Well, can it be said like that?
After all, this diagnosis had been supported by the consensus of international experts. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Moreover, the surgery for Liu Zhizhong had been performed, and the familial consent was provided by Yang Bingbing. Since Liu Zhizhong was under contract with the company, it was only natural for Yang Bingbing to approve the surgery.
The next morning, Mr. L's new media account matrix simultaneously released the relevant news and announced that, after his recovery, Mr. L was unlikely to produce any works again. Updates on his recovery would be published sequentially while extending thanks to all friends from various sectors for their long-term support and affection—it was filled with the usual pleasantries.
Even in this news release, a tearful image of Liu Zhizhong in the hospital was included—it was a very emotional one, albeit blurred.
Indeed, it was truly emotional. Who could bear the tear inducer dripping into their eyes?
But when pretend play turns serious, it needs to be done right.
Within 48 hours on Mr. L's account, billions of views had been generated—a vast treasure of traffic.
His vocal cord disease and throat surgery truly tugged at the hearts of millions!
Those who loved him, one can only imagine their worries!
However, at this time, all his three phones were turned off—he didn't accept any messages or calls, communicating only through social media to announce that he would strive to recover after the surgery and rest quietly for a while.
Far away in Tiandu, Qin Bo burst into hysterical laughter upon hearing the news. Damn it, he thought, if he couldn't have his money-making tool, neither could Feng Xiaoyue—serves them right! That bastard deserved it for the misery he caused, truly a retribution!
Of course, the head of the Tiandu Propaganda Bureau was somewhat dumbfounded too, feeling a miscalculation. It seemed they had lost someone capable of suppressing negative publicity.
Could Mr. L's voice ever return to its former state after such surgery? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even the boss was just contemplating how to leverage Mr. L's account—whether it could still properly guide social trends. After much consideration, he concluded it was hopeless.
These thoughts were exactly what Liu Zhizhong had hoped for, heh...
After the surgery, Liu Zhizhong was of course recuperating in a villa set up as a medical facility, troubled by the constant flow of visitors over several days.
Starting with Mr. Zheng leading the Zheng couple and Feng Xiaoyue, followed by the Xiang Family's siblings, Li Tanglu, Luo Tianlin, and the insincere Qian Xuan, along with more from the Provincial Propaganda and Provincial Red Cross Society.
The news naturally spread to Yangzhou, bringing Du Yuesheng, Zhang Tianbao, Lu Yumei, Zhao Han, and even Lu Yuqing…
He lay or sat there, his throat ostensibly bandaged for show, outwardly claiming to have undergone a leading-edge laryngoscopy that left no surgical scars, hence not affecting his appearance—the bandage was merely a medicinal measure.
Liu Zhizhong was pretending, but he had to stay silent.
Listening to people's concerns warmed his heart.
His only regret was that his wife, Zhao Yan, seemed to have a heart of stone; she didn't even come to see him.
However, upon learning of Liu Zhizhong's condition, the Xiang Family's siblings visited him to pay their respects and soon returned to the South. Xiang Wenxin no longer insisted on Liu Zhizhong accompanying her on a tour around Hu Yang Province—a normal human response, though Liu Zhizhong felt slightly regretful.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong knew his recovery would be swift, at least swift enough to assist Qian Xuan in returning his god-sister to Yunxi Province to tend to her mother's grave...
