The Superstar’s Mysterious Malady
After Xu s.h.i.+han grew up, she entered the entertainment industry with w.a.n.g sis as her agent, still protecting her from wind and rain. w.a.n.g sis might not be blood-related to her but she was seen as a blood-related sister in Xu s.h.i.+han’s eyes. Now that she was able to earn money herself, she’d never taken things for granted and split her income into two portions, one for herself and another one under w.a.n.g sis’ name.
Although w.a.n.g sis had turned down the offer, Xu s.h.i.+han still insisted on doing so.
“No, it’s a swindler company.” w.a.n.g sis shook her head. “It’s the what… Miracle Doctor Guan Xuemin’s company actually. They become a pretty hot topic in the newspaper and TV recently but they are just a bunch of swindlers…..”
“Hehe….” Xu s.h.i.+han smiled helplessly after hearing what w.a.n.g sis said. “w.a.n.g sis, Elder Guan is an expert in the medical world. How is he a swindler?”
“He’s not a swindler? Why can’t he treat your illness? After so many sessions of acupuncture, nothing seems to work in the slightest! He even guaranteed that he would be able to treat you!” w.a.n.g sis hmped in disdain.
“Things are different. I’ve been to so many hospitals. They were all helpless with my condition, weren’t they? It’s just that my illness is rather abnormal….” Xu s.h.i.+han didn’t blame Guan Xuemin and didn’t think that he was a swindler as she knew how complicated her malady was.
“Fine fine, we should at least talk about conscience, shouldn’t we? He couldn’t even treat you. How can he be called a miracle doctor? I can’t just let you tell a bare-faced lie, can I?” w.a.n.g sis said non-chalantly.
Xu s.h.i.+han shook her head and smiled after listening to w.a.n.g sis. “There are many celebrities that are doing the same thing, right? Fake endors.e.m.e.nt, there’s plenty in society! I’ll have to call Elder Guan and apologize later. He really did use all his efforts when treating me.”
“Whatever. I don’t know why you give so much care to a swindler like him.” w.a.n.g sis was a person who drew a clear demarcation between whom or what to hate or love. Unlike Xu s.h.i.+han, she was pure, innocent and never had complicated thoughts.
However, if it wasn’t for w.a.n.g sis, people like Xu s.h.i.+han would surely be taken advantage of.
Xu s.h.i.+han smiled lightly, picked up the phone, and found Guan Xuemin’s number. However, Guan Xuemin’s phone was switched off so Xu s.h.i.+han had to put this aside first….
Fatty Lai informed Lin Yi the moment the collaboration was declined but Lin Yi didn’t seem to mind in the slightest and when he heard that Xu s.h.i.+han’s agent was a c.o.c.ky and nasty person, he instantly gave up the thought of having a brand amba.s.sador.
An Jianwen hadn’t been living peacefully recently with his house and Fire Wolf gang pressuring him. He felt like he was out of breath in the midst of suffocation.
However, the good thing was that he did a pretty great job in earning money for his house and Fire Wolf gang when the organization was not sabotaged. Previously, when his brother, An Jiande, was still the head of the kidney trafficking organization, things were safe and tranquil but his way of obtaining the kidney was to buy them. Thus, after all the buying and selling, they didn’t earn much, either. The amount of money his brother earned for a year wasn’t even on par with what An Jianwen earned in one month- this was also the reason why the Fire wolf gang and House An didn’t send him back to where he was.
An Jianwen might be overconfident and unscrupulous in handling things but he really did earn a fortune for his house and the Fire Wolf gang- in just one month, he earned them more than ten million as a profit and this made the Fire Wolf gang’s branch leader in the north sit up and take notice of him.
Now, An Jianwen was lying on the sofa as he picked up a phone call from his father.
“Jianwen, you’re still way too young and you have much more to learn from your carelessness!” The tone of Jianwen’s father, An Mingyue was sincere and caring. “Look at your cousin. He’s only been in Songshan city for a year. His result might not be as colorful as you but he’s steady and the Fire Wolf gang always places him in an important position.”
“Dad, me too. Do you think that I don’t want to show grandpa and the Fire Wolf gang some results? After I went overseas, the business in the north was pa.s.sed to uncle and our standing in House An and the Fire Wolf gang became so unstable!” An Jianwen smiled bitterly.
“Idiot! Your old man, might have abandoned the business in the north but I’m the middle man between House An and the Fire Wolf gang- comparing it with your uncle’s glorious result, it might not look like something to be proud of but, in fact, every transaction made with the Fire Wolf gang is your old man’s doing!” An Mingyue continued. “Otherwise, do you think you could enter the business in Songshan city the first day you returned? As for your brother, was he really being put in an important position? He was sent outside the border to deal with drug addicts. It seems like a profitable business but do you have any idea how dangerous is that place? Which drug addicts in the foreign country has moral values? They are all merciless, killing people without even blinking!”
“It’s my bad, dad. I know I was careless this time…” An Jianwen digested his father’s advice and realized that he was really wrong this time.
“Hmph, even if your business wasn’t ruined, the kidney trafficking organization didn’t seem like it could last long as well. An Jiande had already attracted the police’s attention when he was the head. It was just a matter of time before it got caught. Whatever is ruined is ruined. At least you earned us quite a lot this time. Forget it and remember not to do it again!” An Mingyue continued. “Fortunately, the branch leader in the north is also a vicious and merciless person. He liked the way how you deal with things and with me convincing them from the inside, they finally a.s.signed you a new task!”
“WHAT? New task? This news is too good to be true!” An Jianwen was on cloud nine when he heard his father. He was still depressing not knowing what to do with his future, having one kidney removed and his job lost. How could he still hit on Chu Mengyao? But the good news came as a shock to him. He gained a new task!
“En, the most profitable business in the underground now are p*rnography, drug abuse, gambling, and kidney trafficking. While every area in the s.e.x industry has its own local mafia boss doing business, it’s not very appropriate for us to stick our head in.” An Mingyue continued. “While your cousin is handling the drug industry now, you’re a.s.signed to gambling!”
“Oh? They want me to build a casino?” An Jianwen could more or less figure out what was going on.
“Yes, but this is no ordinary casino. This is an underground boxing stage!” An Mingyue explained. “Normal casinos are also controlled by the local underground forces. We can’t lay our hands in it so what we are doing is being the dealer of the gamble. Not only can we earn money from the entrance fee, we can also earn money from people who gamble in the game!”
“No problem. Just leave this to me. I’ll surely make this grand!” An Jianwen nodded. “But I’ve no lackeys under me now. The tattooed guy has carried everything on his shoulder for me.”
“Don’t worry about this. The branch leader has sent you two valuable a.s.sets! A physical master has the strength of a peak early phase mystic cla.s.s- he’s able to hold down the entire stage alone! The other one is a professor who excels in arousing one’s potential- he will give you a type of medicine that could instantly make people invincible! However, these two a.s.sets are just here to a.s.sist you. They’re definitely not your lackeys! Treat them with respect, and don’t slow them down!” An Mingyue made things clear.
