The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 367: 351 Ancient Medicine, the person covered by Chuguang Media [1 Update]

This call was made to the headquarters of Skywalk Entertainment.

This year, Skywalk Entertainment has more momentum than Chuguang Media, mainly because the top candidates of “Youth 101” all belong to Skywalk Entertainment, and there’s also Ye Xi, the popular female superstar.

But in fact, it’s because Chuguang Media had broadened its market to the international film and music industry years earlier. International movie stars like Xie Manyu have already moved beyond the domestic scene.

After Shang Yaozhi, the top-ranked actor, joined Chuguang Media, he too began to venture into international projects.

In terms of influence, Skywalk Entertainment simply can’t compare with Chuguang Media.

Last year, Skywalk Entertainment teamed up with Era Media, an international entertainment company, to compete with Chuguang Media.

Therefore, Skywalk Entertainment places great importance on “Youth 202”. They’re set on creating a star artificially and at the very least, they need to cultivate a male superstar who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shang Yaozhi, if not surpass him.

“What is Producer Li doing?” Chen Li frowned, “Why is he intervening?”

“Sister Li, I’ve asked. Chuguang Media made a call,” the assistant on the other end of the phone said, “They mentioned there was unfair play in the competition and if it’s not addressed, they’ll withdraw their investment.”

Chen Li scoffed, “Then let them withdraw. Who are we afraid of? Don’t we have investors?”

“But, but Sister Li… Chuguang Media invested six hundred million.” The assistant wiped sweat from their forehead, “We only invested two hundred million, and the company’s funds are tight lately. If Chuguang Media pulls out, that would be…”

Chen Li’s face turned pale with anger, and in her frustration, she blurted out, “I’ll just say it. Companies like Chuguang Media are bound to collapse sooner or later.”

In this era of high traffic, who still plays by the rules?

A little hype is all it takes; no need for real talent to attract a lot of money.

Chuguang Media still claims to only nurture actors and singers. Chen Li believes that they will ultimately be replaced by their Skywalk Entertainment.

Chen Li was furiously unsettled. She thought for a moment and then dialed another number.

No matter what, she had to try to stop Yun Heyue from participating in the competition.

In mid-January, the second period of the ISC training camp also started.

Ying Zijin left the Ling Family Mansion and moved into the apartment at the training camp.

Because Xiu Yan was kicked out last time, there was an extra spot, which was given to another real Academic God, greatly improving the atmosphere.

“Classmate Ying.” Zuo Li was ecstatic to see her after several months and purposely took off his hat, “Look at my hair, isn’t it darker and denser?”

He was already the professor in their Department of Physics with the most hair.

Ying Zijin looked at his messy, bird’s nest-like hair: “…”

She felt that she needed to let Shao Ren Hospital switch Zuo Li’s hair growth shampoo with hair loss paste.

“Professor Herwen called me several times.” Zuo Li put his hat back on, somewhat wistfully, “Why did you agree to go to his laboratory? We knew each other first, right?”

Ying Zijin glanced at him, unfazed, “Because he’s the top expert in the field of Quantum Mechanics.”

“Fair enough,” Zuo Li thought, “You’re from Hua Country anyway, you’ll have to come back. It’s perfect; you can learn all his techniques and then come back and teach me in secret.”

Ying Zijin pondered for a moment, “But it’s not certain. I might go to the Capital; I’ll see when the time comes.”

She wanted to resolve Wen Fengmian’s issue; nothing was more important than family.

Zuo Li nodded, “Anyway, I’ve hung up a title of Associate Professor for you in the Department of Physics, you can come whenever you want.”

Ying Zijin nodded and went upstairs.

Her phone rang at this moment. It was a call from Jiang Ran.

“Daddy Ying, listen to me,” his voice was more serious than ever, “you must absolutely not talk to anyone about saving me. It’s enough that Xiu Yu and I know about it. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.”

Ying Zijin’s expression paused, her brows lifting.

She suddenly felt cared for like a father would be by his son.

“I know.” Ying Zijin was indifferent, “Don’t worry, no one would believe it anyway.”

Jiang Ran: “…”

He couldn’t argue with that.

Ancient Medicine, like Ancient martial arts, requires years of accumulation.

Except for those with particularly high talent, the older generation is usually more formidable.

Jiang Ran had seen many geniuses.

There are more males in Ancient martial arts and more females in the Ancient medical field.

There are three very young female Ancient Medicine practitioners in the Ancient medical field, all under twenty-five years old.

Especially Lin Qingjia, the stepdaughter of Lin Family Head Lin Jinyun. Her Ancient Martial Talent is high, and her medical skills are exceptional.

So even though her mother is a commoner, no one in the Lin Family dares to utter a word.

After all, it’s too rare to find someone who is skilled in both Ancient Medicine and Ancient martial arts—decades could pass without seeing one.

Yet Jiang Ran had never seen someone like Ying Zijin. She wasn’t just a genius; she was divine.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, truly no one would believe it.

“Daddy Ying, you have no idea.” Jiang Ran spoke again, “The Ancestor of the Foo Family actually gave my mom a Beautifying Pill that could extend life by eighty years.”

Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly, “The ‘Foo’ of successive generations?”

“Yes.” Jiang Ran muttered, “That old ancestor is so much older than my dad, even my dad got scared. Just for a Shi Fengyi, doesn’t seem to be worth that much, really strange.”

Ying Zijin no longer spoke, falling silent.

She had already deduced the cause of the matter.

Foo Xi was a good apprentice in every way, but sometimes too generous, never knowing how to take care of herself.

The medicine that extended life by eighty years must have compromised her own life force significantly.

Ying Zijin put down her phone and rubbed her forehead.

It was necessary for her to make a trip to the Ancient medical field.

On the morning of January 23, Youth 202 released the photos of 101 contestants.

Some were retouched, others were not.

Yun Heyue was among those who weren’t, but her bare-faced photo instantly eclipsed the other contestants.

[Wow, I’m dead. Who is this otherworldly beautiful youth? This face is killing me!]

[Let me explain, this contestant is called Yun Heyue, 20 years old, an individual trainee with amazing singing and dancing skills. You can find his dance montage on Bilibili, and his singing is super nice!]

[Vote for him, vote for him. Such a peerless beauty must debut!]

The internet was bustling, and the recording of Youth 202 started that very afternoon, with editing scheduled for the weekend to be broadcast on Grape Platform.

At this time, the contestants were lining up for makeup.

The show provided specialized makeup artists and allocated makeup rooms.

Ying Zijin was still playing the role of an assistant, following Yun Heyue inside.

Yun Heyue typed a message for her to see.

[Sister, I’m going to the restroom. Wait for me.]

Ying Zijin nodded and entered the makeup room first, taking a seat.

At that moment, a staff member stormed in, fuming, “Who let you in? This is Sister Ye Xi’s private makeup room. If you break anything, can you afford to compensate for it?”]

Ying Zijin turned her head, her gaze indifferent and her pupils as cold as snow, “A private makeup room, deliberately assigned to contestants?”

The staff member shrank back a bit but still tried to sound tough, “So what if it was deliberate?”

Ying Zijin ignored him, picked up her phone, and instructed her female secretary, “Clear out a makeup room in the company, call a top makeup artist over, and bring a set of the best makeup. I will bring someone there.”

Chuguang Media was only ten minutes away, and they acted quickly.

The only downside of not having Divine Calculation abilities was the waste of her time.

Fortunately, it was almost time to get them back.

Ying Zijin got up and left the makeup room.

Yun Heyue had just returned, her eyes inquiring.

“Let’s go,” Ying Zijin said lazily, “The makeup here is too cheap, we’ll find you another place.”

Yun Heyue could now fully understand what had happened. She held up her phone, which displayed a message.

[Sister, I will work hard to make money for you!]

**

Inside the makeup room.

The staff rearranged the chairs and huffed, “Putting on airs. Does she really think she’s some company boss? Psh.”

An assistant, and she’s acting all high and mighty.

Five minutes later, Ye Xi arrived at the makeup room.

This was indeed Ye Xi’s private makeup room as she was the initiator of this season’s boy band, creating quite the buzz for the show.

“Xi Sister,” her assistant carried her bag, “Sister Li deliberately assigned Yun Heyue’s makeup room next to yours. Won’t that affect you? He’s very popular online,”

“Sister Li is, after all, my patron,” said Ye Xi lightly, “It’s a small matter to help her with. Should anything happen, the responsibility lies with the show’s crew.”

As she spoke, she picked up the foundation and primer and started applying makeup.

After setting the foundation, she reached for the concealer.

Suddenly, the assistant exclaimed, “Xi Sister, your… your neck…”

“What about it?” Ye Xi moved the mirror down and then trembled, causing the mirror to crash onto the table.

There were spots of red rash on her neck, spreading and growing and they had reached her chin.

Ye Xi stood up sharply, her voice harsh, “Who came in here? Who touched my makeup?”

How was she supposed to host the show that afternoon looking like this?

Meanwhile, the staff member was also stunned.

It was as if he had suddenly recalled something and shouted, “Yes! The assistant of Yun Heyue!”

The assistant was equally angry, “Then why don’t you bring the person here? Ye Xi’s face is insured, her life won’t be enough to cover the costs!”

Ye Xi was furious. She and Shang Yaozhi had many fans who shipped them together, fans who were more fervent than her own.

With an incident like this, the fans could tear Yun Heyue’s assistant to shreds.

Yun Heyue would be doomed as well.
