Coming out of the experimental animal center, Ye Zhenzhen felt depressed.

Especially when she heard Nan Zhiqiao say that the monkeys inside were imported from Africa, Ye Zhenzhen was even more worried.

On the way back from Jasmine Manor, Nan Zhiqiao looked at Zhen Zhen and was bored, and guessed one or two from the conversation in the experimental animal center just now, so he comforted and said, "Don't worry, the animals in Tinder No. 1 Base have been strictly quarantined, no problem, even if any pathogens are found, we can follow the clues and find the source of the pathogen." ”

Zhen Zhen believed what Nan Zhiqiao said, and smiled comfortably, "Well, don't worry, next I have to prepare for the visit of the President of Sierra Leone, the president came this time to meet the personnel who participated in the West African anti-epidemic rescue team last time, the focus is to see you, Senior Nan, you almost died last time." ”

"Hello to see you, there are a lot of cooperation projects to discuss. ”

——

Tuesday, the day of the president's visit.

On a sunny morning, the President and his entourage of 13 people visited the CDC, accompanied by the Chinese Ambassador to Sierra Leone.

The director of the center, as well as the directors and directors of several research institutes under the center, attended the meeting as observers, and Nan Zhiqiao was also among them.

As the assistant secretary of the conference, Ye Zhenzhen sat in the corner of the round table of the conference.

At the beginning, the director of the center delivered a welcome speech, in which he mentioned that experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention have forged deep friendship with the people of Sierra Leone in their participation in the fight against the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, and that public health workers from China and Sierra Leone continue to carry out close technical cooperation in strengthening the public health system of Sierra Leone and West African countries, responding to infectious diseases and public health emergencies, which has become an important part of China-Africa public health cooperation.

The welcome speech was followed by a speech by the President of Sierra Leone, who, on behalf of the Government and people of Sierra Leone, expressed his gratitude to the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention for its assistance in terms of equipment, personnel, laboratory construction and training during the fight against the Ebola epidemic.

Although the Ebola outbreak is over, Sierra Leone still has a lot to do in terms of follow-up, treatment, research and other aspects of Ebola virus disease survivors.

The meeting also mentioned the construction of the Sierra Leone CDC and West African Tropical Disease Research and Training Centre, and discussed the location of the Sierra Leone Tropical Disease Research and Training Centre, the network structure and departmental roles of disease surveillance and early warning, and the framework of the disease prevention and control system adapted to national conditions.

During the discussion, Nan Zhiqiao and the Serbian side agreed on the cooperation content of the clinical trial of the Ebola vaccine.

At the end of the nearly two-hour talks, the two sides exchanged commemorative gifts and took a group photo.

At the end of the talks, substantive cooperation began.

Nan Zhiqiao quickly contacted the Cypriot health department to find out the location and time of the Ebola vaccine clinical trial, and then informed Dr. Mu's team.

At the same time, Nan Zhiqiao received a notice from the center that in order to support the construction of the West African Tropical Disease Research and Training Center, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention would send a group of experts to West Africa, and Nan Zhiqiao was on the list of expert groups.

This dispatch was expected by Nan Zhiqiao, and when they discussed it with the Cypriot health department, they were eager for the Chinese CDC to send a team of experts, and this time they took the opportunity of the president's visit to mention it.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the list of expert groups, hoping to go out with Senior Nan, but the list of expert groups has come out, and it is difficult to change it.

Ye Zhenzhen found Nan Zhiqiao privately and said that she wanted to go to West Africa with him, Nan Zhiqiao was a little entangled, although she also wanted Zhen Zhen to follow her, but she was worried about danger, this little selfishness, so Nan Zhiqiao directly rejected Zhen Zhen's request, and also found a seemingly good reason, "The list is decided by the leaders of the center, and it is not easy to change." ”

Regarding the reason for Nan Zhiqiao's refusal, Ye Zhenzhen thought about it seriously and thought of a solution.

Ye Zhenzhen found from the published list that there is an expert in experimental animal breeding - Zhang Dan, she is also in the expert group, but a few days ago I just listened to the students in the experimental group talking about gossip, Zhang Dan's son is preparing for the high school entrance examination, and there is an elderly person hospitalized at home, who is so busy that even normal work is affected, and it is even impossible to go to West Africa.

Ye Zhenzhen immediately ran to the central office to express her willingness to go to West Africa, and sure enough, as soon as Zhen Zhen finished speaking, before she walked out of the central office, Zhang Dan also came to the central office to explain the situation at home and said that she didn't want to go to West Africa.

As soon as the leaders of the center discussed, the dispatch list was changed, and Ye Zhenzhen replaced Zhang Dan and entered the expert group to West Africa.

After watching Ye Zhenzhen happily busy, Nan Zhiqiao asked, "Are you so happy to be able to go to West Africa?"

"Of course, this is the first time I have gone abroad to participate in the disease control mission, or I went with Senior Nan and so many experts, I can learn a lot, and this experience will not be many times in my life, of course I am happy. ”

The date of the Panel's trip to West Africa was quickly set, in mid-November.

The date for the research team led by Dr. Mu to go to West Africa for the clinical trial of the Ebola vaccine has also been set, two days later than the date when the team went to West Africa.

——

On the eve of their trip to West Africa, Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao were in the central laboratory to do the final tidying.

All kinds of instruments, reagents, and materials to be brought to West Africa have been sorted out, and the trip to West Africa is expected to take about a month, and the things in the laboratory will be handed over to Teacher Li Huizhen, and the students' experimental guidance can be carried out through the Internet, and the affairs of Guojing Medical Center will be handed over to You Kexin to be responsible, and the routine operation of the No. 1 base under Jasmine Manor will also be handled by Secretary Li.

All the work was arranged, and only one last thing was left - Grandpa Nan.

A few days ago, Grandpa Nan was still shouting about preparing a wedding venue for Nan Zhiqiao and Zhen Zhen, and then the two suddenly received a disease control task to go to West Africa, and it will take more than a month to go, and the rhythm of forced marriage will also stop.

Because of the fact that he was going to West Africa, Grandpa Nan was obviously depressed.

After Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen prepared the things for departure, they went back to the old mansion in the western suburbs together.

On the way back, Nan Zhiqiao sighed while driving: "Grandpa never showed displeasure because I went abroad on a business trip before, this time it was very abnormal, since I told him about going to West Africa, every time we met, he always kept a straight face." ”

Ye Zhenzhen sat in the co-pilot seat and analyzed: "Maybe it's because you're old, I hope your relatives will be by your side, and you are going out this time, and it's Africa, for Grandpa Nan, that's a place with too many sad memories, and he will definitely be worried." Senior Nan, did you tell your grandfather that this time we only went to help build a research center, and there is no epidemic to deal with, so there is no danger. ”

"I said it, but Grandpa still had that expression. Nan Zhiqiao thought for a while, "Zhen Zhen, did you say that grandpa was unhappy because we went to West Africa and he couldn't force marriage?"

"Wouldn't it?!"

"Most likely, otherwise, we told my grandfather tonight that when we come back from West Africa, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate. ”
