The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 899 - 898. Got sidetracked, eh?

This Shandong cuisine experience was quite peculiar.

As the two of them left the delicate little shop, patting their round bellies, the fiery red sunset spilled across the boundless sea, resembling an oil painting.

The two exchanged a glance and then both their gazes simultaneously shifted to the four takeout boxes in Jing Yu’s hands, and they burst into laughter. freēwēbnovel.com

"So how many points do I get?"

"What’s the full score, Mr. Jing?"

"How about out of ten?"

"Then eight points," Tang Shu said, rubbing her stuffed belly, "Those takeout boxes are worth at least two points."

"So—did I pass our first date?"

Jing Yu felt that this score wasn’t high, but it was a good start...

Tang Shu did not deny it, "But I have to say, that fat-reducing meal at noon was eaten in vain."

"..."

Considering the film crew of "Typhoon" coordinated seamlessly with each other, and the actors were all acquainted friends brought in by Director Xie, the five-day shoot in Weicheng went unexpectedly smoothly.

Five days later, everyone boarded the flight to the Imperial Capital; the remaining scenes would be finished in the suburban film and television city.

Once the plane landed, people streamed out of the terminal building one after another. Xie Yunqing found his luggage and sneakily approached Jing Yu while the others were not paying attention.

"Shall we share a ride? How about carpooling with Xiao Bei?"

Jing Yu stiffened his clutch on the sleeve of his left hand and pretended not to know him, "I don’t think so; my car is needed for other purposes."

Xie Yunqing followed his gaze, landing on Tang Shu who was nearby searching for her suitcase, and suddenly he understood everything.

"Look at my memory... I completely forgot about this matter. To be honest, you haven’t been very conspicuous these past few days—"

For five consecutive days, Jing Yu spent most of his time inside the resort hotel, living right next door. Miraculously, none of the more than twenty crew members noticed that their female lead was dating someone. Even Xie Yunqing himself, when busy, had pushed this cousin to the back of his mind.

This was simply illogical because someone like Jing Yu, from childhood to adulthood, has always been a bright presence, born to attract everyone’s attention.

"Are you sure you didn’t leave Weicheng these past few days? What were you doing during the day?"

If it weren’t for his lifelong belief in science, he would suspect his cousin wore an invisibility cloak.

"Online paperwork, video conferences."

Jing Yu pushed away the face in front of him, "Mind your image, Director Xie."

Screw the image, you’re about to ditch me!

Xie Yunqing brooded for a while, realized the person in front of him had no intention of relenting, sighed, and walked away.

"Emotions really are something that can make people lose their reason..."

Jing Yu, without a hint of guilt on his face, strode away with long steps, waiting until all the crew members had left the hall before heading toward the luggage storage area.

minutes later, Tang Shu and Yang Tiantian, both wearing masks, got into Jing Bei’s business vehicle. The latter, upon seeing her, blinked bewilderingly for a good while before snapping back to reality.

Afterward...

Tang Shu found that the seemingly furious young beauty, who appeared like she was ready to settle scores, instantly blossomed into a smile, looking at Jing Yu as if she saw a child who had finally seen the light.

What on earth is all this about?

Before Tang Shu could make heads or tails of it, her turned-on phone was bombarded with messages, incessantly chiming with notifications—like a relentless barrage.

In just two hours of being turned off, she’d received important messages from Shen Yan, Wen Nuan, Ren Xiazhi, and three from Professor Yu.

Thinking back, Tang Shu’s last visit to the university was to submit homework to her teacher; seeing the message from Professor Yu about the research results on the medicinal use of snow lotus and other herbs, this high-achieving student from Medical University became rarely serious, ensuring she would make a visit the following day.

The limited medicinal materials grown underneath Northwestern Cemetery, she truly didn’t want the researchers from the Medical College to make meaningless attempts.

Wen Nuan’s message was as brief as ever, a notification about the assessment results—she’d passed as expected. Due to the particularities of their professions, both she and Ren Xiazhi were managed by the Imperial Capital’s side.

But... when did she end up with the extra task of enhancing Ren Xiazhi’s physical fitness???

That’s, just, too, much!

Tang Shu sent a string of angry emoticons to her direct supervisor, and in just a few seconds, she got a response.

[Wen Nuan]: "I see you’re quite good at it, Xiao Chi said recently Qianyun and Junfeng have improved a lot in their skills, and he almost couldn’t hold them back several times."

[Wen Nuan]: "Plus, you did a good job training Xiaozhi during the assessment period. Looking after two is the same as looking after three, it’s just an extra bowl of rice."

To hell with the extra bowl of rice!

Was she now expected to pay for a young boy’s three meals a day? She never imagined having such a stingy boss.

[Tang Shu]: "Training is fine, but Xiao Xiazhi needs to help me with work."

[Wen Nuan]: "No problem, as long as there are no tasks, use him as you please."

This big shot didn’t hesitate to sell out her newly recruited subordinate.

Today, as always, the official website of Imperial Medical College was abuzz with activity.

As students pulled out their phones to casually browse the web after class, they suddenly noticed an ID on the homepage—[Roaming the length and breadth of the world, plucking every herb, President of the Adventure Club].

"Eh? This guy’s name is so long—"

"Quite flashy, huh? Is he trying to suffocate us in one go?"

"Shouldn’t our focus be on why the system didn’t impose a character limit on ID nicknames?"

"These days, it’s unbelievable someone’s nickname is in Chinese characters; half the nicknames in our class look like gibberish..."

"Drop the gibberish talk, if you don’t understand, just don’t spout nonsense. That’s clearly shorthand for Western medicine, handwritten at that!"

"Guys, aren’t we getting sidetracked? This ID is obviously more captivating because of the word ’Adventure’!"

"No, what I’m curious about is, why does this formerly unseen president suddenly appear on the official homepage? What exactly did he do?"

With a history of over a hundred years since Imperial Medical College was established, the number of students and alumni registered on the campus official website has exceeded several hundreds of thousands, making it a "large" site. There’s always a sizable number of people active on the site every day, and there are even sub-sections for traditional and Western medicine, entertainment, and other topics.

And because of the variety of the website’s sub-sections, it is tremendously difficult for any message to climb to the homepage—the ones that make it are big shots.

Especially when the name is so... unconventional.

Everyone was immensely curious.

A long ID name instantly attracted countless pairs of eyes. As people entered this president’s homepage driven by unprecedented curiosity, they found that eight videos had already been posted.
