Li Ru said, "Better not, I don't even know them. Besides, if I don't go back, Qin Yueguan and the others will definitely laugh at me later.

I was just suddenly reminded of something and felt a bit sad, but I've adjusted myself now."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. Let's go back."

The two of them walked back and went to their respective rooms. Li Ru also returned to the previous room.

What they didn't notice was that at another corner of the wall, Cao Xueyi was standing there.

Cao Xueyi hadn't intended to see Ling Zhenfei and Li Ru; she was just there to get something but happened to see Ling Zhenfei holding Li Ru while she cried in his arms.

It was only after Ling Zhenfei and Li Ru had walked away for a long time that Cao Xueyi snapped out of it, put on a forced smile, and continued with her work.

Ling Zhenfei arrived at the room where Xue Yunyi was. Inside were people from the entertainment industry, besides Xue Yunyi, Xu Tao, and Wu Wenli, there were also several directors from the Capital City.

Ji Mei was also seated inside but didn't speak, just whispered something quietly to Wu Wenli nearby.

They debuted as artists together, so they are very familiar with each other.

Many people stood up to greet Ling Zhenfei when he walked in. It was a gesture of respect towards him.

After some small talk, Ling Zhenfei sat down again.

A director said, "Mr. Ling, do you remember you once acted in a TV drama?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled and said, "Did I act in a drama? How could I have forgotten?"

The person said, "I just got the news too. That drama is about to be released. It's called 'Workplace Storm'. The trailer is out, and you're in some shots."

Ling Zhenfei thought carefully. Indeed, a long time ago, he had shot a small part in a TV drama while visiting Li Yuetong. An actor couldn't perform well, so they had Ling Zhenfei step in.

Unexpectedly, Ling Zhenfei played the role naturally, earning praise from the director.

But so much time had passed that Ling Zhenfei had almost forgotten. Now, upon hearing that the drama was about to be released, he was undoubtedly delighted.

Ling Zhenfei said, "This is really great news."

"At that time, we all must watch Divine Doctor Ling's performance carefully to see how it really is." Someone chimed in, "Such things often lead to breakthroughs. Considering how well Ling Zhenfei does in both medical arts and culinary skills, it's evident he's a smart person and would also do well as an actor."

Xue Yunyi said, "That's exactly it. Nowadays, in the entertainment industry, people of all kinds of statuses participate in filming. It's just another means of generating buzz."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm really curious, what's so exciting about creating buzz over such things? It's quite interesting. I only participated in a little bit of filming, just a few scenes, barely two acts, and I die. Why is it being said to be sensational?"

A director said, "Of course, it matters. If you rely solely on your own efforts, your popularity isn't very high. So a bit of buzz just helps to add fuel to the fire."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Regardless, I'm not very fond of those who create such hype."

Xue Yunyi said, "Mr. Ling, actually, we don't want to beat around the bush and waste time, so I'll be direct."

Ling Zhenfei said, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Xue Yunyi said, "Earlier, I discussed with a few directors. They're preparing a new script that requires two people to act together."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and said, "What do you mean?"

Xue Yunyi said, "It's quite simple. The other lead is you. We're the main characters."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Why me? I haven't acted in a long time and have no experience."

Xue Yunyi said, "Your character just needs you to be yourself."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it. I don't even know what role I'm supposed to play."

Xue Yunyi said, "There's no problem there. I think you're definitely capable. Don't worry; we'll discuss the details later."

After thinking a bit more, Ling Zhenfei eventually agreed.

Anyway, it's just acting in a movie; such a small matter didn't weigh heavily on Ling Zhenfei's mind.

Initially, they weren't planning to discuss it, but they ended up talking about it at the table, getting more and more excited as they went.

Ling Zhenfei had a great time drinking with these people, eventually drinking so much that he didn't even know when he'd had enough.

He only remembered going to other tables to drink, one after another, until he finally drank himself under the table.

In the end, Ling Zhenfei didn't even know how he got back, but when he woke up, he was already lying in his own bed.

Checking the time, it was already midnight; who knew when he had fallen asleep.

Having rested enough, Ling Zhenfei actually didn't feel the need to sleep longer; instead, he found himself with more free time.

Ling Zhenfei contemplated a bit and decided to refine some elixirs.

Due to various activities, He Lingxiu hadn't returned today, still in the hall of the General Administration of Sports, treating people for free.

Last time, Ling Zhenfei had refined quite a few elixirs, but since He Lingxiu was treating so many, they surely weren't many left.

Moreover, the leaders of the General Administration of Sports had once provided Ling Zhenfei with a large amount of medicinal materials, but before he could start refining, an incident occurred, leaving him only with the option to go ahead with it.

All night long, he focused on refining elixirs, fully utilizing the Northern Spiritual Energy this time to produce a large batch of elixirs.

This time, the Phoenix Pill Furnace seemed to be of little help, merely an assistant in the process.

Throughout the night, Ling Zhenfei successfully refined all the herbs within the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow.

With Ling Zhenfei's current scientific level, who knows what others might think of him.

After waking up in the morning, Ling Zhenfei had plenty to do. He felt like there were more things on his plate these days.

The XiSha Restaurant's breakfast team had already started their work.

Breakfast requires getting up quite early, and many people find that difficult, so there's a dedicated team to make breakfast early in the morning.

Ling Zhenfei was quite pleased. Although it was only the second day since opening, many people had heard and came for breakfast, proving that all the media work yesterday was perfectly executed.

The breakfast at Xi Shan Restaurant is naturally much cheaper than lunch and dinner.

They serve traditional Chinese foods like soy milk, youtiao (fried dough sticks), and crepes; they have everything. With Ling Zhenfei's innovations and understanding of Xi Shan Restaurant, they hoped to earn a bit more money.
