Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 152 Zhang Xiaodao in Despair

They bickered all the way back to the clinic and then went to their respective rooms.

I still didn't want Long Ni'er.

It's not that there's still a shadow over it.

After returning, I carefully examined Long Nier's pulse and checked her body. She was not suitable for sexual intercourse at the moment.

Previously in Linkou, in order to kill that human-faced rat, Long Nier released her natal Gu.

She said at the time that nothing was wrong, but after we arrived in Shenyang, I checked her pulse and found nothing amiss.

When I got back, Long Nier looked unwell. After a thorough examination, I discovered that her body was severely depleted and needed a lot of nourishment.

The fact that it wasn't detected in Shencheng was because she intentionally used her natal Gu to suppress it, not wanting me to worry.

I feel both heartbroken and helpless seeing her like this.

Her body won't recover in less than two months.

For the next month, I stayed home and focused on nourishing Long Nier's body, while Fatty Lin was busy making a lot of money in his social circle.

For example, with the help of Aunt Xiao, he successfully helped Bai Yimei get a medical check-up.

I did the inspection, but afterwards this guy smacked his lips in front of me, saying that trained people are better. If it weren't for Long Nier, I would have kicked him away.

After that, Fatty Lin listened to me and raised the price, even a little more than Wang Sanmu.

Not much, just one hundred.

His price increase did indeed elevate his image, and even Li Yiyi tried him out.

All the hard work we two brothers put in before, including Aunt Xiao's publicity stunts and becoming a specially appointed consultant for Huayi, didn't create as much of a sensation as Fatty Lin's 280,100,000.

This is something we didn't expect.

To add an aura to the consecration ceremony, after New Year's Day, Fatty Lin added my pulse diagnosis and acupuncture, and the ceremony was held on the third floor.

Therefore, we renovated the place and created a small studio room.

If a female celebrity comes to have her body blessed and regulated, I will first take her pulse, then perform acupuncture, and finally have Fatty Lin perform a blood transfusion.

After New Year's Day, Li Li asked to meet me and invited me to dinner.

I thought about it and arranged to meet her at the clinic.

Over the past year, Li Li and I haven't seen each other much, but we've kept in touch.

My feelings for Li Li are complicated.

First, I felt sympathy for her; she was kidnapped and abused by her cousin's men when she was just a teenager, which led to her mental breakdown. Second, I felt pity for her; I still can't forget the first time I saw her, she was like a frightened little rabbit, cowering in the corner. Third, I somewhat regarded her as a younger sister.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for over a year, I've met quite a few female stars and male stars as well.

I have never sympathized with these people, no matter what they have gone through. The reason is simple: they brought it all on themselves; no one forced them.

Li Li is different.

She didn't aspire to great achievements, nor did she intend to exchange her body for anything.

For example, right now, she's chattering away about her experiences over the past year, talking about her single, filming music videos, and how she hasn't seen Li Laohu much in the past year, just like a child who hasn't grown up.

She said she didn't want to be too tired, wanted to go to school, but didn't know what to study.

At this point, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Thirteenth Brother, Sister Ni'er, and Fatty Brother, I'm going to tell you about my dream, please don't laugh at me!"

"Little Li, tell us, we won't laugh at you!" Long Ni'er put a piece of food on Li Li's plate.

"I don't really have any ideals. The thing I want to do most in my life is to have my parents by my side, to sleep until I naturally wake up every day, and to have my mom make whatever I want to eat. As for work, I can do it if I want to, and I don't have to if I don't want to!" Li Li said a little embarrassed.

"Little Tanuki, I actually think the same way as you!" Long Nier said with a smile.

"Really?"

Li Li's eyes sparkled, revealing two small dimples, and her slightly chubby chin made her look even cuter.

"real!"

Long Nier affectionately pinched Li Li's cheek and nodded.

"Sister Nier, I don't dare tell anyone about this. I'm afraid they'll say I'm a useless person!" Li Li said.

"They're the useless ones!" Long Ni'er glared and said, "Little Li, if you have anything on your mind, talk to me. I'll always be on your side!"

"Um!"

Li Li nodded seriously.

Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance, unable to hide our worry.

Li Li's fate is too special.

I don't know exactly what deal Third Master and Tiger Li made, but I know for sure that Tiger Li won't live much longer.

For this reason, Li Laohu has told me about entrusting his orphan to others more than once.

His biggest worry was Li Li.

Third Master didn't specify how he would treat Li Li, but he had been very good to her over the past year.

He found the most famous producers in the industry to produce a single for Li Li and found up-and-coming directors to shoot a music video for Li Li.

These actions all indicate that Third Master has no intention of letting Li Li go.

The better Third Master treats Li Li, the bigger his schemes are.

These are things I cannot say.

At present, we can only take it one step at a time.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Long Nier and I originally wanted to take Li Li home ourselves, but a private car came to pick her up instead.

Not long after Li Li left, Third Master called. What a coincidence!

I understood what Third Master meant, so I took the initiative to report that I had eaten with Li Li.

Third Master didn't say much, but kindly told us to keep an eye on Li Li.

"Third Master's scheme against Li Li is as obvious as a louse on a bald man's head!"

After hanging up the phone, I said in a deep voice.

"Little Tanuki is a good boy!"

"Long Nier said."

"Crazy, don't think so much. We'll deal with whatever comes our way!" Fatty Lin said.

"Um!"

I nodded.

After Li Li left, life returned to normal.

As the Chinese New Year approached, someone we didn't expect came to our door.

The person who came was Zhang Xiaodao.

Lin Pangzi and I participated in the talent show organized by Huayi before, and Lin Pangzi had a few casual encounters with Zhang Xiaodao because of it.

Strictly speaking, the practice of "enlightening" and checking the body started with that talent show.

"Xiao Dao, why the sudden appearance? Are you unwell?"

Zhang Xiaodao came without making an appointment by phone, which surprised Fatty Lin.

"I'm perfectly healthy!"

Zhang Xiaodao shook his head, placed his hand on his chest, and said, "There's a problem here!"

"Little Knife, you're troubled by something. Tell me, what exactly did you come here for?"

"That's what Fatty Lin said."

"Fatty, I can't hold on any longer!"

Zhang Xiaodao gave a bitter smile and said, "It's been almost a year since I became the champion of Gangdao's group. In this year, I've drunk a lot of alcohol and attended countless parties, but the resources I've received are pitifully scarce. I can't take it anymore!"

"What did Director Gang say?" I asked.

"Every time I ask, Director Gang tells me to follow instructions and endure the loneliness, but how am I supposed to endure it?"

With a hint of despair, Zhang Xiaodao said, "I have no problem with drinking with people, but you can't make me drink with perverts every time! I really can't take it anymore!"
