Chapter 771 Awarded Top Ten Youths!
Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu found that after the battle with Diwu Qian, the internal Qi of his 12 standard meridians in his body overflowed naturally at a much faster speed. It was even faster than when he intentionally stimulated it in the battle.
The moment this feeling occurred, Fang Qiu immediately closed his eyes to explore. As a result, he found that he was only one step away from breaking through to the seventh cla.s.s.
“Spur with long acc.u.mulation?”
Enjoying the feeling that he was about to make a breakthrough, Fang Qiu beamed in surprise.
Under these circ.u.mstances, it seemed that his strength had suddenly improved a lot.
But in fact, that was not the case.
After reaching the peak of the sixth cla.s.s, Fang Qiu still practiced every day. During this period of time, he also experienced numerous battles. During these battles, his strength was enhanced, little by little.
Although he had broken through to the seventh cla.s.s once, the re-cultivation this time opened up the 12 standard meridians in his body, so that they were much wider than before. The Internal Qi that he needed to acc.u.mulate would also be much stronger.
As the 12 standard meridians turned into Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the first change would happen in this body. Only when his body was strong enough would he have a chance of impacting the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Otherwise, his body would explode before the meridians could be opened.
In this case, after breaking through to the peak of the sixth cla.s.s, the Internal Qi that should have overflowed would naturally spread to the whole body to strengthen it.
And now, after the two continuous battles, Fang Qiu’s body had been completely strengthened. Then, all the internal Qi that had overflowed had acc.u.mulated and was about to make a breakthrough.
It was also because of this that Fang Qiu had reached this stage in such a short time.
“It seems that I don’t need to struggle to cultivate. I just need to wait quietly for the day of the breakthrough to come.”
After feeling it, Fang Qiu opened his eyes with a grin and left Yaow.a.n.g Mountain.
Two days later, the winners of the Top Ten Youths awards in the world were officially announced.
Fang Qiu was on the list and was the only person in Huaxia who had ever received this award.
Of course, this award was a symbol of world-cla.s.s honor and there were no so-called rankings among the ten people on the list.
As soon as the news came out, there was a heated discussion online in Huaxia.
Everyone was exceptionally thrilled.
In particular, some Weibo celebrities even reposted the news one after another, gus.h.i.+ng forth with all kinds of flattering remarks about Fang Qiu.
The netizens were also celebrating.
“As I said, Fang Qiu would definitely be selected!”
“Haha, Fang Qiu is awesome.”
“He is one of the Top Ten Youths in the world. This is not a national selection.”
“Fang Qiu is incredible. Those foreigners are not in favor of Chinese Medicine and it is not even recognized by them. But Fang Qiu managed to bring Chinese Medicine to the world stage. He even won the honor of being of one of the world’s top ten outstanding young people with his Chinese Medicine skills. He is really awesome!”
Not only Fang Qiu’s fans but also those who barely knew him praised him wholeheartedly.
After all, there were only ten people in the world who could receive this honor every year. Few people could win one of the places on behalf of Huaxia.
At the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Fang Qiu’s cell phone kept ringing.
Of course, it was not a phone call.
Instead, there were many WeChat messages and text messages.
In the beginning, Fang Qiu wondered if something serious had happened, but when he checked the message, he eventually knew that he had received an award.
Immediately, he checked the text messages, one by one.
The first person to send his congratulations was Director Li Huawen.
“Congratulations, you’re one of the top ten outstanding young men in the world now. You’re going to be a hit again, haha.”
Seeing this message, Fang Qiu smiled slightly. He did not expect that Director Li Huawen still remembered him.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he did rise to fame through the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor show. Although he was already slightly famous before that, he did gain popularity while partic.i.p.ating in the show.
He continued to swipe his phone.
It was a text message from Jiang Mengjie.
“Congratulations, smart guy. You have not finished college yet. But you are already one of the top ten outstanding young people in the world now. It might be difficult for you to exceed this achievement in the future. So I want to congratulate you on reaching the highest point.”
It was followed by text messages from Xu Miaolin, Dr. Shen Chun, Zhao Shanlin, Liu Feifei, Qi Kaiwen, Chen Yinsheng and many others. Fang Qiu checked them one by one and replied with thanks.
As he was checking his phone, it suddenly rang.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
“Dad?”
Seeing the caller ID, Fang Qiu suddenly became serious.
Since he was in high school, he had been away from home for many years. It was always his mother who called him. He had never received a call from his father.
Without hesitation, Fang Qiu immediately answered the phone.
“Dad?”
Fang Qiu could not believe it. After answering the phone, he asked cautiously.
“Yeah.”
As expected, Fang Qiu’s father’s voice came from the other end of the phone. He said, “I asked your mother to call you, but your mother forgot to pay her phone bill.”
“Oh.” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.
“Well.”
Fang Qiu’s father said, “I’ll just say a few words to you. After that, I’ll let your mother talk to you.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu nodded and immediately listened carefully.
“A person can’t be too high-profiled or too low-key in his life. He can’t have too much honor, but might still need a little of it. I’ve seen your efforts in the past few years and I hope you can continue.”
Fang Qiu’s father’s tone was very serious and he spoke rather slowly. It seemed that he wanted Fang Qiu to hear every word clearly.
“However, people can’t only live for the honor. You are an individual. What you need to do most in your whole life is to live for yourself. It is the most important purpose to spend your life in the most comfortable way. Many people get lost and go astray because they encountered too many external effects and temptation.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Fang Qiu’s father asked.
“Never forget how I started out.”
Fang Qiu said with a smile, “Dad, your son is definitely focused.”
“Okay.”
Mr. Fang smiled and said, “I’ll let your mom talk to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
“Son, you’re amazing.”
On the other end of the line, his mother’s voice came.
Fang Qiu said with a grin, “Mom, don’t get too excited.”
“How can I not be excited?”
Fang Qiu’s mother said, “You’re one of the top ten outstanding young people in the world. How can I not be excited? I heard that there’s going to be some kind of ceremony. You must put on something nice when you attend it. Don’t embarra.s.s me.”
“Let’s talk about it later.”
Fang Qiu had not decided whether to attend the award ceremony or not.
With the reposting of various influencers on Weibo and the heated discussion among fans and other people following this matter, Fang Qiu once again surged to the top of the trending topic on Weibo.
The number of his followers on Weibo was also close to 40 million!
Even many celebrities became Fang Qiu’s fans.
After having the phone call with his parents, Fang Qiu replied to all the messages and WeChat messages. Then he logged into Weibo with his phone. Amidst the well wishes from everyone, he sent a post on Weibo, which only had three words written in it—Thank you all!
That afternoon,
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Fang Qiu received a phone call from an unknown foreign number. Worried about the high expense of the international direct dial, he hung up several times in a row. But the unknown caller would not stop calling. He had no choice but to answer the phone.
“Is it Mr. Fang Qiu?”
A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone. It was someone speaking in English.
“Yes, I’m Fang Qiu.”
Fang Qiu nodded in response.
“h.e.l.lo, this is the International Youth Chamber of Commerce. First of all, congratulations to you for winning the award of being one of the Top Ten Youths in the world, which was held by our organization. Also, thank you for your contributions to the world this year.”
The person said on the phone.
“Thank you.”
Fang Qiu responded politely.
“Our awards ceremony will be held in three days. I hope you’ll be there at that time.”
Fang Qiu hesitated for a moment and then declined the invitation.
This trip would require him to go abroad. Fang Qiu still had plenty of important things to do next. There was not much time left before his battle with Yun Yangzi. Prior to that, Fang Qiu had to break through to the seventh cla.s.s before he could have a big fight with Yun Yangzi.
Under these circ.u.mstances, it was better not to go abroad.
Only Fang Qiu knew about the invitation. The International Youth Chamber of Commerce did not make it public.
That night, the outside world was still filled with congratulatory messages for Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu then received another call.
This time, it was also an unknown number, but this number was from Huaxia.
“h.e.l.lo?”
Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“Is it Fang Qiu?”
A slightly anxious sounding voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Speaking. What’s the matter?”
Fang Qiu asked.
“I’m the representative of Bamboo Forest Group. We met each other at your advertis.e.m.e.nt auction.”
The person on the other end of the line said.
“h.e.l.lo.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
“I’m calling to ask you something. After the auction, are you still keeping the promise you made to us when you asked us 10 companies to establish a health management department?”
The man asked.
Fang Qiu immediately thought of the condition he had promised the ten companies before—A chance to cure cancer!
“Hmm?”
Fang Qiu was stunned.
“It’s a chance to cure cancer.”
The man reminded him.
“Of course.”
Fang Qiu nodded immediately.
“Okay.”
The man’s tone relaxed. He immediately explained, “Actually, our chairman’s father has just been told that he is in the middle stage of cancer, so the chairman asked me to contact you. He hopes you can help with the treatment.”
“No problem.”
Fang Qiu nodded immediately and said, “Tell me the address. I’ll be there right away.”
“No. 18 of the 3rd building in the Imperial Garden, Capital.”
The man said.
“Okay, tell your chairman that I’m coming right now. I’ll be there tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, Fang Qiu hung up.
Then he booked a plane ticket and rushed to the airport.
Early the next morning, when Fang Qiu arrived at the place, he found that it was actually a private sanatorium.
This sanatorium was really big. Every old person who lived here had a small courtyard. It seemed that it catered specially for the rich.
When Fang Qiu arrived at the sanatorium, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman came out to greet him.
“h.e.l.lo, Doctor Fang.”
As soon as the middle-aged man came to him, he immediately shook hands with Fang Qiu and said, “I’m Lin Jinzhu and this is Zhang Yuan, the director of the sanatorium.”
“Doctor Fang, you are finally here. If you did not turn up, President Lin will be worried to death.”
