As Zheng Jianguo said, although his identity is a member of the Republic, he is still in the learning stage at this time, and the label on his body still belongs to the resident doctor of Massachusetts General Hospital, and the reason why he can have a semi-transcendent status in the digestive center is because of the recognition of the American Gastroenterology Society by Massachusetts General Hospital.

Zheng Jianguo is also a special director of the American Society of Gastroenterology, and then entered the Massachusetts General Hospital for residency training with this title, and in this case, it is understandable to represent the hospital at the conference.

On the contrary, if Zheng Jianguo attended the meeting as a member of the Republic Society of Gastroenterology at this time, then his title of special director would be a good idea, after all, it is a kind of recognized qualification.

Considering that Zheng Jianguo is still receiving residency training, the recent research in the direction of Helicobacter pylori has been done at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Then Zheng Jianguo's speech at this conference can only be a retreat, and he can't take his research at Massachusetts General Hospital to communicate with people in the name of the Republic Society of Gastroenterology, right?

Even if Zheng Jianguo is willing, then Director Amy is afraid that he will explode on the spot-

What's more, there's a henchman behind the butt.

When Zheng Jianguo explained to Professor Jin in Mandarin, Esther next to him looked at him with a pair of big eyes, long and black eyelashes under his thin black eyebrows, and blinked with curiosity on his small cheeks, looking at the four people in front of him like two small brooms, his eyes fell on the bag and key in Zheng Jianguo's hand, and a voice came from next to him when his eyes lit up: "Hello Miss——"

"Hello—"

Looking at the man in front of him vigilantly on his delicate cheeks, Esther saw the strange man with a smile on his face and said: "I'm Douglas, I'm a talent scout, I found that you have a kind of intellectual beauty that is rare in young people, and of course your appearance is also very outstanding-"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Douglas, I don't want to be an actor or obviously, I'm a senior resident in the joint MD and PhD training program, I don't have to rely on my physical talent to eat, thank you for your kindness. ”

Looking at the business card handed by the other party's fingertips, Esther immediately shook her head and refused with disgust, she finally survived the hellish four years of medical school life, and now let her give up the upcoming Sunshine Avenue to change careers, how do you feel that the other party is not well-intentioned: "Sorry, you can leave." ”

"Oh, it's a doctor? sorry, so I won't bother you. ”

Scout Douglas looked at Aster's cheeks and figure again, and saw the hall manager Gibson appear next to him, and he waved his hand and turned away, leaving Gibson, who was watching his back disappear, and opened his mouth at Aster, "Miss, did Douglas harass you?"

"No, is he famous?"

Esther thought back that since the other party didn't pester herself, she shook her head and replied?Of course she knew that this was the manager of the hotel?, so she thought that this scout was very famous, but she didn't expect Gibson to look at Zheng Jianguo who was looking at her, and said to her: "Douglas is a little famous, but he is an adult scout——"

“！！！”

When a few black lines appeared on Esther's fair forehead, Zheng Jianguo had already dealt with Professor Jin, and after hearing this, he looked at Gibson, and immediately said, "We will pay attention, thank you, Manager Gibson." ”

"You're welcome~"

Gibson looked back at Esther, who was still blackened, of course he could see that the relationship between the two should be intimate, but the other party was still a little surprised to hear the hint in his words: "If you need anything, please call me directly." ”

"Okay!"

Zheng Jianguo nodded again and watched Gibson leave? He had already brought out the memory of a wife murder case in his mind by the name of this manager, and it was only considering that Esther had been harassed by an adult scout?

"Room 9015? You should also be on the 9th floor, right?"

Asther glanced at the few people behind Zheng Jianguo, and after seeing that he didn't have the idea of greeting, he asked, "Do you want me to take you over?"

"9023, this time the organizer is very generous, and has booked a single room for those who come to participate in the meeting, although it is not a high-end room, but after all, you don't have to live with people-"

Esther's mood began to improve when he spoke, and his small but delicate cheeks were filled with a youthful smile, but when this smile fell in Zheng Jianguo's eyes, he subconsciously looked around and found that no one paid attention to the two, so he took Esther to the elevator next to him and whispered: "Your previous state was not right, you were too intimate in private, and others will think about it." ”

"That's right, I'm just letting others think, but you can rest assured that I won't knock on your door in the middle of the night-"

Esther muttered in a voice and saw that the elevator was open and there was someone inside, so he lowered his voice and followed Zheng Jianguo into the elevator, and the detective helped him press the button on the 9th floor, hugged his arms and looked annoyed: "We're a little late." ”

"A little late?"

Looking at Esther, who was obviously in a good mood, Zheng Jianguo saw her for the first time, but Esther nodded after his words fell: "I didn't say the meeting, I said that the 54 club was blocked, and I thought I would have a chance to try my luck and see if I could get in." ”

"Club 54? I think I've heard about it, how did it get blocked?"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect Esther to care about the place to play, but when he asked this question with a puzzled face, he saw Esther as if he was taken aback and said, "You don't know Club 54?

"Oh, I remember, it's the discotheque, it's a place where celebrities gather, you don't necessarily have money and status, you can't get in, the condition for entering is to be "novel and interesting", I don't think this word is enough to show what the boss wants, I think you need to be "trendy", wear "tide", dress "tide", then you are the most beautiful star in the dance hall that day. ”

Living in the United States, where information spreads relatively quickly, Zheng Jianguo has not read relevant reports, and soon remembered this nightclub called "Club 54", and he subconsciously expressed his opinion.

Disco is a dance that will be popular in the future with the revolution, and behind this kind of deafening rhythm music without any rules, it is actually about the most primitive expression of rhythm, which eventually evolved into the popular break dance in the world a few years later.

And this nightclub, which opened in 1977 called Club 54, is likely to be a trend pioneer in disco dancing and discotheques and nightclubs in Zheng Jianguo's opinion, but what surprised him was that it was seized: "Did you evade taxes?"

"Hey, did you guess?"

This time it was Esther's turn to be surprised, Yuan opened her already big eyes and asked with a wink, just as the elevator door opened at this time, and then she remembered some rumors about Zheng Jianguo: "I heard that you are also good at doing business?"

"Otherwise, how would you do your own research?"

Seeing that there was no one outside the door, Zheng Jianguo was infected by the delicate appearance in front of her, and subconsciously opened his mouth and immediately walked up: "Who did you listen to?"

"Jack Edison, our computer administrator, he said that your "Magic Cube" is selling very well, and that several people he knows are playing it, and that "Snake"-"

Esther has long been accustomed to Zheng Jianguo's silent attitude, although she is nearly two years older than Zheng Jianguo, but she always unconsciously treats the other party as older than herself.

At this time, the two of them arrived in front of the 9023 room one after the other, and as Zheng Jianguo opened the door of the 9023 room with the key, Esther poked his head out and looked left and right at the corridor after entering the room, hung the Do Not Disturb sign behind the door on the doorknob, and then closed the door and latched it.

It's just that more than an hour has passed after the door was closed, and with the door of the elevator at the end of the aisle, Fiona, who was full of curiosity, looked left and right at the room number and looked at it slowly, and finally stopped in front of the door of room 9023, looking at the "Do Not Disturb" apricot eyes on the handle: "This time, is it to make up for sleep inside?"

"Click?"

A thought flashed through her mind, and Fiona heard the sound of the latch opening inside, so after looking left and right and finding that there was no one in the corridor, she immediately dodged into the half-open door, not wanting to glare suddenly in the next moment: "You-"

"You-"

The ruddy-faced Esther turned pale in an instant, she didn't know the relationship between the person in front of her and Zheng Jianguo at this time, but she thought that the matter between herself and Zheng Jianguo had been broken, so that Rao is extremely high psychological quality, and her open mouth also stumbled: "You, you, who are you?"

"I also want to ask if you are- you don't seem to be Serena?"

Seeing the pink cheeks on the other party's face, Fiona immediately recognized that this was not Yang Na, and instantly understood that she was afraid that she was playing a friendly match with Zheng Jianguo before, and suddenly looked at Zheng Jianguo who appeared in the bathroom with mixed feelings, and when her eyes swept over his smooth body, she didn't expect to hear him open her mouth: "Esther, close the door." ”

"Oh-"

Quickly looked at Fiona in front of her, of course Esther knew that the Serena in her mouth was Yang Na who had been in the emergency room of Massachusetts General Hospital, and subconsciously closed the door before she woke up to this person, I am afraid that she also maintains something to do with Zheng Jianguo, otherwise she will definitely not have such an attitude after flashing in like before, and immediately said: "Who are you?"

"I'm Fiona, Zheng's friend, I wanted to scare him, but I didn't expect you to scare me. ”

Fiona looked Esther up and down, tilting her head as she looked at the strawberry on her neck, but just as she was facing Esther with a certain sense of superiority, Zheng Jianguo's voice in the bathroom came: "Fiona, do you have something to do with me?"

"I-of course have something to do with you. ”

Fiona, who was full of a certain sense of superiority, was stunned for a moment, and then spoke after facing Esther, whose expression had changed drastically, and saw Zheng Jianguo appear next to him with a bath towel wrapped around his waist, and when he wiped the wet hair on his head with a towel in one hand, he said: "Don't do this in the future, you can go." ”

"Why? Just because I got a boyfriend?"

Fiona looked stunned and then looked at Zheng Jianguo in a daze and blurted out a question, and then continued to speak as if she remembered something: "You didn't say that I couldn't find a boyfriend????

"Oh, you broke up with Jefferson?"

Seeing Fiona's expression change with his voice, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help frowning and said, "You said that it was impossible for the two of us—"

"Jianguo, I'll go first, you talk slowly. ”

With a hint of surprise on her rosy cheeks, Esther spoke to the two of them, but when her hand was on the doorknob, she turned back as if she remembered something, "Don't forget the virus." ”

"The virus?"

Fiona's attention was diverted, Esther had already quickly opened the door and flashed out, but when she looked at the few Chinese who came over, she hadn't forgotten to bring the door to the probe, and she didn't want to shake off the "Do Not Disturb" sign because of the big movement, so she leaned over and picked up the sign and hung it back on the doorknob, turning around and giving away.

"9023, this seems to be the room of the founding of the country-"

Seeing the back of Esther Shi Ran disappearing, Tao Ye turned his head and looked at Ye Minde and said, but just when the old man and a few people looked at the number 9023 and hesitated, the originally closed door opened again, and saw a girl in a school uniform inside with her back facing a few people, and yelled hoarsely at Zheng Jianguo, who was wrapped in a bath towel in the room: "Zheng, you are so shameless, you have to test whether there is a virus when you go to bed with you?!"

"Ahem—"

Silently looking at the situation in the room, Ye Minde took a long breath and turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back, Tao Ye, Yi Jinzhi and Wei Yongqiang turned their heads as if they had come to their senses, quickly glanced at the situation in the room and chased after Ye Minde's back.

Fiona looked at the backs of several people with a suspicious face, and then heard Zheng Jianguo in the room speak: "Fiona, my focus is not on the virus, but on the fact that you already have a boyfriend, someone who has had a boyfriend, and as your father said, I am a more traditional person, let's be friends in the future." ”

Snapping the door shut, Fiona shook her head and turned her head to look at Zheng Jianguo, and said coldly: "Zheng Jianguo, you are also a person with a girlfriend, I have broken up with Jefferson now, have you also broken up with Serena?

"What do you want to do?"

Zheng Jianguo's face was stunned for a moment, he could hear what Fiona was expressing, maybe it was because he was not bound by his boyfriend after breaking up with Jefferson, so he wanted to have a friendly match when he met him.

After all, in the hall before, when the two met, they agreed to go out at night, but they obviously didn't expect him to have a bottom line.

If Fiona has a boyfriend, Zheng Jianguo will never have any contact with her, let alone a friendly match after meeting, although this kind of friendly match has the temptation to show her "charm" and "break through taboos", and it is in line with the cognition and understanding of "love" by unmarried men and women in the United States.

However, in Zheng Jianguo's previous life and the cultural edification he received in this life, the fate of *** women touched the bottom line of the most basic morality as a human being.

Of course, Zheng Jianguo has been in the United States for two years, and he has also made some changes subtly, such as facing Fiona who was sent to the door at the last meeting, and Esther, who had obtained communication and recognition in the form of transactions before this meeting, which is the embodiment of his unconscious changes.

But I didn't want to, Fiona wanted to rekindle her old relationship with him, so she blinked and said: "With Serena's IQ, if you tell her, she will be happy to think that I have played a friendly match with you."

Because you're all top students, you train for MD and PhD at Mayo Clinic, and Esther does a combined MD and PhD training at Massachusetts General Hospital.

But I ended up choosing her, just like the more girlfriends a guy changes in college, the more attractive he is, and most male classmates like cheerleaders.

This is in line with the perception and understanding of the relationship between unmarried men and women in most people in the United States, and the undesirable person will only be ridiculed by others except to gain the sympathy of his family, not to mention that you should know that someone will nominate me for the "Lasker Award" this year.

And a quarter of the winners of this prize will win the Nobel Prize the next year, or the next year, and I said Fiona, you don't think about that now, do you?"

"Yes, would you believe me if I said that I only thought of it now?"

Fiona bit her lip tightly and said, and then walked up to him and wanted to pump Zheng Jianguo, but she didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to directly reach out and grab her raised wrist, and then saw Fiona staring at his eyes and said, "If I had known that you were so smart, I wouldn't have let you be responsible-"

"You know I wanted to be responsible for you then, but what do you want to do now?"

Zheng Jianguo's brows furrowed instantly, but Fiona put her hand on him after hearing his words, quickly ripped off the bath towel on his body, and said with a gentle smile: "I'm thinking now, will Serena forgive you when she knows that you and I and Esther are in this relationship at the same time?"

"You-"

Zheng Jianguo, who was forced to be calm, finally panicked, the reason why he calmly described Yang Na as an extremely rational woman before was that he was afraid that Fiona would come over again: "She will-"

"Shh~ So, then we won't let her know. ”

The right hand did not stop, Fiona quickly reached out the index finger of her left hand and made a silent gesture, and then looked at Zheng Jianguo's expression on her charming face, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why I broke up with him?"

When the ambiguous atmosphere of room 9023 dissipated, in front of the private waiting apron of Kennedy Airport, more than ten kilometers away, Augustus was getting out of the low-key Toyota, looking at the middle-aged man standing next to him and said, "Is Andre here?"

"It's coming, but he doesn't seem to have woken up yet, boss, this trip is a little-"

When the middle-aged man turned his head to look at the hostess with an unkind face at the hatch of the plane and said, Augustus had already waved his hand and stepped onto the boarding lane: "You will know when the time comes, let the captain inform the tower, let's leave quickly, I want to come back early." ”

"Okay—"

The middle-aged man followed Augustus to the plane with doubts in his eyes, so he went straight to the cockpit, threw Augustus to Andre, and watched in surprise as the boss pulled up his son's short-sleeved shirt as if he was looking for something, and Andre, who didn't want to get drunk, pushed his hand, and half a slap was slapped in Augustus's face, and immediately sped up to the airport, closed the door behind him and said: "Inform the tower that we are leaving, let them as soon as possible, the boss is in a hurry——"

"Okay—"

The captain glanced sideways at the middle-aged man who was beside him, and quickly reported the take-off notice on the walkie-talkie, and the middle-aged man returned to the cabin after hearing the news that he could take off, only to see Augustus sitting on the wide leather sofa, feeling out a cigar and putting it on the tip of his nose to smell, so he whispered: "Boss?"

"I'll tell you when the test results come out, oh, you can do one by the way. ”

Augustus shook his cigar and said, then looked at the middle-aged man as if he remembered something, and then said something, and the latter pressed down the suspicion in his heart, he knew that if the boss didn't want to say it, he would never be able to ask.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man knew that the plane was going to Boston, and since he talked about the examination to be done, it must be to go to the hospital or laboratory for examination.

Sure enough, just forty minutes later, the plane landed at Boston's Logan Airport, and the group of hurried people got into the three cars that had been waiting for a long time, and he confirmed his idea from Augustus's order: "Go to the Massachusetts General Hospital Digestive Center-"

"The digestive center, Zheng Jianguo's laboratory is there. ”

It's just that as his thoughts are confirmed, the middle-aged man has no happy thoughts, to be precise, his anxiety is even greater at this time: "Could it be that some virus is spreading?"

Of course, the middle-aged man didn't know that by the time he confirmed this answer, it was already three hours after sitting in the laboratory where he didn't even have a name, and Andre's wine had woken up: "Is there a result?"

"It's out—"

Catherine looked at Andre with a puzzled face, handed the test report in her hand to Augustus, and said: "Among the six of you, only the No. 3 blood test result is positive, that is, it is confirmed that you have been infected with this virus, but according to the boss, the infection window of this virus is not known yet, so if the rest of you are infected, then this result may also be misjudged——"

"Blood 3?"

Augustus's face changed and he took the six test reports, his eyes flashed and he forced the fear in his heart to press down before he spoke: "What are the symptoms of this virus infection? Is it just a purple scar on his body?"

"Well, due to the scarcity of cases found so far, there are only 3 cases so far, and at present, it is purple scar after infection, or it may be other dark scars-"

Of course, Catherine didn't know where Augustus was sacred, but she could tell from the conversation between these people that she was running from New York, and she also accepted Zheng Jianguo's suggestion.

So she found that several people were so heavy that they seemed to be in trouble, Catherine couldn't help but smile and said: "Fortunately, at present, the longest one has been infected for more than 3 years and has not developed the disease, which is not to worry about for a while——"

"How is this virus transmitted?"

Augustus saw that Catherine didn't ask the point, and saw that Catherine still nodded with a smile on her face and said: "At present, the conventional infection methods have been ruled out, such as air, water, food, and normal contact, these are all right, but the research on blood infection is still ongoing, and kissing and X contact have not been ruled out——"

"Dad, can't we go to a big hospital to see this disease?"

Andre withdrew his gaze from Catherine's face with curiosity, and Augustus shook his head directly and said, "I've asked people, and no one has found this unknown virus in the blood—"

"Did you get people to ask? You went to consult other virus experts? How did you ask? Did you talk to the boss?"

Catherine's cold cheeks instantly turned a little colder and asked, Augustus glanced at her and said, "This, I haven't told Zheng about this-"

"Then you're exposing our research—"

Catherine subconsciously spoke, Augustus had already frowned and looked at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man raised his chin: "We will talk to Dr. Zheng, of course, if you can contact him, it's not too late to talk to him now." ”

"Good!"

After glancing at a few people again, Catherine turned around and ran away with small steps, but Augustus, who was left, sighed and said, "Andrei, did you hear what the doctor said before?"

"Hear me, father, what do you ask?"

Andre, who was full of apprehension, opened his mouth and asked a little blindly, Augustus had already looked at the middle-aged man next to him, his wife and his two daughters, and said with a cigar in a dissatisfied tone: "This virus is to rule out the conventional way of infection, that is to say, kissing and X contact and blood contact infection, what did you do during that period three months ago?!"

"Three months ago—"

As if recalling the situation at that time, Andre's fair cheeks twitched twice, and then subconsciously looked at the woman next to him, and heard Augustus speak again: "Liana, you take Annie and them out for a bite to eat—"

"Okay—"

Liana glanced at Andrei and left with her two daughters, Augustus then looked at the middle-aged man: "You go and arrange to get off the plane, and when Liana and they finish eating, we will go back to New York-"

"Okay. ”

The middle-aged man turned around and left with a solemn face, Augustus saw that only he and Andrei were left in the office, and he took a cigar and said to him: "Now make a list of the messes you have outside, and the people who have injected you with mess-"

"Dad, maybe it's okay—"

Andrei's brows furrowed and his face was full of displeasure, Augustus stared at him without opening his mouth, and soon Andrei honestly opened his mouth and reported the names of people outside, Augustus was able to spare him and took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote down the names one by one.

It's just that as he finished remembering one familiar or unfamiliar name after another, Augustus also found that Andrei's face was full of desire to speak, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "Andrei, if you deceive me this time, don't blame me for sending you back to your hometown to study in a boys' school-"

"Dad, I didn't lie to you. ”

Andre looked stunned and quickly spoke, Augustus nodded and put away the notebook, stood up and took Andre to the fast food restaurant below to find Liana mother and daughter who were eating, and then let the middle-aged man who came over after the arrangement pack on the plane, and with him eating a simple fast food on the plane, the plane has landed at the New York airport.

"You guys go home first, I'll go see Zheng. ”

Augustus watched Andrei and his wife and daughter get into the car and drive away, he also took the middle-aged man to the car, and sat in the back seat sullenly, until then the middle-aged man had a chance to speak: "Boss, Andrei-"

"I've got a list, you can check it out tomorrow. ”

As if remembering something, Augustus took out a small notebook from his pocket, tore out the list recorded in it, handed it to the middle-aged man, and listened to him speak: "Boss, you this time-"

"When I took Zheng to see Anthony today, he found a purple scar on the neck of Anthony's girlfriend Delia, and you didn't see the look on his face when he talked to me about this purple scar after Anthony and the two left, it was a mixture of shock and pity—pity! He had never shown this kind of expression when he talked about cancer caused by Helicobacter pylori before. ”

Augustus frowned and said the reaction of Zheng Jianguo he saw today, but at this moment, he still didn't expect that when Zheng Jianguo heard the positive news, an unbelievable shock instantly appeared on his originally reddish cheeks: "Really diagnosed?"

"If the result is positive, it should be confirmed?"

Augustus's brows instantly twisted into a pimple, and he felt a look of pity in Zheng Jianguo's eyes again, and immediately spoke: "This disease, the virus, is it terrible?"

"Well, let's go up and talk, go to my room. ”

After signaling to Fiona and Esther next to him, Zheng Jianguo took the two women, Augustus and the middle-aged man into the elevator, and didn't want to hear Fiona speak: "Jianguo, what kind of virus is the virus you are talking about?"

"Putting aside the relationship between the two of us, this is confidential to people outside of Massachusetts General Hospital, so I can't tell you~"

didn't notice that Augustus's face fell, Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth and warned Fiona half-truthfully, fortunately, between the two, to be precise, in this small half a day, his relationship with Fiona and Esther seemed to have undergone some qualitative change, and Fiona's attitude towards him at this time was also very different: "If you don't say it, you won't say it-"

Separated from the two women at the door of the room in 9023, Zheng Jianguo took Augustus and the middle-aged man into his room, and without pouring water for the two, he closed the door and said: "First of all, what I want to say is about this virus infection formula, considering that only blood transmission has not been ruled out now, and blood transmission is currently in addition to medical blood transfusion, that is, with the help of a unique injection that shares a needle.

I think if it's really blood-borne, then there's also mucosal rupture from contact between people, between men and women, between men and men, women and women — sorry, women and women don't infect each other. ”
