Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1523 "Heading North" - Xia Fenghua

"What mischief are you plotting?" Jiang Chen said before Huang Yimei could speak.

"What bad idea? What bad idea could I possibly have?" Huang Yimei was a little dazed, unsure how Jiang Chen had known her thoughts.

“Why not? For example…” Jiang Chen whispered a series of bad ideas in Huang Yimei’s ear.

Jiang Chen's bad idea was indeed bad.

However, it's different from ordinary bad.

The "bad" Jiang Chen was referring to were people who were bad in ways that couldn't be described.

Huang Yimei blushed deeply upon hearing this, staring at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

His expression was as if he were seeing Jiang Chen for the first time.

"Honey, are these the bad ideas you've been thinking of?" Jiang Chen asked.

“How could that be…” Huang Yimei firmly denied.

She just wanted to cause trouble for Jiang Chen, how could she possibly be thinking about such things?
Wouldn't thinking about something like that just benefit Jiang Chen? Is she that kind of person?

"If not this, then what is it?" As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, a piece of clothing fell silently to the ground.

"I..." Huang Yimei could only utter one word before she couldn't finish.

Of course, it was also because Jiang Chen didn't want Huang Yimei to do anything.

After all, it's quite normal for someone as intelligent as Huang Yimei to come up with some crooked ideas.

Jiang Chen actually understood Huang Yimei's thoughts, but he wanted to curb her arrogance.

Moreover, conquering something in that aspect is still a form of conquest.

Jiang Chen only got dressed and left after Huang Yimei fell asleep.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the lobby, he saw Xu Hongdou.

"I wonder when I'll be able to win over Xu Hongdou."

Jiang Chen walked outside while thinking.

A moment later, Jiang Chen drove away from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Five minutes later, a torrential downpour began.

"It's already September, and I didn't expect the rain to come so suddenly."

Jiang Chen sighed and then continued driving towards the courtyard house.

Well, since the Waldorf Hotel is surrounded by surveillance cameras, and adhering to the principle of caution, Jiang Chen didn't use invisibility or flight talismans to leave. After all, it would be troublesome if someone discovered he had entered the Waldorf Hotel but didn't come out of the surveillance footage.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.

"Ok?"

After driving for a few more minutes, Jiang Chen saw someone stop the car.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen didn't want to pay attention, but then he saw the person blocking the car.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one Orange Spirit Fruit.]

"A Luo of Oranges?"

"This is the fifth time I've received the Orange Fruit from checking in."

The Orange Spirit Fruit is a spiritual fruit used to cultivate spiritual power, and it is of a higher grade than the Crimson Spirit Fruit. Although the Orange Spirit Fruit and the Crimson Spirit Fruit differ by only one character, they are worlds apart. It can be said that this is the fourth thing to increase spiritual power, besides the Elementary Spirit Nourishing Pill, the Intermediate Spirit Nourishing Pill, and the Crimson Spirit Fruit.

"After refining the Crimson Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute can be increased by 24 points, while after refining the first Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 240 points, and after refining the second Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 120 points."

"This is an extraordinary treasure!"

"Although only martial artists at the Spirit Abyss Realm can refine the Orange Thought Fruit, it is an extraordinary thing."

Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Xia Fenghua, a character in "Northward".

In the drama, she plays a lively and cheerful girl who grew up by the Grand Canal. She and her childhood sweetheart, Xie Wanghe, went to Beijing together to pursue their dreams. By chance, Xia Fenghua meets Shao Xingchi, and together they create the large-scale live-action performance "A Thousand Miles of the Grand Canal." Xia Fenghua relentlessly pursues her dreams, never giving up. Her relationship with Xie Wanghe is tumultuous, marked by separations and reunions. After overcoming many difficulties and challenges together, they finally come together.

"Xia Fenghua in 'Northward'?"

"What a coincidence..."

In the drama, Xia Fenghua grew up with her parents in the red-light district by the canal. She grew up with Xie Wanghe, Zhou Haikuo, Shao Xingchi and others in the courtyard. The group of childhood sweethearts were a well-known little gang in the red-light district.

As a child, Xia Fenghua was a tomboy with a carefree personality. She would follow Xie Wanghe and others around all day, stealing watermelons and catching fish and shrimp. As a girl, Xia Fenghua was good at keeping watch, fighting, and doing all the things that boys did, and even doing them more fiercely. She ate at all the neighbors' meals. She always scolded and beat the three boys around her.

When Ma Siyi, the granddaughter of Xia Fenghua's grandmother, arrived in Huajie due to unforeseen circumstances, Xia Fenghua showed her gentlest side, shaking hands with Ma Siyi, eating wontons with her, and introducing her to every neighbor in the courtyard. Xia Fenghua noticed Ma Siyi's inferiority complex and sensitivity, so when Ma Siyi transferred to her new class, Xia Fenghua took the initiative to protect her. When Ma Siyi struggled to adjust, Xia Fenghua would make her syrup. Xia Fenghua's childhood dream was to marry Xie Wanghe and have their wedding on a boat.

Xia Fenghua's favorite celebrity is Li Yuchun, and she hopes to buy a front-row ticket to one of Li Yuchun's concerts with her own money when she grows up. Xia Fenghua's family is of modest means, and her parents often quarrel. The atmosphere at home taught her to be independent at a young age and also shaped her resilient personality.

After graduating from high school, she and Xie Wanghe went to Yanjing together.

However, since they went north, Xie Wanghe and Xia Fenghua seem to have switched places.

Da Hua Zi, who used to follow Xie Wang He around like a shadow, has grown up very quickly. She's become increasingly mature in her work, no longer driven by the impulsive desire to sign a contract with the photographer. She knows how to stand up for her colleagues and doesn't forget to remind Xie Wang He to repay Zhou Hai Kuo's favor. She even strongly discouraged Xie Wang He from proposing the idea in the first place.

Unfortunately, Xie Wanghe didn't listen. At that time, she was like a life navigator for Xie Wanghe. She disagreed with Xie Wanghe's radical management methods!
Xia Fenghua has her own set of principles for doing things. Perhaps it was the lack of a prestigious university education that allowed her to mature rapidly in society during those years. She has high moral standards and does not allow herself to do anything against her conscience. She does not flatter or fawn over CEOs of large companies, nor does she mistreat or mistreat her employees; on the contrary, she cares deeply about their living conditions.

She may not be a great entrepreneur, but she is definitely a great boss!

She rose from humble beginnings and climbed her way up step by step; she understands all too well the hardships faced by those at the bottom. Therefore, she always approaches things from the perspective of those struggling. Da Hua Zi's success wasn't built on capital, but on empathy and unwavering commitment to those at the bottom.

Xie Wanghe is different. He graduated from a prestigious university and entered a good company with a good platform. He lacked the tempering of society, and his starting point for doing things was from the perspective of the leader, and he lacked some empathy for the grassroots.

With Xia Fenghua's companionship and guidance, Xie Wanghe eventually succeeded in his business. It can be said that his success was inseparable from Da Huazi's support and guidance. Xia Fenghua, with her principles and kindness, not only achieved success herself but also illuminated Xie Wanghe's life.

At the beginning, she worked hard in the express delivery industry, running a contracted delivery station. Those days were particularly tough, but through diligence and kindness, she gained a foothold in the face of adversity and won the trust and help of many people. She not only grew step by step in her career, but also found her own value in this big city.

To pay tribute to the Grand Canal and showcase the inheritance and glory of national culture, Xia Fenghua, together with Shao Xingchi and others, created the large-scale live-action performance "A Thousand Miles of the Grand Canal". She devoted a great deal of effort and dedication to this project, and together with her partners, they successfully presented this breathtaking performance.

Xia Fenghua and Xie Wanghe experienced many ups and downs before their relationship finally blossomed into marriage. Xia Fenghua was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which was later determined to be benign. They became lovers. Xia Fenghua became pregnant unexpectedly, and Xie Wanghe gave up his life in Beijing, leading everyone back to their hometown to start a business. Xia Fenghua and her childhood sweetheart, Xie Wanghe, ended their life as migrant workers in Beijing.

"Xia Fenghua, like Ma Siyi, should be twenty-eight years old now."

"I wonder if Xia Fenghua and Xie Wanghe have slept together yet."

With that in mind, Jiang Chen drove over to Xia Fenghua's side.

He honked the horn and rolled down the car window.

"Take a taxi?" Jiang Chen looked at Xia Fenghua.

At this moment, Xia Fenghua showed no signs of being a tomboy.

She's clearly a strong, independent woman.

"Thank you." Xia Fenghua opened the back door and got in.

"Where are we going?" Jiang Chen asked Xia Fenghua.

The next moment, a look of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Based on his extensive experience, Xia Fenghua was still a virgin and had never been sexually exploited.

"It seems the plot hasn't reached that stage yet."

"but……"

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

“I want to go to…” Xia Fenghua gave an address.

"Okay." Jiang Chen started the car.

While driving, Jiang Chen asked, "What's the young lady's name?"

"My surname is Xia." Xia Fenghua didn't say her given name, only her surname.

"Miss Xia is really brave," Jiang Chen said.

"What?" Xia Fenghua was slightly taken aback.

“I’m a stranger. Aren’t you afraid to get in my car?” Jiang Chen said.

"Afraid? What will you do to me?" Xia Fenghua retorted.

"You're really vigilant. You'd better hold onto the pepper spray in your bag tightly," Jiang Chen said.

Xia Fenghua's expression changed slightly.

"Miss Xia, don't be nervous."

Jiang Chen glanced at Xia Fenghua in the rearview mirror and said, "I'm a fortune teller, so I could tell just by looking at you."

"Fortune telling?" Xia Fenghua merely glanced at Jiang Chen. It was as if she were saying, "Do you think I believe in that?"

"Don't believe me?" Jiang Chen glanced at Xia Fenghua and then said, "I can tell that you've liked someone since you were little."

Xia Fenghua did not respond.

“I can also tell that you were a tomboy when you were little,” Jiang Chen continued.

"You know me?" Xia Fenghua didn't believe in fortune telling and thought Jiang Chen knew her.

"I don't know him, I can only tell fortunes," Jiang Chen said.

"Really? Then you figure out what I do for a living?" Xia Fenghua said.

"Give me the money," Jiang Chen said.

"Pay money?" A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Fenghua's eyes.

“Yes, you have to pay for fortune telling,” Jiang Chen said.

"..." Xia Fenghua.

"You're so funny." Xia Fenghua said, then fell silent.

Jiang Chen smiled but didn't say anything, focusing intently on driving.

After half an hour.

"Miss Xia, we've arrived," Jiang Chen said to Xia Fenghua after stopping the car.

"How much?" Xia Fenghua asked.

"It's free," Jiang Chen said.

“No, I have to pay for the ride,” Xia Fenghua said.

"Ten yuan." Jiang Chen glanced at Xia Fenghua, took out his phone, and scanned the QR code.

Upon hearing this, Xia Fenghua paid the fare, got out of the car, and left.

“Xia Fenghua…”

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips, and then he drove back to the courtyard house.

"Reading a book?"

As Jiang Chen entered the hall, he saw An Qinghuan and the others holding books, chatting and laughing.

"Our CEO Jiang is here? We thought you weren't coming back today." An Qinghuan looked at Jiang Chen with a half-smile.

"With you guys here, how could I not come back? By the way, you guys can play some Honor of Kings when you have time," Jiang Chen said.

"Honor of Kings?" An Qinghuan and the others looked at Jiang Chen.

“Yes, the characters in Honor of Kings have various skills, and to win, you must combine various skills. We will definitely have a great war when we go to the Fourth World. Now we have talismans, and in the future we will have formations and other means. But how to combine and utilize these is the most important thing,” Jiang Chen said.

“That’s true.” An Qinghuan and the others nodded.

"Can formations be used too?" Yang Tao asked.

“Yes, this formation can…” Jiang Chen nodded and explained how to use the formation.

Jiang Chen said this in preparation for his next trip to the Fourth World.

However, Jiang Chen didn't say much. After chatting with An Qinghuan, he continued to cultivate the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique.

Yes, everything must be based on increasing strength.

……

The next day, Jiang Chen arrived at Shengji Hospital.

"The hospital featured in the TV series 'Surgeons' is Shengji Hospital."

"I wonder if I'll be able to meet those female leads?"

As Jiang Chen walked into Shengji Hospital, he was thinking.

At that moment, almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received 10,000 Iris Shields.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,660 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, a 100-cubic-meter expansion of your space ring, a high-grade low-level spirit field modification blueprint, and a high-grade spirit fish pond modification blueprint.]

"Kite Shield?"

"This is the seventeenth time I've checked in and received 10,000 Kite Shields."

According to the system description, the Kite Shield is a completely black shield. Its surface has patterns resembling tortoise shells, and it exudes an extremely heavy aura.

"The Kite Shield is a third-grade weapon."

"The armored cavalry gear is a fifth-grade weapon, which can withstand the attack of a second-rate martial artist, while this kite shield is a third-grade weapon, which can withstand the full force of a first-rate martial artist without any damage."

"Currently, the Star Riders number 10,000 and the Eagle Armor Guards number 10,000, all equipped with the Kite Shield. The number of Eagle Armor Guards will inevitably increase in the future, and the Kite Shield... can be stockpiled."

"Starting with Wang Ran, then Liang Youan, Liu Jing, Yan Xiaochen, Ma Siyi, Tao Yan'er, Zhao Yuepo, Bai Manyun, Xia Fenghua, and now Chu Jun, we've signed on to ten more leading ladies without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points and an expansion of 100 cubic meters in the space ring are the most basic special rewards."

"A high-grade low-level spirit field transformation plan?"

"This is the twelfth time I've checked in."

The Low-Grade Spirit Field Transformation Plan transforms existing land into Low-Grade Spirit Fields, with a total of ten acres of Low-Grade Spirit Fields that can be transformed.

The intermediate-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform one hundred acres of low-grade spirit fields.

The advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the intermediate low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform 1,000 acres of low-grade spirit fields.

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"High-grade spirit fish pond renovation plan?"

This is the eleventh time I've checked in.

According to the system introduction, the advanced spirit fish pond renovation blueprint transforms an existing fish pond into a spirit fish pond. The basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint can renovate ten acres of spirit fish pond. The intermediate spirit fish pond renovation blueprint is an upgraded version of the basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint, which can renovate one hundred acres of spirit fish pond.

The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is an upgraded version of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and can renovate 1,000 acres of spirit fish ponds.

"Therefore, the difference between the advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan and the low-level and intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plans is the number of acres to be renovated."

"The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is ten times that of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and one hundred times that of the low-level spirit fish pond renovation plan."

"This sign-in reward is really good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Chu Jun is a character in the TV series "Surgeons".

In the drama, Chu Jun is a resident doctor in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Renhe Hospital. As a newcomer, Chu Jun is a true novice in the workplace, lacking experience and naivety. Her initial unfamiliarity with workplace rules, her lack of confidence after being criticized for mistakes, and her difficulty in navigating relationships with superiors are all evident. After experiencing some setbacks, she gradually matures into a more excellent and responsible doctor.

"The plot of 'Surgeons' begins this year."

"Chu Jun..."

In the drama, Chu Jun was abducted by human traffickers when she was a child. Yang Fan, along with Teacher Qin, went to the orphanage to meet her and rescued her. They found her biological parents and she experienced growth in life. In the end, she and Yang Zixuan got together.

Like most medical students, Chu Jun's entry into the medical field was largely accidental. Their choice of medicine during college entrance exams wasn't driven by a passion for saving lives or personal interest, but rather by parental demands, teacher advice, and many other practical and pragmatic reasons. Chu Jun's interests and talents lay not in surgery or even medicine; her talent was in drawing. She entered medical school and became a doctor almost by accident.

Compared to her near-self-taught talent in comics, she was quite mediocre in medicine.

Lu Chenxi is a surgical genius with a genuine passion for surgery. Chu Jun is different; she lacks talent and even interest.

Is she hopeless in surgery? No, like most naive medical students, she possesses a valuable quality that will help her overcome the aforementioned shortcomings and become an excellent surgeon.

This quality is love and kindness.

She was timid, yet, despite her timidity, she risked her life to snatch sharp glass from a patient's side for their safety, nearly ruining her career in the process. Her excessive compassion caused her many mishaps. But this compassion and kindness would support her through countless difficulties in her long career ahead.

Chu Jun suffered a lot of injustice under Lu Chenxi's care. Lu Chenxi's behavior in this regard was extremely poor and even malicious. She disliked Chu Jun, believing she had gotten the job through connections, and even went so far as to say that Yang Fan taking her in was like an old cow eating young grass. This was incredibly cruel to an innocent girl. Chu Jun's weakness and lack of confidence were largely a result of Lu Chenxi's torment. She lost all hope and even became despondent.

Fortunately, she met Zhuang Shu. Zhuang Shu guided her meticulously, being both strict and kind, and ultimately helped her regain her confidence, transforming her completely and making rapid progress in her skills.

Many people thought Chu Jun had a crush on Zhuang Shu, and she might even think so herself. She secretly drew comics of Zhuang Shu teaching her, and regarded Zhuang Shu as her idol.

On the surface, Chu Jun is working hard because of Zhuang Shu. But in reality, she is working hard to become a doctor like Zhuang Shu herself.

If you can't write a medical record well, write it again and again, five or six times, until you get it right. If you can't remember the theory, work overtime and stay up all night studying it until you do. If you're not proficient in the operation, practice it repeatedly until you master it.

At the beginning, Chu Jun was a true novice in the workplace, inexperienced in the ways of the world. This manifested in her unfamiliarity with workplace rules, her lack of confidence after being criticized for mistakes, and her difficulty in navigating relationships with her superiors. However, after experiencing some setbacks, she gradually matured into a more outstanding and responsible doctor.

"Chu Jun? I didn't expect to run into her as soon as I entered Shengji Hospital."

"interesting."

A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind before he walked towards Chu Jun.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived in front of Chu Jun and asked, "Are you Chu Jun?"
