Chapter 717: Requesting Help From Master Lin
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Several days later.
Lin Fan’s life was very ordinary as usual. There had been no big incidents or exciting happenings.
Shanghai TV.
Because he had agreed to beco a singing ntor for Shanghai TV, he ca here to et them. At the sa ti, he was also there to discuss the money.
Regarding money, Lin Fan wasn’t very interested. However, he couldn’t just work for free. He had to make so money from it.
“Master Lin, this was an unrealistic wish for us but you actually ca. Let give you an introduction. This is our Director Liu,” introduced the Deputy Director.
Lin Fan smiled and shook the man’s hand. “Nice to et you, Director Liu. I enjoy watching your shows very much.”
Director Liu smiled, “Master Lin is too courteous. For Master Lin to enjoy watching our show, it is our honor.”
Although Lin Fan was younger, his achievents could not be underestimated.
The man might have been a Director, but he was still very serious about eting Lin Fan.
They sat on the sofa and the staff carried tea and water over. Initially, only the Deputy Director was required to discuss the collaboration. However, Director Liu was very curious about Lin Fan and he naturally wanted to personally receive him.
His first impression was that Lin Fan was so young that it was scary. At such a young age, Lin Fan was already so successful. Moreover, he was very warm and did not give off a feeling of arrogance at all.
He was soone who was easy to converse with.
“Master Lin, this show of ours is called ‘Strongest Heavenly Voice’. We’ve invited a total of four ntors and you’re one of them. As for the other three, you’ll know who they are when the ti cos. We’ll wait for the climax,” said Director Liu with a smile.
Lin Fan said, “Alright. I’m very excited about this unknown aspect. But, Director Liu, since you are willing to invite , I should also tell you what I don’t like. I don’t like shady business. If there is any shady business involved in your show, tell truthfully and I shan’t stay around any longer.”
Director Liu was taken aback. Then, he laughed, “You don’t have to worry about that, Master Lin. Our Shanghai TV isn’t short of money or relations. Hence, there will definitely not be any shady business involved. That, I can vouch for. However, this is the first ti I’ve truly witnessed how relentless you are against corruption, Master Lin. No wonder you were able to force Ying Jin to suffer silently.”
Lin Fan smiled as he waved his hand. “You’re praising too much. I draw a lot of hate. I don’t even know how many enemies I have. But this is considered my second ti cooperating with Shanghai TV. The first was on that anti-gambling show.”
The Deputy Director didn’t say anything as he stood at the side and let the Director interact with Master Lin. If there were any questions, he would explain.
In the end, they ca to an agreent. The appearance fee that Lin Fan would receive was $20,000,000.
This was already considered a very high price. With Lin Fan’s current fa, he definitely wasn’t qualified to earn that much. Ying Jin was able to earn a $100,000,000 because she had the reputation. Although Lin Fan didn’t like Ying Jin, he had to admit that after being in the industry for so long, Ying Jin was very successful.
The negotiations ended and Lin Fan didn’t stay any longer. He left the place.
The Deputy Director was confused as he asked, “Director, $20,000,000 is too much, isn’t it? Although Master Lin has so fa, I don’t think he deserves such a high price.”
“Fa isn’t important. If I think it’s worth, then it’s worth. Although Master Lin is young, he has my regard. There aren’t many young people like him these days,” said Director Liu with a sigh.
The Deputy Director didn’t say any more. If it was going to be $20,000,000, then so be it. However, it was a little higher than what the three other ntors were being paid.
On the street.
Lin Fan was in a very good mood. He was actually going to beco a ntor. Just thinking about it made him excited. As for the $20,000,000, he didn’t have much use for it. It would be best to use it on the Welfare Institute and create an even better ho for the children.
At that mont, his phone rang.
Lin Fan looked at the phone display and couldn’t help but be puzzled.
It wasn’t the call that was shocking, but the person who was calling. It was Ye Zhen Ming, who had exchanged numbers with him before.
It was that Ye Zhen Ming who was one of the Gambling Kings.
They had been on the show together. Although they hadn’t interacted much, Lin Fan knew that his character was alright.
After picking up the call, Lin Fan asked with a smile, “Teacher Ye, we haven’t contacted each other in so long.”
On the other end of the call, Ye Zhen Ming seed quite excited. “I never thought that Teacher Lin would still rember .”
“What are you talking about? How could I not rember?” Lin Fan laughed.
Ye Zhen Ming had hesitated for a long ti before making this call. Ever since that ti, they had not interacted with each other. Especially in these few months, Teacher Lin had gotten a lot of attention and he was no longer soone who they, as gambling people, could compare to, socially, anymore.
In fact, Ye Zhen Ming had thought that perhaps Teacher Lin had already forgotten about him or even deleted his phone number.
But unexpectedly, Teacher Lin still rembered him. This made him feel very touched.
At that mont, Ye Zhen Ming stamred. He wanted to say sothing but he was embarrassed to say it.
Lin Fan said suspiciously, “Have you t with a problem, Teacher Ye?”
“Sigh,” a sigh ca from the other end of the call. “Teacher Lin, I’m really ashad to say this but I have no choice. Besides you, there’s no one who can help Ou Xing Yun and I anymore.”
This Ou Xing Yun was the Northern Gambling King. Like Ye Zhen Ming, he used to be an expert at cheating. Later on, they went through a drastic change and entered the anti-gambling industry.
The three of them had gone head to head on the show and with his ability, Lin Fan had caused the two of them to submit.
But as Lin Fan rembered, the two of them had been high-spirited at the ti. Why did Ye Zhen Ming sound so gloomy now? He even sounded a little depressed.
“Tell . If I am able, I’ll definitely help as long as it isn’t anything illegal.” Lin Fan thought about it for a mont. Although they weren’t very familiar, they still knew each other. Since Ye Zhen Ming had actively called Lin Fan, Lin Fan couldn’t just ignore him. But of course, Lin Fan wouldn’t do anything illegal.
If it was sothing illegal, Lin Fan would not help and on top of that, he would even put the two of them down.
Ye Zhen Ming said, “This is the situation, Master Lin. Brother Ou and I have always been gamblers but we’re also technical advisors at Haojiang Lottery Supervisory. We work at Mr. Yun’s casino. But recently, sothing happened. A middle-aged man ca to the casino and he’s winning money everyday. He would win $10,000,000 and then stop before coming back the next day. This has gone on for eight days. In these few days, Brother Ou and I have been studying him but we have not discovered his cheating techniques. In the end, Brother Ou and I went up personally, hoping to find a loophole. However, we failed miserably. Hence, I’m hoping that Teacher Lin could co and help us out. Of course, we’ve already prepared a reward. We definitely won’t let Teacher Lin work for nothing.”
Lin Fan’s brows furrowed. “I don’t gamble.”
Ye Zhen Ming said anxiously, “Teacher Lin, it’s not gambling. I’m just hoping that you could help us take a look and see if he’s cheating. If he really is cheating, it would be easy for us to resolve this. If he really isn’t cheating, then we wouldn’t be able to do anything. We’d only be able to restrict him from entering the casino and categorize him as an unwelco personnel.”
Lin Fan said, “Then you can just restrict him. Why do you have to clarify things?”
Ye Zhen Ming explained, “Teacher Lin, we could do that but if word of it spreads, it wouldn’t be good. People would say that our casino cannot afford to lose. It is only a last resort and we can’t let it happen. That’s why we really want Master Lin to co and take a look.”
Lin Fan thought for a mont. He did not have anything coming up soon indeed. And judging by Ye Zhen Ming’s tone, he was in such a panic that he was about to cry. He was probably having a tough ti and under a lot of stress.
“Alright, then I’ll co and take a look. I’ll take a flight tomorrow. You guys can just co and pick up,” said Lin Fan.
Ye Zhen Ming said emotionally, “Thank you, Teacher Lin. Thank you...”
He hung up.
Lin Fan chuckled as he shook his head. Although he had obtained the gambling knowledge, he wasn’t planning to gamble. Because he was too dominant, it was aningless.
