Mo Lang was the one who had spread the news that Fang Zhao was working on his thesis so that those people would back off.
Fang Zhao wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for him. He naturally understood Venerable Mo's good intentions, and he was more than willing to focus on music and artistic creation, so he was very cooperative.
Mo Lang had just finished reading the first draft of the thesis Fang Zhao had given him. He looked at the time and thought that there probably wouldn't be anyone coming today. Just as he was about to head upstairs to rest, the doorbell rang. Mo Lang's expression immediately darkened.
"Venerable Mo, it's Prof. Carter and the others," his assistant said.
Mo Lang's expression softened a little when he heard that it was them. He could roughly guess why Carter and the others were here. "Let them in."
Professor Carter brought two of his disciples and three of his fellow disciples over.
"I originally didn't intend to trouble you, but I happened to bump into them. They all had some problems they couldn't solve, so I decided to come over to try my luck," Prof. Carter explained.
Looking around, Prof. Carter asked, "Is Fang Zhao still in the study? How's the progress of his thesis? "After all, Fang Zhao was his nominal student, so he had to show some concern.
"It's still alright. It's more efficient without anyone to disturb him," Mo Lang replied. "The end of the year is when people are the most restless. I have to keep watch. If it's inconvenient for him to refuse or speak up, I'll do it!"
One of the people who had come with Carter hurriedly said, "With you overseeing things, others can forget about disturbing him. They don't have the guts to —"
Before he could finish, he saw Fang Zhao walking over from the study.
"Teacher Mo, I have to apply for leave."
Fang Zhao had just been editing his thesis in the study when he received a conscription order to bring Curly Hair to a designated location for testing within three days. Although he had a lot of freedom and wasn't bound by military rules and regulations, he couldn't refuse orders from above during reserve duty unless there were special circumstances.
Based on Fang Zhao's understanding of current affairs, the most important military activity was the upcoming Whale Island Conference. Representatives from various military districts, bases, and collaborating parties would gather on Whale Island to hold a conference on military science and strategy. The conference was held once every five years and was extremely important. Logically speaking, Fang Zhao didn't have the qualifications to participate. Even performances during the conference would be arranged by people of Prof. Carter's level.
Prof. Carter had been busy performing for the Whale Island Conference during this period, but the conscription order that Fang Zhao had received was clearly different.
Shortly after receiving the draft notice, Fang Zhao received a call from Wai Base Commanding Officer Huo Yi. Huo Yi had arrived in Huangzhou yesterday to participate in the Whale Island Conference.
"Did you receive the conscription order?" Huo Yi seemed to be in a good mood.
"I just got it," Fang Zhao replied.
"I recommended you to the Whale Island Conference's inspection team. The level of the conference is too high. In this kind of matter, even I only have the right to recommend, but not the right to decide. Whether you can stay or not depends on your test results. But I have faith in you! Fang Zhao, for this kind of thing, the allowance for the duration of the mission isn't much, but the military merits recorded will be added to your file. Whether it's for you or Little Curly Hair, it's a good thing! You have to prepare seriously! "
Was the paper more important or the Whale Island Conference?
For Huo Yi, this was simply a free point question! He didn't even need to use his brain. He could even close his eyes and choose the latter! In the face of the Whale Island Conference, performances and papers were all secondary.
Fang Zhao was also very curious about the Whale Island Conference. Given his rank, there was no way he could attend. Huo Yi had fought for a spot for him, so Fang Zhao expressed his gratitude. Even if it was just the Inspection Team, being able to experience it was still pretty good.
After making his decision, Fang Zhao went to look for Mo Lang to apply for leave.
Upon hearing that Fang Zhao wanted to apply for leave, Mo Lang didn't say anything immediately. He just frowned and stared at Fang Zhao.
Because there were still other people present, Fang Zhao didn't say much and went over to show Mo Lang the draft notice.
Mo Lang's face stiffened, and his expression turned extremely ugly. Even an artist of his level had no choice but to take a step back.
"The second revision of the paper has been completed. It has been sent to your email address. I will apply for a day's leave and participate in the test tomorrow, "Fang Zhao said in a low voice.
"Alright," Mo Lang said unwillingly.
What else could he say?
Professor Carter and the others were still there, so Fang Zhao left after bidding them farewell. Carter and the others who were left behind shrunk their necks when they saw Mo Lang's gloomy expression. Indeed, today wasn't a good day. They shouldn't have come today.
After leaving the Mo residence, Fang Zhao returned to his dormitory and waved at Curly Hair. "Come over. I will explain to you how to conduct the test tomorrow."

The next day.
Fang Zhao brought Curly Hair to the designated testing area on the conscription order.
The test was divided into preliminary and secondary tests. The main test subject was Curly Hair.
First, Curly Hair's health condition had to be checked. Curly Hair was not aggressive and obedient. These were all considered preliminary tests and were the most basic requirements. After the preliminary test was the ability to search and quarantine tests.
Fang Zhao also had his own tests, which included an ability test and a psychological test. These were relatively simple and were completed in less than half an hour. Curly Hair's test duration was two hours.
After all the tests were completed, Fang Zhao's results were "outstanding." Curly Hair's results were considered top-notch in the various tests and his overall score was third.
Fang Zhao had served in the military on planet Baiji and had been praised by the military many times, so there wasn't much of a problem. Curly Hair had also served on planet Wai. Most inspection dogs needed at least a year of work experience before they could take the test. Although Curly Hair didn't have enough experience and was still a pet dog, Wai base had strongly recommended him and he had military merits, so the inspection team was willing to give him a chance to take the test.
To put it simply, Curly Hair had the ability, work experience, and a recommendation. As long as there were no problems with the background check and they lacked dogs, they were willing to give him a chance. But who would have thought that this dog's test results would be so good!
The people at the testing center were discussing the test results.
"Fang Zhao is still alright. After all, his dog isn't a professional inspection dog and can't compare to the two elite dogs from the police dog academy. But overall, he can be considered a top-notch dog. He's worth 200 million, so it isn't considered hype."
"He's still a small pet dog. His discipline isn't good enough either."
"Why don't you say that his pet dog already has this ability? He isn't any worse than the elite dogs from the police dog academy!"
"This result is enough for him to enter the inspection team."
If Curly Hair had only ranked in the top tens or even lower, they would have hesitated. After all, this was a pet dog, and the owner was still a reserve duty soldier. However, the higher-ups had said that the security checks this time would be upgraded. They didn't lack good inspection dogs, but there weren't many with such good test results. Half of them were serving in outer space ports or on outer planets.
After some discussion, they ultimately decided to keep Curly Hair. Thus, the Whale Island Conference inspection team's only inspection dog with a "political appearance" was born.
Fang Zhao had just returned to his dormitory when he received the official notification.
"We passed the test," Fang Zhao said.
Curly Hair wagged his tail vigorously, seeking praise. He had followed Fang Zhao's instructions for today's test!
Fang Zhao had given Curly Hair more food and unlocked the gaming restrictions so that Curly Hair could play to his heart's content tonight. After all, once he entered the conference for a mission, he wouldn't be able to touch a game console for at least two weeks.
After informing Nanfeng and the other two of the new arrangements, Fang Zhao contacted Mo Lang and informed him of the results.
Mo Lang was silent for a while before sighing. "I won't say much about the things that need to be reminded. The relevant person-in-charge should have told you to keep things confidential during the conference. Pay attention to your own safety. "
"I told the outside world that I was going into seclusion. My assistant has already made arrangements," Fang Zhao said.
"When are you going over there?"
"They informed me that I will report tomorrow."
Mo Lang sighed again. His heart was stifled. There were too many things he wanted to say, but he couldn't spit them out. He had considered all aspects, but he hadn't expected that the conscription order would mess up all his plans! No matter how unwilling he was, he still had to let Curly Hair go. Luckily, Fang Zhao wouldn't be going on a mission for long, only about two weeks.
It was the end of the year, and the internet was reporting on the annual meetings of various large companies, celebrations, thank-you meetings of advertisers, etc. Every day was like a festival. News of Chu Bo's concert application had also been released. Next year, he might hold concerts in various continents. Furthermore, news had just been released today that Chu Bo would appear at Jinzhou's new year celebration. This would have been impossible in the past. Who would be willing to listen to Chu Bo scold people at the new year celebration? What a bad influence! Jinzhou's Ministry of Cultural Affairs still cared about their reputation. Now that Chu Bo could control his voice, having him attend the New Year's Eve celebration would attract a lot of attention.
However, when Chu Bo was mentioned, someone mentioned Fang Zhao, who had performed on the same stage as Chu Bo during the Star Cup victory ceremony.
"Speaking of which, there hasn't been any news of Fang Zhao since the Star Cup victory ceremony performance."
"I wonder if Fang Zhao will be attending Yanzhou's new year celebration."
"Rumor has it that Fang Zhao has been locked up by some big shot to write a thesis."
"That doesn't mean that he can't even make time for the New Year's Gala. He even participated in the Star Cup Celebration."
"Who else has inside information? Come out and reveal it to me."
"Wang Tie! Don't play dead!! "
Wang Tie, who was dragged out by netizens every time he played dead, expressed his anger. He also wanted to fight back, but his paparazzi king instincts told him that he should choose to give up, especially this time! Forget it, he would release some big news about a certain movie queen in advance tomorrow to divert attention.
The official account of Silver Wing Media, one of Yanzhou's three big entertainment companies, also had quite a number of messages regarding Fang Zhao.
"Hey, where's your family's Fang Zhao? He should be dragged out for a walk! "
"No matter what, Fang Zhao is also a Yanzhou citizen. Of course he has to come to our Yanzhou for the New Year's Eve celebration. Don't let that Huangzhou little bitch snatch him away!"
"Right, right, right! Huangzhou just loves to snatch other people's celebrities! "
Even Silver Wing Media's internal artists were discussing in private. Did the company look for Fang Zhao this year? The spots for Yanzhou's New Year's Eve celebration were split among a few large entertainment companies. In addition, there were also some independent singing and acting stars. The competition was already intense, and with Fang Zhao, their chances were even slimmer.
However, Silver Wing's upper echelons were also worried. They really wanted to look for Fang Zhao, but the problem was that they could only contact Fang Zhao's assistant. They simply couldn't find Fang Zhao himself!
At this moment, Fang Zhao, who many people were concerned about, had already brought Curly Hair into the Whale Island region.
Whale Island was a man-made island off the coast of Huangzhou. It was surrounded by lakes on all four sides, and in the center of the island was a huge building that looked like a whale. That was the venue for the Whale Island Conference.
There was still a week before the Whale Island Conference, but the Whale Island region had already been busy since half a year ago.
Fang Zhao brought Curly Hair to the registration window and handed in his gun, personal terminal, clothes, communication tools, firearms, and equipment. During the mission, he was not allowed to contact the outside world. If there was an urgent matter, he could make an application. If there was an emergency call, there would be a special person to pass the message. In short, all he had to do was carry out the mission properly and not think about anything else.
