Chapter 2429: Chapter 2230: Kidney Function Definitely Isn’t Great (2)

"Since Director Sun has said so, please arrange a time for me to meet with Director Zhou." Song Xiaodong said to Director Sun.

"Then there’s no better time than now, how about tonight? My treat, I’ll take you for some turtle soup, how about it?" Director Sun asked with a cheerful smile.

"Great!"

"Alright then, 7 PM tonight, don’t be late!"

After calling Song Xiaodong, Director Sun called Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Old Zhou, are you sure you can make it tonight?"

"I can get there by the afternoon."

"That’s great, once you’re here just come find me directly, I’ve already arranged to meet Mr. Song at 7 PM."

"Alright."

Zhou Yuanzhi, upon arriving in Minghe, didn’t go directly to find Director Sun. Instead, his car swerved to the hotel where Jin Haicheng was staying, hurriedly found Jin Haicheng’s room number, and knocked heavily on the door.

This time, when Jin Haicheng opened the door, she wasn’t wearing the black nightgown she’d worn the last time she saw Director Wang. Instead, she was dressed in a sailor suit with a cute bun on her head, sporting white sneakers with long white socks.

Zhou Yuanzhi had a penchant for films about innocent rural girls, and Jin Haicheng dressed to cater to his tastes. Unfortunately, her eyeliner and eyelashes betrayed her.

Chapter 2231: Don’t Ask Anyway

"Director Zhou, what brings you to Minghe?" Jin Haicheng asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"I have some health issues, so I came to Minghe City to see a physician." Zhou Yuanzhi answered honestly.

"Director Zhou, did I hear you right? Why come all the way to Minghe when there are so many good hospitals in Beijing?" Jin Haicheng asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Alright, just don’t ask." Zhou Yuanzhi was somewhat displeased.

"Director Zhou, you wouldn’t be like the rumors say, would you? Aren’t capable anymore?" Jin Haicheng asked with a mischievous grin.

"Why don’t you try it yourself and see?" Zhou Yuanzhi asked Jin Haicheng.

"The last time I tried was alright, no issues there." Jin Haicheng replied.

"That was already a year ago."

"Yeah, in the blink of an eye it’s been a year, and the leading actress role you promised me is still not confirmed." Jin Haicheng said to Zhou Yuanzhi.

"There’s no suitable project really, and besides, you’re banned now. Casting you would be reckless."

"Director Zhou, you have to help me find a way!" Jin Haicheng clung to Zhou Yuanzhi’s arm, rubbing her chest up against it.

"I’m here to pick you up as a side trip, just to see you. I do know some people at the broadcasting company, and I’ll reach out to them when I get back, treat them to a meal, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll grease the wheels with some gifts. It should be fine." Zhou Yuanzhi told Jin Haicheng.

"Director Zhou, you’re the best!"

"You take good care of me today, and if I do feel better, I won’t need the doctor. Maybe then I’ll consider giving you that main role."

"Director Zhou, how did you become so incapable in just a year? Won’t you share if there’s an actor you’ve fallen for? If she’s not up to snuff, what can I do?" Jin Haicheng asked, teasing Director Zhou.

"That’s why I need you to take good care of me."

Jin Haicheng gave it her all, but Director Zhou’s heart was like still water, his body like a stone, unfazed by her allure.

"Ah, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, a hero well past his prime..." Director Zhou sighed deeply, helplessly.

"I have medication for that!"

"I can’t take any more medication. The doctor said the side effects are severe, and if I develop a dependency, I’ll be finished."

"Ah..." Jin Haicheng sighed too.

"Then I’ll be going now." Director Zhou began to pack up his clothes to leave.

"Director Zhou, what about my issue?" Jin Haicheng asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Don’t worry, I’m here to treat my condition, once that’s done and I’m back in Beijing, I’ll handle it for you." Zhou Yuanzhi said.

"Director Zhou, please hurry, if this drags on any longer, I’m doomed!"

"With me here, what are you worried about? That’s it for today; I have to meet Director Sun and the physician tonight. Once I’m better, I’ll come back and take care of you!"

"You tease! Oh, are you meeting Director Sun?" Jin Haicheng asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Yes, he’s the one who recommended the physician." Zhou Yuanzhi answered.

"Director Zhou, how about taking me along to dinner?" Jin Haicheng asked Zhou Yuanzhi.

"You’re like an eel in the water, slipping through every crack you find." Zhou Yuanzhi joked, eyeing Jin Haicheng.

"Hehehe."

"Let me tell you, Director Sun is a righteous man, and he and his wife are quite in love, considered a model couple. There’s no crack in this egg for you to slip through, so just forget about it." Zhou Yuanzhi said.

"Director Zhou, you said the same thing to me the first time we met!" Jin Haicheng smiled suggestively at Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Alright then, I’ll take you along, and I’ll see how you plan on dealing with him."

In the evening, Director Sun, Song Xiaodong, and Xiao Yingying were waiting for Zhou Yuanzhi at the turtle feast.

"You tell me, this Zhou guy, doesn’t even consider his own health important. Mr. Song’s here, and Zhou said he’d be here by the afternoon. I told him to come straight to me, yet who knows where he’s off to again?" Director Sun complained to Song Xiaodong.

"Director Sun, please be patient, after all, he’s a Great Director, surely has his own plans, let’s just wait a bit." Song Xiaodong said to Director Sun.

"If we wait any longer this turtle soup will get old. Knowing he’s not working properly, I’m treating him to turtle soup deliberately, yet he’s late, is that reasonable?" Director Sun continued.
