Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1712 - 1715: The Best Actress's Fig Leaf

Early the next morning, when Shen Qiang opened his eyes, he saw the lovely Wenren Meiqiao smiling at him. Shen Qiang couldn't help but hold her tighter, and said with a smile, "Not going to sleep a bit more?"Wenren Meiqiao smiled happily, her beautiful eyes full of happiness as she gave a light kiss next to Shen Qiang's mouth, then charmingly said, "I went to see Jinli Qianning."

Shen Qiang was stunned, then frowned and said, "What did you go to see her for?"

Wenren Meiqiao smiled and said, "Of course, it's for the Divine Corpse. Didn't you say that the Divine Corpse is very important to both you and Qingxuan? So, of course, I hope you can get it as soon as possible."

After a moment of silence, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Makes sense. Did she agree?"

Wenren Meiqiao raised her eyebrows slightly, a little embarrassed, and said, "No, but she said if there's a chance, she will talk to her father."

Shen Qiang laughed: "If there's a chance, she'll talk, which means if there's no chance, she'll never say it. She's just brushing you off; this deal is going nowhere."

Leaning her head on Shen Qiang's shoulder, Wenren Meiqiao said, "I know, but other than hoping she might speak, what else can we do? After all, the sea is not like the land. If the Divine Corpse were hidden among the mountains and rivers, we could at least try, and even if we failed, it wouldn't be a big deal."

"But it's different in the sea. Without strength above the Dao Fruit Stage, there's no way to survive if danger arises in the deep sea. So let's bear with it; there's no other choice."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang, holding her fragrant shoulder tighter, smiled and said, "As a man, making a woman worry about my things is really shameful, but there's no big problem. After the Elixir Pills Conference ends, it'll still be time to study this issue. If I perform strongly enough at the Elixir Pills Conference, I think even the Great Sea Demon may not refuse my request."

Wenren Meiqiao seemed to be searching for comfort as she snuggled closer to Shen Qiang, then said, "Alchemists have always been a noble existence in the Cultivation World. However, over thousands of years, the structure has already been fixed. The Thirty-two Skillful Hands, the Four Little Alchemists, plus the Medicine King Valley, form a layout of alchemists that no one can shake. So, you want to outshine everyone at the Alchemist Conference and become famous, very difficult."

Shen Qiang laughed: "Don't worry, as long as I take action, they can only bow their heads."

Wenren Meiqiao frowned: "Hope so, but words are not enough. Every one of these Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Four Little Alchemists, and the Medicine King Valley has their unique pill-making skills, so I found some information about them for you and sent it to your email. When you have time, you can take a look."

Shen Qiang smiled, kissed her forehead, and said, "Thank you."

Wenren Meiqiao laughed, then got up and put on Shen Qiang's large shirt, saying, "No need to be so polite. Besides, last night I noticed that when you came back, you weren't wearing the custom-made shirt I got you."

Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Jealous?"

Wenren Meiqiao pouted, "I have a whole bunch of things to deal with, where do I have the time to bicker with you? But that beautiful woman who makes me a little jealous, Song Weiyin, what exactly is going on between you two?"

Shen Qiang was stunned, then said, "There's nothing between me and her."

Wenren Meiqiao laughed, "Go fool a ghost. Before you came back last night, I saw her on her social platform saying she's very fond of the gourmet food of Datong River and even replied to fans saying that if Datong River invited her to be an endorser, she would be very happy."

Shen Qiang was confused, stunned for a full three seconds, then laughed and said, "What a joke! The endorser for Datong River is the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, who is quite beautiful. She's the number one beauty in the gourmet world, and her influence in the gourmet world is something Song Weiyin can't compare to."

Wenren Meiqiao burst into laughter: "Are you kidding? The influence of the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing in the gourmet world affects gourmets and chefs. Are your Datong River's clients them? Obviously not, most customers are just ordinary rich people who can't even tell what real gourmet food is."

"They go to Datong River for dining more for the status and prestige, and only then for the food itself. After all, allow me to be blunt, the same barbecue at Datong River costs ten times more than at a street stall, but can the taste really be ten times better?"

"So if a popular actress becomes the endorser, Datong River will definitely become the favorite restaurant of Beijing's rich and famous."

With that, Wenren Meiqiao went into the bathroom.

Shen Qiang stared at the closed bathroom door, listening to the sound of water from inside, his eyes inevitably thoughtful.

And just then, Shen Qiang's phone rang. Picking it up, he saw it was from Violet.

"Boss, the situation is a bit different from your prediction. The actress Song Weiyin's assistant contacted me, saying that Song Weiyin really likes your restaurant and is willing to promote it as an endorsement, but they are asking for eighty million a year in endorsement fees, or one Blooming Beauty Pill every three years."

Shen Qiang laughed, and in his mind appeared the image of the exquisitely beautiful actress Song Weiyin's proud yet refined face, saying: "Oh, that's really surprising, she seems to be playing hard to get."

"Then let's play along, tell her we are a small business and can't make big money, so the endorsement fee is only 1 yuan, and it must be signed for ten years."

Upon hearing this, Violet was stunned: "1 yuan? Though it's said to quote the sky high and settle on earth, this is too little."

Shen Qiang laughed: "Never mind, don't you get it? She has other intentions towards me; it's not really about the money. The so-called endorsement fee is just a fig leaf. So you can say something nice, like friendship endorsement, and she will likely agree on another pretext."

"Really?" Violet was surprised.

"Call her assistant now, I guarantee she will agree," Shen Qiang said confidently: "Then tell me the result."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Shen Qiang didn't take it to heart at all, thinking about the preparations for the Elixir Pills Conference.

It wasn't long before the slender Wenren Meiqiao came out from the bathroom, and just as she was getting dressed, Violet's call came in.

"Unbelievable, Boss, she actually agreed, 1 yuan to endorse Datong River for ten years!"

Everything was as expected, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I knew it would be like this. She made it so obvious, even hinting on her social account that she was willing to do this endorsement. It was evident she just wanted to establish some connection with me."

"Alright, my dear boss, perhaps you're right, but she made a request that you need to return the previous photos you took with her, without any retention."

"No problem," Shen Qiang laughed: "As expected, an actress takes face very seriously, so I'll give her that fig leaf."
