Chapter 498: The Power of an Internet Celebrity
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
Tian Xiaomeng was frustrated. It was depressing to the point of vomiting blood. She was a popular girl, being especially famous on the internet as an internet celeb. Yet now, as she was accompanying her mother to see a doctor today, she was left speechless, for the entirety of the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital was fully filled with a sea of people. And it wasn’t even 8 AM! The most important fact was that the number had not only reduced, but had suddenly increased instead.
“Mom, come on! Let’s leave this place and go to another hospital. There are so many people here, we may not be able to get a number even if we wait for three days and three nights!” Said Tian Xiaomeng with a helpless expression while standing in the line nearby the hospital’s entrance.
“No. I heard that the young divine doctor, whose medical skills are extraordinary, has finally come to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital to render his medical services. It will be a pity if we don’t get a number after standing in line. Rumor has it that the young divine doctor, Tang Xiu, can diagnose and treat very fast. If… if we are lucky, maybe we can get on the line today!” Zhao Qin said, as even she herself was not sure about it. Nearly in her 50s, she still retained a graceful bearing.
“Mom, please have a look at the people here. Needless to say that the young divine doctor could treat very fast, but even if he’s able to treat a person every three to five minutes, I’m afraid that our turn will not come today! Just look around, there are so many of them that they look like ants,” said Tian Xiaomeng helplessly.
“Let’s just wait and see,” said Zhao Qin with a forced smile.
Tian Xiaomeng knew her mother’s physical condition. She had a kind of precordium ache that always pained her, yet nobody was able to detect the problem or its condition. It always made her mother worried and uneasy. Since she really wanted that young divine doctor, Tang Xiu, to diagnose and treat her, then she would accompany her herself.
As she looked around, Tian Xiaomeng sighed inwardly, “This Tang Xiu, who is touted as a young divine doctor, is truly amazing. Merely coming to this Chinese Medical Hospital to provide his medical services, yet so many patients have already recognized and come to see him. He’s virtually a model for my generation. If my live broadcast channel was so popular and had so many loyal followers, how good would that be…”
Suddenly, her expression moved, as an idea surfaced in her mind. The glint in her eyes turned more vivid as she glanced around. Her eyes finally landed on a family of three near her, and asked, “Hello, may I ask you something?”
The young woman who was hugging her child smilingly replied, “What do you want to ask?”
“Are you also here for the young divine doctor?” Asked Tian Xiaomeng.
The young woman nodded, “Of course. I came here to see that young divine doctor for consultation and treatment. My daughter has been in poor health, and the problem is with her kidneys. We have already spent a lot of money and visited many hospitals, yet there has been no cure for her. So when I heard that the young divine doctor can cure my daughter’s illness, we rushed from Jingmen Island. And not only that, we have been waiting here for a few days.”
With eyes turned wide, Tian Xiaomeng exclaimed in alarm, “You are from Jingmen Island? And… and you’ve been waiting here for several days?”
“Yeah! Why are you getting excited over this little mater? More than half of the patients here have heard his fame and hail from every part of the country. I even heard that some people have been waiting here for more than a month,” said the young woman.
_Badum, badum, badum!_
Tian Xiaomeng could feel her heart crazily pounding. The shock made her unable to calm down for a long period of time. After a long while, only then did she remember to take her mobile phone out and access her live broadcast channel.
“WOOT! The anchor is unexpectedly online now! That’s great!”
“Isn’t the broadcast time 8 PM every day? Luckily, I got a reminder set up whenever the anchor gets online, or else I would have missed seeing the goddess-like host.”
“The Meng girl is coming online at this hour? That’s strange, where are you now, girl? How could there be so many people around you???”
“Hey, Goddess, where exactly are you?”
“What kind of situation are you in now, Mengmeng?”
“…”
Just as Tian Xiaomeng appeared on her live channel, the number of people online rose. In a few minutes, the number of followers online her channel had reached more than 4,000 people.
After reading the comments, Tian Xiaomeng finally coughed softly and said, “Hello, everyone. I broadcast at 8 PM every day. But today, I just came across a very big event. This is simply an incredible sight if I may say, so I want to share it with all of you.
“Do you see the people around me? This sea of people? I’m now in Shuangqing Province’s Star City, at the Chinese Medical Hospital. As of today, a young divine doctor came to render his medical services here, and tens of thousands people who heard about his fame are now flocking here from every part of the country.
“Just as I learned about this situation, I was so shocked my heart nearly jumped out. There are too many people here, guys! Some of them come from other regions, and they have arrived in Star City a couple days ago; there are some others who have come a month ago, and have been waiting since just because they want to see that young divine doctor, to get diagnosed and treated by him. This makes me unable to imagine to what degree and how extraordinary that young divine doctor is! Why so many people came to see him and consult their health and get his treatment?
“Have you ever saw something like this? There’s too many patients here to see the doctors, and even the police from the Public Security Bureau came to maintain order! I myself just had a look outside the hospital, and the number of policemen inside and outside the hospital has now reached several hundred at the least…”
