Chapter 74: Working While Sick, Such Professionalism, Even the

The charity live stream by Maozhao this time was a grand affair.

It wasn't just celebrities live streaming to help farmers sell citrus fruits; even Maozhao itself had launched an internal live stream.

However, their live stream wasn't for selling products, but specifically for capturing the demeanor of those celebrity streamers.

At this moment, the celebrities had just finished their broadcast, but the Maozhao team didn't end theirs; instead, they intended to follow the celebrities until they left.

If any celebrity were willing to accept an interview during this time to talk about their feelings on this live-streaming sales event, that would be even better.

"Seeing Jin Li has fainted!"

"Quick, call an ambulance!"

"Is there anyone here who studied medicine? Who knows how to perform first aid?!"

Several shouts rang out in succession. The staff members holding the equipment didn't think twice and rushed over to check on Seeing Jin Li.

A crowd had gathered around Seeing Jin Li, blocking the area completely.

It just so happened that this staff member knew a bit of first aid, so he quickly said, "Spread out! Don't crowd together; the air is being squeezed out! I know first aid, let me take a look!"

The crowd dispersed.

The equipment carried on the staff member's shoulder captured the scene of Seeing Jin Li fainting.

As he walked over, someone else took the equipment, and only then did the staff member remember to turn it off.

He didn't care whether the netizens had seen it or not; he hurried to listen to Seeing Jin Li's heartbeat.

In fact, the netizens in the live stream had seen Seeing Jin Li lying on the ground the moment the crowd dispersed.

They had also heard the staff member's words clearly.

【Oh my god, Seeing Jin Li fainted!】

【Li Bao has always been in poor health. She worked too hard during this live stream; she went from 3:00 PM until 9:00 PM without even half an hour for a meal!】

【I'm a medical student living in the village next to this one. I wonder if it's too late to go now.】

【Go! Hurry and go!】

Before long, the news of Seeing Jin Li fainting had hit the trending searches.

Unlike the previous times when it was just a minor incident, this news fermented and immediately soared to the number one spot on the trending list!

#Seeing Jin Li works until she faints, current condition unknown#

This trending topic was first seen by the gossip-loving Guan Mingzhu, who immediately shared it in the group chat and then called Seeing Jin Li.

No one answered.

She called several times in a row, but still, no one picked up.

【Pink Girls Group】

NANA: 【Shocked. jpg, have you Match Match Match Match Match Made contact? I've been calling Seeing Jin Li and no one is answering!】

Sister Sister Zhenzhu: 【No, I've been calling too, no answer.】

Tongtong: 【I just called Sister Meng Meng; Sister Meng Meng has the number for Li Bao's manager.】

Sister Meng Meng: 【I just called several times, it's been busy.】

Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian: 【Stop calling. What if the ambulance comes and can't find the location? Her manager's phone needs to stay clear.】

Sister Sister Zhenzhu: 【Hope she's okay, praying. jpg】

On the other side, San Yue Tian and the others had finished their scheduled appearances.

As soon as they got into their van, they found their manager, Brother Guang, looking at his tablet with a serious expression.

Brother Guang was very busy and didn't usually follow them to every appearance, but for important ones, he would still go to oversee things.

This appearance was for a luxury brand event. Although they weren't the brand ambassadors, the brand had specifically invited them as guests.

Brother Guang had previously said that this endorsement was a kind of assessment.

If they performed well enough, they might be able to secure this top-tier endorsement.

"Brother Guang, why is your expression so serious? We've been up here for a while now, and you haven't said a word or started the car."

After a few minutes of silence in the car, Chen Lin was the first to lose patience and speak up.

Brother Guang came back to his senses, rubbed his brow, and handed the tablet to them.

"I'm considering something. Is it really okay for Seeing Jin Li to be a permanent guest on your group variety show? Her health is too poor."

When Gu Cheng heard him mention Seeing Jin Li, he frowned and immediately took the tablet.

What caught his eye was the news of "Seeing Jin Li works until she faints," along with several blurry photos—

Seeing Jin Li was lying on the ground, her face very pale.

The others leaned in to look, their expressions turning serious.

After a long while, Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong said, "I know Sister Seeing Jin Li's health condition. Broadcasting almost non-stop from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, she definitely wouldn't be able to handle it."

Chen Lin echoed, "That's right. Even when recording indoor shows like 'PICK~ Next Station Diva', Sister Seeing Jin Li often needs to rest for a while after two hours of recording. This isn't Sister Seeing Jin Li's fault; this live stream didn't take her health into account."

Luo Yi also said, "Brother Guang, we've already finalized the permanent guests. Now that Sister Seeing Jin Li has had this incident, if we go back on our word, it wouldn't be the act of a gentleman."

Gu Cheng kept browsing the information; his silence already represented his stance.

Brother Guang turned to look at them and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, fine. As long as you all know what you're doing, I don't want to be the bad guy."

"You've known about her condition for a long time and still decided to invite her, so you must have Match Match Match Match Match Made corresponding preparations, right?" Brother Guang confirmed again.

The others nodded quickly.

They thought to themselves: What preparations? It's just that Sister Seeing Jin Li and Sister Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian get along well with them.

They are making their own group variety show; they can invite whoever they want.

Besides, they didn't intend for the show to be too intense anyway. They could fully accept the rhythm of Sister Seeing Jin Li resting for half an hour after every two hours of filming.

It's just that...

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong glanced at Gu Cheng, who was still staring at the tablet, then looked at the news on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I'm afraid the decision-making power for this appearance isn't in their hands.

After this incident, whether Chenxi Entertainment will let Seeing Jin Li participate in the group variety show remains an unknown.

Two hours later.

Seeing Jin Li, who had been the focus of so many, slowly woke up from her hospital bed.

What met her eyes was a vast expanse of pale white, and the air was filled with the smell of various disinfectants.

Seeing Jin Li blinked; she had been sent to the hospital after all.

Although she had told Sister Fang not to go to the hospital before she fainted, Sister Fang couldn't possibly let her have her way; who knew what might happen to her health?

Sounds drifted in from the hallway.

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang was on the phone, her emotions somewhat agitated: "We are already processing the transfer. This hospital is too small, and the doctors don't seem competent; they told me Seeing Jin Li just fainted from exhaustion.

She fainted right in front of me. I was guarding her side before, and her spirit was always very good. How could she suddenly faint?

There must be something wrong with her body. Perhaps there's some hidden internal damage; we should go to a big hospital for a check-up..."

"Sister Fang, I'm really fine." Seeing Jin Li opened the door and leaned against the side of the frame.

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang looked over, and Seeing Jin Li repeated, "Sister Fang, I'm fine. I just fainted because I was too tired."

Speaking of this, she felt quite embarrassed.

During the live-streaming sales, she discovered that focusing intently on selling products could also trigger the 【Twice the Result with Half the Effort】 effect.

But this effect was the same as the one during filming.

It could only prevent her energy from draining too quickly, allowing her to hold on for a longer time.

Unlike studying, which not only didn't consume energy but could also consolidate her foundation and nourish her body and spirit.

She just hadn't managed the duration of her energy consumption well and had pushed herself to the critical point.

And then, she was unlucky; her energy value hit zero, which was why she fainted.

During the time she was unconscious, her energy was slowly recovering, which was why she woke up.

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang hurried over and looked her up and down.

"Are you really fine? We should still go to a big hospital for a check-up!"

Seeing Jin Li said with a wry smile, "Sister Fang, I'm really fine. The doctor was right; I just fainted because I was too tired. No need for a check-up; I know my own body.

Besides, this hospital already ran some tests on me, and those values are all normal, aren't they? Do you hope that something is wrong with me?"

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows, "Pah, pah, pah! You crow's mouth! Don't say things like that; who curses themselves?"

Finally, she asked again, "Really fine?"

Seeing Jin Li said with absolute firmness, certainty, and conviction, "Fine!"

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang looked at her for a few seconds and compromised, "Fine, we won't transfer hospitals, but you have to sleep in the hospital tonight. If there are any problems, you can call the doctor at any time."

Seeing Jin Li knew her own physical condition; staying in the hospital or not Match Match Match Match Match Made no difference to her.

But since Sister Fang was worried, she would stay.

"Fine, I'll only stay one night. Sister Fang, I'm really fine, you don't need to worry." She paused, "The second live stream tomorrow afternoon, no need to cancel it; I'll go as usual."

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang's eyes widened abruptly: "Your body is like this, and you still want to run appearances?

I haven't even had time to settle accounts with Maozhao yet. They changed the agreed-upon one session to two, and they didn't arrange the live-streaming time reasonably. They should have forced you to rest!"

Seeing Jin Li smiled, "Sister Fang, you were right by my side watching during the live stream today; didn't you also feel that my body was fine? This fainting incident can't be blamed on Maozhao."

She said softly, "Besides, me live streaming tomorrow is the best time."

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang was silent, understanding what Seeing Jin Li was talking about.

Now that the news of her fainting had hit the trending searches, netizens were very concerned about her health. If news broke now that "Seeing Jin Li is still insisting on live streaming while dragging her sick body," netizens would definitely praise Seeing Jin Li for her professionalism.

Additionally, given the heat from this fainting incident, the sales for tomorrow's live stream would definitely hit a new high.

If Seeing Jin Li's body was truly fine, going to participate in the appearance tomorrow would kill two birds with one stone.

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang said in a deep voice, "Seeing Jin Li, I'll say it again: you know your own body best, and I won't interfere with your decisions."

"However, if you aren't feeling well, don't force yourself; health is what matters most. You've been at Chenxi Entertainment for so long, so you should know that Mr. Xiao isn't short on money."

"Rather than having you earn money frantically, he cares more about cultivating a reputation. Your reputation is already good enough now, so don't force yourself to do things that make you uncomfortable."

Seeing Jin Li kept Sister Fang's exhortations in her heart and nodded cautiously: "Sister Fang, I understand."

Not knowing what she thought of, she suddenly smiled, and a flush of color appeared on her beautiful, pale face.

In an instant, she was radiant.

"What should I do? I want to go and pray; I'll ask the gods to bless this little koi."

……

Praying was impossible.

Sister Fang had given a strict order: Seeing Jin Li couldn't go anywhere tonight and had to stay in the hospital.

Seeing Jin Li searched on her phone, but there were no Daoist temples nearby, so she could only give up with regret.

She lay on the bed, replying one by one to the messages concerning her health.

Seeing Jin Li sent a message to everyone who asked: 【My body is fine, I was just tired and fainted, and now I've recovered.】 The others didn't ask any further.

Everyone was very restrained and didn't dare to send messages frequently to disturb her rest.

After confirming that Seeing Jin Li was fine, Chenxi Entertainment also issued an official announcement, stating that Seeing Jin Li had only fainted from exhaustion and was not in any serious trouble.

【It's good that she's okay.】

【Li Bao, you don't have to push yourself so hard next time; you've already worked hard enough T^T】

【Yeah, Li Bao, studying is also tiring. Why not stop studying and let's focus on our careers?】

【Every time I see Seeing Jin Li dragging her weak body, running errands while still having to study, I feel: there is no greater 'grind dog' in this world than this!】

Not grinding?

That was impossible.

In order to broadcast smoothly tomorrow, Seeing Jin Li was frantically grinding through practice problems on her hospital bed.

Not daring to make netizens too worried, she didn't turn on a live stream for this study session.

Seeing Jin Li first watched an hour of videos, then spent an hour on problems, feeling that her energy still hadn't fully recovered.

Thinking of the high-efficiency energy recovery buff she had when discussing problems with Gu Cheng before, she hesitated for a moment and proactively poked Gu Cheng.

The messages on her phone interface were still stuck at her reply from two hours ago.

Since then, Gu Cheng hadn't sent any messages.

Seeing Jin Li: 【Busy?】

Gu Cheng: 【No engagements tonight, I'm resting.】

——A second reply!

Seeing Jin Li's eyes lit up; it seemed he had been playing on his phone the whole time.

Seeing Jin Li: 【Want to study?】

Gu Cheng: 【I can, but your health……】

Seeing Jin Li: 【I'm fine, come on, explain some difficult problems to me!】

After sending this message, she immediately initiated a video call.

Gu Cheng answered instantly.

What came into view was Gu Cheng wearing a white shirt; he seemed to have just finished showering, his loose hair carrying a hint of moisture, and he looked fresh and clean, giving off the feeling of a boy next door.

He then put on a pair of ordinary black-rimmed glasses, looking very much like a student.

Seeing Jin Li thought of Gu Cheng's age; 21 was naturally the age for studying, so looking like a student was perfectly fine.

But to Gu Cheng, she didn't look so good.

Seeing Jin Li was wearing a loose hospital gown, her energy hadn't recovered yet, and her lips were pale.

Her hair was messy, as if she had just woken up, and she looked very listless.

He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Are you really okay? You look like you're in a bad state."

Seeing Jin Li affirmed, "Don't worry, I'm fine. If I look like I'm in a bad state, it's because I haven't gotten into the zone with these problems yet."

"Once I get into the zone, I'll recover very quickly!"

Gu Cheng was speechless.

Did she think studying was like leveling up in a game, where grinding problems makes you stronger?

Seeing Jin Li didn't care what Gu Cheng thought; she flipped to a page in her workbook, "Come on, I don't quite understand this problem, can you explain it to me?"

Gu Cheng flipped to the corresponding page and glanced at the problem, "This problem tests conic sections. Have you memorized the corresponding equations and properties?"

Seeing Jin Li nodded: "I have. I wrote out all the general equations, but I don't know which one to apply."

Gu Cheng quickly listed a string of formulas and analyzed the problem for her, "It's testing a parabola, y2=2px (p＞0), (1) the range is X≥0……"

While he was explaining the problem to Seeing Jin Li, the other members of the March Sky boy band silently left the area where Gu Cheng was.

Oh my, how terrifying.

Why, just after coming out of the shower, did they have to see such a heavy blow? After running errands all day, Gu Cheng still! Wanted! To! Study!

It was still early, and they had gone to the living room actually wanting to slack off.

Chen Lin was bold; he quietly ran to the edge of the sofa and peeked, wondering which "grind dog" was dragging Gu Cheng to study together.

Was there another Seeing Jin Li No. 2 after the first one?

When he saw the person in the video, his eyes widened, and he whispered, "Holy cow!"

Gu Cheng looked up from his studies and gave him a cold glance.

Chen Lin smiled at him, put his hand over his mouth, and Match Match Match Match Match Made a zipping motion.

He quickly ran away to the kitchen area.

There was a dining table near the kitchen.

The sofa in the living room had already been occupied by Gu Cheng, so the three big men could only squeeze into the dining table area, feeling aggrieved.

Chen Lin lowered his voice and said, "You guys would never guess who I saw in the video."

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi glanced at him and ignored him.

Chen Lin couldn't wait to announce the answer: "I saw Seeing Jin Li!"

"Seeing Jin Li?" The other two were also stunned.

"Isn't Seeing Jin Li resting?"

"Is Seeing Jin Li's health better?"

Chen Lin shook his head: "No, no, no, she's still resting, and her health isn't better either; I saw her wearing a hospital gown!"

"She's on a video call with Gu Cheng, and they're studying together; Gu Cheng is explaining problems to Seeing Jin Li."

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi looked at each other, feeling very heavy-hearted.

Seeing Jin Li was wearing a hospital gown and still studying?

Then, weren't they, who had all their limbs and health, just……

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong suddenly stood up, "I'm going to get my sheet music."

Luo Yi also stood up and said with a solemn expression, "I'm going to get my lyrics."

Chen Lin: ……

What was he supposed to do?

Did he need to take out an instrument and play music to help them get in the mood?

At the same moment, Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang also quietly opened the hospital room door.

She was originally afraid of disturbing Seeing Jin Li's rest, but when she pushed the door open, she found that her artist was studying.

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang: ……

For some reason, her mood suddenly relaxed a bit, and she had a feeling of "as expected."

How should she put it? Since she still had the energy to study, it seemed her health really was better.

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and then quietly closed the door again.

She was going to prepare fruit for Seeing Jin Li!

The next afternoon.

The person in charge of the Maozhao live streaming platform was pacing anxiously in the orchard.

"What are those celebrities saying? It's already two o'clock, why hasn't a single person come?"

Seeing Jin Li had come at two o'clock yesterday, but Seeing Jin Li had fainted, and Maozhao also bore some responsibility for this; they didn't dare to ask Chenxi Entertainment if Seeing Jin Li was still coming today.

Anyone would think so—Seeing Jin Li fainted last night, so it was impossible for her to continue live streaming today.

"I've contacted them, and I was rejected; one artist said they aren't coming."

"I've also contacted them on my end, and I was also rejected; she isn't coming either."

"They aren't coming on my end either!"

The person in charge's face turned livid; the artists who weren't coming were all the ones who had been eager to come before, just to ride the coattails of the popularity and traffic.

Now that Seeing Jin Li wasn't coming to live stream, the biggest source of popularity and traffic was gone, and these artists were also changing their tune, with none of them coming!

Suddenly, an employee said: "I've contacted Chenxi Entertainment, their artists will be coming!"

The person in charge felt a weight lift from his heart, and his brows relaxed, "Chenxi Entertainment is still trustworthy; if there's a chance in the future, we'll deepen our cooperation with them."

At this moment, he didn't think that the artists sent by Chenxi Entertainment would not only include the batch from yesterday, but even more……

Three o'clock sharp.

Several nanny vans were parked at the entrance of the orchard.

An assistant got out of the lead vehicle first, then ran to the back seat to open the door.

The person in charge had been waiting at the entrance of the air-conditioned live streaming shed; hearing the commotion, he looked up, froze, and then ran out repeatedly.

"Seeing Jin Li?"

"Seeing Jin Li, why did you come over? Is your health alright?"

It wasn't hot outside at the moment, but the person in charge was already drenched in sweat.

Seeing Jin Li had arrived suddenly, and he was both surprised and delighted.

But he was also very nervous; what if she fainted right in front of him?

Would Maozhao Live Streaming have to take the blame again? He would be unable to shirk the responsibility!

Seeing Jin Li nodded at the person in charge: "Hello, I'm here to live stream. Has the equipment been calibrated?"

"Yes, yes, everything is adjusted... Wait, you're here to live stream?" he asked in disbelief, raising his voice.

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "Yes, to live stream. Is the farmer brother who partnered with me yesterday here? I'd like to continue partnering with him."

"He's here, he's here!"

The person in charge went to find the farmer brother himself, his legs feeling light as he ran.

His mind was filled with chaotic thoughts—

"Seeing Jin Li came to live stream?"

"Seeing Jin Li's health has recovered?"

"Seeing Jin Li won't faint again, will she?"

"Holy crap, today's sales volume is going to explode!"

The moment Seeing Jin Li started the broadcast, the Maozhao official team decisively bought a trending search spot.

Maozhao didn't dare buy a top-ten spot, so they bought one in the top twenty, mainly fearing that netizens would scold them for being heartless and treating Seeing Jin Li like a slave.

But not buying a trending search spot?

It would be a pity not to capitalize on the buzz of "Seeing Jin Li working while ill."

Besides, they really hadn't asked Seeing Jin Li to come back to live stream; even if Seeing Jin Li had stood them up, they would have been willing.

The netizens had truly wronged them!

The tag #JinLiContinuesToLiveStreamAndSellGoods#, once it appeared in the top twenty of the trending searches, was immediately pushed into the top ten by netizens.

Basically, every netizen who clicked in would enter the live streaming link within this trending search.

【Front row watching!】

【Seeing Jin Li is truly too dedicated!】

【Her complexion looks much better; has her health improved?】

【No, Seeing Jin Li is wearing makeup; you can tell at a glance, it's covering up the signs of illness.】

【Maozhao is truly conscience-less!】

Seeing Jin Li glanced at the comments and explained: "It has nothing to do with Maozhao. They didn't ask me to come back to live stream; it's because I feel my health has recovered quite a bit, so I decided to come and live stream."

"This project to assist farmers is also a local poverty alleviation project. I sincerely hope to contribute a bit of strength to them."

"Come, let's focus our attention on the citrus fruits. Don't look at me; I'm not as important as the fruit. Come look at the citrus!"

The farmer brother on the side said: "No, no, no, people are still more important. Seeing Jin Li, are you really okay?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "I'm really okay, brother. If I weren't, I wouldn't have come to sell goods. Health is more important!"

The farmer brother nodded repeatedly: "Right, right! But let me host this time. You just sit on the side and eat some fruit. Do you want to eat grapes? I bought some today."

【Hahaha, the farmer brother is so simple and honest. Why not eat your own citrus?】

【Seeing Jin Li already ate a lot yesterday. The brother probably fears Seeing Jin Li is tired of them and is changing her palate.】

【I went to other celebrities' live streams, but Seeing Jin Li's is still the most interesting. However, there are few stars live streaming to sell goods today!】

At the same time, with the Sanyuetian boy band.

As soon as Gu Cheng finished his stage performance and arrived backstage, he stole a moment to take out his phone.

They were recording a variety show and were currently on a break; in half an hour, they had to dance their second routine.

Opening the live stream, placing an order, filling in the address, and paying—Gu Cheng did it all in one go without blinking.

In just one minute, the operation was complete.

He put down his phone and said to Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong, who was nearby: "Captain, I just bought some fruit. You guys take it back to share later. If you can't finish it, share some with the company staff. I used your address."

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong was having his hair styled and asked strangely upon hearing this: "Why didn't you send it to your place?"

Gu Cheng: "I bought too much. My place is remote, so your place is more convenient, and it's easier to distribute from there."

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong agreed casually: "Fine, how much did you buy, and what did you buy?"

Gu Cheng: "Five hundred catties of citrus."

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong gave a start, his head jerking up a few inches: "You said you bought how much?"

Gu Cheng said calmly: "Five hundred catties of citrus."

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong: %#￥&……!

Here it is, here it is! I wrote a few hundred words more than yesterday. I'll try to write more and update at noon. Everyone can catch up~ By the way, for the friends who cast monthly tickets, have you tried flipping the cards for the monthly tickets? I wrote blessings on them~
