Si Fuqing stepped forward.

Cai Zhongnian stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely saying, “I didn’t want to scare them just now, so I didn’t dare say that you alone were enough. Come on, you do it, and I’ll watch.”

Si Fuqing responded, “… Mr. Lin was oppressed by you in the same way, wasn’t he?”

“How could this be called oppression?” Cai Zhongnian responded seriously. “This is making good use of a treasure.”

Initially, when Lin Qingchen brought Si Fuqing to him, he didn’t think much of it.

It wasn’t until Si Fuqing solved a medical problem that had puzzled him for a long time that Cai Zhongnian realized he had uncovered a treasure.

It must not be wasted.

Two hours later, the lights in the ICU dimmed.

Cai Zhongnian and Si Fuqing came out.

The manager immediately approached, “Elder Cai, was it successful?”

“It was,” Cai Zhongnian confirmed with a hum. “Contact the family. I’m going to rest for a while.”

The manager nodded repeatedly, “Thank you for your hard work, Elder Cai.”

Si Fuqing followed Cai Zhongnian to the rest area.

“Amazing, truly amazing. A heroine emerges from the youth, the student surpasses the master,” Cai Zhongnian said with satisfaction. “Your style of practicing medicine is different from Qingchen’s. You make good use of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, which is really rare.”

Si Fuqing nodded, “I still have much to learn.”

Her medical skills originated from the Master of Ghost Valley

The world created by the holographic game “Eternity” had no modern scientific technology.

“By the way, let me tell you about someone,” Cai Zhongnian started a new topic. “But I guess you haven’t heard of him, and it’s fine if you haven’t. Take it as a legend because this person is beyond ordinary.”

Si Fuqing sat on a small stool, ready to listen attentively, “Please tell.”

“A few years ago, I spent some time in the Free State to study, and I learned that there was an incredibly skilled legendary doctor there,” Cai Zhongnian raised a finger. “This legendary doctor is known as Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand.”

Si Fuqing was silent.

“Don’t think his name sounds like those characters from martial arts novels, like Bloody Sword or Iron Palm Skimming on Water,” Cai Zhongnian noticed her expressionless face and emphasized, “This predecessor’s medical skills are indeed formidable, capable of snatching people from the hands of King of Hell. I haven’t seen him in action myself, but I’ve heard that his acupuncture skills are so miraculous that you can’t even see the needles move, hence the name Ghosthand.”

“This Heavenly Doctor title implies he’s sent from heaven to compete with the King of Hell.”

Si Fuqing’s expression was complex, “Actually, Elder Cai, you might be reading too much into it. She didn’t mean that.”

“No, no, no, it’s not overthinking,” Cai Zhongnian waved his hand dismissively. “You haven’t seen it yourself. If you had, you’d agree that the title is incredibly apt. Ah, a predecessor is indeed a predecessor, we’re nowhere close.”

Si Fuqing once again was at a loss for words.

After Cai Zhongnian finished speaking, he looked up to see Si Fuqing’s indescribable expression and snorted, “I knew you wouldn’t believe it. Wait until the Free State opens up, and I’ll take you and Qingchen there to see for yourselves. With your medical skills, you’ll surely earn a permanent residence.”

Si Fuqing blinked, “I have to act.”

Hearing this, Cai Zhongnian was genuinely heartbroken, “If only I had met you earlier, I would never have let you enter the entertainment industry. What a waste!”

“Ah, Elder Cai, my friend has woken up, I must go now,” Si Fuqing glanced at the time and changed the subject, “I’ve been filming a variety show in the city of Sijiu for the past two months. Call me if you need anything.”

Cai Zhongnian waved his hand, “Alright, Qingchen isn’t around, so feel free to contact me.”

After escorting Si Fuqing out, he rested a bit more before heading to the head of hospital’s office.

“Elder Cai, we owe you a great deal,” the the head of hospital wiped his sweat. “Without you today, the elder lady might not have made it.”

Cai Zhongnian, remembering Si Fuqing’s request to keep things low-key, changed the topic, “I see you’ve cleared out the eighteenth floor?”

The head of hospital was momentarily confused for a second, then realized, “Because tomorrow there’s a variety show being filmed.”

“What variety show?” Cai Zhongnian was puzzled. “The hospital is hosting a variety show?”

“In collaboration with Great Xia TV,” the head of hospital explained. “We’ve invited several top students from Great Xia University’s medical school, and two celebrities. Though I’ve only heard of one, Si Fuqing.”

“Oh,” Cai Zhongnian nodded, then suddenly realized something and raised his voice, “You mean, Si Fuqing is also participating, as a celebrity guest?”

The head of hospital was confused, “Yes, isn’t she a celebrity? Elder Cai, didn’t you know? She’s very popular.”

“Nonsense, I know!” Cai Zhongnian became suddenly very emotional. “You’re saying she, she, she…”

What is she doing mixing with a bunch of interns, as a professional?

Isn’t this just punching below one’s weight?

Sometimes he couldn’t even watch the students he supervised during their practice.

Could Si Fuqing really hold back from criticizing during the filming?

“Elder Cai, please don’t be upset,” the head of hospital hurriedly spoke. “She’s very conscientious and will strive to learn. She absolutely won’t disgrace the noble profession of a doctor. My wife is her fan and can vouch for her character.”

Cai Zhongnian was almost breathless, “You don’t understand a thing!”

What learning?

It was understandable for medical students to join a variety show to gain experience, but what was Si Fuqing doing there?

Then there was only one thing left.

For money.

Now, it was Cai Zhongnian’s turn to feel conflicted.

He slowly exhaled, “Is there a need for judges on this program? Is there a spot available? I’ll join.”

“You’re joining?” the head of hospital was startled. “Isn’t that unnecessary?”

Given Cai Zhongnian’s high status in the medical community, wouldn’t this be beneath him?

“It’s necessary, very necessary,” Cai Zhongnian muttered. “I need to keep an eye on her. If she stirs up any trouble, I’ll be the first to know.”

The head of hospital’s didn’t hear his muttering, but seeing his insistence, he contacted the production team.

The production team was also surprised upon receiving the head of hospital’s call.

The medical group would observe and discuss how medical students learn and grow in a real hospital environment from various angles and aspects.

It would also help the audience gain a deeper understanding of the medical profession.

With Cai Zhongnian’s participation, the medical segment could compete with the arts segment attended by Gu Huiyan.

Director Qin readily agreed.

Tomorrow, the filming of “The Birth of an Employee” would start. Although the schedule was tight, they had to make room for Cai Zhongnian’s arrival.

Director Qin instructed his assistant to make preparations and asked the assistant director, “Are the list and groups prepared? Have you notified everyone?”

The assistant director was the same one who had worked with him on “Survival 66 Days.”

He touched his bald head, “Yes, notifications have been sent.”

Director Qin nodded.

He had also specifically assigned two of the stronger medical students to Si Fuqing.

The two discussed the filming plan for the next day when there was a knock at the door.

“Come in,” Director Qin called.

Two people entered.

Director Qin recognized them as top students from the Great Xia University’s medical school, “What’s the matter? Any issues?”

“Director Qin, Wanying and I are here to discuss the group assignments,” Chen Wenxin began. “We signed up for this variety show to improve our medical skills and practical capabilities, not for camera time or subsequent popularity. Therefore, we don’t want to be in the same group as Miss Si Fuqing.”

“Anyone but her. We’re fine with being grouped with Miss Ning Zhi and Miss Bai Jinxu.”

They had their own medical ideals and sense of mission.

This time, coming to the stage of “The Birth of an Employee,” they aimed to learn in a clinical hospital setting and compete for interview opportunities with hospital leadership.

Being selected, naturally, all were top performers from the Great Xia University’s medical school.

In the medical group, only Si Fuqing was purely a celebrity with no family members involved in the medical profession.

Ning Zhi was considered a second-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry. Although not as popular as Si Fuqing, at least her family had a background in traditional Chinese medicine.

Bai Jinxu already had a job at the Sijiu City First Hopistal.

Being grouped with Si Fuqing, apart from marketing and building a persona, what real skills could they learn?
