Social Death Patient 046
Zhuo Yongde really wanted to say that he didn't want to treat Bai Jiesui, and told people around him not to worry about him, as he would be fine after coughing a few times.
But he was coughing violently and could not utter a complete sentence. He could only keep waving his hands to express his meaning.
He immediately turned off the microphone on his clothes, covered his mouth, and hunched his back as he retreated out of the camera to prevent himself from being captured.
The three new hosts were extremely anxious and kept trying to persuade Zhuo Yongde, and they had even followed him out of the camera.
Erya: "Director Zhuo, please let Doctor Bai take a look. It won't take much time. You are so worried about our little problems, but why don't you care about yourself at all? You should take better care of your health than us."
Lin Qiuyi: "Doctor Bai is right. Your cough is definitely not just caused by chronic pharyngitis. We must carefully investigate the cause of your illness."
Yu Man: "Your coughing like this is not a solution. Not only will it affect your work, it's also bad for your health. Please listen to us, otherwise we are really worried."
A few people were like sparrows, chirping around Zhuo Yongde, talking about a lot of big principles, which made Zhuo Yongde annoyed.
The problem is that he can't speak complete sentences now. No matter how eloquent he is, or how well he can control the situation and grasp the rhythm, he has no chance to escape.
He wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was stopped by Lin Qiuyi.
"Director Zhuo, I'm not afraid of offending you. You must see this patient today. If you don't let Doctor Bai see it, I won't let you leave."
Seeing this, the other two people also followed Lin Qiuyi's example and stood in front of Zhuo Yongde, completely blocking his escape route.
Zhuo Yongde was so angry that he wanted to curse. These girls actually wanted to repay kindness with enmity.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even curse now. Instead, he was so angry that he coughed even more violently. His face turned red and he almost got a stitch in his side.
Hu Yang watched the show for a long time before taking the opportunity to greet the staff nearby.
"Young and strong man, come and lend a hand and bring our Director Zhuo over to Dr. Bai. Our Director Zhuo is just like that. He is always afraid of causing trouble to others. He would rather suffer a loss and work hard than trouble others. If no one forces him, he may never think of himself."
Director Gao felt that what Hu Yang said made a lot of sense. In addition, he also admired Zhuo Yongde's artistic ethics and had great respect for Zhuo Yongde. He hoped that Zhuo Yongde could recover his health soon.
He quickly called two young men from the team, both of whom were strong men over 1.8 meters tall and weighed over 160 kilograms.
Zhuo Yongde, a medium-sized old man in his sixties, was no match for the two strong men.
He was easily carried to Bai Jiesui like a chicken.
Zhuo Yongde noticed Zhuo Qi and kept winking at her, hoping that she would stand up and stop it.
No matter what, Zhuo Qi was his immediate family member present. As long as she was firm enough, she had the right to stop them from forcing her to receive medical treatment.
However, Zhuo Qi had no intention of standing up. It was not that she did not want to stand up, but she was also afraid that Zhuo Yongde would be embarrassed in public.
But she didn't want to be photographed. The Internet had finally forgotten about her, and now she was in the same frame with Bai Jiesui, wouldn't this be forcibly evoking netizens' memories?
So Zhuo Qi could only worry outside the camera, watching Zhuo Yongde being pressed in front of Bai Jiesui, unable to run away even if he wanted to.
Zhuo Qi had no choice but to put her hope on Zhuo Yongde himself, hoping that Zhuo Yongde would not embarrass her and that it would be best if it was only a lung problem.
Zhuo Yongde felt that he was coughing and his body was out of control. It was definitely inconvenient for Bai Jiesui to take his pulse. Even if she wanted to, she might not be able to do it accurately.
Who would have thought that Bai Jiesui did not take his pulse immediately, but took out an acupuncture needle to relieve his cough first.
At first Zhuo Yongde didn't want to cooperate, but he heard Bai Jiesui giving orders to the two strong men from the program team.
"I'm going to give Director Zhuo acupuncture. Please hold him tighter. It's very dangerous if you insert the needle in the wrong spot." She then gave a real-life example. "Back in our school, a senior student was practicing acupuncture. He inserted the needle in the wrong spot and caused hemiplegia in his partner. Several teachers in the department worked together to give the other student over a hundred needles before he was able to save him."
Zhuo Yongde was really frightened by her. He didn't dare to tremble anymore and tried hard to hold his breath to prevent himself from coughing, so as to avoid the white mustard spike from piercing the wrong acupoint.
While Bai Jiesui was giving Zhuo Yongde an injection to relieve his cough, Yan Yushan also arrived at the TV station in his car.
The deputy director specially sent someone to pick them up in the underground garage.
This was Yan Yushan's first time at Feizhu TV. Since he rarely appeared anywhere other than on screen, he actually didn't have many acquaintances at the TV station.
But he had a wide network of other contacts, so it was easy for him to contact the deputy director.
The deputy director had admired him for a long time and was very enthusiastic on the phone. Although Yan Yushan did not say specifically what the matter was, he still agreed to Yan Yushan's request.
If Yan Yushan was not in the station due to a meeting, the deputy director would have personally come to the garage to pick him up.
Even if he was busy and couldn't come in person, he would still send his most capable assistant.
The person sent by the deputy director was a department director named Wang.
Being valued by the deputy director, Director Wang must be a very capable person. He had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and enthusiastically opened the car door for them and helped them press the elevator button.
Xiao Chu said, "Director Wang, you don't have to be so polite. I'll do it for you."
In the end, I still couldn't snatch it from Director Wang.
Director Wang: "Teacher Yan, it would have been better if you had called earlier. Director Zhang just left not long ago."
Yan Yushan said politely, "No need to trouble Director Zhang. I came here today for a personal matter. If it wasn't urgent, I wouldn't want to bother Director Zhang."
Director Wang said, "Teacher Yan, you're welcome. It's not a big deal. It's just that the timing is not right. Otherwise, our Director Zhang would like to come in person and give Teacher Yan a proper reception."
Although he had already informed Director Zhang before, for safety reasons, Yan Yushan still confirmed it with Director Wang again.
"I hope I didn't alarm anyone else. I'm on a private trip today and don't want to be noticed by too many people."
Director Wang quickly replied, "No, no, absolutely not. Director Zhang only informed me, and no one else knew about Teacher Yan's schedule."
How could he let others know about the secret reception of Yan Yushan? He had to sell this favor to Director Zhang. If others knew about it, it would be hard to say who got the favor.
Director Wang kept in mind what Director Zhang had said to him and tried to get in touch with Yan Yushan as much as possible in private. After all, such an opportunity was rare.
"Who is Teacher Yan looking for in our office?"
Director Zhang tried to inquire indirectly, but Yan Yushan didn't reveal a single word, let alone in front of Director Wang.
Moreover, he was not in a position to reveal his purpose today. It was not because he was afraid of people discovering his past deeds, but because there were still too many mysteries that had not been solved, and he did not want to cause trouble for Xiaobai out of thin air.
Given his status, if he went to find Bai Jiesui without any warning, someone would definitely make a fuss about it.
So he didn't directly mention Bai Jiesui's name, and used Gao Dao to deal with the matter.
"I have some personal matters to discuss with Director Gao Sheng of Green River. I heard he is filming a program at your station."
Although Director Wang couldn't figure out the connection between Yan Yushan and Director Gao, he didn't think much about it because the explanation was relatively reasonable.
Director Wang is now only thinking about how to keep Yan Yushan. They all sit down and chat. It would be great if they can arrange a date for him to be interviewed by their station.
"I wonder if Teacher Yan has any other plans today. I just got some good tea and I'd like to have Teacher Yan taste it with me."
Yan Yushan knew Director Wang's plan clearly. Others warmly welcomed him today, naturally because they wanted to get some benefits.
"Maybe not today. I have to catch a flight back to the crew soon, and I can't affect the filming. Once my crew finishes filming, I'll treat you and Director Zhang to dinner."
This is exactly what Director Wang wanted to hear. Yan Yushan was able to host a dinner, which was much more formal than having tea.
Director Wang was genuinely happy at the moment, and he knew they didn't want to be seen, so he carefully took them away from other people in the studio.
However, no matter how careful they were, they still encountered people.
Just as they were about to arrive, two people suddenly called Director Wang.
The two of them were from the same department as Director Wang, and happened to have something to ask Director Wang.
"Director Wang, we have a new program plan. Are you free now?"
Director Wang's reaction was faster than Xiao Chu's. He dodged and blocked Yan Yushan, protecting him and pushing him into a room next door.
Xiao Chu didn't waste any time and followed him into the room without saying a word.
The two people who caught up looked into the room curiously, although the door was closed and they couldn't see anything.
"Director Wang, who was that person with you just now? He doesn't seem to be from our office."
Director Wang took the plan, lowered his head and looked through it without answering them.
One person murmured thoughtfully, "Why do I feel that one of them looks a bit like Yan Yushan?"
Director Wang was immediately frightened.
However, before Director Wang could deny it, another person had already denied it for him.
"What are you looking at? How could Teacher Yan Yushan possibly come to our studio?"
"Of course I know. Yan Yushan rarely appears in public. Even people in the industry find it difficult to see him, let alone sneak into our station. That's why I said he looks like him. Didn't you notice the quarter-section of that person's face just now? They really look alike."
After being reminded by him, the other person recalled it and felt that it was somewhat similar.
"You know what, they do look a bit alike. They're about the same height and build."
"By the way, Director Wang, was the person who just came in your friend? Doesn't he look a lot like Teacher Yan Yushan?"
The two were extremely excited. Yan Yushan had fans all over the country, and many of them dreamed of meeting him.
Even if they couldn't see Yan Yushan himself, seeing someone who looked like him was enough to excite them.
Director Wang flatly denied it: "What's the resemblance? He is just me, he doesn't look like anyone else."
As he said this, he slapped the folder containing the plan into the arms of one of them.
"I have something else to do. Leave the plan on my desk. I'll take a look at it when I get back."
The two men didn't believe what Director Wang said. They saw it with their own eyes and it was clearly very similar, but Director Wang refused to admit it.
But they couldn't force their way in, so they could only look back every three steps and leave reluctantly.
After the two men walked away with the plan, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and pushed open the door behind him.
Yan Yushan and Xiao Chu were both standing in front of another door, concentrating on observing the situation outside through the 14-inch square glass window on the door.
This room has two doors. The other door opens to the central lounge where Bai Jiesui records the show.
"Teacher Yan, why are you looking through this small window?" Director Wang walked over and put his hand on the door handle, wanting to open the door so that they could see more clearly.
The next second, Yan Yushan held his hand.
"Don't disturb them, we'll just watch from here."
"Ah?" Director Wang couldn't understand.
I have never heard of Gao Sheng as a famous director, and it is impossible for a famous director to condescend to film a variety show.
It was strange enough that Yan Yushan specially chased to the recording site to find Gao Sheng. Now that he found him, he was still unwilling to disturb him and chose to watch them work silently from behind.
Director Wang silently took out his mobile phone and started searching for "Gao Sheng" on the Internet, wanting to know who this "Gao Sheng" was.
As a result, I only found a few pitiful encyclopedia introductions. The most representative one was that he was filming this program. Facts proved that Gao Sheng was not a big shot.
Director Wang was looking up information in the back, while Yan Yushan's eyes were fixed on Bai Jiesui, observing and sizing her up.
He was in the perfect position, facing the right angle, with no cameras from the production team blocking his view, and he could just see Bai Jiesui's entire face.
Looking at her in real life, Yan Yushan felt that she looked more like Bai Shuang.
Her every move, the sound of her voice and some lively little expressions made Yan Yushan feel as if he saw Bai Shuang from more than 20 years ago.
At that moment he really had a strong intuition that she was Bai Shuang's daughter.
The excitement made him unable to calm down for a moment, and he almost pushed the door open and walked out.
As he grasped the door handle, he suddenly calmed down and realized that now was not the time.
He let go of the door handle, and his free hand clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched again.
Repeating the same mechanical movements over and over again just to relieve the tension in my heart.
Xiao Chu next to him had already noticed his abnormality.
To be honest, Xiao Chu has been with him for more than ten years. In his impression, Yan Yushan is always calm and composed, as if nothing can stump him. He has never seen him so nervous and abnormal.
Xiao Chu thought of an accident many years ago. Yan Yushan was accidentally injured in the eye by the shock wave of explosives during filming. The doctors were not sure when he would recover his sight. Everyone was almost scared to death at that time. Even Xiao Chu couldn't sleep well for nights. Only he could be as steady as a rock, eat and sleep very calmly, and sometimes he would even comfort them in return.
Over the years, he has witnessed many strange events while following Yan Yushan.
After filming began, the original investor suddenly withdrew his funding, forcing Yan Yushan to raise the money himself to finish the film. An unscrupulous staff member resold confidential content, causing him and the crew to suffer heavy losses. A hotel waiter also sold his room number to a sasaeng fan at a high price, who then sneaked into his room while he was away.
Such bizarre incidents kept happening one after another, and Xiao Chu couldn't help but get angry when he saw them.
But Yan Yushan will handle it calmly. In his opinion, he can solve these problems. It is more important to deal with the problems than to get angry.
Xiao Chu couldn't imagine who or what could make Yan Yushan suddenly behave so abnormally.
But Xiao Chu felt that he might know after a while.
Outside the door, Bai Jiesui had already stopped Zhuo Yongde's cough.
Zhuo Yongde felt like he was reborn and finally felt alive. He coughed so hard that he almost died.
He was about to speak when he was stopped by Bai Jiesui.
"Director Zhuo, please don't talk for now. Rest for a while and drink some water."
It was impossible to keep Zhuo Yongde silent, so he took a sip of water and tried to excuse himself.
"I just couldn't catch my breath, but I'm fine now. I'm sure I took up quite a bit of your time. I'll go get the others for you."
But the two strong men from the program team were still in front of him, and Zhuo Yongde couldn't leave at all.
Zhuo Yongde said seriously, "To be honest, I have a doctor and I go for regular checkups. If I had any problems, my doctor would have told me directly. It's impossible that I didn't know. Besides, I have already made an appointment with the doctor for next weekend. There's really no need to waste everyone's time here."
He thought his rhetoric was impeccable and others would surely be at a loss for words.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jiesui said, "Director Zhuo, you have no choice but to wait. The acupuncture in your acupoint will take a while. I only temporarily stopped your cough. You will continue to cough after the needle is removed. The acupuncture treatment lasts for 30 minutes. You'd better sit down."
Zhuo Yongde: "Then I'll go wait over there."
Bai Jiesui frowned in confusion. "Director Zhuo, you're a bit stubborn. I know you have your own doctor, but he's not here right now and can't help you with the immediate problem. Are you going to put off any emergency until next week? Besides that one doctor, you won't let anyone else see you?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. No matter how good the impression Zhuo Yongde gave people, being too stubborn would still disgust people.
I really don't understand. It obviously only took a few minutes, but Zhuo Yongde insisted on saying that it was a waste of everyone's time. If he hadn't said so much nonsense, Teacher Xiaobai would have finished showing him the whole thing long ago.
I've seen elderly people as stubborn as him. They have low emotional intelligence and are single-minded. They can't tell good words from bad, making communication with them very difficult. However, Mr. Zhuo has been a host for over 40 years, and it's well known that he has a very high emotional intelligence. He shouldn't be so stubborn, especially since we're all concerned about his health.
I'm so impatient I can't bear it any longer. Teacher Zhuo, can you please listen to everyone's opinions? We just want you to be healthy, not to go through fire and water. Can't you just accept everyone's kindness?
I have a bold guess: Zhuo Yongde wouldn't, and wouldn't, dare to let Teacher Xiaobai take his pulse. [Scared]
How could he be afraid of having his pulse taken? Teacher Zhuo is just afraid of causing trouble for others. I understand very well because I am the same person. I would rather pay for seeing a doctor myself than owe others a favor.
Zhuo Yongde is eloquent and not one of you socially anxious people. As a veteran in the hosting industry, why would he hesitate because of a few personal relationships? Anyway, his behavior is a bit strange. I'll observe him for a while.
Zhuo Yongde had thought of every possible trick, and he knew that if he continued to refuse like this, it would inevitably arouse some suspicion.
In the end, he couldn't escape and was forced to let Bai Jiesui take his pulse.
What Zhuo Yongde was most worried about was that his little quirk would be discovered, but at the same time he felt that Bai Jiesui might not be that magical, and she couldn't read minds, so it was unlikely that she would discover even his little quirk.
Under Zhuo Yongde's constant self-suggestion, he gradually relaxed.
As soon as Bai Jiesui took Zhuo Yongde's pulse, he had an expression that said, "As expected."
"Your lung problem is indeed an old one, it's been going on forty or fifty years."
Zhuo Yongde: "How could it be that early? I only started feeling uncomfortable after I started smoking. It's been more than 30 years, not even 40 years."
Bai Jiesui said firmly, "Yes, but you didn't pay much attention to it. You should also feel coughing, sore throat, fever, chest tightness, and sometimes shortness of breath."
Zhuo Yongde thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this the same as the symptoms of a cold?"
There are many patients like him who are careless. They will only pay attention when there are serious problems with their bodies. Bai Jiesui is no longer surprised by patients like him.
"Of course it's different. It's just that your carelessness made you mistakenly think it was a cold, and you never received proper treatment. Over the years, your lung infection has become quite serious. You now cough frequently and feel chest tightness, and you can't stop coughing. You have difficulty breathing and are short of breath. If you don't get treatment in time, you may even develop respiratory failure, which is life-threatening."
Older people are afraid to hear this, especially since it is all about Zhuo Yongde's symptoms.
He couldn't help but ask nervously, "Should I quit smoking?"
"You should quit the habit of smelling stinky socks." Bai Jiesui said helplessly.
"Although many people have the habit of smelling their socks, especially smelly socks that have been worn all day, there are countless fungi on worn socks, and some even have athlete's foot. The fungi on these socks can easily pass through the respiratory tract and infect your lungs. In addition, you have developed this habit for decades, which further increases your risk of fungal lung infection."
Zhuo Yongde's face changed slightly. Bai Jiesui actually discovered that he liked to smell stinky socks.
It turns out that his cough was caused by a fungal athlete's foot infection in his lungs?
Although Zhuo Yongde doesn't want others to discover this little habit, the current situation is still within his control.
Zhuo Yongde generously admitted: "I don't know when I developed this habit. If Dr. Xiaobai hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it was so dangerous. I will definitely quit the habit of smelling my own socks in the future."
Zhuo Yongde is not the only one who likes to smell stinky socks. Many people have this unconscious quirk, so they can relate to it very well.
[Hey man, I also like to smell my stinky socks that I have worn all day]
I not only like to smell my own stinky socks, but I also like to smell the various "treasures" I pick out of my body. The more I smell, the more addicted I become.
Is this a national quirk? Everyone in our dorm loves to smell it.
[Oh my god! I smell my own stinky socks every day. I wonder if my lungs are infected with athlete's foot too [scared]]
[I advise you to change this bad habit. The Chinese medicine lady is not trying to scare you. The lungs can really be infected with athlete's foot.]
The most embarrassed person at this time was not Zhuo Yongde, because some of the staff present also had this little quirk.
Especially the burly man from the program team standing next to Zhuo Yongde, his expression was quite complicated and serious, as if he was thinking about whether he had athlete's foot.
Zhuo Yongde thought he had escaped and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Jiesui tilted his head slightly, frowned, and thought for a moment before saying, "No, your feet don't have fungus or athlete's foot. You're not smelling your own socks... You should be smelling someone else's socks, and you've smelled the socks of many people..."
