Trending topic alert: The mysterious fan site administrator of a top celebrity has been exposed.

Chu Yi had completely forgotten about the variety show "Heartstrings in the Distant Mountains" that Cheng Yingzhi had signed her up for.

Unexpectedly, almost a month later, the program's director contacted him, hoping that Chu Yi could come to their studio for a face-to-face meeting.

Upon receiving the news, Cheng Yingzhi, who was gloating, immediately went to Chu Yi and volunteered to act as his driver and "agent," claiming that he would help him review the details of the contract.

The elevator went directly to the upper floors, and the receptionist, clearly having been notified beforehand, warmly led them to a small meeting room. The corridor was carpeted thickly, footsteps were silent, and the environment was quiet and professional.

"Relax, it's just a formality, to get a feel for the process and things to note. I'll look at the contract for you, I definitely won't cheat you." Cheng Yingzhi lowered his voice and patted Chu Yi's shoulder.

Chu Yi gave a light "hmm," showing little nervousness about the trip and viewing it more as a work task that needed to be taken seriously.

The staff member pushed open the conference room door and gestured for them to come in.

However, the scene inside the door surprised the staff who led the way, as well as Chu Yi and Cheng Yingzhi who came in later.

The meeting room was not empty.

On the sofa by the window, a person was leaning back, with an open financial magazine covering their face, seemingly asleep.

He wore a simple black hoodie paired with shorts. His fair, long, and shapely legs were casually propped up, and even without seeing his face, his superior physique and the languid yet sharp aura he exuded were impossible to ignore.

Who else could it be but Zhou Ai?

The staff member leading the way was clearly taken aback, and subconsciously muttered in a low voice, "Teacher Zhou? How come you... arrived so early?" His tone was full of disbelief and surprise.

Cheng Yingzhi's eyes widened, and he nudged Chu Yi lightly with his elbow, giving him a look that said, "See? I told you this kid was weird."

Chu Yi paused slightly, glancing at the person on the sofa who was covering their face with a magazine, and her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He certainly didn't expect to run into Zhou Ai here, much less that he would be the first to arrive.

Upon hearing the news, the program's director rushed over. Seeing Zhou Ai on the sofa, his face instantly broke into a smile of flattery mixed with a touch of apprehension: "Teacher Zhou! Why didn't you tell us you were coming? We could have come to pick you up! Look at this..."

The head under the magazine moved slightly, and then the magazine was removed by a hand with distinct knuckles, revealing a head of distinctive silver-gray hair.

Zhou Ai seemed to have just been woken up, her eyes still showing a hint of drowsiness and laziness, but her gaze accurately bypassed the person in charge and landed directly on Chu Yi, who had just entered the room.

Those peach blossom eyes seemed to be lit up with tiny sparks of light in an instant, all sleepiness vanished, and a smile naturally curved the corners of her mouth.

He acted as if he hadn't seen the person in charge or Cheng Yingzhi, speaking only to Chu Yi, his voice still a little hoarse from just waking up, but his tone was perfectly natural: "Dr. Chu, you've arrived?"

It was as if they had arranged to meet here long ago.

The program director looked at Zhou Ai, then at Chu Yi, whose face remained calm and composed, and his surprise deepened.

Zhou Ai is known in the industry for being difficult and capricious, with unpredictable schedules and a tendency to change her mind about things she has promised.

The team felt incredibly lucky to have managed to get him on board, especially after hearing that the Zhou family had promptly and anonymously invested a huge sum in the program, making them treat him like a "sugar daddy" who needed to be treated with utmost care.

At the pre-filming discussion meeting, they didn't even expect this guy to attend on time; just showing up would be a huge favor.

Who would have thought that he was not only the only one who arrived early, but also... fell asleep in the conference room?

And now, this hard-to-please young master is looking at the amateur doctor they've invited with shining eyes.

The person in charge's mind raced through countless thoughts, but his smile grew even warmer as he quickly smoothed things over: "Teacher Zhou, Dr. Chu, Young Master Cheng, it's good that you're all here, please have a seat! Dr. Chu, this is Teacher Zhou Ai, also a member of our 'Celebrity Volunteer Team' this time. Teacher Zhou, this is Dr. Chu Yi, our specially invited 'flying doctor' this time."

Zhou Ai then nodded casually to the person in charge, as if she had just noticed the others, as if to say hello.

Then his gaze returned to Chu Yi, and he patted the empty seat next to him: "Dr. Chu, would you like to sit here?"

Cheng Yingzhi rolled his eyes. "No need, no need, Zhou, we can sit here." He pulled Chu Yi to sit down a little further away from Zhou Ai.

Zhou Ai raised an eyebrow, said nothing, but leaned back slightly, her gaze still fixed on Chu Yi with interest. Her directness made the program director feel a little uncomfortable.

Chu Yi seemed completely oblivious, simply nodding calmly to the person in charge: "Hello." Then she took out her notebook and pen, appearing to be in a businesslike manner, ready to have a serious meeting.

Not long after, the other celebrity members also arrived.

First up was Zhou Jiashu, the leader of the popular group SK. Wearing a refreshing denim jacket, he entered with a bright and sunny smile, bowing politely and saying, "Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Jiashu from SK. Nice to meet you!" He was just like a well-behaved and sensible puppy.

Next up was the well-known host Xie Mo. With his extensive experience, he greeted everyone warmly as soon as he entered, and his humorous words quickly enlivened the atmosphere: "Oh, Professor Zhou Ai is the first one here? Did the sun rise in the west? Dr. Chu, right? It's an honor to meet you. I'll be relying on you to take good care of me from now on!" He took the initiative to shake hands with Chu Yi.

Then came Qin Yaoyao, a member of the cute girl dance group. She was wearing an adorable dress and spoke in a sweet voice: "Hello everyone, I'm Qin Yaoyao~" When she saw Zhou Ai and Zhou Jiashu, her eyes lit up, and she seemed a little excited.

Finally arrived was the award-winning actor Gu Jingyi. He was the oldest, dressed casually but his calm demeanor was undeniable. With a gentle smile on his face, he nodded to each person, saying, "I'm sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way, I've kept you all waiting." His humble attitude was like a breath of fresh air.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and introductions, the meeting officially began.

The person in charge first welcomed everyone again, and then highlighted Chu Yi: "This is Dr. Chu Yi, our specially invited flying doctor for this program. Over the next twenty days, he will be responsible for our medical and health support, and will also be our professional guide for in-depth experience of rural healthcare."

Chu Yi stood up and bowed slightly, his attitude humble yet professional.

Next, the person in charge began introducing the celebrity team, speaking enthusiastically: "Our 'Celebrity Volunteer Team' lineup this time is simply dream-like! First up is someone we all know, a top star with immense personal charm—Ms. Zhou Ai!"

Zhou Ai lazily raised her hand.

"Next up is the incredibly popular and award-winning host, Teacher Xie Mo! With Teacher Xie here, our communication and atmosphere will be absolutely flawless!"

Xie Mo smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "You flatter me, you flatter me. I will do my best."

"And there's our talented and beloved actor, Mr. Gu Jinyi! Mr. Gu's depth and insight will surely capture many more moving moments for us."

Gu Jingyi smiled gently: "I hope I can live up to your expectations."

"And, our incredibly popular, stage-king SK's captain—Zhou Jiashu! Jiashu's energy and charisma are exactly what we need!"

Zhou Jiashu immediately stood up and bowed again: "I will strive to learn from all my seniors!"

"Finally, our adorable and talented little fairy from the dance troupe—Qin Yaoyao! Yaoyao's sensitivity and optimism will surely add countless highlights to our journey!"

Qin Yaoyao smiled sweetly: "Please take good care of me, everyone~"

"We believe that such a top-notch team, which combines influence, professionalism, age range, and diverse personalities, will surely create brilliant ideas and better fulfill this public welfare mission, profoundly conveying the true face of the medical situation in remote mountainous areas and the dedication of rural doctors to a wide audience."

During the introduction, Zhou Ai seemed somewhat distracted, her fingers unconsciously twirling the pen on the table, her gaze occasionally drifting towards Chu Yi.

Midway through, when the person in charge mentioned the large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains and the need to bring warm clothing, Zhou Ai suddenly interjected, her voice lazy, but her eyes were on Chu Yi: "Dr. Chu, do you need me to bring you a spare jacket? I have one that the brand gave me, one that I haven't worn."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

All eyes turned to Zhou Ai, then to Chu Yi. A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Jingyi's eyes, while Xie Mo wore a professionally amused expression. Zhou Jiashu and Qin Yaoyao, on the other hand, were clearly observing the two with curiosity.

Chu Yi looked up, her expression unchanged, her tone distant yet polite: "Thank you, Teacher Zhou, but no need. I will prepare everything myself."

"Oh," Zhou Ai replied, not embarrassed by the rejection. Instead, she added, "What about snacks? It's not convenient to buy things in the mountains. I bought a lot of Golden potato chips, I can share them with you."

Person in charge: "???"

What is the Crown Prince doing?

Xie Mo smoothed things over, laughing, "Teacher Zhou, your way of showing concern for your colleagues is quite unique, from coats to potato chips, a one-stop service?"

Qin Yaoyao whispered to Zhou Jiashu, "Golden potato chips? Does Teacher Zhou like that brand too?"

Zhou Jiashu shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

Cheng Yingzhi covered his face, unable to bear the sight.

Chu Yi's fingers tightened slightly as she held the pen, but her expression remained calm, even maintaining basic politeness: "Professor Zhou, you've gone to so much trouble. We really don't need it. Let's continue the meeting."

He quickly steered the conversation back on track.

Zhou Ai seemed to finally notice the subtle impatience in Chu Yi's tone. She shrugged and finally quieted down for the time being, but the half-smile on her lips remained.

The meeting continued, but the atmosphere remained subtly tense. The program crew members exchanged glances, secretly wondering what was going on.

Xie Mo would occasionally glance at Zhou Ai and Chu Yi with a probing look, while Gu Jingyi remained gentle, but there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Ai.

While listening to the meeting, Cheng Yingzhi frantically tried to signal Zhou Ai to tone it down with his eyes, but Zhou Ai pretended not to see it.

Finally, the meeting was drawing to a close.

The person in charge confirmed, "That's the general arrangement. We'll depart in a week; we'll let you know the specific meeting time and place later. Dr. Chu, what about your hospital..."

"It's all been coordinated, no problem." Chu Yi closed her notebook.

"Great!" The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at everyone, "Teachers, shall we call it a day?"

Zhou Ai stood up first, but her gaze fell on Chu Yi, and a smile played on her lips: "Dr. Chu, see you in the mountains then, please give me your guidance."

Chu Yi stood up, nodded slightly, and said in the same calm tone she used with all her colleagues, "Professor Zhou, you flatter me. Everyone, let's cooperate with each other at work. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
