Chapter 1526 - 1526 Appreciate Banquet

After dinner…

When everyone was still immersed in the wine and cuisine, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu left the party together and strolled around in this city, which they were not familiar with.

“How about we take a walk on the city wall?”

As soon as they walked out of the restaurant, Fang Qiu asked with a smile.

“Great.”

Jiang Miaoyu held Fang Qiu’s arm and smiled happily.

It had been a long time since she hang out with Fang Qiu like this. It was not easy to find such an opportunity today.

“Are you relaxed now?”

As they walked, Jiang Miaoyu said, “I had no clue what you were doing before. Until you told me what you had done, and I joined the team to start working, I finally understood how heavy a burden you’ve been carrying during the past two years.”

“You mean here?” Fang Qiu pointed to his back.

He said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Your hubby is an indomitable man. Such a little pressure can’t suppress me. Look at me, I don’t even bend my waist.”

“That’s true though.”

Jiang Miaoyu shook her head and said, “But I hardly imagine that you have suffered so much. You have been working hard for this goal step by step all the time, and each step you take is so heavy because the burden on you is too heavy.

“If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have gone to Comores to provide medical assistance but stayed to help you in Huaxia. Maybe that would have made it a little easier for you.”

“If you had stayed, you wouldn’t have been yourself.”

Fang Qiu reached out to touch Jiang Miaoyu’s head and said dotingly, “Even if you had stayed, you would have made some time to fulfill your wish. I don’t wish you to be absent when I have made some achievements.”

Jiang Miaoyu smiled happily and said, “It’s fine now.

“Chinese Medicine has successfully stepped onto the international stage, and it has been recognized by so many countries. Huaxianese people are proud of Chinese Medicine, and the medicated diet has become so popular. I am sure that Chinese Medicine will develop rapidly soon.”

“Yes, indeed.” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.

He heaved a long sigh of relief and said, “It’s not until now that I finally can feel relaxed.”

As they talked…

They walked up the city wall.

The city wall was like the Great Wall. They strolled along it with a breeze, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

“Thank you for your hard work,” said Jiang Miaoyu.

She finally saw a trace of relaxation on Fang Qiu’s face.

“It’s a must unless doing nothing.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “After all, everyone has limited strength. Luckily, I’ve finally stirred up this momentum. I can’t do it alone for the rest, so I need everyone to work hard together.”

“Sure, we will.”

Jiang Miaoyu held Fang Qiu’s arm, leaned her head on Fang Qiu’s shoulder, and said with her other hand clenched into a fist.

“Umm.” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.

Then he asked, “Is there anything else you wish to do?”

“Yes, there is.”

Jiang Miaoyu nodded without thinking. She said, “I do have some ideas. I wouldn’t have the nerve to say it if you didn’t mention it.”

“Oh?”

Fang Qiu was stunned and then urged, “Tell me about it. I’m all ears.”

“In my opinion, the foundation can also do some charity projects in addition to running the super online store and the countryside clinics.”

Jiang Miaoyu said, “After all, the foundation itself is a charity project. We can steadily run the two projects that we are working on now. So there should be no problem with adding another charity project. And meanwhile, we can put the charity into practice and enable everyone to see our actions so as to attract more people interested in doing charity to support us.”

“Is there a project in your mind?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“Mm.”

Jiang Miaoyu nodded. She explained, “It’s a small project, which is targeted at assisting the elderly and children in some mountainous areas. So far, we can help people in rural areas, but it’s challenging for us to assist those who lived in the isolated mountainous areas.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

Indeed…

Jiang Miaoyu was right.

Leprosy Village in Nanjiang was a classic example.

If Fang Qiu hadn’t been there in person, he could have never seen the poor living conditions of the villagers there, and there wouldn’t have been those charity projects.

Even though the 60,000 clinics had been designated in the rural areas across Huaxia, how many of them could actually be stationed in those remote mountainous areas?

Most of them were designated in ordinary villages.

After all…

It required connected roads.

As for the mountainous areas that Jiang Miaoyu mentioned, many places even had no road. It would take a few hours or even a day to get to those places on foot.

People living in those places were in need of help!

“As for the elders and children in those places, when they got ill, most probably, they had to endure it, and if they can’t, they have to take herbal medicine because they can’t buy medicine anywhere at all. Therefore, I wish to do check-ups for them as medical assistance, enabling them to come out of those remote places to see the outside world.

“To ensure the elderly’s basic lives and health!”

Jiang Miaoyu explained.

“Excellent.”

Hearing Jiang Miaoyu’s plan, Fang Qiu agreed with a smile. He said, “I root for you. This charity project is indeed necessary. If you want to do it, just go ahead.”

“Great.”

Jiang Miaoyu immediately nodded with a smile.

After strolling on the city wall for a while, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu returned to the restaurant.

When they got there…

They saw those who did not get the reservation of the private rooms lining up in front of the restaurant. After all, there were plenty of rich people in the ancient capital.

Seeing that everyone had eaten their fill…

Fang Qiu invited all staff to visit the ancient city.

The staff had never been here before, so everyone went with Fang Qiu to visit the ancient city together curiously. They had a great time along the way.

It was about three o’clock in the afternoon.

The staff headed for the airport and was about to go back to Beijiang and continue their work, and Fang Qiu was going back to the capital.

At the airport…

Fang Qiu was supposed to see the staff off, but unexpectedly, the flight to the capital departed earlier than that to Beijiang, so it changed to everyone seeing off Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu, who had always been seeing off someone else, couldn’t get used to it.

Actually…

Fang Qiu wished to go back to Beijiang with them.

However, with a second thought, he felt that something was not right.

The medicated diet was already very popular now, but Fang Qiu wanted to make it more popular.

The appreciation banquet for the employees had come to an end successfully. Next, Fang Qiu was planning to thank his friends in the entertainment industry.

After all…

When the super online store was first established, those friends all reposted it.

However, it was not so easy to make an appointment with celebrities in the entertainment industry. Fang Qiu called them one by one to confirm that everyone was in the capital. It was because some of them couldn’t leave the capital for now, so Fang Qiu had to set an appointment in the medicated diet restaurant in the capital.

In the beginning…

Several celebrities said they were too busy to come politely, claiming that they would treat Fang Qiu another day or something like that. However, when they heard that Fang Qiu was going to invite them to have a medicated diet, they immediately promised that they would be there on time.

The medicated diet was too attractive to them.

They could afford it, but they couldn’t get a reservation.

As celebrities, it was not up to them to decide their schedules. Plus, the medicated diet restaurant was extremely popular that it was very difficult to reserve a table. Even if they luckily got the reservation, it happened to conflict with their work time, so they felt speechless.

They were eager to taste the medicated diet, but they could not make the reservation.

To their surprise…

Fang Qiu actually did it.

Of course, they wouldn’t miss this rare opportunity.

Anyway, they were in the capital. No matter how busy they were, they could make time for a meal.

After the appointment was set…

Fang Qiu called He Xue and asked her to help arrange it.

Surprisingly…

He Xue nailed it soon.

Fang Qiu didn’t even know how He Xue managed to get it done. After all, the popularity of the medicated diet restaurant in the capital was well-known across Huaxia. Even the internal employees could not get a table reserved.

Fang Qiu wondered if He Xue had forcibly canceled some customers’ reservations.

After getting off the plane…

Fang Qiu called He Xue directly.

“You didn’t drive away the customers who have reservations, did you?”

Fang Qiu asked as soon as the phone was connected.

“Do you think I am that kind of person?”

He Xue curled her lips and said, “Don’t worry. Even if you don’t have a table, I won’t do anything bad to the customers to affect the reputation of the restaurant.”

“Then how did you nail it?”

Fang Qiu asked quickly.

“I reserve a private room for you.”

He Xue said, “When the restaurant first started the business, Yang Ningyuan called me to complain that he couldn’t take care of the business in the restaurant because no private room was available. At that time, I remembered there were two places reserved for two private rooms when the restaurant was under renovation. I intended to keep them for other usages. However, being reminded by Yang Ningyuan, I asked someone to fix them for our internal usage.

“Coincidently, when I received your call, I called and asked how it was going, and they told me it was all decorated. So I arranged it for you.”

Hearing that…

Fang Qiu smiled, “I didn’t expect you to have such a backup plan. You deserve to be our executive director.”

After the phone call…

Fang Qiu first arrived at the medicated diet restaurant.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Fang Qiu went straight to the VIP room as mentioned by He Xue. He took a seat and looked around, noticing that the decoration in this room is the same as that of other private rooms, and nothing felt unfitting.

He didn’t order the food.

Instead, Fang Qiu took a large pot of alcohol and was ready to welcome his guests.

At six o’clock in the evening…

His friends who had received the invitation were all here.

The film director, Chen Xiaogang, and the scriptwriter, Zhao Rulong, were the first to arrive, followed by Director Li Huawen, then Song Yaqi, and the hosts of the variety show headed by Liu Qingshi.

Fang Qiu greeted them in person at the door.

Fortunately, the table was large enough.

When everyone was here, Fang Qiu personally felt their pulse before recommending the dishes. After that, he asked the cooks to make all the recommended dishes.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, they began to chat with each other.

“By the way, Fang Qiu.”

Chen Xiaogang said to Fang Qiu, “Our online drama is about to be released. Would you please make some time to participate in our publicity event?”

“Well, forget about it, Director Chen.”

Fang Qiu quickly forced a smile, shook his head, and said, “I’ve been swamped recently. Moreover, I’ve just played a guest role in this online drama, not the protagonist. I’m afraid that I’ll steal the limelight of the protagonist if I participate in it.”

Hearing that…

Chen Xiaogang did not know what to say but shook his head.

He couldn’t refute it because Fang Qiu was right.

Just then…

“Now that everyone is so happy, I also have an announcement to make.”

Director Li Huawen said with a smile, “The ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’ season 3 is about to be released!”
