Chapter 921 - The Action Director Wants a Competition! (1/2)

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.
