Chapter 1539
Zhu Yanyi nodded and said, "I treat patients from anywhere, but I prioritize people from China. So, Senior Brother, please tell the world that I will only treat three foreign patients each month. You can decide who gets these spots based on the order of applications from the embassy."
Gu Jingtian asked, "Three per month? Isn't that too few? It feels wrong to leave patients untreated."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Gu Jingtian and said slowly, "It is not few. Three a month means thirty-six a year. In truth, the world has not helped China enough to deserve thirty-six lives."
Gu Jingtian understood. She was not refusing to treat them; she wanted the world to change how they viewed China. She set the rules so the world would follow them. This was the only way to reach her goal.
"Okay, I will announce this rule," Gu Jingtian nodded seriously. "Have you chosen the first three?"
"Here, these three," Zhu Yanyi handed her the files. "I chose them by time. Whoever applied first gets the chance."
Gu Jingtian nodded and left to notify the embassy. Zhu Yanyi put the rest of the files aside. Those were for later.
She knew this would cause trouble. And it did. After learning her rules, patients from many countries protested. They complained about her treating people differently.
Old Man Yun called her.
After hearing her purpose, Zhu Yanyi said, "I want to treat people differently. So what? The medical skills are in my hands. If they have the ability, they should not beg me for treatment. If they beg, they must follow my rules."
Old Man Yun sighed helplessly. "You girl, when did you become so fiery? Last time you challenged a country. Now are you challenging the whole world?"
Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "Grandpa Yun, challenging the world is fine. The skills are in my head. They are begging me. They can choose not to beg. As beggars, they want to act superior. Do you think such a beautiful thing exists in this world?"
Old Man Yun was stunned. Yes, nothing is perfect. He sighed. "So, what do you plan to do?"
"I will make a TV statement," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Grandpa Yun, my only request is that people from China do not get involved."
By "involved," she meant certain people. She did not say it clearly, but Old Man Yun understood.
"Rest assured, I will suppress those people," Old Man Yun said with a smile.
Zhu Yanyi had dared to challenge the world for Gu Jingtian even before her engagement to Yan Aohan. Now, with Yan Aohan behind her, she had even less to fear.
"Fine. Arrange it for me. I will issue a TV statement tomorrow. I don't want anyone to think they can suppress me."
Zhu Yanyi sneered. She was a doctor, not a politician. Her medical skills were unmatched. With such status, she could challenge the whole world. She never worried about lacking patients.
In fact, life comes only once. Those who wanted to suppress her also wanted her medical help. But their methods were wrong. With wrong methods, she would never help them.
"Ani, the newspaper says you are going on TV today to issue a statement?" Huang Meiying asked, holding a newspaper when Zhu Yanyi arrived early to check on Zhu Xinfu.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "It is not a big deal. Some boring people want to force me to treat them. Do they think I am a wallflower who bows to the strong? In medicine, only I am strong. They must listen to me. I am tired of their fuss, so I will make a TV statement to prevent future trouble."
Huang Meiying understood. "Be careful. Many of those people are petty."
"I know, Grandma," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Grandpa’s organs are recovering well. At this speed, he can have surgery to restore his legs next week."
"That is good," Huang Meiying said, hearing the news she liked best.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Alright, I must go. Grandpa, I am leaving. Grandma, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye," Huang Meiying smiled as Zhu Yanyi left.
Zhu Yanyi returned to her practice chamber, rested briefly, tidied up, and then left slowly for the agreed place to record the TV statement.
The studio was specially arranged with cameras and reporters.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly to everyone and walked up.
Before she arrived, many people whispered below. They were very familiar with this little divine doctor. After all, she had once challenged an entire country for her brother.
Zhu Yanyi walked to the center, scanned the crowd, and smiled. "I see many familiar faces. It seems we have met before." Zhu Yanyi was calm and direct. "Since we have met, I will not hide anything. I, Zhu Yanyi, do not like to hide. Many are curious why I am making this TV statement. It is because I recently received a stack of files and some protests."
Zhu Yanyi picked up a file and shook it slightly. "What is this file?" She did not pretend to be mysterious. "People here should know. These are files from the Chinese Embassy regarding patients from some countries and their applications for me to treat them."
Zhu Yanyi slapped the file onto the table. "But how many files? In three days, I received fifty-seven. I read them. I found that many patients are not in critical condition. Their own countries or other doctors can treat them. Why must they find me? Just because I am the Little Divine Doctor? Although I am the Little Divine Doctor, I will not do useless work. When you need help, there are more people here who need my help. Therefore, I issue this TV statement."
Zhu Yanyi scanned everyone. "I, Zhu Yanyi, will accept any patient from China with terminal illnesses, as long as they are not evil. I will do my best to treat them. But for non-Chinese patients, I will only treat three cases per month."
