This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

"What a pity, what a pity... Life is unpredictable, and reality is often not as we wish."

At this point, Yu Chenzhou suddenly raised his head, his tone shifting abruptly, his face filled with deep distress and helplessness, and his voice becoming somewhat heavy:

"In order to ensure that the treatment would be foolproof, I spent several days discussing and deliberating with several senior colleagues in the ENT department, and finally developed a comprehensive and scientifically sound treatment plan."

I can tell you definitively here that as long as you strictly follow this treatment plan, I am absolutely confident that I can completely restore Xiaoxiao's vocal cords to normal, giving her a perfect voice.

Yu Chenzhou's tone was extremely firm, but then it turned into one of utter helplessness.

"However, just when everything was ready and the treatment was about to begin, Xiaoxiao's agency suddenly made an additional request that I could not accept."

They were worried that if the surgery failed, it would damage the company's reputation and future development, so they forced me to sign an agreement stating that I would bear corresponding responsibilities in the event of a failed surgery.

When he said the words "corresponding responsibility," Yu Chenzhou emphasized them, and the annoyance on his face became more and more obvious.

"To be honest, if this were just a private matter between me and Xiaoxiao, I would be very willing to sign this agreement and do everything I can to help her, no matter how risky it is."

Yu Chenzhou's tone was filled with deep regret.

"But I am not just myself. I am a licensed doctor with a professional license. My identity represents the reputation of the entire hospital and, more importantly, the legitimate rights and interests of the vast number of medical staff."

The medical industry is inherently full of uncertainties, and no doctor can guarantee that every surgery will be 100% successful.

This agreement completely violates the basic principles of medical treatment and does not comply with relevant laws and regulations.

Once signed, it will not only harm my personal rights, but also have a negative impact on the entire medical industry.

Therefore, even if I were very willing, I absolutely cannot sign it.

And that's why I ultimately lost the opportunity to help my idol get treatment.

After saying this, Yu Chenzhou slapped his thigh hard, his face full of frustration and resentment, and the regret in his eyes was almost overflowing, which would make anyone feel sorry for him.

After hearing Yu Chenzhou's "sincere" explanation, the office fell silent instantly.

The onlookers who had been gathering to watch the spectacle fell silent, peering around to wait for further developments.

The three fans in the office, who had been so impatient, frowned and fell into a brief silence.

But as a true "die-hard fan," I'm obviously not so easily persuaded.

After only four or five seconds of silence, the most impatient of the three men exploded first. He put his hands on his hips, glared at Yu Chenzhou with disdain, and said in a tone full of contempt:

"No! You're just making excuses!"

It's clear that you're afraid to take responsibility, fearing that you'll be held accountable if there are problems with the treatment!

A coward like you, lacking any sense of responsibility, doesn't deserve to be a fan of our Xiaoxiao at all!

As soon as he finished speaking, the man next to him immediately came to his senses and retorted in the same serious tone:

Yes, that's right!

The company requires you to sign an agreement so that your medical team can treat Xiaoxiao's condition more rigorously. What's wrong with that?

Moreover, with the agreement as a safety net, Xiaoxiao can feel more at ease during her treatment.

Didn't you pat your chest and say you were absolutely certain?

Since you're so confident, what's wrong with signing an agreement?

Or is your so-called "absolute certainty" just empty talk to deceive us?

"Exactly! We trusted you so much before!"

The woman among the three also stepped forward, her eyes slightly red, and she accused him with a mixture of grievance and anger.

"Back then, in order to get you to take over Xiaoxiao's treatment as soon as possible, we spoke up for you everywhere online, refuted those who doubted you, and did our best to uphold justice for you."

But you, with this excuse of "being afraid of losing your job," how can you face us after all the anticipation and effort we've put in these past few days?

Faced with the barrage of accusations from the three men, Yu Chenzhou showed no anger. Instead, he slowly lowered his eyelids, revealing an expression of deep remorse, and sighed softly, saying:

"To be honest, I'm really envious of you guys."

It's so wonderful to be able to give your all to the people you love and do what you want to do at such a young age.

Ah! Youth is wonderful!

But I can't; life has already worn down my edges.

"I have a mortgage and car loan to pay every month, and I also have elderly and frail parents to support. This job is my only support; I simply cannot afford to lose it."

After softly sighing at the helplessness of life, Yu Chenzhou raised his head again, his eyes filled with earnestness, and continued to explain earnestly:

"You may not understand, but medical procedures are inherently accompanied by unpredictable objective risks. The success of a surgery is affected by a variety of factors, such as the patient's physical condition and postoperative recovery."

No doctor in the world can give an "absolute guarantee".

The agreements her company required her to sign essentially shifted all the risks onto the doctors, which is neither in line with the rules of the medical industry nor legally valid.

Even if I wanted to sign, my superiors would never allow me to do so, and my colleagues at the hospital would not cooperate with me in the treatment.

You must have heard the stories of Lü Meng crossing the river in disguise and Sima Yi's oath at the Luo River, right?

Some things that violate principles, once done, will lead to disgrace and eternal infamy.

If I insist on signing this agreement, I will be fired by the hospital regardless of whether the agreement will ultimately take effect.

Even the entire medical industry will blacklist me, and I will have nowhere to go.

You might think I'm exaggerating, but I'm telling the truth.

Ever since I refused to help Xiaoxiao get treatment, my pillow has been wet every morning when I wake up.

I'm truly heartbroken and devastated, but this is the helplessness and powerlessness I feel as an adult!

When he got emotional, Yu Chenzhou raised his hand and punched his chest a few times in frustration.

With her other hand, she secretly pinched her thigh hard, and the sharp pain instantly brought out a few crystal tears, which slid down her cheeks.

Seeing the genuine pain on Yu Chenzhou's face, and noticing the few seemingly fake tears in the corners of his eyes, the three people in the office were completely moved, and their previous doubts and anger vanished instantly.

The three of them looked at each other and saw guilt in each other's eyes.

Then, the woman stepped forward first, sincerely apologizing while asking expectantly:

"I'm sorry, Dr. Yu, we were too impulsive and misunderstood you."

We know you're facing difficulties, so what should we do now to get you to help Xiaoxiao get treatment?

"The solution is simple: just find a way to persuade Xiaoxiao's company to give up on making me sign that unreasonable agreement."

After saying that, he instantly concealed the pain on his face, his eyes became firm, and he turned to righteously denounce.

"From what I understand privately, Xiaoxiao herself did not actually have the right to refuse this agreement."

It's highly likely that her company was worried about losing her as a cash cow and feared that something might go wrong during her treatment, affecting their profits, so they made the decision for her without her consent.

To put it bluntly, this is a conspiracy by unscrupulous capitalists to sacrifice the health of artists for profit!

As Xiaoxiao's most loyal fan, I must stand firmly in her defense to resist the exploitation and harm inflicted by these unscrupulous capitalists and safeguard her legal rights!

"Yes! You're absolutely right! It's all the fault of those unscrupulous capitalists!"

We must get justice for Xiaoxiao! We absolutely cannot let her be bullied by the company!

The woman immediately echoed, then looked at Yu Chenzhou apologetically again.

"Dr. Yu, I'm so sorry. We misunderstood you before. It turns out you really care about Xiaoxiao. You are the real fan."

By the way, have you joined Xiaoxiao's fan group?

I still have a few empty spots in my group, would you like me to add you?

"You're welcome. We're all fans who support Xiaoxiao; we're practically family. It's so great to be able to join your group!"

Yu Chenzhou smiled with delight and spoke with a hint of excitement.

"I had joined a fan group before, but they didn't understand my difficulties in refusing to sign the agreement at all, and even kicked me out as a hater."

Thank you for understanding me, I've finally found my people!

As he spoke, he took out his phone and scanned the QR code to join Chen Xiaoxiao's fan group.

After successfully joining the group chat, the three seemed to have found a new direction for their endeavors, and determined expressions appeared on their faces.

After a brief farewell to Yu Chenzhou, they hurriedly left the hospital together, preparing to go online to call on other fans to boycott Chen Xiaoxiao's company.

Thus, the dispute caused by the agreement has come to a temporary end.

As the onlookers outside gradually dispersed, the office door was gently pushed open, and Lu Haifeng, who had been watching the commotion from outside for quite some time, walked in.

He slammed the door shut behind him, a mocking smile on his face, and said sarcastically:

"Tsk tsk, Dr. Yu, your acting skills are absolutely amazing. Seriously, it's a waste of your talent that you're not an actor. The Oscars should give you a small golden statuette."

"Of course!"

Yu Chenzhou leaned back in his office chair, raised his chin smugly, and replied in the same joking tone.

"If I really entered the entertainment industry, I'd beat up those guys surnamed Liang and kick those guys named Hui, and in the end, the Best Actor title would either belong to someone surnamed Yu or someone named Chen Zhou!"

"Hehe, you're really getting cocky when I say you're fat."

Lu Haifeng rolled his eyes, glancing at Yu Chenzhou's phone as he rapidly tapped on the screen. Seeing him actively participating in the fan group he had just joined, he teased him jokingly.

"Speaking of which, you've actually become a fan of Chen Xiaoxiao. When did that happen?"

If your girlfriend found out you've become a mountaineer, she'd probably be in serious trouble with her knees.

"What the hell is 'The Climbers'?"

"Just now, didn't you see me join the group with your own eyes?"

Yu Chenzhou didn't even look up. While complaining, his fingers continued to slide rapidly across the screen as he spoke matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Haifeng was speechless.

"What's the point of joining this stupid group?"

Lu Haifeng rolled his eyes in annoyance and complained.

"These groups are full of brainless, irrational fans who act and speak solely based on their emotions, without any rationality. Spending too much time with them will distort your values!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Yu Chenzhou's phone screen and saw that the group chat was full of slogans like "Boycott the black-hearted company," which made her look even more disgusted.

Yu Chenzhou finally put down his phone, looked up at Lu Haifeng who was looking at him with disgust, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, and deliberately asked in suspense:

"Old Lu, it seems your knowledge is still not broad enough."

Do you know what the thirty-second stratagem of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is?

"What plan?"

Lu Haifeng was taken aback by his question and subconsciously asked back. He quickly went through the Thirty-Six Stratagems in his mind, but couldn't immediately recall what the Thirty-Second Stratagem was.

"A counter-espionage plot!"

Yu Chenzhou spoke slowly and deliberately, his eyes gleaming with cunning.

"A counter-espionage plot..."

Lu Haifeng suddenly realized what was going on, and then couldn't help but laugh, teasing him knowingly.

"Hehe, so it's not unfair that Chen Xiaoxiao was tricked by you!"

You've even resorted to military strategy to deal with her; if she doesn't suffer a tragedy, who will?
