Chapter 88: Chapter 82: The System Encourages Rebellion, Bleeding Gums Are a Big Deal, and Grandma’s Eyes Sparkle! [Fourth Update, Please Vote]
Actually, Chen Qian and the others were feeling a bit melancholy.
Because the live stream was about to end, yet today there were only thirteen thousand viewers.
Although compared to the last time there was quite a growth in numbers, the overall growth trend was still far from satisfactory.
The main reason was that today’s live stream was too monotonous.
Just when they thought today would just pass by, and were about to head back to the county for work, unexpectedly, a fan of Dr. Zhang arrived.
How to say...
This kind of unexpected fan meeting during a consultation is actually the healthiest way.
After all, visiting one or two villages...
Happened to have students on holiday at home...
Or perhaps someone came across Dr. Zhang on TikTok...
Then each time one or two people come for a consultation...
It can add a lot of unique fun to what seems like a boring live stream, and prevents it from becoming tedious.
"Huh? A fan??"
Zhang Lingchuan looked at the round-faced girl with a ponytail, with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
Could it be that it’s been leaked again?
Doesn’t seem like it.
If it were leaked, it wouldn’t just be one person who came.
Could it really be an offline encounter with a fan?
His luck...
"Yeah, yeah! Dr. Zhang, I’m a loyal fan of yours. Take a look at this title. When I found out you were here, I specifically waited for you at the village entrance."
The round-faced ponytail girl said sincerely, and even showed her loyal fan badge.
According to TikTok regulations, so-called loyal fans are those who have watched the live stream more than three times, and each time have stayed for long durations.
"Seems like you really are a fan. I’m honored to be liked. But girl, since you’re my fan, you should know that I’m a veterinarian. Bleeding gums, this kind of ailment, typically you’d go to a hospital, right? I’m not a dentist. It’s meaningless for you to find me!"
Zhang Lingchuan felt exasperated.
Others coming for the fun is one thing.
How can a real fan be doing the same?
If someone didn’t know, they’d think it’s a fake fan!
"Though Dr. Zhang has previously treated quite a few people, seeking a dentist for gum bleeding is indeed more appropriate."
"Indeed..., it seems Dr. Zhang always looks pretty helpless, but his helplessness is remarkably handsome."
"Why is there a peculiar feeling when watching Dr. Zhang give consultations, like relatives viewing a vet as a doctor; as if those who study computer science can fix computers, or nurses can treat patients."
"Upstairs, this remark is practically said by someone every time the stream starts."
"Hehehe, guess whether Dr. Zhang will help with the consultation this time?"
"Though animals do have teeth, asking a vet to diagnose dental issues for people, Dr. Zhang would most likely refuse."
"+1, I really want to see a segment where he treats people, but at present, Dr. Zhang is unlikely to assist. He himself has said he refused."
Even though someone came for the consultation again...
Quite a few water friends in the stream were eagerly watching.
But there are still many sensible viewers.
Who believe dental issues aren’t something Dr. Zhang would address.
"Dr. Zhang, I know, but my grandma’s gums are mysteriously bleeding, and her spirit isn’t good. Yet she insists she’s fine and refuses to go to the hospital. Since you’re coming to Shanya Village, I thought I’d ask you to take a look. I know you can’t charge, but I can send donations! I’ll donate to you right now!!"
As she said this, the girl took out her phone.
A skinny, almost frail, old woman stood a bit at a loss beside her.
Her hair was entirely silver.
Her back was a bit hunched.
Her face was full of wrinkles.
Her age should be quite advanced.
Perhaps the old woman was baffled, wondering what donations were.
After all, rural grandmothers from places like Qing County are completely different from those in the city.
To put it bluntly, and even harshly, elderly rural folks from impoverished areas like Qing County are almost like they’re abandoned by the modern world.
They don’t know what the internet is, can’t use phones, and have no idea about internet streaming.
"Stop! Girl, stop now!!!"
In the live stream.
And at the scene.
Everyone saw Zhang Lingchuan getting visibly upset for the first time.
And the girl with her phone was stunned, maybe even scared.
"Girl! And friends in the live stream, let me state clearly here, I, Zhang Lingchuan, do not accept any donation with a profit motive! If you truly like, you can send me free gifts, but please do not send any sort of profitable donations! If you’re looking for my consultation, because I’m originally a veterinarian, others are just a hobby, if the timing and expertise align, I might take a look, but only a look, you’d still need to go to the hospital for a check-up. But if you donate money wanting a consultation, I will absolutely not do it! Absolutely!!"
Zhang Lingchuan spoke very seriously in front of the camera, addressing viewers and the fan girl.
These are his principles.
Absolutely cannot cross the line!
"Such principled, Dr. Zhang!"
"It’s the first time seeing him so serious, but isn’t Dr. Zhang making a mountain out of a molehill here? Aren’t donations well-intended? And could also increase earnings."
"Good intentions? No doubt the girl is kind-hearted, but Dr. Zhang doesn’t have a practicing license, so would donation funds for consultations in the stream be considered medical income? If it is, wouldn’t that cause trouble?"
"Right, it’s both a principle and a bottom line, also risk avoidance. If the sums grow large later, it could really lead to issues. There’s no need for Dr. Zhang to take such a risk. He’s also not someone aiming for money, otherwise, he would’ve accepted the 2800 yuan from the boss lady last time, why return it instead?"
