Several dayster.
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 be a singing mentor for Shanghai TV, he came here to meet them. At the same time, 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 some money from it.
“Master Lin, this was an unrealistic wish for us but you actually came. Let me give you an introduction. This is our Director Liu,” introduced the Deputy Director.
Lin Fan smiled and shook the man’s hand. “Nice to meet 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 achievements could not be underestimated.
The man might have been a Director, but he was still very serious about meeting 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 coboration. 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 sessful. Moreover, he was very warm and did not give off a feeling of arrogance at all.
He was someone who was easy to converse with.
“Master Lin, this show of ours is called ‘Strongest Heavenly Voice’. We’ve invited a total of four mentors and you’re one of them. As for the other three, you’ll know who they are when the timees. 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 me, 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 me truthfully and I shan’t stay around any longer.”
Director Liu was taken aback. Then, heughed, “You don’t have to worry about that, Master Lin. Our Shanghai TV isn’t short of money or rtions. Hence, there will definitely not be any shady business involved. That, I can vouch for. However, this is the first time 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 me too much. I draw a lot of hate. I don’t even know how many enemies I have. But this is considered my second time 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 exin.
In the end, they came to an agreement. 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 fame, 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 sessful.
The negotiations ended and Lin Fan didn’t stay any longer. He left the ce.
The Deputy Director was confused as he asked, “Director, $20,000,000 is too much, isn’t it? Although Master Lin has some fame, I don’t think he deserves such a high price.”
“Fame 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 mentors were being paid.
On the street.
Lin Fan was in a very good mood. He was actually going to be a mentor. 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 home for the children.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Lin Fan looked at the phone disy 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 seemed quite excited. “I never thought that Teacher Lin would still remember me.”
“What are you talking about? How could I not remember?” Lin Fanughed.
Ye Zhen Ming had hesitated for a long time before making this call. Ever since that time, 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 someone who they, as gambling people, couldpare 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 remembered him. This made him feel very touched.
At that moment, Ye Zhen Ming stammered. He wanted to say something but he was embarrassed to say it.
Lin Fan said suspiciously, “Have you met with a problem, Teacher Ye?”
“Sigh,” a sigh came from the other end of the call. “Teacher Lin, I’m really ashamed 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 remembered, the two of them had been high-spirited at the time. Why did Ye Zhen Ming sound so gloomy now? He even sounded a little depressed.
“Tell me. If I am able, I’ll definitely help as long as it isn’t anything illegal.” Lin Fan thought about it for a moment. 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 something 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, something happened. A middle-aged man came to the casino and he’s winning money everyday. He would win $10,000,000 and then stop beforeing 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 coulde 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 unwee personnel.”
Lin Fan said, “Then you can just restrict him. Why do you have to rify things?”
Ye Zhen Ming exined, “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 ast resort and we can’t let it happen. That’s why we really want Master Lin toe and take a look.”
Lin Fan thought for a moment. He did not have anythinging 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 time and under a lot of stress.
“Alright, then I’lle and take a look. I’ll take a flight tomorrow. You guys can juste and pick me 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 nning to gamble. Because he was too dominant, it was meaningless.
