Chapter 652: Chapter 498: Does Anyone Have the Main Production Team’s Birth Dates? I Want to Study Them!
Despite it still being school stuff, having someone to chat idly with made him very happy.
Chen Mu continued, "Although He Congming personally didn’t bring a terrible influence to the school, the fragile university students here have a strong ability to imitate. When they found out about He Congming swallowing a light bulb..."
"For the next two days, the intern doctors at the school hospital were breaking light bulbs till their hands shook. Principal, you get what this means, right?"
Though there wasn’t a live broadcast camera here.
When Chen Mu spoke, he still did so deliberately.
He absolutely couldn’t speak ill of He Congming, but he genuinely didn’t want He Congming to stay at Hai City University.
Chen Mu always felt that those mystical online rumors made some sense.
Perhaps...
He and He Congming were naturally incompatible.
If He Congming really stayed at Hai City University after graduation, pursued a master’s, a PhD...
And maybe, as desired by the principal and He Congming, held a position at Hai City University, Chen Mu’s following career as a campus doctor would be utterly bleak.
The principal, after all, is the head of a university.
Someone who could reach this position, even after two trips to the ICU, remains as perceptive as ever.
He didn’t say anything.
Just observed Chen Mu’s expression for a moment.
Until Chen Mu, who was regarded as quite influential at the school hospital, felt somewhat uneasy under the principal’s gaze.
Then the principal spoke, "It seems our student He Congming has indeed made quite an impression on Dr. Chen, but just the mention of him possibly staying at the school gets such a big reaction from Dr. Chen; does this student perhaps also wish to stay?"
Upon saying this.
The principal noticed that Chen Mu, who had been quite opposed to the topic earlier, looked even more stiff.
The principal’s smile deepened, "Seems like this student really has the ambition to stay. No wonder Dr. Chen is reacting so strongly..."
"What I can promise you is, I won’t actively invite this He student to stay, but if the student truly wishes to remain and relies on his own ability to stay at Hai City University, I hope Dr. Chen won’t take any excessive actions."
Hearing this from the principal.
Chen Mu was initially stunned.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Principal, I’m just a campus doctor, aren’t you thinking too highly of me..."
He had survived in the workplace for many years; how could he not understand that the principal’s words were a warning?
According to Hai City University’s long-standing recruitment philosophy.
As long as the applicants didn’t have major moral flaws, they were strictly admitted based on their exam scores.
Besides these.
Before employment, there would be a medical check.
This medical check is conducted at the university’s hospital in Hai City.
The principal was worried he might really resist He Congming staying at Hai City University and then use his position to create obstacles during the medical examination.
But the issue is...
Chen Mu thought somewhat helplessly, there would be medical staff from the community hospital supervising; it’s not something he could decide alone...
"But regardless, as long as the school doesn’t face more public criticism due to this broadcast recently, that would be a good thing for Hai City University."
"Just..."
The principal looked at Chen Mu for a moment and continued, "As an elder, I still want to care about our program’s main character, Dr. Chen, how does it feel recording this show?"
Chen Mu seriously pondered for a moment, "Principal, do you have the birth dates of the main creative team of the program?"
Principal, "No..."
Then he found Chen Mu’s question a bit baffling, "Why are you suddenly asking for their birth data? What’s going on, not satisfied with just being a campus doctor and planning to become a fortune teller?"
Chen Mu shook his head.
He continued to drop a bomb on the principal, "I definitely don’t have the skills to be a fortune-teller, but through an introduction from a student at our school, I’ve added a local, very skilled Taoist priest from Hai City on WeChat."
Principal, "..."
He felt if Chen Mu stayed here a bit longer, going back to the ICU at Renmin Hospital wouldn’t be a problem.
He even started to doubt whether agreeing to record this program at the school was a correct decision.
Surely...
This program isn’t going to conclude with the last campus doctor of Hai City University going crazy, right?
It can’t be!!!
Unlike the principal, who looked a bit strange at the moment, Chen Mu seriously said, making the principal somewhat unnerved, "Actually, I recalled over the last couple of days, while the number of fragile students at Hai City University has always been quite large, most of their illnesses are caused by staying up late and unhealthy eating habits."
"But lately, there have been many other types of cases, colorful and varied."
The principal’s lips kept twitching.
Listen!
Just listen!
The campus doctor here is practically being driven crazy by the fragile students!
Colorful!
Varied!
Are those appropriate words to describe medical cases?
How can Chen Mu say these words with such calmness?
The principal doesn’t understand, doesn’t comprehend, is utterly shocked!
Yet, Chen Mu’s voice continued.
"I summed it up; the sudden increase in cases, the sudden increase in difficult-to-diagnose ailments, one major factor is that these started happening only after the program team came to our school."
"So I’ve been pondering if it’s possible that one member of the program’s main creative team has birth data that’s incompatible with our Hai City University, leading to this surge in fragile students?"
"Honestly, Principal, you don’t know how absurd the school hospital is right now, several times we’ve even had to use buses to transport the fragile students out."
"You’ve only been hospitalized for a few days, and I feel like Secretary Lu aged several years. You should recover quickly and let Secretary Lu come here for a rest."
Principal, "..."
All the brats at school, only this guy dares to say that hospitalization is a rest.
After a moment of speechlessness, the principal spoke, "I don’t have their birth data here, but actually, I think if Dr. Chen doesn’t pay too much attention to his workload, you’ll gradually adapt."
"Aside from the increasing number of fragile students, is there any other issue with online criticism?"
"For instance, concerning Dr. Chen?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu looked up sharply.
And met the principal’s eyes, which were filled with unreserved concern.
It was rare.
Chen Mu felt a bit choked up.
*
He suddenly seemed to understand why the show was shot at Hai City University, maybe not just because of the old man’s influence.
The principal and Secretary Lu also played their part.
Seeing Chen Mu remain silent, the principal pursued, "Are there any netizens who think Dr. Chen’s medical skills are too good for staying at Hai City University and that Dr. Chen deserves a bigger stage, like sitting in one of the nation’s best tertiary hospitals?"
Chen Mu looked at the principal, "What do you mean by that, are you suggesting I resign?"
"But previously, I’ve submitted so many resignation letters, and didn’t you turn them all down?"
Chen Mu’s tone carried some resentment.
But the principal looked at Chen Mu with eyes full of kindness.
Just like a grandfather watching his little grandson throwing a tantrum at home.
Principal, "Previously, Hai City University only had you as the campus doctor. As the principal, for the physical and mental health of the students, I naturally had to ensure there was a last line of defense for their health. But now, it’s different..."
"How so?" Chen Mu felt as if the principal had more to say.
Principal, "The intern doctors sent from Hai City Medical University and Hai City University of Traditional Medicine, don’t they all want to work in a tertiary hospital? I think if the benefits and conditions are good enough, they might enjoy a campus doctor’s job, which offers winter and summer holidays."
Chen Mu, "!!!"
