Chapter 359: You Can't Use Me Anyway
Yang Na blinked her delicate eyelids, and her eyes became a little bright: "The business card you asked me for?
"Yes, yes, I came into contact with her to promote traditional culture—"
In an instant, the sweat on Zheng Jianguo's face fell, and he nodded with a smile and dialed the number, but fortunately, the phone was answered quickly: "Hello, I'm Li Lijun-"
"Hello, I'm Zheng Jianguo—"
Subconsciously opened his mouth to report to the door, and he didn't want Zheng Jianguo to hear Li Lijun in the microphone continue in the same tone as before: "I'm not at home now, please leave a message after the drop, I'll be in- Hello, Dr. Zheng, I'm Li Lijun, I'm back now." ”
"Oh, I mean, if you give me an extra ticket for that concert, my girlfriend will come by then. ”
Knowing that this was the other party picking it up, Zheng Jianguo quickly said it a little deliberately, and Li Lijun on the phone immediately smiled: "This is no problem, but I still hope you can confirm how many tickets you need, there are still many friends here." ”
"Two of them, just me and my girlfriend. ”
Saying that, he looked at Yang Na next to him, Zheng Jianguo only woke up to the fact that the two had not gone out on a date together, but he didn't expect Li Lijun to give him a problem: "Doctor Zheng, I'm honored that your girlfriend can come, but I don't know if you can invite Camille to come over, I see that your concern is very good." ”
"But we have a normal relationship, right?"
Such an idea flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo covered the microphone and looked at Yang Na next to him, and quickly said: "Li Lijun also invited Camille-"
"Is she looking for a topic for herself?"
Regarding Zheng Jianguo and Camille, Yang Na had already heard him say that the two were using each other, so that the media would have enough topics to increase the exposure of the two, so she gave him a roll of his eyes and turned away: "That's whatever you want." ”
"Then I'll say yes—"
Knowing that Yang Na was expressing dissatisfaction, Zheng Jianguo shouted at her back, and then said into the phone: "Miss Li, I need to ask Camille's opinion on this invitation before I can reply to you, because she is still a minor, I hope you can understand." ”
"Of course, thank you, Dr. Zheng, I will get the ticket to you as soon as possible. ”
Li Lijun's magnetic voice disappeared, Zheng Jianguo put down the phone in his hand, turned his head to see that he didn't find Yang Na's shadow, thought about it, and continued to pick up the phone and dial Camille.
Li Lijun can ask him to invite on his behalf, which can be regarded as squeezing into the two who were already rubbing the heat, thus becoming the three of them rubbing each other's heat, of course, with the current limelight of him and Camille, Li Lijun can be regarded as taking a big advantage.
"Is Miss Miracle here?"
As if Yang Na was not around, Zheng Jianguo blurted out after the other party's phone was picked up, and then Camille in the microphone laughed: "Zheng, do you miss me?"
"Oh, Camille—"
Hearing that the other party's voice was a little wrong, Zheng Jianguo immediately put away his previous frivolity, and thought in his heart that the other party was still underage, so he spoke: "I said before, I will go to New York on the 20th, in fact, I am going to attend a friend's concert, she is a Chinese star, but just now when she was communicating, she wanted me to invite you to go with her on her behalf, I wonder if you will have time then?
"Zheng, call me Christa, Ms. Taylor, you want to ask, is now negotiating terms with the advertiser, and she will be busy after getting up today, so I'm afraid I won't have time to answer your call now, but I can call the shots, you can pick me up then, let's go over secretly to participate, and then leave secretly?"
Camille's voice was a little relaxed and witty, which made Zheng Jianguo reconfirm that her mother and agent Taylor was not around, so he followed her words: "This is no problem, as long as Ms. Taylor agrees, Camille-Christa, you know that the girl who framed me is also 15 years old, right?"
"Okay, I see, I'll talk to her about it when Ms. Taylor finishes talking about my commercial, but she shouldn't object, after all, I'm going out with you-"
Camille's voice was mixed with a faint sense of powerlessness, but Zheng Jianguo didn't talk to her on this topic, thinking about how he was carefree and lazy when he was 15 years old in his last life, so he put down the phone after saying a few more words, if Taylor didn't agree, then he would call him back.
After arranging all the important things at hand, and the rest of the HIV essay had not yet been written, Zheng Jianguo went to the basement and opened the safe, took out the information about the unknown virus, and returned to the bedroom to pick up a pen and write: "The mysterious ghost in the blood-"
For this paper, although Zheng Jianguo has never written a draft, but as a medical scientist who has many blockbuster papers and has read many manuscripts, he has long had a general direction in his mind, that is, to continue to focus on his keen observations.
Because Zheng Jianguo has only two infected people in his hands, Anthony made it clear that he would not choose him for the sake of privacy and security, so Augustus must have made the same choice for the same reason.
So even if it is confirmed that HIV has spread among the upper echelons of New York, Zheng Jianguo's paper can only write about Barry Bougton and Jacqueline Boton, a brother and sister, and the identities of the two cannot be released.
Without the support of data, Zheng Jianguo's article can only focus on storytelling, that is, to complete this paper with a technique similar to using logical reasoning to tell a story, so when he put down his pen, Yang Na had already pushed open the bedroom door and said, "It's time to eat, everyone is waiting for you——"
"Oh, okay. ”
Putting down the pen and looking at the two pages of manuscript paper, Zheng Jianguo took the pen and signed his name on the first author of the final paper, and the second author filled in Bertha and Catherine, thought about the members of the research team, and finally added it to it, he knew that due to their different expectations, no one would not want their name to appear in the article of a top journal.
Especially this article, which is destined to detonate global attention.
It's just that Zheng Jianguo also knows that the inconspicuousness of this article is afraid that it will not even pass the preliminary review of "Nature" and "Science", and even if he conceals his name and votes for the second-level "Lancet" and "New England Medicine" or "American Medicine", I am afraid that he will end up rejecting the manuscript.
Then only "Cell" remains?
Zheng Jianguo quickly folded the article and put it in the envelope and picked it up, looked at the gold watch in his hand, and went to the living room to stand up at the table Fan Ping, Zheng Donghua and others, and made a gesture and said: "Aunt Fan, you don't have to wait for me, I still have to make a call——"
"Aunt Fan, Fourth Sister, let's eat first, don't wait for him. ”
When Yang Na beckoned Fan Ping and Zheng Donghua to sit down, Zheng Jianguo had already dialed the number next to the phone, and soon with a Valentine's voice on the other side, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Valentine, I have an article here that I am in a hurry to send out, you arrange for someone to come to my house to get it, it is best to send it out next month——"
"Zheng, don't you have to show it to others?"
Valentine's voice on the phone was a little hesitant, since the "Cell" magazine set up his own publishing house three months ago, Zheng Jianguo has given abundant financial support in the past two months, but this seems to him to be missing something: "Is it the latest research on Helicobacter pylori?"
"It's not this, it's infectious disease research, I don't think anyone can review this article, it's useless for you to show it to other people, it's a new unknown virus, you know after reading my article. ”
Unlike the heads of other publishing houses, who are more administrative, Valentine is still more familiar with the latest information on biology academics, and Zheng Jianguo directly said it in words that are close to arrogance, and Valentin immediately said: "I'll come to you right away." ”
"Well, that's right—"
Looking at the busy tone on the phone, Zheng Jianguo put it down and sat down at the table, and Yang Na next to him opened her mouth: "Go wash your hands-"
"Well, okay. ”
Remembering that this rule was still set by himself, Zheng Jianguo honestly got up to wash his hands and came back, Yang Na had already served him a meal and returned to his place to eat, looking at Zheng Jianguo after sitting down, he picked up chopsticks and ate silently, and said with a question mark on his face: "Where is your unknown virus research?"
"Based on the latest data, this thing should have entered a concentrated outbreak period, let's eat, let's talk about it after eating, I said that I ruined your appetite. ”
Zheng Jianguo tilted his head and put a piece of pork ribs into the bowl, and then saw that there was not much rice in Fan Ping's bowl opposite, so he said, "Aunt Fan, don't you have a bad appetite?"
"Didn't you say eat less in the evening?"
Before Yang Na could speak, Zheng Donghua said first, Zheng Jianguo nodded with a smile and said: "This is different from person to person, eating less is a quarter of the reduction, how have you learned recently?"
"It's just a stab at the cantilever—"
Zheng Donghua said with a somewhat unnatural face, Zheng Jianguo didn't need to think much to know that he had been hit, but fortunately, as a person who came over, he also knew how to explain a few people: "The process of learning is actually a process of perseverance, except for a small number of talented and intelligent people, for ordinary people, it is more of a test of perseverance."
When winter comes, facing the hot bedding and getting up early to learn more, people with weak willpower will lose points in this area, and then study one hour less a day, which is more than 1,000 hours in four years.
And the final performance gap is slowly opened in daily life, and this is not a simple accumulation, but has a ladder increasing effect, now the basic knowledge is solid, and there is no need to find time to make up for this shortcoming in the future. ”
"[5200 www.bqg5200.biz] Well, I understand that, Yang Na told us about your learning experience at that time—"
Zheng Donghua looked at Yang Na as she spoke, Zheng Jianguo nodded silently, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and said, "Let's eat, let's eat, you can go to study." ”
"Huh-"
Zheng Donghua smiled twice, and Zheng Jianguo swept past the others, and for a while, there was a movement of eating on the table.
And Zheng Jianguo considered that Valentine was likely to come soon, so he drank a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup after eating a few ribs and chicken legs, and when he put down the bowl, the doorbell rang, and he waved his hand to let everyone eat, and he got up and went to the door with the envelope.
After leaving the house and closing the door, Zheng Jianguo handed over the envelope: "At present, there are not many people who know about this virus, but a few patients choose to go to the NIH for privacy and safety, which is why I want you to send it out as soon as possible." ”
"This is no problem, you can take down a popular science article and put it up, but I want to know if this virus is really no one has found out?"
After looking at the room where Valentine took the envelope, he quickly pulled out the letter from the envelope and looked at it, Zheng Jianguo also said: "Don't worry, with my knowledge of this virus, it can definitely meet your requirements——"
"The time of your card is just right, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the weekends when no one goes to work, I won't say it, you wait for my good news. ”
Valentine swept it at a glance, and then took it into his arms with excitement on his face, Zheng Jianguo followed with a smile: "I just knew your printing time, so I hurriedly chose to run from the venue, according to the original arrangement, I should be in New York to attend the meeting now." ”
"Oh, yes, you should be in that meeting-"
Valentine glanced at Zheng Jianguo in surprise, but remembered that he had run back to let him post this article, so he waved his hand and turned back to his car, and soon disappeared in Zheng Jianguo's eyes.
"Well, it's still really hot—"
Although the sun had set, it was the hottest time in Boston, Zheng Jianguo also turned around and returned to the house, and found that Zheng Donghua, Kou Yang, Luo Lan and Yang Na were gone, leaving Fan Ping with Kou Bin and Li Tie cleaning up the table, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Bin, Li Tie, you two can't fall behind in your studies——"
"Of course, seeing that you are all still studying so hard, we have to work harder. ”
Kou Bin said and laughed, he didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to be so rich, and he was still honestly squatting in the Massachusetts General Hospital to work, and he heard from Zheng Donghua that Yang Na would also go to the ancient castle hospital of Fan Dalin in the future, which subverted his imagination: "Right, Li Tie?"
"Then you must learn, otherwise you will be like a deaf and blind man—"
Li Tie skillfully cleaned up the table with a rag, and then carried the stack of bowls into the kitchen, while Kou Bin put the stool under the table, and Fan Ping's voice came from the kitchen: "Li Tie just put it there, you can also go upstairs to read, just leave it to me here." ”
"Bell bell bell—"
As a ringtone pulled Zheng Jianguo's attention away, he also went to the telephone to pick it up, and heard Augustus's voice coming from the microphone: "Zheng, I have found a few patients here with symptoms that are very similar to Delia, do you want me to send them to you?"
"You're not afraid that their identities will be exposed here?"
When Zheng Jianguo was stunned for a moment, he didn't want Augustus to speak in the microphone: "It's okay if their identities are exposed, I've already warned them, they are a group of homosexuals-men, I feel that you guessed very accurately, Zheng!"
"Well, then send it to me, thank you, Augustus~"
Feeling the disgust that could not be concealed by hundreds of kilometers of telephone lines, Zheng Jianguo also opened his mouth and agreed, of course he knew that this HIV could be said to be made by this group of comrades, if it was not for this group of people to rise to the top, if it was said with the current conservative degree of the relationship between men and women, I am afraid it would take a hundred years to form the scale in his memory.
Of course, this group is more exclusive in Zheng Jianguo's traditional moral concept, after all, as a normal man, when facing Yang Na and Yuna, Esther and even Fiona's teasing, there will only be a sense of vanity satisfaction in the depths of his heart.
It's just that Zheng Jianguo's profession at this time is a doctor, and he is also a doctor with an in-depth understanding of the HIV virus, and it is too late to snicker at HIV patients, and it is really difficult for him to force a female patient to be a strong man.
"Then I'll have someone bring them over to you tomorrow, but these people don't have any money, they just want to find a place to treat the sick for free, and they don't have insurance-"
Augustus's voice then disappeared after a few more words, and Zheng Jianguo put the phone on the telephone, realizing that if he didn't go to the meeting, he would have to go to work in the hospital tomorrow.
The previous agreement with the embassy secretary Tian was also in his mind, so Zheng Jianguo then arranged this matter to Yang Na: "If the embassy comes over, let them go to the Lundalk Hotel to rest first, and I will come back from work in the evening." ”
Tian Mi only came last week, this time it took less than a week to come, Zheng Jianguo didn't guess that he knew that something must be wrong, so he was afraid that a few people would not be able to wait for him in the morning, so he arranged a few people into Fan Ping's room in the Lendoke Hotel, fortunately, the hotel provided a comprehensive service for him, a big customer and celebrity, and naturally would not refuse such a request.
Early the next morning, Zheng Jianguo was called by the alarm clock, and pulled out his hand from Yang Na's white arms and pompousness, and saw that she opened her confused eyes as if she had woken up, and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside with a lazy voice: "It's only 6:10, why do you get up so early?"
"Get up and exercise in the morning, if you have time, you can have someone order a treadmill to come over and put it in the basement, and if it's okay, you can run-"
After thinking about the plan he had made a few days ago, Zheng Jianguo only wanted to get up after he whispered, and he didn't want Yang Na's body to be entangled, and it was already 6:45 after checking the homework again, less than 5 minutes before he got up normally, so he gave up the original plan: "This morning exercise method is not good-"
"What, do you think I'm old?"
Opening her confused eyes, Yang Na raised her head from Zheng Jianguo like an octopus, and pulled up her hair and tied it in a ponytail at the back of her head, but she didn't expect Zheng Jianguo's hand to reach over, and immediately turned over and got out of bed before being caught by him, and dragged her pajamas from the hanger next to her to wrap her beautiful curves: "Aunt Fan, it's time for them to get up, I have to boil the water first-"
"Okay. ”
Speechlessly, watching Yang Na disappear at the door, Zheng Jianguo had to turn over and get up, comb his hair into his back after cleaning up in the bathroom, Yang Na's breakfast was ready: "Bacon sandwich and milk, as well as bacon egg fried rice and mung bean soup, I'll go up and tell them to come down to eat——"
"Well, I'll do it myself, you go and call them. ”
Zheng Jianguo's two-story room has a bathroom, so the people upstairs don't have to go down to line up, which is also a profound lesson he learned in Fan Dailin's house on Beacon Street, when the four sisters washed in the bathroom, they didn't close the door, but he didn't have the courage to go in and take advantage of it with a straight face.
"Jianguo, morning, are you going to work today?"
The first to appear was Roland, wearing a white dress with wet hair to the table, looking at the sandwich and milk placed next to him, and then took a glass of milk and sandwich to himself, Zheng Donghua and Kou Yang appeared when Zheng Jianguo spoke: "I came back to report to the directors and leaders, and I have to go to the hospital if I have some problems, not the MIT side in the arrangement." ”
"Then you slow down on the road, I think it's quite chaotic here. ”
Luo Lan sat at the dining table and said a few words, Zheng Jianguo had already quickly finished eating rice and drank mung bean soup, and when he stood up and smiled at her and Zheng Donghua, Yang Na had already appeared next to a few people, and when he arrived at the telephone, he took it and stuffed it into his pocket and said, "I'm leaving, I may not come back for dinner at noon, so you don't have to wait for me." ”
"Well, take care to eat lunch on time. ”
Yang Na said and sent Zheng Jianguo to the garage, Zheng Jianguo got into the Plymouth car and walked out of the garage, waved his hand and walked away: "I don't know when that group of gay men will come?"
Zheng Jianguo's doubts didn't last long, as he parked his car and arrived at the unknown virus laboratory in the digestive center, he didn't expect that not only Bertha and Catherine were busy, but also Esther and Fiona were also greeting the person transporting the hospital bed: "Boss, are you here? I thought you wouldn't come today-"
"How many people are here?"
Looking left and right, he saw the middle-aged man beside Augustus, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect Augustus to be so resolute, but what he didn't expect was that when Esther reported the number 6, the middle-aged man in the distance had already arrived at his side: "The boss said that the third he wanted has already been subscribed, but considering that the amount of this investment is a bit large, it still needs to be finalized——"
"Well, my side is ready, and Mr. Augustus and the decision over there have nothing to do with my investment intentions, but please send Mr. Augustus my gratitude to these patients on my behalf. ”
Zheng Jianguo blinked, remembering the $2 billion investment intention that was still in his mind, but he didn't expect that Augustus had such a thing at home, and he hadn't forgotten the business arrangement: "How is Andre's condition?"
"Okay, Dr. Zheng, I'll tell the boss, it's just that Andrei's condition is not very good, especially after listening to Delia's current symptoms, my nerves are a little anxious-"
The middle-aged man silently glanced at Zheng Jianguo's expressionless cheeks, recalling that there was no one who could compare to him among the young people he had come into contact with, but he continued without stopping: "The boss said that if the actor candidate is elected now, it will have a certain impact on your investment. ”
"Then I'll go to Britain or France—"
Zheng Jianguo said without thinking about it, and when the middle-aged man's face changed, Zheng Jianguo did not stop: "Considering the Umbrella Group's funding for the participating countries in this conference, there must be many countries that want me to pass, even if the actor candidate becomes president, it will not ignore my authority in the field of gastroenterology and graphene, especially President Carter asked the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's physics laboratory to speed up the research progress - of course, I think the actor candidate will also realize this by then." ”
Regarding the future of the actor president, Zheng Jianguo does not know that this will become one of the greatest presidents of the United States, on the contrary, he also knows that it is this actor president who has not only wonderful performances on stage, but also secretly has a fight with the ninth-rate profession of drama.
On the surface, he dragged the Soviets to carry out Star Wars, but secretly established a connection with Ge Map through the CIA, and promised to draw a cake to break Ge Map's will to resist, of course, Ge Map is still the fifth person.
It's just that in the face of Augustus, a traditional American political elite, Zheng Jianguo did not show his keen "observation" of the actor president, because he still doesn't know which faction Augustus is a supporter of.
After all, if Zheng Jianguo's observation is as keen as ever to judge the actor's president's every move, then no matter which faction Augustus is, he will kill the killer when he says such things.
Just because the actor president is the spokesperson of capital under the rules of American interests!
Zheng Jianguo can make money, that's not a big problem, he can do research, it's not a big problem, but can he judge what the president of the United States is going to do next?
Then there is only one dead end.
It is rare that Zheng Jianguo has a clear understanding and positioning of himself, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man and nodded noncommittally, Catherine at the door of the laboratory had already run over: "We have finished the placement, but their fees are said to be solved by you?"
"Considering that this laboratory is from Massachusetts General Hospital, I communicated with Dean Val before I came, and the expenses of these six people will be covered by the hospital, on the condition that they will donate their bodies to the hospital for research and use after they die, but considering that Director Amy is not there, I can vouch for it-"
Zheng Jianguo smiled and tilted his head and said, whoever pays for the research is the researcher, this is the default in any laboratory in the United States, just like the unit he wrote in yesterday's paper: "The paper on the unknown virus has been sent, so you don't have to worry that the previous research will be wasted——"
"Really?"
The eyes on his face were a little cold, and Zheng Jianguo remembered that Yang Na said that Catherine was a bachelor of classical ballet: "Really, you and Bertha are both second authors, and no one suffers-"
"Huh?"
When Catherine was surprised, Esther had already appeared at the door of the laboratory, and after seeing the two of them, she quickly came to the front: "What should I do next?"
"I guarantee the cost first, let's test them first, and at the same time do a consultation to see if we can do traceability and tracing, and remember not to tell them other people's information. ”
Zheng Jianguo knew that there was not much he could do at this time, and after confirming that the infection of these "mice" was positive, what he could do was to link the HIV virus with the symptoms of several people, but considering that there were only these six people in front of him, it was not easy to establish an infection model with such a low data: "If you want to treat, you should still treat it according to conventional means——"
"Okay—"
As an assistant in the laboratory of the unknown virus, Catherine quickly responded, then turned to look at Esther, and said, "Then you go and tell them." ”
"Oh, okay—"
Esther turned her head and walked away in a daze, Zheng Jianguo glanced at Catherine, who was looking at her back, and said: "Since there is nothing wrong here, then I will go home, if they have the result, just call me, I won't come if it's okay." ”
"Okay, you go slowly. ”
Holding the folder and nodding on her chest, Catherine turned around and went back to the virus laboratory, Zheng Jianguo glanced at the middle-aged man next to him, and thought that everything he had to say was finished, so he waved his hand out of the digestive center, got into the car and drove back to St. Paul's Street.
It's just that when Zheng Jianguo's car was still far away from No. 53, he saw several people coming out of the house at the door, and as his car drove closer, he hurriedly lowered the window and said, "Tian Mi, I'm back, you can go home." ”
"Didn't you go to work at the hospital?"
Although he almost pounced, Tian Mi still greeted him with a gentle smile on his face, Zheng Jianguo looked and found that there was no figure of Cui Yu's goods, except for a middle-aged man with lean short hair, that is, Cui Mi and the driver he saw last time, it seems that he also has a part-time security function.
As if knowing the curiosity in Zheng Jianguo's heart, Tian Mi didn't mean to pause, looked at the middle-aged man wearing a cadre uniform next to him, and said with a smile: "This is Cheng Chunxian, a researcher from our National Science Institute, he was appointed by the Science Institute to inspect the technology company, saying that he has admired your name for a long time, and this is not specifically contacted through the embassy——"
"Oh, hello, Researcher Cheng, I've admired your name for a long time, and Researcher Cheng Jingrun, you are my idol, go home and go home, go home and say-"
Zheng Jianguo said and nodded at Cheng Chunxian, this is his idol in his previous life, and of course there is the mathematician Cheng Jingrun, he wanted to reach the height of the two in medicine in his last life in the health school, of course, in the end, it goes without saying, but he didn't think that he could attract this to his side in this life: "Is there something wrong?"
Soon, Zheng Jianguo, who got out of the car, had a few thoughts in his mind, according to his few memories, this became the first batch of scientists to go to the sea a few years later in his previous life, and he was second only to academicians.
"I'll be here after the arrangement is made over there, and I won't be needed anyway. ”
With this thought in mind, Zheng Jianguo explained to Yang Na, and the people went to the door to welcome Tian Mi, Cheng Chunxian and others to the living room, only to see Cheng Chunxian looking back and forth with curiosity on his face, and said first: "It turns out that what Nong Shaoshan said is true, Zheng Jianguo, you have made a lot of money?"
