Chapter 764: Senior Brother and Junior Sister Met, Wreck the LI Family (1)
Sending a few cards meant nothing to him; it was an easy task.
The most important thing was that last year, he was pressured into collaborating with the Pei Group of the Great Xia Empire. Not only did the investment of several billion recoup, but the subsequent income also multiplied several times.
Raphael hadn’t originally considered this company significant, but suddenly earning a substantial amount turned out to be an unexpected windfall.
The head guard was having a tough time and immediately went to find Si Fuqing’s schedule.
As a celebrity, Si Fuqing’s schedule wasn’t a secret; it could be found in fan forum.
However, it was the head guard’s first time using Weibo. Even though he was proficient in the language of the Great Xia Empire, the various slang and trendy words left him dizzy.
“Your Highness, Miss Si is working today, recording a variety show at Sijiu City First Hopstial,” the head guard said. “Shall we wait until after six o’clock to visit her?”
“We shouldn’t disturb her during working hours.” Raphael nodded. “We’ll wait until she gets off work.”
This visit to the Great Xia Empire had two purposes. First, he needed to investigate the “ghost” what had pranked him last time.
Second, he was looking for someone.
News from the Free State indicated that the person controlling the eight major ore veins of the Free State had appeared in the Great Xia Empire.
He wanted to see who was richer than him.
Sijiu City also had properties belonging to the Duke of Muston.
One of them was a five-star hotel in the city center.
The presidential suite was never open to the public, reserved exclusively for the Duke of Muston.
Upon checking in, Raphael eagerly had the head guard turn on IFTV to watch the latest two episodes of “Crossing the Demon Realm.”
These two episodes aired at eight o’clock last night on the Starlight Channel. Unfortunately, Raphael didn’t understand Chinese, so he had to watch the international channel.
Yesterday, “Crossing the Demon Realm” aired two more episodes and remained trending this morning.

The Demon Cavern arc was crucial for tempering Sui Yan’s character.
Her fragmented soul was repeatedly shattered and reforged until it reached perfection.
Without this training, she couldn’t become the goddess of war uniting the three realms.
The two episodes were tightly paced, with no filler, yet viewers still felt they hadn’t seen enough.
Unlike other dramas where people discussed the plot, “Crossing the Demon Realm” had viewers consistently demanding more episodes.
[Why only two episodes? You said you’d release thirty today!]
[I shouldn’t have started watching so early; now I’m stuck with only four episodes and nothing else.]
[There are actually quite a few dramas this winter, especially historical romances, but “Crossing the Demon Realm” has set my standards too high. Other historical dramas look terrible in comparison, with poor action scenes and male leads so weak they can’t even lift a 90-pound female lead, yet they complain about the female lead being heavy in the behind-the-scenes.]
[Putting “Crossing the Demon Realm” alongside other historical dramas just lowers its class. But you can safely watch “Crossing the Demon Realm” — no male lead, just the Celestial Ruler needs to die!]
After two days, both “Crossing the Demon Realm” and “Great Zhao Dynasty” had just begun their plots.
But “Great Zhao Dynasty,” being a historical drama, had a slow pace and stretched to eighty-four episodes, making it increasingly exhausting for viewers.
[Actually, “Great Zhao Dynasty” should have cast a young starlet for the opening. Tong Luoyun is over thirty, playing a teenage girl is a bit much, or they could have started directly from the Empress period.]
[Sigh, I’ll stick with it for a few more episodes.]
Actually, Tong Luoyun had other ambitions when she returned to the television industry three years later.
Tong Luoyun’s team wanted her to achieve a second grand slam because breaking into the international acting scene was too difficult.
They aimed to win the three major television awards this year.
But now, it seemed this second grand slam was uncertain.
Tong Luoyun’s agent had considered other established leading actresses but hadn’t anticipated Si Fuqing emerging as a dark horse.
He initially thought Si Fuqing’s fans were exaggerating but had to admit, after watching her breakout scenes, that her acting was exceptionally smooth for a newcomer.
In comparison, Tong Luoyun was overshadowed.
Sang Yanqing’s keen eye for talent proved true again, signing increasingly impressive artists.
The agent sighed, realizing they should focus on films instead.
He selected a few scripts to discuss with Tong Luoyun.

At six o’clock in the evening, at Sijiu City First Hospital.
Si Fuqing had just finished preparing the last document.
She took off her sterile suit and left with Ning Zhi.
Beside them, Lu Xingheng accompanied them.
