Chapter 624: Liu Mang’s Haters
Mr. Zhang said he wanted to learn, and he wasn’t joking.
It’s important to know that yesterday he watched Lin Tian all day long, without moving even once except for bathroom breaks and meals.
He even took out a small notebook and started taking notes.
When even someone like him starts taking notes, do the other officials dare to slack off? Those who had notebooks took them out, and those who didn’t had someone buy them. They all looked like obedient students diligently taking notes.
Except for Zhao Xuefeng, who was seated, the rest of the officials sat on the lawn, looking quite spectacular as they earnestly took notes.
This event also made the news yesterday. If it happened at another time, it would definitely have been a headline, but Lin Tian’s prominence was overwhelming.
Soon, today’s treatments began again. Much like yesterday, all the patients had serious illnesses, and Lin Tian found it somewhat strenuous to treat them.
After a short while, a man in his forties, wearing a suit and holding a phone, suddenly ran over.
Lin Tian recognized this person; he was Zhang Zhixing’s secretary.
"Minister, it’s been found out! It’s been found out!"
"What has been found out?" the secretary shouted.
At this moment, Zhang Zhixing was taking notes. He thought Lin Tian was an exceptionally talented young man, so talented it was dazzling.
Whenever Zhang Zhixing encountered something he didn’t understand, Lin Tian would explain proactively, slowing down his speech just enough for Zhang Zhixing to have time to note it down.
"Shush!" Zhang Zhixing made a gesture for silence, and the secretary quickly closed his mouth, standing straight beside Zhang Zhixing like a pine tree.
In front of Lin Tian was a patient, an elderly man with gray hair and beard, suffering from severe dementia.
He had memory impairment, was aphasic, and couldn’t recognize his own daughter and spouse.
This was already the third stage, major dementia. Curing it was simply impossible.
This disease is very complicated because there are too many possible causes, such as viral infection, mental illness, or genetic inheritance.
Lin Tian was also at a loss with this disease; the only thing he could do was give some advice to the patient’s family.
Lin Tian was not a doctor before; he was just an ordinary student. After treating so many patients, he also felt a deep sense of helplessness. The disease is so terrifying it can destroy a person, even a family.
Although Lin Tian’s medical skills were high and he had Spiritual Qi, Spiritual Qi was not omnipotent, and many diseases could not be cured.
Zhang Zhixing also sighed heavily. He used to be a doctor, had been through this countless times, but seeing it again still filled him with emotion.
After the elderly patient and his family left, Zhang Zhixing turned to his secretary and quietly asked, "What was the matter just now?"
"Minister, we received a reported video."
Speaking, the secretary handed the phone over. It was footage from the hospital’s surveillance camera, with the faces of Liu Mang and several other nurses clearly visible.
The video was edited. The first segment showed Liu Mang selecting patient materials, the second segment their conversation, with phrases like ’that kid is doomed this time,’ and even had footage of registering Lin Tian’s patients.
The video was very high-definition, and its contents were crystal clear.
"Outrageous!"
Yesterday Zhang Zhixing had an inkling about this, but seeing it with his own eyes, his anger still surged upward.
Zhang Zhixing took the phone, strode to Lin Tian’s desk, placed the phone on the table, and said, "Take a look!"
Lin Tian pretended to glance at it, displayed anger on his face, slammed the table heavily, and cursed, "Beast! Despicable!"
In fact, Lin Tian already knew about this. How could he not? The video was obtained by Pang Yu, and he had seen it before leaving that morning. Moreover, Lin Tian had Pang Yu upload the video online.
This matter had already caught attention yesterday, and now that the video was out, its clicks were rising exponentially, exposing Liu Mang’s ugly side.
Simultaneously, several other videos went viral online, including a speech by Liu Mang at a previous medical summit, all somewhat disparaging traditional medicine.
After Lin Tian demonstrated superior medical skills yesterday, combined with traditional medicine evoking a sense of cultural belonging, many people became fans of traditional medicine. Now seeing it being demeaned, how could they not be furious?
So Liu Mang got heavily criticized, even more than yesterday, one could say he was utterly defeated.
Zhang Zhixing patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, saying, "Come, let’s go see how that guy has any face to stay in the hospital!"
Lin Tian chuckled and waved his hand, "I guess I better not. The patients here need me."
Zhang Zhixing froze for a moment, then returned to sit back in his chair, holding his notebook.
"Minister, why aren’t you going?"
"If you’re not going, why should I? I’d rather stay here and take notes. As for that bastard. Secretary, you go have a look for me."
Lin Tian was a bit speechless, feeling as if this minister was deliberately currying favor with him.
"Alright, Minister." The secretary agreed and left.
...
On the third floor of the hospital, in Liu Mang’s office.
At this moment, Liu Mang was hiding under a desk, curling his somewhat plump body, trembling slightly.
This situation began yesterday.
Yesterday, after saying goodbye to Minister Zhang Zhixing, Liu Mang started erasing any traces of setting traps for Lin Tian, focusing on surveillance and shutting the mouths of those nurses with money.
Yesterday, Liu Mang hardly saw any patients; he was busy with aftermath work, so the number of treated patients was minimal.
What Liu Mang didn’t expect was that Lin Tian’s abilities were so extensive and the attention from society so widespread.
The most unfortunate thing was, those people didn’t even find evidence but just placed the blame on him. And damn it, they were right!
Not only was the glass of his home broken, more tragically, several of his luxury cars were scratched.
The most infuriating was that a message was written on his car, worth over two million: "Liu Mang Bastard 2333"
Wouldn’t you say that’s aggravating? Liu Mang was about to blow his top.
But what’s worse is that reputation is everything; once lost, everything’s gone!
This morning when Liu Mang arrived at the hospital, much like Lin Tian, he was also greeted by many people, including journalists and fans.
The difference was, Lin Tian’s fans were genuine supporters, while Liu Mang’s were all... haters.
Reporters and haters surrounded him, with reporters asking questions like: "Director Liu Mang, as Lin Tian’s mentor, why do you target him like this, trying to suppress traditional medicine?"
"Director Liu Mang, are you someone who has medical skills but lacks medical ethics?"
As for the haters, they adhered to the principle of ’if you can act, don’t just talk,’ with someone even poking Liu Mang’s backside with an attack known as a ’Thousand Years of Death.’
