Superstars of Tomorrow - Chapter 465

Chapter 465: Don’t Even Think Of Stealing The Dog

Yanzhou Military District. A number of reporters were gathered and preparing for an interview session with an armored division that had returned from a mission when one of them exclaimed in astonishment.

“Is that Fang Zhao?!”

The others turned to look over.

“Looks like it!”

“From the dog at his side, it is certainly Fang Zhao!”

“What is he doing in Yanzhou Military District?”

“He must have just disembarked from a military flying transport. There are still two soldiers escorting him.”

“Interesting. What is he doing this time?”

One of the reporters intended to snap a few photographs but was stopped by the others.

After regaining his composure, that young reporter regretted acting a little too rashly.

When inside the military district, it was best to refrain taking photographs of anything they weren’t permitted to.

He still had to control his impulses even if he was burning with curiosity. Otherwise, they would all be removed from the premises immediately, and their professional careers would come to an end prematurely.

But, even if they couldn’t take photographs, it didn’t stop them from some private gossip.

“I have a feeling Fang Zhao is going to cause a disturbance again.”

“Recently, news concerning him is all over the globe. I thought that he was still busy with the matter of the Poseidonsaur fossil. I never imagined that we would actually see him here.”

“Come to think of it, I haven’t heard much about his movements recently. The internet discussions are all about the fossil situation. None are about his whereabouts.”

“I heard from my friend that many entertainment reporters are trying to track Fang Zhao but are just unable to find him. Entertainment reporters these days have really declined. Back when I was young, those entertainment reporters were so quick it gave us headaches. They were able to dig out information before we were even able to publish anything.”

It was indeed just as this reporter said. Due to the buzz from the Poseidonsaur fossil discovery, everyone was naturally trying to observe and track Fang Zhao.

However, unlike before, there were quite a number of investors wanting to watch Fang Zhao.

When analyzing the process of the Poseidonsaur fossil’s excavation, many people reckoned that Fang Zhao had surely gotten information beforehand, which was why he had purchased the island so quickly.

After a further analysis of Fang Zhao’s road to fame, anything that Fang Zhao did seemed to cause a sensation. This incident with the Poseidonsaur fossil definitely wouldn’t be the last!

Thus, these people had watched Fang Zhao carefully. They really wanted to know whether Fang Zhao would covertly go excavate more fossils. Or, perhaps he had discovered other stuff that was even more valuable?

However…

He had f*cking disappeared again!

Fang Zhao, his assistant, bodyguards and the dog that could dig up fossils had all f*cking disappeared!

They had never even attended the unveiling ceremony of the Poseidonsaur fossil exhibit. They were definitely up to something even more important!

But, there simply wasn’t any news of him recently.

Investigate!

Investigate what exactly has that fellow has been up to recently!

Was he going to cause sensational news again?!

They waited and waited, but there was no news.

It wasn’t just investors who felt suffocated. Netizens not seeing any developments also became impatient.

Fang Zhao’s last public appearance was in Yanzhou. Thus, Yanzhou netizens started to exert themselves.

The same old accustomed practices…

“Wang Tie, you piece of trash!”

“Wang Tie! Time to come out and work!”

“Look, Wang Tie, we have even started a crowdfounding page. See that? More than 10 million people have already pledged. Conservative estimates predict that it will cross the 100 million mark this time tomorrow! All this money will be yours as long as you can dig out news about Fang Zhao! Are you surprised? Astonished? Pleased?”

Thus, with the amount of mentions and activity, Wang Tie’s name became a trending topic.

Wang Tie: “…” Thank you every f*cking body!

While many on the crowdfunding platform were busy bashing Wang Tie, Fang Zhao had already switched to a connecting flight headed for the orbiting space station. They would have a stop over at the orbiting space station for two days before proceeding to Planet Yin.

At the space station, Fang Zhao saw other artists invited to Planet Yin as well as an old friend.

This friend was none other than the specialist villain and wife flaunter, Qiao Tingzheng. They had collaborated back on the set of “Founding Era”. This time, Qiao Tingzheng’s wife Windsor had been invited to perform at Planet Yin, so Qiao Tingzheng came along as an accompanying family member.

Qiao Tingzheng was delighted to see Fang Zhao and said he would come find Fang Zhao for a chat after stowing his luggage away.

Nanfeng came over and whispered to Fang Zhao, “Boss, I have seen all the artists who have been invited. You are the youngest among this batch.”

Fang Zhao’s experience was also the least.

Even though Nanfeng didn’t finish speaking, Fang Zhao understood what Nanfeng meant.

Having the least experience could mean having to suffer some grievances. However, Fang Zhao was prepared for all these.

A middle-aged artist walked by them. His gaze fell on Curly Hair who was by Fang Zhao’s feet. This middle-aged artist frowned, as if a little unhappy before turning to Fang Zhao. It looked as if he was about to say anything, but it ended up as a “humph” before this artist stormed off.

Fang Zhao, who had already gotten up to greet him: “??”

Fang Zhao knew the middle-aged artist who had stormed off for unknown reasons. He was David Hull, one of the three great violin masters on the planet and also the flamboyant Fay “Fayfay” Harmonik’s teacher.

Recently, Fay Harmonik and Zaro were having an online spat. However, Fang Zhao didn’t pay much attention to it and didn’t know the current circumstances of their online spat.

Unlike Fay Harmonik who was extremely high profile in the entertainment circles, his teacher David Hull kept a much lower profile. Besides performances and lectures, he was rarely seen in the public eye.

Fang Zhao had never spoken to this person before, nor had they ever crossed paths. This occasion was the closest they had ever been. Fang Zhao didn’t know what this globally acclaimed violin master would be upset with him for.

After David Hull was some distance away, Nanfeng leaned closer and said softly, “I recognize the one who just went by us. A violin great master. His student is Fay Harmonik who has considerable presence in the entertainment circles and is often compared against you. I reckon that is the reason he seemed miffed at you, Boss.”

Things like this were common within the circles. Nanfeng believed that he had found out the reason and that if it wasn’t the truth, the real truth wouldn’t be too far off.

Fang Zhao, however, didn’t think so. However, he too wasn’t certain why David Hull would be angry with him.

Fang Zhao only got the answer to that question when Qiao Tingzheng came over to chat.

“David Hull? Oh, him…” Qiao Tingzheng glanced at Curly Hair lying down at the side. “He would surely be pissed! That’s because his application to bring along his beloved pet dog was denied. Before coming here, I still heard someone consoling him that those going to perform on a foreign planet would have no way of bringing a dog. He was already gloomy, so how could he not be pissed seeing you bring a dog just after arriving on the orbiting space station?”

Qiao Tingzheng told Fang Zhao all about this globally acclaimed violinist and his dog. He had heard all of this from his wife.

“…The thing this great master loves most besides his violin is his dog. Before these two great loves of his, even his beloved disciple Fay Harmonik would have to give way. Mhmm, this is his beloved dog.”

Qiao Tingzheng then showed Fang Zhao a saved photo of David Hull’s beloved dog.

David Hull’s beloved dog was a product of artificial cultivation. It had a gene base of three types of Old Era hunting dogs and had iconic “long hair”. It looked really elegant when it was well-groomed.

Nanfeng also came over to steal a glance.

“This great master… has a special fondness for long hair.”

Qiao Tingzheng also chuckled. “Indeed, he rather likes long-haired varieties.”

As he said that, Qiao Tingzheng glanced at Curly Hair by the side. “Your dog’s fur can’t be considered especially long, so perhaps he doesn’t find it too pleasing. However, you can relax. He still treats dogs very well and is merely envious of you right now. Don’t worry, he isn’t really angry at you.”

Qiao Tingzheng then eyed Curly Hair again. He knew that this dog had recently caused quite a sensation in the news. “The first bone of the Poseidonsaur fossil was really dug out by him?”

“It was him,” Fang Zhao confirmed.

“I even thought that it was just the media making things up and sensationalizing it.” Qiao Tingzheng eyed Curly Hair like he was some sort of rare and precious object.

Curly Hair stuck his tongue out and droplets of saliva dripped down. He licked his lips continuously and appeared somewhat agitated.

“Does he feel a little too hot inside?” Qiao Tingzheng asked.

Although he didn’t know dogs that well, he could still understand simple common sense. For example, a dog letting his tongue hang loose, panting and salivating meant it was trying to cool down… right?

But, everything was normal when Qiao Tingzheng checked the room’s temperature and pressure. Rationally speaking, it shouldn’t have been happening.

“He just hasn’t adapted that well yet,” Fang Zhao replied calmly.

“Makes sense. It is quite difficult for pet dogs to get used to a space station’s atmosphere. I heard that dogs are all afraid of height. Coming to a place like the space station can also be considered a very high place, right? Hahaha!” Qiao Tingzheng was amused by his own joke.

Fang Zhao smiled courteously, but deep down, he was even more worried.

This dog had gone into the ocean to forage a day before they had set off. He also didn’t transform often and didn’t consume much energy, so how could he be hungry?

He was just having a craving.

There was a lot of power ore in the space station. It was very enticing given Curly Hair’s now expanded diet.

Fang Zhao even suspected that if he didn’t watch Curly Hair carefully, this dog could really eat the entire space station.

Fang Zhao increased the restrictions on Curly Hair upon seeing such a reaction. He also gave Curly Hair lessons in private. Only then did Curly Hair curb himself a little. Or,at the very least, he no longer drooled all the time. However, his eyes would still dart around furtively.

Fang Zhao and these other invited artists were called for meetings every once in a while, so Curly Hair couldn’t be by his side at all times. Therefore, the assignment of watching Curly Hair closely was given to Nanfeng and the other two. Fang Zhao had brought these three over for the sake of watching the dog.

“You three watch him closely.”

Nanfeng, Zuo Yu and Yan Biao replied in full seriousness, “Understood!”

Don’t even think of stealing the dog!
