Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 51: I’m Fine, Really

"I told you during the interview yesterday! Our journalists always inform the interviewed institutions if it is a news interview or a commercial one. You were busy yesterday, so we didn’t disturb you further."

The female reporter explained with a smile.

She could tell that Li Jingsheng wasn’t blaming her.

In fact, the vast majority of people are happy to accept such positive publicity because it’s a great honor.

Most people don’t get the chance to appear in the news for a lifetime, especially positive news reports which are even harder to come by.

"Did our little clinic actually make it to the news? Let me see."

Tang Ping was also extremely shocked upon hearing this. She hastily collected payment from a customer and then went over to Li Jingsheng to look at the newspaper.

When she saw that Sunshine Clinic indeed made it onto the newspaper, and it was the headline of section B, she couldn’t help but blush with excitement, her smile unconcealable.

Like a rose, quickly blooming and finally flourishing.

The contents filled with positive reports made her exhilarated, and she felt an unprecedented special honor.

Today was destined to be the day when she said goodbye to self-esteem issues and held her head high.

In the future, when friends or classmates, elders ask her where she works, she no longer needs to dodge the question. She can proudly tell them, "I work at Sunshine Clinic."

"This is too unbelievable! The content is written wonderfully!"

She involuntarily complimented with a laugh.

She kept looking at the newspaper, reluctant to put it down.

Her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents with joy.

When Boss Zhao heard that Li Jingsheng’s Sunshine Clinic was in the news, he felt as if struck by thunderbolts, like being heavily hit by lightning. He was dumbfounded without speaking for a long time, showing no change in expression, but there was intense bitterness in his mouth.

The reporter was brought in by Xiaogao at his instruction.

The original intention was to use the reporter to completely ruin Sunshine Clinic.

A small clinic having a medical incident is a news focus; once reported by the media, Sunshine Clinic would be dead and buried.

Grass might regrow after a fire, but for a small clinic with an accident, there is basically no chance for recovery.

Even his Quick Recovery Clinic, which has been meticulously operated for over twenty years and currently enjoys booming business. Nearby residents run to his place for IVs and treatment whenever they have headaches or colds.

But just one incident, and Quick Recovery Clinic’s business would plummet, from earning a fortune daily to struggling to make a hundred.

Reality may even be more ruthless.

For any clinic, a medical accident is a devastating disaster.

Boss Zhao would never have imagined that Li Jingsheng, such a young man, could quietly set a grand scheme in absolute adversity.

Not only breaking his chain of plots and vicious moves but also seizing the opportunity to make a comeback.

It’s truly that human plans can’t beat a heavenly plan!

Yesterday, taking advantage of many onlookers, Li Jingsheng vigorously promoted, and Sunshine Clinic’s health products sold like hotcakes with customers flocking in, yet Boss Zhao managed to withstand it.

Because he believed that once the hype faded, everything would return to normal.

At that time, he would find opportunities to spread rumors unfavorable to Sunshine Clinic, surely bringing it back to its original form.

Just now, upon seeing Quick Recovery Clinic’s super VIP clients being poached by Sunshine Clinic, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

At most, he was sweating profusely, cursing that Sunshine Clinic was too poor to even afford an air conditioner.

At this moment, upon hearing that Sunshine Clinic and Li Jingsheng had made it onto the newspaper, even if Boss Zhao’s heart were made of iron, it could hardly take it.

He couldn’t quite explain it; he just felt his heart heavily congested and uncomfortable.

Even his breathing became short and heavy.

He walked like a zombie to the reception desk, trying to maintain calmness on his face, his voice somewhat hoarse as he said, "Miss Tang, let me have a look and share in your joy."

Boss Zhao reached and already grabbed one end of the newspaper.

Even though Tang Ping was somewhat reluctant to let go, she, fearing Boss Zhao, had no choice but to let him take the newspaper.

She looked at Li Jingsheng.

"This is the acknowledgement from the press and the journalists toward our little clinic. If Boss Zhao wants to see it, let him have a look."

After saying this, Li Jingsheng carefully examined Boss Zhao’s greasy face and kindly reminded him, "Boss Zhao, you usually don’t have cardiovascular disease, do you?"

Li Jingsheng’s diagnosis in Cardiovascular Medicine is currently Entry Level.

Because he wants to save upgrade points to raise his doctor level, even though consuming 10 points can upgrade his diagnosis in Cardiovascular Medicine, he is still somewhat reluctant.

At this moment, seeing Boss Zhao’s complexion looking off.

His face appeared dark red, while his lips were pale, the hand holding the newspaper trembling slightly.

Why does this seem like early symptoms of a heart attack?

Just a couple of days ago, an elderly lady had a heart attack and collapsed at his clinic. If Boss Zhao gets overly excited from the newspaper’s positive reports about Sunshine Clinic and collapses here, it would be quite alarming if word got out.

If two heart attack patients collapse at the same small clinic in a short time, the public pressure would be immense.

As for sympathizing or caring for Boss Zhao, that’s pure wishful thinking.

Facing such a cunning enemy, whose face is thicker than the city wall, Li Jingsheng would rather send a few hundred yuan wreath at Boss Zhao’s funeral than fight to save him right there.

"I’m in great health! Besides, just reading the newspaper. Don’t look down on people through a crack. Am I, Old Zhao, someone so petty and narrow-minded? Watching your Sunshine Clinic become famous, I sincerely feel happy for you."

At this moment, Boss Zhao was still uttering insincere pleasantries.

Because he’s long grown accustomed to not aligning his words with his feelings.

As his gaze swept across the newspaper’s content, his face gradually turned even darker.

Sunshine Clinic’s simple and outdated sign actually got a close-up, and Li Jingsheng’s handsome profile also had a close-up.

Is this female reporter a relative of this guy?

Or did she get paid to be bought off?

Isn’t this clearly promoting Sunshine Clinic and Li Jingsheng?

Boss Zhao cursed internally while his eyes uncontrollably continued reading the newspaper’s reports on Sunshine Clinic.

Actually, he wrongfully accused the female reporter and Li Jingsheng.

The two did not know each other at all.

The female reporter, often coming across various news material, genuinely admired and cherished acts of truth and beauty, but instinctively despised evil deeds. She willingly seized the chance to provide publicity to Sunshine Clinic purely out of supporting justice and good.

This is also the fundamental professional ethics of every journalist.

"Ugh..."

Boss Zhao clutched his chest, gasping heavily, and his breath became very rapid.

His lips turned even paler.

His fingernails even started to turn cyanotic.

His left hand tightly pressed against his chest to feel more comfortable, while his other hand struggled to hold the newspaper steadily, shaking as if in an epileptic fit.

Li Jingsheng quickly seized the opportunity to take the newspaper.

’Concerned,’ he asked, "Boss Zhao, are you alright?"

In fact, his heart felt like drinking iced plum soup in June, quite refreshed.

This old jerk Zhao kept frequenting Sunshine Clinic, causing trouble each time he came. Allowing this old jerk to suffer a big loss and learn a lesson is rather good.

Having suffered such a big shock today, he might stay away for a long time.

Sunshine Clinic could enjoy some peace for a few days. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"It’s nothing, nothing, what could be wrong with me? It’s too hot in here. You should install an air conditioner, or else the customer and patient experience is too poor."

Boss Zhao’s voice sounded obviously off, with a tremor.

Just stubbornly refusing to admit it.

In front of reporters, demonstrating any unusual behavior is absolutely unacceptable; he must hold on until he walks out.
