Chapter 32

When Wu Potian heard the young woman's gratitude and thought about the chewing gum incident, his face immediately became very serious. With a serious expression, he said to the woman, "This is the first time I've seen such a careless mother. You didn't even check if the chewing gum was safe before giving it to your child. This time, you were lucky to be near our clinic, so your child was successfully saved. This incident should be a lesson for you. In the future, when taking care of your child, remember never to let them touch things that they shouldn't."

"Doctor! Rest assured, this will never happen again. Thank you for saving my child." Without Wu Potian needing to say more, today's incident was an unforgettable lesson for the woman. She would never again give chewing gum to her son, and she might even avoid chewing gum for the rest of her life. Despite being scolded by Wu Potian, she still expressed her gratitude with a grateful face.

A few minutes later, Wu Qingsheng came out of the examination room, glanced at Wu Potian with a serious expression, and then instructed him very seriously, "Xiao Tian! Come with me for a moment."

Wu Potian, seeing his father's serious expression, knew why his father was calling him. However, thinking about the child's condition at the time, he did not regret his actions. As he walked into the backyard with Wu Qingsheng, he preemptively said, "Dad! I know you will blame me for being too rash, and I also know that my actions were indeed inappropriate. But if I were to encounter this situation again, I would still make the same decision. I simply cannot stand by and do nothing when someone's life is at stake. If I had ignored it, I wouldn't be able to live with myself, and I would probably be haunted by this incident for the rest of my life."

Wu Qingsheng, hearing Wu Potian's words, the anger he had felt due to his son's rashness instantly disappeared. However, considering the realities of society, he said to Wu Potian with a sigh, "Xiao Tian! It's not that I don't want you to save people, but this society is too pragmatic. You want to save people, but if something goes wrong, the other party won't see it that way. They might even ruin us financially."

At that moment, Wu Potian had only thought about saving the child and hadn't considered the consequences. It wasn't until he heard his father's words that he realized his actions were indeed very rash. He apologized to Wu Qingsheng, "Dad! I'm sorry! I won't act so rashly in the future."

Wu Qingsheng, hearing Wu Potian's promise, smiled with relief. He patted Wu Potian's shoulder and said kindly, "Xiao Tian! Although your actions today were very rash, you did a good deed. After all, it's a living life. I'm proud of you."

Wu Qingsheng and Wu Potian walked back to the clinic's hall together, chatting and laughing. As Wu Qingsheng entered the hall, a middle-aged man immediately approached him, gripping his hand tightly and expressing his gratitude, "Doctor! Thank you, thank you for saving my son."

Wu Qingsheng, hearing the man's gratitude, humbly replied, "Sir! It wasn't me who saved your child, but my son."

The man's name was Zheng Huatang, a well-known real estate businessman in Hancheng. His wife had given him a daughter but could no longer bear children. Due to the preference for sons over daughters, he had a mistress who eventually gave him a smart and well-behaved son.

Because of his preference for sons and the joy of having a late son, Zheng Huatang treated his son like a precious gem. When he learned that his son had fainted, he immediately called his friend, a doctor at the city hospital, for advice. His friend informed him that if the rescue was not timely, the consequences could range from death to paralysis, speech loss, intellectual disability, and motor impairment.

At that moment, Zheng Huatang was in a panic, even neglecting a major business deal. He rushed to the Wu Clinic in his car. It wasn't until he learned from his doctor friend that his son was out of danger that he felt relieved and was filled with gratitude for the doctor who saved his son.

To his surprise, the doctor who saved his son was so young. He was taken aback and it took him several seconds to react. He stepped forward, grabbed Wu Potian's hand, and said emotionally, "Doctor! I'm sorry! I didn't expect you to be so young. I am the child's father, Zheng Huatang. Thank you for saving my child. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

As he spoke, he pulled a check from his pocket and handed it to Wu Potian.

Wu Potian, seeing the check Zheng Huatang handed him, did not reach out to take it, but the five zeros on the check were clearly visible. If he were in Yanjing, he would have immediately accepted such a large sum of money. However, he shook his head and said to Zheng Huatang, "Mr. Zheng! The fee you are offering is too much. Your son's medical expenses only amount to 200 yuan. You can pay at the counter later."

As a businessman, profit is often the top priority. In Zheng Huatang's mind, no one in the world doesn't love money. His son was everything to him, and when he learned that his son was out of danger, he unhesitatingly wrote a check for 600,000 yuan to thank Wu Potian for saving his son. He never expected Wu Potian to refuse the check, which left him extremely surprised.

Businessmen are always profit-driven, so when Wu Potian refused, Zheng Huatang was surprised but quickly assumed that Wu Potian thought the reward was too small. He was about to add another 400,000 yuan to make it a million when Wu Potian's next words shocked him.

In today's society, money has created a tidal wave, and materialism has taken the top spot in people's hearts. Although it's not entirely true, it accurately reflects the dominant trend in today's materialistic society, where many people are willing to sell their dignity and even their bodies for money.

So when Wu Potian said he only needed 200 yuan for the treatment, Zheng Huatang couldn't help but look at Wu Potian with newfound respect. He never expected that in today's society, there were still young people like Wu Potian who were not swayed by money. At that moment, he immediately thought that this young man was not an ordinary person and would one day become a famous figure in China.

Perhaps because of this thought, Zheng Huatang put away his check and took out a platinum business card with diamond fragments embedded in it from his pocket. He said apologetically to Wu Potian, "Doctor! I haven't had the pleasure of knowing your surname. I was too vulgar just now, I hope you don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he handed the business card to Wu Potian and promised solemnly, "Doctor! This is my business card. If you ever need any help in Hancheng, as long as it's within my capabilities, I, Zheng Huatang, will not hesitate to assist you."

Seeing Zheng Huatang's serious expression, Wu Potian's brain received a message from his auxiliary system: "Congratulations, owner, you have gained 3 points of gratitude from the patient's family. You need 997 more points to meet the upgrade condition!"

Receiving this message from Qinglong, Wu Potian was very puzzled. He had saved Zhang Qiming's father and the young man on the plane without gaining any gratitude points, but now he had gained 3 points. He asked Qinglong with his mind, "Qinglong! What's going on? Why didn't I get gratitude points before, but now I have?"
