"Didn't I ask you to pretend to be that older woman's boyfriend before? Even got you to have dinner with her," Alice murmured, tracing circles on Joseph's chest with her fingertip.

"Yeah, that did happen. Why?" Joseph nodded, curious.

"Well, besides that, she used you as an excuse to pacify her family. And now..." Alice trailed off, clearly holding something back.

Joseph grew anxious. What was this girl doing, teasing him like this today?

"And now what?" he asked.

"Her parents want her to bring you home over summer break. You know, to meet the family and all that," Alice finally said, rather cheerfully.

"Oh, that’s all? Just turn it down," Joseph replied casually, giving Alice’s cheek a gentle pinch.

He had to admit, this little girl was adorable. Her cheeks had just the right amount of softness, smooth and tender to the touch. After a night of intimate connection, Alice seemed especially docile, letting him pinch her without protest.

"You can't just turn it down, Joseph," Alice shook

    Zasit looked furious, but the swarm of reporters clearly had no intention of backing down."Mr. Zasit, as a journalist, as part of the media, I have to disagree with you. I believe that if we lose money, we can earn it back. But if we lose our conscience—well, we can earn even more. That’s why we work so hard, you see?""Let me jot this down—‘Renowned musician lashes out at Elysian media, accuses them of selling out their conscience for profit.’""That headline’s too mild. Try this: ‘Wealthy maestro blasts Elysian female reporters, claims they’ve abandoned dignity for money!’""As top-tier journalists, it’s our job to embellish, to twist facts—70% fiction, 30% truth. Every ordinary story must be spiced up with themes like class resentment, mother-in-law drama, or gender conflict. Stirring public emotions is how we capture and brainwash the masses.""Colleagues, remember—the public is just our audience. Any story that stirs emotion, no matter how morally bankrupt or exploitative, is ju

    "I never said it was a problem!"At those words, Joseph glanced up at Fiona."Uh... not a problem," she stammered, momentarily caught off guard."This particular herb does affect the patient—but not in a bad way. In fact, the effect is quite beneficial.""The student who worked with me on this prescription is extremely creative. He added this ingredient specifically to address the patient’s unique condition. It’s a textbook case of targeted treatment.""I asked him why he included it, and his explanation was more than satisfactory," Joseph patiently explained."I see... Looks like I still have a lot to learn. I can’t believe I didn’t catch that. I’ll need to study this prescription more closely when I get back," Fiona said with a helpless smile.Although she was one of Joseph’s graduate students, the young scholars at Nova University were all quite impressive. And with Joseph’s guidance and inspiration, they seemed to flourish even more.From this free clinic event alone, it was clear

    "Is that so? Let me think of a solution." Joseph stroked his chin thoughtfully after hearing the student's concern. A moment later, inspiration struck. "I’ve got it." He spoke up suddenly. "Professor Wilson?" the student looked at him curiously. "If the banners are too many to hang all at once, then here’s what you do—pack them into boxes and rotate them weekly on the wall. That way, each one gets its moment in the spotlight. After all, these banners aren’t just about the teachers—they’re a reflection of you students as well." "Of course, if any of you want to take one home, you’re welcome to. Consider it a mark of your hard work and a keepsake of your contribution." Joseph smiled as he spoke. "Really? We can do that?" the student asked, both surprised and excited. "Of course," Joseph said firmly. "Then we’ll do exactly as you say, Professor." The student grinned. "Alright then. Go on. And remind everyone—once the clinic ends, we still have the written final

    At that moment, everyone had gathered around, watching the playback with intense focus."Not bad at all. I think this version is good to go.""Professor Wilson’s impromptu delivery was so natural and sincere—it’s like he voiced everything I wanted to say.""Exactly. A video like this will definitely resonate with the incoming students.""See? Speaking from the heart really is the best approach."...The group erupted in praise."Professor Fang, Professor Wilson, I think we’ve got it. We should use this take," said the cameraman, turning to both of them."No objections here. I think it turned out pretty well," Joseph responded calmly and directly."I’d object even less!" Professor Fang beamed. "This came out better than I ever expected. Are we actually calling it a one-take success?"He had initially assumed the shoot would be time-consuming—maybe even requiring overtime on Saturday. He never imagined they’d get such a perfect result so quickly."Of course it counts as a one-take succe

    The buzz surrounding the free clinic wasn’t just limited to the internet—it had sparked a wildfire of enthusiasm among the faculty and students at Nova University as well.Many professors from both the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the School of Modern Medicine had joined the initiative. The clinic served multiple purposes: it trained students, contributed to public welfare, and elevated the university’s reputation—truly a win on all fronts.For the professors, it was a welcome opportunity to work alongside their students. On one hand, it allowed them to showcase their expertise; on the other, it fostered a valuable exchange of medical knowledge under the banner of community service.Everyone—from students to faculty—was more than willing to participate in such a meaningful learning experience.In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed, and Friday arrived.Joseph arrived on campus early that morning. He had previously agreed with the university’s publicity depa

    "To be honest, our publicity department hasn't come up with any particularly brilliant ideas," Fang said, adjusting his glasses as he stood up, his tone earnest and sincere. "We're not really good at hype or marketing, and frankly, that kind of thing doesn't quite align with Nova University's low-key, pragmatic style.""Our initial idea is to film a short video featuring Professor Wilson and post it on our official social media accounts. Given how popular Professor Wilson already is, and how that popularity is likely to grow, even just riding that wave a little could greatly boost our student recruitment efforts."He glanced nervously around the room. "I'm not sure what the President or everyone else thinks?""I think that's already more than enough," Geoffrey Harris responded without hesitation. "The free clinic itself is excellent publicity. As long as the livestream continues, the promotional impact will remain. Having Professor Wilson record a video just shifts that attention towa
