Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was nothing on the competition schedule today, so Guo Miao informed the teacher in charge of them and went to meet them.
Ning Zheng chose the restaurant according to Guo Miao’s preferences. It was an exquisitely decorated Chinese restaurant that served Haicheng cuisine.
When Guo Miao arrived at the restaurant, Ning Zheng was already there with a man she had never seen before.
Seeing Guo Miao walking over, Ning Zheng raised her hand and greeted her. The man she had never seen before also stood up.
“Hello, my name is Kevin. I’m a member of the organizing committee.” His Mandarin was a little awkward.
“Hello, I’m Guo Miao, the actress of Noni.” Guo Miao smiled at Kevin.
She recognized him. He was considered a very famous film critic internationally.
“Your movie this time is really marvelous. The possibility of winning an award is also very high,” Kevin said to Guo Miao. He had seen Ning Zheng’s works many times before, and Noni was outstanding.
Guo Miao had also left a deep impression on him.
“I think it will win this time.” Kevin was very confident. “1 hope to see more of your work in the future, Miss Guo Miao.”
Guo Miao shook her head. “I’m afraid that will be difficult.”
Guo Miao did not plan to become an actress, and she was not a professional actress. She was able to play the role well this time because she had her own understanding. Her acting skills could not be compared to a real actor.
Kevin felt a little sad when he heard Guo Miao’s words. He had hoped that she could star in the movie he was going to direct.
“It doesn’t matter. At least, you have left us with the memory of Noni, Guo Miao. But, Kevin, is Director Jack, the one you mentioned earlier, ready to make a comeback?” Ning Zheng asked Kevin.
This director was an internationally renowned director. Ning Zheng had consulted him a few times before, and Kevin was his disciple.
“My teacher is still paralyzed in bed. This time, he might need me to guide him.” Kevin’s eyes were filled with sorrow when he mentioned his teacher.
Originally, his teacher was in the prime of his life and still had the energy to direct some masterpieces. However, now, he was paralyzed in bed and had a life worse than death ahead of him.
Guo Miao frowned.
“Master Snow once recommended traditional Chinese medicine to me, but unfortunately, my teacher doesn’t believe in that.” Kevin sighed.
Guo Miao understood. It was probably because she had cured Sheng Guang’s eyes that Master Snow wanted to recommend her to his friend. Unfortunately, Director Jack did not approve of traditional Chinese medicine.
She sighed inaudibly.
Kevin noticed her response and asked, “Guo Miao, what do you think about Chinese medicine? Or do you know any good alternative medicine doctors that you can recommend to me?”
“I used to study under a teacher named Teacher Lin,” Guo Miao said after pondering for a while.
If she said that she was a doctor, it might not sound credible, but using the Lin family’s name might be more credible.
Kevin’s eyes lit up. “Is this teacher very powerful?”
“Yes, the doctor who cured Sheng Guang is a friend of this teacher,” Guo Miao lied without batting an eyelid.
Director Jack was rather impressive, and she wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with him.
Kevin’s eyes glittered. “Maybe you can give it a try, but my teacher is very stubborn. He has rejected all the doctors we’ve helped him find over the years.”
“What happened to Teacher Jack?” Guo Miao asked with a frown.
“Well… it was an accident.” Kevin hesitated. “A car accident.”
Guo Miao’s eyebrows twitched.
In her previous life, she had seen this matter on the news, but it didn’t seem to be as simple as a car accident. In addition, Teacher Jack was someone prominent, so this matter couldn’t just be an accident.
However, she did not say it out loud. She just nodded and said, “If it’s a bone injury, there should be a way to heal it.”
Kevin nodded. “It should be a bone issue. My teacher has been very depressed because of this. If you can help my teacher get out of this predicament, his family… No, no, no, he will definitely give you a very high reward.”
Guo Miao didn’t care about the reward. What she cared about was Jack’s family..
