Chapter 91: The Pursuit of Life
Ji Rong came back from the capital, and on the first day of going to the hospital, Wen Zhong suddenly hurried to the real yĆ n room to look for him, gasped for breath and said, "Mr. Song is calling." ā
Ji Rong was bored: "Which Mr. Song?" ā
"The richest man, Song Changlian, you have seen it from Principal Drew."
Ji Rong remembered it and asked, "What's the matter with him?" ā
"It's his daughter Song Tang who called, she hopes that you can perform hibernation for Mr. Song, and they are willing to pay any amount of money."
Ji Rong was surprised: "But the preclinical trial of hibernation inducers has only reached the second phase. ā
"It is said that Mr. Song can't wait, his body functions have almost lost their functions, and they all rely on the machine to maintain it, even if he doesn't hibernate, he won't be able to survive for a few days." Wen Zhong said, "Why don't you go and see his situation before making a decision?" ā
Ji Rong thought for a while and said, "Then you call Mr. Song back, and I'll come over in the afternoon." ā
After Song Tang received the news, he personally went to Wenzhong Hospital to pick up Ji Rong.
Dean Wen also met Song Tang for the first time, so he was very enthusiastic and invited Song Tang to sit in the office.
Song Tang politely refused: "No, my father is still waiting to see Professor Ji, and I will come to visit again next time." After speaking, he personally opened the car door for Ji Rong and invited him to get in the car.
Ji Rong thanked him. Song Tang went around to the other side to get into the car and instructed the driver: "Drive faster." ā
The car is moving at high speed.
Song Tang was silent all the way, although he sat quietly and did not move, his eyebrows were full of anxiety.
When he arrived at Song's house, Song Tang walked quickly, and said to Ji Rong: "Because my father has been ill for a long time and the medical equipment at home is complete, if you can, it is best to perform the operation in the afternoon." ā
"I'll wait until I see your father." Ji Rong said lightly.
Song Tang glanced back at him, without saying a word, and his steps were faster.
Song Changlian on the hospital bed, with tubes inserted all over his body, saw Ji Rong come in, and his eyes moved.
Song Tang hurriedly walked to his side in a few steps and whispered, "Dad, I invited Professor Ji here." ā
"Mr. Song." Ji Rong walked to the bedside and saw that he was old, which was very different from when they met last year.
Song Changlian made a heavy and weak voice from his throat: "Professor Ji, I said goodbye last year, but I didn't expect to meet again in this way. My days are numbered. ā
Ji Rong observed his complexion, turned back to Song Tang and said, "Give me Mr. Song's medical records." ā
Song Tang hurriedly took it from the desk and handed it to Ji Rong.
Ji Rong watched it from beginning to end, and was also deeply shocked, and said to Song Changlian: "Mr. Song, don't be sad, you have worked very hard, I have never seen a tenacious patient like you, born as a human being, there is always a death, why be afraid." His voice was flat and calm, and seemed to have a calming effect.
Song Changlian looked at Ji Rong, described as thin, and said in a low voice: "I am a businessman in the world, to this point, I still can't find out life and death, and it is already very painful to be riddled with diseases, but what is even more painful is that people who are dying have infinite greed for life." ā
He took a moment to breathe and continued, "Thirty years ago, a medical scientist once told me that if I tried to live another fifty years, biotechnology would at least double my lifespan. I thought to myself, I can't make it to that age at my age. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to meet a genius like Professor Ji, which made me catch up with this old bone. I think that with Professor Ji's ability, as long as I live for another two or three years, maybe I don't even need to hibernate, and I can live for a few more decades. It's a pity that my body is really not strong, and I can't hold on for even a few days. In the last 30 years, my heart has been changed four times, my liver has been changed twice, and my body is now too old to withstand any toss. Speaking of this, he coughed suddenly, his throat was like a broken bellows, whirring, and it took a long time to recover, and he said in a low voice, "This time, I will trouble Professor Ji to let me sleep for a few years, and then wake me up when your immortal technique comes out." ā
"I'm not studying longevity, but cryoresurrection, which may not be helpful to Mr. Song." Ji Rong said.
Song Changlian said with difficulty: "Professor Ji doesn't need to be modest, I can trust your research, you just have to do it, even if you don't wake up from a long sleep, I admit it, I haven't made much contribution to society in my life, this time I should do an experiment for science, I have asked the lawyer to complete the relevant legal documents, Professor Ji don't worry." ā
Song Tang handed the legal documents to Ji Rong, Ji Rong glanced at them, and said to Song Changlian: "Since Mr. Song has thought it through, I will still do the operation in the hospital." ā
Hearing Ji Rong's relief, Song Changlian's face relaxed: "Okay, listen to Professor Ji." Instructed Song Tang, "Send me to the hospital tomorrow." ā
Song Tang nodded, turned around and took out a check from the drawer, and handed it to Ji Rong: "This is the remuneration for the operation, please fill in the number Professor Ji." ā
Ji Rong said lightly: "The remuneration is not needed, the operation is not foolproof, it is possible that you will never wake up, Mr. Song dares to try at this time, it is actually equivalent to a human trial, and there is no need to pay remuneration." ā
Song Changlian said: "Professor Ji should accept it, the right is my investment in your medical career, if you don't accept it, how can I, a dying person, be at ease?" ā
"Then leave it to the dean."
Song Changlian knew what he was like, and when he heard him say this, he motioned to Song Tang to put the check away: "I, Song Changlian, have been up and down in the business world all my life, and I have never admired anyone, even if it is a person with means and talents, at most I just appreciate it." Only you, Professor Ji, I admire from the bottom of my heart, although I covet your talent, but I am impressed by your character. So, for you, I have never touched the heart of talent. Because I know that even if I pile mountains of gold and silver in front of you, you won't look at them again. Your talent is certainly valuable, it is difficult to find it in a hundred years, and what is even more rare is that your character is not exaggerated at all. Song Changlian sighed, "I, a layman, can't understand how you have such knowledge, identity, and status, but you don't pursue fame and fortune, so what are you doing a job for?" As far as I know, even if it's your research, you don't care about it. If it weren't for Dean Wen, I'm afraid it would have been stolen long ago. There are many selfless people in human history, but those are the biographies of celebrities, the legends of future generations, and there is probably no one who can really do what you do. If Professor Ji doesn't mind, can I ask, what are you really after? ā
In the face of such praise, Ji Rong was not touched, his expression was still indifferent, and he said unhurriedly: "It seems that all people feel that there must be a pursuit before life can be called." In fact, my pursuit is just to live this life. ā
Song Changlian was silent, and Song Tang's gaze also fell on Ji Rong.
"It turns out that the pursuit of life can be so simple." After a long time, Song Changlian sighed. (To be continued.) )
