Social Death Patient 018
According to the plan, Bai Jiesui should have taken Mia's pulse next, but this step did not go smoothly.
Because of Xiang Mingxu's sudden situation, his on-site team stepped forward to negotiate with the program crew and let Xiang Mingxu step down and rest first.
At the strong request of Xiang Mingxu's team, the program team had to temporarily adjust the plan and temporarily stopped the pulse-taking segment, allowing several other guests to follow the teacher to do outdoor yoga.
Bai Jiesui was naturally not among those doing yoga, so she was called aside by Xiang Mingxu's team.
Other people may be worried when encountering this situation, fearing that they will be in trouble because of offending capital. After all, it is not easy to successfully launch a popular male star, and so many people rely on this artist for their livelihood.
But Bai Jiesui doesn't have those worries of ordinary people. She holds Xiang Mingxu's prescription in her hand. His team wants Xiang Mingxu to get better quickly and regain his strength to continue working. In the end, they can only rely on her.
This time, Xiang Mingxu's team that came with him to record the show did not include his big agent, because his big agent has several other artists under him and it is impossible for him to follow him around.
Xiang Mingxu is his executive agent who runs around to announce things, but his arrogance as an executive agent is no less than that of a big agent.
He found a large private room and had the door locked.
One person was guarding outside, and the people inside turned on the recording and video equipment at the suggestion of Mr. Yang.
After everything was ready, the executive agent who claimed to be Mr. Yang began to question the accusations.
"What exactly is your purpose? Why did you say those words during the live broadcast? Did someone instruct you to say that?"
Mr. Yang watched the recording site for half an hour, then handed it over to his assistant and went to enjoy the resort's food. He had originally planned to go swimming in the swimming pool after breakfast.
But just as he changed into his swimming trunks, he received an emergency call from the company. Only then did he realize that something big had gone wrong during the live broadcast.
This is the most difficult crisis public relations Xiang Mingxu has encountered since his debut.
They can't care about the outside public opinion at the moment. The most important thing now is to deal with the person who caused the trouble.
With the attitude of using courtesy before force, Mr. Yang was relatively easy to talk to at this time.
"As long as you fully explain your purpose and the people behind you, we can sit down and discuss whatever we want. There's no need to fight to the death. We can definitely cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."
Mr. Yang has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years and is well aware of the intrigues within the industry.
It is impossible for a popular artist to have negative news about him for no reason. Even if the paparazzi get the negative news, they will first sell it to the artist's team, and most of the negative news will never be exposed.
If something is actually revealed, it’s either because the money couldn’t be agreed upon, or because the rivals bought your negative information and released it to harass you, or because the information revealed is more valuable than what it would be if it were sold.
Another situation is that the artist has offended someone, and the other party wants to retaliate against you regardless of the outcome.
Xiang Mingxu is very popular now, and I don’t know how many people are jealous of him. Who knows which jealous person did this today out of jealousy.
Mr. Yang always thinks that if there is any chance of negotiation, then we should try our best to solve the problem from the source and put all the responsibility on the culprit.
Bai Jiesui found his remarks amusing. "I only have one mission on this show, which is to take the pulses of all the guests and diagnose them. I'll tell them the truth about their conditions. You don't need to overthink this."
Mr. Yang was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by Bai Jiesui.
"Besides, you're his agent and follow him around almost 24 hours a day. You should be the person who knows his private life best. So, do you think there's something wrong with my diagnosis?"
Mr. Yang's words were suddenly stuck in his mouth.
He knew Xiang Mingxu's private life very well, and what Bai Jiesui said during the live broadcast was just the tip of the iceberg.
As the person involved, Xiang Mingxu was so guilty that he stopped talking.
However, Mr. Yang has a high level of professional ethics. When it comes to protecting his artists, he can lie with his eyes open even more than Xiang Mingxu.
"Our Mingxu is a very self-disciplined person. I saw it clearly when I was around him. He told you something completely different. He has a lot of announcements right now and is busy like a top every day. He wouldn't date a girlfriend during his career boom, and he doesn't have the time to do so. You're harming our Mingxu by talking nonsense like this on the livestream, don't you know?"
Bai Jiesui twitched her chin and asked Mr. Yang to go see Xiang Mingxu, who was curled up on the sofa. He still looked very sick and had not recovered yet.
"Looking back at the patient's current condition, Mr. Yang, do you think what you said is credible?"
Even so, Mr. Yang could still explain it: "He's just too busy with work and exhausted. We did go to bed at three in the morning yesterday, but we were reading the script in the room until three in the morning. Miss Bai, you don't know that if you're not in the industry, you don't know that once an artist becomes famous, there is no time to sleep. Many crews and GG are waiting for you, so you don't have time to rest at all."
Bai Jiesui couldn't help laughing when he heard this confusing statement.
"I think Miss Bai should improve her medical skills before treating patients. Your current professional skills are not enough to treat patients."
"You said my medical skills aren't very good. So what you're saying is," Bai Jiesui picked up the prescription he wrote with two fingers and said with a frank smile, "this prescription I wrote is useless. The patient can't use it, right?"
Mr. Yang certainly didn't care. It was just a Chinese medicine prescription, how much effect could it have? Besides, Chinese medicine was slow to take effect. It would be better to give Xiang Mingxu some deer antlers, deer penis or something like that to nourish him at night. These were the real tonics.
"Our Mingxu is in good health and doesn't need the medicine you prescribed."
As soon as Mr. Yang finished speaking, Xiang Mingxu, who was half-dead behind him, immediately became anxious and shouted to stop him.
"Who said it's not necessary? I want to drink it!"
Xiang Mingxu wanted to maintain his face and dignity in front of the camera, but now there is no camera, and he still cares about his damn face.
He was still in fear of Bai Jiesui's ability to take pulses. On the one hand, he shuddered at the sight of her, but on the other hand, he had no doubt about her diagnostic ability.
Apart from himself, Bai Jiesui is the only one who knows his current physical condition best. He just wants to take medicine quickly to make himself feel less uncomfortable.
Xiang Mingxu's sudden defection confused the agent.
He whispered to Xiang Mingxu, "I'll get you some deer penis and horse penis to replenish your body later. You don't need to take her medicine."
Bai Jiesui said speechlessly: "Do you really want to be good to him, or do you want to harm him?"
Mr. Yang: "How could I possibly harm him? Besides, deer penis and horse penis are both good things, very good for the body. Even if you are not sick, there is no harm in eating them."
Bai Jiesui: "Then you have to see if the patient's body can tolerate your 'tonic'. He's currently experiencing a deficiency in his essence and blood, and his body is over-consumed. You can only slowly recuperate, not give him a strong dose all at once. If you do, it will actually harm him."
"Everyone takes it. It's not as serious as you say. If you can't stand it, just eat less. How could it harm him?" Mr. Yang didn't care. They often took these supplements privately. After taking them, they felt very good and energetic, without any discomfort.
Bai Jiesui: "Mr. Yang, I advise you to use moderation. You shouldn't take too much of this kind of medicine. Besides deer whip, you've taken quite a few medicines before, right? You're suffering from internal heat now. At the very least, it could cause dry mouth and nosebleeds. More serious cases could worsen your symptoms, exacerbate urinary tract infections, damage your liver, and, at a certain age, induce glaucoma."
"I've only tried it once or twice. I'm in good health, so I don't eat it often." Mr. Yang suddenly started to act strong.
Bai Jiesui: "Really? How about I take your pulse?"
Mr. Yang felt strangely guilty: "I'm fine, why do you need me to take my pulse?"
It just so happened that Bai Jiesui didn't really want to take his pulse.
"Does the patient still need a prescription?"
"I need it." Xiang Mingxu answered first.
Mr. Yang frowned and whispered, "Why don't you listen to me? I'll find you some Western medicine later. Won't it be more effective than that bitter Chinese medicine you're taking?"
Bai Jiesui: "Mr. Yang, your understanding of Chinese medicine is too superficial. Chinese medicine has slow treatment methods and fast treatment methods. Not all diseases require the same treatment method."
Mr. Yang listened as if he were listening to a joke: "Fast? How fast can it be? Can it be as effective as Western medicine in half an hour?"
Bai Jiesui laughed and said, "It won't take half an hour. If we can give the patient two injections, it will take effect in about ten minutes, and the patient won't continue to suffer from kidney deficiency and lower back pain like he does now."
Xiang Mingxu, who was suffering from kidney deficiency and lower back pain, brightened up when he heard this.
"Is it really possible? Please give me two injections."
He completely ignored his agent's objections and insisted that Bai Jiesui give him two injections.
Bai Jiesui actually didn't really want to give him acupuncture. Firstly, it was not her job. Secondly, she couldn't stand Xiang Mingxu's chaotic private life and didn't want to give him acupuncture for no reason.
But, she was the one who treated Xiang Mingxu's illness and wrote the prescription. She couldn't completely ignore the patient's request.
So she said, "My acupuncture is not free, I have to charge money."
Xiang Mingxu didn't even ask the price and just said, "I'll transfer it to you at any price."
Bai Jiesui opened his mouth and said, "One needle costs one hundred. In your case, you need at least 50 needles."
"How much?" Mr. Yang's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Don't other people charge per session for acupuncture? Why do you charge per needle?"
Bai Jiesui raised her eyelids to look at him, and said indifferently, "It's your own choice. You can get the injection or not. I won't force you to pay. I'm not afraid to tell you that if I give you acupuncture, there will be people willing to pay 10,000 yuan per injection."
Mr. Yang thought she was too boastful and it amused him.
"Ten thousand yuan a shot, where are you going to find so many rich idiots?"
Bai Jiesui smiled casually: "There are many rich fools. It's not as easy to find a Chinese medicine practitioner like me as you think. I don't need any of you patients."
"Teacher Xiaobai, I'll transfer it to you." Xiang Mingxu had already unlocked his phone and didn't give the agent any time to bargain.
Bai Jiesui sighed silently and slowly called out her payment code. She thought she could avoid the acupuncture this time.
She would rather they refused to consume because she was not very willing to touch Xiang Mingxu's body.
After receiving the money, Bai Jiesui reluctantly took out the acupuncture needles from her bag and put on a pair of disposable gloves.
Mr. Yang stood beside them with his hands on his hips and a unhappy expression on his face. In his opinion, Bai Jiesui's behavior was just extortion.
He deliberately said loudly to Xiang Mingxu: "If you feel uncomfortable, speak up in advance. You have spent money, one hundred yuan per shot, don't keep holding it in."
"I feel extremely uncomfortable right now." Xiang Mingxu lay on the sofa waiting for acupuncture. As pretentious as he was before, he was now as cowardly as he was before.
"Teacher Xiaobai, does acupuncture hurt?"
He is actually more pleasing to the eye when he is not pretending or trying to create a persona.
"It's definitely not as painful as you are now." Bai Jiesui said as he gave him the injection without leaving him any preparation.
"?" Xiang Mingxu's prepared scream of a dead pig failed to come out.
"How is it? Are you feeling unwell?" his agent asked immediately.
Xiang Mingxu: "It's okay, I feel a little numb and bloated."
At first, he felt soreness and numbness where the needles were inserted. As more and more needles were inserted, he became immune to the soreness and numbness. Then he gradually found that his symptoms of kidney deficiency and low back pain seemed to be quietly easing.
For a long time, Xiang Mingxu felt that acupuncture was quite comfortable and made his whole body relax.
But not long after, Bai Jiesui took out the needle.
She removed the needles and placed them in a separate container, then removed the disposable gloves and threw them in the trash.
After doing all this, she took out a disinfectant wet wipe that she had prepared in advance and began to wipe each of her fingers carefully. She wiped it three times in total and used four wet wipes before she finished.
Xiang Mingxu: "..."
He always felt that there was a hint of disgust in Bai Jiesui's actions, but he didn't know if it was his illusion.
"Teacher Xiaobai, am I ready now?"
"It's just temporary. You can get up and walk around."
At first, Xiang Mingxu didn't dare to use too much force and could only slowly stand up by supporting his knees.
After standing up completely, Xiang Mingxu felt very different. His kidneys were no longer weak and his waist didn't hurt anymore. His steps were firm, his body felt much more relaxed, and he felt more energetic.
Before acupuncture, he never thought that the effect of acupuncture would be so good.
While he was happy, he couldn't help but be more wary of Bai Jusui's abilities.
But at this time, his agent continued to argue with Bai Jiesui about online public opinion.
"Wait a minute, Miss Bai, what are we going to do about the online public opinion? You have to give an explanation for what you did and find a way to resolve it."
Bai Jiesui: "You've got one thing wrong. This wasn't me who caused it. It was your artists, yourselves. If I don't check his pulse, does that mean his self-indulgent behavior doesn't exist? It will be good for all of you to wake up to your mistakes and establish a healthy lifestyle and way of making friends as soon as possible."
Now that things have come to this, if the agent continues to cover up for Xiang Mingxu, he would be treating him as a fool.
The agent spoke directly and frankly: "I don't know if Miss Bai doesn't understand the situation in the industry. In our industry, some things can be said, and some things cannot be said. Everything you said today is something you can't say, do you know?"
"I asked the patient in advance if he had any taboos, and he said no, so I could speak directly," Bai Jiesui said, unable to hold back a laugh. "I thought this patient was different from other patients because he dared to face his male issues."
Xiang Mingxu: "..."
He now has only one thought in his mind: regret, regret, and regret.
He had racked his brains but never imagined that a simple pulse diagnosis could reveal so many things. He thought he was in good health and strong.
The agent couldn't help but glance at Xiang Mingxu, but didn't blame him too much.
The reason why things have turned out like this is that Bai Jusui didn't know the seriousness of the matter.
"Then do you know that your outspokenness can easily destroy Xiang Mingxu?"
Bai Jiesui: "I don't think a clean person can be easily ruined. I just checked his pulse, but you think he will be ruined because of his pulse. That only means that he ruined himself by what he did."
Agent: "A normal person has his or her own private life, not to mention he is a popular star. Even the smallest details in his private life will be magnified infinitely."
Bai Jiesui frowned unhappily: "I don't think dating four girlfriends at the same time is a trivial matter in private life."
"Four?" The agent was not shocked by the number, because such things could not be hidden from him. What shocked him was that Bai Jiesui actually knew that Xiang Mingxu had four girlfriends.
Bai Jiesui said slowly, "His physical state changes with different girlfriends. I can tell from his pulse that he didn't like the girl last night very much, so he had to rely on medication to maintain his sexual performance. He preferred the girl he met last week. At least when they were together, he didn't need additional medication, nor did he pursue excessive frequency. It was also the highest quality sex he's had in recent times."
Xiang Mingxu closed his eyes in despair. His waist didn't hurt anymore, but his head hurt instead, and it was still throbbing with pain.
No matter what Bai Jie Sui said, Xiang Mingxu would not be surprised. He was just glad that she did not say it during the live broadcast.
Mr. Yang was quite frightened, because he knew who Xiang Mingxu liked more privately.
Xiang Mingxu has a girlfriend who he has been dating for many years. They are each other's first love. When he failed the college entrance examination, he ignored his parents' advice to repeat the exam and chose to go to another place to be a trainee without hesitation.
It was really hard for him when he was a trainee. His parents did not provide financial support, the company's salary was low, and he had to spend money to enroll in various specialized professional classes so that he could have more advantages among his peers.
At that time, only his first love supported him unconditionally. She not only gave him half of her living expenses, but also transferred the money she earned from her part-time job to him, helping him through the most difficult period of his life.
It can be said that if it weren't for the help of his first love, he would have given up like other trainees who couldn't make it, and he wouldn't be where he is today.
At that time, Xiang Mingxu also sincerely promised his first love that he would only marry her and would never break up with her.
He may have had a pure heart, but he was immersed in the entertainment industry, a big dye vat and a turbulent and flashy world of fame and fortune.
Unfortunately, immersed in fame, fortune and wealth, he failed to stick to his original intention and bottom line, and soon he fell into the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry.
On the one hand, he was reluctant to give up the relationship with his first love of many years, and on the other hand, he could not resist the temptation in the circle.
It's not just the temptation of beauty, but also the temptation of power and resources.
Just like the rich lady who came with them this time, she is of Chinese descent. Her father is the richest man in a Southeast Asian country and she also has a lot of assets in the country.
The young rich woman was infatuated with Xiang Mingxu. After seeing him play a supporting role, she became obsessed with him. She traveled thousands of miles back to China and used all her father's resources to support Xiang Mingxu.
Who can refuse such a young and beautiful rich woman who provides money and resources?
The rich young woman acted decisively and quickly arranged a drama for Xiang Mingxu, including "The Moon Is Clear and the Flower Is Beautiful" which had previously made him famous, and "The Journey of the Eternal Dream" which is currently on the air.
It made Xiang Mingxu go from an unknown supporting role to a popular traffic star.
The two of them naturally hooked up.
The rich young woman grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and was generous and willing to spend money, but her temper was also extremely difficult to please.
The young rich woman not only has a bad temper, but is also very jealous. She cannot stand seeing any opposite sex around Xiang Mingxu, so she follows Xiang Mingxu very closely and follows him wherever there is an announcement.
For example, among the group of people who came this time, only Mr. Yang and a male assistant were from Xiang Mingxu's team, and the rest were people brought by the rich woman.
As the financial sponsor, the rich young woman spent a lot of money and even became Mingxu's assistant. Naturally, she would let the pretty boy serve her well after closing the door.
This is why we had 3+2 last night and this morning.
Xiang Mingxu had to do the tasks assigned by the financial sponsor no matter how reluctant he was, even if it was just taking medicine, he had to complete it with guaranteed quality and quantity.
Mr. Yang had not yet recovered from the shock and was mumbling, not knowing what to say.
The door of the private room was suddenly opened.
The person who came was the assistant who followed Xiang Mingxu last night, who was also Xiang Mingxu's financial backer, a wealthy woman from Southeast Asia.
The wealthy young woman, accompanied by her own men, was furious. "What did I just hear? You said he prefers the girl from last week? He's only with me because of drugs?"
Although the young rich woman spoke in a bad tone, it was definitely not directed at Bai Jiesui. She was just seeking confirmation from her.
Bai Jiesui said seriously, "His pulse shows this. He took two pills last night and another one this morning. He didn't take any last week. The whole process was a natural reaction of his body. From this, I can infer that he must prefer the girl from last week."
Mr. Yang was the first to react and immediately put on a smile: "Miss Wu, don't listen to her nonsense. Our Mingxu only likes you. You have been with our Mingxu all this time. You know who he has met. There is no such thing as the girl from last week."
Miss Wu cursed, "Shut up, you lackey! Didn't you send me away all night last week? Don't think I'm stupid and rich and easy to fool. Even the experienced business people might not be able to outsmart me. My father's company has been generating revenue every year since I handed it over to him."
Mr. Yang didn't dare to show any temper towards this difficult ancestor and could only coax and persuade him.
"It's someone else who is pestering him. He has long wanted to stop associating with that woman." While speaking, Mr. Yang winked at Xiang Mingxu, asking him to speak up quickly and express his loyalty to the sponsor.
Xiang Mingxu certainly knew the importance of his financial sponsor, Ms. Wu.
At this moment, his acting skills reached their peak, and he sincerely assured her, "I didn't want to see her at first, but she said she was going back to get married and wanted to see me one last time, so I made an exception and went to see her. I also returned the money I had paid her over the years. From now on, she and I will have nothing to do with each other, and we will never see each other again."
Miss Wu waved her hand impatiently. She didn't care who Xiang Mingxu had in his heart, but she cared whether the man was clean when he was with her.
She is a free and easy woman with a lot of money. She doesn't think about love all day long. She looks for a partner just to make herself happy.
She had some interest in Xiang Mingxu before, so she was willing to play with him. When the novelty wore off, the worst that could happen was that they would go their separate ways and never see each other again.
What she hated most was being deceived and fooled, and the other party ignoring the contract between them. This was what Miss Wu could not tolerate the most.
After explaining to Xiang Mingxu for a long time, Miss Wu didn't listen to a word and only asked the questions that concerned her most.
"I just want to know, were you also entangled with other girls when you were with me? Did you really take drugs secretly before sleeping with me?"
Xiang Mingxu felt guilty and did not deny it in time. When he wanted to speak again, Miss Wu no longer wanted to listen to his explanation.
"Good job. I was wondering why you always lingered in the bathroom. Turns out you wanted to take medicine." Miss Wu sneered, crossed her arms proudly, and walked in front of Xiang Mingxu.
"If you couldn't do it, you should have told me earlier. I wouldn't have looked for you in the first place. I, Wu Peishan, have never slept with a man who needed to take medication. It's really bad luck. Telling others makes me seem unattractive."
Xiang Mingxu had probably never heard such harsh words before, or maybe it was because Miss Wu had been coaxing him before, so when Miss Wu suddenly changed her expression, he was at a loss as to what to say.
"Miss Wu, the vitamins I take are not medicine for that matter. You are very charming and a very beautiful girl."
Miss Wu's eyes were almost rolling to the sky.
"Please don't treat me like a naive person, okay? And don't think that just because I had a crush on you before, I'm in love and I'll believe everything you say. I watched your live broadcast and just listened to you outside for most of the day. And I even found this in the bathroom trash can this morning."
Miss Wu reached back and her people handed her a sealed plastic bag with a pill package inside, which she had someone dig out from the trash can.
When Xiang Mingxu saw the pill packaging, his pupils widened.
Miss Wu pinched a corner of the plastic bag with both hands with a look of disgust, and then threw it at Xiang Mingxu impatiently.
"With your little tricks, you still want to fool me?"
Even through the sealed plastic bag, Ms. Wu still felt disgusted. The two fingers that touched it were dirty, and she couldn't help shivering because of the disgust.
She saw the wet wipes at Bai Jiesui's place and asked in surprise, "Miss, can you give me a wet wipe?"
Bai Jiesui was packing her things. When she heard this, she looked up at her and gave her two without saying a word.
"Thank you." Miss Wu took it with a smile.
After wiping his hands, he threw the used tissue at Xiang Mingxu and his agent.
"Our relationship is over, but it's not over yet."
This is a very serious warning.
Because before they were together, Ms. Wu asked Xiang Mingxu for his medical health certificate and made him sign an agreement, guaranteeing that he would not have sex with a third party during their relationship.
Obviously Xiang Mingxu did not abide by the agreement.
Given Miss Wu's strong character, she will definitely not give up.
Alarm bells rang in Xiang Mingxu and his agent's hearts.
"Ms. Wu..." The two spoke at the same time, trying to keep Miss Wu.
But Miss Wu didn't even look at them, she just kept talking to Bai Jiesui in a wronged manner.
"Miss, could you please take some time to feel my pulse? I don't know if I've contracted any serious illness from him."
Xiang Mingxu's face flushed, his ears tinnitus, his vision went dark, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Since his debut, he has never felt as embarrassed as today.
