Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1759 - 1762: The Handsome Young Man You Wanted Has Arrived

"Ximen Genshuo?" The makeup artist was a bit confused, but then she smiled, looking at Shen Qiang with the eyes of someone evaluating a newcomer, "Don't be nervous. From your appearance, you seem quite suitable for the role of Chu Liuxiang, so relax, everything is fine."Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang snapped back to reality. After all, Shen Qiang was a smart person. He was a bit dazed when he first arrived, thinking that entering a filming base required makeup first. But upon hearing the makeup artist's words, he instantly realized that the crew must have mistaken him for some actor.

And who is Chu Liuxiang?

A legendary figure from the work of the Great Grandmaster Gu Long, a mythical character, a night-time theft god, his orchid smile exudes elegance, calmness, and decisiveness. Known for being charming and intelligent, observant and kindhearted, incredibly talented in Qinggong, unrivaled in the world, his stories have been adapted numerous times in film and television.

Truly a classic legend on the screen.

This is definitely the leading role!

"Wait, wait, let me call before you start the makeup. Hold on!" Shen Qiang quickly stopped the makeup artist.

Then, under the makeup artist's puzzled gaze, Shen Qiang turned and left the makeup room, entering the restroom nearby.

Shen Qiang hasn't learned acting. Though he wouldn't mind playing a small role, this is clearly a big mix-up.

Once makeup was done, he'd have no idea what to say or do. For small roles, it's not a problem—just an extra in the background wouldn't cause any issues for Shen Qiang. But the problem is, even as a supporting character, Chu Liuxiang is at least the second male lead, and once he appears, the crew would definitely realize they've cast the wrong person.

If Shen Qiang got made up and went on stage, it would be extremely awkward when they realize.

If they asked, "Are you an actor?" How would Shen Qiang respond? "I don't know what's going on"? Aren't you aware if you're part of the crew or not?

It's not just embarrassing—it's pretty disgraceful.

Moreover, more importantly, Shen Qiang's new Elixir Pills have already been registered in Medicine King Valley, and in a few days, he'll have to head to Medicine King Valley. So his main purpose of coming here was to convince Song Weiyin not to lose her temper.

So playing along with the mix-up won't work. He directly dialed the number of the stunning actress Song Weiyin in the restroom.

Once connected, Shen Qiang heard Song Weiyin's cold voice: "Why are you calling me?"

Shen Qiang replied helplessly, "Well, I think there's some misunderstanding between us. I want to discuss it with you in person."

"No time." The stunning actress Song Weiyin refused directly and decisively, probably honed from dealing with too many suitors.

"When will you have time?" Shen Qiang asked.

Song Weiyin sounded displeased, "Ha, you're really something. We had a meeting scheduled, I waited for over three hours, and you didn't show up. Now you have the nerve to call me and ask when I'm free? I'm very busy, and I have no time for such games. So I won't meet."

Shen Qiang felt a bit awkward, "I'm actually a very punctual person. It's just that something urgent came up that day. I had to prepare medication to save someone..."

"Ha! This is interesting. You couldn't spare a few seconds for a call or message?" The actress Song Weiyin sneered coldly, "Some things I don't say, but that doesn't mean I can't see through them. You just don't respect people, so there's nothing to discuss, and no need to meet."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "You're a great person in every way except being too self-centered. What's wrong with me leaving our meeting to save someone? A missed meeting can be rescheduled, but once a person dies, it's over."

"Ha? Did I say you couldn't save someone? Also, Shen Qiang, don't be cocky in front of me. A missed meeting can be rescheduled? Think again. When I say no meeting, I mean it. We have nothing to discuss, and tonight, I'll publicly announce my request to terminate the contract."

Upon hearing Song Weiyin's words, Shen Qiang replied, "Can you be reasonable? People need to maintain the spirit of the contract. Oh, just because I didn't meet you, you want to terminate the contract? Let's meet up and clear the air. If you insist on terminating, I won't force you."

"I'm not seeing you—I'm very busy because I'm about to film with the most handsome young guy. And for someone like you, clearly not punctual yet unwilling to admit fault, I won't meet you!"

Beep...

The call ended.

Such a temper! Matches her fame!

Shen Qiang frowned. At this time, his phone rang—it was Ke Bizhu calling.

"Did you see her? How did the talk go?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang sighed, "Didn't see her. I called, but she refused to meet and said she'll publicly announce the termination of the endorsement contract tonight."

Ke Bizhu immediately became anxious, "Stop her, don't act recklessly. I'm at the Datong River Beijing store right now, and business is booming. Actually, about half of the customers are here because of Song Weiyin's name—she represents class."

"I'm not short on money. We'll change the endorser—replace her first." Shen Qiang replied without hesitation.

Ke Bizhu laughed, "Shen Qiang, stop being childish. You're the boss of Heshenghe, and many people depend on you for their livelihood. Business is like war—the only way to be a winner is to solve problems, not to avoid them. After all, the endorsement is worth ten years, and she's a top-tier celebrity. Opportunities like this aren't just available to everyone, so go handle it."

The call ended.

Shen Qiang was in a daze.

"Wow, even dare to hang up on me?"

Shen Qiang frowned.

At this moment, he heard the female makeup artist knocking on the restroom door.

"Ximen Genshuo, hurry up and come out. Everything is ready on the crew's side, just missing you!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he remembered Song Weiyin's boastful words.

"I'm not seeing you—I'm very busy because I'm about to film with the most handsome young guy..."

Immediately, a smile appeared on Shen Qiang's lips, and he thought to himself, "Alright, Song Weiyin, since you're not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Here comes the handsome guy you wanted—I just hope you won't be too surprised when you see me."

Thinking this, Shen Qiang smiled, opened the door, and looked at the female makeup artist standing by the restroom door with a helpless expression. He raised his eyebrow with a smile, "Here I am."

The female makeup artist helplessly lectured, "Ximen Genshuo, you have to understand, acting isn't just about you. So many people are waiting—you're wasting not just your time but theirs as well."

Shen Qiang smiled with squinted eyes, "My apologies." Then he handed her a Datong River Beijing restaurant review card, smiling, "It's free—eighteen dishes."

The female makeup artist looked at Shen Qiang for a long time before she giggled, accepted the card, and said, "Alright, I'll make you shine."
