Chapter 68: Reporters sigh as interviews are difficult

Big news! Exclusive!

The reporter's eyes lit up. She naturally noticed that something was wrong with the people who had been interviewed earlier after they saw this man of unknown origin. There must be some entanglement between them.

"Excuse me, who are you..." she asked Ye Xuan tentatively, unable to conceal her excitement.

Ye Xing raised his hand and pointed at the patient and said, "He is just an unknown Chinese medicine doctor, but he happens to be the attending physician of the infected person."

This answer was beyond her expectations. She had thought that what she had thought was an interview about the progress of the treatment at the Linshi Institute had turned into a drama of fighting for the patient! If what this person said was true, and the patient was really treated by him but was intercepted by the old dean and his men...

Should this report be placed in the medical section or the entertainment section?

"Nonsense!" The old dean finally gave the uninvited guest a look. His old voice carried a sense of majesty. Even though he knew clearly who was talking nonsense, he couldn't help but be stunned.

As expected, he has reached his current position through connections and seniority, and he is quite good at pretending.

"Yes!" Old Xu saw that the old dean had spoken, so he couldn't keep silent any longer after holding it in for a long time. "Who knows who this person is? He stole our information last time, and this time he wants to take the credit for curing the patient for himself?"

This distortion of right and wrong made Ye Xuan feel helpless, but the reporter would not believe the other party's one-sided statement, and he still had a backup plan.

"Oh? Is that so?" The reporter pointed the microphone at Ye Xuan, "What is your name?"

"The name is not important. If I must call it that -" He thought for a moment, "Chinese medicine doctor will do. I am the only Chinese medicine doctor here."

"Is Chinese medicine so great?" Old Xu just couldn't stand the other person's proud look. In his opinion, Chinese medicine was something backward that should have been eliminated by the times long ago. Their research institute was at the forefront of medical technology.

"Is it a big deal to look down on traditional Chinese medicine?" Even in front of reporters, Ye Xing would not tolerate this and directly retorted.

"Um..." The reporter looked at the two people who were arguing with each other and felt that he was being ignored. "Mr. TCM, do you have anything to say about Mr. Xu's accusation that you stole the research institute's information?"

Ye Xing took the microphone and tried to turn the tables: "Then he made a mistake. First of all, the information was not theirs in the first place. I just helped a junior to 'get' it back. There was no such thing as 'stealing'."

"Okay, okay, please continue." The reporter no longer had the microphone in his hand, but fortunately he was still wearing a microphone, so his hands were free to record.

She quickly wrote down the key points of Ye Xuan's words in her notebook, and once again lamented why her colleagues were reluctant to come to the hospital. Wouldn't it be great to fight for the news?

It's hard for one person to conduct an interview.

"These materials all belong to Xiao Qin - the former director Qin of this city's research institute, the young genius reported by the media." Ye Xing got angry again when he said this, "The Linshi Research Institute has no intention of following Xiao Qin's research direction. In their hands, the materials will eventually be discarded. But those are Xiao Qin's hard work, I won't allow them to trample on them!"

"Genius Qin?" The reporter didn't expect that this news had such a hot topic. This year's promotion and salary increase might all depend on this report.

This is a key figure who affects the safety of the entire city. There was a rumor from the city’s research institute before that Qin followed a Chinese medicine doctor. Could it be the person in front of her?

What a surprise! She likes this gift!

"That's right," Ye Xuan nodded, "As everyone knows, the project that Linshi Research Institute took over in our city was originally Qin's. There is no problem with the data transfer, but they don't trust Qin's data. I'm just helping the real owner of the data to get it back."

The project was officially handed over after Xiao Qin left. At that time, Xiao Qin no longer had any say, and the research institute would not easily return the information to him.

"Did both parties discuss this aspect when the project was handed over? Or is it just a 'common practice'?" The reporter's mind turned, and neither research institute had an explicit stipulation that all materials must be packed up and sent away after the project was transferred.

Old Xu certainly couldn't let the old dean have to speak in person on such a small matter, so he took the microphone from Ye Xing's hand while he was not paying attention: "Of course it was agreed upon. They said that it would be handed over to us 'completely'. Do you know what 'completely' means? That means not a single page can be left out."

That would have been enough. Old Xu felt that he had not said enough, so he added: "But you, the Chinese medicine doctor, are right. We really don't think highly of the information about that 'genius Qin'. Good medicines have become poisons in his hands. What do you think he can accomplish? Don't mislead others."

After hearing these words, Ye Xuan was so angry that he couldn't refute the other party.

Yes, according to current public opinion, Xiao Qin is such a failure in their eyes.

But he knew it wasn't true! Xiao Qin was a very hard-working and motivated child. Even though he was extremely talented, he was willing to learn with an open mind.

Ye Xing had no idea how much Xiao Qin outside the door had heard. He regretted very much why he gave that man the chance to say those words!

He was angry, and even though he knew it was just a plot setting in the game, he was still genuinely angry.

"I don't allow you to say that about him," Ye Xing and Old Xu stared at each other, anger flickering in their eyes, "You keep saying that Chinese medicine is inferior to you, and that Xiao Qin's talent is useless, but you still can't surpass his achievements!"

Ye Xing raised his finger and pointed at Old Xu, saying sternly: "Have you ever had any research results of your own? Do you know how difficult it was for Xiao Qin to reach that position at such a young age with his own strength?"

He ignored the reporters who tried to stop him and stared at Old Xu: "You think you are worthy of saying bad things about Xiao Qin?!"

"Shut up!" The old dean knocked the ground hard with his crutch, and Old Xu didn't dare to say a word.

Ye Xuan had just vented his emotions and didn't want to say much. He just looked at the old dean coldly.

The old dean glanced at Old Xu and motioned for him to pass the microphone to him.

As soon as Lao Xu received the order, he immediately respectfully handed over the microphone with both hands, as if it was the king's scepter and that with it he had absolute right to speak.

Ye Xuan was speechless, but he wanted to see what the old dean could say. After all, he was just a small Chinese medicine practitioner in an unknown clinic, but the old dean was a well-known figure.

It must have been very embarrassing to have such a scene during the interview with the reporter.

Sure enough, the old dean said what Ye Xing had expected as soon as he opened his mouth: "Today is a gathering of reporters specifically to report on our treatment results. This is not a place for you to mess around!"

"Huh? Your treatment results? That's not a bad thing to say." Ye Xuan deliberately put on a surprised expression, "No, who are you? Why can you say such shameless words after kidnapping my patient? Or is this the usual style of the Linshi Research Institute?"

His tone was quite amusing, which made the reporter burst out laughing.

Old Xu also heard that the words were a curse on him, but because of the old dean, he couldn't argue with him anymore.

"Um..." the reporter asked tentatively, "Who is the patient? Can't we ask him himself?"

This patient is really like a hostage with no chance to speak at all.

"I, I?" The patient looked at the spare microphone handed to him by the reporter, with an unconcealable panic on his face.

Are you kidding? On one side is a kidnapper, and on the other side is an injection addict. He can't offend either side. Isn't this asking for his death?

Faced with this fatal choice, he held the microphone with both hands but said nothing.

No one would be willing to answer such a life-threatening question.

Uh, you tell me.

The reporter was too embarrassed to press the question directly, and tapped his pen on his notebook a few times, but still received no answer.

The patient looked up at the other people. Xiao Ma was wandering around the whole time and the old dean had a gloomy expression.

Old Xu glared at him, as if suggesting that he should tell the reporter as agreed before, but he had never said before that the Chinese doctor would come.

The Chinese doctor kept looking at him very seriously. He probably had never looked at him like that before when he was receiving treatment, which made him even more frightened.

"I, I don't know this Chinese doctor..." The patient remembered what Lao Xu had told him and spoke softly into the microphone.

"Really?" The reporter did not believe it immediately. She believed more in what she saw with her own eyes.

As soon as the Chinese medicine doctor walked in, she noticed that the expressions of the people in the room had changed, especially the patient. He looked like he was very afraid of this person, which was completely different from what he said, "I don't know him."

They must know each other, and the Chinese medicine doctor may have left some psychological trauma on this person. As a reporter, she has her own way of judging people, especially the relationships between people, and she can always grasp them accurately.

"I, I really don't know anything!" The patient lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone. He could already recall the feeling of being pricked by the needle. In fact, it was more fear than pain.

That's acupuncture. If you don't get the needle right, it could be fatal, right?

"But judging from your reaction, you don't seem to be unfamiliar with the Chinese medicine doctor." The reporter wrote a few more notes in the notebook. "Can you tell me in detail? Where does your fear come from?"

Her words hit the patient's pain point directly.

"Hey, hey, he's already said he doesn't recognize him, why are you still holding on to him?" Old Xu couldn't hold it in any longer, "This Chinese medicine doctor is very strange. Besides, the fifth floor of this hospital's inpatient department is now full of people from our institute. How did he get in like this? Such a suspicious person should be handed over to the police. There's no need to interview him."

The reporter swallowed the words "Are you teaching me how to do things?" that were about to come out of his mouth and tightened his expression.

This interviewee is really difficult to deal with, and this time there is no colleague to help smooth things over, so it is difficult to continue.

Four plus one interviewee, one never says a word, one dares not speak, what else can she interview?

The remaining three were even more difficult to deal with, and the difficulty of the interview was probably the highest she had ever experienced in her career.

It's hard to be a reporter.
