straight at Fang Qiu. Although he didn’t ask, he obviously wanted to see through Fang Qiu.

“That’s my privacy…”

Fang Qiu smiled embarrassedly.

However, his heart had sunk.

“No matter what, don’t put off the conference!

“By the way, old master, where are you now?”

Thinking of the old master, he became even more worried.

Didn’t he study traditional Chinese medicine in order to participate in the medical conference and find a way to cure the old master?

Now, the sudden change in the conference made him a little flustered.

Fortunately, with Xu Miaolin as his teacher, he could be informed about the issues related to the conference as soon as possible.

After the meal, they chatted for a while.

Then Fang Qiu got up to say goodbye.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

As soon as he walked out of the community, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and had a look.

It was a call from Director Chen Xiaogang.

“Hello, Director Chen?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Fang Qiu, this is Chen Xiaogang.”

From the other end of the line came Director Chen Xiaogang’s hearty laughter. He said, “I heard you went home.”

“I just returned to Jiangjing,” Fang Qiu said.

“Look, do you have time to come to the capital?”

Director Chen Xiaogang continued, “The script has been written. Why don’t you come over and have a look?”

“It’s been finished so soon?”

Confused, Fang Qiu asked, “It’s only been a few days, isn’t it?”

“We started working on the script a long time ago. In other words, Zhao Rulong started writing it on the very night when the show ‘Run Wild&Survive’ was aired. It’s been quite a while since then.”

After saying that, Chen Xiaogang was silent for a moment before saying, “I mainly want to talk to you about the action director.”

“Martial arts guidance is related to the quality of the whole movie, and most importantly, the action director we agreed on before remains to be unconvinced. He asked us why we replaced him with someone else, and after knowing the reason, he proposed to compete with you.”

After finishing his sentence, Chen Xiaogang smiled helplessly and continued, “I have filmed for so many years, and I know it’s not easy to build a network. In the future, I might need to cooperate with him more. After all, I have contacted him in advance before. It will be difficult to explain if I abruptly stop working with him. So… what do you think?”

“Okay!”

Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate at all. He speedily nodded and said, “I’ll go to the capital in two days. I’ll be there with the action director I recommended.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the capital.”

Chen Xiaogang was quick to express his satisfaction.

He was really afraid that Fang Qiu would not agree.

Since Fang Qiu had agreed, he had nothing to worry about. Everything would be decided based on their capabilities!

After hanging up the phone, Fang Qiu called He Gaoming with his true identity without delay.

“Hello, Miracle-working Doctor Fang.”

Soon, the phone was connected, and He Gaoming’s voice came from the other end of the line. He said, “Sorry, I’ve been busy taking my men to have fun recently. I don’t want to take up any work.”

“Are you sure?”

Fang Qiu was speechless. “Your men?”

But on the surface, he asked with a smile, “Are you sure you don’t want to make some extra money?”

“Extra money?”

Hearing that, He Gaoming suddenly became curious and then immediately asked, “What’s it?”

In fact, he had been thinking about making money recently.

He couldn’t just lead those guys to cultivate and do nothing.

At least he had to earn some money to make ends meet.

If he couldn’t even support himself, what was the point of cultivating?

More importantly, except for him, everyone who followed him had a family and needed a normal life.

They followed John Doe, but they should be free to make money apart from focusing on cultivation.

This was a money-oriented society.

If they couldn’t make money, how could they stay?

Therefore, he had been trying to make money recently.

In the beginning, the reason why he refused Fang Qiu directly was that the people following him were not qualified to be detectives. But if they could make extra money, that would be another story.

Because John Doe only told him to take these people to cultivate but didn’t give him any living expenses. Nor did he say how to take these people to make money. He Gaoming knew that John Doe was busy. As John Doe’s disciple, he would have to figure out this kind of thing himself.

Of course, although John Doe didn’t think about it, Fang Qiu had already had this in mind.

That was why he was determined to request a position for the action director from Chen Xiaogang.

His purpose was to let He Gaoming and his men make money!

“I’m going to act in a movie.”

Fang Qiu got straight to the point and said, “I need some action directors. Don’t say I don’t know anything about Wulin. I know you are from Wulin. You used to show off to me, so I thought of you first.”

“A movie?”

He Gaoming was stunned and then thought of the news that Fang Qiu was going to act in Chen Xiaogang’s new movie on the Internet. He promptly asked, “Is it the one about Hero Yang Yizhi?”

“Yes.”

Fang Qiu nodded at once.

“Are you kidding me?”

He Gaoming rolled his eyes and said, “Chen Xiaogang is a famous director. How could he possibly need some other action directors?”

“Tell me, are you in or out?” asked Fang Qiu as he pursed his lips.

“What’s your offer?” He Gaoming asked forthwith as he heard that it seemed to be true.

“Not low.”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “At least several hundred thousand, but you have to beat another action director to get it.”

“Beat?”

When He Gaoming heard that, he suddenly chuckled and said, “So you called me because you didn’t want Chen Xiaogang’s action director?”

“What, are you scared?” asked Fang Qiu, smiling.

“Are you kidding? He’s the one who’s scared.”

He Gaoming snorted and added, “Those so-called action directors are just capable of doing something fancy. I can do that too!”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Okay. Let me remind you one more thing. You’d better get the best man you know and play it safe.”
