This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

The arrogance of the young internet star completely angered the elderly security guard, who yelled and grabbed the internet star’s collar, trying to drive him out of the Outpatient Hall.

The young internet star didn’t back down, fighting back with words and struggling physically with the security guard.

This area was crowded with security guards. Seeing one of their colleagues engaged, those who could no longer stand by all jumped in to help.

Amidst tearing and kicking, the young internet star was forced to retreat by the group of security guards.

Besides stirring up trouble to draw attention, the most important characteristic of internet stars was their shamelessness. Only by being shameless could they make money, because they were not traditional talent show hosts.

The young internet star had fully grasped this, and seeing he was outmatched, he immediately started yelling, ”Security is hitting people! Security cursed hosts, calling them all beggars!”

The loud shouting instantly attracted other internet stars from different locations.

These internet stars could all be considered vulgar live broadcast hosts.

They would flock to any hot topic; if there were no hot topics, they would create their own using vulgar stunts to attract attention. They had no sense of propriety or moral restraint; otherwise, they wouldn’t be conducting a live broadcast in a hospital, trying to capitalize on a cancer patient’s situation.

Even if the patient were a celebrity, individuals with any moral restraint wouldn’t so brazenly try to capitalize on her situation like this.

Now, hearing themselves insulted and seeing the internet star scuffling with the security guard, they instantly found a reason to intervene. They no longer hesitated as before, when they could only watch as their fellow hosts were thrown out because they knew they were in the wrong.

With a group of shameless people joining in, the scene instantly became chaotic.

However, the security guards, equipped with tools and benefiting from their home-field advantage, maintained the upper hand, forcing the crowd of internet stars to fall back.

The internet stars at the front were pushed back by tools like rubber batons, but those behind them refused to yield, shoving the ones in front to surge forward.

This counter-push from the internet stars enraged the security guards. Even the security restraining forks, which they had been holding but hadn’t yet used, were finally brought into play, forcefully pushing the internet stars back.

The use of the security forks made the internet stars retreat rapidly. However, they failed to notice that behind them was a woman in a wheelchair, watching the surging crowd in horror.

Before the woman could react, she was knocked over by the retreating mob.

The last internet stars to fall back were tripped by the suddenly appearing wheelchair. Several of them stumbled, and two even fell directly onto the woman.

Instantly, the woman’s terrified scream echoed through the Outpatient Hall.

Lu Guangying and the Secretary were very reluctant to take on Du Heng’s assignment. However, since Du Heng was the top leader, they couldn’t refuse and begrudgingly accepted.

But they had no experience handling such matters, so when arranging interviews, they chose a few reporters from established media organizations. As for those internet stars who looked unsavory at first glance, they subconsciously ignored them.

Their choice was both right and wrong.

It was right because the reporters from established organizations weren’t there for any celebrity; they were interested because the news report claimed that the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital could treat cervical cancer without surgery.

This reminded them of the controversy surrounding a lung cancer treatment around the same time last year.

At that time, only the Jinzhou Evening News had made a fuss, and with no follow-up reports, they had dismissed it as someone paying for an advertisement.

Modern print newspapers had largely become platforms for bulk advertising, so such ads for ”Divine Doctors” were not uncommon to them.

They hadn’t expected Jinzhou to suddenly produce another traditional Chinese medicine practitioner capable of treating cancer this year. This piqued their interest.

Naturally, interest led to investigation and some preliminary interview research.

To their surprise, they discovered that the doctor reported to have treated lung cancer last year was the same person involved this time. Moreover, he had already advanced from a county-level Health Clinic to a second-level hospital like the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

This discovery intensified their interest even further.

Consequently, Lu Guangying’s negotiations with these reporters went very smoothly.

However, both he and the Secretary had forgotten, or perhaps overlooked, that society was now in an internet age. The influence and reach of traditional news media had long since been greatly diminished in this era.

Now, only a few of the largest traditional media outlets still held any significant public recognition.

Furthermore, they had also disregarded a crucial point: the caliber of these internet practitioners was something that they, as intellectuals and members of the middle class, found unacceptable.

The scene unfolding in the Outpatient Hall now thoroughly upended their worldview.

They could never have imagined that in contemporary society, people would actually cause disturbances in a hospital, especially in such a manner.

Lu Guangying and the Secretary’s perception was completely shattered and reconstructed, giving them a new, stark understanding of the internet.

Yet, just as Lu Guangying and the Secretary were grappling with this new reality, the reporters from Jinzhou TV Station and Longzhong TV Station sprang into action.

”Quick, turn on the camera!”

”Dear viewers, I’m a reporter from Jinzhou Near Distance, reporting live from the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital...”

”Covering local events and bringing you the news as it happens, I’m XX, a reporter from the Provincial TV Station...”
