“The medical segment is divided into three groups,” the planner glanced at the list, “Let’s put Wei Chengyun and Wu Wanying with Si Fuqing in one group.”

Wei Chengyun and Wu Wanying are graduate students from the Great Xia University Medical School, already signed up for PhD programs at Etno

University, making them the strongest among this batch of medical interns.

This variety show was also a chance provided by Great Xia University to give them an early taste of the professional world.

With these three on the team to guide Si Fuqing, the planner felt quite reassured.

“Actually, not assigning her to the arts group is for her own good,” the director nodded in agreement. “Zou Hanyang’s grandfather is a master of traditional Chinese painting, and Lan Si’an is a graduate of a dance academy; both are more professional than her.”

The competition in the medical group was at least less fierce.

Si Fuqing just needed to quietly be a pretty vase; she could still gain followers that way.

At six in the evening, the City of Sijiu’s Grand Hall was brilliantly lit.

Each year in mid-December, the National Drama Festival attracted numerous celebrities.

Veteran actors, new generation talents, and popular stars all gathered under one roof.

Tong Luoyun was among the highest-ranked of these celebrities. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the hall, numerous reporters swarmed around her, inquiring about her recent activities.

Tong Luoyun responded indifferently, without a smile.

Her demeanor was always like this, but the entertainment reporters weren’t offended, instead, they were even more flattering.

“Alright, alright, the festival is about to start,” her agent intervened before Tong Luoyun could show her impatience, “Our Luoyun needs to go in now, please don’t crowd around here.”

The reporters were reluctant to give up, but just then, someone shouted, “Si Fuqing is here!”

“Whoosh—”

In mere seconds, the reporters surrounding Tong Luoyun dashed to the other side.

Tong Luoyun’s expression instantly darkened.

She indeed didn’t want to be interviewed anymore, but having the spotlight stolen from her was a different issue.

“Popularity stars rise fast and are replaced just as quickly,” her agent consoled her with a smile, “You’re different. Don’t lower yourself to their level. I know you’re upset about Sang Yanqing’s issue, but you need to prove yourself on the international stage even more.”

Tong Luoyun’s expression softened, “Let’s go in.”

Her agent was right.

At thirty-two, she had already received countless awards and truly didn’t need to compete with a newcomer.

How long Si Fuqing could remain popular would depend on her own fate.

Si Fuqing was dressed in a black long gown today, not a very conspicuous color.

[Wasn’t it announced she’d be interning at Heaven Earth Alliance? How did she end up at Sijiu City First Hospital? Art and medicine don’t seem related at all, what’s the situation?]

“Click, click.”

The sound of cameras clicking erupted.

“Miss Si, why did you decide to participate in ‘The Birth of an Employee’?” a reporter asked, handing over the microphone. “Are you interested in medicine?”

Si Fuqing answered composedly, “I’m interested in money,”

The reporter was taken aback, not expecting such a straightforward answer, his heart leaped with joy, already thinking of numerous headlines.

He persisted, “Does that mean, Miss Si, that you’re doing the variety show just for the money?

Si Fuqing glanced at him, unfazed, “Why, aren’t you interested? If you aren’t interested in your work, why bother coming out here late at night instead of staying home and resting?”

The reporter was left speechless.

Si Fuqing effortlessly made all the entertainment reporters take a step back in awe.

Sang Yanqing found herself of little use.

The awards at the National Drama Festival were not highly competitive; almost everyone present received something, with the organizers taking good care of every artist.

Gu Zhinan received the Award for Most Charismatic Actress of the Year, while the Breakthrough Actress Award went to Cheng Yiqiao.

Even Si Fuqing received a Most Promising Newcomer Award.

An influencer had already posted photos of the female celebrities on the red carpet in a grid on social media.

Despite the gathering of many stars, Si Fuqing was the one who stood out among the dozens of female celebrities.

[Si Fuqing is really stunning, a photo killer. Although she’s young, her presence overshadowed the other major stars. Even Tong Luoyun, who holds the title of a queen, was thoroughly overshadowed.]

[Here we go again, stepping on senior figures to rise to the top. When will Si Fuqing stop overwhelming every other woman?]

[I don’t care about the fandom wars, I’m just here for the faces. What’s wrong with praising Si Fuqing?]

Clearly, the photographers at the event knew how striking Si Fuqing’s appearance was; every time the camera panned to the audience, it lingered a few seconds longer on her..
