Elder brother's garrison

So why did he contact me?

Out of politeness, and because she wasn't busy at the moment, Xiaobai accepted the talent scout's card and nodded to the man.

"Um... my surname is Lu."

"Ms. Lu, it's an honor to meet you!" The man smiled brightly and said to Xiaobai, "Ms. Lu, I was just on my way to the company when I saw you waiting at the traffic light. Your demeanor and appearance immediately struck me as a perfect fit for our company's artist development program. Are you a local? Do you have any intention of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry? Or how good are your singing and dancing skills?"

"You're here to ask me to be a star, huh?" Xiaobai said to the man.

"Haha, it's good that Miss Lu thinks that way!" the man continued. "With your temperament and looks, Miss Lu, I believe you have a talent for this kind of work!"

"I'm sorry, I think I'll pass." Xiaobai shook her head, glanced at the red light that was about to end, and smiled politely at the man. "I don't have that need. I have something to do later, so I'll go now."

After saying that, Xiaobai returned the business card to the man and turned to walk onto the zebra crossing.

The man stood there, stunned, watching Xiaobai's departing figure. Suddenly, he was jolted awake and quickly followed after her.

"Miss Lu, Miss Lu! Listen to me! Do you have any salary requirements? If so, rest assured, we offer very generous terms to our artists!" The man followed Xiaobai around, gesturing wildly as he persuaded her. "Miss Lu! Have you heard of Baihe? Li Xiaochui? Du Yi? They even co-starred in a movie recently, and it's been a huge hit! Actually, these are all artists cultivated by our company! Miss Lu, if you're willing to come with me to the company for an audition, I can get you some resources as quickly as possible! Trust me, I really think you're capable! There are very few girls like Miss Lu these days, with such outstanding looks and unique temperament! Oh! I know! You're worried I'm a bad person, aren't you? You can rest assured about that! Actually, I'm quite well-known in the industry. You can search my name on a search engine; there are pictures of me!"

The man had the air of someone who was completely unyielding and wouldn't back down if the other party didn't agree.

Along the way, the man's voice attracted the attention of passersby, who all turned to look at him.

After crossing the zebra crossing, Xiaobai stopped and looked at the man with a helpless expression.

The man stood expectantly beside Xiaobai, maintaining a polite distance, waiting for her reply.

“Sigh… I have no interest in showing my face in public…” Xiaobai said, then turned to the man and said, “How about this, give me your business card. I’ll think about it and get back to you when I’ve thought it through.”

"Ms. Lu! We can come to the company for an interview!"

"I still have things to do today." Xiaobai said, her eyes sparkling slightly. "Let's stop here for today. I'll get back to you."

The man clearly had more to say, but when he looked into Xiaobai's eyes, his excited expression suddenly froze, and he seemed to lose his composure for a moment.

After the man came to his senses, he looked at Xiaobai again, a hint of doubt unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

"Oh...oh?" The man scratched his head, looked around strangely, and then said to Xiaobai, "Since Miss Lu says so...then I won't bother you any longer today. Miss Lu, you must give me an answer after you've made up your mind!"

Xiaobai nodded silently, took the man's business card, and then watched him scratch his head and walk away down the street.

Only after the man disappeared from sight did Xiaobai breathe a sigh of relief and glance down at the business card in her hand.

Ugh……

Becoming a star...

The thing Xiaobai least wants to do in her life is become a celebrity.

Besides, if Xiaobai really wanted to be a star, she could have debuted back in Yuncheng and joined the most prestigious entertainment company in the industry, gaining access to almost the entire industry's resources... So why would she bother coming to Shenzhen to join another entertainment company?

Xiao Bai definitely won't become a celebrity.

However, if that talent scout keeps bothering Xiaobai, it will be quite troublesome for Xiaobai. In order to get the talent scout to leave quickly, Xiaobai had no choice but to use the Admiral Network on him.

The influence of the Admiral Network on humans is very poor, but as long as Xiaobai's contribution is too high, it is still possible to slightly guide the target's emotions.

Just now, Xiaobai used the Admiral Network to suppress the talent scout's excitement, which quickly dampened his enthusiasm. Once he lost interest, his desire for Xiaobai also decreased significantly. As long as there was a suitable reason, he wouldn't keep bothering Xiaobai.

The Admiral Network is really useful.

Xiao Bai shook his head, put away the business card, and walked towards the hospital.

What happened on the way was just a minor incident for Xiaobai, but even so, Xiaobai gradually realized that perhaps he should pay more attention to his influence now.

Xiaobai's face, even among admirals, is considered charming and adorable on par with ship girls.

They are cute as they are, but because the ship girls are all beautiful women, they don't stand out from the crowd.

However, the situation would be different in human society. Xiao Bai's face is comparable to that of a regular celebrity after being heavily edited. It's no exaggeration to say that he's one in a million.

With such a face, it's no wonder that a talent scout approached me.

Xiaobai touched her cheek, thought for a while, and walked into the nearby public women's restroom. She took out her winning baseball cap, put it on her head, folded it slightly to cover her face, and nodded at herself in the mirror.

Ok.

That would be much better.

Xiao Bai left the public women's restroom and headed towards the location of Shenzhen First People's Hospital.

The hospital where Nanxing's parents work is a proper, large hospital. When Xiaobai arrived, he saw that the hospital's buildings and floors were one after another, almost as big as half of a newbie town hall.

"It's so big."

Xiao Bai sighed.

Xiaobai is still very young this year, and she hasn't been to hospitals much. The few times she went before, it was usually to visit other patients or to have physical examinations or tests.

As I entered the hospital, the familiar smell of disinfectant filled the air.

Xiao Bai glanced at the nearby registration desk, then at the map in the lobby on the first floor, and got up to go upstairs.

Before leaving Nanxing Garrison, Nanxing told Xiaobai the location of her parents' hospital.

Nanxing's father is the chief physician of the Department of Deep-Sea Infectious Diseases. Normally, if you want to see him, you need to make an appointment with him during his working hours.

However, Xiaobai was just coming up to say hello, so she didn't need to go to such lengths; she could have just walked up directly.

The Deep-Sea Infectious Diseases Department, where Nanxing's father works, is located in a high-rise building of the hospital, which is quite close to the Infectious Diseases Department. Following the directions on the map, Xiaobai arrived at the corresponding location and saw a transparent glass door with five large characters pasted on it.

"Deep-Sea Infectious Diseases Department"

As the name suggests, this is a department used to diagnose and treat diseases related to deep-sea organisms.

Smaller cities generally do not have a deep-sea infectious disease department.

After all, analyzing deep-sea aura requires extremely advanced and precise instruments, and the user's skill in operating these instruments is also very high. In addition, deep-sea infection is still a major problem that has not been fully solved by mankind, so the number of doctors who have made great achievements in this field is extremely small.

Chapter 3368 Building Favorability

Shenzhen's medical standards are quite advanced.

Xiao Bai stared at the transparent glass door in front of her, thought for a while, then carefully pushed the door open and went inside.

The air in the Deep Sea Infectious Diseases Department was not much different from other parts of the hospital; it still smelled of disinfectant.

But as soon as Xiaobai stepped inside, she could clearly sense that there was an extremely subtle deep-sea scent floating in the seemingly ordinary air.

Oops.

Seriously...

Xiao Bai turned around and glanced at the glass door with considerable surprise.

"This concentration... um... never mind, it's too fine, even smaller than dust... it shouldn't have any effect on the human body." Xiaobai waved her hand in the air and then walked forward.

Xiao Bai walked down the white corridor, passing by one department after another.

Some departments are open, while others are closed.

Inside the open department, doctors in white coats sit, while outside on the benches, there are some emaciated patients.

These so-called patients are probably people who, through some unknown means, came into contact with the deep sea and inhaled a certain amount of deep-sea air, resulting in adverse effects on their health.

Judging from their attire and accents, these people didn't seem to be locals. Some looked like they hadn't slept for days, extremely exhausted and drowsy. Others were clutching various parts of their bodies, their expressions showing immense pain. Still others were clutching vomit bags, their minds clouded, occasionally running to a corner of the corridor to vomit...

They are probably people who came from all over the world for treatment after being infected by the aura of the deep sea.

The scent of the deep sea...

If this substance invades the human body, it can indeed cause a variety of problems. The symptoms of deep-sea aura infection vary depending on each person's specific situation.

Speaking of which... actually, the tourists that Xiaobai encountered on his way back to Nanxing Garrison last time, who went to play on dangerous beaches, might have ended up in the same situation if they had stayed on the beach for several days and nights.

As Xiaobai passed by the patients, he casually used the Admiral Network to check their physical condition.

Things are fine.

Although these patients appear to be on the verge of death, the concentration of deep-sea energy in their bodies is actually very, very low. This level of deep-sea infection cannot even be described as mild; it's merely superficial...

With the current level of human medical technology, it is not a major problem to deal with.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai felt slightly relieved and continued walking forward.

Nanxing's father's department was located at the very end of the corridor. When Xiaobai arrived, the door to Nanxing's father's department was closed, and there was no one on the benches in the corridor outside.

Xiao Bai stood in front of Nanxing's father's department for a while, then leaned in to listen.

Faint conversations could be heard coming from behind the door, along with the occasional sound of a woman crying.

Before Xiaobai could hear the conversation clearly, she quickly pulled her ears back, covered them, and sat back down on the bench.

Today wasn't actually Nanxing's father's workday. The reason he was here was most likely because he was called back... And the only thing that could call a chief physician back was probably that the hospital had received a patient that no one else could handle.

The patient that Nanxing's father is dealing with is probably not as simple as a superficial deep-sea infection.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai sighed softly.

Nanxing had told her not to disturb her parents during work hours, so Xiaobai could only sit on the bench and wait for the diagnosis inside to finish.

Little White waited quietly.

Ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

Thirty minutes passed.

An hour has passed...

The departments along the way had already seen five or six different patients, but the door to the department where Nanxing's father was located remained closed.

Xiao Bai and the others were sweating profusely.

Before I knew it, it was time to rest.

Patients left the corridor of the Deep-Sea Infectious Diseases Department one after another, and doctors in white coats from various departments walked out, rubbing their sore arms, and chatted with each other.

However, at this moment... Nanxing's father's office door was still tightly closed.

Just as Xiaobai was thinking that she would probably have to wait until nightfall, suddenly, her ears twitched and she heard a familiar voice coming from the nearby corridor.

Xiao Bai turned his head and saw a mature woman in a white coat, with a beautiful and aloof appearance, walking towards the entrance of the Deep Sea Infectious Disease Department, carrying documents. She passed by each department and handed the documents in.

"Dr. Huang, did you submit your work summary from last time? You seem to have forgotten about it."

"Dr. Li, this is the material report for the instrument you requested approval for last time. Please remember to reply after you have read it."

"Dr. Wang, there's a meeting this afternoon. Could you attend it for Dr. Nan? I'll have Dr. Nan cover for you for a day later. How about we schedule it for your daughter's college entrance celebration banquet?"

"Oh, by the way, about that patient from last time..."

"..."

The mature woman distributed documents and chatted with the doctors present.

For a moment, the doctors thanked the woman in front of them.

"Thank you, Secretary General."

"Thank you for your help, Secretary General."

"Dr. Nan isn't finished yet, Secretary-General, you've worked hard too..."

"..."

Xiao Bai squatted on the bench, cautiously glancing at the woman's profile.

This person... judging from her appearance, seems to be Nanxing's mother... but... the Nanxing's mother at this moment is not quite the same as the Nanxing's mother in Xiaobai's memory.

In Xiaobai's memory, Nanxing's mother was gentle and playful, as mischievous and lively as a young girl, which perfectly matched the image of a ship girl.

But at this moment, Nanxing's mother's expression was exceptionally capable and mature when she was communicating with others. Even her style of dress was completely different from before, as if she had become a different person.

Is this what they call... work mode?

It seemed that Xiaobai had been observing for too long. Nanxing's mother, who was communicating with the doctors, seemed to sense something and subconsciously turned her gaze to the bench where Xiaobai was.

The moment Nanxing's mother saw Xiaobai on the bench, she visibly froze, her mature and capable expression momentarily revealing a look of surprise and astonishment.

"Ok?"

"Auntie... Good afternoon..." Xiaobai waved shyly to Nanxing's mother.

“Eh…isn’t this Lu…” Nanxing’s mother opened her mouth, then suddenly glanced at the doctors around her.

"Secretary-General, is this someone you know?" the doctors asked, looking at Xiaobai.
