8: Chapter 8 Official Endorsement – ​​Isn't this just pure charity work?

After that bullet comment, it was like a chain reaction.

A tide of mocking comments flooded in.

"Exactly, who doesn't know to go to the hospital when they're sick? Who still takes Chinese medicine these days? Don't people just take fast-acting medicine?"

"This guy is way too arrogant. Acupoint Pressing and Tuina massage do have some merit, but it's all superficial. It treats the symptoms but not the cause; it just feels good for a moment."

"Right on. Wasn't it the same when I did Fire Cupping? At the sauna, they said my liver fire was high, and at the cupping place, they said I had heavy dampness. There are real experts out there, but there are way more charlatans."

"Exactly. Last time I went for Fire Cupping, it cost me nine hundred and ninety-eight. I still remember it to this day."

Everyone gritted their teeth in anger as they spoke about their past experiences.

They had zero tolerance for these charlatans.

It only felt good for a short while when they first started, but after a few days, the discomfort returned. Some even felt off right after finishing their Fire Cupping.

This was all the fault of those unscrupulous, black-hearted bosses!

For a moment, the verbal attacks were overwhelming and caught everyone off guard.

Seeing the tide of opinion turning one-sided, Su Xueer was about to speak up for Lin Heng.

But at that moment, a golden bullet comment appeared.

"Who says Chinese medicine is no good!?"

"Who dares to say this young man's technique isn't good?!"

"With this level of skill, to be honest, it wouldn't be a problem for him to be a Chief Physician at our place!"

As soon as this golden bullet comment appeared, it immediately caught everyone's attention.

One must know that not everyone can have a golden bullet comment; after all, for ordinary people, having a colored border is already the limit.

And a golden border...

Besides money, one must have power and a significant background!

The person who sent the message with the golden border naturally had quite a background.

Renhe Hall!

Upon seeing this account, someone quickly recognized it.

"Holy crap! This is the official account of Dragon Capital's top Chinese medicine family! Their ancestors were Imperial Physicians for generations! Otherwise, it couldn't possibly be golden!"

"Damn, I just realized. I didn't expect such a famous pharmaceutical enterprise to want Lin Heng to be the Chief Physician at Renhe Hall!?"

"It's definitely them. It seems Lin Heng really does have some skill, at least far better than those charlatans outside."

"Maybe Renhe Hall just wants to save face for Chinese medicine so Lin Heng doesn't look too bad. But since Lin Heng can make those people feel great with his needles, at least he won't harm them."

Everyone thought Renhe Hall was just putting on a show.

After all, everyone is online now and isn't so easily fooled anymore.

Tuina and massage go without saying, but things like Acupuncture and Acupoint Pressing are quite mysterious.

Unless someone is in their forties or fifties, most wouldn't dare let them use needles on them.

After all, just trying to memorize those hundreds of acupoints is no easy task, let alone actually performing the treatment...

That is ten thousand times more difficult than just memorizing the points!

Even if Lin Heng had started practicing with needles from the womb, it would be impossible for him to reach the level where Renhe Hall would invite him to be a Chief Physician!

And now he's only in his early twenties—how could he possibly deserve it?

Everyone understood it was just mutual business praise.

However, with Renhe Hall speaking up, everyone felt Lin Heng wasn't so annoying anymore. At least he was seriously helping those guests with their ailments.

It seemed... like he hadn't even collected any money?

Isn't this purely doing a good deed!

Su Xueer still wanted to thank Renhe Hall; after all, without them, the public opinion in her live stream would have likely exploded by now.

She was just about to speak when her assistant nearby seemed to signal something to her.

A hint of confusion appeared on Su Xueer's face.

At that moment, an assistant hurried over and whispered something in Su Xueer's ear.

Su Xueer's expression immediately became quite peculiar.

She looked somewhat suspiciously at Lin Heng, who was treating people behind her, her expression very colorful.

This...

"Hmm!? Xueer's expression seems a bit strange. I wonder what that assistant just told her?"

"No idea, but Su Xueer looks quite conflicted and puzzled. Is there something she can't say out loud?"

"Probably creating some effect for the show. I'll wait and see."

"Wait! Look, Su Xueer is walking toward Lin Heng!"

The atmosphere in the live stream reached a climax.

They were all anticipating the question Su Xueer might ask next.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Su Xueer looked at Lin Heng with some doubt and then quickly asked:

"Um, the female CEO of Renhe Hall just called us. She said she wants to meet you and learn the lost Dragon Emperor Needle technique from you. Are you willing?"

*Hiss*...!

Upon hearing this news, the netizens were completely stunned.

"Holy crap! I thought Renhe Hall was just doing some mutual business praise, but in reality, Lin Heng actually has the real deal?"

"Even Renhe Hall, whose family served as Imperial Physicians for generations, is personally getting involved. Is there anything this guy can't do?"

"Sorry, I admit my voice was a bit loud just now. I take it back!"

"Renhe Hall's people are among the wealthiest in Dragon Capital. With the medicine business being so profitable now, Renhe Hall is incredibly powerful and influential. I don't believe Lin Heng would refuse."

"Exactly. With that kind of skill, why bother treating patients? Just sell the technique to Renhe Hall and achieve financial freedom immediately."

Everyone grew curious, but in their hearts, they already had an answer.

Su Xueer felt the same way.

However, Lin Heng's decisions never disappointed.

He shook his head with a calm face: "I'd like to, but I'm afraid those people might not be able to learn it."

After all, he didn't know how to teach it either... it was all given by the system, completely engraved in his muscle memory, like an innate ability.

And the reason he was working so hard to earn money was precisely so he could continue to exchange for more skills.

This...

Su Xueer's expression instantly became awkward.

She didn't expect Lin Heng to end the conversation with such a sentence.

"Holy... I have never seen such a thick-skinned person!"

"One nod would mean immense wealth and reaching financial freedom in one step. Does he just like to challenge himself?"

"I don't know about challenging himself, but I do know that I've once again lost the ability to even come close to financial freedom, not even a glimpse."

"If it were me, I'd take the money by hook or by crook. I didn't expect Lin Heng to be so blunt."

"I always thought Ding Zhen from Mama Province was the peak of bluntness, but I didn't expect there to be an even greater champion here."

The bullet comments continued to pour in.

To ease the awkwardness, Su Xueer returned to the original question.

"Junior, you're doing this as a part-time job, right? May I ask how much you charge to treat one person?"

"Thirty!" Lin Heng pulled out a silver needle and replied calmly.

*Hiss*...!

Isn't this pure charity!?
