Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Unbelievable—A Veterinarian Saving Lives Leaves the Media Stunned!
"Uh..."
Zhang Lingchuan was a bit lost for words; Teacher Chen’s words were quite fierce.
Do girls who study journalism all have such bold personalities?
"Hahaha, Master Zhang, since we’re full, why don’t we take a walk by the river?"
Song Wanqing adjusted her glasses and smiled as she asked.
The Good to Come Again Restaurant is close to Qing County Bridge, and many people take walks along the riverside in the evening.
"Yeah, yeah, I actually have something I want to discuss with you, Wanqing."
It’s nice to walk after a meal and also chat about rescuing small animals.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to perform tasks like cleaning wounds and changing bandages for people, but as a veterinarian, rescuing small animals offers better rewards.
"What a coincidence! Me too! Master Zhang, what do you want to discuss with me first?"
As they walked, Song Wanqing looked at Zhang Lingchuan curiously.
"Oh? You have something to discuss too? Then I’ll go first. I want to volunteer at the animal rescue center tomorrow, since it’s Sunday. Wanqing, could you please contact Station Chief Wu and ask him to send over any injured small animals for me to take care of?"
Zhang Lingchuan said.
Although Station Chief Wu’s animal rescue center has quite a few injured animals, it’s still limited.
"Of course I can, Station Chief Wu would definitely be overjoyed! Master Zhang, since tomorrow is the weekend, I’ll go with you and maybe shoot a video."
Song Wanqing’s eyes lit up; she didn’t expect Teacher Zhang to discuss this with her, so they were thinking along the same lines!
"Alright, then I’ll thank you in advance, Wanqing. By the way, what did you want to discuss with me?"
Zhang Lingchuan originally planned to go alone, but he didn’t expect Wanqing to want to join and shoot a video for him, so he decided to go.
He was also curious about what she wanted to discuss.
"Well, Master Zhang, our journalism students have practical assignments on shooting and new media operations during the summer vacation. Can I use the video footage I shoot with my phone to complete my assignments?"
Song Wanqing asked cautiously.
"Why so formal?"
Zhang Lingchuan thought it was something else, but it turned out to be about completing school assignments.
She was helping him shoot and edit videos for free, bringing him so much online traffic. How could he refuse?
"Master Zhang agreed? Can I also use the footage from the first time we went to the stray animal rescue center? I might post it online later, and it might get a bit of your traffic."
Song Wanqing was delighted and immediately looked at Zhang Lingchuan, making a small gesture with her thumb and index finger.
"Alright, I’m authorizing it, Wanqing. You can use it as you like."
What’s this about using his traffic? That sounds unpleasant, since his traffic wouldn’t have been possible without her help. So mutual aid is completely normal; he’s not someone to fuss over this.
"Master Zhang is truly generous. Rest assured, I won’t use the footage for free. This time, we’ll join forces to get bronze and aim for gold!!"
Song Wanqing tightened her small fist.
Her almond-like eyes burned with determination.
She needed to earn a ranking for Master Zhang!
At least third place!!
"Hey, hey, hey, Wanqing, keep calm. In the National Veterinarian Daily Competition, let’s just do our best. It’s not worth exhausting ourselves. After all, the current level is already something I never dared to imagine."
Even though the slogans earlier were ambitious.
He had his expectations.
Like making it to the daily top 24 in the National Veterinarian Competition, having a single live stream watched by 12,000 people, and earning 500 to 600 yuan in a single day. He had never imagined this.
He thought making it to the daily top 100 would be like a miracle.
Thanks to the team from the Integrated Media Center.
Especially junior Song Wanqing.
Now, the six videos she edited have already attracted thousands of fans.
The most popular video has reached nearly a million views, which not only increased fans but also earned almost a hundred yuan!
"Master Zhang, this is about the dignity of our Academy and Journalism School, we must go forward! By the way, this beautiful night view is perfect for shooting a video!"
Song Wanqing said resolutely!
"Hahaha, Wanqing, have you ever been in a pyramid scheme? You speak so passionately. If you want to shoot, go ahead. The night view of Qing County’s riverside makes for great footage."
Zhang Lingchuan looked at this earnest girl, worried that her next sentence would be, "If you understand, give a round of applause!"
...
Nine o’clock.
By the riverbank under Qing County Bridge.
"It’s been a delightful evening, all worries are blown away by the river breeze~"
Strolling along the riverbank, the breeze tousling her hair, Song Wanqing turned to look at Zhang Lingchuan, her beautiful eyes filled with a smile and a sense of appreciation.
"I haven’t walked here for many years; I remember the last time was in high school."
In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed, time flies so quickly.
"So back in high school, did Master Zhang walk here with a girl classmate?"
Song Wanqing playfully brushed her hair behind her ear, revealing two small dimples as she smiled and asked.
"No classmates, just my dorm mates after high school graduation. Unfortunately, most of them are hard to find now, busy with their careers or with family matters."
Zhang Lingchuan gave a helpless smile.
The dreams and ambitions of seven years ago seem to be just yesterday.
But now, each one has been worn down by reality, busy and vanished.
"That’s why people say growing up is a solitary journey, it allows us to transform through the river of time, becoming better versions of ourselves and meeting better people. Have you met better people, Master Zhang?"
As they continued walking, the evening breeze scattered her hair, their eyes briefly met, and her gaze seemed to await his response.
"I’ve met a better cow to sew."
Zhang Lingchuan pondered for three seconds, then replied with a smile.
Dealing with animals every day, there are only better animals to stitch up, not better people.
"Pfft—, Master Zhang, how come I didn’t realize you were this humorous before~"
Song Wanqing laughed, showing her little tiger teeth and dimples.
She thought he might jokingly ask, ’Really, have you met any?’ and then smoothly dive into a deeper conversation, but... it turns out agricultural students’ minds are hard to fathom.
"I didn’t realize Wanqing, being socially anxious, actually means you’re a social terrorist."
Zhang Lingchuan spread his hands.
With these words,
Song Wanqing laughed even more joyfully.
Not long after.
On the streets of Qingshan County.
The little white electric scooter wobbled a bit and then stopped at the entrance of the Integrated Media Center.
"Master Zhang, see you tomorrow."
Song Wanqing waved to Zhang Lingchuan.
"Alright!"
The little white scooter drove straight away in the night, as the riverbank lights gradually went out.
Not long after.
The first light of dawn appeared.
The night and day gently intertwined.
Integrated Media Center.
The little white scooter approached again.

At eight-oh-five.
[Dr. Zhang’s Daily Life]
The seventh video began updating.
"Updating so early!"
"Oh my gosh! This title left me stunned!"
"Here it comes, here it comes; this headline already made me laugh this early in the morning!!"
"Front row, I have a feeling this video will definitely blow up, trust me, like it for me!"
...
The followers quickly began liking, sharing, and commenting.
Meanwhile, Master Zhang and Ms. Song bought a few buns and set off to the animal rescue center to start their busy day.
Ten o’clock.
At Qingzhou Railway Station.
The slightly tired He Xiaohong had just gotten off the train.
Traveling from Qing County to downtown Qingzhou, the journey takes an hour and twenty minutes and costs 18 yuan for a ticket.
As a poor student going back home, it’s almost always by train.
"Beep beep beep—"
He hadn’t even walked a few steps when his phone rang again.
[Emergency Call from Boss Ji]
When he took out his phone to check.
It was actually the director of the Emergency Department, Boss Ji.
"Xiaohong, just got a call from Old Li from General Surgery, saying you remained calm at your hometown, stopped the bleeding barehanded, and saved a patient who was cut by a chainsaw on their femoral artery. This is also a glorious deed for our Emergency Department, saving a patient from danger. So I contacted colleagues from our Public Relations Department, and they’re planning to interview you tomorrow Monday. We want to set an example for other interns in our Emergency Department, give a little lecture. How does that sound?"
On the other end of the line, Director Ji asked kindly.
After all, this was a great event for the Emergency Department.
According to the current info from Old Li, the patient survived, and their vital signs are gradually stabilizing.
Publishing a commendation tomorrow is just perfect.
"Director... As much as I would love to accept the praise, it wasn’t me who stopped the bleeding; it was Dr. Zhang. You’ve got it all wrong."
He Xiaohong explained with a wry smile.
Why did even the Emergency Director have to call?
"Huh? A veterinarian!!"
An extremely shocked response clearly came from the other side of the line!
Ten-thirty.
In a private room at a Qingzhou City café.
An interview was taking place.
"Huh? He Tongxue, you’re saying that at the time, on the hillside, it wasn’t you who stopped the bleeding barehanded, but that veteranian, Dr. Zhang??"
However, just as the interview was getting into the main topic,
that statement from the interviewee left all the staff utterly bewildered.
The Emergency Department doctors couldn’t stop the bleeding, but a veterinarian did!
How is that even possible!!!
