Ling Zhenfei noticed the two people's voices were getting a bit loud, so he quickly said to the young lady, "Miss, please don't argue. Let's take a photo together, and then you can go back to your seat."
The girl seemed a little disappointed but still took a photo with Ling Zhenfei.
"Mr. Ling, I really like you and am very grateful to you. My brother plays football and injured his ligament. He was bedridden for a long time without improving, but last month he recovered well after your treatment in the Capital City."
No wonder this girl admired Ling Zhenfei so much; now the reason was clear.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Make sure he takes his medicine properly and doesn't engage in too much strenuous activity during this period."
"I understand, Mr. Ling. Thank you so much."
After the girl left, Yan Shuang looked at Ling Zhenfei as if he were some kind of monster.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yan Shuang said, "Was I really that ignorant before? I didn't know about you, and I didn't expect you to be so famous."
Kong Lu said, "Not knowing about Ling Zhenfei? You've been living under a rock, haven't you? Look at your Weibo, you've got over two million followers. Do you know how many followers Mr. Ling has? Over ninety million now."
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly clarified, "That's just the number of people following our activities, not my actual fan count. Our country's population isn't that large."
Yan Shuang was surprised and looked at Ling Zhenfei more like he was an anomaly.
Just then, the award ceremony reached another climax with the presentation of the Popular Female Celebrity Award.
Upon hearing the nominations, Ling Zhenfei's heart rate increased because Li Yuetong was among them.
When Li Hai read Li Yuetong's name, his voice was noticeably louder than the others.
Everyone's attention turned to the stage. After a series of tense introductions, it was finally revealed that Li Yuetong had won the Popular Female Actress Award.
As Li Yuetong took the stage to receive her award, even Li Hai's eyes seemed different, but since he was a highly regarded actor himself, it wasn't overly obvious.
After Li Yuetong delivered her acceptance speech and was about to leave, Li Hai stopped her.
"Yuetong, don't be too nervous. I'm not going to ask anything. It's just that this year's award show has added a fun new segment."
"What segment?" Li Yuetong asked.
Li Hai said, "Actually, it'll be quite simple for you. Everyone knows our actors are multi-talented in singing and dancing.
In the past, we had special guest performers at our award shows. But this time, we're doing things differently. In a moment, our lighting technician will focus a light beam.
The beam will move randomly and choose an actor. Whoever the light lands on will have to perform a short program."
Li Yuetong said, "The light won't land on me, right? Otherwise, I'll just sing and step down."
Everyone knew that besides acting, Li Yuetong was also a singer and had even held concerts.
Li Hai said, "This time, it won't be you. Once the drum sounds, the light will move randomly, and you have to shout 'stop.'
When you shout 'stop,' whoever the light lands on will come up and perform."
Li Yuetong said, "Sounds fun. Let's give it a try then."
The actors below the stage tensed up. Those who were multitalented had no fear.
However, many others were nervous because there had been no rehearsal, and they had no idea what might happen. Any stage accidents could be troublesome.
Ling Zhenfei was a bit stunned, feeling something was off about the situation.
But the game had already begun, lights dimmed, and drums sounded.
A beam of light descended from the top, casting itself on one of the actors.
The game was indeed exhilarating, and the fans at the back were naturally thrilled, but the actors caught in the moment were nervous.
They originally thought they were just attending an award ceremony, and now suddenly had to put on a show.
The resonant drumbeats rippled through the air and more through the hearts of the people. Unlike the actors, Yan Shuang wasn't overthinking things.
Having received a well-rounded education from an early age, she wasn't afraid of being chosen as she'd likely excel in singing, dancing, or piano.
She simply took it as a lighthearted game, but Ling Zhenfei pondered deeply about it.
Ling Zhenfei had thoughts no average person could fathom.
He even thought it might be another clever scheme.
At this moment, Li Yuetong shouted 'stop.'
The drum sounds halted, and, contrary to expectations, the light moved away from others and fixed onto Ling Zhenfei.
If Ling Zhenfei didn't believe this was planned beforehand, it would be a hard sell.
It appeared that Li Hai had orchestrated this, aiming to have Ling Zhenfei take the stage and perform.
First, Ling Zhenfei was sitting in an actor's spot, so being chosen wasn't unusual.
There was also the question of performing. Everyone knew Ling Zhenfei was a doctor and a restaurant owner.
But no one was aware if he had any other talents.
Even if someone could sing or dance, facing such a big stage with so many people watching would be overwhelming.
Ling Zhenfei's appearance on stage meant he would definitely embarrass himself, especially in front of so many actors, directors, and fans. Most importantly, humiliating himself in front of Li Yuetong.
Li Hai's devious intentions were impressively deep, going so far as to come up with such a plan.
At this time, seeing the spotlight on Ling Zhenfei, everyone began to cheer.
Some recognized him, while others didn't, but all joined in the clamoring to have Ling Zhenfei go up.
Everybody watched Ling Zhenfei, who of course couldn't just sit there; that would truly be embarrassing.
So Ling Zhenfei stood up and calmly walked toward the stage.
Many people already recognized Ling Zhenfei and began shouting his name.
"Ling Zhenfei, it's Ling Zhenfei."
Li Yuetong also didn't expect it would be such a coincidence that her random stop landed on Ling Zhenfei.
Under everyone's gaze, Ling Zhenfei walked onto the stage.
Jin Hua approached him, somewhat puzzled, unclear as to who Ling Zhenfei was.
"Hello, handsome young actor. Please introduce yourself," Jin Hua assumed Ling Zhenfei was some up-and-coming star.
Some people in the audience started laughing at this point.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Hello everyone, my name is Ling Zhenfei, and indeed, I'm a newbie in TV and film."
As soon as they heard his name, many shouted his name, even those who didn't recognize him, because they had heard the name Ling Zhenfei mentioned often by various people before.
"Feifei is the most handsome!"
A high-pitched female voice emerged from the fans, eliciting yet another round of laughter from the crowd.
Jin Hua, also taken aback, said to Ling Zhenfei, "So you're Divine Doctor Ling Zhenfei. Forgive my eyes for not recognizing; I thought you were some fresh new talent."
