ng Fu Has to be Present
Upon hearing the butler’s voice, Jiang Xinchen, who had been ascending the stairs, paused. “Butler, what happened?”
Butler Jiang was also an old-tir of the Jiang family. He had followed the old master to the battlefield before and his prestige in the Jiang family could even surpass Jiang Quan’s. The juniors of the Jiang family respected Butler Jiang very much. In the past he had followed the old master everywhere and had had countless extraordinary encounters. Therefore, he always had a calm and steady disposition. His current expression made Jiang Xinchen’s heart drop.
“Okay, okay, we’ll be there soon,” Butler Jiang said to the person on the other end. He then hung up the call, his hands trembling. He only managed to return the phone receiver to its original position on his second try.
He supported himself by holding onto the back of the chair behind him with his hand. He then turned to Jiang Xinchen. “Young Master, get Master and Madam to co down. Old… Old Master’s condition is not good. We have to hurry to the hospital.”
His voice was shaking.
When Jiang Xinchen heard this, his expression changed drastically and he panicked for a mont. He then imdiately rushed upstairs to look for Jiang Quan and Yu Zhenling.
Yu Zhenling tore off the mask on her face swiftly and ca out without any makeup on. “Xinchen, what happened to your grandfather?”
Jiang Xinchen shook his head. “Butler Jiang received a call from the hospital. Let’s go downstairs first.”
Yu Zhenling followed Jiang Xinchen downstairs while trying to pull on her coat.
Old Master Jiang was the pillar of the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family had been a wealthy and prestigious family in T City for many years, its current standing and reputation was thanks to Old Master Jiang. He was a well-known and reputable “fearso one” in T City and no one in the Jiang family could override the decisions he made.
In the past, when ng Fu had wanted to drop out of school and enter showbiz, none of the Jiang family agreed to it except for the old master. Therefore, ng Fu got her wish.

Soon after, they arrived at the hospital.
Old Master Jiang was in the ergency room. The Director and Deputy Director of the Hospital, who were responsible for taking care of Old Master Jiang, had also arrived. There was also a team of experts conducting consultations and analysis on the sa floor.
Jiang Quan’s forehead was covered with sweat but he could still manage the situation. “Doctor, how is my dad?”
“It’s the sa.” The director shook his head. He glanced at Jiang Quan. “Too much ‘qi’ has accumulated in his body. This kind of ‘qi’ is very mysterious. He also has old illnesses he acquired during his fighting on the battlefield during his youth. His illness relapsed because he has been very emotional these past two days. You have to be ntally prepared.”
The doctor would never guarantee a patient’s health to his family mbers. Even for risk-free surgeries, the doctor could not promise a 100% success rate. This was even more so for Old Master Jiang’s situation.
These words made Jiang Quan’s head hurt.
He didn’t disturb the doctor anymore. He did two things. First, he delegated the tasks he had on hand to his subordinates and also stopped the news of Old Master Jiang’s condition from leaking. If their business rivals were to find out about Old Master Jiang, they would certainly deal the Jiang family’s businesses a hard blow.
It was precisely during such tis that he had to calm down and hold the fort.
The second decision was to inform ng Fu and get her to hurry to the hospital.
The old master had been very strict for most of his life. He had always had high expectations of his juniors, especially Jiang Quan and Jiand Xinchen. Therefore, the Jiang family had always been afraid of the old master.
He had only llowed out in the recent two years because of his poor health. Coincidentally, ng Fu had returned to the family during this ti and beca the apple of the old master’s eye.
Furthermore, ng Fu was quite good in several other aspects. She was well-behaved and did not act in undue confidence of her own ability and look down upon others. She was also good-looking. Jiang Quan could understand why the old master took a liking to her.
If anything were to happen…
ng Fu had to be present at such a ti.
**
At the sa ti, at the training camp.
All the trainees had finished rehearsing. Manager Sheng had also finished discussing the live broadcast with the program planner.
The planner saw Manager Sheng out respectfully.
When the planner was out of sight, the assistant beside Manager Sheng glanced in the rear view mirror quizzically. “Manager, are we going to let this slide? Ms. ng hasn’t even done the rehearsal…”
The usually stern-looking Manager Sheng faintly smiled. “After this incident, the “Best Idol” program crew will not dare to edit ng Fu’s scenes anymore. We’ll just wait for the live broadcast the day after tomorrow. ng Fu will get more screen ti. When have any of our artists suffered such grievances?”
After listening to Manager Sheng, the assistant rembered sothing. He had just finished gathering information about Best Idol in the last couple of days and was aware that the program team had deliberately edited the show with malicious comnts about ng Fu.
After all, variety shows relied on editing. Sotis, they would delete half or all of the scenes from the entire episode. The effects would be completely different and of course, all of ng Fu’s criticisms remained. This was an undisputed fact.
Manager Sheng’s action was truly vicious. The program planner was probably terrified right now.
“But ng Fu is singing live this ti.” The assistant glanced at Manager Shangsheng. “Should we inform the program crew to…”
Indeed, ng Fu’s singing could not make it.
Manager Sheng tapped his fingers on his knees, seemingly deep in thought.

When the program planner could no longer see Manager Sheng’s car, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
“How did Sheng Entertainnt sign ng Fu?” Suddenly, he heard Xi Nancheng’s voice from behind him.
“That’s right. I had thought it was Ye Shuning. I didn’t expect to make such a blunder.” The planner was also surprised. He turned around. “But ng Fu does have the potential. I talked to Director Mu about grooming her previously.”
Xi Nancheng shook his head and frowned. “Her dancing is indeed passable. But you must be kidding when you talk about grooming her for the international stage. If she can make it to the international stage with such poor standards, we’ll be ridiculed by netizens.”
He could foresee such a situation judging from the reactions of others. Everyone had thought Ye Shuning was the one Sheng Entertainnt had signed. This point alone was enough to reflect the issue.
“Is Sheng Entertainnt feeling complacent?” Xi Nancheng tucked his hands into his pocket. “Do they think that it’s possible to sign with any artist and make them Yi Tong? I’m afraid they are going to ruin their own reputation this ti.”
The program planner could not agree with this. In fact, he thought quite highly of ng Fu.
However, Xi Nancheng was akin to a hardcore Ye Shuning fan now. Therefore, the program planner didn’t say a word. He rely shook his head and said, “If you have the ti, you should apologize to ng Fu. It’s true that she didn’t do anything wrong today.”
Xi Nancheng did not feel comfortable apologizing to ng Fu. However, he also knew that he had gone overboard tonight. Therefore, he was silent. After the rehearsal, he made a trip to the training camp to apologize to ng Fu.
“Do you an ng Fu?” The crew mber was taken aback when he asked where she was. “She just took ti off to go ho. I think she went to visit her grandfather.”
Xi Nancheng’s expression instantly beca indifferent. He nodded slightly. “Okay.”
He knew it.
**
At the sa ti.
ng Fu arrived at the hospital. Zhao Fan had gone ho and ng Fu took a cab by herself. When she arrived at the hospital, Old Master Jiang was still in the ergency room.
...
Jiang Xinchen, Jiang Xinran, and Yu Zhenling were all standing at the door of the ergency room. She didn’t know what they were talking about. Jiang Xinchen turned around and imdiately saw ng Fu coming out of the lift. He couldn’t help but sneer coldly. “Who told her to co? Grandpa beca like this because of her!”
“Brother, don’t speak anymore…” Jiang Xinran nudged him in the arm.
Jiang Xinchen ignored her and continued to stare at ng Fu contemptuously. “How can she help by coming here? Sing and dance for Grandpa? Or draw a talisman for him?”
