Chapter 46: Chapter 45: Mr. Chen, Whose Feelings Were Deceived

Five and a half hours later, the surgery was declared a success.

After completing the post-surgery cleaning, everyone walked out of the operating room together.

Gu Yu and Dai Zhengguo were chatting and laughing as they led the group.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the operating room, a burst of bright lights flashed in front of them, and Gu Yu instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.

It took a full four to five seconds before he could see what was happening in front of him.

A group of journalists, armed with cameras and microphones, were eagerly snapping photos of him and the doctors.

"Doctors! How is the patient doing?"

"The surgery was extremely complex, can the doctors briefly describe the process?"

"I'm a journalist from Modu Morning News, can I have a one-on-one interview with each of you?"

"..."

The noise was deafening, and Gu Yu bore the brunt of it as a microphone nearly rammed into his mouth!

Facing the media for the first time, he instinctively shrank back.

Seeing Gu Yu's nervousness, Dai Zhengguo stepped forward to shield him.

"Haha! I'm Dai Zhengguo, please keep your voices down, everyone! This is a hospital, shall we discuss your questions in the conference hall instead?"

Dai Zhengguo was clearly accustomed to dealing with such situations; his words instantly quieted the journalists down.

Several media outlets had interviewed Dai Zhengguo before and were aware of his temperament; they knew that if they became too noisy, Dai Zhengguo would definitely kick them out!

Today they had finally stumbled upon a hot topic, and they all wanted to be the media outlet with the scoop!

Under Dai Zhengguo's leadership, the crowd of reporters made their way to the conference hall, jostling each other.

During the walk, some journalists whispered to the doctors behind them, trying to gather information.

Especially Gu Yu, who, even with a mask on, could be guessed by his young-looking eyes and hair!

With eleven out of twelve doctors having graying hair, only this one had black hair and bright eyes!

The media, with their keen sense of smell, quickly found a new angle for their coverage.

Journalists kept moving closer to Gu Yu, but were silently rebuffed by him.

For the time being, he didn't want to be exposed to the public eye!

The buzz on Dou Ying hadn't died down yet!

If he made another splash now, he would inevitably be thrust into the limelight.

Although he was aware that he would eventually need to engage with the media, now was not that time.

What's more, he had so many things to do; he didn't want to be bothered with an interview every day— that itself would be a nuisance.

There were too many examples of Dou Ying creators whose lives had become extremely inconvenient due to media involvement.

"Old Dai, I'll pass on the press conference, could you please help me slip away later?"

Gu Yu whispered to Dai Zhengguo as he sidled up to him.

Dai Zhengguo gave him a surprised look and glanced at the journalists around them. After hesitating, he nodded in agreement.

He didn't understand why Gu Yu would refuse such an opportunity to become famous, but since Gu Yu had requested it, he was willing to help.

They quickly reached the entrance of the conference hall.

Dai Zhengguo stood at the door and ushered all the journalists inside, then turned to Gu Yu with a smile.

"Alright, you can go. You participated in the surgery as a specially recruited expert; the special consultancy fee will be transferred to you by the hospital director, and I'll forward it to you. Remember to check your Feixin messages."

Gu Yu nodded appreciatively, "Thanks!"

Though he had known Dai Zhengguo for only a few days, Dai was a really good person!

What was important was that Dai trusted him enough to invite him directly to participate in a major surgery!

With Dai Zhengguo's assistance, Gu Yu managed to slip away smoothly.

By the time he had taken off his white coat and returned to Boss Pu's room, it was already dark outside.

"Huh... what happened to Sir Chen?"

As soon as Gu Yu stepped into the room, he saw Mr. Chen Tian propped up in bed, clutching his chest and gasping for air in anger.

Pu Tongren and Qin Shan were trying to hold back their laughter. Upon hearing Laosi ask, they finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha— Sir Chen has been swindled!"

Gu Yu looked bewildered, how could a shrewd person like Mr. Chen Tian get swindled?

"Swindled what? If it's money, we need to call the police fast!"

Gu Yu sat down on Boss Pu's sickbed and then lay back, relaxing.

He was worn out this afternoon!

"Hahahaha... Sir Chen was deceived emotionally!"

Boss Pu, clutching his own wound, couldn't stop laughing.

"Emotions?"

Gu Yu rolled over in bed and curiously looked at Mr. Chen Tian, who was nearly sixty years old. Could he have been emotionally deceived?

"What are you looking at me for, kiddo? Damn it! I never would have thought that Yao was actually a man! A man!"

"Why would a man play as Yao? And pretend to be a girl! If he were my grandson, I'd break his fifth limb!"

Mr. Chen Tian got even angrier when this topic was brought up.

He never imagined that the Sweetheart Yao, with whom he had been sweetly teaming up all afternoon, was actually a rough-voiced bloke!

Had it not been for Yao suddenly giving orders over the mic in the last game, he wouldn't have noticed at all!

He had even planned to entice Sweetheart Yao with a skin gift!

But what was there to entice now! They hadn't even finished a single game before they all unanimously voted to surrender at the six-minute mark!

"Hahahaha..."

The real identity of the rank-queueing Sweetheart Yao was actually a hairy-legged man! Gu Yu immediately pictured the scene!

If it had been him, he wouldn't have been able to handle it either!

No wonder Boss Pu and Laosan couldn't stop laughing. It seemed like they had really angered Old Mr. Chen this time.

"Alright, alright! Next time you need to be more careful in identifying people!"

Taking a break from laughter, Gu Yu still spoke soothingly to Old Mr. Chen, hoping not to actually cause a heart attack from all the anger.

"Forget it! I'm not playing anymore! If I ever touch this game again, I'm a husband pig!"

Mr. Chen Tian tossed his phone carelessly onto the blanket, clearly unable to calm down.

After soothing Mr. Chen's anger, Gu Yu's stomach suddenly started to growl.

He was hungry, but he didn't want to move, so he turned his head towards Qin Shan at the foot of the bed. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Laosan, it's seven o'clock. Could you get some fast food? I'm exhausted and can't bring myself to move."

Hearing Laosi's request, Qin Shan got up but didn't hurry off.

Instead, he looked thoughtfully at Gu Yu, who was laying in bed.

"There's no rush for food, but shouldn't you explain when you became a doctor?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Boss Pu also sat up immediately.

"Yeah, Laosi, what have you been up to just now?"

Even Old Mr. Chen, who hadn't entirely calmed down, turned his head to look at Gu Yu.

He knew Gu Yu was knowledgeable about appraising treasures but was surprised to learn he also had medical skills!

Gu Yu pursed his lips: "I learned some medical skills from my family when I was young and still remember a little. This afternoon, I was assisting Professor Dai—it was just a minor surgery, nothing much."

He wasn't planning to tell his brothers about being Chief Physician just yet.

"Oh, that's why you were able to share so much medical knowledge when Boss was injured."

Qin Shan had an epiphany. He didn't understand medicine, but when Boss was injured, Gu Yu had indeed proven his knowledge in the field.

Besides, he thought it wasn't strange for Laosi, coming from a wealthy family, to have a doctor in the family.

Though Boss Pu and Old Mr. Chen were still somewhat puzzled, seeing that Qin Shan wasn't dwelling on it, they couldn't be bothered to keep asking.

"Alright! What do you all want to eat? I'll go out and buy something, the hospital cafeteria is too gross!"

With the question settled, Qin Shan asked for dinner suggestions.

"Anything will do! I'm truly shattered! Get something like roasted oysters to replenish!"

"I was thinking of asking my son to bring me some food, but seeing you guys like this, I might as well buy it. Get me some oysters too, will you?"

Qin Shan nodded and, ignoring Boss Pu's comment, headed straight out of the ward.

"What about me, Laosan? Haven't you asked me what I want to eat?"

Boss Pu immediately became anxious!

"What's there for you to eat, when all you can have is congee?"

Gu Yu gave him a look.

Boss Pu could only lean back despondently.

"Ah~ when will these days end~~~"
