Chapter 726 Traffic Ahead, Detour Please!
The celebration for the freshmen was over.
Soon, the video of Fang Qiu singing at the ceremony was posted on the Internet.
People had not seen Fang Qiu singing for a long time.
It was not until this video went viral that everyone remembered that Fang Qiu was really good at singing.
“If I remember correctly, Fang Qiu performed in a concert before, didn’t he?”
“Haha, it’s funny to think about it now. Other people were singing at the concert, but he was teaching the audience to do exercises at the concert. And the audience actually went along willingly with him.”
“It’s beautiful. This song sounds so good.”
“The theme song of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor was also sung by Fang Qiu. That song has always been in my playlist.”
“With this singing ability, it’s a shame that Fang Qiu’s singing talent has to take second place to Chinese Medicine!”
On the campus forum of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, the juniors and seniors saw Fang Qiu’s popularity soar to the top of the trending.
All of them could not help sighing with emotion.
“This year is really like a dream.”
“Last year Fang Qiu was just a nobody competing for popularity among the freshmen. Now, Fang Qiu has risen to the top.”
“Yeah, Fang Qiu has risen to the top, but we are still us.”
“I feel ashamed.”
All the seniors smiled wryly.
One of the seniors said, “Stop talking about it. We’d better study hard.”
“Yeah, study.”
“If we don’t study now, we will be too old.”
“If we don’t learn, we’ll be swept aside by the younger generation like Fang Qiu.”
After the Start-of-Term Ceremony, Fang Qiu went back to his dormitory to read his books.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
In the afternoon, his cell phone rang.
Fang Qiu took out his phone and found that it was Li Ji.
“He finally calls.”
Fang Qiu answered the phone jokingly.
“Hello?”
Li Ji’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fang Qiu asked, “You’re here?”
“No.”
Li Ji said with a smile, “I’m just calling to tell you that I will come over next week.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu was not anxious.
“However, I need to wait for you to finish your work during those three days.”
Li Ji thought for a moment and said, “I think that you will be extremely busy during the three days when you are at the hospital. And the situation will also be very complicated. People who are in the queue and get to be treated by you will naturally be happy, but those who can’t be treated will be frustrated. I guess those people may kick up a fuss. You have to be careful.”
“Don’t worry.”
Fang Qiu replied, “I have a way to deal with it.”
“I know you’ve got lots of ways to deal with it, so I’m not worried at all. It’s just a reminder.”
Li Ji said with a smile.
“Is that so?”
Fang Qiu smiled and said, “I’m not worried about this, but you have to help me with something.”
Li Ji asked, “What’s the problem?”
Fang Qiu lowered his voice and told him.
After hearing what Fang Qiu said, Li Ji did not hesitate at all. He nodded directly and said, “Okay, I’ll take care of it.”
Fang Qiu nodded and hung up. “Okay, see you next week.”
The moment he put away his phone, he narrowed his eyes.
He sneered and said, “The mastermind who made use of the incident of the woman kneeling in the school gate to spread rumors to slander me on the Internet and also when I was trying to attract business investments before, are you ready?”
“I’m ready to get even!”
Early the next morning, as dawn broke, a crowd of people thronged outside the Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital.
In addition to the people who were queuing up to see the doctor, the major media companies from all over the country had rushed over to report the news and conduct interviews.
Of course, they also wanted to interview Fang Qiu.
After all, Fang Qiu had been hiding from them before. They never did not get a chance to interview Fang Qiu again, except when Fang Qiu simply said a few words during the business fair.
However, based on today’s situation, they might not be able to interview Fang Qiu because there were just too many people here.
Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital was a first-class comprehensive Chinese Medicine hospital that focused on medical treatment, scientific research, prevention, health care and recuperation. It boasted of having advanced equipment, strong technology and a wide range of departments to treat the sick.
The hospital covered an area of more than 30 acres.
At the gate of the hospital, there was a medium-size square. It was connected to a registration hall on the first floor.
The hall occupied a large area.
With the combination of the two, it was almost the size of a football field.
Now the registration hall was already packed with people. Even the square outside the hospital was crowded with people. Everyone was jammed together, wanting to enter the hospital to queue and register to see a doctor.
However, it was still early in the morning.
When the reporters arrived, they were all dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.
Then the reporters started to take photos. Some of them did video recordings and interviews.
The photos taken by the reporters were constantly posted on the Internet.
The massive crowds queuing at the hospital shocked all the netizens.
“What the f*ck. Are they fighting for money?”
“Oh my God! This is just the outside the hospital? Does this mean that the registration hall of the hospital is also full of people?”
“There are so many people. The security guards of the hospital are doing a good job. Although it looks crowded, they are still doing their best to maintain crowd control by making everyone queue in orderly lines. It isn’t chaotic because of the crowd.”
“It’s too crowded. The security guards can’t take care of it at all. I suggest they cordon off a part of it. Otherwise, accidents might happen.”
“@Jiangjing Public Security, please get there as soon as possible. Let’s hope there will be no stampede .”
Seeing so many people, all the netizens were extremely nervous.
Many netizens even commented on Jiangjing Public Security on Weibo and asked the police for help. Eventually, although they did not get a reply from Jiangjing Public Security, they found that the police and the traffic police had arrived at the scene through photos that were constantly sent from people on the scene.
The policemen who had encountered all kinds of situations before were also taken aback when they saw the crowd at the hospital. It was as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Whether it was the police or the traffic police, they all reported to their superiors and asked the higher-ups to quickly send people over to help, because there were numerous people waiting in line to see the doctor.
Under these circumstances, they could not afford to let anything bad happen.
Snapshots of the happenings at the scene were also sent to the headquarters of the police and the traffic police.
In the face of such a situation, the District Public Security Bureau and the traffic police brigade immediately held an emergency meeting and decided that their main task today was to maintain the security at the Chinese Medicine Hospital. No accidents were allowed to happen.
It was not just the police and the traffic police.
Even the local taxi drivers in Jiangjing were also involved.
“I’m at the gate of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. Everyone, listen up. Try not to take this road today and make a detour. Leave this road for those patients. We should inform our colleagues who are sending the patients to the hospital as soon as possible.”
“This is FM 98. Welcome to the Voice of Car.
“Before the start of the show, I want to share a piece of breaking news. Today Fang Qiu will be seeing patients in the Chinese Medicine Hospital. It’s reported that the gate of the hospital is packed with people. Drivers, please avoid the hospital. Try to keep the road near the hospital clear, to keep the way free for the patients.”
It was not just this radio station, but other radio stations in Jiangjing also started broadcasting the same notice.
When they heard these messages, many private car drivers started taking a detour to work.
In the registration hall of the hospital, a reporter, with the permission of the hospital, entered the hall through the back door with the help of the hospital security guard. Then he came to the registration window which was not open yet and interviewed a middle-aged man who was the first person in the queue.
The reporter asked, “Hello, sir. Are you here to seek treatment from Fang Qiu ?”
“Yes.”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “But I’m not the patient. My father is.”
The reporter asked, “Oh, where is your father?”
“Over there.”
The middle-aged man pointed to an old man with gray hair sitting on a row of chairs near the wall of the hall, not far away.
The reporter asked again, “May I ask what kind of disease your father suffers from?”
“Diabetes.”
The middle-aged man responded, “In order to find Fang Qiu to treat him, I took the high-speed train and brought my father here. It took me a lot of effort to register. I started queuing since yesterday.”
The reporter asked again, “Do you think Fang Qiu can cure your father’s disease?”
“Of course I hope Fang Qiu can cure my father’s disease.”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said seriously, “I’ve been paying attention to Fang Qiu. I think my father will have a greater chance to recover if Fang Qiu can treat him. If Fang Qiu can’t cure my father, then I’ll bring my father to another doctor. No matter how difficult it is, I must cure my father’s disease. My father has done so much for me. I am his only son, so if I do not carry out my filial duty toward him, who else would do it?”
The reporter said, “Okay, thank you for accepting my interview. I also hope that your father can recover soon.”
Then he continued to look for another suitable person in the crowd to interview.
As a result, he found that many of the people who were queuing were all from other provinces.
There were also a lot of local people.
It was no wonder that it was such a lively scene.
At 7 a.m., knowing that Fang Qiu was going to see patients today, Director Zhang Qishun who came to work an hour earlier was shocked by the size of the crowd queuing when he arrived at the hospital.
He could not even enter through the main entrance.
Director Zhang Qishun had no choice but to enter the hospital through the back door in order to reach his office upstairs.
He then saw the associate Director standing in front of the window and looking at the scene below.
Zhang Qishun asked, “What’s going on?”
“What do you think?”
Associate Director turned his head, looked at Zhang Qishun, and said, “It would be great if Chinese Medicine could be so popular.”
Zhang Qishun asked, “Are these people here for Fang Qiu?”
“Yes.”
Associate Director smiled wryly and said, “Some people have been waiting in line since last night. They want to register to see Fang Qiu. And I also inquired earlier. I found that these patients want him to treat them, no matter what kind of disease they have. I think the other departments will be empty today.”
“Fang Qiu is very popular.”
Director Zhang Qishun exclaimed and said, “Tell everyone to treat all these patients well. Don’t let anything go wrong. Under these circumstances, once something goes wrong, it will become a big deal. Good deeds will also become bad things.”
“Okay.”
Associate Director nodded and said, “I’ll give the instructions immediately.”
He left after that.
After the Associate Director left, Zhang Qishun walked to where he had just stood. Looking at the crowded scene downstairs, he couldn’t help sighing, “It would be great if there were so many patients daily at the hospital.”
“However, it will also be sad if we have so many patients daily!”
