Medical Master

Fang Qiu was waiting to board the plane at the airport.

He took the time to use his phone to surf the Internet, searching for news related to the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor because he wanted to know what the netizens’ focus was.

As a result, he found something unexpected.

More than eighty percent of the search result was about Jiang Mengjie.

“Jiang Mengjie once again took the first place. Most likely, she will be the biggest winner of the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor!”

“Jiang Mengjie, Goddess of Chinese Medicine, became a champion candidate for the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor with her super strength!”

“The glory of Jing Bei, the most likely candidate to be the champion of the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, Jiang Mengjie!”

“Jiang Mengjie is becoming increasingly popular and has great potential. Perhaps she can be Fang Qiu’s equal!”

On the Internet, four out of the five segments of news related to the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor were about Jiang Mengjie. From this, Jiang Mengjie’s popularity was quite evident.

However, Fang Qiu found that his name was also mentioned in many of the news releases and headlines.

He felt helpless about it.

During this period, he had been trying his best to keep a low profile because he wanted to be out of the limelight as soon as possible by minimizing his popularity. However, he didn’t expect that the online We Media and news editors were not willing to let him go at all. They would highlight or include his name whenever they came across topics related to him.

“How can I become less popular?”

Fang Qiu smiled wryly.

He continued to browse the Internet.

He discovered amazingly that Jiang Mengjie’s popularity had risen considerably. Recently, she enjoyed enormous attention, and some people had even invited her to star in a movie.

Her popularity was even more widespread than Fang Qiu after he won the championship last season.

Of course.

Fang Qiu was well aware of part of the reason behind the difference.

The second season would certainly be much more popular on the Internet than the first. After all, when the first season had just been broadcast, people were still waiting to see the prospects of the show. Therefore, there was little inducement for many media reporters to compile news articles for the show at the very beginning.

When the first season went viral, the second season attracted a lot of attention at the very start. This show became a slice of attraction for the online We Media and every major news platform. These organizations would never miss this chance.

Thus, whether through network publicity or news media publicity, the second season was much better than the first, which directly garnered more attention for the second season. Fang Qiu didn’t participate in the whole recording of the second season, but he took part in it. Needless to say, Fang Qiu’s fans would follow the show.

At first, Fang Qiu had to face the first season’s audience, news outlets, and news reports. In contrast, contestants now had to cope with the second season’s viewers, the mass media, news reports, and more.

In this case, it was normal for Jiang Mengjie to attract so much attention. After all, the second season was the prime period of this show. After a few more seasons, the show might be on a downward trajectory.

“This girl inadvertently entered the golden era.”

Seeing Jiang Mengjie’s popularity on the Internet, Fang Qiu smiled knowingly.

In his opinion, this was what she deserved totally.

After all, she was such a hard-working girl!

“However…”

While feeling happy for Jiang Mengjie, Fang Qiu couldn’t help sighing with emotion, “I hope my kind and lovely old school friend would stay true to herself. The entertainment circle, after all, is different from other circles. There are excessive ostentatious displays. She may get lost in it if she isn’t cautious enough.”

It was what this world was like.

Fang Qiu didn’t like to maintain a high profile. In addition, there were many other reasons why he didn’t want to enter the entertainment circle. No matter how nice a person was, it was very likely that he would miss his real self under the influence of these reasons.

Fang Qiu behaved with perfect composure throughout because he had attained a lofty realm of thought. As a guru, he had already taken everything lightly. No ordinary person could obtain a level of thinking comparable to his.

Moreover, the most attractive part of the entertainment circle was the fame and fortune…

Wealth?

Fang Qiu didn’t care at all. He didn’t need to care about it because he had plenty of money!

Fame and fortune?

Fang Qiu couldn’t wait to get away from the fame and wealth circuit.

But both were overwhelming attractions in the eyes of ordinary humans!

After all, Jiang Mengjie was an ordinary person who couldn’t escape from the clutches of such an enticement.

Therefore, Fang Qiu hoped that Jiang Mengjie could hold on to herself and not change due to fame or gain.

Although he had such an idea in his heart, Fang Qiu did not intend to tell Jiang Mengjie about it. It was not inappropriate for Fang Qiu to try and control someone else’s life.

After waiting for about half an hour, Fang Qiu finally boarded the plane.

Fang Qiu had been wearing a mask and a cap in case his appearance should cause a disturbance. After all, he was quite famous now.

However…

On the plane, a stewardess kept looking at him because he was wearing a mask.

From time to time, she would cast discreet glances at him.

She seemed to have discovered something. But because Fang Qiu had been wearing a mask all the time, she was not sure.

The stewardess didn’t disturb Fang Qiu. Instead, after doing all her routine jobs, she checked the passenger list and found that this man was really Fang Qiu.

The plane entered its smooth flight period.

Fang Qiu picked up an eye patch and was about to rest. Suddenly, a stewardess strode toward Fang Qiu with a piece of paper and a pen in her hand.

“What the hell, again?”

This scene reminded Fang Qiu of the incident last time when another stewardess had thrust a piece of paper and pen at him on the plane.

He had often been teased by others about that experience, which made that shameful incident even more unforgettable in his heart. It was really humiliating.

Fang Qiu recalled his previous experience.

He could only keep praying in his heart that this stewardess wouldn’t ask him to examine her like the last time!

Feeling extremely nervous, Fang Qiu watched her approach him and hand him the piece of paper and pen.

Then she walked away.

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

“Why does this process seem so familiar?

It was the same as the last time. Without saying anything, that stewardess handed him a note.

“Let me take a look.”

Fang Qiu opened the note with a wry smile.

When he saw the words on the note, he was suddenly relieved from his anxiety.

“Nothing serious.”

With a soft sigh of relief, Fang Qiu smiled slightly and quickly wrote down his name in the blank space with the pen.

That was right.

She just wanted his autograph.

The words on the paper were very fine.

She could only communicate with Fang Qiu in this way because she had to follow the rules as one of the flight crew.

Fang Qiu was quite different from before.

Now, he was the highest-grossing actor in Huaxia!

He played the leading role in the top-grossing movie in Huaxia and could be regarded as a top-notch star in the entertainment circle.

She couldn’t bear the consequences if she accidentally leaked Fang Qiu’s information and caused an uproar in the cabin!

Fang Qiu finished signing his name on the note.

Then he turned his head and looked around.

From behind, the stewardess came out with a drinks trolley.

Whenever she stopped at a passenger’s side, she would bow with a smile and ask in a low voice.

Fang Qiu didn’t press her.

When the flight attendant arrived, he smiled and returned the pen and note to her.

“Thank you.”

She smiled sweetly, put away the pen and note with Fang Qiu’s signature, and whispered in a soft voice, “What would you like to drink?”

“A glass of water, please.”

Fang Qiu replied.

“Okay.”

The stewardess nodded. After pouring a glass of water for him, she nodded again to thank Fang Qiu. Then she pushed the drink cart and walked to the next passenger.

“Phew…”

Fang Qiu downed the water in the glass and let out a short breath. After putting the eyeshade on his eyes, he leaned against the chair back and began to rest.

It took him three and a half hours to travel from Beijiang to the capital.

The plane flew smoothly the rest of the way, so Fang Qiu had a good rest.

He had raced to control the ancient ruin in Zangjiang and didn’t sleep for a few days; in addition, he had used up a great deal of internal Qi in several battles. Although he had obtained some items, he had to find an opportunity to make up for his physical consumption.

Fang Qiu was an excellent doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.

He knew full well that sleeping could help him recuperate besides taking nourishing food.

Therefore, the three and a half hours of deep sleep refreshed him. When the plane landed at the capital airport, Fang Qiu opened his eyes and woke up, feeling refreshed.

Fang Qiu got off the plane.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Right after he canceled the flight mode, his cell phone rang.

He took a closer look.

It was a call from Director Li Huawen again.

“Hello, Director Li?”

Fang Qiu hurriedly answered the phone.

“How is it? Is my timing correct?”

Li Huawen’s laughter came from the other end of the line. “I found out the arrival time of your flight. It seems that your plane wasn’t delayed in the slightest, ha-ha.”

“Yes, it wasn’t.”

Fang Qiu answered with a smile.

On the way to the airport in Beijiang, Fang Qiu called Li Huawen, telling him he was going to the capital. Fang Qiu didn’t expect Li Huawen to remember his arrival time and call him as soon as he got off the plane.

“Have you come out yet?”

Li Huawen asked.

“Not yet. I just turned my phone on, and you called me.”

Fang Qiu smiled and said, “But it won’t take long. I’ll be out soon.”

“Okay, I’m waiting for you outside the airport.”

Li Huawen responded and hung up the phone.

Three minutes later, Fang Qiu walked out of the airport and spotted a familiar car on the roadside in front of the airport.

It was Director Li Huawen’s car.

Fang Qiu got in the car.

He looked at Director Li Huawen in great surprise and said, “Director Li, how could you pick me up in person? I’m so honored.”

“Is that so?”

Director Li Huawen laughed and said, “I am counting on you to raise the viewers’ ratings. How can I not treat you well?”

“No, thanks.”

Fang Qiu shook his head vigorously and said while waving his hands, “I’m not that important.”

“Not that important, seriously? Bro, you are severely underestimating your popularity!”

Director Li Huawen shook his head and said, “Even if you’re not that important, you’re much more popular than the ordinary celebrities with many followers on social media. Don’t you know that you’re the most popular person in the entertainment circle now?”

“Honestly, you don’t have a team or anyone to help and protect you. You must be careful when you go out alone. Try not to appear in public as much as possible. Otherwise, you will cause a large-scale uproar.”

Fang Qiu smiled wryly and said, “It’s been more than a month. Why are they still so interested in me?”
