Chapter 854 News about Publis.h.i.+ng a Book Got Exposed!
Li Ji said, “No problem. This is a good thing. Our country is busy developing in all aspects, so we haven’t covered this aspect yet. What you have done will make up for this gap. The higher-ups will definitely support you.”
“That’s great.” Fang Qiu was relieved.
He was worried that it would take a long time if he merely let Wei Dong explore the paths. However, with the help of the government, it would be much faster.
When he was about to hang up, Li Ji suddenly asked, “The thing you discovered in Southeast Asia attracted lots of attention. Are there really guru-level cultivation methods on that island?”
Although Li Ji was a soldier, he was inevitably curious.
“Yes, but it’s not complete,” Fang Qiu had no intention of concealing anything and said, “I suppose that Master Yang Yizhi didn’t want people not from Huaxia to get what he learned, especially the nearby pirates, so he left the incomplete methods on purpose.”
“I see,” Li Ji understood and said, “Then we won’t send anyone there.”
Fang Qiu hurriedly said, “No. You have to send someone to take good care of the body of Master Yang Yizhi!”
Li Ji immediately nodded and said, “No problem. In fact, as soon as the show was broadcasted, the country where the island is situated has begun negotiations with us. They want treasures and gold. Our government is now discussing this with them. Master Yang Yizhi, including the so-called treasure, are ours. How can we give it to them?”
“Yes!” Fang Qiu nodded in agreement.
Li Ji said, “Although the guru has no cultivation method, the guru left this world in that place. There might be a lot of people in Wulin who think that there will be martial arts secret books. By then, it will be inevitable for the Huaxia Wulin to fight with the local forces.”
“People in the world will always scramble for profits. This is normal,” Fang Qiu said with a faint smile.
Fang Qiu had already seen through this kind of matter. As long as no one damaged the master’s body, they could fight with each other if they liked.
Anyway, they couldn’t get anything in the end.
On the other end of the phone, Li Ji said in a serious tone, “You have to intervene if they can’t settle the conflicts!”
“People in our Huaxia Wulin won’t be so inferior, right?” Fang Qiu said jokingly and then added. “Will they get bullied?”
“Of course not,” Li Ji immediately laughed and said, “I’m just saying. We have to be prepared in case anything should happen.”
Fang Qiu sneered and said directly, “I didn’t see that. I think you want me to do something, right?”
Li Ji laughed and said, “Well, we’ll talk about it later. I’ll send you the information you want. I have to report it to the superior first. Bye.”
After that, he hung up.
Looking at the phone, Fang Qiu shook his head helplessly.
This guy was obviously holding back something.
However, since he didn’t say anything, Fang Qiu didn’t bother to ask. When it was the right time, he would naturally tell him.
In just three days, the experts from Huaxia Wulin who had gone to the uninhabited island fought with the local people.
There was no doubt that the Huaxia martial arts pract.i.tioners naturally played a much more powerful role in this fight. They showed remarkable power, suppressing the local forces completely.
However, due to the intervention of the local government, the tension between the two sides was temporarily eased.
After these three days, the small island which was usually empty all year round was now occupied by all kinds of forces.
Different from the other forces, every Huaxia martial arts pract.i.tioner would first go to the cave and pay his respects to Yang Yizhi.
Looking at Yang Yizhi’s last note on the rock wall, everyone had mixed feelings.
They wished they could have gone out to sea with Yang Yizhi to kill the bandits at that time!
However, they could only regret that they had been born too late!
In Huaxia, even though three days had pa.s.sed, people from all over the country were still engrossed in the Run Wild&Survive series.
While everyone was still enthusiastically discussing about all kinds of topics brought about by Run Wild&Survive, a piece of news suddenly came out. This was the big move that the publis.h.i.+ng house had been planning to reveal to the public.
“Fang Qiu wrote a book, which will be released in a month!”
Everyone who heard this news was totally dumbfounded.
“Fang Qiu? Writing a book?”
“It’s impossible. Fang Qiu is a doctor. It’s okay for him to join variety shows. After all, he is famous, but it’ll be too much for him to write a book.”
“That’s right. Even an excellent student from a liberal arts university may not be able to become a writer. Fang Qiu is a medical student at the University of Chinese Medicine. What can he write about?”
“What is Fang Qiu going to do?”
“Why can’t Fang Qiu write a book? Our Master Fang is omnipotent in all fields! I’m rooting for him!”
Meanwhile, in the Beijiang cultivation base, looking at the news online, Zhou Xiaotian was stunned. “What on earth is Fang Qiu going to do now?”
“A book? Does Fang Qiu know how to write a book?” Sun Hao was also very surprised.
“I don’t think it’s strange for Fang Qiu to write a book. What’s strange is why he suddenly wants to write one. Why did he suddenly want to be a writer?”
Zhu Benzheng agreed and added, “Think about it. Fang Qiu is the kind of person who can recite dozens of ancient medical books. This means that he has some literary skills. It’s not odd for him to write a book, but why is he doing it and what kind of book is he going to write? This is what we need to focus on.”
“A book?” In the capital city, when Director Li Huawen heard that Fang Qiu was going to publish a book, he was amazed.
Naturally, he knew that one of the proposals he gave to Fang Qiu was to invite Fang Qiu to write a book. After all, he had read these proposals in advance. Before he handed them over to Fang Qiu, he had to scrutinize them first.
While he was reading those proposals, he could only think of Fang Qiu joining any variety shows, but he couldn’t come up with any reason for Fang Qiu to publish a book.
But what happened now was exactly what he had never expected.
“This kid really intends to publish it.” he thought.
“I only wanted to offer him more options back then. I didn’t expect that he really liked this proposal. But what kind of book could this kid write?”
“Fang Qiu, you’ve been in the limelight recently.” In a female dormitory in a university, Jiang Mengjie smiled slightly and murmured to herself while browsing Weibo, “After causing such a scene with a female singer on the variety show, now you even want to write a book. Will it be a romantic novel?”
“Miaoyu, Miaoyu.” In Comores, Africa, a girl from the medical team ran to Jiang Miaoyu, who had just finished her s.h.i.+ft. She handed the phone to Jiang Miaoyu and said, “Look.”
“What?” Jiang Miaoyu was curious.
But when she took a look at the phone, she found that Fang Qiu was going to publish a book.
“Write a book?” Jiang Miaoyu smiled slightly. She was not surprised about Fang Qiu doing anything because she knew that Fang Qiu was capable of managing numerous things.
“Your boyfriend is so awesome. He can even write a book?”
Beside her, the girl from the medical team said with a smile, and then asked, “Do you know what kind of book he will be writing?”
“I don’t know,” Jiang Miaoyu shook her head and said while smiling proudly, “But I know that no matter what book he is going to write, it must be so professional!”
“One month. It’s close.”
In the library of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, Xu Miaolin breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself after putting down the nameless book that was stapled together, “Just wait to be shocked!”
On Weibo, Fang Qiu’s fans were all overjoyed when they heard the news.
“Our Master Fang can even write a book?”
“Haha, Billion Fang is capable of anything!”
“Master, you’re amazing. You’re the most talented person I’ve ever seen outside the entertainment industry.”
“I’m looking forward to it. Master Fang is going to publish a book. I wonder what kind of book he is writing. Could it be a book that will teach everyone about Chinese Medicine?”
“With our Master Fang’s scholarly look, he definitely will not be writing love stories. Let’s wait for it!”
An intern working in the publis.h.i.+ng industry heard the news.
Helplessly, he took out his phone, clicked on the WeChat group, and complained, “Another famous person will be writing a book. This is obviously an amateur trying to earn money.”
In the WeChat group, everyone echoed his sentiment.
“Alas, this is how the world works now. Where there is profit, there will be people.”
“Profit? What else can they gain since our publis.h.i.+ng business is in such a state?”
“Maybe Fang Qiu can improve the business of the publis.h.i.+ng industry.”
“I hope so.”
When they heard that Fang Qiu would be writing a book, all the people from the publis.h.i.+ng industry only had negative comments.
“What the f*ck? How can he write a book?”
“This is robbing me of my job.”
“Fang Qiu. This is the first time that Fang Qiu made me speechless. You should stay in the Chinese Medicine field and the variety show circle. It’s not as if you can’t earn money by doing this. Why do you have to interfere in the publis.h.i.+ng business?”
“It doesn’t matter. Just write it. He can’t write a good book anyway. Why would a medical student write a book?”
“Yes, writing relies on talents. Especially paper books, you can’t sell books well just because you’re famous. Many celebrities suffer losses when doing this.”
“Fang Qiu is only 18 years old. What kind of book can he write at such an age? He has no experience at all, and he doesn’t have enough experience in life. What book can he write?”
“I’d like to see which company signed up for it! I’m dying to see how they will lose money.”
Apparently, the people in the publis.h.i.+ng circle were not optimistic about Fang Qiu’s book.
They could not deny Fang Qiu’s influence, nor did they doubt that he had a large number of fans. However, having so many fans didn’t mean anything. If each of his fans really spent 30 yuan buying his book, wouldn’t that cost 1.5 billion yuan in total given that Fang Qiu had 50 million fans?
In this day and age, no matter how popular the writer was, it was already good that they could sell over ten thousand or several hundred thousand books, not to mention a layman like Fang Qiu.
Not long after, the people in the publis.h.i.+ng industry who looked down on Fang Qiu and thought he was making a fool of himself and didn’t have the ability to write received slaps in the face because the introduction to Fang Qiu’s book came out!
“There is a fundamental difference between Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. In addition to treating the human body, Chinese Medicine also treats the human’s vital essence, Qi, and spirit. What is vital essence? What is Qi? What is the spirit? How do they exist and operate in the human body? What is the difference between the internal organs of Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine? What is the change process when Chinese drugs enter the human body? What is the structure that the human body looks under Insight? This book will help to answer these questions, one by one.”
