Medical Master

Chapter 1026 Rest Assured, My Ass!

Jiang Mengjie, a sophomore at the Jingbei University of Chinese Medicine and Fang Qiu’s peer, had competed and performed well in the league match of the nine universities, thus drawing the attention of the major medical colleges. She was also a participant in the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, where she advanced to the next round with full marks both in the preliminary and second rounds of Jingbei District.

This information about Jiang Mengjie was available on the university’s official website.

An entertainment blogger also posted a photo—a composite image made up of numerous photos of Jiang Mengjie.

Since the topic “Fang Qiu’s Girlfriend” was currently trending, that Weibo post caught the attention of many netizens, who immediately reposted it.

Soon, it went viral on Weibo, and everyone was singing Jiang Mengjie’s praises.

“Wow, she’s so beautiful!”

“Is she really the same woman who was photographed with Fang Qiu? She looks much prettier in this photo than she did in the photos that were taken secretly.”

“That’s Jiang Mengjie? Are college students so beautiful nowadays?”

“This woman is indeed beautiful. She gives out this youthful aura that makes me want to protect her.”

“If I could get such a good-looking deskmate, I’d try to ask her out even though I know have no chance!”

Jiang Mengjie’s beauty won the hearts of the netizens the moment that Weibo post came out.

The photos that were secretly taken didn’t provide a clear view of Jiang Mengjie’s face because they were taken from afar, and also due to the cafe window separating Jiang Mengjia and the camera lens.

When the new photos of Jiang Mengjie’s face were posted, they became quite a contrast to the blurry photos taken in secret.

Just as all the netizens were talking about Jiang Mengjie, the students of the Jingbei University of Chinese Medicine were quick to make their voices heard.

“She’s the prettiest girl in our school!”

“Of course our campus belle is beautiful!”

“Jiang Mengjie became the campus belle the moment she enrolled in our university. She is still single now, but she belongs to our school. We won’t allow anyone to harass her!”

“What a beautiful woman! It would be a crime to not at least try to flirt with her.”

“I’d like her contact details.”

“This woman is mine. I’ll give her everything. Don’t fight with me.”

“She’s going to take part in the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor? In other words, I can see her on TV?”

“Originally, I wasn’t looking forward to watching this season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, but now I’m watching it again because of Jiang Mengjie.”

“I’m looking forward to Young Chinese Medicine Doctor as well.”

In addition to the numerous comments and messages asking for Jiang Mengjie’s contact details, everyone was well aware that Fang Qiu and Jiang Mengjie were not in a relationship, which made many people breathe a big sigh of relief!

Eventually, this extremely hot topic on Weibo became known to Jiang Miaoyu, who was abroad at this time.

Even though she was currently staying in Comores, Jiang Miaoyu had never stopped paying attention to the affairs back in her country. Any news about Fang Qiu would definitely appear on Weibo, that much she knew.

However, she had never expected to see a topic named “Fang Qiu’s Girlfriend” on Weibo.

Jiang Miaoyu had never left Comores, so she knew that her relationship with Fang Qiu would never be disclosed. If so, who was Fang Qiu’s so-called girlfriend?

When she clicked on the post, Jiang Miaoyu learned that Fang Qiu’s so-called girlfriend was none other than Jiang Mengjie!

Had it been any other woman, Jiang Miaoyu might have disregarded the post; but things were different when Jiang Mengjie was involved.

She still remembered what it was like, when meeting Jiang Mengjie for the first time. She even remembered the night Fang Qiu spent with Jiang Mengjie at the hotel.

Although she clearly knew there was nothing between them, she still felt uneasy!

This time, when she saw this kind of topic again, the sense of crisis inside that had disappeared for a long time resurfaced at once. At the same time, she felt irritated. How could Fang Qiu get a date with Jiang Mengjie when she was not around?

“Beep...”

Just as Jiang Miaoyu was sulking, her phone rang.

It was a call from Fang Qiu.

“Humph!” With a snort, Jiang Miaoyu hung up the phone and continued to browse the news on Weibo.

“Seriously?”

In the capital, Fang Qiu was sitting on the bed inside his hotel room. When he saw Jiang Miaoyu hang up the call, he was stunned briefly and then smiled bitterly.

He had been to Comores many times and had stayed there for a long time, so he knew Jiang Miaoyu’s living habits very well.

Since that country was impoverished, there were no recreation facilities there. There wasn’t even TV at the base of medical aid teams.

Hence, what Jiang Miaoyu did during her spare time was to read her books and browse Weibo on her phone.

That was why Fang Qiu called Jiang Miaoyu as soon as possible after posting the explanation on Weibo. He wanted to explain it to her in case of misunderstandings.

However, from the looks of it, Jiang Miaoyu had already seen the Weibo post, which pained him greatly.

He continued to dial the number.

The second call was hung up again.

He had no choice but to continue phoning!

Finally, the third call was picked up by Jiang Miaoyu after it rang for quite a while.

“Hello?” It was silent on the other end of the line. Fang Qiu was the first to speak. “What’s wrong? Are you not going to answer my call?”

Jiang Miaoyu said coldly, “No, I was busy just now, so I didn’t have time to answer my phone.”

“Really?” Fang Qiu wondered aloud.

Jiang Miaoyu asked faintly, “Which is more important? Saving the lives of my patients, or chatting with you?”

“All right, then.” Fang Qiu let out a bitter chuckle. “There’s something I need to tell you. I had dinner with Jiang Mengjie today. The paparazzi snapped a photo of us and posted it online.”

“Oh, I’ve seen it.” Hearing Fang Qiu confess voluntarily, Jiang Miaoyu felt a little better.

“Why didn’t you react when you saw it?” Fang Qiu stiffened slightly.

“What kind of reaction were you expecting from me?” Jiang Miaoyu asked.

“Aren’t you angry?” Fang Qiu ventured.

“Why should I be angry? Didn’t you post an explanation on Weibo? Isn’t she your old classmate and deskmate for three years? Besides, I know her, too!” Tempers inside of Jiang Miaoyu began to fray in an instant but she still uttered a series of words in a chilly way.

“I’m relieved that you feel that way.” Fang Qiu heaved a sigh of relief.

“You’re relieved?”

Jiang Miaoyu found herself struggling between exasperation and amusement at his response.

“Haven’t you noticed that I’m unhappy?”

“You’re relieved?”

“Relieved, my ass!”

Fortunately, she knew that her boyfriend was clueless about girls, otherwise, she would be blowing her top right now.

Fang Qiu kept on explaining, “In fact, it’s not a big deal. I was going to leave for Beijiang originally, but I remembered my promise to Director Li Huawen, which is to participate in the filming of the first episode of the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, so I chose to stay in the capital.

“This time, Mengjie also participated in the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, so she came from Jingbei to record the program as well. The crew told her that I was in the capital, so she invited me to dinner. We left separately after the meal. I never expected things to go crazy on the Internet. I wouldn’t have found out if Director Li Huawen hadn’t called.”

“I understand.” Hearing Fang Qiu take the initiative to explain and his seemingly nervous tone, Jiang Miaoyu felt less annoyed now. Dissatisfied as she was inwardly, she didn’t show it on her face. However, she still felt compelled to give her obtuse boyfriend a verbal warning.

“You should limit your interaction with women from now on. You’re a celebrity now so it’ll become big news if you interact with a woman. Besides, it’s easy for a rich man to become degenerate. Even if you refuse to be that, there will always be a lot of temptations sent to you. Although I trust you, it’s better to avoid such things.”

“As you wish.” Noticing Jiang Miaoyu’s softening tone, Fang Qiu nodded and promised without hesitation, “It won’t happen again!”

Then, he quickly shifted the topic and gently coaxed Jiang Miaoyu. It took him half an hour to cheer her up.

At the same time, there was another piece of news that astounded everyone on the Internet.

“The reason Jiang Mengjie appeared in the capital was to partake in the recording of the first episode of the second season of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor. According to the internal staff, the test maker in the first episode is just Fang Qiu. In this circumstance, would there be something fishy if the two met in advance before the official recording of the show? Would Fang Qiu secretly help his beautiful old classmate? Would he pull strings for Jiang Mengjie?”

As soon as the speculation exploded, it stirred the netizens’ imagination.

“Yeah. Why can’t they get together earlier or after the program recording? Why did they have to meet before the recording?”

“Will Fang Qiu leak the questions to Jiang Mengjie?”

“Though Jiang Mengjie was selected at the top of Jingbei District, the examination of the program is distinct from those of the first and second rounds. In this case, Jiang Mengjie probably asked Fang Qiu about it because she was stressed out.”

“No way. Fang Qiu is not the kind of person who will leak the questions.”

For a time, various rumors spread online.

As the director of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, Li Huawen also saw these rumors on the Internet in the first place.

Inside Central Television’s conference room. “What is this?” The reckless spread of the rumors online threw Li Huawen into a fit. He slapped the conference table indignantly and immediately said to the staff, “Hurry up and find out who did that. He is just discrediting our program, isn’t he?

“Give him the sack after finding out!

“Our program doesn’t need such an employee!”

Seeing that the director was incredibly angry, everyone quickly went to check.

It didn’t take long for them to find out the person behind it.

The perpetrator was indeed a young employee within the filming crew who liked to brag to his friends about his job. Yesterday, while he was out drinking with his friends, the young man let slip the news that Fang Qiu was the test maker.

Without any hesitation, the program group dismissed the young man as soon as he was exposed.

Director Li Huawen dialed Fang Qiu’s number the instant he fired the perpetrator. ????????????????????????d. ????????ｍ

“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“You’ve heard about the rumors on the Internet, I presume?” asked Director Li Huawen.

“Yes, ” Fang Qiu answered with a nod.

“What do you think we should do?” Director Li Huawen asked.

Now he couldn’t figure out what to do either. Originally, he designated Fang Qiu as the test maker, hoping that he would be photographed more to keep the show’s viewing rates high.

But now, if Fang Qiu continued to be the test maker as previously arranged, this matter would definitely be blown up out of all proportion by those netizens with malicious intent.

It would be troublesome if that were to happen.

“That’s easy,” Fang Qiu said, interrupting Li Huawen’s internal turmoil. “I’ll deal with it tomorrow during the filming!”
