Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Gathering of Big Shots! She has the Medical Beauty Bracelet, overshadowing Zuzi!
Gu Shiyin hadn’t even had time to make sense of it.
Another car stopped at the door.
An energetic old man with a bushy beard stepped out of the car, striding into the Gu Mansion as if he were in a hurry.
"Director Ma Xiaogang?!" Gu Shiyin was even more surprised.
She had asked someone to reach out to Director Ma Xiaogang for Gu Pinting’s audition, hoping to get into the crew with funding, aiming for the role of Nuwa which was bound to be a hit.
Was Director Ma giving her this much face by personally coming to her house?
The feelings of surprise hadn’t yet settled.
Another shocking scene unfolded.
"Dean Huangfu? Dean Tang? Dean Pei? Dean Chu?"
The four renowned academic figures on par with Feng Tang from Imperial University—a titan in the classical music world, a founding figure of the Foreign Languages College, a leading personality in the Mathematics College, and the foremost expert in both Western and Chinese medicine—all here?
These four were the best in their fields, famous for not kowtowing to power, never showing up to curry favor or celebrate birthdays for any family, and yet they were all attending this birthday banquet at the Gu Mansion?
Could it be...
Her mentor, Dean Chu, suggested this?
After all, her primary specialization was in the Medical College, and she was one of the Ph.D. students under Dean Chu.
Gu Shiyin was receiving guests with great prestige.
She followed her mentors, thoughtfully accompanying them into the guest lounge for tea, instructing servants to quickly add tables and chairs, and telling the kitchen to prepare more dishes.
After a moment of busy work, she came out.
And froze!
There were two more heavyweight guests in the guest lounge—her esteemed design mentor, Lin Suyu, and Imperial Royal College’s Principal Zhou!
She could understand why the former came, given their close relationship, but Principal Zhou of the Royal College, with whom there was ordinarily no interaction... Could it be that he’d heard in advance about her niece Gu Pinting’s excellent college entrance exam results and came to recruit her?
Gu Shiyin immediately walked to the side and made a call: "Pinting, are you in your room? I have good news for you: tonight’s guests are very important for you. Dress up well. Director Ma Xiaogang and Teacher Lin will be extremely helpful for your acting career, and the big shots from the two top universities, Imperial University and the Royal Academy, will have decisive influence on your college application... No need to say more, you know what to do. You must make a great first impression."
"Thank you, Aunt, you really are my dearest aunt, Mua!"
Gu Pinting was thrilled to hear the news.
She was in her room touching up her makeup.
She gently caressed the emerald jade bracelet on her wrist.
The swirling threads within the bracelet seemed to wave at her, invitingly and seductively.
This wasn’t an ordinary bracelet.
The moment she accidentally found this bracelet when she was twelve, she discovered its secret—known to no one.
This bracelet had powerful medical beauty functions.
She could wish for her nose to become taller and shapelier, her skin to become fairer, her lips redder, her gaze more alluring, her figure more graceful...
The cost was minimal, needing only a drop of blood each time for sustenance.
This was the secret to her growing beauty, becoming the little beauty of the Gu Family, making waves at school.
Today’s moment of being outshone by Zuzi at the mall was just because she hadn’t dressed up well when she went out and didn’t have a chance to drip blood to use the Medical Beauty Bracelet.
Otherwise, she would have easily outshone Zuzi!
Thankfully, Aunt’s words awakened her. Tonight, she would use the charm of the Medical Beauty Bracelet to enchant those big shots, making them scramble to take her as a student!
Gu Pinting took a needle, pricked her fingertip, and let a drop of thick red blood drip onto the Medical Beauty Bracelet.
The droplet vanished the moment it touched the bracelet.
Then.
The face of the girl in the mirror visibly turned more radiant!
