The conversation between Tang Xiu and Chu Guoxiong as well as Tian Xiaomeng’s remark were quickly reproduced by many people and presented on many major medias. The number of impressions, clicks, and shares increased at astonishing speed.
Tang Xiu became hot news, and so did Chu Guoxiong.
Even Tian Xiaomeng, who was but only a small player broadcaster, was also caught in the limelight. The degree of sensation and fame was far bigger than those famous internet celebrities.
Numerous coverages and reports spread out, praises of countless people, filling comment boxes, and appearing in all sorts of social media platforms and chat applications. Numerous patients and their family members began preparing their baggage, despite half-believing and half-doubting the news, yet bringing hope and expectation as they went to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital to see them.
At the same time, a large number of benevolent people and institutions throughout the country also contacted Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, ready to donate money to the relief fund set up by the hospital.

_At Star City Chinese Medical Hospital…_
Inside his spacious and brightly lit President’s Office, Li Hongji held a cup of hot tea in a relaxed manner, while savoring the scent brought by the curling steam from the tea. In just these two days, the reputation of the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital has been constantly improving; which made him very excited. Although he would soon retire, it could be considered as giving himself a respectable face for being the President for so many years in the hospital.
The door of the office was forced open, and Vice President Chen Xinlin strode inside, speaking with a smiling face, “President, something major has just happened.”
Li Hongji slightly creased his brows. Had it been before, he’d have scolded Chen Xinlin for daring to rush in without knocking first, but he was now in a good mood, hence he didn’t do so. Hearing this, he straightened his waist and asked in a relaxed manner, “What major event?”
“I received dozens of calls in the last half an hour. There are many benevolent people and public figures who want to donate money to the relief fund set up by our hospital. Do you know how much money we received after I announced our hospital’s relief fund account to the public?” Said Chen Xinlin.
Stunned, Li Hongji asked in disbelief, “Donations? Why do they want to donate? And what did you say again… How much have we received, exactly?”
“President, we have received almost 300,000 yuan to our public relief fund, which is the data I got before I came here. There are a total of 407 remittances from all corners of the country and the globe. Additionally, among those who called me, there were six company groups and two charity organizations that are preparing to donate as well. As for why they’re doing that, please have a look at the headlines of the major medias on the Internet. You will understand after you see it,” Said Chen Xinlin.
Although he was quite shocked that 407 donations came within just half an hour, Li Hongji was still able to react quickly. He turned on his mobile and, after browsing and reading some websites’ homepages, disbelief painted his old face.
“This video…”
Looking excited and nodding repeatedly, Chen Xinlin said, “Yeah, that’s right. It’s because of this video. It is said that a live broadcaster secretly came to our Star City Chinese Medical Hospital and secretly took footage at the door of Dr. Tang’s consultation room. Inside were Divine Doctor Tang and Dr. Chu Guoxiong currently engaged in conversation, and it was exactly it’s content that has caused such a huge sensation. If you look at it, you can see that the number of the threads and posts as well as the number of commentaries on them. There’s so many that it’s unbelievable.”
Li Hongji kept browsing and reading for ten minutes. He couldn’t stay calm. He felt excited as well as joyful, for he knew perfectly well what significance this video could have to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. It meant that his hospital would become a famous existence throughout the country.
What was the most important thing for a hospital? Wasn’t it all about fame and reputation?
Only when a hospital had a reputation could it be approved and recognized by the public, hence leading to the visits of a large number of people seeking medical treatment. And as the President of Star City Chinese Medical Hospital himself, it was the highest honor for him to make the hospital under his jurisdiction have such a big reputation.
“Great, great, it’s really great!” Joy and excitement covered Li Hongji’s face as he tightly gripped his right fist.
“President, looking at the current trend, our hospital can expect to receive a lot of funds,” said Chen Xinlin as he smilingly said. “Anyways, what should we do next? Shall we do it like we have announced and that we’ll publish the usage of the relief fund openly and transparently?”
The smile on Li Hongji’s face gradually faded away. Common saying said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. With so many benevolent and caring people donating to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, he must use every penny very carefully, efficiently, and straightly on target.
“Little Chen, you’ve been managing the financial affairs of our hospital all this while, and I trust you in this aspect very much. Hence, every penny we receive from the hospital’s relief fund must be disclosed to the public, meaning that all the cash flow, from where the money comes and to whom it’ll be given, must be transparently open to the public. I will make things clear to you. If any problems were occur, don’t blame me if I take harsh and strict measures. After all, the reputation of our Star City Chinese Medical Hospital is at the stake here.”
“President, I know what to do,” said Chen Xinlin seriously with a nod.
