Chapter 1406 A Star Player’s Wild Ambition
“Thank you so much.”
After his wife took their daughter, Zhang Yicheng wiped the tears on his face and held Fang Qiu’s hand tightly. He was so excited that he kept thanking Fang Qiu.
“Calm down.”
Fang Qiu patted Zhang Yicheng and said jokingly, “Beibei is cured, but you may fall ill with excitement. As a Chinese Medicine doctor, I must cure diseases and save lives. Besides, you’re so warm-hearted to receive me, and Beibei is so cute. How could I not save her?”
Zhang Yicheng and his wife heard this…
They burst into laughter.
“How about this?”
Mrs. Zhang said, “Yicheng has asked others to prepare dinner to welcome you. If you don’t mind, I’ll cook a few more dishes for you to show my gratitude.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Zhang.”
Fang Qiu had sensed what might happen.
If he didn’t accept it, they would not give up.
After all, their daughter had been sick for so many years, but she had never seen the light since she was born. She had never even seen his parents.
If he encountered such a situation, Fang Qiu would do the same to express thanks. Actually, he might be even more enthusiastic!
Luckily…
Though the girl’s optic nerves had shrunk, her eyes were well-developed. Once the withered visual nerves slowed down the growth of the eyeballs, it would be tricky to cure her eyes.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you back to your room first.”
Zhang Yicheng pointed to the ring staircase on the right side of the hall, motioning for Fang Qiu to go that way.
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded. As he followed Zhang Yicheng upstairs, he looked around curiously and asked, “Where is the steward?”
“That’s a part-time worker.”
Zhang Yicheng smiled and said, “We Huaxia people have a habit of doing many things ourselves. We are not used to using a steward. This part-time worker was hired temporarily to clean your room. After he cleaned it up, he would take you to the room, but you were treating Beibei at that time. Since his working time was up, he left.”
“We also hire some Michelin chefs in the kitchen, making Huaxia dishes for us.”
Fang Qiu nodded knowingly when heard this.
Soon, he came to the guest room for him on the second floor.
When he entered the room, Fang Qiu understood why Zhang Yicheng got a part-time cleaner to sweep the room — the room was as big as a suite in a five-star hotel.
“He did a good job.”
After looking around, Zhang Yicheng said, “No one has lived in this room since we bought this villa. So, it’s a little dusty. But I can assure you everything here is brand new. You can live at ease!”
“Thank you.”
Fang Qiu was grateful.
“I should be the one saying that.”
Zhang Yicheng smiled. Then he looked at the time and said, “There are still a few hours before dinner. Have a rest first. I’ll come up to tell you when it’s time to have dinner.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
Zhang Yicheng turned around and left, closing the door for Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu had a flight of 13 hours, but he was not tired at all. As for the jet lag, it was not a problem for him.
Well…
Fang Qiu might as well take the opportunity to practice for a while.
After all, the lotus in his Dantian already had formed a shadow. If he wanted to solidify it, he had to practice more diligently.
Producing two Dantian flowers was indeed not that easy!
Sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the living room, Fang Qiu closed his eyes to cultivate.
In the evening…
At about seven o’clock…
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a knock on the door.
“Fang Qiu, it’s time for dinner.”
Zhang Yicheng’s voice came from outside the door.
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Fang Qiu woke up and responded. Then, he stood up directly, walking out in high spirits.
Zhang Yicheng was waiting outside the door.
“I’ll take you to the restaurant.”
Zhang Yicheng smiled and led Fang Qiu downstairs. They walked out from the side door of the hall, bypassed a small garden, and came to a restaurant.
He glanced at the dining room.
Beibei was watching TV with great interest.
“After her eyes were cured, she began to run around. She was instantly fascinated by the TV.”
Zhang Yicheng said with a smile.
“It’s okay as long as she keeps a certain distance from the TV. The TV is not as harmful to our eyes as we have imagined. If she doesn’t watch TV for a long time, there won’t be any problem.”
Fang Qiu said.
“Mm.”
With a nod, Zhang Yicheng said, “We’ve made a schedule for her. She can watch TV for an hour at noon and an hour at night.”
As they chatted…
They walked into the restaurant.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang was serving the two dishes she had cooked.
“Please have a seat.”
Zhang Yicheng invited Fang Qiu to take a seat with a smile.
“Sir”
Beibei stared at the TV and greeted Fang Qiu without looking back.
“Mm.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
“When you say hello to our guests, you must look at them. It’s a signal of your respect. You have no respect for them if you don’t look at them.”
Mrs. Zhang walked up to Beibei and said, standing between her and the TV.
“Oh?”
Beibei didn’t cry and make a scene like other children. Immediately, she turned around and looked at Fang Qiu, greeting him again, “Sir.”
“Mm.”
Fang Qiu responded with a smile.
Zhang Yicheng and his wife saw this…
They looked at each other and smiled. Then they sat down and began to enjoy the meal.
They chatted while eating.
Everyone talked and laughed happily.
When they almost finished eating, Beibei changed the TV channel with the remote control. She switched to a talk show. Hearing the laughter from the program, she immediately stopped and watched it with curiosity.
As soon as she stopped to see the talk show…
Zhang Yicheng, his wife, and Fang Qiu watched it with her.
“Morse?”
After a glance, Zhang Yicheng smiled and introduced the man to Fang Qiu, “Johnny Morse, Wahton Bullet Team’s forward, is an outstanding ballplayer. This should have been a season for him to show off his talent and skills, but unfortunately… As you can see, his feet…”
“Is he a basketball player?”
Fang Qiu asked.
“You’re not interested in basketball?”
Zhang Yicheng asked curiously.
“I don’t pay much attention to it. I have been focused on Chinese Medicine.”
Fang Qiu shook his head.
He liked basketball very much but didn’t appear interested in basketball stars. After all, he had no time to play basketball. How could he get time to follow basketball stars?
At the same time…
A voice came from the TV.
“We learned about your leg injury through the media in the first place. Now, can I ask you about the specific situation? For example, how serious is your leg injury? How long can you recover? You know, it’s related to when you can play again. We’re all eager to see you return to the competition as soon as possible. You can lead the Wahton Bullet Team to charge forward!”
The host said.
“Well, I…”
Morse hesitated for a moment. Then, he shrugged helplessly and regretfully, saying, “To be honest, my leg injury is indeed severe. I don’t want to hide it from everyone. We’ve already made a lot of effort to cure my leg injury. To go back to the game, I was in such a hurry to do the training, which worsened my situation. Otherwise, my leg injury might have recovered faster. Things are getting worse. Here, I take this chance to apologize to my friends who support me.”
“We have tried various ways but failed to cure my leg in a short time. However, it is not completely hopeless.”
“Recently, I heard about a famous doctor in Huaxia named Fang Qiu. No matter what purpose he had, he came to Wahton, Murica. I happened to see the news about him on Twitter. He claimed that he could cure patients without surgery and medicine. It sounds amazing, though I could hardly believe it. But now, I’d like to pass on a message to him for my career.”
At this point…
Morse looked at the camera and said, “Hey, bro, if you happen to watch this show and hear my words, hurry up and contact me. Help me cure my legs and let me dash about on the battlefield. If you don’t contact me, everyone will know you’re scared, and you are not capable at all. So… You know, give me a call.”
In the end, he even made the gesture of making a phone call.
He made witty remarks.
There came a burst of laughter from the TV.
“Morse, are you serious? I was almost scared to death by you.”
The host said with a smile.
“Of course I mean it.”
Morse promptly answered in a manner sincere enough.
“But…”
The host paused and said, “Chinese Medicine in Huaxia is fraudulent for many people. Don’t you think so?”
“First of all, I’m not bragging. Nor do I have any complaints about Western Medicine.”
Morse said, “In that mysterious ancient oriental country, those medical skills have been passed down for five thousand years. All of this has been clearly recorded in history. Everyone knows the fact, so no one will refute it, right?
“There is a saying that what exists is reasonable.
“Then, why do you think their medical skills are unreasonable? They have existed for 5,000 years. How could there be a scam of 5,000 years?
“In the past 5,000 years, the population in Huaxia has been growing. Can you tell me why? They have the world’s second-largest population now. If Huaxia medical skills are useless, can so many people survive?
“Of course, I think Murica has enough people!”
After that…
His remark caused another burst of laughter.
“Do you really want this Huaxia doctor to contact you?”
The host gave a hearty laugh and asked.
“Of course not.”
Morse looked at the host as if looking at a fool. Then, smiling, he said, “I don’t want you to show my phone number on so many TV screens. In that case, a myriad of calls will bombard my phone tomorrow. So, I plan to invite Fang Qiu tomorrow, asking him to treat my leg.”
“Okay. Tomorrow, let’s go with Morse. We’ll have a good time appreciating the mysterious Huaxia medical skills.”
The host applauded to show his expectation.
In front of the TV…
In the dining room…
After watching this talk show, Fang Qiu asked with a wry smile, “They’re joking, aren’t they?”
“Haha.”
Zhang Yicheng chortled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be famous as soon as you arrived in Murica, but it seems his foot is seriously injured. If he really comes to you, are you sure you can cure it?”
“Not to mention one foot, I could cure him even if all his bones were broken!”
Fang Qiu said confidently.
“If that’s the case, it is a great opportunity. I’m waiting for you to make a name!”
Zhang Yicheng heroically said. Then, he added, “This time, you must bring honor to our Huaxia people. Since we are foreign citizens of Huaxia origin, they never treat us as equals. Discrimination on the grounds of color and race is deeply entrenched in this country. They never sincerely treat us as Murica citizens. But who cares? In the depth of our hearts, we know our roots are in Huaxia. Though we live in Murica, we are Huaxia people!”
