Social Death Patient 056
The big fat tabby cat on the ground was still chasing the cat toy. Without any warning, the ball it was chasing suddenly stopped.
It used its claws to dig at the motionless feathers and balls on the ground, and meowed twice at the person holding the cat toy in front of it.
The person in front of him didn't react at all. He just laughed sarcastically and replied to the phone.
"A new trick this year?"
Xu Ze faced his ridicule very calmly: "Just wait, I'll give you some evidence."
After saying that, he turned on the camera function and secretly took a picture of the white mustard in the garden.
Although the face was not captured, it does not affect identity recognition at all.
By this time, Zong Jin had already hung up the phone.
As Xu Ze expected, if nothing unexpected happened, he might have blocked himself to prevent himself from trying to trick him again.
You are ignoring him now, right? He will want Zong Jin to call him back in person later.
After sending the photos he had just taken to Zong Jin, Xu Ze returned to the inner room.
"Brother, your smile is so weird." Xu Yi was frightened when he saw his expression.
Zong Qi was making a business call on his backup phone. When he saw Xu Ze coming back, he paused the call and asked Xu Ze about the situation.
"What did he say? Is he willing to come back?"
Xu Ze shook his head.
Zong Qi frowned slightly, it seemed that she had to do it herself.
"I'll tell him after I finish this business call."
"No need, he will call me back later and will agree to come back obediently." Xu Ze said confidently.
This confident look is completely different from the helpless Xu Ze before.
Zong Qi was about to ask why when Xu Ze's phone rang the next second.
Xu Ze glanced at the caller ID and smiled, "As expected."
He picked up the phone calmly. Before the other party could speak, he said slowly, "You know what you want to ask. You'll find out when you get here. The driver has been waiting for you downstairs for a long time."
He wasted no time and hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Zong Qi found it incredible: "He really wants to come back?"
"He will definitely get in the car. What I'm worried about now is that he's running too fast and can't catch his breath."
Zong Qi was skeptical about what he said. He quickly ended his business call and called Zong Jin's driver.
The driver’s response was: The young master is in the car and is receiving oxygen.
Xu Yi's eyes changed when he looked at Xu Ze: "Brother, it turns out you still have to take action."
Yang Yanwen checked the time, stood up, and said, "Since Zong Jin is willing to come back, I'm relieved. Doctor Zhou should be here soon. I'll go out and wait for him."
"I'll go with you." Xu Ze followed and prepared to leave.
Zong Qi: "Aze, please take good care of Mr. Yang. I have some work to attend to here, so I may have to excuse myself. I hope Mr. Yang will forgive me."
Yang Yanwen waved his hand and said, "No need to receive me. Go and do whatever you need."
In the end, Yang Yanwen could not refuse and was sent out by Xu Ze.
Xu Yi hated socializing and receptions the most, so he didn't follow Xu Ze. He stayed in the house reading a book and waiting for Zong Jin, ready to urge him to update his work as soon as he arrived.
When Xu Ze and Yang Yanwen passed by the garden, he looked over curiously and found that the white mustard man was gone.
Although he didn't know why Bai Jie Sui appeared here today, in order to ensure that everything was safe and sound, Zong Jin would not have to explain after he came back. He planned to go to the check-in office later to inquire about the situation. It would be best to find the person first and not let him leave early.
In fact, Bai Jiesui had also returned at this time. She had been out for quite some time and thought it was time to go back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the garden and crossed a pond, he met Zhang Ruhan head-on.
Zhang Ruhan was not alone. On his way here, he met an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time. They started chatting in the pavilion next to them.
When Bai Jiesui passed by, Zhang Ruhan was chatting happily with his friend and his friend's female companion.
She didn't want to say hello to Zhang Ruhan, and planned to use the osmanthus tree next to her to walk over quietly.
But Zhang Ruhan had good eyesight and saw her over the osmanthus tree.
He first called out to Bai Jie Sui loudly, but when she didn't respond, he quickly walked around and blocked her way, forcing Bai Jie Sui to stop.
"Is there anything wrong?" Bai Jiesui felt a headache when she saw him. She didn't know why he liked to talk to her so much.
Zhang Ruhan's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he asked her why she didn't follow him.
"Why did you leave without saying hello? Didn't I say I wanted to introduce you to someone? Do you know I've been looking for you for a long time?"
Bai Jiesui raised the corner of his mouth and smiled perfunctorily: "I don't have any achievements to show for myself. Why are you introducing me to others? Are you hanging out with someone like me who doesn't strive for progress? Aren't you afraid that those masters of traditional Chinese medicine will look down on you? They will definitely advise you to stay away from people like me."
Zhang Ruhan was suddenly choked by her words. These words seemed familiar. He seemed to have used similar words to talk about white mustard seeds before.
He stiffened his neck and said, "I'm helping you now, so you should seize the opportunity, otherwise you will never make any progress in your life."
At this time, Zhang Ruhan's friends also caught up.
"Who is this Ruhan? Why does he look familiar?"
This man's name was Wang Peng. He was a little older than Zhang Ruhan, of medium build, and starting to gain weight. He wore a Rolex on his wrist and had a luxury bag with big logos on it tucked under his arm. He didn't look like someone of the same type as Zhang Ruhan, but more like a small boss with considerable assets.
"What are you doing? Do you think every beautiful woman you see looks familiar?" His female companion Jiang Di started joking before she arrived.
Wang Peng ignored his female companion. Although he also thought the girl in front of him was very pretty, his curiosity about the answer surpassed his appreciation of beauty.
"I mean it, I've definitely seen her somewhere."
"This is my classmate." Zhang Ruhan explained casually, but he didn't intend to give too much introduction, and didn't even mention Bai Jiesui's name.
At this time, Jiang Di walked over wearing high heels and gracefully twisting her hips.
She was dressed very elegantly, wearing a small dress from a luxury brand and carrying a bag worth nearly 100,000 yuan. She crossed her arms, looked Bai Jiesui up and down, and then her eyes lit up.
"I see. The program you recorded is called 'Dr. Bai's Mobile Clinic', which is dedicated to treating patients."
After Jiang Di reminded him, Wang Peng suddenly realized: "No wonder it looks familiar. I've been pushing short videos to me for a while."
It clearly had nothing to do with Zhang Ruhan, but he acted as if he was the one who was embarrassed, and even spoke on behalf of Bai Jiesui.
"It's all for entertainment purposes. The production team chose her because of her good looks. The reality is different from what you see, and she's not as amazing as people say online."
Wang Peng had a look of astonishment on his face. He cleared his dry, itchy throat and said, "Of course I know that. I've seen at least eight hundred experienced Chinese medicine doctors, if not a thousand. Even the old doctor who sees patients in our clinic is a well-known doctor far and wide. How could I not know what a normal Chinese medicine doctor is like? And your teacher, Ruhan, isn't this amazing, is he?"
Zhang Ruhan smiled awkwardly. He felt embarrassed for Bai Jiesui. He didn't know how Bai Jiesui could remain calm.
Jiang Di: "It's not all entertainment, it seems quite real to me, and the results came out in the end. The last one is still in custody."
Wang Peng: "Do you understand Chinese medicine? If not, don't interrupt."
Jiang Di rolled her eyes, too lazy to talk to him, and stood up to admire her freshly done manicure alone.
Zhang Ruhan said truthfully: "The show is indeed a bit exaggerated, it's not her true level."
Wang Peng: "Ruhan, logically your classmates should all be pretty good, right? Why don't you just find a job at a hospital or a Chinese medicine clinic? Why go on TV and act mysteriously, catering to the lowbrow tastes of netizens? Isn't that just degrading yourself?"
Zhang Ruhan: "Her grades were average when she was in school, but now she is trying to improve herself."
Wang Peng was very surprised: "You still have classmates with average grades. I thought that all the people you knew, Ruhan, were top students."
Zhang Ruhan said with emotion, "Even though my classmates have average grades, we've been classmates for a few years. If they need any help, I'll definitely do my best to help them."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Bai Jiesui found it really interesting. These two people were determined to come and ridicule her.
There are also Zhang Ruohan’s friends who seem to have no sense of boundaries. They can give orders to strangers they meet for the first time. This is exactly the same as Zhang Ruohan.
"You are still like this." Wang Peng said to Zhang Ruhan.
Then he waved to Jiang Di, who, admiring the manicure, walked over reluctantly and listened to Wang Peng's introduction.
"My brother doesn't have any other shortcomings. Not to mention his medical skills, he's also a loyal person, though a little too loyal. He won't refuse anyone who asks him for help. He's the one who basically introduced jobs to his classmates."
Jiang Di looked at Zhang Ruhan and said jokingly, "I've gotten to know Doctor Zhang today. If one day I stop contacting Brother Wang and come to him for help, he won't refuse me, will he?"
"What are you talking about? Your new bag hasn't even arrived yet and you're thinking of sharing it with me?" Wang Peng was quite sensitive and felt that Jiang Di had embarrassed him.
Jiang Di smiled and patted Wang Peng, saying angrily, "I was just kidding. Brother Wang, why are you taking it so seriously? I was worried that you'd kick me out first. I heard that a beautiful female intern recently came to your Chinese medicine clinic on Huaixi Road. You've been going to Huaixi Road every day these past few days. Maybe you won't come to see me one day."
Wang Peng coughed guiltily twice: "Don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders. I went there to reconcile accounts and have serious things to do."
Jiang Di smiled twice without commenting, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he didn't.
Wang Peng ignored his female companion and continued talking about the white mustard spike.
"If you want to make a living as a Chinese medicine practitioner, you still need to learn more. You can't just entertain the public on TV. You still need a legitimate identity, such as being listed in some well-known Chinese medicine clinics. This will not only improve yourself, but also make it sound better when you appear on TV."
When he watched it on TV, he noticed that the white mustard seeds were growing well, and that the new female pharmacist in the clinic was definitely no match for her.
With a little selfish motive, Wang Peng extended an olive branch to Bai Jiesui.
"If you don't have any other place to register for the time being, you can register at my Chinese medicine clinic. Have you heard of Anhe Clinic? It's owned by my family."
Jiang Di knew too well that Wang Peng had other intentions. She laughed and said, "Brother Wang, how can you belittle other people's programs? We all love watching them, which means the program is well done. It also exposes many celebrities with bad tendencies."
Wang Peng: "What's the point of just having entertainment? The most important thing is to learn real skills from the old doctors. Can you keep doing it forever if you always focus on entertainment?"
"Brother Wang is right. You should learn more in the clinic." Zhang Ruhan followed up with this. If Bai Jiesui went to Wang Peng's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Seeing that they were about to arrange Bai Jiesui's work in unison, she smiled slightly and asked Wang Peng.
"So, do you guys want to try out the entertainment effects?"
"Try what?" Wang Peng asked.
"Don't you think that my pulse diagnosis is for entertainment? Do you want to have some fun now? But do you dare?"
She is least afraid of encountering people who question her, because she can convince the other party, especially when she thinks she can gain something from the other party.
"Why shouldn't I be afraid?" Wang Peng was amused. Bai Jiesui's suggestion just suited his taste. "You can take my pulse first. I want to see how good you are and how much difference there is between you and my old doctor."
As soon as they finished speaking, they walked towards the pavilion.
Zhang Ruhan walked beside Bai Jiesui and reminded her seriously: "You have to watch carefully, tell me what you know, and don't say anything you don't know. We are not recording a program now, this is related to your future work."
They were in the same class, and he knew Bai Jiesui's professional level too well. Her ability in taking a pulse was just enough to entertain the public, but she would be exposed in minutes in front of experts.
Although Wang Peng himself is not interested in traditional Chinese medicine and is focused on his own career, his family runs a traditional Chinese medicine clinic after all, so he is not an outsider who knows nothing.
Bai Jiesui was annoyed and said, "Why don't you come?"
Zhang Ruhan thought she was scared: "You didn't study hard in class before, and now you have stage fright? But you don't have to be too scared as I'm here. You can ask me if you don't understand something."
Bai Jiesui was so speechless that she didn't want to reply to him. She quickened her pace and left him behind.
Asan followed Bai Jiesui's footsteps closely. When passing by Zhang Ruhan, he turned his eyes to Zhang Ruhan and said something softly.
"You're so shameless."
Then he left Zhang Ruhan behind.
“…” Zhang Ruhan was so angry that he had no place to vent it.
He found that since he met Bai Jiesui recently, almost all of the anger he had suffered this year had been in these few days.
Bai Jiesui really doesn't know what's good for her. It's also because he has a good temper and a strong sense of responsibility. If it were someone else, they would have ignored her long ago.
Zhang Ruhan admired his own noble character, then adjusted his mood and followed.
There are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion, which are also left over from hundreds of years ago and are extremely exquisitely made by craftsmen.
Bai Jiesui and Wang Peng sat opposite each other, and the pulse pillow they would use soon was already placed on the stone table.
Wang Peng's female companion stood instead of sitting down, watching from the side with some excitement and curiosity.
It was her first time watching the live performance.
Although Wang Peng and Zhang Ruhan both looked down on Bai Jiesui for taking people's pulses on variety shows, they thought she was being mysterious and deceptive.
But Jiang Di, who actually watched the show, didn't think so. She always felt that Teacher Xiaobai was capable, otherwise so many guests wouldn't have failed in front of her.
Wang Peng and Zhang Ruhan were both too proud and conceited, and they didn't think carefully about it. If everything on the show was a script, who would be so stupid as to risk their own future to cooperate with Bai Jiesui to create the show effect.
Don’t you know that the most feared person in the entertainment industry right now is Bai Jiesui? Basically, everyone who goes to her for medical treatment is dead.
Jiang Di's gaze shifted to Wang Peng, and she was very much looking forward to Bai Jiesui revealing some of his private gossip later, which would give her a lot of fun.
She stood leaning against the pillar of the pavilion and waited silently.
Zhang Ruhan stood on the other side, but paced back and forth from time to time to relieve his inner anxiety.
He should be the most anxious person on the scene.
Why didn’t Bai Jiesui say anything? Didn’t she have anything to ask him? Could she understand Wang Peng’s pulse herself?
A few minutes later, when Wang Peng changed hands, Zhang Ruhan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
Bai Jiesui was silent for a moment: "Can you please stop hanging around in front of me? It's a bit of an eyesore."
Zhang Ruhan was silent for a long time and only uttered one sentence.
"You really don't know what's good for you. If you ask me later, I won't bother to tell you."
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked aside.
"Ruhan, don't be anxious. Let me see Miss Bai's strength first." Wang Peng said with a smile to smooth things over, and then turned his attention to Bai Jiesui opposite.
As he sat closer to her, he found that she was indeed more and more beautiful. All the girlfriends he had dated before could not compare to this Miss Bai in front of him.
Regardless of her medical skills, Wang Peng became more and more determined to recruit her to his own traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
While Bai Jiesui was still taking his pulse, he began to talk to her intentionally or unintentionally.
"Miss Bai, it's fate that we met today. You're Ruhan's classmate, so I won't make things difficult for you. Let's just go through the motions today, and then you can come directly to our Chinese medicine clinic. Besides my family's Chinese medicine clinic, I'm also in the import and export business. If you have any bags you like, just tell me and I'll have someone bring them back for you. You don't have to pay for it. Just consider it your joining gift."
From the moment she sat down, Bai Jiesui noticed that Wang Peng was always staring at her. If she still couldn't figure out what Wang Peng was thinking at this point, she would be a fool.
But she didn't show any rejection. Instead, she followed Wang Peng's words and asked with a smile, "Like the one in your hand, Boss Wang?"
Hearing Bai Jiesui ask this, Wang Peng became a little excited and casually slapped his bag on the table.
"My bag is not worth much..."
"Boss Wang," Bai Jiesui called out to him, "Put your bag down first."
Wang Peng thought she was worried about her bag. Although the money spent on the bag was nothing to him, he still put the bag away and tucked it under his arm and continued with his previous topic.
"My bag is not worth much. It only cost 30,000 or 50,000 yuan to make. It's just a bag you can pick up when you go out. You young girls should carry something better."
Then he pointed at Jiang Di's bag and asked attentively.
"Like the one she has in her hand, do you think this one is okay? If it is, I'll have someone buy it for you from abroad someday."
Jiang Di rolled his eyes to the sky and said, "Wang Peng, don't you look at what kind of person you are now? There's no way people would like you."
Bai Jiesui said with a half-smile, "Boss Wang, don't worry, I haven't started working yet."
"It's just a matter of words. If you want it, I'll give it to you whether you come to my Chinese medicine clinic or not. You can choose any luxury brand." Wang Peng said generously, and laughed at the end.
Zhang Ruhan couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why are you chatting about this? Don't you know you should concentrate on taking a pulse?"
Wang Peng was in a good mood, so he apologized readily: "Sorry, sorry, I started it."
"It's okay, I've already taken care of it." Bai Jiesui withdrew his hand.
"Then tell me, what did you find out?" Zhang Ruhan came over and said with the attitude of a teacher who was testing him.
Bai Jiesui ignored him and said to Wang Peng, "Your conjunctiva is a little congested. I noticed that you've been blinking frequently since you sat down. Are you feeling a little afraid of the light and having tears come out?"
Wang Peng nodded in satisfaction. "Your observation skills are pretty good. It seems to be quite accurate. My import and export business has been good recently. Every day, a large number of brand-name bags and leather goods arrive. I basically stay in the warehouse to run the business. Occasionally, I have to go back to the Chinese medicine clinic at home. I don't even have time to sleep. I can only sleep in the warehouse with the brand-name bags."
Bai Jiesui: "I just heard you coughing. You must have had these symptoms recently: dry and itchy throat, and you can't help sneezing and coughing."
Wang Peng cleared his throat and said, "With the recent change of seasons, my throat has been a little uncomfortable. I was planning to go back to my own Chinese medicine clinic to get some medicine."
Bai Jiesui: "Besides that, you also have chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing, right?"
The more Jiang Di listened, the more familiar it sounded. How could it be so similar to Zhuo Yongde's symptoms?
"Brother Wang, you don't have athlete's foot in your lungs, do you?" She said in horror, with a look of disgust on her face, thinking he was disgusting.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I a pervert?" Wang Peng turned around and cursed back loudly.
As a result, because he was so emotional, he couldn't help coughing twice.
Jiang Di became even more excited, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Miss Bai, you see he's coughing. He's coughing because of athlete's foot infection in his lungs."
Zhang Ruhan: "Don't talk nonsense, especially you Bai Jusui. Don't mislead outsiders. How could Brother Wang have athlete's foot in his lungs?"
Jiang Di didn't believe what Zhang Ruhan said. She was eagerly waiting for Bai Jiesui to give her an answer.
"Boss Wang's lungs don't have athlete's foot..."
Before Bai Jiesui could finish her words, Wang Peng pointed the bag under his arm at Jiang Di and shouted back, "Did you hear me? I have lungs, not athlete's foot. I don't smell stinky socks."
Jiang Di muttered, "If you don't want to smell it, then don't smell it. I didn't mean to misunderstand you."
Wang Peng was so angry that he slammed the bag back onto the stone table. He turned to Bai Jiesui and said kindly, "Miss Bai, please continue."
Bai Jiesui first glanced at the big-brand bag that Wang Peng had put on the table, and finally her gaze returned to Wang Peng's bright face.
"Boss Wang, the formaldehyde content in the fake brand bags you're dealing in exceeds the standard. You work with a large number of fake bags every day, and now you're showing symptoms of formaldehyde poisoning."
