Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Big Boss Behavior, Yun Lan, Identity Revealed Warning! (2)

Song Wenhua was filled with doubt but had no way to ask.

She lowered her head further, not speaking a word more.

Meanwhile, Si Fuqing had changed her appearance again and headed to the hospital.

“Feeling better?” Si Fuqing asked as she approached the bedside, “Any discomfort?”

The boy’s injuries were more severe, his arm in a cast, and he was still asleep.

The girl was in slightly better condition, having regained some strength after taking medication.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon seeing her, the girl’s eyes lit up, “Miss, your skills are amazing!”

If she had such skills, she wouldn’t have been bullied on the street.

Those middle-aged men were truly terrifying; even regular gym-goers couldn’t have broken free from them.

“It’s all about training,” Si Fuqing said, patting her head, “Zero will be cleaning up this area. You’re a victim, you did nothing wrong, but you might consider learning some self-defense.”

“Yes, yes.” The girl nodded eagerly, “I’ll start boxing with my boyfriend when we get back.”

Si Fuqing nodded.

She didn’t mention the evolved beings.

Indeed, no matter how much an ordinary person trained, they couldn’t match an evolved being.

But having an extra self-defense skill was always good.

Footsteps echoed in the hallway.

“Captain Huo,” the girl’s eyes brightened again, “The lady came to see us. She’s amazing!”

Si Fuqing turned her head, raising an eyebrow.

Did Zero also consider looks when hiring?

Huo Yanxing glanced around the room, his lips tightening, “Where’s your older sister?”

“Ah?” Si Fuqing thought for a moment, “Maybe she’s at a new bar, checking out the bartenders’ abs?”

Huo Yanxing: “…”

His face turned slightly green.

Si Fuqing immediately saw a business opportunity.

She asked with concern, “Captain, do you have heart and lung issues? My family sells medicine, do you want to buy some? If a man’s heart and lungs are weak, it means his body isn’t in good shape.”

The words “isn’t in good shape” made Huo Yanxing’s eyes narrow sharply, a cold glint appearing in them.

He was silent for a moment, then asked through gritted teeth, “How much?”

“You’re a newbie, it’s not expensive.” Si Fuqing pulled a bottle of medicine from her bag, holding up her payment code with the other hand, “For beginners, I’ll give you a fifty percent discount, just 1,111.”

Huo Yanxing: “…”

He suspected she was mocking him, but had no proof.

Huo Yanxing scanned the code and put the bottle away.

Checking out bartenders’ abs?

Hmph, what a heartless woman.

Fine, he would remember this.

In the afternoon, with the help of the chairman of the International Art Association, the show team managed to rent a medium-sized performance hall at the Glenn.

The audience, pre-booked five days in advance, numbered two thousand.

Before the recording began, they had a warm-up game.

This episode’s focus was on dramatic performance, so the games were related to drama.

Director Qin chose a game from an interactive challenge variety show called “Whisper Chain.”

In “Whisper Chain,” five members per round were separated by partitions and wore headphones to isolate sound.

The first member, after watching a movie clip, had to convey all the lines from the script card to the next person through acting, continuing down the line.

The team that accurately repeated the most lines would win.

With twelve star guests and art interns combined, they were divided into two teams.

Duan Jingtao attended today, glaring at Si Fuqing from the rest area viscously, “You plagiarized my junior sister’s work. You will be exposed sooner or later!”

Si Fuqing didn’t look up, only responding blandly with three words, “Skull cap.”

Duan Jingtao, startled, quickly moved to a different seat, far away from Si Fuqing, his scalp tingling.

“Even the Ji family apologized; how could Goddess Si be a plagiarist?” A male intern frowned, “Mr. Duan, use some judgment.”

Duan Jingtao muttered, “I only trust my junior sister. I’ve seen her true talent.”

Then he fell silent.

The recording began.

Si Fuqing represented the Red Team and was placed as the final relay.

When the screen started playing the movie clip, the audience gasped.

The actress handling the first relay was stunned, “Director, is this for real?”

The host pressed his earpiece and, after a few seconds, smiled, “It’s real, it’s real. Just a game, no pressure.”

But backstage, the director team hardly dared to breathe.

“Who prepared these lines?” Director Qin suppressed his anger, “Do you even know how to prepare? This person is fired next episode!”

There were many variety shows related to movies and dramas nowadays, some even inviting young actors to recreate classic scenes from veteran actors.

But classics were classics, untouchable.

These shows often drew comparisons.

For the sake of the show, not even Director Qin expected the staff to choose lines from Yun Lan’s movie!

Crazy?

Yun Lan was a legend in the film industry!

For so many years, only she had held an unparalleled position internationally.

She was the youngest recipient of the Glenn Lifetime Achievement Award!

And today, there were foreign audience members present.

One could say that Yun Lan held a higher status in the Western Continent than even their native movie stars.

For Glenn to act in a movie as Yun Lan was like showing off one’s skills before an expert.

The assistant director, realizing the gravity of the situation, stammered, “W-what if we stop recording?”

“Stop recording?” Director Qin sneered, “You call yourself a director with such a stupid idea!”

He had already instructed the host to continue recording, so they couldn’t stop now.

The audience shared a common thought.

Disaster.

Of all people, they had to pick Yun Lan.

Act it out and get criticized, fail to act it out and still get criticized.

The screen played a scene from Yun Lan’s movie at age 20.

“Eternal Flower.”

Based on a true story, it portrayed a young female doctor treating wounded soldiers in a war zone.

In the end, she contracted a severe illness and died at 24.

The movie won Yun Lan the Glenn Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Cinematography awards.

The actress in the first relay conveyed the lines to the next person accurately.

However, as each person’s memory varied, mistakes crept in along the way.

By the time the lines reached Si Fuqing as the final relay, hardly any were left.

“Teacher Si…” The male actor felt ashamed, “I only remembered ‘Mom loves you’ and something about ‘stars,’ nothing else.”

The audience whispered among themselves.

“This generation of actors is really bad with lines. Acting aside, they can’t even remember lines.”

“The first relay just recited lines. Though it was a monologue scene, where was the emotion and the eye play?”

“Everyone’s seen ‘Eternal Flower,’ right? Si Fuqing should remember a few lines.”

“Not necessarily. She’s too young, might not have seen it.”

“Teacher Si, what lines did you catch?” The host held the microphone, “Here’s a hint, it’s a monologue from Yun Lan’s ‘Eternal Flower,’ a message to her child, a very long one.”

The host, after giving a few hints, handed the microphone to Si Fuqing, but didn’t hold much hope.

Even Director Qin, who believed in Si Fuqing, wasn’t optimistic.

“Eternal Flower” was a seven-year-old movie; Si Fuqing’s generation might’ve only seen it once or twice.

Over the years, even Director Qu Lingyun couldn’t recall the lines completely, let alone others.

The audience’s gaze focused on her.

Si Fuqing flexed her wrists and responded, “I’ll just give it a try then.”
