Chapter 1199 Two Women Stunned Beyond Compare

The celebration banquet was held in a five-star hotel that many prominent officials and eminent personages often visited.

The livestream was over.

Director Li Huawen immediately took everyone to that hotel.

Regardless of the result and the ratings, this banquet was an indispensable part of the celebration. So, the wine and food were all ready when the group appeared at the hotel.

When they entered the hotel, they indulged themselves in drinking and dining.

At the banquet, everyone was in high spirits.

Director Li Huawen was exceedingly delighted. Whenever their eyes met, he would nod continuously at Fang Qiu.

During this season, Jiang Mengjie attracted much public attention. But even though she became famous through the show, she was not as popular as Fang Qiu. Therefore, the attention and ratings she attracted were far less than what Fang Qiu brought to them.

That was indeed the case.

The viewing rate of the last episode of the livestream ill.u.s.trated the big difference: Fang Qiu’s appearance raised the average audience rating considerably.

Even so, the viewing rate was much lower than the previous season’s.

If it weren’t for Fang Qiu, the ratings wouldn’t have been so high.

Therefore, they should thank Fang Qiu for this success.

Fortunately, Fang Qiu had a grateful heart.

This show brought him honor and a reputation, so he felt grateful for this program and willingly gave his support during any critical moments.

During the meal, everyone praised and congratulated each other with enthusiasm. It was quite a lengthy affair and didn’t end until two o’clock in the morning.

Director Li Huawen was so immensely excited that he was utterly drunk. He had to be taken away by the staff.

The a.s.sistant director intended to send Fang Qiu back to the hotel on behalf of Director Li Huawen but gave up this idea when he saw Jiang Miaoyu and Jiang Mengjie.

They walked out of the hotel together.

“Fang Qiu, see you then. We’ll have to send Director Li back first. You all haven’t drunk much, so you can take good care of yourselves on your way back.”

The a.s.sistant director said goodbye to Fang Qiu. “Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded and quickly helped some of the drunk staff into the cars.

As a champion, Jiang Mengjie got along well with the other contestants and sent everyone off in their taxis.

After seeing everyone off, only three people remained at the hotel door.

Fang Qiu, Jiang Miaoyu, and Jiang Mengjie!

The three of them looked at each other.

All of a sudden, they burst into laughter.

“How about this?”

Fang Qiu looked at the time and said to Jiang Mengjie, “Anyway, it’s two o’clock in the morning, too late for us to go back to sleep. I was focused on drinking earlier and didn’t eat much. How about I treat you to a late-night meal? Let’s celebrate your champions.h.i.+p together.”

“Sure.”

Jiang Mengjie agreed with a smile.

“Count me in .”

Jiang Miaoyu stood next to Fang Qiu and took the initiative to hold his arm.

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.

They took a taxi and came to a roadside stall which only had a few people around.

Jiang Miaoyu was responsible for ordering the dishes.

After all, she was much less popular. Jiang Mengjie was the hottest doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at present. Besides, Fang Qiu had become increasingly well-known because he played the leading part in Yang Yizhi. To avoid attracting any attention, they went straight to a private room.

Soon, their table was filled with a variety of dishes.

“Come on. Let’s enjoy the meal.”

Jiang Miaoyu picked up her chopsticks and said to Jiang Mengjie smilingly. “Well, you and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. This time, I heard you were very likely to become the champion, so I specially came with him to cheer for you. Finally, you won the champions.h.i.+p, and we feel very happy for you.”

Jiang Miaoyu stretched out her hand, taking the initiative to serve Jiang Mengjie some of the dishes, like a hospitable hostess.

“Thank you, please enjoy your food too.”

Jiang Mengjie was glad to accept her generous hospitality and began to eat happily.

The three of them ate and chatted.

On the surface, Jiang Miaoyu and Jiang Mengjie appeared to be very friendly with each other and got along very well. However, Fang Qiu, sandwiched between the two, felt incredibly fl.u.s.tered as if he were eating amid a battle. He was not afraid of a fight in the open but felt quite helpless when facing their veiled undercurrent of feelings.

“We drank too much just now. Let’s skip the drinks.”

Fang Qiu raised the teapot and poured three cups of tea.

As soon as he finished pouring the first cup, Jiang Miaoyu actively got up and put the tea on the table before Jiang Mengjie.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Mengjie thanked her with a gentle smile.

“Let me toast you with tea and congratulate you on winning first place.”

Fang Qiu raised his gla.s.s to congratulate Jiang Mengjie.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Mengjie also raised her gla.s.s and smiled. “I happen to have something to tell you. Since we’re out tonight, may I tell you now?”

“Sure, go ahead.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.

Beside him, Jiang Miaoyu was slightly stunned and listened with rapt attention.

“Here’s the thing.”

Jiang Mengjie said, laughing. “See, I’m also a Chinese Medicine student and have gained good grades in college. Now I’m lucky enough to become the champion of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor. When I return to school for the new semester, I’ll be a junior and will start my interns.h.i.+p soon. May I work as an intern at your place for some time?”

Jiang Mengjie glanced at Jiang Miaoyu deliberately and said, “I can work at either the foundation or the Desert Cistanche cultivation base.”

“Your third year is only just beginning.”

The unexpected request briefly made Jiang Miaoyu panic, and she hurriedly said, “You should study for a while first. Usually, you’ll have to consider the interns.h.i.+p during the second semester of your third year at the earliest. After all, you have just finished your soph.o.m.ore courses and haven’t yet learned the junior courses.”

“Yes, I should learn some courses first.”

Jiang Mengjie smiled faintly and said, “However, the professor from my school called me and asked me to start my interns.h.i.+p as soon as possible. People in my school have agreed that I can’t learn anything there. Only an advanced interns.h.i.+p can provide the room for further growth.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “The gratifying result you achieved in the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor is enough to prove your medical skills. If you can’t learn anything in school, you can come to practice at my sites at any time.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Mengjie didn’t stand on ceremony with Fang Qiu. She responded with a smile and didn’t even thank him.

Seated beside him, Jiang Miaoyu still looked delighted but secretly reached out to pinch Fang Qiu’s thigh hard, almost making Fang Qiu cry out in pain.

“When I come back from abroad, I also want to go for an interns.h.i.+p.”

Jiang Miaoyu made the same request.

“Okay, okay, okay. Sure.”

Fang Qiu repeatedly and hurriedly agreed.

The two women gave him a headache.

“But… Honestly… I have established more than a Desert Cistanche cultivation base.”

Fang Qiu confessed with a bit of embarra.s.sment.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Mengjie was stunned.

“Then what else do you have?”

Jiang Miaoyu asked.

“There is also a cultivation base for the Tianshan Snow Lotus and a Dendrobe cultivation base. Do you know the Immortal Holy Flowers Formula that’s on the market? Um, I was the one who came up with that.”

Fang Qiu told them the truth.

“Really?”

Jiang Mengjie was stricken dumb with amazement.

“And you have the cultivation bases for the Snow Lotus and Dendrobe?”

Jiang Miaoyu was also stupefied.

She knew Fang Qiu was running a company, was the one who came up the Holy Flowers Formula, and had specially brought a box to Comores for her. Nevertheless, she knew nothing about his cultivation bases for the Snow Lotus and Dendrobe.

“And that’s not all.”

Fang Qiu shook his head wryly and said, “In addition to what I’ve just said, I have another ident.i.ty: the biggest shareholder of the Renyi Group. That means I’m the Renyi Group’s current chairman!”

He stopped there.

The two ladies were instantly dumbfounded.

“The current chairman of the Renyi Group?

“He is the chairman who earns a hundred billion annually and has established a global business?”

The two women stared at him, frozen with shock.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu was the largest shareholder of the Renyi Group with an excellent reputation in the Chinese Medicine field, throughout the country, and even worldwide!

Of one accord, both of them digested the marvelous news in silence for a long time.

“What else?”

After taking a long time to accept the reality, Jiang Mengjie asked, “Tell us all at once. We can accept it.”

“Well…”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment, spread his hands, and said, “No more.”

He didn’t mention John Doe’s ident.i.ty because he didn’t dare to!

Jiang Miaoyu pinched Fang Qiu sharply a few more times.

She knew something about Fang Qiu but none of this, which made her feel embarra.s.sed in front of Jiang Mengjie. Without being aware of Fang Qiu’s status and ident.i.ty, she had been entertaining Jiang Mengjie as the hostess. What kind of hostess was she?

However…

Jiang Miaoyu was overwhelmingly shocked.

When she first met Fang Qiu when he was a freshman, he was a penniless student. After only two years, Fang Qiu had become so awesome. If all his ident.i.ties were made public, Fang Qiu might become the wealthiest person in the country!

The two ladies were still in a state of shock.

However, Fang Qiu’s eyebrows suddenly shot up and he turned to look out of the window, and immediately got up.

It was because he saw someone taking photos!

But as soon as he rose to his feet, the person turned around and disappeared into the night.

Fang Qiu was very speechless.

His brows furrowed ferociously.

It was precisely due to this kind of incident that he didn’t like to be a celebrity. It was almost three o’clock in the morning, but people were still stealthily taking his photos. He didn’t know what kind of news would be spread widely tomorrow and how much his popularity would decline!

Fang Qiu was at a loss about what to do.

He could have caught up with them instantly and destroyed all the photos if he wanted to.

However, he couldn’t resort to using his martial arts skills.

If he accidentally leaked the news that he knew martial arts, he could no longer hide his ident.i.ty as John Doe. At that time, his family and friends would be in danger because he had provoked too many people in Wulin!

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Fang Qiu’s strange action, Jiang Miaoyu asked hurriedly.

“Someone was secretly taking photos of us just now.”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “It’s three o’clock in the morning. How could they take photos so late at night? There will be a wave of turmoil when we get up tomorrow.”

The two women were stunned and laughed bitterly in unison.

They were in a private room in a restaurant at three o’clock in the morning, so they never expected to be photographed here. They were utterly lost for words!
