University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Under the camera.

Chen Mu rarely looked this serious.

Su Bingbing raised an eyebrow, "Actually, I have a few friends who are currently out of work and want to hold some events at Hai City University, for free."

For free?

Upon hearing these three words,

Chen Mu instinctively frowned.

He’s the type who firmly believes.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Chen Mu: "Is there anything at the university that might attract them?"

Su Bingbing nodded with a smile and then said, "Attention."

Under Chen Mu’s still somewhat cautious gaze,

she seriously explained, "For many entertainers, without attention and visibility, it’s actually very difficult to get new jobs and make money in this industry."

"These friends of mine have decent professional skills, but their fame is relatively low."

"They’re coming to Hai City University to help out for free because the university garners enough social attention. Perhaps after helping once for free, they might land some new gigs, who knows?"

"Even though they might not earn any money coming here, at least there’s hope for them."

Su Bingbing spoke sincerely enough.

Even for the initially wary Chen Mu,

at this moment,

listening to what Su Bingbing said, it wasn’t easy to keep rejecting.

So he had to speak again, "It’s worth a try, but..."

"What kind of performances do they do in the entertainment industry?"

Su Bingbing responded with a charming smile, "Stand-up comedy!"

—

"Wow, suddenly I feel my wife is really smart!"

"With lectures, the content might be too profound or boring for the audience, but stand-up comedy is different. It’s the most down-to-earth!"

"A good stand-up comedian can hold the stage alone. I truly think my wife’s suggestion is highly feasible!"

"But the issue is, how is it possible that a good stand-up comedian can’t get a job?"

"Originally, everyone had jobs, but have you forgotten? Recently, a stand-up comedian got into trouble, causing others in the industry to temporarily not receive new gigs..."

"Looking at it this way, my wife is indeed kind-hearted, not forgetting to lend a hand to friends in times like these."

"Exactly! Helping someone in dire straits is the hardest!"

"..."

—

Seeing Chen Mu a bit surprised, even moved,

Su Bingbing seized the moment, "So, Dr. Chen, will you consider my suggestion?"

"I assure you, those stand-up comedian friends of mine are quite talented."

"If Hai City University is interested, I can have them draft a couple of scripts. As long as you give the nod, they are ready to fly over at any time."

Realizing that all this could indeed benefit the other side,

Chen Mu thoughtfully considered for a moment before speaking, "Reporter Su, I’m just a school doctor."

"How about this: I’ll send your suggestion to Secretary Lu on WeChat later."

"If Secretary Lu finds it feasible, or if no other school leaders object, then it’s worth a try."

"Of course."

"From my personal perspective, I think Reporter Su just gave a very interesting suggestion."

Su Bingbing: "Tsk!"

Looking at Chen Mu with an indescribable hint of disdain.

Su Bingbing: "Dr. Chen, after all this time working together, surely we don’t need to speak so formally!"

Chen Mu: "Oh."

Oh what.

Listening to Chen Mu’s perfunctory tone,

Su Bingbing felt like rolling her eyes.

Yet, inexplicably...

A voice in her head reminded her.

She was still a female celebrity, under the live broadcast camera, and needed to maintain her image!

Taking a deep breath.

Straining to,

calm her emotions.

Su Bingbing looked at the man in front of her and spoke again, "Dr. Chen, let me contact Secretary Lu directly then."

Under Chen Mu’s questioning gaze.

Su Bingbing: "Before the principal was taken to the ICU, he was the one responsible for liaising with our program group."

"After he was admitted to the ICU, Secretary Lu took over. Our program team has Secretary Lu’s contact information."

Chen Mu was all for it: "Great, then contact the Secretary directly!"

In the meantime,

it would no longer be his concern.

He would even welcome the break.

"Dr. Chen, there’s a new patient downstairs with severe external injuries, looks like he was beaten."

"The intern doctors repeatedly asked the patient who did this and if he needed police intervention, but the patient refused each time."

"Do you want to take a look?"

Mu Yao put down the phone she was using to chat with her alumni.

With a serious expression, she looked at Chen Mu.

Hearing what Mu Yao said,

in an instant,

the expression on Chen Mu’s face involuntarily turned serious.

At Hai City University,

a student being beaten but not daring to disclose the perpetrator,

this was already a very serious issue.

Chen Mu almost immediately stood up, "I’ll head down and take a look."

But just as he walked out of the infirmary,

Chen Mu turned back, glancing at the live-stream camera that had been instinctively left behind, "Please, you stay upstairs for now. If the content is appropriate for broadcasting, I’ll have Dr. Mu let you know, okay?"

Chen Mu spoke,

and the cameraman naturally wouldn’t refuse.

But staying behind.

Inside the room,

there was just him with the camera and Mu Yao silently reading a medical book.

Cameraman: "..."

It’s okay to have no program effect.

But with the atmosphere this awkward, wouldn’t he get fired by the production team?

—

"The first second Dr. Chen left, I missed him!"

"If shooting the patient isn’t suitable, can’t the cameraman go to my wife? Surely there’s program effect with her contacting stand-up comedians!"

"Dr. Mu is truly... I thought she’d be resting because of her injured hand and lack of work, but she’s diligently studying instead?!"

"The medical profession requires lifelong learning."

"When I first started in clinical practice, it was also like this, trying to memorize every book, afraid of making mistakes or not being able to answer patients’ questions."

"True, facing a human life, even if inexperienced, one must be conscientious."

"Doctors who can go on rounds can usually handle most common illnesses; for real complex cases, they’d seek help from their mentors or department experts."

"I can testify. I once had a specialist appointment, and a young doctor came in and took away my specialist..."

"Wow! Specialists can be taken away!!"

"Apparently, it’s about prioritizing urgency. Someone over there was near death, so they called the expert over for emergency aid."

"..."

—

Chen Mu had just reached the first floor.

Suddenly he heard a series of tumbling sounds from behind.

Curiously turning around,

he saw Mu Yao, along with the cameraman, stumbling down the stairs.

Running down while loudly shouting, "Dr. Chen! Don’t check on the observation room one anymore; that injury isn’t serious. Hurry to Dormitory 1, something bad might happen there!!"

Chen Mu: "!!!"

He hadn’t even asked what was happening,

when he joined Mu Yao in rushing to the school ambulance parked at the entrance.

"To Dormitory 1, please!"

"Hurry!"

As the school ambulance slowly drove out,

Chen Mu turned his gaze to Mu Yao beside him, "Dr. Mu, could you explain more clearly what happened over at Dormitory 1?"

"Why is it life-threatening?"

"Is it smoke inhalation, or what..."

While Chen Mu was still guessing,

Mu Yao said something shocking, "A thin-skinned university student bought acupuncture needles and a Chinese medicine book and attempted acupuncture in the dorm room, then suddenly passed out."

Mu Yao added, "The person who called the school hospital for help was the patient’s roommate."

"The patient’s roommate said he’s now unconscious."

Chen Mu: "!!!"
