Social Death Patient 050
Zhuo Qi was almost going crazy outside. When she couldn't get through to Yan Yushan, she started calling Xiao Chu instead. However, even Xiao Chu didn't answer her call.
Feizhu TV station is too big, and she doesn’t know which room Yan Yushan is in, so she can only keep calling him.
As time passed, Zhuo Qi became more and more uncertain, imagining countless consequences that she did not want to see.
So when Bai Jiesui suddenly reappeared with Asan, Zhuo Qi looked at her nervously.
"He knows, right? You told him everything, right?" It was obvious that Zhuo Qi was scared.
Bai Jiesui finally realized today that Huaxin and her daughter had been bluffing all along.
No wonder I was so scared today.
But now it won’t just be Zhuo Qi who will be scared, Hua Xin will also be restless day and night.
Bai Jiesui chuckled mockingly and said deliberately, "So you and your mother have been hiding this from him."
Zhuo Qi took a deep breath and was speechless. He could only open his eyes wide in surprise.
When she came to her senses, Bai Jiesui had already left with the program crew.
Zhuo Qi has not given up looking for Yan Yushan, and Director Wang behind her is also looking for Yan Yushan.
After Director Wang repeatedly scolded the female hosts, he returned to the activity room and found that it was empty, with no one there.
Director Wang first scolded Zhuo Yongde who caused the trouble, and then picked up his phone to call Xiao Chu.
"Brother Xiao Chu, why did you leave without saying goodbye to Teacher Yan? I wanted to come and see you off in person... Oh, are you already on the way to the airport?" Director Wang looked embarrassed.
But now that things have come to this, I can only go along with it and say, "It's okay, it's okay. Work is more important. You and Teacher Yan should be careful. We will contact each other when Teacher Yan has time."
Director Wang hung up the phone in frustration, and when he looked up he saw Zhuo Qi standing in front of him.
He thought Zhuo Qi came to ask about Zhuo Yongde and was about to send her away.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Qi asked nervously, "Was Yan Yushan in this room just now?"
Zhuo Qi's nervousness made Director Wang feel inexplicably strange. She didn't know why she was so scared. Shouldn't she be most worried about Zhuo Yongde now?
Director Wang: "Yes, I brought them here, but they've already left."
Zhuo Qi looked at the distance between this activity room and the lounge outside, and she stood in front of the door that was only separated from the lounge by a wall.
You can clearly see outside from here, and Yan Yushan can clearly see that she is looking for him, but he just watches coldly and ignores her constant calls.
Zhuo Qi felt cold all over and his premonition became worse and worse.
She took the initiative to hang up the call that was not connected and called Hua Xin instead.
"Mom, something big happened."
"I've seen it. He's such a useless piece of trash." Hua Xin has seen the overwhelming news online. Zhuo Yongde has always said that he has a plan in mind and can control the overall situation, but in the end, people still discovered his embarrassing habit.
Hua Xin can only be thankful that she divorced early and that she discovered Zhuo Yongde's habit early, otherwise she would be really overwhelmed now.
She felt that she was really crazy. She shouldn't have had any expectations of Zhuo Yongde from the beginning, and believed that he could give resources and connections to Zhuo Qi.
Now it seems that as long as Zhuo Yongde doesn't implicate them, she will be grateful.
"Come back soon. Don't count on him. Just pretend you don't have a father like him. Not many people know about your relationship with him. If we don't tell anyone, not many people will know..."
"Mom, listen to me, I just saw Brother Xiao Chu."
Hua Xin was still giving Zhuo Qi a long speech to persuade him, but was stunned when he heard Xiao Chu's name.
Shouldn't Xiao Chu be on the plane back to the crew with Yan Yushan now? Why did Zhuo Qi see him?
"What did you say? Aren't you at Feizhu TV? Why is Xiaochu there?"
"Uncle Yan is here too. He came specifically to look for Bai Jiesui. They talked for more than ten minutes. Now I've called Uncle Yan but he hasn't answered..."
The mother and daughter tacitly agreed not to speak on the phone, but only they knew the turmoil in their hearts.
Hua Xin had experienced a lot and was calmer and composed than Zhuo Qi. She carefully asked Zhuo Qi for details.
She found that Zhuo Qi didn't know what they were talking about, and the current situation was just their speculation.
To be on the safe side, she did not call to find out Yan Yushan's opinion, but instead called Bai Jiesui, who she felt was easier to control.
Bai Jie Sui was still on her way back and was not surprised at all to see the call from Hua Xin.
But she didn't answer the phone immediately. After Hua Xin called impatiently three times, she slowly picked up the phone.
"Why did you take so long to answer the phone?" Hua Xin accused in a bad tone.
"Of course there are more important things. I have no obligation to put down my work. Let me answer your call first."
"Something more important? What is it?" It's no wonder Hua Xin was nervous. She was on edge and was indeed a little nervous.
Bai Jiesui said with a smile, "Why should I tell you about my own affairs? Speaking of which, I am actually quite concerned about your health. I wonder if your constipation has improved. But from what I hear, you seem to be more anxious and irritable than before. This is not conducive to your bowel movements. Do you need to come to me to get some medicine?"
Hua Xin had almost forgotten her embarrassing social failure, but now she was reminding herself again.
"Answer me properly. Don't forget that you took my money and we have a written contract."
"Auntie, isn't this a one-time deal? It's been so long, and you still want to come to after-sales service?"
Hua Xin sneered: "Really? But I noticed that you seem to have breached the contract."
Bai Jiesui said bewilderedly, "No, which agreement did I break?"
"Don't play dumb in front of me." Hua Xin was so angry that she paced back and forth in the office. "Don't think I don't know whether you just met Brother Yan."
"Oh, yes."
Hua Xin didn't expect her to answer so quickly without hesitation, but it was better this way, as it saved her the trouble.
"Very good, you admit it. You still remember the contents of our previous contract, right?"
"I know. I read it every night before going to bed to consolidate my memory, so that I won't accidentally break the contract. I can't afford such a large penalty."
Huaxin didn't hear her sarcasm, he was angry that she did it knowingly.
"Since you check in every night, you probably remembered that the contract says you can't meet."
"Auntie, do you have a bad memory? The contract says that I cannot take the initiative to meet him. You should know that. In fact, he came to me. I didn't know who the person was until I met him." Bai Jiesui said in a helpless tone.
Hua Xin found that he really had no way to deal with her.
This girl looks harmless, but she is actually very cunning. She has no background and no connections, yet she can appear on Green River's variety show.
He also relied on several popular influencers and became famous online with his own abilities.
Hua Xin realized that he had miscalculated and underestimated this little girl. She was different from what was shown in the information and was not a little girl who knew nothing.
Hua Xin has regretted countless times. He should not have drafted the contract so roughly because of time constraints. He should have broken down each situation into smaller details at the time to completely eliminate the possibility of them meeting.
Things have developed to the point where they are beyond Hua Xin's control. She lives in fear almost every day, but she has to continue to keep up the lie.
Hua Xin rubbed his aching head and asked, "You didn't tell him about your relationship with him, right?"
Bai Jiesui smiled and said, "Auntie, guess what?"
"I don't want to play this boring game with you!" Hua Xin finally lost his temper and overturned the documents on his desk to the ground.
Through the office door, the employees outside could hear her angry roar.
The studio employees were silent and asked each other about the situation.
"What's wrong? Who offended her?"
"Didn't you see the news about her ex-husband? He likes to collect young girls' stockings. What a pervert."
"Oh my god, Zhuo Yongde is her ex-husband? Now I remember, isn't her daughter's last name Zhuo? Why haven't I heard her mention him before?"
"Of course she's not happy with her marriage to Zhuo Yongde. You who came later don't understand the situation. Back then, everyone in the studio knew she was delusional and obsessed with our teacher Yan."
The people around opened their mouths in surprise. Hua Xin was indeed delusional and courageous enough to actually covet Yan Yushan, this big piece of fat meat. They didn't even dare to think about it. They were already satisfied to be able to see Teacher Yan from time to time.
The person who knew the inside story continued, "Teacher Yan felt that she had bad intentions and had always wanted to fire her, but because of Sister Tao Zi's relationship, he didn't find the right opportunity. Then, for some reason, she suddenly met Zhuo Yongde, and not long after, the two got married. Teacher Yan thought that she would change her mind after marriage, so he didn't insist on letting her go. But our people before us always thought that she only married Zhuo Yongde so that she could stay. Otherwise, why would she divorce so quickly, in less than a year..."
"Although Zhuo Yongde is not ugly, there is no comparison with our teacher Yan. Her aesthetic standards have deteriorated significantly."
"That's not because her taste has declined. From what I heard, she accidentally slept with Zhuo Yongde after drinking, and they got married because of pregnancy."
"Now that you mention it, it's unclear who's taking advantage of whom. Zhuo Yongde's status back then was much better than it is now..."
Hua Xin didn't know that her colleagues outside were gossiping about her.
She ignored the papers scattered on the floor and walked over them irritably.
"Let me guess, you're admitting that you've breached the contract, right?"
"I didn't say that."
"You didn't say?" Hua Xin frowned.
"But I'm not sure if he can guess it himself." Bai Jiesui said with an amused smile, "Auntie, aren't you his girlfriend? You should be the one who knows him best. Do you think he's a smart person?"
Hua Xin was suddenly stunned by her question.
Bai Jiesui didn't give Huaxin a chance to speak and hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
Huaxin was left staring blankly at the dead tone on the phone.
Bai Jiesui is really good at stimulating her and also knows how to find Hua Xin's pain points.
How could Hua Xin not know whether Yan Yushan was a smart person? Even if you don’t ask Hua Xin, if you ask anyone, no one would say that Yan Yushan was stupid.
Hua Xin didn't know what they talked about today, how much valuable things they talked about, when Yan Yushan would find out, or maybe he had already found out but chose to hide it for some concerns.
This period of unknown time is like the sword of Damocles hanging over Hua Xin's head, and she never knows when the sword will fall.
I can only live in fear every day.
The more Hua Xin thought about it, the more upset she became. Her head felt like it was about to explode. She wanted to call Yan Yushan to find out, but she didn't dare to.
She repeatedly opened the phone book and then exited it, repeating the action over and over again, showing her inner fear and entanglement.
The purpose of keeping them restless day and night was undoubtedly achieved.
Bai Jiesui smiled at the photo and then carefully put it in her bag.
The young director in front turned around and said, "Teacher Xiaobai, you know what? I just asked the company. It turns out that Zhuo Yongde called the company himself and, through his connections with the company's senior management, he wanted us to go to his place to record the show."
"Later on, I discovered he kept encouraging other new TV hosts to come to me for treatment, while he himself tried to avoid it whenever possible. That wasn't normal in the first place."
At the beginning, Bai Jiesui was also deceived by Zhuo Yongde, and really thought that he was a good leader who was compassionate and caring about his subordinates. In fact, he just wanted to take his subordinates as his scapegoat.
In hindsight, he made too many confusing moves.
The young director knew the rules well and sighed in disappointment, "But I don't think he'll have any impact. It's hard to say about today's new hosts. They'll definitely be silenced and won't dare say anything negative about Zhuo Yongde online."
Ah Can said disdainfully: "Based on our Sui Sui's diagnosis, it doesn't matter if he didn't come out to identify him. It is an indisputable fact that he cheated young girls of their stockings."
Director: "Little Assistant, you are still too young and don't understand the dangers of the world. They are capable of twisting right and wrong. As long as no one dares to stand up and confront Zhuo Yongde, the truth will be arbitrarily spun by them. The final say is in their hands."
Asan frowned. He had indeed never seen the public relations capabilities of the entertainment industry.
Bai Jiesui: "Director Xiao Yang is right. They are the victims. But if the victims themselves don't dare to stand up and fight for their rights, there's little we, as outsiders, can do."
Director Xiao Yang nodded vigorously.
Ah Can: "So the matter of him stealing the stockings can only be forgotten in the end?"
Bai Jiesui chuckled softly. "I don't care what they plan, but I will stick to my diagnosis. No matter how Zhuo Yongde tries to argue, I will let everyone know that he likes to sniff young girls' stockings. I will make every girl in the future be wary of him and won't let him take advantage of them again."
Director Xiao Yang gave her a thumbs-up: "That's enough, Teacher Xiaobai, you're so handsome!"
The result was just as the director girl said.
The official account of Feizhu TV issued an urgent notice, saying that the station would conduct an internal investigation and asked netizens to wait patiently for the results of the investigation.
No matter how heated the discussion among netizens was, the parties involved never stood up to speak.
Because except for Hu Yang, everyone else's work was urgently stopped.
The three of them were newcomers and hadn't officially started their work yet, so it was normal to replace them temporarily.
With such a big thing happening at the station, the senior executives of Feizhu Station rushed back immediately.
Director Zhang was very angry and called Zhuo Yongde to his office and gave him a good scolding.
But what made the top management most angry were the female hosts who spoke nonsense.
Since they are from the TV station, they should know that everything should be based on the interests of the TV station. No matter what they say or do, they should stand on the TV station's side and maintain the reputation of the TV station.
Director Zhang rushed back, thinking he could meet Yan Yushan, but who could have imagined that such a huge mess was waiting for him when he returned.
"Do you realize that your actions today are bringing shame upon the TV station? Is there anything you can't discuss privately? If you encounter difficulties, don't you know to come to me? Why are you spouting nonsense on live TV?"
Lin Qiuyi, who was straightforward in character, almost retorted on the spot. Why did the leaders of the station indiscriminately shift the responsibility to them? They were obviously the victims. She was almost sick to death, but the station didn't care about them and even blamed them.
Hu Yang gently pulled Lin Qiuyi aside. Lin Qiuyi and the others were too young and were no match for the leader. If they continued to express their emotions, they would end up suffering in the end.
Hu Yang remained calm and decisive, striking back with a deft, decisive blow: "Director Zhang, we didn't say anything, did we? It seems Director Zhuo was the one who called Dr. Bai here. He got himself into trouble. I even spoke up for Director Zhuo."
How could Director Zhang not know who caused the trouble? This time, Zhuo Yongde ended up losing more than he gained.
He wanted to become famous again and even contacted the station.
The female hosts have fallen on hard times, but isn't it the station that suffers in the end?
Zhuo Yongde deserves the misfortune for his selfish behavior. He deserves it.
Director Zhang didn't want to get involved, but he had no choice. Zhuo Yongde had worked at the station for more than 40 years and was deeply tied to the TV station, making it impossible to completely cut off ties.
"I'm warning you all, everyone, watch your mouths and don't say anything you shouldn't. Especially you, Hu Yang. Don't think you can act recklessly just because you've found a new employer. Your file is still with the station. I don't want everyone to make things too ugly in the last two months."
Hu Yang curled his lips and said nothing, which was considered as agreeing with Director Zhang's words. As long as your vital points are in the hands of others, they will be able to strangle you to death.
The three newcomers followed Hu Yang like newly hatched chicks, wherever Hu Yang went, they went.
These people had never experienced anything serious and couldn't make up their own minds. Hu Yang knew that they wanted to hear his opinion.
But Hu Yang is very self-aware, so how could she be worthy of their trust?
Hu Yang looked up at the sky weakly, turned around and waved at them: "Don't follow me, go and do your own things."
Erya: "Sister Hu Yang, what do you think we should do?"
"I can't control what you want to do, and I can't help you."
The other three were very surprised.
Lin Qiuyi: "Sister Hu Yang, aren't you going to come with me and expose Director Zhuo?"
Hu Yang thought that if she was willing to risk her life to expose Zhuo Yongde, she would have done so five years ago.
So many people before her didn't stand up, why should she be the first to do so?
Hu Yang is well aware of his shortcomings and does not intend to pretend or hypocritically elevate his character.
"You've probably noticed before, right? I'm not a warm-hearted person. Even though I knew Zhuo was a pervert, I never warned you. Ultimately, I'm a selfish person. I have to think about my future and my own interests. I'm not the brave hero in the story, and conquering a dragon isn't something I want to do. I just want to protect myself. Do you understand?"
Hu Yang's frank self-analysis silenced the other three people.
They can understand it intellectually, but they cannot accept it emotionally.
Lin Qiuyi looked at Hu Yang in disbelief, as if it was the first day she met her.
"Just now you helped me block the conversation, and I thought you were our comrade. I really misjudged you."
Hu Yang smiled faintly. "I'm your comrade-in-arms, and I'm willing to provide you with information. Over the years, I've had some things that can serve as supporting evidence, but I can't speak publicly. I hope you can understand."
Lin Qiuyi rolled her eyes. "You just don't want to take responsibility, but you want to reap the benefits, right? You're clearly a victim yourself, but you don't have the courage to stand up and have to rely on others to help you out. You're such a coward!"
Hu Yang was not angry and agreed with Lin Qiuyi's accusation against him.
"You're right, I'm indeed a coward, so I really admire people like Dr. Bai who dare to speak out. She has the ability and is not afraid of offending others. Even if I have the same ability as her, I might not dare to speak out if I find out other people's private affairs."
Lin Qiuyi couldn't stand her comparing herself to white mustard.
"That's a blessing! Fortunately, Dr. Bai is not like you, otherwise it would be a real tragedy."
Hu Yang: "Qiuyi, I admire you too. You are a person who dares to speak and act. Not everyone has your courage."
Lin Qiuyi thought she was mocking her and was about to fight back, but was stopped by Yu Man.
"Qiuyi, stop talking. Everyone has their own concerns and difficulties. Don't impose your own ideas on others. We should respect everyone's choices."
Lin Qiuyi was not convinced and wanted to refute her point of view, but she heard Erya also say.
"Victims are always victims. Even if they fail to come forward due to their own considerations, we should not blame them. We only have one enemy: Zhuo Yongde, not victims like us."
Hu Yang's eyes moved slightly and his fingers curled up.
Although Lin Qiuyi was still a little unwilling, she had to admit that what they said made sense.
Zhuo Yongde was the one who did the disgusting thing. What's the point of her criticizing Hu Yang here?
"Okay, I have nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, I haven't been promoted yet. Even if no TV station wants me in the future and I can't be a host, the worst that can happen is that I can go home and inherit the family property."
Yu Man was surprised: "I didn't realize that Qiu Yi, you are a rich second generation?"
Lin Qiuyi shrugged speechlessly. "What second-generation rich kid? Inheriting the family fortune is a joke. My family owns a snack shop, and my parents are too busy to manage it. They keep asking me to go back and help them, saying being a field host is too tiring, traveling all over the country. The background picture of my WeChat Moments is my family's snack shop, and I even came up with the name."
As she spoke, Lin Qiuyi took out the photo of the snack shop and showed it to Yu Man.
Yu Man: "Wow, such a big store. If I can't find a TV station to hire me, can Boss Lin take me in? My requirements are not high, as long as I don't starve to death."
Lin Qiuyi: "Sure, my parents are planning to open a new store in the university town. When the time comes, you can come and work with me. Let's not talk about who works for whom. We can split the profits. As long as we are not afraid of hard work, we will definitely make money."
They were clearly discussing a serious topic that would definitely be a fatal disaster for Hu Yang, but they didn't seem to realize it.
The two people's optimistic attitude and happy atmosphere infected Hu Yang, making her think, is it worth it for her to swallow her anger and let Zhuo Yongde harm the newcomers for the sake of a glamorous identity as a host?
Does she have to be a supporting role? Can't she do something else if she doesn't want to be the host?
When Hu Yang's thoughts began to change, he heard Erya's exclamation.
"Look, Dr. Bai has posted new updates online."
Lin Qiuyi: "Ah, what did you say?"
Erya showed them her cell phone.
[Popular Science of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Xiaobai V]: I think there must be many different opinions on my diagnosis today, but I still say that I will be responsible for every diagnosis I make, and every conclusion I make is the result of my careful pulse diagnosis. I also hope that everyone will be vigilant and beware of people around them with bad intentions.
She didn't mention Zhuo Yongde in every sentence, but it seemed as if she mentioned Zhuo Yongde in every sentence.
Regardless of whether the victims will come forward or not, she first tells everyone that Zhuo Yongde secretly collects and smells stockings, and there are countless victims behind this.
Netizens who have been wandering on the Internet for a long time without waiting for the victims to speak out have finally found a home this time.
[Teacher Xiaobai is worthy of you. I didn't fall in love with the wrong person [bites handkerchief]. You are the only one who dares to stand up and expose Zhuo Yongde.]
Zhuo Yongde has been stealing stockings for a long time, and no one has dared to say a word. It's all because of the victim's indulgence. Are they unwilling to accept that they are the only ones who have encountered perverts, and want others to encounter perverts like them?
[Everyone needs to be more understanding. After all, we are all adults. There are many things that we cannot do as we please. There are many things that we need to consider. Moreover, Zhuo Yongde has great power and influence in Feizhutai. Who among the newcomers dares to confront him head-on?]
I understand the logic, but I still hope the victims can come forward and not hide behind Teacher Xiaobai like turtles.
[To be honest, those who can't defend their own rights deserve it. They can't figure it out themselves and expect others to do the same. Let's all just go our separate ways.]
Don't put pressure on the victims. They haven't done anything wrong, and it's not their fault they have a perverted boss.
[That's right, everyone should give them more time. It takes a lot of courage for victims to speak out.]
[Whether or not anyone speaks up is irrelevant; what's important is that they stay away from perverts in the future. Zhuo Yongde must receive the punishment he deserves!]
Seeing some netizens standing on their side and speaking for them sincerely, Hu Yang's calm heart finally began to waver.
At this moment, she really couldn't sit still anymore. She wanted to stand up regardless of the consequences and speak up for her rights.
