Chapter 401 - 129 Mixed Feelings About Going to the Movies (First Update)
The next day, an international seminar themed "Exploration of System Medicine Theory and Practice" took place in the first lecture hall of Jiangzhou Medical University, featuring thematic speeches and discussions by renowned international and domestic experts in systems theory and medicine.
Yun Ya gently pushed open the classroom door and saw Professor Li Yuan delivering the opening speech on stage.
Yun Ya found a seat in the last row and settled down to listen to the report attentively.
She saw many familiar faces, Director Su, Vice President Pei, some seasoned experts and professors from the hospital, as well as some well-regarded professors from the medical community, including even some foreign medical experts.
Her gaze locked onto a figure sitting in the first row, wearing a gray Sun Yat-sen suit, his hairs jet-black with streaks of gray, sitting ramrod straight, listening intently to the report.
That person was the renowned otolaryngology professor in Country Hua, Wen Dehua.
Next to him sat a white-haired old man in his sixties or seventies, likely Academician Chiang, who had been awarded the Medical Lifetime Achievement Award by the Medical Science Academy, a venerable monument in Country Hua’s medical community.
Both listened attentively, occasionally bending their heads to exchange a few words, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
After Professor Li Yuan finished speaking, the audience erupted into thunderous applause. He sauntered down from the podium with unhurried steps, his eyes casually sweeping across the crowd until they landed on a familiar figure in the last row.
He smiled and waved at that person.
At that moment, all eyes were on Professor Li Yuan, curious to see to whom he was greeting. Assuming that such a display of familiarity from Professor Li must be towards a respected elder, they turned their heads, only to be met with the sight of a stunning, young girl seated in the last row, their eyes involuntarily showing a hint of disappointment.
She must be a student of this university.
No one had expected Professor Li Yuan to be greeting this girl; some even thought he had mistaken her for someone else.
Yun Ya nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Given the current setting, socializing was not appropriate; Professor Li returned to his seat, right beside Professor Wen Dehua.
Yun Zhan and Shan Feifei were seated in the second row. Yun Zhan, having caught sight of the girl in the last row, couldn’t help exclaiming, "Wow, a goddess."
Shan Feifei gave him a disdainful look and quickly resumed her note-taking, "Wipe off your drool, don’t disgust others."
Next came the time for other professors’ lectures. As the specialized lectures went on, Yun Ya felt herself growing drowsy. She propped her forehead with one hand and pulled out her phone to scroll through Weibo.
With the popularity of "The Most Beautiful Voice", Ming Han, Mai Zheng, and Kang Le had never left the trending list—their fame skyrocketing. Mai Zheng gained 8 million followers in merely three days, and Kang Le’s following increased by 5 million: a definite burst of stardom.
Ji Yunya’s name, following the end of the first episode, was frequently brought up, and the topic of being the number one socialite never left the charts.
Many netizens eagerly hoped for a reunion of star parents and their children from back then. Yun Ya was already well-known, and Shen Luokui had also gained some repute over the years. At the young age of sixteen, Shen Luokui, who followed in her father’s footsteps, is now a member of the national gymnastics team. She won the all-around silver medal at last year’s World Gymnastics Championships, and she is the balance beam champion—well-known to those who follow sports. Despite her small stature, her sweet appearance earned her the nickname "Gymnastics Princess" from the public.
The only one shrouded in mystery was the amateur child from those years, the shy and reticent little boy Yue Yi’an, who seemed even more low-key than Yun Ya. After the show ended, he had practically vanished without a trace, leaving not even a single life photo behind over the years.
The more mysterious, the more curious the netizens became. Using the scant clues from the show back then, they speculated that this child might also come from a wealthy family, but no one had heard of any prominent family surnamed Yue in Country Hua.
In the meantime, Kang Le frequently interacted with fans on Weibo. Due to her sweet and fresh looks, she was affectionately dubbed the "Oxygen Beauty" by her fans. A common sentiment among her followers was, "Our Lele is so beautiful, she could live off her looks, but she insists on relying on talent," making Kang Jinxian extremely proud, as if she really looked like a Heavenly Immortal.
Yun Ya’s eyes rested on Kang Le’s Weibo homepage, where her followers had now surpassed 6 million. Her quick rise to fame, along with the backing of Xinghuang, meant her future as a star was sure to be smooth sailing.
