He handed a membership card of International Medical Organizationâs core members to Si Fuqing before leaving.
Cai Zhongnian said, âFuqing, International Medical Organization is indeed a great place. You should consider it when you have time. The head of this organization comes from the Intercontinental Research Institute of the Free State. Let me tell you about this instituteâ¦â
Little Bai yawned continuously.
The master had already blown up the Intercontinental Research Institute; what was the point of this?
âYes,â Si Fuqing said seriously after listening, âtheyâre very wealthy, and I like that.â
Cai Zhongnian was speechless.
Their priorities were really different.

After parting ways with Yu Tang in front of the girlsâ dormitory, Si Fuqing left Great Xia University.
It was then that Sang Yanqingâs call came through.
âI saw someone took photos of you at Great Xia University,â she said with concern. âIs it related to the college entrance exam?â
âNo, nothing like that,â Si Fuqing replied. âJust another attempt to pull me out of the entertainment industry. A professor from International Medical Organization invited me to join them.â
Sang Yanqing was silent for a moment.
Had she just caused another national medical sage to not display her full potential?
But her heart had become so accustomed that she didnât even need to take medicine anymore.
After a few seconds, Sang Yanqing slowly said, âYou can tell this professor that if he can convince nearly a hundred million of your fans, you can leave the entertainment industry and join International Medical Organization.â
Si Fuqing sighed, a bit regretful, âI donât think I can manage that.â
âYou havenât posted on Weibo for a while,â Sang Yanqing said, massaging her temples. âGet online and start engaging with your followers.â
Ending the call, Si Fuqing rubbed her chin and picked up Little Baiâs paw, dressing it in a new skirt, and took a photo.
Little Bai looked aggrieved.
Its owner always used its photos as selfies and didnât even pay it.
Fans who had been eagerly waiting in the Super Topic finally saw an update from Si Fuqing and rushed to comment.
[@SiFuqingV: Fifteen days until the college entrance exam, letâs work hard together! Share this little gold-eating beast to receive endless good luck.]
The shares, comments, and likes surged exponentially. Within just a minute, the comments exceeded twenty thousand.
Si Fuqingâs popularity was genuine, and her influence was substantial.
A single Weibo post could immediately top the trending charts.
#SiFuQing,GoodLuckForCollegeEntranceExam
The postâs views quickly surpassed one billion.
[Good luck, wifey! Iâm taking the exam too, aiming for Great Xia University!]
[Everyoneâs aiming for Great Xia University? Go go go!]
[Whatâs the point of cheering? If she was serious, she wouldnât be doing variety shows and esports tournaments right before the exam. Right after the exam, sheâll go straight to filming. I bet sheâs not even serious about the college entrance exam.]
[If she attends the art exam and gets first place nationwide, itâs something, but scoring over 300 in the academic test? Dream on.]
[Wondering which school Si Fuqing aims for that she even looks down on Great Xia Film Academy.]
[Whatâs the big deal? Sheâs been nominated for the Nine Realms Award. Can Grat Xia Film Academy even compete? Stay salty, but our Sister Si remains the best [smile].]
Si Fuqing replied to a few fansâ comments before logging out.
Another new message came in.
[YUAN Mingchi]: Little junior sister, Iâve arrived in Sijiu City too. Iâm preparing things. Tomorrow, Iâll take you to the Ji family.â
Si Fuqingâs expression grew serious as she replied with a âOkay.â
Thinking about the Ji family matter, she almost missed a step.
âCareful,â a voice sounded, and a hand grabbed her arm. âAre you done?â
âAll done.â Si Fuqing looked up, her fox-like eyes lighting up when she saw Yu Xiheng. âIâm taking a break to prepare for the college entrance exam.â
âYes, I have some things to handle.â Yu Xiheng smiled faintly. âI need to go to the northern border of North State. Call me if you need anything.â
âNo problem,â Si Fuqing said cheerfully. âBrother Nine, since we rarely have time to relax, letâs go shopping at the pedestrian street.â
They walked to the pedestrian street and then reached the back gate of Guanghua Temple.
Si Fuqing spotted a bald head and immediately wanted to turn around, but it was too late.
âBenefactors, we meet again.â The monk clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddhist mantra. âSeeing the female benefactor in such good spirits today, I believe good fortune is coming your way. I am happy for you.â
Si Fuqing took a cautious step back. âI donât want a fortune reading, I donât have money.â
The monk was silent.
After a few seconds, he shamelessly continued, âBuddha saves those with affinity. Benefactor, you have such affinity.â
Si Fuqing was speechless.
She understood now; Buddha saves those with affinity but not those who are poor, which he was referring to her.
âYou go over there,â Yu Xiheng smiled as he patted her head. âIâll handle this.â
Si Fuqing hesitated. âBrother Nine, be careful not to get swindled.â
Yu Xiheng nodded. âDonât worry.â
Si Fuqing squatted by the river, poking at ants.
Yu Xiheng turned around, his expression unreadable. âHas her financial or romantic luck changed?â
The monk hesitated before rubbing his fingers together. âWell, benefactor, some funding is needed.â@@novelbin@@
Since Master Mingdeng passed away, Guanghua Templeâs incense offerings had dwindled.
He was still human and needed to eat.
Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow, eyeing the two QR codes for payment. âYou keep up with the times.â
But he paid without further comment.
âBenefactor, you truly have an imperial fate and the luck of Ziwei. Thereâs nothing you canât achieve,â the monk smiled. âI see good things coming your way in the next three months.â
Yu Xihengâs expression remained calm. âIf your words prove false, the incense offerings will cease entirely.â
âA monk does not lie,â the monk said seriously. âI wish the benefactor a smooth journey.â

Elsewhere, at Great Xia University.
Wu Wanying had received a notice from the administration, requiring her to vacate her dormitory within a specified time.
She returned to her dormitory, disheartened, only to find her roommate looking at her with mocking eyes.
âWu Wanying, didnât you claim that your thesis was your own work? That you thought it up bit by bit?â the roommate sneered. âPlagiarizing othersâ work, whatâs there to be proud of?â
Wu Wanyingâs expression changed. âHow do you know?!â
She and her roommate were not in the same department, and their defense times were different.
Moreover, such a scandal would tarnish Great Xia Universityâs image, so the medical department would not publicly announce it.
âStill dreaming?â The roommate glanced at her indifferently. âCongratulations, youâve made it to the trending topics. The school forum is all about you. Youâve become quite the celebrity.â
Wu Wanyingâs hand trembled as she quickly took out her phone.
#XiaUniversityGraduateThesisPlagiarism
#StudentExpelledForPlagiarism
Wu Wanying took a deep breath, not daring to look at the comments on Weibo.
Under her roommateâs sharp gaze, she quickly packed her things and left the dormitory.
She had been somewhat well-known at Great Xia University, but now she was infamous.
As she walked quickly, many people pointed and whispered about her.
With her head down, she walked briskly, only to bump into Chen Wenxin, who was heading to dinner with his roommates.
Seeing him, Wu Wanying stopped abruptly, her eyes red as she questioned him, âYou knew about this all along, didnât you? Thatâs why you kept fawning over her!â
âI tried to tell you every time, but you wouldnât listen,â Chen Wenxin said coldly. âDid you know that during that emergency surgery in the Hepatobiliary Department, Senior Lin chose to assist Miss Si, even though he arrived in time? Do you know how skilled Miss Si is?â
âShe never mentioned it, and even had the director edit out her highlights to give us more opportunities. How dare you blame her?â
Such arrogance!
