Chapter 801: Chapter 801: Si Fuqing Is Actually a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor? (2)

The assistant to the agent hesitated before carefully speaking up, “Sister Sang, you’re so happy inside, there’s no need to look so worried.”

“You cheeky girl, now you decide to talk back,” Sang Yanqing said with a laugh. “Everyone contributed to this success. I’ll treat everyone to a meal.”

The studio staff cheered enthusiastically.

Sang Yanqing wasn’t too worried about “The Birth of an Employee”; her concern was with the drama “The Nation’s Heroine.”

Another tough battle awaited.

Meanwhile, Si Fuqing had just finished her call with Sang Yanqing when she received another call from an unknown number.

She narrowed her eyes but answered without speaking.

Finally, the caller couldn’t hold back. “Hello? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“It’s you, little prodigy,” Si Fuqing recognized the voice. “It’s rare for you to call me personally. What’s up?”

Lu Xingci tried to ignore the nickname. “Do you know there’s an SSS rating in this year’s international joint examination potential assessment?”

“Oh, that was me. What’s the matter?”

“I knew it was you,” Lu Xingci gritted his teeth. “No one else could get a perfect score except you, you freak!”

“Aren’t you also a perfect scorer?” Si Fuqing said lazily. “Why are you so excited? Is this why you called me?”

“Why am I so excited? You even have the nerve to ask? What can’t you do? Acting, game design, academics… and now you’re on a medical variety show! Damn it!”

He couldn’t help but curse.

She also called her a little prodigy, which made him feel embarrassed.

Si Fuqing remained unbothered. “It’s nothing. If you lose enough, you can be driven to learn many things.”

Lu Xingci paused. “You…”

“By the way, you’re in the Free State, right?” Si Fuqing snapped her fingers. “How about a favor? I’ll definitely help you in return.”

“Hmph, what could you help me with? I don’t need your help. What do you need?” Lu Xingci asked, still proud.

“I need the international joint examination to be moved up, preferably to June or July,” Si Fuqing said. “What do you think?”

“Moved up?” Lu Xingci choked. “Are you addicted to exams? Can you stop being such a freak? Fine, I’ll suggest it and see if it can be moved up.”

The international joint examination usually took place in October or November. Moving it to June would indeed increase the workload and possibly upset other candidates.

But unlike college entrance exams or the SAT, the international joint examination was different. No matter how much more time you had, it wouldn’t help much.

This exam was for geniuses.

Top students could succeed through hard work, but geniuses had innate inspiration.

“Thanks, little prodigy,” Si Fuqing said lazily, chuckling. “I appreciate it.”

Lu Xingci was on the verge of exploding.

No one could stop him today; he was definitely going to make more targeted explosives.

Si Fuqing hung up the phone, feeling hungry, and prepared to go out for a late-night snack.

Just then, she received a message from Yu Xiheng.

[Big Sponsor]: Come down, I brought you fried chicken and milk tea.

Si Fuqing’s eyes lit up, and she immediately ran downstairs.

Feng San and Xi Jiang were also there.

Yu Xiheng handed her the warm milk tea.

Despite the temperature being below freezing, his fingers were cold, and the milk tea couldn’t warm his hands.

Si Fuqing immediately took his hands in hers. “Boss, how’s this for a hand warmer?”

Yu Xiheng paused. “It’s decent.”

“Just decent?” Si Fuqing continued warming his hands. “Where can you find a more thoughtful hand warmer than me, and you call it just decent?”

“I misspoke,” he said with a slight smile. “It’s very good.”

“That’s more like it.” After warming his hands, Si Fuqing happily started eating her snack.

Seeing this, Feng San felt deeply ashamed. “Brother Nine, I’ve let you down.”

He and Xi Jiang had enrolled in a relationship psychology course offered by the Mo family.

After just one class, he realized Brother Nine’s different treatment of Miss Si wasn’t just because she was a good employee.

He finally understood.

Reflecting on his past actions, Feng San just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Brother Nine hadn’t beaten him up showed just how good-natured Brother Nine was.

“Brother Nine, Feng San is terrible,” Xi Jiang complained. “I asked him to sign up with me for our family’s course, and he pretended not to sign up but secretly did. You should’ve seen how awkward he was when we met in class.”

Yu Xiheng hadn’t said anything when Si Fuqing, sipping her milk tea, said, “Sansan, that’s not very nice. How could you sign up secretly?”

Feng San hesitated. “Miss Si, can I ask you a question?”

“Go away, I’ll ask,” Xi Jiang said loudly, pushing Feng San aside. “Miss Si, do you like Brother Nine?”

Feng San was startled. “Hey!”

Where was the subtlety?

“Of course,” Si Fuqing said seriously, eating her fried chicken. “The boss is so good; of course, I like him.”

“See?” Xi Jiang said proudly. “Brother Nine, Miss Si said she likes you!”

Yu Xiheng turned, meeting Si Fuqing’s calm gaze. He sighed. “I understand. You both can leave.”

This “like” wasn’t the same as the other.

Things were heating up.

Xi Jiang and Feng San left, finding a spot nearby to eat their chicken legs.

“See? I’m still the best,” Xi Jiang said smugly. “You were useless. Learning was a waste.”

Feng San was exasperated. “You’re an idiot!”

Just in case, they kept quiet, not wanting to add to Brother Nine’s troubles.

Helping the wrong way could be dangerous.

Yesterday, “Crossing the Demon Realm” officially concluded, sparking a surge of new fans exploring Si Fuqing’s previous works.

“Youth With You” and “Survival 66 Days” saw a resurgence in popularity, consistently trending on social media.

Even the box office for “Seeking the Lost” began to rise.

“The Birth of an Employee” became a major hit, and the combined impact and benefits of these successes were unmatched by other celebrities.

[I really didn’t expect this. Although Si Fuqing can’t compare to professional medical students, she genuinely didn’t slack off! She answered the questions from the lead doctor fluently, showing she really put in the effort. She didn’t have to learn any of this.]

[Other celebrities, take note! She could easily rely on her looks, but she chooses to rely on her abilities. Is Si Fuqing the only one holding up the entertainment industry right now?]

[Knowing too much is a sin. I just want to see her act and walk the red carpet!]

As Si Fuqing’s popularity soared, more entertainment reporters sought to get the latest scoop on her.

However, her transparent characteristic made it nearly impossible to capture any useful photos.

Many casual observers, uninterested in the entertainment industry, were just here for the drama and gossip.

A new hashtag climbed the trending list.

#SiFuqing, SolitaryJourneyLead#

Many assumed this was the title of Si Fuqing’s next drama, but upon clicking, they found something entirely different.

[@IndustryGossipV: Latest scoop, a newly popular star has turned down the drama “Solitary Journey.]

“Solitary Journey” was a drama registered last year, adapted from a realistic novel.

The director and team were industry veterans who had produced multiple Cloud Award-winning actresses.

Many star teams were vying for a role in this project, but few succeeded.

[What the heck, turned down “Solitary Journey”? Si Fuqing, what are you thinking? So many people want to transition roles and can’t. Why pass up this opportunity when it’s right in front of you?]

[Exactly, the female lead in “Solitary Journey” is filmed from ages 16 to 24. There’s no one better suited for this age range than Si Fuqing.]

[If she turned down “Solitary Journey,” then what did she accept? Did Si Fuqing take on something even better? What could possibly be better?]
