"Zheng, this is Dr. Palmer—"

Soon after the first meeting, after dealing with a wave of French gastroenterologists with bright smiles, Zheng Jianguo heard Caphorene's voice next to him, and then turned around with a smile on his face, but saw that Palmo's bearded face was mixed with complex old cheeks, but fortunately, after a half-day meeting, there were many people who came to meet him, so he said with a smile: "Hello, Doctor Palmer." ”

"Zheng, I'm here to congratulate you, congratulations on finally finding it. ”

Palmer's voice was low when he spoke, and a pair of eyes looked at Caphora and said, "Director Caphora, can you give me and Dr. Zheng a little personal time?"

"Of course—"

Glancing at Zheng Jianguo, Caphoran walked away with a smile on his face, leaving Zheng Jianguo, who was vigilant in his heart, to face the old doctor who should obviously have retired: "Thank you, Dr. Palmer." ”

"You're lucky, Zheng, you live in the Republic and don't have to deal with those people—"

Looking left and right vigilantly, Palmer turned his head and looked at Zheng Jianguo and said, Zheng Jianguo quickly understood what this person was talking about: "You are the Palmer · ED？”

"Yes, you know me?"

Parmo's pale brows were raised, but Zheng Jianguo smiled: "You are so famous, when I was at this time before last, it should have been in early May 1978, my teacher, Professor Ye Minde, once used your research to persuade me not to waste my efforts, why didn't you conduct your own research in private?"

"Aren't you angry? I've heard that you're a person who can't see anyone cheating or being flawed in their studies—"

Palmer shrugged his shoulders, a look of curiosity flashed on his old cheeks, looked at Zheng Jianguo's young cheeks, and continued to speak: "You won't have a tape recorder on you, will you?"

"Oh, no, Dr. Palmer, I don't have a tape recorder on me. ”

The probe made a gesture on his short-sleeved shirt, Zheng Jianguo shook his head and said with a smile on his face, those people in this mouth are probably the representatives of inhibitors, in Parmo's time, people blamed the cause of stomach ulcers on too much spicy food and too much pressure? It is thought that inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid can reduce the effects of gastric ulcers.

If you look at this matter with a conspiracy eye? Of course, Zheng Jianguo can nail Palmer to the pillar of shame, let him be ruined, and he can also hit those pharmaceutical companies by the way, but doing so will only harm others and himself? He is now an authority in the field of gastroenterology and graphene? Authoritative through the analysis of tens of thousands of cases? It's not at all comparable to the Palmer of the year.

Although Palmer is dying, those pharmaceutical companies are living more nourishingly? Zheng Jianguo has to plan the rhythm of a pharmaceutical factory at this time, so at this juncture, he will provoke others? It is not the work of a wise man.

As for those patients who have suffered from stomach cancer due to a lack of proper understanding of stomach problems over the years, compared to this, there was still a commotion to make radium into oral liquid and chocolate for consumption.

Zheng Jianguo shook his head: "You made the most beneficial choice for you, how much money did they spend to convince you?"

"$100,000, they gave me $100,000. ”

Finding that Zheng Jianguo didn't have any surprise or surprise, Parmo couldn't help but look suspicious: "They went to the Republic to look for you?"

"No, if you find me and give me $100,000? I would also accept this condition. ”

Zheng Jianguo thought about the 100,000 dollars in the sixties, and he knew why Parmo was moved? What's more, this old man was still dragging his family back then? For such a sum of money must be urgently needed: "But there is no one to look for me-"

"You're an interesting Republican? Very different from what I've been exposed to? You don't have the care they have, thank you for correcting my mistakes, Zheng, know you can be so upright? I was relieved. ”

Palmer said and poked out his palm like pine bark, Zheng Jianguo shook it with a smile, and then watched the old man turn around and leave, and Esther's figure soon appeared next to him: "What did he say to you?"

"He's Palmo Brown. ED, the expert who used 1180 cases to deny the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach that year. ”

Zheng Jianguo turned his head as he spoke, and saw Esther's eyes widen instantly, and then he shrugged his shoulders casually and said, "He is here to thank me, thank me for correcting his mistakes, and allowing countless patients with stomach problems to get correct and scientific treatment." ”

"You're so great—"

A strange look flashed in his pale blue eyes, and Esther looked to the side after saying it with admiration: "Anthony is here—"

"Anthony—"

Only then was she flattered by the adoring Esther, Zheng Jianguo followed her gaze, then glanced at the watch on her wrist, and said, "Are you going back to the hotel for dinner or do you solve it yourself?"

"Hotel, doesn't it cost you money to solve it yourself?

Esther subconsciously shook her head and said, but she didn't expect Fiona's figure to appear in front of Anthony, and she took a few steps to the two of them and said, "What, I heard that Zheng you have a treat for lunch?"

"Zheng, I have something to look for you-"

As Fiona's voice fell, Anthony's voice followed his figure in front of the three, and Esther was the first to speak, "Then I'll come back to you later." ”

"Well, Esther, wait for me. ”

Turning her head to look at Anthony, whose face was tired and his eyes were bloodshot, Fiona quickly chased Esther's figure away, leaving Zheng Jianguo to look at Anthony and say, "Your ex-wife turned out to be out?"

"It's out, the good news is that my daughter is negative, she's fine. ”

Anthony touched his nose and looked left and right, and his voice was low: "But my ex-wife is in a similar condition to Delia now, she has a fever for a few months, swollen lymph nodes on her body, coughing, she has lost 30 pounds during this time, and the doctor doesn't know what disease she has-"

"Anthony, I don't know what it is. ”

Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth solemnly, thinking that he was too naïve to think yesterday, thinking that Delia was HIV-infected, but he didn't want someone to be an HIV patient directly, and what made him even more unexpected was that Anthony, who seemed to be fine, should be the one who caused Delia and his early infection: "Because I'm still researching-"

"We've decided to set up a lab—"

Anthony took a heavy breath, and Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you going to vote for me in that lab?"

"They decided to vote for the NIH, and you're a public-facing hospital after all. ”

Anthony shook his head and said to Zheng Jianguo, then touched his nose and said, "Augustus said that I hope you can understand us, and we will see you later." ”

"See you later. ”

Nodding his head and seeing Anthony's back disappear, Zheng Jianguo felt a black shadow flash in the corner of his eye, and Ye Minde, who was full of spring light, appeared next to him: "Jianguo, can we go back to the hotel?"

"Let's go, go back to the hotel, there's a free lunch over there." ”

Zheng Jianguo nodded and swept Tao Ye and Yi Jinzhi beside the old man, but he didn't expect Esther and Fiona to appear next to him again, and after looking at Ye Minde and the four of them, he said in English: "There is bad news over there again?"

"Yes, there are competitors now, Anthony and they are going to throw money into the NIH, because Massachusetts General Hospital is a hospital facing the public, and their identity is more sensitive, and it will be a big trouble to spread it. ”

Zheng Jianguo glanced at the two girls and said in English, then looked left and right as if he remembered something, and found that there was no one he was looking for, and then said, "Director Amy, have you seen it?"

"The director has gone back, do you have something to do with her?"

Esther spoke, Zheng Jianguo nodded and walked two steps, and then remembered something and said to Fiona: "The case I told you about is quite special, I feel that the two of us can join forces to face the competition of NIH, do you think my suggestion will work in your clinic?"

"I think it's okay, as long as you are in charge of leading this laboratory, I also communicated with Professor Walton when Jin Tian had a meeting in the morning, and he thinks that since you already have first-hand information, you should publish this information as soon as possible to achieve the purpose of taking the lead.

It can also form a central effect like Throttle Pylori, so that relevant laboratories around the world can pay attention and follow up, but this will cause NIH to cut off most of the results with the advantage of resources and personnel, just like the Mayo Clinic took a picture of Helicobacter pylori before you. ”

In the face of Zheng Jianguo's thoughts, Fiona also did not reserve what she knew, after all, everyone has now become a possible alliance from a potential competitor to deal with the competitive pressure from the NIH.

The NIH, or National Research and Health Institute, has the world's best equipment and staffing, as well as near-limitless funding—direct funding from Congress.

Zheng Jianguo never thought that he would have to compete directly with the NIH so quickly, so he really wanted to join the Mayo Clinic to face and share this pressure together: "If the Mayo Clinic agrees, I will let the hospital officially initiate a cooperation agreement, of course, the premise is to sign a formal agreement——"

"Of course that's fine, you can provide the strain, right?"

Fiona, as a top student, certainly knows where this research is focused: "Where are you going?"

"I want Mayo to take pictures of this virus, and your technology in taking pictures of virus germs is top-notch anyway. ”

Zheng Jianguo sighed slightly and said, Fiona immediately smiled: "Didn't you see it, you are still such a small belly?"

"Hmph, that's just you. ”

Zheng Jianguo glanced at Fiona, who was smiling brightly, but as a few people arrived at the door of the conference center and looked at the stairs, he also remembered a question: "I won't participate in this meeting, anyway, I have said it in the morning, and let Caphora and Walton show off the rest of the time." ”

"I'm also thinking about this question, if Anthony and they go to the NIH to tell you about your suggestion, if the NIH preemptively sends out this paper, your previous research will be in vain, and besides, you don't have patients yet, right?"

The smile on her face faded, and Fiona also followed Zheng Jianguo's words, and then the two glanced at each other, and Esther next to her had already spoken: "Boss, you should contact the lady yesterday-"

"Delia's father is an Prudential administrator, and the chances of her going to Massachusetts General Hospital are close to zero because the disease is transmitted in a relatively special way. ”

Shaking his head slowly, Zheng Jianguo of course has considered the fact that he has no cases in his hands now, the Jacqueline brothers and sisters can only be regarded as carriers now, and the known HIV patients so far are all Anthony's women, but this thing has just said that he wants to go to the NIH: "The health of these people with status is also related to the big and small market." ”

"Then we can only wait while researching, if Mayo takes pictures here, what are you doing over there?"

Of course, Fiona knew that the health of those people in the upper echelons was almost linked to the economy, finance and industry, so she subconsciously spoke, Zheng Jianguo glanced at her silently and said: "This, wait until you sign an agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital, right?"

"That's fine. ”

Fiona nodded and looked at Ye Minde and the others next to her, followed Zheng Jianguo's footsteps out of the conference center and went down the stairs and said, "If I get the authorization, I will go to the Massachusetts General Hospital with you, how do you feel?"

"I feel like — yes. ”

Silently looked at Fiona's pointful smile again, Zheng Jianguo couldn't bear to refuse, and soon found two taxis on the side of the road to go up, and then said to Ye Minde in the back seat: "Teacher, I plan to go back to Boston in the afternoon, you will stay and attend the meeting according to the original plan, and then go directly to Boston after tomorrow afternoon, and pay attention to keep your passports, if the director wants it, just say that it is at the organizing committee of the conference." ”

"Okay, you can arrange it, I heard the virus you just said or something?

Ye Minde's English has almost recovered, and Zheng Jianguo didn't avoid him when he said those words before, but after hearing it, he looked at the driver next to him with his ears pricked up, and judged that this white tooth brother should not understand Mandarin, but out of caution, he still said in Mandarin: "Hello, Mr. Driver?"

“？？？”

When Ye Minde's face was full of curiosity, Zheng Jianguo had already turned his head and said: "I found an unknown virus by chance here, which has been lurking in people for more than three years, and the few people who came last night also carried this virus in their bodies, and what I said on behalf of Massachusetts General Hospital and Mayo Clinic Fiona was this virus——"

"By chance, an unknown virus was discovered?"

This thought flashed through his mind, but Ye Minde's face changed: "The virus that has been dormant for so long, has the infection method been confirmed?"

Silently glancing at Tao Ye and Yi Jinzhi next to the old man, Zheng Jianguo spoke: "Blood transmission, just like the hepatitis B virus." ”

"That's about the same as hepatitis B—"

Ye Minde's voice came, and Zheng Jianguo nodded: "At present, this is the case, suspected contact with bodily fluids can also be contagious, and the couple last night was infected like this." ”

Speaking of hepatitis B, Zheng Jianguo remembered that he hadn't discovered hepatitis E yet, but considering that he had enough things in his hands now, he threw this idea away in an instant, and after returning to the hotel and having dinner, he also found Amy and told him about it.

Of course, Amy knew what Zheng Jianguo's unknown virus laboratory was doing, but after all, she was about to run away from the meeting now, and she was not very happy: "If you write an article, you can also write it here, you don't have anything to do in the afternoon meeting, you can write it during the meeting, and you will go back after the meeting tomorrow morning, and then fill in the data, won't it be over?"

"Well, it's mainly about working with Mayo with the hospital, and I've asked Fiona to ask Walton. ”

Blinking in embarrassment, Zheng Jianguo finally chose to tell the matter, Amy is only the director of the digestive center, but what his unknown virus laboratory studies is some overlapping infectious disease research: "Judging from the data currently available, the contagiousness of this disease is relatively hidden, and it is spread between couples and couples, which has a greater impact on humanity——"

"Well, now that you've insisted. ”

Amy looked at Zheng Jianguo and continued to convince herself, so she agreed: "Caphora and Walton, you go and report, don't forget the group of people from your country, and you haven't sent reporters and film crews from China?"

"Not really, I just noticed when you said it. ”

Tilting his head and thinking about it, Zheng Jianguo also spoke, and Amy didn't know what to think of, and waved his hand to drive him away: "Then I wish you an early publication of your article." ”

"Hehe, borrow your auspicious words. ”

Instantly threw the idea that the reporter didn't come out of his mind, Zheng Jianguo didn't know what was going on until he returned to Boston in the afternoon, and when he saw Zhao Liangliang in the evening: "As far as I know, I originally wanted to send someone to follow up and report, but the ministry said that the meeting was too long, and the translator couldn't be dispatched - I want to say that you members of the Gastroenterology Society can do translation yourself, you don't think your brother is provoking, right?"

"Still provoking? I don't know what level my teacher is? My thesis was written under the guidance of his old man. ”

Of course, Zheng Jianguo knew that Zhao Liangliang was provoking, but he couldn't stand this matter in the first place, someone could make him provoke it, this could be Director Jin or who, or it could be Cui Mi, who replaced Zhao Liangliang, but in his opinion, this is all a trivial matter, just know who will write it down afterwards, and always have to retaliate if there is a chance: "You can help me inquire about this matter, this is obviously coming at me." ”

"Maybe they're just doing business?"

Next to her, Yang Na, who was peeling the apple, didn't look back, Zheng Jianguo quickly gave Zhao Liangliang a look, and changed his words: "Yang Na, what did Brother Zhao say about the examination results of his daughter-in-law?"

"The ampulla of the fallopian tubes on both sides is blocked, and I have already found someone to arrange for a dredging operation, so there should be no major problem. ”

Handing out the apple in her hand, Yang Na glanced at Zheng Jianguo as she spoke, Zheng Jianguo also knew that this matter was only suitable to ask her: "Sister Fan is the most familiar here, before and after the operation, let's see if I can let her help find a companion——"

"No, no escort, I'll do it. ”

Zhao Liangliang quickly waved his hand and said, Zheng Jianguo also smiled and said: "This matter is still specialized in the art industry, and there is a temporary doctor's prescription for medicine, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it." ”

"Then listen to you, we'll go back to the hotel if you're okay. ”

Zhao Liangliang said and greeted Zhu Jinghong next to him, and Zhu Jinghong also stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and see." ”

"You two walk slowly—"

Putting down the apple and sending the two out of the door, Zheng Jianguo watched until the two turned the street and returned to the house, but Yang Na had already spoken: "Why did you come back early?"

"Something, to be exact. ”

After Zheng Jianguo got off the plane, he took Esther and Fiona directly to the hospital, communicated with the dean Val and obtained approval, and then let Astor take Fiona to the unknown virus laboratory, and he ran back home to write articles, of course, he didn't expect Zhao Liangliang to take Zhu Jinghong to be there: "I met a few patients infected with unknown viruses." ”

"Is the patient sick?"

Yang Na also had a general impression of Zheng Jianguo's unknown virus laboratory, after all, Valerie's false accusation incident had such a big impact before, so the agreement between Zheng Jianguo and Jacqueline did not hide it from her, so that when she heard his statement, she instantly captured the key words in this sentence: "Patients over in New York?"

"Yes, the patients over there in New York, the fourth sister, they went out?"

Returned to the house and looked upstairs There was no movement, Zheng Jianguo picked up the previous apple and took a big bite of it, Yang Na had already nodded and said: "Take Aunt Fan and them to the supermarket, you only left before you came, a woman called you last night, and I left a message before I could pick her up, saying that I wanted to report my experience to you——"

"Report your thoughts?"

Zheng Jianguo glanced at Yang Na directly, and found that the other party was full of smiles, so he laughed: "It's Li Nanying, right?"

"Hmph, Zheng Jianguo, it's just an assistant to the two girls in your laboratory, look at your side, Li Nanying looks like she is pretending to be tall with Catherine, do you like such a woman?"

Inexplicably, the smile in Yang Na's eyes disappeared, and she looked at Zheng Jianguo with a cold face and said, Zheng Jianguo was also confused by her words: "You went to see Catherine?"

"See, the meeting you supposedly took Esther to attend?"

Yang Na said and walked in front of Zheng Jianguo, her eyes swept over his collar and shoulders, and her nose fanned twice rapidly, as if she nodded with satisfaction: "Well, there is no lipstick, no kiss marks, no blonde hair, and the shirt has not changed-"

"You-"

Zheng Jianguo showed a wry smile and before he could speak, Yang Na had already dragged his tie and walked towards the house: "Let me check if there is -"

"The door, the door is not locked, my sister is not looking good when they come, you are in broad daylight-"

Turning his head to look at the door that was just closed, Zheng Jianguo hurriedly reminded him, not wanting Yang Na to be like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, swept his expression up and down, and hurriedly reached into his clothes: "No, I have to check it." ”

"Do you feel threatened?"

Feeling the hand that was talking into the clothes, Zheng Jianguo didn't refuse her, but he was extremely glad that he didn't leave the cherry in his heart, but of course he didn't stop: "Do you feel that Catherine will threaten you?"

"Catherine—do you know what it means to be pure?"

As if she had been said to be in her mind, Yang Na said two more words, let go of Zheng Jianguo and took two steps back, glanced at him and said: "Zheng Jianguo, I still say the same thing, if you make other women's bellies bigger, I will castrate you, you remember it for me." ”

"Is this the last few days of the month? Or did she entertain others too much in the past two days, and she felt a sense of loss that she was neglected?"

Blinking at Yang Na's ruthless appearance, Zheng Jianguo's mind flashed two years before he took two steps forward and took her hand, and said: "You have thought too much about this, like me, you can rest assured, your man's vision is very high-oh, you are eating Camille's vinegar?"

"Why, I'm talking about Catherine, Catherine's kind of conquest that arouses men's desire to conquer the most, and she has a joint training qualification that I didn't even get, and she also has a BA in RAD Classical Ballet-"

Yang Na quickly said Catherine's information, as if she was denying Zheng Jianguo's accusations, but in Zheng Jianguo's eyes, she felt more and more that she was really eating Camille's vinegar: "The word Serena is a woman who radiates a shining light, so it became Selene's name——"

"Well, the name Yang Na is too frustrating, although it has the meaning of feminine posture. ”

Suddenly, Yang Na regained her calm after hearing the explanation of her original name, silently watched Zheng Jianguo criticize her Chinese name, and then glanced at Zheng Jianguo and said: "Jianguo, do you know that there is no real friendship between men and women? I mean the kind of friends, not for the sake of love and not asking for anything in return." ”

"Well, I don't know much about feelings, you know I'm not educated. ”

Remembering that Yang Na's major in college was classical literature, Zheng Jianguo also remembered what she said about Catherine's major before, and he had an unbelievable understanding in his heart, RAD's full name is the Royal British Academy of Dance, and Catherine still likes to eat so much when she has a bachelor's degree - maybe it's because she went on a diet for dancing before that she likes to eat now?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

Thinking that her words had hit Zheng Jianguo's self-esteem, Yang Na quickly grabbed his hand and began to apologize, but remembered that this thing was specially recruited to Harvard Medical School as a graduate student of Qi Provincial Medical College.

If it weren't for the fact that she had enough understanding of that motherland in the past two years, Yang Na would not have been able to imagine that the gold content of high Chinese would be as low as that: "I apologize to you, I ate the vinegar of the Eighth World Miracle, and you haven't praised me so much——"

“——”

Rao guessed Yang Na's abnormal performance, and there were more important papers to write, Zheng Jianguo could only choose to temporarily put everything down at this time to appease this sister who had a strong sense of crisis: "Whether it's Catherine or Camille, Serena, you remember, I'm a traditional republican, do you think I will like a woman taller than me? Even in Europe and the United States, few men will like a woman taller than themselves, right?"

"yes, really?"

As if reminded by Zheng Jianguo, Yang Na suddenly stared at him with a sudden look on her face, and Zheng Jianguo nodded and said: "You know, turn on the TV and see, among the male and female stars who advertise, which pair is not a woman and is about ten centimeters shorter than a man?"

"Seems to make some sense?"

Yang Na had a few pictures in her mind, and Zheng Jianguo knew that this level was over: "Moreover, Camille is still a child, when you were 15 years old, do you remember the person you liked when you were 15 years old?"

"No, I don't have anyone I like, Zheng Jianguo, are you tricking me?"

Yang Na shook her head suddenly, and after a cold look appeared on her pretty face, she saw Zheng Jianguo speak: "I'm a metaphor, I didn't think about liking it or not when I was 15 years old, I was looking for study materials for the exam." ”

"I was also studying, and I didn't seem to have much of an impression of other boys at the time—"

Yang Na's complexion slowly recovered, but Zheng Jianguo didn't dare to continue to make analogies at this time, and then when he wanted to reach out and touch her shoulder to comfort her, he didn't expect the phone to ring, so he patted her arm and picked it up in front of the phone, and said, "Hello, who is it?"

"Jianguo, I'm Tian Mi, won't you go out for the next two days?

The voice in the microphone came, Zheng Jianguo heard who this person was at the first moment, and immediately smiled: "Hello, Tian Mi, I won't go out in the past two days, you are welcome to come to my house to sit." ”

"Hehe, then it's decided, I'll probably come to your house tomorrow afternoon, let's talk about it, see you tomorrow afternoon." ”

The gentle voice on the phone said with a smile, Zheng Jianguo also hung up the phone, but before he turned to leave, the phone that he put down rang again, and as he returned and picked up the phone, a familiar voice came: "Zheng, are you back to Boston?"

"Ah, yes, I have something to do, I didn't attend the afternoon meeting and came back, I'm sorry Jin Tian can't be a guest at your house-"

Camille's voice was in his ears, Zheng Jianguo listened to it well, and he stumbled over it, so he felt a substantial gaze on his back, and his eyes lit up in his mind: "That, I'll go to New York again in a while - I'll take my girlfriend to visit your house then, please tell Ms. Taylor, I'm really sorry for missing the appointment this time." ”

"Oh, since you didn't even attend the meeting, then I forgive you for missing the appointment this time, and you and your girlfriend are welcome to come to my house as guests, I won't bother you this time, see you next time. ”

Camille's crisp voice disappeared, Zheng Jianguo put down the phone in his hand, then turned his head to look at Yang Na, who was looking at him silently, reached out and took out the address book in his pocket, smiled at her embarrassedly and said: "That, you mentioned, Li Lijun's concert seems to be held on the 20th, but I have to ask her for tickets in advance-"

"You promised her to attend the concert?"

Yang Na arrived at the phone and saw that Zheng Jianguo couldn't find the contact information from the address book, and then opened the wallet to look at it, and then found a business card, and saw Zheng Jianguo nodding and said: "Yes, I heard you talk about her that time, and I got the business card after meeting her in the airport once." ”
