Chapter 716 A Miracle
Dr. Wang approached with a silk banner, saying solemnly, "Mr. Chen, these medical staff voluntarily came forward to see you off."
Chen Xuan hadn't expected to be so popular here.
"Do you perhaps want to say a few words?" Dr. Wang smiled slightly and glanced below.
"Haha, thank you all."
Chen Xuan, inexperienced and a little nervous, waved to the crowd gathered in the open space. "Being able to cure patients so quickly and well is also thanks to your help. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to cure so many patients at once. So, this is also your accomplishment."
"Wow, I didn't expect Dr. Chen Xuan to be so capable and yet so humble!"
"I'm a fan of Dr. Chen Xuan from now on!"
"Pfft, I think you're not just seeing Dr. Chen Xuan as an idol, you want to see him as a husband."
"What are you saying? I didn't mean that."
"Let me tell you, Dr. Chen Xuan is my dream lover from now on. I want to have his babies!"
The male doctors were merely admiring Chen Xuan. However, the young and beautiful nurses and doctors chattered away, treating Chen Xuan as a potential husband.
In the crowd, the female emergency doctor's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at Chen Xuan, her pretty face flushing and her hands clenched.
She had decided that Chen Xuan was her idol!
Dr. Wang and the others looked on with envy. Why didn't they have so many admirers?
Chen Xuan, standing on the upper floor, heard the voices from below and felt a flush of embarrassment.
"Dr. Chen Xuan, if you take a liking to any of the nurses or doctors, I can help you make an introduction." Dr. Wang winked suggestively, eager to find a way to curry favor with Chen Xuan.
"No need..."
Chen Xuan shook his head as if he were playing a rattle drum.
He hadn't figured out how to handle the situation with Murong Meng, let alone dared to get involved with other women.
It was precisely for this reason that Chen Xuan had been staying at the hospital these past few days and hadn't returned.
Dr. Wang sighed and handed the silk banner to Chen Xuan with both hands. "This is from the patients for you!"
"What is this? It's all messy..."
Chen Xuan frowned, examining the silk banner. He recognized it, but the writing on it was jumbled, with many people having altered the characters.
His home didn't lack rags, after all.
Upon seeing the silk banner, Old Zhang felt both excitement and a sigh.
He was excited that Chen Xuan could receive such a banner.
He sighed in shame that he had never received such a banner in his life, while Chen Xuan, in his early twenties, already possessed such honor.
Dr. Wang smiled. "Brother Chen Xuan, this is a silk banner personally signed by three thousand patients!"
This was akin to the "Ten Thousand People Umbrella" of ancient times. When an official had served their term and done well, many citizens would contribute pieces of cloth to make an umbrella, with signatures from people across the city, signifying great praise.
The significance of this "Three Thousand People Silk Banner" was similar to the "Ten Thousand People Umbrella," but it was an expression of praise and admiration from patients towards a doctor.
If a provincial-level Grade A tertiary hospital could receive such a banner, they would surely heavily advertise it on various platforms.
Seeing that Chen Xuan did not understand the significance of the "Three Thousand People Silk Banner," Old Zhang quickly explained its meaning.
"So that's how it is. Thank you all." Chen Xuan smiled and accepted it.
Renxin Hospital already had a banner from the Chamber of Commerce president. If it displayed another "Three Thousand People Silk Banner," it would surely have even more prestige.
After speaking, Chen Xuan checked the time. "It's about time. We should be going. See you again in the future!"
"Mr. Chen, have a safe journey!"
"Mr. Chen, we love you!"
Amidst everyone's cheers, Chen Xuan slowly walked downstairs and arrived at the entrance of the isolation hospital.
Soon, Chen Xuan and Old Zhang got into the car and slowly drove away from the isolation hospital.
Chen Xuan looked at the "Three Thousand People Silk Banner" in his hand and sighed with emotion.
Seeing Chen Xuan depart, Dr. Wang took out his phone and sent a message.
"Dr. Si Xiang, Mr. Chen Xuan has left the isolation hospital and is now heading to Renxin Medical Hall!"
...
"Governor Wang, all three thousand patients have been discharged! Not a single death! This has created a miracle in the history of infectious diseases."
A piece of good news reached the Governor's office in the provincial government.
These three days had been agonizing for Governor Wang. Although he knew Chen Xuan could cure the illness, he still felt on edge.
Now, with the good news arriving, Governor Wang's anxious heart was finally at ease.
"Governor Wang, now that Dr. Chen has cured the patients, should the government express its appreciation?"
Secretary Zhao Xiaoqiang glanced at Governor Wang.
"Look how I forgot about this. Of course, we must express our appreciation. Starting today, Dr. Chen will be awarded the lifetime honorary titles of 'Divine Doctor of a Generation' and 'Pillar of the Nation'! Renxin Medical Hall will be designated as the number one medical hall in Jiangnan Province!"
Governor Wang declared with resolute conviction.
"Your Excellency Governor, this is not advisable. Designating Renxin Hospital as the number one medical hall in Jiangnan Province is acceptable, but the title of 'Divine Doctor of a Generation, Pillar of the Nation' has not been awarded for ten years. It is the highest honor in Jiangnan Province's medical history!"
Secretary Zhao Xiaoqiang's eyes widened, and he quickly advised against it.
"Chen Xuan has created a miracle in the history of infectious diseases and saved three thousand lives. Is a title not worthy?"
Governor Wang's gaze turned cold, like a sharp sword, fixed on Secretary Zhao Xiaoqiang.
"Worthy..."
Secretary Zhao Xiaoqiang could only nod.
Chen Xuan was indeed formidable, truly deserving of such a title.
"Hurry up and go!"
"Regarding the awarding of the title... perhaps it should be handled by the Medical Association, as this is a medical honor..."
Secretary Zhao Xiaoqiang was quite discerning, knowing that it would be more appropriate for the Medical Association to handle such matters.
"The Medical Association..."
Upon hearing "Medical Association," Governor Wang's face darkened.
Such a capable doctor had his title of "Jiangnan King of Medicine" revoked by the Medical Association!
He deeply resented the Medical Association!
"No need. You go handle it!"
Chen Xuan surely had issues with the Medical Association, and Governor Wang didn't want to let the Medical Association spoil the mood.
"I'll go do it now!"
Secretary Zhao Xiaoqiang nodded and turned to leave Governor Wang's office.
The office fell silent. Governor Wang frowned and muttered, "I wonder how Qin Weizhong, that old fox, is progressing with the matter of vindicating Mr. Chen..."
However, he had no idea that Qin Weizhong wasn't vindicating Chen Xuan at all; he was still actively smearing Chen Xuan.
Soon, Chen Xuan, in Old Zhang's car, arrived at Renxin Medical Hall.
Upon arriving at Renxin Medical Hall, Chen Xuan was stunned.
There was a very long queue outside Renxin Hospital. Everyone was wearing a large mask. Chen Xuan looked at these people; they didn't seem sick. What were they queuing for?
"Mr. Chen! You're finally back!"
Lu Jian saw Chen Xuan and ran over in a flash.
He had truly missed Chen Xuan after not seeing him for three days.
"What are all these people here for?"
Chen Xuan gestured to the long queue.
"They're all here to buy medicine."
"Why would they buy medicine if they're not sick?"
"Mr. Chen, have you been abroad these past few days? Don't you know there's an infectious disease popular in the provincial capital? Everyone is buying medicine and stocking up, just in case they need it." Lu Jian said.
Chen Xuan was at a loss for words.
What was the use of randomly buying medicine here? The medicine wouldn't be effective if it wasn't the right prescription, and given the severity of the infectious disease, ordinary medicine would be useless.
He took a breath and whispered a few words to Lu Jian.
Lu Jian looked at Chen Xuan suspiciously. "Mr. Chen, they probably won't listen..."
"Just do as I instructed."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
