In short, the goal is to buy time and prevent these reporters from going in and causing trouble.

Time passed slowly, and an hour had gone by.

The operating room door finally opened.

Lin Chuchu immediately stood up and asked, "How is the patient?"

The senior doctor nodded to her, "The patient is out of danger, but needs to rest. The anesthesia will wear off in half an hour, at which point the patient will wake up."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she relayed the doctor's words to Smith.

Smith clasped his hands together, thanking the doctor repeatedly, and then turned to thank Lin Chuchu as well.

Lin Chuchu asked about some precautions, helped them with hospitalization procedures, and arranged their accommodation and meals.

After everything was arranged, Mrs. Smith woke up. As they were talking, someone came to tell Lin Chuchu that reporters had barged in.

Seeing the panic in Lin Chuchu's eyes, Smith asked her a few questions, "Lin, leave this to me. Don't worry, I won't let them cause trouble for your country."

Smith opened the ward door and was immediately met with more than a dozen pairs of eyes, as well as a barrage of cameras and microphones.

Upon seeing the door open, they immediately began taking pictures. Mrs. Smith was sitting comfortably on the bed, smiling, talking to an Asian woman.

Wasn't Mrs. Smith supposed to be dead? How come she's still alive and well?

Smith looked at everyone with a cold gaze. "My wife is fine, all thanks to the Chinese doctors' all-out efforts in treating her. I'm also very grateful to the exhibition staff for helping us solve problems and even getting us a vial of medication for her heart attack..."

Smith immediately launched into a string of thanks, silencing all the foreign journalists.

This incident was publicized in the newspapers for several days, and China's rapid response and handling of the situation were praised.

When Lin Chuchu saw her photo in the newspaper, she was stunned. How did she become famous?

The next day, Lin Chuchu went to work as a translator as usual. There were many people coming and going, and the incident did not attract much attention.

On the seventh day, Lin Chuchu received news that she had finally managed to buy some of the machines that she most wanted in China.

The minister was extremely excited and pulled Lin Chuchu aside to tell her what had happened.

The company they had initially chosen suddenly raised its price, leaving no room for negotiation. Just when the leader was about to grit his teeth and accept it, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

Smith's team approached them and offered to sell to domestic companies at below-market prices.

“You did the right thing. Life is the priority. If it weren’t for you, Mr. Smith definitely wouldn’t have sold us the equipment.”

Lin Chuchu frowned. "Minister, wouldn't this be incurring their favor? These kinds of international favors are the hardest to repay. Should we raise the price?"

"That's what the higher-ups initially thought too, but Smith said that we saved his wife and sold us equipment, which was considered repaying our favor."

People say foreigners are arrogant and prejudiced, but they are also very humane.
