The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1382: Go For An Internship

When Qi Dongsheng heard that, he felt somewhat embarrassed. However, he had to admit that Red Boy was right.

When Fangzheng heard that, he felt like giving Red Boy a slap. What doesn’t he have? Are you rich?

However, Fangzheng did not say it out loud. Instead, he said in a clear voice, “These plaques are all worldly possessions. They cannot be used in death—useless. If you really wish to provide a reward, why don’t you establish 108 Hope Primary Schools, 108 nursing homes, and 108 cost-price hospitals?”

When Qi Dongsheng heard that, he was instantly put in a difficult position. “Master, the first one is easy. The country has been working in this area all this while. You’re just helping them push it forward. However, it’s difficult for 108 hospitals. The hospitals are easy to build, and even the medical equipment can be made complete. However, there aren’t enough doctors. Moreover, good doctors aren’t willing to go to such a remote place…”

Fangzheng said lightly, “It’s fine. In a while, This Penniless Monk will announce to the public that all doctors who have learned This Penniless Monk’s medical skills have to go to the impoverished western region for three years. If they don’t go, they are not qualified to inherit This Penniless Monk’s medical skills.”

When Qi Dongsheng heard that, he was instantly dumbfounded. “Master, this is equivalent to forcing them to go. If they don’t go, what can happen after they have learned it? Furthermore, forcing others to work over there, this… is a little…”

Red Boy curled his lips and said, “My master’s medical skills are superb. No school fees were collected. All they need to do is a three-year internship. What’s wrong with that?”

Qi Dongsheng said awkwardly, “If Master were to say it, I believe the country will definitely support him. However, the problem is that it doesn’t seem right for the country to enforce it… Besides, it’s difficult for them to obey Master even with his punishment.”

Fangzheng said, “This Penniless Monk’s medical skills can be passed to them and also taken back. Patron, there’s no need to worry. Just announce it to the outside world. This will be considered the final examination for them… Medicine practitioners are practitioners of benevolence. If they aren’t willing to take out three years of their time, they are not worthy of This Penniless Monk’s medical skills.”

When Qi Dongsheng saw that Fangzheng had made up his mind, he didn’t say anything. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll do it now. In addition, our Black Mountain City will also donate a batch of Hope Primary School and nursing homes. However, we need to resolve the needy village problem first. Therefore, we don’t plan on building in the western regions. In addition, I’m pushing for the separation of medical treatment and medicine prices. All medicine prices will have their prices indicated clearly. The medical treatment prices will be transparent… It can be considered as answering the call to Master’s kindness.”

Fangzheng said, “Patron, you are kind.”

Qi Dongsheng smiled bitterly. “I’m just doing something to my best ability…”

With that said, Qi Dongsheng left.

As expected, on the second day, the country released the latest news and directly broadcast it on CCTV news. It would donate 108 Hope Primary Schools, nursing homes, and cost-price hospitals to the western region.

At the same time, Fangzheng updated his Weibo. “This Penniless Monk has always believed that the world’s benevolence depends on medical practitioners. Now that the western region is severely lacking in medical workers, This Penniless Monk wishes the doctors who have learned This Penniless Monk’s medical skills to head to the western region for three years. This Penniless Monk’s medical skills can only be passed on to the kind-hearted.”

This passage was also on the news.

In fact, this was all over the online news articles the next day!

It was the first time in history that an ordinary person’s words were broadcast on CCTV news.

How could people not notice such explosive news?

“Oh my god, what does Master mean by that? The country has just donated 108 cost-price hospitals and he wants doctors who learned his medical skills to do a three-year internship in the western regions?”

“I think that’s what he means. He should be responding to the national appeal.”

“But there’s a problem. Everyone has a job and a home. How can we leave everything and head west? Is that possible?”

“I also think it’s impossible. It’s too unrealistic.”

“Don’t say that. Will you go if you are given a million a month?”

“Give me a million and I’ll go.”

“Sigh… That’s why I said that it’s not because people can’t go. Isn’t it because of the lack of money? If there’s no benefit, then one doesn’t go. What kind of good is there to talk about?”

“But I have to say, in this society, few people are willing to do things that are not profitable.”

“I learned some medical skills from Fangzheng. I think Fangzheng is my benefactor, but I have to stay in the western region for three years just because of his words? I can’t do it. I’ve just started my career. My beautiful life has just begun. I just got a girlfriend, so I can’t leave,” said a man named “Scalpel.”

“I can’t go either. I just bought a house. It needs renovation,” said a man named “I have Medicine.”

Seeing these two people appear, everyone fell silent.

“Sigh, looks like Master’s request was for nothing. I reckon no one will go,” someone said with a sigh.

At this moment…

“Damn it!” A doctor named Doctor Tang said.

“It takes four years in university. Furthermore, Master selflessly dedicated his medical skills. So what if we go? I’ll just take it as going back to university for further studies,” said Liking White Coats.

When Scalpel saw it, he immediately said: “You just graduated from university, right? You have nothing. Of course it’s easy. I can’t. I have a family and a child. How can I leave just like that?”

Doctor Tang said, “I’m sorry, but you are wrong. I just bought a house in Shenzhen and am planning to get married next month. However, since it’s Master’s request, my wedding will either be delayed by three years or I’ll get married in the western region. There’s nothing that I can’t let go of. It all depends on whether you have a firm heart. It’s said that there’s no result in a long-distance relationship. I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with my partner for eight years, and we still love each other deeply. It crosses half of China. Reality has proven that the long distance isn’t the reason for separation. It’s just that your heart is not firm enough. You don’t have enough heart, so you think that it’s impossible. You are worthy of learning Master’s medical skills. Master is truly a benevolent person!”

After reading that, Scalpel fell silent for a while before retorting: “You’re a great bootlicker and the story is well made up. Who would believe you!”

Doctor Tang said, “Shenzhen Third Hospital, Doctor Tang. You can go ahead and ask or search for me yourself. If I’m lying, I’ll never lift a scalpel from now on!”

When Scalpel heard that, he said, “I’m also in SZ. I’ve never heard of you. You are fabricating things, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted, “You’ve never heard of him before, but I have! I know Doctor Tang. He’s the chief surgeon of Shenzhen Third Hospital. He is an honest and upright person. He’s especially good. Someone in our village has to undergo surgery, but because he didn’t bring any money, Doctor Tang paid the bill before doing the surgery!”

Scalpel immediately said: “You must be in a cahoots, right?”

“You can say anything about others, but not Doctor Tang! I also know him. He had done surgery on me before. He spent twelve hours operating on me in the operating theater. He couldn’t even get up by the time it was over! He saved my life!”

“I also know about Doctor Tang. Doctor Tang is a good person. He saved my child!”

“Doctor Tang is a good person. I can testify that when my mother went for the surgery, our family didn’t have any money. Doctor Tang helped us to negotiate with the hospital and took a significantly lower amount. He even helped us get some value-for-money medicine. Our whole family is grateful to him!”

“I also know that Doctor Tang. He is a really good doctor in our circle!”
