Chapter 63: The Unexpected End

  It wasn't just Sun Le who was startled, Huang Bo and the others were also watching with bated breath. Fortunately, as they saw the silver needle pierce Sun Le's throat, they didn't see any signs of discomfort on his face. Moreover, looking at Han Ankang's expression, it didn't seem like he was intentionally trying to murder him. So the group didn't dare disturb Han Ankang, who was still administering the injection.

  Wait until Han Ankang withdrew the silver needle, and with a confident and calm expression, he said: "Sister Sun, try to feel your throat now. See if it will feel better?"

  As soon as this was said, Sun Le's mind began to wonder if the therapeutic effect of the silver needle should be so remarkable?

  Sun Le hummed a few notes, testing his vocal cords, and soon discovered that the sore throat he had earlier was no longer painful. This also meant that the medical skills of this young man were quite impressive and confident, not to mention daring enough to easily inject needles into someone's throat.

  Before Sun Le spoke, Han Ankang smiled and explained: "Everyone may think that the throat is weak and acupuncture is very dangerous. In fact, a Chinese doctor who can accurately identify the acupoints knows what points can be pierced and what points cannot be pierced. Moreover, different acupoints have different lengths of silver needles entering the body. The needling technique I just used is not something an ordinary Chinese medicine practitioner can do."

  Of course, this is not to say that my medical skills are better than others, but I want to tell everyone that I am a responsible Chinese medicine practitioner. If I'm not sure about something, I won't casually give someone an injection. Because acupuncture is a technique where one wrong move can easily lead to trouble. But for a Chinese medicine practitioner who has mastered the art of acupuncture, it's as simple as eating a meal.

  "I was worried that Sun Jie would be frightened and move around when getting the injection, so I did it quickly. If I did it wrong, I can apologize to you."

  He had already felt the pain in his throat disappear, and Sun Le hurriedly smiled and said: "It's nothing, you're very considerate. If you told me to get an injection in my throat, I would definitely be scared. But your movements are really fast, I didn't even feel any pain, and several silver needles were already inserted into my throat."

  I was so scared that I didn't dare move, but this injection is really effective. Now my throat doesn't hurt much anymore. Is this good or what?

  Han Ankang shook his head and said, "The few injections just now were only to control the pain caused by the inflammation. In fact, the inflammation has not disappeared. If my diagnosis is correct, Sister Sun's throat may have felt uncomfortable for some time? Two days ago, she suddenly caught a cold and got wind-chill, which made her already unwell throat even more injured, resulting in her loud voice and sore throat."

  If you want to thoroughly cure it, I'll give you a prescription. After you finish recording the show and go back, find a reputable Chinese medicine store, prepare all the Chinese medicines on the prescription, and then decoct one dose into a small half bowl. Drink it continuously for three days, and I believe your throat won't have any problems anymore.

  Moreover, I've added several traditional Chinese medicines that treat the common cold to the prescription. If you take them together, I believe you won't have to worry about spending Chinese New Year with this illness!

  While talking, Han Ankang took out a note from Song Qian's bag and quickly wrote down the prescription. At the same time, some precautions during decoction and things to avoid during medication were also recorded in detail. When Sun Le saw this prescription, he felt that even if he didn't mention Han Ankang's medical skills, his handwriting was indeed good.

  After thanking Han Ankang, Sun Le also asked Han Ankang for his phone number and thanked him again for his help today, which allowed her to avoid working while sick. This favor was now owed to him. As for Huang Bo, after seeing Han Ankang's medical skills earlier, he thought about their previous conversation and felt that Han Ankang was worth befriending, so they exchanged contact information in a very straightforward manner.

  Compared to the two, this time they gave Han Ankang their personal contact information. Usually, when they leave phone numbers for others, they are mostly assistants or brokers' phone numbers. Being able to get their private contact information is enough to prove that they still have a very good impression of Han Ankang.

  Just as Sun Le was treating her sore throat, her assistant walked in with a worried face and said: "Sister Sun, is your throat feeling any better? The director said that the recording effect wasn't very good just now, it might not pass. If it really doesn't work, why don't we just stop recording? Your throat is already like this, they're not unaware of it, yet they keep making you record again and again, isn't that aggravating your condition?"

  Upon hearing the assistant's complaints, Sun Le also realized that her performance in the recording just now was not good enough. Although she had tried her best, the effect was indeed not satisfactory. Some of the notes were off-key because her throat hurt too much. If this kind of recording effect is released, it will make people think that she didn't try hard enough and also feel that the TV station is being too careless.

  Fortunately, she now feels very comfortable with her throat. Sun Le smiled and said: "It's okay, since the effect is not up to standard, I'll record it again. Just now when you weren't here, thanks to Bo Ai inviting this Korean doctor to treat me, I no longer feel pain when speaking. You go and greet the accompanying dancers first, let them work hard a bit more, I will try to pass this last recording."

  When Sun Le spoke, his voice was no longer as hoarse as before, and judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to have lost the painful feeling of before. The assistant couldn't help but thank Huang Jian and Han Ankang.

  After learning that the assistant rushed to greet those accompanying dancers, Sun Le also reappeared on the scene of the program recording. Due to previous illness, Han Ankang rarely became an audience member and experienced the Spring Festival Gala recording of this local TV station in advance.

  As for the five girls who also wanted to come and watch the recording, they also received a notice at this moment that Sun Le's program recording had ended, which was when they recorded their own program. Therefore, they naturally couldn't have the opportunity like Han Ankang to sit in the audience seats and watch the live recording of Qingdao Spring Festival Gala this year.

  After everything was ready, with the director's voice to start, the two hosts walked up to the stage and said a few festive words before reporting the curtain to let Sun Le come out for the formal performance.

  Looking at Sun Le, who is nearly forty years old, this time he recorded a relatively dynamic song. Han Ankang also sighed that being a star is not an easy job to do. If it wasn't for the previous treatment of Sun Le's throat, such performances that require physical and vocal exertion would undoubtedly exacerbate his illness.

  When Sun Le's performance ended, the director who had been watching the recording effect all along said with a smile: "Good, this time's recording effect is okay. Let the next group of guests prepare!"

  Standing beside the director, Sun Le's assistant heard the director say that it was okay and let out a long sigh of relief. When Sun Le came from backstage, took a look at the recording effect which was very good, and also heard the director nodding in approval, he thanked Han Ankang again.

  Learning that Han Ankang was going to watch Song Qian's performance, Sun Le didn't say much. After indicating that he would invite Han Ankang for dinner next time, he quickly left the TV station with his assistant team. For these domestic stars, Spring Festival is undoubtedly the busiest group of people.

  Not long after, when the director called out Song Qian's name, Song Qian led four girls who had changed into beautiful costumes to the front of the stage. Having already read the script, they also passed through smoothly. At the same time, since they were going to perform two songs this time, in the middle, there was an interview with the host and a message from Song Qian on behalf of the group to their hometown people.

  After these ended, after the host announced their second song, Song Qian and others quickly returned to the back stage to change clothes again. Appearing on the stage again, they sang a dynamic song that tested physical strength and singing skills. Han Ankang, who kept staring at the director, saw that the director didn't interrupt Song Qian's performance, thought it was almost passable.

  However, after Song Qian and others left, the director watched the performance just now and seemed to have no problem with the first song. But in the second dance song, he raised several questions with Song Qian's agent and assistant standing beside him.

  Most of them were dancing at the time, and some team members deviated from the camera's line of sight. Therefore, this means that when re-shooting later, pay attention to these issues.

  Upon learning that the first take didn't pass, Song Qian and others didn't have much to complain about. After turning off the camera, the girls came back on stage to take a look and felt there was no problem, then signaled that they could proceed with the second recording.

  Fortunately, the problem with their recording was not big, and knowing that they needed to pay attention to certain things during the recording of the program earlier, the girls all intentionally controlled their steps and distance while dancing. This kind of scramble for camera time was nothing new to them. Therefore, after the second round of recording ended, the director nodded in approval and indicated that it was passable.

  When they heard the second recording was a pass, Song Qian and others were undoubtedly very happy. As for Han Ankang who also returned to the backstage, seeing that several girls all seemed to be breathing rapidly, he knew that this kind of program's recording wasn't easy at all. When he heard Song Qian say that passing in two recordings was already a high efficiency, they used to repeat dozens of times when recording an album in South Korea before.

  It's hard to succeed without putting in the effort. Han Ankang didn't say much and prepared to follow Song Qian and others back to the hotel.

  Just as they were packing up in the background to leave, Xue Li, who was accompanying Zheng Xiujing to the bathroom, rushed into the room with a flustered face and said: "Song Mama, Han OPPA, Little Crystal just got blocked by a crazy fan at the bathroom door. You guys hurry over and take a look!"

  Die-hard fan? What does this mean?
