Chapter 678 Kicked an Iron Plate! (1)
Master Mingdeng, still in the throes of his spiritual journey, knew he needed more merit to progress further.
Resolving this malice would not only deepen his merit but also smooth his path of cultivation in the future.
He was resolved to act.
Frowning, Master Mingdeng observed people occasionally stopping to take photos in front of the billboard featuring Si Fuqing.
His heart sank little by little.
He had realized too late that someone who had stolen others' luck was flourishing in the entertainment industry.
Luck was inherently predestined, but popularity could significantly influence and even change one's fortune later in life.
High popularity could escalate to the power of faith, just like ancient emperors.
Take Emperor Yin for example.
Born with great luck and consolidating the people's hearts, he established the Great Xia Dynasty's everlasting foundation. The power of faith in his case was immense.
With a cold snort, Master Mingdeng waved his hand, and the digital billboard in front of him darkened.
Clutching his staff, he didn't mind the shocked and awe-filled glances of passersby as he made his way out of the airport.

Over at Si Fuqing's studio, familiarity with each other's style made the second collaboration between the parties smoother.
As a gift, Director Qin received a package of fast-acting heart relief pills from Sang Yanqing.
"The network said you could choose any of the three groups," Director Qin remarked, holding a heart relief pill. "Which group are you planning to join? The arts group would indeed be the best choice."
Hearing this, Si Fuqing suddenly raised her hand, "I have a serious question."
This phrasing made Director Qin nervous; his eyelids twitched while he attempted to sound gentle, "Go ahead."
"If I choose one group, that's one salary," Si Fuqing counted on her fingers, "Two groups, two salaries, am I right?"
Director Qin was utterly confused.
Sang Yanqing interjected, "...What are you doing?"
"So, Director Qin, look," Si Fuqing confidently proposed, "Can I join both the arts and medical groups and get two salaries? You know I can handle a lot on my own, isn't this saving you money?"
Director Qin: "..."
He took a deep breath, swallowed the heart relief pill, his hands trembling slightly.
The pill was effective; he felt a bit more capable of handling the stress, "Why don't you just take the legal department too?"
Si Fuqing snapped her fingers lazily, "Because I'm the type to use violence instead of rationality."
Director Qin had no words.
He had definitely underestimated his capacity to deal with heart issues.
"Alright, alright, you're the boss, we'll do it your way," Director Qin conceded wearily. "Which will you shoot first, medical or arts? And, I'm curious, how did you come to know Director Gu?"
Director Gu Huiyan was notoriously difficult to approach, and many in the arts community knew it.
Countless people wanted to study under him but didn't even get the chance to see him.
"I'm not sure," Si Fuqing touched her chin, "Back when we were shooting a promo, I was just playing with ants on the ground, and next thing I know, Elder Gu's secretary called me up."
Director Qin looked at Sang Yanqing in disbelief.
Sang Yanqing numbly responded, "I wasn't her agent back then."
"And do you know this person?" Director Qin, wiping sweat, showed Si Fuqing the information on Bai Jinxi, "She asked the previous production team to move you to the medical group to get to know you."
Si Fuqing glanced at over and responded, "No, don't know."
"Probably not with good intentions then, no need to specifically request a group change otherwise," Director Qin nodded. "But she's backed by the LI family, and she's LI Yanchen's girlfriend, so be careful."
Si Fuqing nodded, "I'll measure my actions accordingly."
Seeing Director Qin's confusion, Sang Yanqing explained, "She means she'll try not to cripple the other person."
Director Qin had no expression as he stood up, deciding it might be prudent to visit the cardiopulmonary department at the hospital.

After the teams finalized their discussions, the "The Birth of an Employee" program's staff updated the guest list on Weibo.
Si Fuqing's studio retweeted this post. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Netizens noticed Si Fuqing's name listed under both the arts and medical groups and asked in the comments if there had been a mistake.
The official Weibo account responded with a "No."
Only then did the audience realize that after changing the production team, both groups had Si Fuqing enrolled.
[Damn, I thought she would choose arts again, but she's sticking with medical too?]
[Si Fuqing... must be the emperor of part-timers, hustling hard.]
[Never mind the production team being confused, I'm confused too.]
