Chen Mu watched for a while, and finally noticed something was off.
"Zheng Xin, why haven't they left after taking the Huoxiang Zhengqi?"
"Why do I see them heading into the university hospital?"
Chen Mu was somewhat shocked.
He couldn't understand what these frail college students were up to.
Upon hearing Chen Mu speak like this.
Zheng Xin chuckled, "Dr. Chen, you finally noticed something was amiss, let me show you something that could shock you for a whole year! Hahaha!!!"
Chen Mu pursed his lips.
He began to wonder what might have happened at the university hospital in his absence.
"Lao Chen! Look quickly!"
"I bet you haven't seen such a scene in the two years you've been here, right?"
"Hahaha!!!"
Zheng Xin's exaggerated laughter echoed once more from the phone.
"Hiss!"
As Chen Mu followed the direction of the lens, he couldn't help but gasp.
What Zheng Xin filmed.
Was an empty room in the university hospital that had been unused.
Now, on the floor, there were over a dozen kettles simultaneously boiling water.
Several volunteers with red armbands were waiting with thermos bottles on the side.
Judging by the setup, once the water boiled, they would quickly pour it out.
As for why there were so many kettles at the university hospital.
It started with the university doctors who, upon resigning, dumped all their junk on Chen Mu.
Once a kettle of water boiled, someone immediately poured it out eagerly.
After pouring it out.
Not even leaving a second for the kettle to rest, they quickly refilled it with cool water.
Then placed it on the electric base on the floor, continuing to boil water.
Seeing this scene.
Chen Mu was completely numb.
"I don't think our university hospital demands this much boiled water..."
Zheng Xin, as if anticipating Chen Mu's response, sneered, "Don't you think?"
"Let me show you an even more shocking sight."
Zheng Xin, holding his phone, left the room boiling water.
And continued walking forward.
Just after turning a corner.
Chen Mu once again saw a staggering long line.
If truly distinguishing between this queue and the one at the observation room.
The primary difference might be the frail students in this line each held a Huoxiang Zhengqi bottle.
Is it really necessary to diagnose heavy humidity in the observation room before queuing here?
This thought barely emerged in Chen Mu's mind before he felt absurd, wondering why such a notion appeared in his head.
Watching Zheng Xin persistently tease.
Chen Mu was somewhat infuriated.
The moment he returned to campus, his first act would be to fire Zheng Xin.
Besides, now that the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine had sent so many laborers, at least during the military training period, the university hospital should temporarily have enough staff!
Regarding Zheng Xin, he could completely burn bridges after crossing.
Zheng Xin, unaware of Chen Mu's thoughts, continued forward with his phone, "Dr. Chen, you must keep your eyes wide open next!"
"I guarantee, in your subsequent medical career, you might not ever witness such an absurd spectacle again."
Zheng Xin laughed as he joked with Chen Mu.
"Da-da-da-da!!!"
"Dr. Chen, please look!!!"
Zheng Xin swung the camera over.
And Chen Mu saw.
Inside the university hospital.
Previously used for student IV drips, the large observation room.
Was unexpectedly full of students.
Seeing this sight.
Chen Mu instantly felt unwell.
He remembered the observation room could accommodate five hundred patients simultaneously.
Looking at this scene now.
The observation room was actually full?
In an instant.
Chen Mu felt all his blood rushing to his brain, "Zheng! You said nothing was wrong with the school? The observation room is packed with people!"
While Chen Mu was about to explode with anger.
Zheng Xin, on the phone, was still able to laugh, "Lao Chen, don't rush, take a closer look, do any of these students have an IV pole?"
"Look more closely at what's under these students' feet."
Chen Mu: "Huh?"
With Zheng Xin's prompt, Chen Mu followed the cue to observe the students in the observation room.
And felt even worse.
In the observation room, with five hundred people neatly arranged, each had a foot bath basin underfoot.
The front row.
One student was pouring Huoxiang Zhengqi into their foot bath basin.
—
"Hiss! If Dr. Chen is numb, I'm numb too, where on earth did Hai City University find so many talents?"
"At noon, not eating in the cafeteria, not napping in the dormitory, but lining up at the university hospital for a foot bath?"
"No wonder the kettles next door are working to exhaustion, so many people's foot bath water can't be supplied by just a few small kettles!"
"Aren't there hot water dispensers in the university hospital? Why aren't they getting water directly from them?"
"The person at the front seems older, nowadays the hot water stations are not like they used to be, you need a card to get water, filling a thermos bottle costs at least a buck."
"Getting water from the hot water machine for this many foot baths could max out a water card!"
"Exactly! Who volunteers would want to pay out of pocket? Using cool water and boiling it means the water and electricity costs are covered by the school's budget!"
"..."
—
Seeing this scene.
Though Chen Mu was mentally strong, he was momentarily speechless.
After a while.
Chen Mu finally regained his voice, "No..."
"Let me sort this out..."
"Those few graduate students outside the observation room were diagnosing whether their constitution suited a Huoxiang Zhengqi foot bath."
"If suitable, they directly give them a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi, and they immediately have their foot bath at our university hospital?"
Seeing Zheng Xin nod.
Knowing he was on the right track, Chen Mu's mind was still full of questions, "Then? There must be hundreds of people in this room, right?"
"Where did so many foot bath basins come from?"
Zheng Xin chuckled, "With a large group, naturally, there are plenty of birds of all sorts. Even with many college students, you're bound to have a few rich kids!"
"One student thought communal foot baths at the university hospital were interesting, and generously donated several hundred foot bath basins."
"They say the campus's small supermarkets have run out of plastic basins!"
Chen Mu: "..."
He couldn't keep up with this nonsense.
He hung up Zheng Xin's call outright.
Turning around, he patted Driver He's shoulder, "Old He! Do me a favor! Speed up!"
"If I don't return to the university hospital soon, it'll be turned into Huaguo Mountain by these frail monkeys!"
Driver He laughed heartily in agreement.
—
A few minutes later.
The campus ambulance had just stopped under the university hospital building.
Without waiting for the vehicle to stabilize, Chen Mu yanked open the door and dashed out.
Originally, Chen Mu planned to first find Zheng Xin to settle accounts.
But just entering the university hospital, he heard a shrill cry.
Turning his head.
He saw several graduate students standing helplessly at the observation room's entrance, while those frail students clutching Huoxiang Zhengqi were actually walking out together.
Not planning to continue the foot bath at the university hospital?
