Following the script meticulously planned by Brother Qiang, Lu Renxin and Chen Yuanyuan were on high alert.

With a heavy camera in one hand and a flashlight and reflector in the other, Qiang was fully armed, looking just like a war correspondent.

During their lunch break, the group sneaked into a relatively secluded corner between the floors of the department.

This was a feng shui treasure spot that Lu Renxin had specially chosen to avoid crowds, worried about being discovered and feeling too embarrassed. But what he feared most came to pass.

"Lights in place, sound recording normal, start!" Qiang shouted in a low voice.

Just as Lu Renxin had adjusted his expression and was preparing to assume the aloof doctor persona that Qiang Ge had designed for him, a kind voice suddenly came from behind:

"Hey, Lu, what kind of secret activity are you guys up to here?"

The group was startled and turned around to see Director Yuan, who was smiling at them with a round belly.

"Good morning, Director." Lu Renxin quickly stood up straight to greet him, then awkwardly scratched his head and explained:

"Um... I haven't had many patients at my clinic lately, so I was thinking of making some short videos to increase my visibility."

"Oh, that's great! Young people these days are so quick-witted and know how to use new media. Great idea, keep it up, don't be shy!" Director Yuan chuckled, gave a thumbs-up, and walked away with his hands behind his back, satisfied.

Lu Renxin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although it was embarrassing to be discovered by his superiors, at least he wasn't criticized.

But to his utter surprise, Director Yuan turned around and singled him out for praise in his office:

"Look at Xiao Lu, he's even using his break time to film videos in the hallway to boost his popularity! You should all learn from him!"

His tone of voice brought back memories of school days for everyone in the office: "Look at so-and-so, they can all get first place. They should all learn from him." The level of hatred was off the charts.

Gossip spreads incredibly fast in hospitals; even the slightest disturbance can draw a crowd.

When two patients were fighting downstairs, a row of doctors and nurses were lying in the corridor, gossiping about.

Now that someone is actually filming a video, coupled with the hatred that Director Yuan has stirred up, of course I have to go and take a look.

Before long, a large crowd of onlookers arrived at the filming location.

Nurse Number One walked by, peeking in and asking, "Xiao Lu, what are you doing? Oh, you even have lights on, are you filming a video?"

Immediately afterward, Liu Yichen walked by, looking on with curiosity: "What's going on? So many people are gathered around, filming a video?"

Lu Renxin could only nod vigorously.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

What was originally a carefully chosen secluded corner was turned into a scene of onlookers, with everyone standing not far away, pointing and whispering.

"Um... Yuanyuan, try to look more natural, and stop looking into the crowd."

Lu Renxin gritted his teeth, maintaining a fake smile, and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth to remind his partner.

"Doctor, I'm fine, but you're too stiff, like a piece of wood," Chen Yuanyuan said mercilessly.

Being an online celebrity isn't easy! Maintaining composure and performing under the gaze of so many people is more tiring than performing ten surgeries with a mentor.

Lu Renxin was prepared that his colleagues and friends might see the video, but he didn't expect it to be known so early, even before it was filmed, and it even attracted a crowd.

Liu Yichen added fuel to the fire: "Xiao Lu really has ideas. Why didn't I think of traffic generation back then? I was stuck on the sidelines for so long."

Jiang Zhaoning initially disdained such unorthodox methods, but recalling the number of patients she saw, she pursed her lips and hesitated: Perhaps I could give it a try?

Finally, when Brother Qiang said it was over, Lu Renxin and Chen Yuanyuan felt like they had been granted a pardon. They packed their things without stopping, one of them rushing into the office and the other into the ward.

Qiang was completely immersed in the joy of creation, carrying his stuff back to the post-production editing stage, ready to upload the video as soon as possible.

……

After the video was uploaded, it gradually gained traction over time. Netizens' memories were awakened, and they all made connections to the previous video of the Mount Tai rescue.

[Oh, it was him! That handsome doctor!]

I also saw their hospital's promotional video. Are any of you ladies planning to check it out?

【Me! Me! Me! My home is nearby, and I see him at his clinic on Tuesday mornings!】

……

Some netizens were just making jokes, some were attracted by his good looks, and some genuinely had questions and were planning to see what happened...

The reasons varied, but everyone knew that there was a doctor named Lu Renxin at Anyuan County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

……

Tuesday morning was Lu Renxin's outpatient day.

As soon as he arrived at the consultation room, he sensed that the atmosphere was different.

Last week, the clinic was deserted, but today there was a not-too-long queue, mostly young women.

As they queued, they looked around with their phones in hand. Lu Renxin's appearance caused a small commotion: "He's here, he's here! That handsome doctor is here!"

What kind of ridiculous name is that!

"Hey, he seems even more handsome in person than in the videos."

"It seems so, she could easily star in an idol drama!"

……

Lu Renxin sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. The lead generation was indeed successful, but it seemed to have gone completely astray. Few people cared about his skills; they were all just looking at his appearance.

Although most people came for his good looks, upon seeing him in person, and with the added prestige of the director, everyone became serious, their cheeks slightly flushed, as they tried to find any problems related to their anorectal issues.

He rubbed his eyes, calmed himself down, and began the formal consultation.

[Patient number 0801, please proceed to the examination room for your appointment.]

The door was pushed open, and a young girl walked in. Before Lu Renxin could speak, she blushed and blurted out:

"Dr. Lu, my problem isn't serious, but I bleed every time I go to the toilet..."

Lu Renxin listened attentively, occasionally answering with his professional knowledge, without showing any displeasure or being perfunctory because the questions seemed trivial.

"Eat something light when you get home, and then use this suppository!"

"Ah... okay, okay!" The girl took the prescription and left as if she had found a treasure.

"If there are no problems, let's move on to the next one!" The next person to enter was an older woman...

Next came a tall, thin young man who had come seeking his expertise. His problem wasn't too serious either—a low-lying anal fistula—but he needed to be hospitalized for surgery.

After finishing his morning clinic hours, Lu Renxin rubbed his sore neck and stared into thought as he looked at the fifteen patients listed on his computer and the two admission slips in his hand.

The number of people registering for outpatient appointments has increased compared to last week, and even if it's only a few more, it's still a significant improvement.

While the method of attracting patients is indeed feasible, to be honest, this kind of hype comes and goes quickly. To truly retain patients, solid skills and abilities are still required.

This is the duty of a doctor, and he has never forgotten it for a moment.
