Ye Qingqing was taken aback. Master Daoyi looked radiant and full of energy in the spring. Could it be—

"Is the master unwell?"

"No, it's just that I'm too overworked."

Ye Qingqing didn't quite understand. How could someone of Master Daoyi's status need to work so hard? His food, clothing, and shelter were all taken care of, and he was always a guest of honor wherever he went. Where did he get tired?

Since Master Liujue had said so, Ye Qingqing naturally wouldn't refuse. "Everyone's constitution is different. How about this, I'll take the master's pulse in three days and prepare a medicine pill for him separately. What do you think?"

"That's great, then. Be sure to arrive at 3 PM sharp three days from now," Master Liujue instructed.

Ye Qingqing made a note of it. After hanging up, she called Zou Hanqiu directly, but no one answered after two attempts. So she sent him a text message asking him to call her back when he had time, as he should be filming at the moment.

Veteran stars are generally quite easygoing and do everything themselves. Zou Hanqiu and Zhang Zhengrong, despite their high status, traveled all the way to the mainland to film, carrying only two suitcases and no assistants. The production crew provided them with a driver.

Ye Qingqing remembered watching entertainment news in her previous life. Some minor celebrities, despite not being big stars, acted like robbers, always wearing masks, hats, and sunglasses, as if afraid of being recognized. But Ye Qingqing thought that probably not many people would recognize them; they were just too self-important.

Even though they were completely covered up, it didn't matter. There were seven or eight bodyguards around him, a dark line of guards in front and behind, even more grand than the president's procession. They were all experts at these kinds of tricks. When they acted, they could widen their eyes, grin, frown, cry, laugh, be happy, or be angry with the same expression.

It's said that he can act out an entire play with just one expression; he's truly a genius.

Compared to today's veteran stars, Ye Qingqing really felt that some of the later stars were simply not worthy of the high salaries they received. One film or two could earn them astronomical sums that an ordinary person couldn't earn in a lifetime. No wonder that in ten years or so, children's dreams will no longer be scientists, doctors, police officers, or teachers, but basically all of them will want to be stars.

What a bizarre social phenomenon!

Ye Qingqing sighed. She had no prejudice against celebrities and enjoyed following them herself. She genuinely liked talented stars like Zou Hanqiu and Zhang Zhengrong, but as for some other celebrities who just stared blankly on variety shows, well, that was just laughable.

Half an hour later, Zou Hanqiu called. "Sorry, I was filming just now."

Ye Qingqing didn't care at all and said directly, "Master Daoyi has half a day free in three days, but he requires you to bring your wife with you. I will pick you and your wife up at noon in three days."

"Okay, okay, I'll have my wife come over right away. Thank you so much."

Zou Hanqiu thanked him repeatedly, overjoyed. He had a premonition that he would definitely achieve his wish this time.

Something minor happened in the last three days, which Gongsun Lin told me over the phone; she was still in Country T.

"The pervert Julie married died suddenly yesterday. The official explanation is that he died of illness, but I don't believe it."

Ye Qingqing was not surprised. How could someone like Julie be abused for nothing? Since Julie had hooked up with Yin Yu, a powerful backer, she would definitely avenge her. A little poison would be enough to take care of her.

She told Gongsun Lin that Julie was still alive, and Gongsun Lin cursed angrily, "That little bitch is so shameless, she's got a lot of luck. Is she in Pingjiang now? I'll be there the day after tomorrow!"

Hmph, she'll meet this little bitch with her own hands. China is her hometown, and she refuses to believe that this little bitch can get away with anything!
