For Xu Qian, the forum poster was just an ordinary client, but for her, it was a unique experience.
Although collecting the medicinal herbs took some time at first, the results were many times better. She took the medicine for a month as a last resort, and her scalp stopped being oily. Her hair quality gradually improved, and the newly grown hair and the ends looked the same at first glance, but when you touched them, you could tell they were different. They were much stronger, and she no longer had to grab handfuls of hair...

Searching and searching = Duan Yisi
The fact that the original poster closed the thread pushed the already heated discussion to its peak. Unfortunately, the original poster had already closed the thread, so no one else could follow it even if they wanted to. But before closing the thread, the original poster proved something very important - their hair could be saved!
Sure enough, when Duan Yisi got home from work, she found her private message inbox flooded with messages. Eighty percent of them were asking about doctors, and the remaining twenty percent, well, they were accusing her of conspiring with the original poster to create hype.
This is ridiculous! Who would bother to stir up this for no reason?
When Duan Yisi got angry, she started banging away on the keyboard...
...
Duan Yisi brought a large number of 'customers', and her father felt he had a hard time explaining it to her, so he hurriedly asked his colleague Lao Cheng. Lao Cheng also felt that he couldn't make the decision, so he contacted Bai Jiamu through his friend. When Bai Jiamu heard that there were nearly a hundred people applying, he felt even more overwhelmed and hurriedly went to ask the person in charge.
Xu Qian:
So many people...
Bai Jiamu knew that Dr. Xu's main job was acting, and thought that the other party must be quite busy with his work. He was already working hard enough to help these old friends make medicine, so he felt a little embarrassed that the doctor had suddenly come to visit.
Xu Qian hesitated for a long time before replying. Deep down, he didn't really want to agree. He'd seen too many situations like this. At first, small-scale incidents were manageable, but as more people involved, suspicions arose. People would either suspect he'd embezzled the medicine or that the herbs had been switched. Human nature is complex; there are always various suspicions. Plus, with so many people talking, the aftermath could be quite troublesome.
After listening to Xu Qian's concerns, Meng Ziqiu thought for a moment and offered a suggestion.
"If you think it will be troublesome later, why don't you find a middleman and stop them from sending the herbs? There are all kinds of people online. Just have the middleman provide the herbs for a fee. If there are any left over, you can decide whether to do charity or something else."
Meng Ziqiu had spent quite a while with Xu Qian and had come to understand his personality to some extent; in today's terms, he was a "truly good person." While his initial intentions were good, they seemed somewhat idealistic in this increasingly profit-driven society. Fortunately, he himself seemed to be aware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have found it "troublesome."
Xu Qian thought about it for a moment and thought it was a good idea, so he told Bai Jiamu about it. Bai Jiamu was all for it. Every time he sent medicinal herbs, he was exhausted from acting as an intermediary. If it weren't for his father's frequent help, he wouldn't have had the time to handle it.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jianfeng immediately patted his chest and agreed to take on the project. He had just retired this year and was just idling at home anyway, so he might as well do some 'public service'.
Yes, it's a public service. The cost of those meager medicinal herbs is nothing compared to the results they achieve! Besides, people seeking medicine for special conditions like baldness are genuinely concerned about their appearance, so their sincerity is understandable.
Furthermore, Bai Jianfeng plans to adopt a one-person-one-medicine policy to prevent any resale.
Seeing his father's enthusiasm, Bai Jiamu was also happy. He added some details to his father's plan. He also took some time to make a website with Peng Fei and then hired a cheap and capable female student from his school to manage the website. In this way, 'Wuqi Pharmaceutical' officially set sail.
The name is a bit strange, but since Dr. Xu came up with it, let's hang it up!
If we were to say what the emergence of 'Wuqi Pharmaceuticals' brought Xu Qian, it would probably be a new mobile phone and a new WeChat account.
From today onwards, he's someone who has two cell phones!
...
Days passed, and after two days of applying the medicine, it was time for Xu Qian to go to work on the film set.
As Xu Qian's personal follower, Meng Liangchen also managed to get a chance to go to the film set. However, Xu Qian had instructed him in advance not to take photos of the filming on set, and even more so not to circulate them.
Then……
"...Is your brain made of mush? I told you to talk back to him! Not to act all coy and flirtatious. Whose eyes are you trying to hurt by acting like this? Huh? Can this take even pass? I'm asking you! If it's not going to pass, get out and find someone else. Don't waste my time..."
Xu Qian swallowed hard and silently covered Meng Liangchen's ears, telling him that children should listen to and watch less.
Zhang Xianzhi cursed for two minutes straight without repeating himself, finally managing to get the take filmed. As soon as the director yelled "cut," someone brought tea to his lips. He glanced at it lightly, gave a cold snort, and then took the tea and 'reservedly' sipped it.
Compared to his appearance, his temper is really terrible!
And here we are again, arguing.
"What are you all standing there for? Where are they! Go call for help!"
Xu Qian pushed Meng Liangchen behind him, signaling him to hide in the corner; it was his turn to go on stage.
The scene Xu Qian was in was set in winter, and as a sickly strategist, he was dressed even more warmly, wearing a cloak and a scarf.
To fit the background story, a group of actors dressed in winter clothes had to huddle around a large heater in the summer, and rub their hands together from time to time to prove how cold it was in winter.
Xu Qian was probably the least affected person. Her face was still clean and clear, without sweating or makeup smudging, which was the most important thing, saving her the time of touching up her makeup.
Zuo Yan, the third male actor who co-starred with him, was quite surprised and a little envious. This kind of physique is so suitable for filming period dramas. First of all, the makeup artist must really like it.
If the makeup artist knew, they would definitely speak up. It's not just about liking it; the way Xiao Xu's skin adheres to the makeup is simply amazing! Seriously, they don't like to touch up their makeup. It's a waste of ink, and if there are any problems on camera, they'll be blamed. These days, there's no such thing as an easy job.
Scene 39 was filmed smoothly, consisting entirely of dialogue scenes. This was evident from the fact that Director Zhang didn't yell at anyone. They filmed one take after another without any pauses. In fact, this is the normal filming schedule, or rather, the filming schedule for most of the time. There aren't that many "gold mountains" that can turn him into a tiradeer.
"Okay, take a five-minute break and get ready for the next match in a different location—" Zhang Xianzhi pulled up the previous video and looked at it again. It was much better than he had imagined.
Zuo Yan slipped over when they yelled "cut" earlier, also to see the actual filming effect. When actors reach this stage, they can do almost anything and are no longer confined to the sidelines of actors.
Director Zhang is quite 'approachable' when he's not yelling at people; he's not that fierce with normal actors.
Seeing this, Director Zhang's gaze fell on the last scene of the previous clip, which was the detail of the hands of Zhao's strategist, Wei Zhengqing. His fingers were long and slender, not as tough as one might imagine; on the contrary, they were somewhat soft.
Acting and filming are both very interesting things. They have their reasons for existing, both positive and negative. Actors use their bodies to express the emotional control of the characters in the play, which should be the basics, but not every actor can do it.
Zhang Xianzhi nodded. He was satisfied with the new actor the company had signed. Although he was not from a professional acting background, he had a good grasp of the details of acting. With proper training, he could become a promising talent. More importantly, he was from his own company, so it was cheap.
"Xiao Fang—" Zhang Xianzhi called out with his head down.
"This, this, this—" A short young man emerged from the crowd. He was roughly twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, only reaching Director Zhang's shoulder, and even shorter than many girls.
"Have all the location shooting arrangements been made?" Director Zhang asked him.
"Okay, okay, anytime!"
“Alright, let’s change the location. Call everyone, and also call the stunt double, the stunt double for ‘General Cheng’!” With that, Director Zhang strode away with his long legs, walking very fast, so fast that Xiao Fang had to chase after him to keep up.
The group moved things around, held umbrellas, and created a chaotic yet orderly scene.
...
The actors in the 'Zhao Kingdom Chapter' didn't finish filming until 3 a.m. the next day. Two-thirds of their scenes were filmed at night, which was quite tiring. If there hadn't been an infectious disease outbreak, they wouldn't have had to rush so much. Unfortunately, plans never keep up with changes, and as supporting actors, they had to make time for the main actors when necessary.
Yes, the main actors. Since the two lead actors in the crew had conflicting schedules, the supporting actors had to take the lead. It's perfectly normal for them to work overtime and film all night.
Xu Qian didn't go home that day. He only asked Yan Lang to help send Meng Liangchen back, while he spent the night in a hotel with a few male actors.
When Xu Qian recalled it later, he felt that it was probably the most tiring film crew he had ever worked on. He was like a spinning top that never stopped, going from scene 1 to scene 2 and then to scene 3, over and over again.
And so, Xu Qian busied himself around the film set for three days like a puppet. Finally, their beloved lead actor returned! It was truly moving!
With only three precious days for filming, Director Zhang will naturally prioritize their scenes, allowing other scenes, such as the Zhao Kingdom episode, to rest.
Just then, Meng Ziqiu brought him some good news—'Hua Laosan' would be attending a jewelry auction in Beijing this Wednesday, which is tomorrow.
"Alright, I'll go to the auction myself. You stay here—"
"No way, I was thinking of taking Xiaoliang to the capital for a visit. Why don't you go do your thing and we'll go have some fun?" Meng Ziqiu grabbed his younger brother and rubbed his face hard, his smile quite 'perverted'.
"Waaaah—" His face was being squeezed out of shape! Let go, you beast!
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. "Has Meng Ziqiu been a bit too free lately? I see him everywhere," he thought. "Aren't you spending time with your girlfriend?" he asked.
"Mao's girlfriend is gone!" Meng Ziqiu's expression suddenly changed; 'ex' became a new taboo in his mind!
"Sigh, young man—" But Xu Qian didn't stop him. The only things that can heal a broken heart are time or a new love. As far as Meng Ziqiu is concerned, a new love is out of the question. Only time can save him.
"Alright, I'll go pack my bags. Let's book the plane tickets for tonight. Xu, you'll have to figure out your own arrangements, right?"
Xu Qian responded with an 'OK' gesture; you get used to hitchhiking on airplanes.
