Chen Mu seemed to be very familiar with the interior of this hospital.

He guided Su Bingbing, forcefully finding a path in the hospital where not many people walked.

They rode an elevator that only had the three of them and went upstairs.

Inside the elevator.

Chen Mu quietly opened his phone to check the payment record.

He glanced at the three-digit amount displayed.

Chen Mu silently closed the phone.

Next time, fruit baskets for such occasions should be bought from the school or the community nearby.

This little amount of stuff, how could it be worth over a hundred?

The prices at the hospital entrance are still so expensive...

—

"What's going on? Dr. Chen, such a dedicated person, not returning to the campus hospital during work hours?"

"Hiss! Does this count as live-streaming while skipping work?"

"Let's not talk about this topic in the comments, you might just be curious, but there might be troublemakers in the live stream, then the Education Bureau and the Health Bureau would have to come by again..."

"Sending a fruit basket usually costs three to five hundred, and Dr. Chen thinks over a hundred is expensive?"

"Whether it's expensive depends on what was bought, Hai City is a place where fruits are cheap, somewhere else the fruits in those baskets would barely cost fifty..."

"..."

—

"Ding—"

With the sound of the elevator.

Chen Mu carried the fruit basket, using one hand to take off his white coat.

He walked smilingly towards the ICU.

Before he got close to the ICU.

"Hey! What are you doing?" He was stopped by the hospital's diligent nurse.

Su Bingbing jogged forward, presenting her reporter's ID, "Hello, we are here for a program, we have already coordinated with your hospital on the way here, and we can film as long as we don't disrupt hospital order."

"How about this, we can wait here while you call your superior?"

The nurse hesitantly looked at Su Bingbing.

Just as she was considering whether to do as Su Bingbing said, the phone suddenly rang.

"They're already here."

"Alright, alright, as long as they don't make a fuss and disrupt the order, we won't stop them from recording."

The nurse answered the phone and stepped aside.

Letting Chen Mu and his group through.

—

There were a few people outside the glass corridor of the ICU, craning their necks to look in.

Upon hearing the commotion on this side.

They turned their heads.

A woman in her fifties was wiping her tears.

And a man with an absurdly thick head of hair saw Chen Mu, and his eyes lit up instantly.

He walked over quickly.

When he saw the fruit basket in Chen Mu's hand, he paused.

Looking at Chen Mu with a strange expression, "Still as crafty as ever! Making sure to do the face-saving work!"

"I must be getting old; my mind isn't what it used to be. I didn't even think about it; the person isn't awake yet, but you can still come with a fruit basket."

As he spoke.

He even peeked into Chen Mu's fruit basket.

"Whoa!"

While speaking, he gave Chen Mu a thumbs up.

"Such a big basket of things, not even over fifty bucks, Chen, you're quite the showman!"

"A real veteran showman!"

Chen Mu's expression stiffened.

The next moment.

He looked at the person in front of him with a half-smile, "Vice Principal Zheng, our school's military training isn't even over yet!"

Vice Principal Zheng: "..."

The teasing look on his face disappeared instantly.

Chen Mu lowered his gaze slightly, "Even having the mood to care about my fruit basket only shows that Vice Principal Zheng isn't busy enough. How about this, later on, I'll have all the counselors contact you?"

"No, no, no!!!" Upon hearing Chen Mu's voice.

Vice Principal Zheng's head shook like a rattle, "Dr. Chen, I've never seen anyone with such a good fruit basket, these fruits are so rare, I've never seen them before!"

"You've really splurged to visit the principal."

Chen Mu's lips twitched, "You'd better keep quiet!"

With that.

Chen Mu didn't continue to pay attention to Vice Principal Zheng and quickly walked towards the large glass window of the ICU.

Seeing the principal's wife standing there silently shedding tears.

Chen Mu put down the fruit basket and pulled out a pack of tissues.

Opened it.

Took out a tissue and handed it over.

"Dr. Chen, thank you."

The principal's wife wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing the principal's condition, Chen Mu was visibly taken aback, "Is the principal's condition that serious?"

"Yes, the hospital told us that whether he makes it through depends on whether he wakes up tonight."

"Dr. Chen, you're a doctor, could you tell me if he can wake up?"

Facing the hopeful eyes of the principal's wife.

Chen Mu also felt a bit uncomfortable, gently shaking his head, "From this distance, I can't check his pulse, how would I know?"

"Right, Dr. Chen, I'm sorry..."

Seeing the principal's wife still wiping tears, Chen Mu couldn't help but offer some comfort, "Actually, I believe the principal will wake up."

Upon hearing this.

The principal's wife's eyes shone with light, "Dr. Chen, how can you say that?"

Chen Mu stared at the situation inside the ICU, saying flatly, "The principal, who thinks about retirement every day, wouldn't let go before getting his pension."

Principal's wife: "..."

—

"Guys… does Dr. Chen think he's comforting people here?"

"Maybe? Perhaps? Possibly?"

"If that counts as comforting, I can only say Dr. Chen surely knows how to comfort people."

"The principal isn't even awake, what's Dr. Chen here for, just to say such a comforting word?"

"..."

—

Feeling the principal's wife's awkwardness.

Chen Mu also felt a bit embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at comforting words."

The principal's wife shook her head helplessly, picking up the fruit basket from the ground, "Dr. Chen, your intention has been received by both me and the principal."

"I think with the school being so busy now, you didn't come all this way just for the principal."

"It's just that I'm here, and you didn't want it to be awkward without bringing something."

"School matters are more important."

Chen Mu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, "Is my purpose that obvious? Thank you, Principal's wife, for understanding."

A few awkward courtesies followed.

Chen Mu walked back to Vice Principal Zheng.

Seeing Chen Mu coming towards him, Vice Principal Zheng squinted at him.

Without making a sound.

Chen Mu: "Principal Zheng, I saw from social media that Zheng Xin has returned to the country, it seems he hasn't found a job here yet. If possible, could he work at Hai City University's hospital for a few days?"

Seeing Vice Principal Zheng remaining silent.

Chen Mu continued, "I know over the years, physicians who left Hai City University don't want to come back, but as part of the school administration, you should know this as well."

"Usually it wouldn't matter, but now, during military training, having just one physician is really not enough."

Vice Principal Zheng paused for a moment, "Why don't you talk directly to Zheng Xin about this matter, instead of coming to me?"

"If he agrees..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Mu interrupted, "Zheng Xin has already agreed, but said you were the one who kept obstructing, so I came directly to you."

"I know it's because you're concerned about the peculiar cases at Hai City University and worry about him facing medical disputes, hence not letting him return."

"So, Zheng Xin and I agreed that Hai City University would only need him for half a month, and he can leave once military training is over."

"Moreover, I only need him to help with some hospital equipment checks, there's no need for him to see patients."

"As long as he doesn't see patients, he won't bear any liability."

Listening to Chen Mu's words, Vice Principal Zheng lapsed into silence.

After a long pause.

Vice Principal Zheng nodded, "Fine, it's your young people's matters, do as you see fit."

—

While Chen Mu and Vice Principal Zheng were talking.

Suddenly!

A woman appeared out of nowhere, directly rushing in front of them, and knelt in front of the camera!

Crying and wailing loudly, "The First People's Hospital killed my husband, and they still haven't given an explanation. How is my family supposed to go on?"
