Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1661 1661: Embracing the World

But for all this, we must thank the country. It is the country that provided such a good place, allowing Mr. Ling to have a fixed location to treat everyone.

Now, let's invite our Vice Mayor Zhou of Binyang to speak to everyone."

Applause broke out from the audience, and then Zhou Xia came up.

"We are truly very fortunate that our Binyang has produced a Divine Doctor, even more fortunate that this Divine Doctor has a heart for the world.

I've known Divine Doctor Ling for a long time, and when he first proposed building a free hospital, I actually didn't understand it, because in my impression, the one thing that can't be free is medical treatment.

This has been passed down in China for thousands of years—you want to treat illness, you need to spend money. Especially in today's society, how could there be such a thing as a free hospital?

But after Divine Doctor Ling talked to me, I suddenly believed him. He started giving free medical treatment to others long ago, grew from others' doubts, and now has become a Divine Doctor in everyone's mouth.

All this time, he hasn't charged a penny; it's been all free treatment. I know running a free hospital is bound to lose money, but he must have figured out how to still make money."

Laughter erupted from the audience; nobody expected Zhou Xia to be so fond of joking.

Zhou Xia said: "Since Ling Zhenfei dares to lose money, we in the government cannot let him lose too badly, so we've provided a place like this for the hospital.

We promise that as long as the free hospital is still open for one day, this place will be fully free for Ling Zhenfei to use, and the government will allocate five million annually to support the free hospital."

The audience burst into another round of applause, this time with heartfelt appreciation.

At this moment, Zhou Xia continued: "In addition, our city government will also issue three certificates to Ling Zhenfei: one for being one of Binyang City's Top Ten Outstanding Youths, another for outstanding entrepreneur in Binyang, and a third for national outstanding talent."

Suddenly, three awards were given to Ling Zhenfei. The certificates for these three awards were brought up together, and Zhou Xia invited Ling Zhenfei on stage to receive them.

Ling Zhenfei was also surprised to be receiving three such awards; after all, he'd only heard about these awards in the news.

Ling Zhenfei went on stage to receive the awards, with Zhou Xia personally presenting them. Seeing Zhou Xia, even she laughed a little. After the awards presentation was over, Jiang Hui came up again.

"I'm very sorry, I'm up here again. I'm a very unprofessional host, but my mood is the same as everyone's—very happy. At the same time, I have a few more good news to share."

After Jiang Hui spoke, she glanced toward the audience: "Actually, I think this good news should wait for them to announce it themselves."

In fact, what would happen next, even Ling Zhenfei didn't know. They just arrived a little late, but already missed a lot.

At this point, Jiang Hui stepped down, and unexpectedly, Chen Dafu and two other men came up on stage.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Dafu, the director of Binyang Hospital. The two gentlemen beside me today, one is Mr. Lu Yiming, the chairman of the National Hospital Union, and the other is the chairman of the China Charity Federation.

Today we are here to make a statement that we will definitely support the operation of the free hospital, and every year we will provide corresponding material support based on the situation."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was very surprised, but his heart was full of comfort.

Actually, when Ling Zhenfei set out to establish this free hospital, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

Although they are a small hospital, Ling Zhenfei had never thought about how much money they would need to spend in a year, nor did he know. But now with so many people helping him, of course, Ling Zhenfei is happy.

Besides these people, there are several institutions that also intend to subsidize Ling Zhenfei's free hospital.

Some institutions even immediately offered to provide financial aid, which moved Ling Zhenfei's heart. If this really could happen, that would be amazing.

After all the announcements were made, it was Ling Zhenfei's turn.

Ling Zhenfei stepped onto the stage, standing beside Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui asked, "Mr. Ling, you finally came up. Before the press start their questions, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "There are indeed a few things I wish to discuss with everyone."

Jiang Hui said, "Well then, this stage was originally yours, now it's all yours."

Jiang Hui left, leaving Ling Zhenfei standing on the stage, looking at the spotlights, and numerous pairs of eyes below, each filled with anticipation.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I plan to run a completely free hospital; many people don't believe it. Look at the online comments; they say everything. Some say I'm scamming state funds,

some say I'm seeking publicity, and some say I won't last a few days. Regardless of what they say, the fact that you guys can see my messages already makes me very happy.

Free medical treatment is surely a losing venture; everybody knows it, so nobody believes someone would lose money doing such a thing. Losing money and still doing it—that would be foolish, right?"

Ling Zhenfei glanced around the audience and said, "Yes, I am that fool. When I was a child, I loved riding my bicycle, but the mountain roads were always bumpy and uneven, and my rides were always jolting.

Back then, I vowed that when I grew up, I would fill in all those pits so that anyone who rides a bicycle wouldn't have to be jolted.

Doing good deeds is like paving the way for those who follow. You just do it, and there'll be benefits; perhaps you exhaust yourself, perhaps you lose money, but someone has to do it, or the road remains uneven."

Ling Zhenfei's words sparked a very warm round of applause from the audience, even Zhou Xia and others began to clap.

Ling Zhenfei said, "But I'm not foolish to the extreme, because I know this society isn't short of people with love, just like the few who came on stage before; they all want to help me in this endeavor.

With so many people supporting me, I don't believe I'll lose too much money, and I'll be able to keep going."

The audience erupted into another very enthusiastic round of applause; people as sincere in their speech as Ling Zhenfei are indeed rare.

When Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, the audience knew it was time for them to start asking questions.

"Hello, Mr. Ling, the scale of your hospital isn't large, what are your treatment standards?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "As you all can see, our hospital is just a small one. Our treatment standard is also very simple; there are two treatment options: one is for those illnesses that other hospitals can't treat.

If you've been to many hospitals and still can't be cured, you can try our hospital; perhaps we can help you recover.

Another situation is true poverty; we can also treat you, but both cases require examination by our review panel."

Someone from below asked, "Mr. Ling, what is the standard for this review?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "The friend asking this question probably isn't too familiar with me, Ling Zhenfei. You can check out my Weibo and my fan club maintenance section where there's a voting channel.
