A large crowd soon gathered at the gate of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.
“We want to see Fang Qiu.”
“Fang Qiu is back. We know that! We’re looking for him. We need the doctor!”
“Yes! We’re here to see the doctor! If Fang Qiu doesn’t come out, we won’t leave.”
“Yes, we will stay here until we see Fang Qiu.”
A swarm of people clustered around the once quiet and peaceful school entrance.
Before they stood many security guards, standing by vigilantly.

The bunch of boisterous fans almost drove them mad.
“Fang Qiu didn’t come back. He is really not here!”
The security captain explained frankly to this large group of people, “We have been standing guard at the school entrance all the time. If Fang Qiu came back, we would definitely know, but we haven’t seen him for several months.”
“We don’t believe it.”
A fan said, “We went to pick him up at the airport this morning, and we personally witnessed his arrival into Jiangjing. In this city, he has no other place to go, so this school would be his only choice. He’s definitely in this school.”
“No. He didn’t come back.”
The security captain, with a resigned look, continued explaining earnestly, “Since the school year began, anyone who enters or exits our school must register their names. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the guard room and check it out. We have a record of everyone’s entry and exit movements for today. Truthfully, Fang Qiu did not turn up today.”
“To prevent us from seeing him, you definitely would not keep a record of his movements. We don’t believe it at all. Fang Qiu must be in the school.”
The fans wouldn’t let the matter go.
Looking at these avid fans, the security guards struggled to cope with them and felt very overwhelmed.
Just as the security guards and these fans were locked in a stalemate, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from a distance.
Everyone immediately turned to see who was coming.
It was the captain-in-chief in charge of all security teams and Chen Yinsheng, the Vice President of the school!
“Captain-in-chief, finally, you’ve invited Vice President Chen here.”
The security captain immediately ran over to report, “I really can’t handle this crowd. Fang Qiu did not return to our school today, but they just don’t believe my words and insisted that Fang Qiu is in the school. I can’t stop them.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Chen Yinsheng answered with a smile, “Don’t let it bother you. Let me take care of the rest.”
After that, he immediately went up and said to the group of Fang Qiu’s fans, “Hello, everyone. I’m Chen Yinsheng, the Vice President of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.”
“Although our campus is open to the public, we have fairly standard and strict rules to adhere to. So, please don’t break the rules and disturb the peace. I’m definitely not advocating that you trespass into certain restricted places without permission.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fans immediately began to protest.
“What the hell? What do you mean? We’re here to look for someone. Oh, that’s not right. Actually, we’re here to see the doctor! We didn’t break in.”
“Yes, we didn’t. We’re here for Fang Qiu.”
“We don’t mind signing in. Besides, we won’t barge in. Otherwise, we would be inside your campus now, not outside.”
“We just want to see Fang Qiu. It will be fine if you ask him to come out. If that doesn’t work, you can let us go in and look for him by ourselves. We guarantee that we won’t affect your orderly campus life.”
“Fang Qiu must be in your school. Please let us see him! We need him to treat our illnesses!”
The fans pleaded with him, one after another.
“Treat your illness…”
For a moment, Chen Yinsheng was struck dumb. “Your voice is like a great bell! How could you be sick?”
“Okay, okay, okay. I understand how eager you all are to see Fang Qiu. But please listen to me first.”
He raised his hand so everyone could quieten down. After everyone stopped talking, he said, “Fang Qiu is a student of our university. We all know that Fang Qiu always conducts himself well. He manages his affairs very well and I believe his fans are just like him.”
This time, his words made the fans a little embarrassed.
They suddenly realized that it seemed a little brash for them to do this. Not only did they humiliate themselves, but they also brought disgrace to Fang Qiu.
“Nevertheless, it was not my intention to put the blame on everyone for your actions today. After all, I know very well that Fang Qiu’s movie is a big hit at the cinema. It’s understandable that you are all eager to see your idol, let alone he is such a high-quality idol.”
Chen Yinsheng flexibly made use of the famous carrot and stick theory, and instantly won the fans’ trust.
These fans were at a loss about what to do next, to hold on or to give up. In the end, out of guilt, they decided to leave. However, Chen Yinsheng smiled and said, “Actually, you’re right. Fang Qiu was at school earlier.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately perked up again.
The security guards and the entrance guards looked stunned!
“Was Fang Qiu back?
“Why didn’t we see him?”
“But it was some moments ago that I saw him.”
Chen Yinsheng said with a kind smile, “He sneaked in, as he did not dare to come in through the front gate. He left some time ago. If you don’t believe me, I can let everyone into the school to look for him, but you must promise me that you won’t affect the normal routine of the school. You should not disturb any of our students who are studying. No one is allowed to make a sound in the teaching building.”
“Great.”
“We promise you.”
“Yes, we promise.”
The fans readily agreed.
“With everyone’s guarantee, I’m relieved. I believe that Fang Qiu’s fans are all gentle and well-behaved. You won’t disappoint Fang Qiu or me,” Chen Yinsheng said.
When everyone heard this, they nodded in unison.
The fans knew from his words that Fang Qiu must have likely left. Even if he didn’t leave, he would have found a place to hide. But still, they didn’t want to give up this last chance. They had to go in and search for him.
These fans belonged to Fang Qiu’s fan club, which was well-organized, so they were not an undisciplined lot. Under the leadership of a leading fan, they all went into the school to search for Fang Qiu. Everything went well because they cooperated well with Chen Yinsheng’s requests. Though there were a lot of people, they did not affect the routine of the university at all.
Soon, they finished taking a turn around the campus, but no one found Fang Qiu. They carefully asked many students, none of whom had spotted Fang Qiu.
In this case, Fang Qiu’s fans then glumly left the university.
Seeing these people leave, these security guards finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Yinsheng, still wearing a smile, looked quite relaxed as if this incident had not affected him in the least.
“Vice President, you really have the foresight to predict their actions. Fang Qiu’s fans were surprisingly well behaved,” the captain-in-chief praised.
“I believed in them so they kept their promise.”
Chen Yinsheng said with a smile, “Besides, there won’t be the next time.”
“What do you mean?”
The captain-in-chief asked curiously.
“I let them enter the campus because I wanted to prove that Fang Qiu was not in our university. Most of all, I wanted them to feel the literary atmosphere here and understand the ambiance of this place. I emphasized several times that Fang Qiu’s fans were well-behaved. Since they were all very orderly, they must be part of an organization and would contact each other at ordinary times.”
“Today, I praised them and let them enter our university to have a look. When they go back, they will spread the news to others and will inform others that our university is an off-limit place, not somewhere they can just go in or out at will.”
“In this way, even if some of them come to see Fang Qiu again in the future, they will wait for him at the school gate at most and will not barge in again.”
With that, Chen Yinsheng turned around and left with a smile.
The captain-in-chief listened attentively and was utterly stunned. Gazing at Chen Yinsheng’s receding figure, he muttered, “No wonder you’re the Vice President. I’m just a security guard.”
…
After making a swift escape from his university, Fang Qiu put on a mask and a hat, and then booked a special car to the airport. He had decided to rush back to the cultivation base in Beijiang. Only when his popularity died down a little would he consider going to other places.
Fang Qiu successfully arrived at the airport.
He didn’t dare to show up at all. Right after getting the ticket, he hurriedly went to the departure lounge to wait and lost no time in getting on the plane, for fear of causing another disturbance at the airport. As soon as he boarded the plane, he began to rest with his mask still in place.
He had been under a lot of stress all this while.
After a few hours, Fang Qiu finally arrived at Beijiang Airport.
He had sent his flight information to the staff of the cultivation base in advance. Thus, after getting off the plane, Fang Qiu got into the car specially sent for him and rushed all the way to the cultivation base.
When he sat in the car, Fang Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief. After taking off his mask and hat, he felt completely relaxed.
Meanwhile, the movie “Yang Yizhi” was still very popular. On Monday and Tuesday, the widely-known sore point in the movie industry, its box office takings showed no signs of increasing. However, after that, the box office income soared at an astonishing speed.
In this case, “Yang Yizhi” had become the most unique and outstanding movie among those movies produced in the past ten years, the golden era of the movie industry in Huaxia.
Generally, in addition to some specific countries and regions, those movie markets in many foreign countries despised the Huaxia-language movie market. It was because they thought Huaxia movies were nothing to look forward to and were not worth watching. Therefore, Huaxia movies were only accepted in limited areas around the world.
In the past ten years, the Huaxia movie market had experienced very rapid growth. Almost all the foreign movie markets and foreign investment companies had noticed the great change. Previously, many Huaxia stars had been invited to perform in some foreign movies in order to increase the popularity of those foreign-language movies in Huaxia. Even so, few foreigners had been interested in Huaxia movies. But this time, “Yang Yizhi” made a difference, especially after those foreigners learned about the terrifically beneficial ripple effect caused by its explosive box office returns.
All the major movie investment companies from the foreign countries wanted to get full ownership of this movie.
In Huaxia, it was the first movie to win such an honor!
Of course, Fang Qiu didn’t know that “Yang Yizhi” had caused such a stir worldwide. At this moment, he had just gotten out of the car and returned to the cultivation base.
On the way back, Fang Qiu heard that He Xue’s independent office had been built, so he immediately went to the office after returning to the base.
It was built next to Fang Qiu’s office.
There was nothing he could do about it.
After all, they were on a cultivation base. There were no company buildings, so they could only set up independent rooms as their offices.
“This office is not bad.”
Walking into He Xue’s office, Fang Qiu said with a smile.
However, He Xue was gathering up his stuff and seemed about to leave.
