Social Death Patient 043

Since Zhuo Yongde had a plan in mind, Hua Xin was not so anxious anymore.

But she still crossed her arms and looked down at Zhuo Yongde, reminding him, "You must not be careless. The young people in your station can take her pulse casually, but you can't. You must have some understanding of your own condition."

Zhuo Yongde couldn't stand her pretentiousness. What qualifications did she have to tell him what to do in front of him?

Zhuo Yongde ignored her and continued to sip his tea.

"Zhuo Yongde!" Hua Xin frowned and called him, "Don't think I want to see you so much. If it weren't for Zhuo Qi, I wouldn't be here today. You have to remember that you are Zhuo Qi's father. You have to hand over all the resources and connections in your hands to Zhuo Qi. No accidents can happen."

Their divorce is one thing, but the blood relationship between Zhuo Qi and Zhuo Yongde will not change. As long as something happens to Zhuo Yongde, it will be difficult for Zhuo Qi to remain unaffected.

"When we divorced, didn't you say that Zhuo Qi was your daughter? What? After all these years, you haven't been able to deal with Yan Yushan, and now you know you have no hope, so you think of me again?" Zhuo Yongde said sarcastically after taking a sip of tea.

He had long known about Hua Xin's wishful thinking. When Hua Xin was drunk, she mistook him for Yan Yushan. At that time, he thought Hua Xin had a good figure and face. Anyway, she came to him on her own initiative, so he would not suffer any loss, so he did not reject her.

Unexpectedly, Hua Xin became pregnant after that time. Based on the idea that his son should not have someone else's surname, Zhuo Yongde married Hua Xin.

Hua Xin's mind is not on him, and he has no feelings for Hua Xin. He just hopes that Hua Xin can give him a son.

The result is obvious, he did not wait for his son.

So when they divorced, he did not compete with Hua Xin for custody of Zhuo Qi.

Hua Xin also made some harsh remarks, saying that Zhuo Qi was her daughter and asked Zhuo Yongde to stop disturbing them.

She's just a little girl, Zhuo Yongde doesn't care about her.

Now that Zhuo Qi needs resources and connections, the mother and daughter think of him again.

Zhuo Yongde poked Hua Xin directly in the heart, making Hua Xin so angry that her blood pressure rose sharply.

But she came here today to talk to Zhuo Yongde, not to quarrel, so she swallowed her anger.

"Don't forget that you only have Qiqi as your daughter. If you don't give your resources to her, who else can you give them to? Otherwise, why do you think I didn't change Qiqi's last name? In the future, you will have to rely on Qiqi to support you in your old age."

Both sides knew how to control the other, and Zhuo Yongde finally had a slightly different reaction.

Zhuo Yongde later had another marriage, but it also did not last long and he did not have any children, so when Zhuo Yongde gets old, he may really only be able to rely on Zhuo Qi.

"I know your plan. Let's take our time with Qiqi's matter. I will definitely help her if I can. She is my own daughter. If I don't help her, who else can you expect to help her?" Even at this time, Zhuo Yongde did not forget to mock her.

Hua Xin rolled her eyes and didn't want to argue with him.

As soon as Zhuo Yongde finished speaking, his phone rang. He didn't know what the person on the other end said. He answered twice and then hung up.

"They've already arrived. I'll go meet them up front. How about you wait for me in the office?"

Zhuo Yongde still wanted to continue chatting with her, but Hua Xin couldn't stay with him for even a quarter of an hour.

"Qiqi is still waiting for me in the reception hall. I'll leave first."

"Then come together, I also want to go to the reception hall."

“…” Hua Xin had no choice but to travel with Zhuo Yongde.

Zhuo Yongde looked her up and down frequently: "You've taken good care of yourself over the years. You look only in your early thirties, not much different from when we got married."

Hua Xin not only takes good care of her face, getting beauty treatments every now and then and undergoing medical aesthetics regularly, but her figure is also fuller and more attractive than when she was young.

Hua Xin was disgusted by his unscrupulous gaze, but she didn't want to break up with him, so she could only change the subject.

"You should also take to heart what I just reminded you and be vigilant at all times. This is not just your problem. You should think more about Qiqi."

Zhuo Yongde was annoyed by her nagging: "Alright, I've been hosting for forty years. Do I need you to teach me how to control the stage? Whenever I'm on a show, the process and rhythm are under my control. It's not the turn of some little girl from outside to steal my show."

Hua Xin certainly would not doubt Zhuo Yongde's ability to host and control the situation. Zhuo Yongde was professional in this regard, and she was just trying to change the subject.

She thought Zhuo Yongde would be obedient from then on, but who would have thought that as Zhuo Yongde walked, his gaze returned to Hua Xin.

"Since you haven't been able to deal with Yan Yushan for so many years, it means you have no hope in this life. Why don't we remarry? We will be a family again in the future, and we can work together to bring Zhuo Qi to the top."

Hua Xin endured it again and again, and tried very hard to restrain his desire to curse.

Even if she had no hope anymore, she would never be tempted by Zhuo Yongde's betrayal. The experience she had once had was enough to make her regret for the rest of her life.

Hua Xin ignored him, turned a corner and went to the bathroom, not intending to continue going with him.

Zhuo Yongde just asked casually on a whim, so he naturally couldn't wait for Hua Xin to come out for the answer.

He went to the TV station's reception hall alone.

At this time, Zhuo Qi was sitting on the single sofa in the reception hall, chatting with the sisters in the small group boredly, and waiting for Hua Xin.

Her condition has improved a little during this period, and she dares to log in to her public social accounts.

It was all thanks to Bai Jiesui's new program that diverted netizens' attention. Now the entire network is condemning and criticizing Min Wenlun.

In addition, thanks to the internet trolls Hua Xin found for her to plagiarize her articles, few people are talking about her insignificant little things anymore.

Recently, Hua Xin contacted several film crews for her. After a few days of going through the motions and auditioning, she was able to continue filming and became an overnight sensation.

The only thing that always worries her is the God Caowu who has left the plot.

As far as Zhuo Qi knows, the cooperation between Uncle Yan and Master Caowu has not made any progress, and her mother Hua Xin has not been able to contact Master Caowu.

It's as if the progress bar suddenly got stuck midway.

Zhuo Qi did try to contact the great god Cao Wu, but after searching the entire Internet, he only found one account that called the great god Cao Wu, and the latest update of this account was in early spring.

He was scolding his dog, saying that he was working on a manuscript outside in the sun when the dog came running towards him and hit him, sending him straight to the ICU. He then consulted people online about how to make dog meat more delicious.

His post has accumulated more than 100,000 comments.

Some fans of the book said that he had so many excuses for delaying the manuscript that he could even make up an excuse about being sent to the ICU by a dog.

A book fan directly sent him the address and asked him to send the dog to him so that he could teach the dog a lesson for him.

A book fan showed his chef certificate and said he could cook at home, and the reward was to let him look at his manuscripts.

But Master Caowu didn’t reply to any of them.

He did not even reprint the promotional updates from the publishing house and official platforms.

Zhuo Qi found out that he couldn’t contact Master Caowu through his social media account.

Coincidentally, at this time, the sisters in the small group suddenly mentioned the great god Caowu.

[Zhuzhu will be popular sooner or later]: Qiqi, I remember you said you knew the great Caowu, could you urge him to update? He has stopped updating for two weeks, and I feel so anxious every day.

After seeing this message, Zhuo Qi was stunned for a while, and then she suddenly woke up. She seemed to have really boasted about it in the group of little sisters.

Zhuo Qi has enjoyed the envious gazes of others since she was a child. Almost all her friends know that her mother works for Yan Yushan, and she often shows off the small gifts given to her by Yan Yushan in front of her friends.

Therefore, she has been very popular since she was a child and has always been the envy of her peers.

After entering the film academy, she enjoyed more preferential treatment and was envied by more people.

Although Yan Yushan will not take the initiative to provide her with convenience, she can take advantage of the situation to bully others.

Through various explicit and implicit hints, teachers and classmates at the Film Academy all knew that she had known Yan Yushan since childhood.

Yan Yushan also graduated from the Film Academy, and he is the only one who won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his acting talent before entering the Film Academy.

He entered school with a halo around him, but he was very low-key and always got first place in his professional courses.

Teachers who taught him or not all praised him highly, and his acting skills were a model example for the film academy, which every incoming freshman would see.

Under the halo of Yan Yushan, her classmates envied her, and the teachers would more or less favor her, often caring about her and asking her about Yan Yushan's recent situation.

Zhuo Qi borrowed Yan Yushan's power, which meant she was more or less not lying. After all, she really grew up under Yan Yushan's care.

But her claim that she knew the great god Caowu was completely fabricated.

The reason why she was bragging like this was because some time ago, a new girl from the literature department brought several books by the great writer Cao Wu, and the most important thing was that the title page had the great writer Cao Wu's personal signature on it.

The great Caowu has always been very low-key. He never attends book signing events or gives speeches at universities. Few people have even seen him.

Anyone who can get his autograph is extremely capable. At least it proves that this person knows the great god Caowu, and the great god Caowu is willing to give her an autograph.

Although the girl from the literature department never admitted that she knew the great writer Cao Wu, she still couldn't stop people from coming up to her one after another to get close to her. Even the teachers in the literature department would ask her about Cao Wu in a roundabout way. There was no way around it, Cao Wu's fans were too widespread.

This scene seemed familiar to Zhuo Qi. Didn't they try to get close to him in the same way before, just to get an autographed photo of Yan Yushan?

Perhaps it was jealousy that made her unable to bear to see others being as successful as he was and stealing her limelight.

When she thought that she would get to know Master Caowu in the near future, she couldn't help but show off in front of outsiders in advance, saying that Yan Yushan was going to cooperate with Master Caowu and that she would meet Master Caowu in a few days.

Due to her special status, it is not surprising that such news comes from her mouth, and it is highly credible.

Many people believed it at that time, including the sisters in the small group.

When he was suddenly asked this question, Zhuo Qi's heart skipped a beat.

One person started asking, and the other sisters in the small group followed suit.

[Koi Fairy]: Yes, Qiqi, didn’t you say you would bring us an autographed book from Master Caowu? When can you get it for us?

This is also one of the blank checks that Zhuo Qi wrote.

Zhuo Qi's scalp was numb, but he still had to pretend to be calm and reply to the little sister.

[kiki琪琪]: How can it be so fast? Uncle Yan and the others haven’t even finished their business yet. How can I have the nerve to bother Master Caowu with such a small matter as yours?

[Zhuzhu will become popular sooner or later]: Did the master stop updating because he wanted to revise the script for film or television?

Zhuo Qi had no idea and could only make up nonsense based on his own imagination.

[kiki琪琪]: Master Caowu has a lot of things to do, and I don’t know when he will be free, so you guys just wait.

[Koi Fairy]: But how did Xu Yi get the latest book published by the great writer?

Xu Yi is the freshman in the Department of Literature.

Zhuo Qi was very upset because the sisters in the small group were obviously questioning her ability.

[kiki琪琪]: Then you should go find Xu Yi. Maybe he can help you get the autographed book first, and even arrange a role for you in Cao Wu’s drama.

Zhuo Qi replied rapidly, then angrily pressed the power button and decided not to reply anymore.

However, she looked up and saw someone who made her even more angry.

Bai Jiesui and her program team arrived and were registering at the reception desk.

Zhuo Qi was in the corner, and if Bai Jiesui didn't turn her head deliberately, she wouldn't notice her.

Zhuo Qi didn't want to attract her attention and just wanted to wait quietly for Hua Xin to come out.

As a result, when she looked away, she accidentally noticed Bai Jiesui's hand.

To be precise, it was the bracelet on Bai Jiesui's wrist.

The more she looked at the bracelet, the more familiar it seemed. It looked so much like the one she bought at the mall last week.

Although everyone can buy bracelets of this brand, the series she bought can be freely matched with rare gems, so she picked out a few gems she liked, and each gem has a different color, so the chance of having the same style is very small.

How could it be such a coincidence that Bai Jiesui chose the same gem as her.

Although Zhuo Qi thought it was unlikely that it was the same one, she was inexplicably tempted to look at the number on the bracelet.

At this time, Zhuo Yongde had already come out, with a friendly smile on his face, shaking hands and greeting them one by one.

"I'm so grateful for all the hard work you've put in coming all this way. I'm Zhuo Yongde, the director of the General Affairs Department. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

In fact, Zhuo Yongde doesn't need to introduce himself, as the TV people at the scene know him.

He is a senior in the hosting industry. Although he has faded out of the public eye for various reasons in recent years, his popularity remains.

Director Gao: "I've long admired Teacher Zhuo. I'm sorry to bother you today."

Zhuo Yongde said cheerfully, "What do you mean by 'troubling you?' It's me who has troubled you. I called you here so suddenly that I forgot to ask if you had any other plans."

"It doesn't matter where we film the show. We mainly record the medical consultations for Teacher Xiaobai, but Teacher Xiaobai said that she treats everyone and doesn't pick and choose her patients, so it's not a problem for us. Instead, we should thank Teacher Zhuo for giving us content to film."

Director Gao had no idea what Zhuo Yongde was thinking. When most people in the circle were avoiding him, Zhuo Yongde actually took the initiative to contact them.

So he was sincerely thanking Zhuo Yongde, at least no one would reject them in this episode.

Zhuo Yongde had already noticed Bai Jiesui next to him. Just by looking at her appearance, he knew that she was extraordinary.

"Seeing Doctor Xiaobai is believing. He's so talented despite his young age, it puts us old hands to shame." Zhuo Yongde even praised Bai Jiesui to Director Gao. "Young people these days are truly getting better and better. I've watched Doctor Xiaobai's show, and he's every bit as skilled as a veteran Chinese medicine practitioner with decades of experience."

Director Gao agreed very much with Zhuo Yongde's praise, and even praised him even more than Zhuo Yongde.

"Our teacher Xiaobai is committed to promoting and publicizing Traditional Chinese Medicine. During the time our program was aired, online searches for Traditional Chinese Medicine increased tenfold. It's said that many prospective college entrance exam students are seeking advice on Traditional Chinese Medicine, a phenomenon never seen before."

Zhuo Yongde is also very good at speaking politely: "I hope that the influence brought by Dr. Xiaobai will encourage more children to learn Chinese medicine, so that Chinese medicine will become more and more prosperous."

Director Gao: "With our teacher Xiaobai as a living signboard, that's for sure."

No one else could get a word in during the small talk between these two veterans in the workplace.

While Zhuo Yongde was speaking, Bai Jiesui had been observing him silently from the side, with a frown on his face, obviously thinking about something.

At this time, Zhuo Yongde and Director Gao finally finished their greetings and came to talk to her.

"Doctor Xiaobai, I'm going to trouble you with the young people in our station. They're usually so busy with work that they don't take care of their health. It's common for TV people to stay up late and work overtime, and they often skip meals and never eat on time. I'm going to trouble you to pay more attention and carefully examine those young people.

"Like me, when I was young, I knew nothing and had no one to guide me. I ended up exhausting myself and it took me a long time to recover. I don't want to see them follow my path, always thinking they could endure just because they were young, not taking care of their bodies, only to realize the dangers of exhaustion when they became ill. Don't be polite, Dr. Xiaobai, just tell them what you think. Let them learn a lesson and know they're not superhuman."

Zhuo Yongde's words came from the bottom of his heart, and every word he said was for the young people in their station. He was really worried about them.

Bai Jiesui knew before coming that she had to check the pulse of a group of young hosts.

But they didn't expect that all this was caused by their leader.

Judging from Zhuo Yongde's words and deeds, he is a really good leader who can truly consider the people below him.

Since Director Zhuo had made a good first impression on her, she offered a sincere suggestion: "But Director Zhuo, I see your lung function isn't very good. Would you like me to check on you later?"

"Can you tell that my lungs are not in good condition?" Zhuo Yongde was very surprised.

Bai Jiesui nodded and said, "Director Zhuo, your skin is dry, you have spots and acne on your face, your complexion is dull, your eyes are bloodshot, and there's a dark spot between your eyebrows... These are all signs of poor lung function, but the specific condition won't be known until we take your pulse. I can also help you with your chronic cough, if you need help."

Older people are extremely concerned about their health, and Zhuo Yongde is no exception, especially when the other party can accurately describe his symptoms.

He was really interested because he had been coughing for decades and had taken many medicines but to no avail. He kept coughing over and over again.

Just when he was about to agree, he suddenly saw Zhuo Qi standing not far from Dr. Xiaobai.

Zhuo Yongde woke up immediately. He couldn't take any risks. To be on the safe side, he decided not to let Bai Jiesui see him. At worst, he could eat more lung-nourishing food and then see another doctor.

He didn't want Bai Jiesui to show him, and he spoke very nicely.

"Mine are all minor problems. Our main task today is to see the young people in our station. They are the future hope of our station. People like me who have one foot in the ground have more or less some old health problems. I'm used to them. It's not worth it for Dr. Xiaobai to waste his time. If I don't cough one day, I won't be used to it." He laughed calmly as he said this.

Since Zhuo Yongde didn't want to watch, Bai Jiesui didn't say anything more.

After the polite words, Zhuo Yongde led them inside.

At this time, Zhuo Qi suddenly stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Bai Jiesui's hand, preventing her from leaving.

Bai Jiesui was still confused when Zhuo Yongde spoke first.

"Zhuo Qi, what are you doing?"

Zhuo Qi said with a straight face, "I want to say a few words to her. It won't take up much time."

She is narrow-minded to begin with. If she doesn't figure out the matter of the bracelet today, she will be restless and unable to sleep in the middle of the night.

This is the bracelet she bought with her own money after working hard and shopping under the scorching sun.

Even if it's not the same item, she's still upset that she has the same item. Why does Bai Jiesui always take a fancy to her things?

Although Zhuo Yongde is not very close to his daughter, they are still related by blood. Even if he does not understand her behavior, he will still try his best to speak for her.

"This is my daughter Zhuo Qi. She probably has something to say to Dr. Xiao Bai. Let's give the youngster some time."

The staff around were too embarrassed to point it out.

Is there something going on? From Zhuo Qi's expression, it's clear that he's here with bad intentions.

Bai Jiesui didn't know what Zhuo Qi wanted to do, but she didn't refuse. After all, Zhuo Qi was stubborn and narrow-minded, and she wouldn't give up until she finished listening to her words today.

They walked to a corner.

Before the two of them reached the corner, Zhuo Qi couldn't help it and turned back to stare at the bracelet on Bai Jiesui's wrist.

"How did you get your bracelet?"

There is a delicate and small bracelet on Bai Jiesui's wrist. The gems reflect a dazzling luster due to special cutting techniques, which is particularly suitable for her skin tone.

It is undeniable that the bracelet looks very good on her wrist, and it fits her better than when Zhuo Qi tried it on herself, which makes Zhuo Qi even more unhappy.

Bai Jiesui followed her gaze and remembered the origin of the bracelet.

A few days ago, Grandma Yan insisted on giving her the bracelet, saying that her son bought it for her. Her useless son didn't know how to buy things and didn't consider whether it was suitable for an old lady at all. If Bai Jinhui didn't want it, she could only keep it at home as a worship.

When it comes to traditional pulling skills, Bai Jiesui is no match for Grandma Yan.

In the end, the bracelet finally fell into her hands, and she also told Bai Jiesui to wear it when recording the show, because it looked good.

How could Bai Jusui have the nerve to wear the bracelet that Grandma Yan's son bought as a gift to his mother? She had originally planned to keep it at home and return it when the time was right.

Who knew that Asan put this bracelet in her luggage when he packed it for her.

Grandma Yan noticed that she was not wearing a bracelet in the last episode, and her wrists were clean, so she called her again to tell her about it.

That's why she wore the bracelet today.

Bai Jiesui just wanted to get rid of her as quickly as possible, so she said in a general way, "Someone else gave it to her."

Although Zhuo Qi couldn't see the last digit of the code clearly, she felt that the bracelet was very similar to the one she bought. After buying it, she couldn't let it go and looked at it many times, and almost kept it for herself.

Because it was something she liked, she was deeply impressed, including the unique facets of each gem.

If Baijiesui didn't buy it himself, then it was more likely hers.

Although the chances are very small, it is not impossible. What if the young girl who received the bracelet sold it, or knew Bai Jiesui and gave it to her as a favor.

Zhuo Qi was so disgusted.

"Who sent it?" Zhuo Qi raised his brows and asked sternly.

"No, show me the number on the bracelet."

Zhuo Qi's attitude made Bai Jie Sui feel very comfortable, and she had no obligation to answer Zhuo Qi's questions.

"You want to see the number?"

"Yes, I want to see the number." Zhuo Qi's tone was not a request, but an order.

She looked at Zhuo Qi coldly for a while, then suddenly curled her lips and smiled.

"Then keep thinking about it."

Then he turned around and walked away with a faint smile.

Based on her understanding of Zhuo Qi's character, Zhuo Qi would be upset for a very long time after she left.
