"Yan Yan, you must seize this opportunity. Cheng Qian is the godfather of domestic idol dramas. If you can get the lead role, you will definitely become a star."
While Yan Yan was getting her makeup done, Assistant Sister Lu said excitedly.
Sister Lu had been with Yan Yan since she debuted, managing her schedule, acting, and daily life.
The two had a very good relationship, and Sister Lu treated Yan Yan like her own daughter.
"Sister Lu, don't worry, I won't let you down. When I become famous, I'll hire two more assistants, one of whom will serve you exclusively."
Yan Yan knew that Sister Lu had put in a lot of effort to get her this audition.
Not to mention begging for favors, there was one time when Sister Lu waited at the副导演's doorstep for a whole day just to deliver Yan Yan's materials.
While an assistant is supposed to serve an artist, it's rare to find someone as dedicated as Sister Lu, so Yan Yan was very grateful to her.
Sister Lu smiled with relief and looked at the youthful, beautiful, and stunning Yan Yan in the mirror, "That would be great. Sister Lu can then just kick back and wait for someone to pour her tea, hahaha."
They both burst into laughter.
"Yan Yan, you can go and get ready now."
At this moment, a crew member with a clipboard entered the makeup room to inform Yan Yan that she could prepare for her audition.
Yan Yan took a deep breath, while Sister Lu gently squeezed her arm.
Yan Yan gave Sister Lu a confident smile and walked out with her most beautiful posture.
At this moment, she was already imagining herself landing the lead role and her future acting career flourishing.
But suddenly, Yan Yan felt her vision blur.
To avoid smudging her eye makeup, she could only gently shake her head.
However, shaking her head only made her vision worse, and she could barely see what was in front of her.
"Yan Yan, are you alright?"
Sister Lu, who was following behind, noticed something was wrong with Yan Yan and quickly stepped forward.
To avoid worrying Sister Lu, Yan Yan forced a smile, "I'm fine, Sister Lu, I'm just a little nervous."
"That's good. It's natural to be nervous, after all, this is a production by Director Cheng Qian. Remember, relax once you're inside and focus on your role."
Sister Lu was relieved when Yan Yan said she was just a little nervous and then comforted her.
Yan Yan nodded gently and walked into the audition room.
A few minutes later, as Sister Lu stood with her hands clasped, anxiously awaiting the results of Yan Yan's audition.
"Quick, someone fainted!"
"Call an ambulance quickly!"
"The person who just auditioned fainted, come over and help."
With shouts from inside, the audition room door was opened.
Sister Lu, with a bad premonition, walked to the door.
When she saw Yan Yan lying on the ground, Sister Lu felt her heart stop for a second.
"Yan Yan!"
Sister Lu cried out and rushed in after she regained her senses.
Normally, no one other than the auditioning actors was allowed in the audition room, but under these special circumstances, and knowing Sister Lu was Yan Yan's assistant, the people at the door let her rush in.
"Yan Yan! Yan Yan, don't scare me." Sister Lu then looked up at the people around her, "What happened just now?"
"She suddenly fell when she was about to audition," someone replied.
At this moment, someone outside shouted that the ambulance had arrived.
Sister Lu didn't ask any more questions and quickly asked for help to carry Yan Yan out.
Half an hour later, Yan Yan was sent to the nearest hospital's emergency room.
...
"Du Fei, if you don't come back soon, Miss Wang will have a breakdown."
As soon as Du Fei returned to the Chinese medicine clinic, he found the atmosphere unusually quiet.
Du Dabao walked up to him and whispered.
The next second, when Wang Zhongling's gaze swept over, Du Dabao immediately shut up and pretended as if nothing had happened, quickly leaving.
He was afraid that if he lingered any longer, he would be in trouble.
Du Fei walked up to Wang Zhongling with a smile.
"Were you very tired while I was gone? How is your acupuncture practice coming along?"
In fact, Du Fei had only been out for less than two days, but Wang Zhongling, a young lady from a prominent family, was only here to help out. It was indeed difficult for her when the main doctor left for two days.
Wang Zhongling was still a bit upset that Du Fei had gone out and left her to treat patients alone. However, as soon as Du Fei asked about acupuncture, she deflated like a balloon.
Thinking of acupuncture, Wang Zhongling felt like an idiot.
Growing up, Wang Zhongling had always been a top student among her peers. After studying medicine, she continued to excel, even being specially promoted to a research institute by a senior professor from a medical university.
But now, these few silver needles were driving her crazy.
Seeing Wang Zhongling's expression, Du Fei knew without her saying anything.
Then, Du Fei brought out the acupuncture dummy and patiently started teaching her from scratch.
When patients came, Du Fei would have Wang Zhongling practice on them.
After seeing the patients, Du Fei would return to Wang Zhongling's side to teach her.
Time passed like this until it was almost closing time.
"Alright, that's all for today. Practice more on your own when you get back. Acupuncture is all about eyesight and dexterity. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Although Wang Zhongling's progress was indeed a bit slow, Du Fei still focused on encouragement.
"Mhm."
With Du Fei's hands-on instruction, Wang Zhongling finally felt much better than before.
Everyone in the Chinese medicine clinic tidied up and prepared to close.
"Excuse me!"
"I'm glad you're here. Please, save Yan Yan quickly!"
Just as they finished tidying up and were about to leave, a woman's voice was heard from the doorway.
Then, the person at the door said with a hint of surprise in her voice.
Everyone inside looked towards the door. Du Fei was somewhat surprised because he recognized the person at the door.
"Yan Yan is in critical condition, please, hurry and save her!"
The person standing at the door was Yan Yan's assistant, Sister Lu.
When Yan Yan suddenly fainted and collapsed during the audition, she was sent to the hospital's emergency room. The hospital informed Sister Lu that Yan Yan had a vascular malformation in her brain.
Moreover, because the location of the vascular malformation was very tricky, the success rate of surgery was only one in ten.
Hearing this, Sister Lu's legs went weak, and if someone hadn't caught her, she would have fallen to the ground.
However, just as Sister Lu was heartbroken, she suddenly remembered what the person who saved Yan Yan from the water had said.
Before, Sister Lu thought he was deliberately being alarmist, but now, she recalled that he had said Yan Yan had a vascular malformation in her head and that she needed to find him to survive.
Thinking of this, Sister Lu felt as if she had grasped a lifesaver and rushed over immediately.
Fortunately, she found Du Fei.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Sister Lu felt fortunate that she had arrived at the right time.
After explaining Yan Yan's situation to Du Fei, Du Fei agreed without hesitation to go with Sister Lu.
