Chapter 666: Chapter 505: Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid Causes Alcohol Poisoning in Patients! _2
Just kidding.
Waiting here for the surgery to end, though also anxious,
is still better than being back at the school hospital, dealing with freak cases for unknown reasons at any time.
Secretary Lu stared at Chen Mu and said, "I suggest you go back to the school hospital later since the new antics from those fragile college students have something to do with you."
"Has to do with me?"
"Secretary, you must be mistaken!"
"I’ve been in the hospital this whole time, waiting for He Congming to come out of surgery."
"Don’t say that I haven’t been in contact with any students or intern doctors from the school."
"I haven’t even contacted Reporter Su; how could fragile college students cause new antics because of me???"
At this moment.
Chen Mu felt all kinds of wronged.
He was just in the hospital waiting for He Congming’s surgery to end.
How did a big black pot suddenly fall from the sky, without reason?
And then.
Get forcibly placed on his head like this???
Chen Mu was unconvinced!!!
Extremely unconvinced!!!
Secretary Lu entered the ward and found a place to sit down.
Then he looked at Chen Mu again, "When you were live streaming, did you explain to the fragile college students and some of the audience that Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid can be used for foot baths, to relieve heat, and so on?"
Secretary Lu couldn’t immediately recall what else those netizens said.
He just said directly, "You did give a lot of explanations on how Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid can be useful in daily life."
Chen Mu nodded.
He didn’t think there was any problem with this, "Yeah, four yuan a box, cheap and good, can solve many common minor health issues in life."
"Secretary, you can’t possibly be telling me that some fragile college student had a problem after drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid, right?"
"That’s completely impossible, I can responsibly tell you that products like Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid, even if they don’t cure an ailment, generally don’t cause harm when consumed!"
Ha ha!
Hearing Secretary Lu let out a cold snort again.
Chen Mu immediately restrained his smile and cautiously observed Secretary Lu’s expression.
He asked, "Secretary...could it be that some fragile college student, or some live-stream viewer, drank Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid and had a problem..."
Thinking about it seriously now.
Though the chance of having a problem with drinking this stuff should be very small.
But often... small probability events, although small,
still suggest the possibility of occurrence.
Seeing Secretary Lu’s stern face and nodding,
Chen Mu couldn’t help but let out a wail: "Secretary, I think this time I don’t even need to resign voluntarily; to calm the public anger, Hai City University should just expel me..."
Poor thing.
He’s been working hard and diligently at Hai City University for so many years, and the best outcome might still be getting kicked out.
This is probably the cost of his youthful ignorance when he followed the old man to learn medicine.
Secretary Lu was about to say it wouldn’t go that far.
But seeing Chen Mu’s sorrowful look, he couldn’t help but want to scare the younger one a bit.
Seemingly concerned, he said, "If you don’t continue working at Hai City University, what do you plan to do next, change careers? Or go back to clinical work?"
Even though this person in front was considered his superior and elder.
At this moment.
Chen Mu couldn’t quite control himself, and he rolled his eyes.
He spoke rather speechlessly, "If someone really had a problem from drinking this, plus the impact of the live stream, there might not be a place for me in the entire medical industry in the future..."
"As for what to do later."
Chen Mu seriously thought about it for a moment before speaking: "Come to think of it, my dad seems to have saved quite a bit over the years, maybe I should just go home and live off him."
Looking at Chen Mu’s sincere face.
Secretary Lu: "..."
Well, well, well!!!
Dr. Chen.
You truly are a filial son to your father!
Living off your parents?
Maybe it really is a good choice.
Watching Chen Mu rest his chin in his hands, seriously contemplating the possibility of living off his parents.
Secretary Lu hurriedly said, "Although this has caused some trouble, it hasn’t reached the point where Dr. Chen needs to resign."
"Really..." Chen Mu said.
Secretary Lu: "..."
How did he hear a hint of regret in Chen Mu’s words?
This guy.
Just how much grievance has working at Hai City University brought him!
It actually made him constantly think about rolling out.
Secretary Lu: "Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid contains alcohol."
Hearing Secretary Lu say this.
Chen Mu immediately understood what happened among the fragile college student group.
His expression turned serious as he looked at Secretary Lu, "Do you mean someone had an alcohol allergy after taking Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid?"
Secretary Lu gravely nodded and then said, "Not only that."
"Cases of alcohol allergies have appeared nationwide."
"But at the first sign of trouble, the pharmacy, school, and even the program team all released educational information about the alcohol content in Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid."
"Moreover, even though Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid contains alcohol, the content isn’t particularly high."
"So up until now, there haven’t been any severe alcohol allergy cases."
Listening to Secretary Lu say all this, Chen Mu leaned dejectedly there, "Secretary...I’m sorry..."
"I thought I was careful enough in my educational explanations, but I didn’t expect..."
Didn’t expect...
this oversight would occur.
Seeing Chen Mu’s disheartened look, Secretary Lu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
He gently patted Chen Mu’s back, "To err is human."
"Although you made some mistakes, your attitude in admitting them is commendable. I believe most netizens can understand Dr. Chen’s small oversight."
"Public opinion is currently under control and won’t cause Dr. Chen too much of an impact at this time."
Chen Mu nodded.
Indicating he understood.
Yet he still maintained that lifeless demeanor.
Secretary Lu thoughtfully touched his chin, "Furthermore, Dr. Chen, I have a piece of bad news for you."
Chen Mu: "..."
He stiffly lifted his head.
Looking at a gloating and unabashed Secretary Lu, Chen Mu almost went numb, "Secretary, if it’s bad news, can we perhaps not talk about it?"
Secretary Lu shook his head and then said, "That won’t do; this concerns work and can’t be ignored."
Work...
Chen Mu’s lips twitched, wanting to say that the last thing he wanted to deal with right now was work.
But seeing Secretary Lu’s not-quite-smiling gaze,
Chen Mu strangely behaved himself.
In the workplace, survival works like this.
Never think your relationship with your boss is better in private than it really is.
If you make a tiny mistake at work, the boss can immediately give you the cold shoulder.
Under Secretary Lu’s watchful gaze, he obediently nodded.
Sitting properly: "Secretary Lu, I personally hold my work in high regard, and your willingness to discuss work matters with me shows your trust. Please tell me what I can do."
Looking at the person in front of him.
Who was just short of saluting him.
For a moment.
Secretary Lu felt speechless.
How could Chen Mu manage to be so unreliable and yet reliable?
Secretary Lu: "First, check the time."
Chen Mu opened his phone, somewhat pleasantly surprised, "Five-thirty, Secretary!"
"When He Congming’s family arrives, or when you return from the headmaster, can I leave work?"
Seeing Secretary Lu shake his head.
Chen Mu then belatedly remembered Secretary Lu’s earlier statement contained some deeper meaning.
For example...
The bad news pertains to work.
Even though, in his heart, he already had a rough guess.
But at this time, Chen Mu was still trying to struggle, "Also, wasn’t it agreed before that Dr. Zheng Xin would take the night shift?"
"With Dr. Zheng Xin on duty at the school tonight, plus those intern doctors from Hai City Medical University, there wouldn’t be a problem."
Just as Chen Mu thought he found a reason that could convince Secretary Lu.
Secretary Lu lightly said, "The problem lies with Dr. Zheng Xin."
Chen Mu: "???"
