Chapter 30 Protagonist Halo and the Coldness of Human Relationships

Just as Xiao Tianhe and his daughter Xiao Yilin were discussing Zhao Yanshu's election as a dual academician, Yu Chenzhou was driving to the city hospital and also learned of the news at the same time.

The reason for this was that his personal sect chat group on his phone had already exploded with activity.

The senior students chatted enthusiastically about the news that had just been broadcast the night before, their words filled with joy and congratulations.

They also tagged Zhao Yanshu to congratulate their teacher on being elected as a dual academician.

Yu Chenzhou, who had just seen the group message and learned that Zhao Yanshu had been awarded the title of dual academician, paused slightly with his hand on the steering wheel, his face instantly filled with astonishment.

He subconsciously glanced at the time on the car's center console, and only after confirming that the date was correct did he turn his attention back to the sudden turn of events.

In the original storyline that he was familiar with, Zhao Yanshu would indeed be selected as a dual academician, but that time should clearly be two years later.

It was precisely because it was two whole years late.

Zhao Yanshu just missed out on the title of "youngest double academician".

But now, this crucial time point has been moved forward by two years. Such a bizarre deviation has left Yu Chenzhou feeling deeply puzzled.

"Could something have happened that I don't know about?"

While sending voice messages to reply to the greetings from his senior brothers and sisters, and also congratulating his teacher, Yu Chenzhou was secretly pondering to himself, his brows unconsciously furrowing slightly.

Just as he was racking his brains and took out his phone to find out his teacher's number, intending to call and ask what was going on, the car had already smoothly arrived at the entrance of the city hospital, just in time to reach its destination.

Since it's a brand new car, the official license plate hasn't been delivered yet, so there's only a temporary license plate on the car.

Vehicles with temporary license plates need to scan a code to register before the gate can be opened.

However, just as Yu Chenzhou slowly rolled down the car window and held his phone, ready to scan the QR code in front of the booth...

Old Xu, who was sitting in the guard post, spotted him at a glance. Instantly, he changed his previous aloofness and coldness, quickly walked out of the guard post, and greeted him warmly.

"Dr. Yu, did you get a new car?"

No need to scan the code, I'll open the door for you right away!

That overly attentive and enthusiastic demeanor was a world apart from the indifferent attitude he displayed two days ago when Yu Chenzhou came and went, barely even lifting his eyelids. He was like a completely different person.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

Previously at the city hospital, even though Yu Chenzhou had some connections, in this small area where the hospital director had the final say, Director Zhang He's power was still not to be underestimated.

Therefore, ever since Yu Chenzhou was deliberately targeted by Zhang He, his situation in the hospital has plummeted. He has become a pariah that everyone avoids, and everyone is afraid of getting involved with him and offending the hospital director.

Seeing the stark contrast in Old Xu's previously obsequious demeanor, Yu Chenzhou instantly understood the reason behind it.

He must have benefited from the fact that his teacher, Zhao Yanshu, was elected as one of the two academicians.

Although Yu Chenzhou never intended to use his teacher's connections to smooth things over with the dean's targeting, almost everyone in the city hospital knew that he was Zhao Yanshu's student.

In the eyes of others, with the support of his two academician professors, he is no longer a pushover.

Thanks.

Yu Chenzhou didn't take Lao Xu's overtures too seriously. After politely thanking him, he drove into the hospital.

"My goodness, this is a Cadillac Escalade! The base price is $150! This car isn't cheap!"

Old Xu didn't take Yu Chenzhou's indifferent response to heart at all. After seeing clearly what kind of car Yu Chenzhou was driving, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and muttered a surprised sentence, his tone full of envy.

After successfully parking the car, Yu Chenzhou got out and walked along the tree-lined path of the hospital towards his office.

Along the way, everyone who knew him, whether it was his colleagues in the department, the nurses at the nurses' station, or the cleaning lady responsible for cleaning the floors, would stop and come up to greet him.

His face was beaming with a warm smile, a stark contrast to the cold indifference he had shown just two days prior.

"Is this what they call 'when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'? That's truly bizarre."

Yu Chenzhou silently grumbled to himself, feeling quite dismayed by the stark contrast in treatment he had received.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face unless they are mortal enemies.

So when faced with the sudden and enthusiastic greetings from everyone, Yu Chenzhou did not put on airs. Instead, he smiled and nodded in response to each greeting, his tone gentle and his manners impeccable.

But when he reached the door of his office and pushed open the familiar wooden door, he was still stunned for a moment when he saw the bright, clean, and brand-new room in front of him.

The documents on the desk were neatly arranged, the floor was spotless, and even the dust that had settled on the windowsill had been wiped clean.

He then shook his head self-deprecatingly, the scene from a month ago flashing through his mind.

He specifically asked the cleaning lady to come and help clean the office, but she made an excuse and refused to even acknowledge him.

Now, without him saying a word, the office has been cleaned up and looks brand new.

"Jianghu, what is Jianghu? This is Jianghu."

Wherever there are people, there is a social hierarchy, and there is the fickle nature of human relationships characterized by sycophancy and opportunism!

After saying this with a tone that was both sarcastic and helpless, Yu Chenzhou walked straight to his desk and sat down.

He then reached for the computer on the table, habitually found the login page for the medical office system, and entered his account and password.

Two days ago, this login action would have been meaningless.

Because Dean Zhang He had long ago suspended his access to the medical office system in order to target him, even if he successfully logged in, no patients could make an appointment with him, and he could only idly play games in his office.

But today was clearly different. As soon as he successfully logged into his account, a new message popped up on his computer screen.

It is the patient's registration notification, which clearly displays the patient's name, age, and the department they are visiting.

Although Dean Zhang He has not yet taken the initiative to contact him or said a single kind word, the act of restoring his registration privileges is undoubtedly a gesture of appeasement and a disguised apology.

However, Yu Chenzhou remained unmoved by the dean's belated gesture of goodwill, his eyes still calm and unwavering.

He knew very well that Zhang He's submission was not because he genuinely realized his own problems, but simply because he learned that his teacher, Zhao Yanshu, had been elected as a dual academician.

Knowing that he had kicked a hornet's nest and couldn't afford to offend the powerful figure behind him, he had no choice but to back down, which can be described as a move of pure desperation.

Thinking about this series of unexpected events that deviated from the original plot, a thought suddenly popped into Yu Chenzhou's mind, and he couldn't help but begin to have doubts:

Could it be that my protagonist aura is starting to kick in?

In the original novel, Zhao Yanshu's election as a dual academician occurred after he and Gu Mo had a public falling out at the hospital, followed by strong suppression from Gu Mo's family.

It only appears when he's in such dire straits that he's about to collapse; it's a crucial plot point specifically designed to help him out of his predicament.

Although he himself did not take Dean Zhang He's suppression seriously, the protagonist's halo might not be aware of his true abilities.

After all, the protagonist's halo in urban dramas is always ridiculously powerful, and it only provides help when the protagonist needs it most.

In the original work, anyone who has a conflict with Yu Chenzhou or actively provokes him is considered a "person of conflict."

In the end, influenced by this absurd protagonist halo, they all end up in his hands by chance and twist of fate.

The main strategy is to retaliate in kind, allowing him to firmly gain the upper hand.

However, the original owner's personality was too weak, and she also had a motherly heart, and she had a girlfriend, Su Qinghuan, who was also overflowing with motherly hearts.

Therefore, the original plot followed a heartwarming path of repaying evil with good. No matter how the other party targeted the original owner, the original owner would eventually choose to forgive, resulting in a happy ending for everyone.

And to make this happy ending more convincing.

In each episode of repaying evil with good, the original owner's inner hesitation and psychological struggle are deliberately interspersed.

These drawn-out plot points are essentially meant to advance the relationship between the original owner and Su Qinghuan, allowing their bond to grow stronger through mutual comfort.

In other words, the storyline is now officially entering its second phase.

But when I think about the outrageous patients who will appear in the second phase of the original work, and the bizarre plots that will unfold around those patients...

Yu Chenzhou's face darkened, and he felt a headache coming on, with a strong sense of resistance rising in his heart.

"If that's the case, then I'd better find a way to run away as soon as possible."

"If I continued to stay in this hospital, facing those bizarre scenarios that challenged my moral compass every day, along with those unreasonable and eccentric patients and their families, I'd probably go insane in no time."

Yu Chenzhou's tone was full of determination, and his desire to run away grew stronger.

As Yu Chenzhou got up and straightened the collar of his white coat, preparing to receive patients, he quickly calculated his next plan in his mind and considered the feasibility of running away.

He carefully recalled the original plot, and if he remembered correctly, in the coming period, several patients would appear one after another, driving the doctors to the brink of collapse. These were roughly the following typical cases:

One of them was a pregnant woman with congenital heart disease. After a thorough examination, the doctor clearly told her that her physical condition fully supported a smooth delivery first, and then a heart transplant surgery would be performed at a later date, which would minimize the surgical risks.

However, for some unknown reason, she insisted that the doctor perform both a cesarean section and a heart transplant on her at the same time.

The surgery was ultimately successful thanks to the doctors' best efforts, but she was ungrateful and didn't take the anti-rejection medication on her own, ultimately killing herself.

Instead of reflecting on their own problems, her family pushed all the blame onto the attending physician, filing a lawsuit against the hospital and the doctor, demanding huge compensation.

Another example is when a wife comes to the hospital for a prenatal checkup after becoming pregnant. The mother-in-law who accompanies her is on edge the whole time, hoping that her daughter-in-law will give birth to a grandson.

Based solely on a casual gesture made by the doctor during the examination, she hastily concluded that her wife was carrying a girl.

He immediately harbored evil intentions and then went to great lengths to sabotage his daughter-in-law, eventually resorting to all sorts of underhanded tricks to get rid of the child.

However, after the miscarriage, when it was discovered through examination that she was actually carrying a boy, the husband not only did not blame his mother for her foolish behavior, but instead directed his anger at the hospital.

The lawsuit alleges "insinuation" by the hospital, claiming that the doctor's actions misled his mother, leading to the tragedy.

In addition, there was a wife who had just become pregnant. Because of her weak health, the fetus was somewhat unstable, so the doctor prescribed medication to prevent miscarriage and instructed her to take it on time.

However, her mother-in-law held onto the outdated belief that "all medicines have some toxicity" and worried that the pregnancy-preserving medicine would affect the fetus's intelligence. So, when her daughter-in-law wasn't paying attention, she secretly replaced the pregnancy-preserving medicine with ordinary vitamins.

Ultimately, due to the lack of timely intervention to prevent miscarriage, the child was unfortunately miscarried.

What's baffling is that after learning the truth, the husband didn't blame his mother for her ignorance and selfishness either.

Instead, they brought their families to the hospital and demanded compensation for their "emotional distress" and "physical injury".

Even more outrageous, a family member of a leukemia relapse patient wanted a pregnant woman who had previously been a match to donate bone marrow to their son again.

He disregarded the woman's pregnancy and secretly orchestrated her miscarriage, showing no remorse whatsoever, only thinking about saving his son.

These are just a few of the cases that left a deep impression on Yu Chenzhou.

Besides these, many other similar bizarre scenarios await him.

In summary, each of the events that are about to unfold will severely challenge Yu Chenzhou's moral bottom line, plunging him into endless trouble and entanglement.
