Chapter 25 Someone is there to cover you
Doctors have a kind heart. Chen Ruogu always treats patients as his own family. How could he bear to see him suffer from illness?
She sat in front of the middle-aged man, and Chi Zhengzheng quickly took out the pulse pillow and placed the man's wrist on it.
Ruogu Subai placed her fingertips lightly on her pulse, concentrating and calming her mind. After a moment, she raised her hand.
The man's lips were pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was staggering as if he was about to faint.
Chen Ruogu turned to Chi Zhengzheng and ordered, "Go get the disposable needles and disinfectant, and hurry up."
Chi Zhengzheng hurried to the medicine cabinet. He Hui was afraid that she was not familiar with the placement of the medicine cabinet, so he quickly followed to help.
Chen Ruogu said calmly, "Your pain has spread to your lower limbs. I will select the corresponding ear points and perform penetrating puncture on both sides of the lumbar spine. The pain will go away soon."
The middle-aged man clenched his teeth to prevent himself from groaning. He nodded weakly. Even though he still had doubts about the young doctor, he had no other choice. He could not move an inch.
Chi Zhengzheng took the things and ran away. Chen Ruogu reminded him, "Be careful and disinfect the patient's skin first."
Chi Zhengzheng nodded, and then disinfected the area quickly, while Chen Ruogu went to get the needle.
After disinfection was completed, she held the auricle with her left hand, held the needle with the thumb, index finger and middle finger of her right hand, and inserted it into the ear point at one end of the lumbar vertebra.
Then she twisted the needle a few times with small amplitude, and the airflow in her body also followed the needle into the patient's body, stimulating the acupuncture points and enhancing the needle sensation.
After the needle penetrated all the acupuncture points, the middle-aged man's face relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The needle was still in his body. He let out a long breath and his eyes gradually became clear.
He first turned around and looked at Chen Ruogu curiously, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice:
"Just now I felt as if my bones were broken, but your needle immediately stopped the pain. Doctor Chen is a great doctor, and he brought me back to health!"
He spoke sincerely, his face full of respect. Chen Ruogu was still twisting the needle to inject air flow and did not reply immediately. Chi Zhengzheng said proudly:
"This elder brother has a good eye. Our doctor Chen is amazing. Don't look at her young age. She can cure any difficult and complicated disease."
The middle-aged man showed an expression of awe. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a warm current flowing through his limbs and bones. His scalp was numb with comfort. After the numbness passed, he said to He Hui:
"Brother, my taxi is still on the side of the road. Can you help me drive it to the parking space? The keys are in the car."
Chi Zhengzheng was dumbfounded and couldn't help but scold him, "You're driving a taxi even though you're in so much pain. What if there are passengers in the car? Aren't you playing with other people's lives?"
The pain in the man's waist disappeared, and his body recovered. He finally had the energy to talk to her. He said helplessly:
"Isn't it all about making a living? My son is in high school, my daughter is in junior high school, and my wife got sick two years ago and spent all our savings. In the end, we are left with nothing. If I don't work hard to make money, what will happen to my two children? They can only rely on me."
Chi Zhengzheng felt a little sad after hearing this. When her parents divorced and felt that she was a burden, other people's parents were desperately supporting their children to climb up the ladder. They were reluctant to rest even when they were suffering from illness. Reincarnation is really a technical job.
Chi Zhengzheng said in a gentle tone: "Junior and high school are the time when you spend money, and the pressure is really great."
The middle-aged man nodded. No matter what difficulties he faced, he had to maintain a positive attitude. If his two children were ruined, it would be the end of him.
"Although I am tired, my children are very hardworking. They don't have money for tutoring, but they always rank among the top in every exam. I feel fulfilled if I can send them to college."
A man who cares about his family and loves his children is always admirable, and the same goes for Chen Ruogu. She left the needle in his body for thirty minutes before pulling it out.
"Can you stand up and stretch your waist?"
The middle-aged man had some psychological trauma. He hesitated and said, "Can you move so soon? I was in so much pain just now, and my clothes are still wet with sweat on my back..."
Chen Ruogu smiled and said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore. Try doing big movements like bending over and lifting your legs. The more difficult the movements are, the more you should do them."
If Chen Ruogu had said this before the acupuncture, he might not have believed it, but now he really didn't feel any pain at all, so he couldn't help but believe it.
He stood up carefully and then did what Chen Ruogu asked. He Hui stood not far from him to prevent him from falling suddenly.
He didn't feel anything special when he bent over and raised his legs, but he could clearly feel soreness and discomfort when he rotated his waist and leaned back. Ruogu explained: "You have been suffering from this disease for a long time. It is impossible to cure it with one acupuncture. You have to get it two or three times, at a frequency of once a week. You have to exercise properly after you go back and don't be lazy."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'll do as you say. I'll come over for acupuncture next week. In the past, when it hurt, I would just take painkillers or just endure it. But now that I'm too old, I can't do that anymore. The body is the capital of revolution, I know this."
Chen Ruogu liked patients who followed the doctor's orders carefully. Knowing that the patient was not financially well-off, he did not prescribe any warming and tonic medicine for him, and did not charge too much for his treatment.
After he walked out of the clinic, He Hui said with emotion: "My sister-in-law is really amazing. The person I carried in could walk out by himself in less than an hour. The effect is immediate."
Chi Zhengzheng smiled brightly and said, "That's right. Many people must have seen what happened just now. This time they should believe in Sister Ruogu's strength."
Chen Ruogu didn't need to prove anything to others, she didn't care much and said:
"We just need to do our own thing. If someone comes to see me, I will treat them wholeheartedly. If they don't come, I can have some free time. It's all good either way."
Chi Zhengzheng admired Chen Ruogu from the bottom of his heart. She started working to earn a living very early and had met all kinds of people. There were many people who talked about benevolence and morality but were worse than pigs and dogs in private.
She has seen a lot of the dark side of society and has a strong sense of self-protection. She usually looks careless, but in fact she is very measured in what she does and says.
In her opinion, Chen Ruogu's every word and action is full of sincerity. This kind of pure sincerity can most touch people's hearts and make her feel extremely appreciative and admirable.
She couldn't help but hug Chen Ruogu's arm and said affectionately:
"Sister Ruogu, how come you are so perfect? So perfect that I want to use my phone to record your daily life. I believe there will be many fans who love you as much as I do. I have even thought of an account name. It's Doctor Chen's Little Follower! What do you think?"
She said this in a coquettish tone, trying to test Ruogu's reaction. Last night she tossed and turned thinking about what to film.
The famous food streamers in the internet celebrity circle all ended up badly. If she wanted to stand out, she could only eat more than others, but that would be too harmful, and she cherished her life. She didn't have many friends around her, and the material for filming was limited. She really couldn't find a good subject. She had said jokingly before that she wanted to film Chen Ruogu, and after returning home, the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Chen Ruogu is stunningly beautiful even without beauty filters. If she adds filters, she will be even more amazing. She speaks softly and her gestures are dignified, just like a lady from a noble family in a novel.
The most important thing is that she also knows medical skills. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. If there is traffic, it can also promote traditional culture. She knows that Chen Ruogu doesn't like to show up in public, but she still wants to try.
After Chi Zhengzheng finished speaking, she waited nervously for a reply. Chen Ruogu was very smart and could tell from Chi Zhengzheng's reaction that she was serious about what she said.
He Hui was smooth and experienced, so he naturally saw it, and he quickly refused:
"This won't work. You know your sister-in-law's identity is complicated. If it stirs up bad public opinion, can you bear the responsibility?"
Chi Zhengzheng was unconvinced and said, "Actor Yu has never made public the news of his marriage. No one has ever seen Sister Ruogu's husband. They have no contact in real life. Why can't Sister Ruogu make a video and post it? Should she stay out of the public eye for the sake of Actor Yu? As long as the two of them don't appear together, no one will know about this."
He Hui was speechless. He knew that this was unfair to Ruogu, but he still didn't want her to be exposed to the public. He advised Ruogu:
"Sister-in-law, if you really show your face online, you must be prepared for the risk of being abused and cyberbullied by haters. This goes against the life you want to live. You will not be able to bear the pressure, and there will be endless troubles."
Chi Zhengzheng argued: "Sister Ruogu is so good, why do you think netizens will dislike her? Once we have established the account, Sister Ruogu will become well-known, and the clinic business will be better. She can make more money, and then there will be better choices."
He Hui narrowed his eyes and said incredulously, "Are you trying to instigate a divorce between my sister-in-law and Brother Yuan?"
Chi Zhengzheng refused to admit it, "You said that, I haven't even seen Master Yu Yuan, how could I think that?
What's wrong with Ruogu working hard for her career? I only filmed her daily life and recorded her beautiful side. It doesn't necessarily mean she will become famous, so why are you so nervous? "
He Hui felt that he would be pissed off by her sooner or later. He ignored Chi Zhengzheng and continued to persuade Chen Ruogu:
"Sister-in-law, you really can't be an internet celebrity. There are too many gossips online. You can't handle it..."
Chen Ruogu remained calm the entire time. She signaled He Hui to stay calm and said to Chi Zhengzheng, "What do I need to do while you're filming the video?"
Seeing that she didn't directly reject it, Chi Zhengzheng said excitedly: "Sister Ruogu, you don't have to do anything deliberately, just do whatever you want as usual. My character is just your little follower, responsible only for recording and explaining, and I won't edit too much."
Chen Ruogu was not afraid of her doing something wrong. She thought for a moment and said:
"I need to discuss this with Brother Yuan and Huai Xi. If Brother Yuan has any arrangements, I hope Zheng Zheng doesn't mind. We can discuss shooting the video, but I won't participate in live streaming to sell goods."
Ruogu has seen push notifications for videos promoting product sales, but she doesn’t like the feeling of hawking goods, so she refuses to participate. Even if she starts a live broadcast one day, it will definitely not be for promoting product sales.
Chi Zhengzheng was very satisfied to hear her say this, and she said sensibly:
"This matter should indeed be discussed with the movie emperor. As long as Sister Ruogu is willing to let me shoot, you have the final say on how to split the profits."
Chen Ruogu was helpless. "Do you think highly of me? If the video doesn't go viral, then you've worked in vain."
Chi Zhengzheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have Sister Ruogu to support me. I won't starve to death. I am mentally prepared for the difficulties of starting a business."
She had already made her attitude clear, so how could Ruogu not support her? She glanced at He Hui and said in a soothing voice, "Don't get anxious. Let Brother Yuan decide. I'll call him."
He Hui was very grateful for the boss lady's understanding. He said without any objection:
"It's all up to you..."
After calming the two people down, Chen Ruogu turned and left. She walked with light steps, her posture was graceful and natural, making people stop and admire her...
When Yu Yuan saw Ruogu calling, he was discussing a cooperation project with someone. He smiled apologetically at the other party, then stood up to answer the phone.
Han Shuo was also present. He hurriedly explained with a shy face: "Brother Yuan has something to do at home, so I will be delayed for a while. I will take care of the details of the cooperation..."
Ruogu hadn't called him for a long time. Yu Yuan was a little happy. After he answered the phone, he asked in a warm voice, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
Chen Ruogu sat back on the sofa and said lazily, "Everything is fine at home, nothing has happened. I just have something else to discuss with you."
Yu Yuan said as a matter of course: "You decide all the matters at home. You don't need my consent. Just make sure you and Xixi are happy."
Chen Ruogu chuckled and said, "If I want to be a celebrity online, will you agree?"
Yu Yuan said without hesitation: "As long as it is what you really want to do, I have no objection."
Chen Ruogu thought that since he had hidden his original body for so long, he would definitely not agree to this, so his reaction was indeed somewhat unexpected.
Yu Yuan chuckled and said, "I guess this isn't your idea. Can you tell me what's going on?"
Chen Ruogu and his original self have a lot of similarities in personality. Yu Yuan is not completely ignorant of his wife, so he said that.
Chen Ruogu did not hide anything and directly told the whole cause and effect of the matter. After all, they are husband and wife, and they should discuss things together when encountering problems.
Yu Yuan is a man with business acumen and leadership skills. After listening to this, he thought for a moment and said, "You can shoot the video, but the account must belong to us, and the content must be reviewed by the team. The video that is released must play a positive role in publicity.
I have already planned to announce your and Xixi’s identities, and a short video is a good way to test the waters and gain fans’ support.”
Chen Ruogu didn't expect him to do this, and said in a serious tone:
"If you make Xixi and I public, your career will be greatly affected, and our relationship will also attract a lot of people to spy on us. Have you considered the consequences?"
Yu Yuan said calmly, "I almost lost you because I thought about it for too long. Xixi should have called me dad openly, and I should have been with you all the time..."
After Chen Ruogu listened to him, he put aside his emotions, thought calmly for a moment, and then said:
"Then I'll listen to you. I'll work towards your direction and you can arrange the team members."
Yu Yuan didn't expect her to be so decisive. He was in a good mood and said in a brisk voice:
"You don't have to pretend when you're shooting a video. Just do what you need to do. I'll take care of everything."
Chen Ruogu suddenly discovered that having someone to support you was a rare kind of happiness and support.
