Social Death Patient 047

Even the white mustard was a little surprised by this result.

Although smelling your own socks is unhygienic, it is a small habit that can be understood by the public.

However, no matter how much people like to smell stinky socks, few would be willing to smell someone else's socks.

Even if they are both smelly socks, there will always be a difference between other people's and your own. It is normal to dislike other people's socks.

Moreover, the types of bacteria accumulated in Zhuo Yongde's lungs are numerous and the time span is long, which means that it was not just one or two accidents, but an active behavior he has been doing for a long time.

Looking at the highly respected Zhuo Yongde at this time, Bai Jiesui felt a little subtle.

It’s not enough to smell your own, but you have to smell others’. Zhuo Yongde is so unrefined.

Zhuo Yongde was almost scared to death, but fortunately he had handled many stage crises with quick wit and was able to react in the shortest time.

"Doctor Xiaobai, you misunderstood. I don't have athlete's foot now because I've been soaking in the medicine for a long time and it's cured. What you're talking about should be the infection I got when I had athlete's foot before."

Bai Jiesui thought that he was being stubborn and making excuses for himself because he didn't want to change this habit.

She shook her head. "Your athlete's foot was completely cured a long time ago, and you haven't had it in recent years. However, your lungs are still being infected with new fungi, which means you're smelling more than just your socks."

Hearing this, Lin Qiuyi suddenly had an epiphany.

She was always straightforward and blurted out without thinking, "I remember that Director Zhuo told me before that his relative's child was doing research and needed to collect a large number of worn stocking samples. Could it be that Director Zhuo accidentally got infected while helping his relative's child collect stocking samples?"

Lin Qiuyi didn't think too much about it. She just thought that Zhuo Yongde was eager to do a good thing and had innocently caused her lungs to be infected with athlete's foot fungus.

As a result, as soon as she opened her mouth, Erya immediately nodded in agreement: "I also helped Director Zhuo collect samples. I even called on my roommates to help me in the dormitory and helped Director Zhuo collect more than 60 pairs of stockings samples."

Yu Man asked in surprise: "Have you all given it?"

Lin Qiuyi nodded as if it was a matter of course. "Director Zhuo said this is a very important topic, and it's related to whether his relative's child can graduate successfully. It's just a small favor, so we'll help if we can."

Erya: "Director Zhuo didn't ask for it in vain. He also gave us a lot of new stockings that we had never worn. They were much more expensive than what my roommates and I bought."

Lin Qiuyi: "Yes, yes, yes. Director Zhuo also gave me a lot, saying that I can give it to classmates and friends. If anyone is willing to provide samples, he will give them two pairs of stockings back. My best friend and I haven't spent money on stockings recently."

The more Yu Man thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Although she had given Zhuo Yongde her own stockings, on the one hand, Zhuo Yongde was her leader and it would be difficult for her to refuse when he asked her for help. On the other hand, she had just graduated from school and knew how important a research project was to students.

So she had no doubts at all at the time and really thought that her stockings were being used for research.

But now thinking about Dr. Bai's diagnosis of Zhuo Yongde, including Zhuo Yongde's active collection of stockings from several of them, it is hard not to let Yu Man wonder whether these stockings are actually used in the research project.

Even though Yu Man had some guesses, she didn't want to question Zhuo Yongde, so she chose to remain silent, because she had always respected Zhuo Yongde very much and was unwilling to question him, let alone wrongly accuse him.

Zhuo Yongde was just wondering how to explain it, but unexpectedly, someone brought him a pillow just when he felt sleepy.

He suddenly realized something and shook his head in regret, saying, "I was just helping someone collect samples. How could I get athlete's foot that way? I didn't think too much about it when I agreed to help. It seems I can't do this favor casually anymore."

Bai Jiesui felt that this reason was a bit ridiculous. Zhuo Yongde was just helping his relatives collect stocking samples, and he was not a full-time second-hand stocking recycling worker. How could it be possible that he developed an "occupational disease"?

"Do you come into contact with a large number of stocking samples every day? Brief contact wouldn't cause you to be infected like this."

Zhuo Yongde sighed helplessly, "It's a bit too much. These are children I've watched grow up. How can I not help them when they ask me for help?"

Bai Jiesui: "What about your relative's child? If your lung condition is this serious, then the researchers who do this are exposed to more, so it must be even more serious."

Zhuo Yongde responded quickly: "Doctor Xiaobai, you are right. I will call him later to ask about his condition and ask him to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Bai Jiesui wanted to say something else, but the outspoken Lin Qiuyi frowned and muttered in confusion, "But that's not right. The stockings I gave to Director Zhuo were all sealed in a bag with a label. Director Zhuo didn't need to open it."

Erya: "I also folded it and put it in a storage box, just to avoid wasting Director Zhuo's relatives' time to do storage and sorting."

At this point, Yu Man could hardly hold back any longer and wanted to ask if there was any research project at all.

She accidentally noticed Hu Yang beside her.

Hu Yang hadn't spoken since the beginning. His expression was somewhat intriguing, as if there was a hint of a smile on his face. He looked like he was watching the show with great interest.

Yu Man suddenly asked, "Sister Hu Yang, haven't you ever provided stocking samples for Director Zhuo's relatives' children?"

Hu Yang sneered in his heart.

Before, Zhuo Yongde had not used research as an excuse. He told Hu Yang that he had a friend who specialized in making stockings and gave him a lot of them. No one in his family needed the stockings, so he gave them to his colleagues at the station.

Hu Yang was so grateful to him at the time. You have to know that she had to appear on TV every day as a host, and she often had to wear stockings to adjust her skin color.

However, stockings are consumables and need to be replaced with new ones if they get even the slightest scratch. People who are a bit particular about stockings almost always wear disposable stockings, which adds up to a considerable expense over a month.

Now someone gave her a bunch of stockings, and of course she was very grateful.

A few days later, Zhuo Yongde found her again. Not only did he give her a big bag of stockings, he also shared a good news with her.

According to Zhuo Yongde, his friend who makes stockings wants to find a group of stocking tryers who can wear their stockings for free without limit.

In exchange, the tryers need to send the stockings they have worn back to the manufacturer, who will use them for statistical research to improve the quality and wearing experience of the stockings.

For Hu Yang at that time, this was indeed good news.

The manufacturer needs to upgrade its products and needs a large number of trial samples, and she can also save a lot of money on stockings.

Then Zhuo Yongde became the middleman between Hu Yang and the manufacturer.

Zhuo Yongde regularly gave stockings to Hu Yang, and Hu Yang passed the worn stockings to Zhuo Yongde.

Zhuo Yongde was very dedicated in his role as the middleman. Many times, Hu Yang was so busy with work that she forgot to bring her stockings to the station, and Zhuo Yongde would remind her repeatedly the next day.

If Hu Yang still forgot the next day, Zhuo Yongde would be very angry and criticize Hu Yang for having no sense of contract.

Hu Yang felt extremely guilty, knowing that Zhuo Yongde would not be able to explain to his friends, and she made it difficult for Zhuo Yongde in front of his friends.

However, due to the nature of his work, Hu Yang often travels on business, and his days and nights are often reversed. Not only is he easily busy and forgetful, but many times he is unable to get back in time when he is on business trips, let alone hand in his stockings on time.

So when Hu Yang's work gradually got on track, her salary increased significantly, and she no longer felt bad about the monthly cost of stockings, she decided to stop cooperating with the stockings manufacturer.

She thought it was a very normal request, but Zhuo Yongde flew into a rage and sarcastically implied that Hu Yang was treacherous and that he had earned a little money but looked down on their small favors and was unwilling to help.

Hu Yang felt very aggrieved and patiently explained her reasons, but Zhuo Yongde just wouldn't calm down and kept taking every opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Considering that Zhuo Yongde had helped her before and she was the first to breach the contract verbally, she had to bear the consequences of Zhuo Yongde's actions.

However, she didn't expect that Zhuo Yongde had another trick up his sleeve.

Ever since she stopped providing stockings to Zhuo Yongde, she always found that the stockings she took off would disappear inexplicably.

At first she thought she had dropped it or that a colleague had accidentally taken it by mistake.

Stockings are not valuable items, so she didn't care too much about losing them.

But as she lost her stockings more and more times, she gradually realized that something was wrong.

Until one day, she accidentally ran into Zhuo Yongde leaving her locker. Then she opened her locker and found that her stockings were missing again.

After get off work, she talked to her friends about the recent disappearance of stockings and Zhuo Yongde's strange behavior.

Her friend was more sensitive than her and immediately associated it with some people's bad habits.

Some people have special hobbies and like to collect certain items privately. These items can stimulate them, make them mentally excited, and regard these items as objects of fantasy.

What could excite Leader Hu Yang must be the stockings worn by young women.

Later, her friend sent her several video links of popular science unveilings and asked Hu Yang to watch them all. She also scolded Hu Yang for being too slow and not noticing anything was wrong.

"People in this society have all sorts of bizarre fetishes. Some even go out on the street and ask young women for stockings, secretly filming the encounter and sharing it in their hobby groups. They usually pretend to be extremely polite and give a very reasonable excuse, just like your boss's, to make it difficult for young women to refuse. They rely on their shamelessness to earn the kindness of girls without any cost. Some even sell the stockings they get for free at a high price to make a profit. The more beautiful the young woman, the higher the price her stockings will fetch..."

"I'm so pissed! Why didn't you tell me earlier? It took you so long to tell me. Your leader is such a pervert. Did he sexually harass you?"

Only then did Hu Yang realize what Zhuo Yongde was doing.

Hu Yang was not a timid person. The next day, she rushed to Zhuo Yongde's office and asked him why he stole her stockings and where his previous stockings were.

Zhuo Yongde didn't seem flustered at all and responded to her questions with ease.

"Do you know what your accusation means? If you want to accuse me, you should at least provide some evidence. Without any evidence, I can accuse you of defamation!"

Hu Yang really couldn't produce any evidence. Yesterday, she got carried away chatting with her friends and ran to Zhuo Yongde's office on impulse. She didn't even think about finding some evidence before confronting Zhuo Yongde.

But Hu Yang was so angry. She felt disgusted at the thought that he would do something disgusting with her used stockings.

"What about the stockings you asked me for before? If you give them back to me, I will buy them with my own money, double the price."

"Of course I gave it to the stocking manufacturer, and it was destroyed long ago. Otherwise, do you think I would keep it for you?"

It can be said that there is no evidence to prove the truth.

Hu Yang asked him for the manufacturer's contact information again. Zhuo Yongde gave her a service hotline starting with 400, saying that it was his friend's phone number and it was inconvenient to give it to outsiders.

Afterwards, Hu Yang actually called the service hotline starting with 400, but the customer service on the other end was outsourced and had no idea how the manufacturer conducted production and R&D. They just talked to her in circles, and she didn't get any useful information.

Hu Yang also secretly communicated with colleagues behind the scenes and found that they almost never lost their stockings. The occasional one or two times were due to their negligence, which made it impossible for Hu Yang to communicate information.

Reporting Zhuo Yongde to the station is even more impossible. First of all, the station is a society based on personal relationships and pays great attention to seniority. If she, a new host, has a conflict with the senior host Zhuo Yongde, there is no doubt that the station leaders will stand on Zhuo Yongde's side, give up her and save Zhuo Yongde.

Another thing is that she has no evidence. Even if she doesn't want her job, she won't get any benefit by confronting Zhuo Yongde. She might even be accused by Zhuo Yongde of slandering her senior.

Hu Yang learned her lesson and became more cautious when changing her stockings. She would never change her stockings in the studio if she could avoid doing so. Even if she had to change her stockings in the studio, she would definitely lock the locker.

However, it was still impossible to guard against Zhuo Yongde 100%. Zhuo Yongde relied on his connections in the station to always get spare keys and launch a sneak attack from time to time.

Although he had never harassed Hu Yang with words or actions, and usually acted righteously in front of others, his behavior of taking a pair of her stockings from time to time still made Hu Yang feel disgusted.

She decided to go all out and bought a lock online, and her life became peaceful.

Later, Hu Yang discovered that Zhuo Yongde still had to choose people. His first choice was young female anchors. Female anchors had good looks and were more easily controlled by him. For the sake of their image and future, even if the female anchors discovered something fishy, ​​they would not confront Zhuo Yongde head-on and would choose to swallow their anger.

As Hu Yang's career steadily rose, she began to cherish her career and future more and more. She was even able to get along peacefully with Zhuo Yongde and communicate in a friendly manner while wearing masks off the stage.

Of course, in the end she made the same choice as other seniors and decided to leave Feizhutai and go to another station.

If she couldn't afford to offend the highly respected Zhuo Yongde, could she just hide? At least other channels wouldn't make her constantly worry about her stockings being stolen.

Hu Yang never expected that Zhuo Yongde, whom she and other female hosts couldn't afford to offend, would actually be plucked by someone today.

On such a happy day, how could she not come to add bricks and tiles and contribute her own strength?

Hu Yang pressed his fist to his lips and muttered, "I haven't heard of any research project, but I haven't seen the stockings in my locker many times. Could it be..."

She didn't finish her words and acted terrified.

Yu Man subconsciously asked: "Sister Hu Yang, are you talking about Director Zhuo..."

Hu Yang hurriedly tried to distance herself from the matter: "I don't know, and I dare not say anything. What if Director Zhuo didn't take my stockings? I can't bear the responsibility."

She played the tactic of leaving something to say but stopping and then clarifying immediately very well.

It now seems that Zhuo Yongde, who collects a large number of stockings, is the biggest suspect.

Even Lin Qiuyi and Erya, who had always believed in Zhuo Yongde, began to wonder what Zhuo Yongde's purpose was in collecting stockings from them.

This time Zhuo Yongde was really angry. He never thought that the stupid Lin Qiuyi would take the initiative to reveal what he said in private. Could such words be said casually?

He stood up suddenly and questioned them harshly.

"What? You all think that I secretly hid your stockings, cough cough cough..." Zhuo Yongde got excited and started coughing again.

But Bai Jiesui didn't say anything this time, and just watched him argue silently.

Zhuo Yongde barely stopped coughing and continued sadly, "I've always had a clear conscience towards you. I don't know what you mean by your words today, cough cough, and I don't care what you plan to do. I tell you, I've lived for more than 60 years and have done things openly and honestly. I'm not afraid of anyone's false accusations! Cough cough cough..."

His choice of words is very contagious, and coupled with his strong psychological quality, he can really fool a lot of people.

But in the eyes of the parties involved, this matter is not so easy to be fooled.

Erya should be the person who trusts Zhuo Yongde the most, because since she came to the station for internship, it has always been Zhuo Yongde who has led her to do programs. Zhuo Yongde has taught her a lot of useful knowledge. In her heart, Zhuo Yongde has always been a glorious and majestic figure, a person she admires and respects.

Therefore, she was the most active person in helping Zhuo Yongde collect stocking samples. She not only called on her roommates, but also the students in the next dormitory. At her call, they were also willing to provide their own samples.

The classmates were willing to cooperate because they trusted her.

She is not only doing this for herself, she also wants to find out for her classmates and give them an explanation.

Erya: "Director Zhuo...are you really collecting our stockings for a research project on a relative's child?"

Zhuo Yongde looked like he had a headache. "If my family hadn't come to me and asked for help, I wouldn't bother with these things. It's a thankless task. I got infected and was misunderstood. I'll push this matter away when I get home. No matter who it is, I won't help with this."

I have to say that Zhuo Yongde has really good psychological quality and his eloquence is one of the best, and he can confuse right and wrong.

After listening to this, Yu Man and Er Ya both suspected that they might be too sensitive and shouldn't have made random guesses about Director Zhuo.

Hu Yang was the most sober of the other hosts. She asked, "So, which school and department is he from? What grade is he in? What's his name? Can you show us his research progress? Director Zhuo, don't get me wrong. I'm not doubting you. I certainly believe in your character. You would never do such a disgusting thing. I'm suspicious of your relative's child. I'm worried you might have been deceived too. What if he uses the stockings he got in your name to do something bad? You'll be the one who suffers in the end."

Zhuo Yongde: "That's impossible. That child is very honest. I watched him grow up."

Hu Yang smiled and said, "You can only know a person's face, not his heart. Even parents may not know their child's true character. As a relative, you know him even less. You can't guarantee that all the stockings he received will be used for research. We young women have provided so many samples for free. Is it reasonable to show some concern for the research progress?"

Of course it is not excessive. The students' research projects are not yet at the level of important secrets, so it is not so serious that we cannot even ask questions.

Zhuo Yongde couldn't think of any words to refuse, so he could only use the tactic of procrastination.

"I'll contact him. After all, this is someone else's important research, so I need to seek his consent first."

After saying this, he prepared to use the excuse of making a phone call to slip away first.

"Director Zhuo." Bai Jiesui called out to him.

Zhuo Yongde is particularly annoyed with her now. If she hadn't insisted on treating his illness, there would be no trouble now.

"I'll go make a phone call." He was a little impatient, afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave.

Bai Jiesui raised her chin towards him, motioning him to look at the needle in her hand.

"You can go make the call, but give me the needle back first."

Zhuo Yongde: “…”

He really wanted to pull it out himself, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, and he didn't dare to touch the needles.

As a last resort, he had to go back to Bai Jiesui and ask Bai Jiesui to remove the needle.

He was so anxious that he urged Bai Jiesui several times, asking her if she could move faster.

Bai Jiesui acted as if she didn't hear it and continued to help him remove the needle slowly and at her own pace.

When he was removing the last three needles, Bai Jiesui suddenly looked up and asked him, "Director Zhuo, has your relative's child been working on a research project for more than 40 years?"

Zhuo Yongde: "I've already said that it was my own athlete's foot before. I infected myself."

Bai Jiesui smiled speechlessly. "Your athlete's foot isn't stubborn enough to last for forty years. And you forgot I said the fungus in your lung infection was complex, which means many people were involved. How did you come into contact with so many other people's socks before your relative's child did his research?"

Hu Yang's eyes lit up with excitement, and he just wanted to say hello to Bai Jiesui.

After this round of questioning, Zhuo Yongde was speechless.

He had made up many excuses, but he couldn't say them at this time, otherwise his behavior would seem even more suspicious.

Zhuo Yongde was unable to answer this question, so he chose to remain silent.

"I'll make a phone call first." He continued to use the excuse of making a phone call to escape, but in fact he was going to find someone for help.

Bai Jiesui sneered faintly, and this time she did not call out to Zhuo Yongde, and Zhuo Yongde left smoothly.

Zhuo Yongde's departure does not mean that the matter is over.

Just because he doesn't admit it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't have a judgment in their hearts.

Zhuo Qi felt as if the world was falling. How could her biological father be a pervert who liked to collect and smell women's stockings?

How could she face people in the future? Even the white mustard seed would look down on her.

In reality, there is indeed a group of people with such fetishes who take advantage of girls' kindness to steal their personal belongings for their own use or to sell. Even if the other party is well-dressed and has many reasonable excuses, I hope girls will not trust others easily and give away their personal belongings. I hope girls will not encounter such bt!
