Chapter 22 Pull for Sponsorship
Liang Yan quickly forgot about the man waiting for her downstairs, she read papers with students at home every morning, and went to the bar to watch a show in the afternoon. Yes, really, after so many days, Liang Yan has become friends with that old man.
Mark has a very serious diabetes, but he hates the kind of medication and diet control, so he is always looking for "folk remedies". Although not professional, as a doctor, Liang Yan is especially an authentic Chinese, she can't let this "fake Chinese medicine" harm people, so no matter how Mark drives her, Liang Yan still follows him every day to watch the show, and sees the wrong guidance and ruthlessly debunks it.
In addition to this, what annoys Liang Yan the most is that a girl at this age who can be his granddaughter restricts herself from drinking coffee all day long, which is his favorite! So people in the bar can see the old and the young arguing in front of the computer every day. "Alas, this host is just nonsense, it's not good to eat more white vinegar, and it's easy to appetize, and blood sugar rises faster......"
"Shut up, don't take my coffee!"
……
You and I spent many afternoons like this. In the end, the boss couldn't stand the two of them anymore and had to "invite" them to the open-air seats outside the bar. The two of them were reprimanded, bowing their heads like schoolchildren and not daring to speak, and after a while, they laughed out loud in unison.
After a while, the old man lost interest in watching the show and asked Liang Yan: "Why do you come to watch the show with me every day, are you free?" Liang Yan pouted, "It's not what you said, I read papers with the team every night and saw three watches in the middle of the night." After speaking, he rubbed his eyes, stayed up for a few days and nights, and was indeed a little tired, "I'm picking investors here." The old man pretended to be interested: "Oh? So what kind of investors do you want? ”
Speaking of this, Liang Yan's face became serious, and her sitting posture was much more upright: "The project we do is for the health of human beings, and I hope that investors can have the same goals as us." ”
The old man was secretly surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and looked at Liang Yan with contempt: "The investor is not a philanthropist!" ”
Liang Yan looked at Mark's eyes without a trace of backing: "We will not fail, profitability is the inevitable end, but we can't work for profit, this is the consensus of our team." Mark paused, sighed and didn't argue with Liang Yan anymore, put away the computer and was about to leave, and said before leaving: "Let's watch the show here tomorrow, I have guests to meet today." ”
Liang Yan naturally didn't expect Mark's guest to be Gu Zexu. Mark carried the computer to the Chinese restaurant where he met Gu Zexu. Gu Zexu pulled out a chair for him and greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, you still love watching shows so much!" ”
After Gu Zexu finished speaking, he ordered him a cup of coffee. Mark remembered what she said when she was watching the show with Liang Yan just now, and said to him: "No, I haven't drunk coffee for a while, and recently there is a little girl who has been taking care of me, and I am about to quit coffee." Gu Zexu was surprised, when Mark used to live in the United States, he drank coffee with him every day, and the old habit of almost ten years was so easily quit?
"It seems that this little girl is very powerful." Gu Zexu smiled and changed the apple cider vinegar for him. "Yes, I'm almost impressed by her, if my granddaughter were still here, she would be her age now. It's really old, and it's good to have someone in charge. Mark took a sip of apple cider vinegar and frowned at the acid, "What about you?" Why did you suddenly come to the UK? Gu Zexu smiled, "Oh, it's also for a little girl." ”
Liang Yan came back a little early today, and she and the students raced against time to finish the article at two o'clock in the middle of the night. A student put down the computer and stretched hard: "Mr. Liang, we have read all the literature, how can we do the next step of gene sequencing without software?" The air fell silent for a moment, and Liang Yan finally said, "Everyone wait, I will try to find sponsorship." ”
The next day, Liang Yan brought a computer to the bar, but Mark hadn't come yet, so she sat in the agreed position and browsed the materials she had prepared for a long time. Well, Liang Yan has been preparing these since she first came to the bar, waiting to select investors. After a while, Mark also came, and when he saw Liang Yan's information, he knew what Liang Yan was going to say next, he got up and said that he wanted to order a cup of boiling water, and as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and fell straight in front of Liang Yan.
The people in the bar also saw this scene, and the boss rushed out and wanted to help the old man up, but was stopped by Liang Yan. She said, "Don't touch him, get an ambulance first." She squatted down, felt Mark's pulse, and found that there was no pulse, so she didn't hesitate and sat up CPR for the old man.
By the time the ambulance came, Liang Yan was already sweating profusely. The doctor who came with the car nodded approvingly at her, and Liang Yan followed her to the hospital. Liang Yan had never heard of Mark's family, and now there is no way to contact his family, the nurse pulled her to the payment window, Liang Yan was embarrassed, she only had 500 pounds left, which was all her net worth. Gritting her teeth, Liang Yan complained angrily Mark: You don't control your blood sugar all day!
Mark was diagnosed with a heart attack, and now that he has not been anesthetic, Liang Yan can only stay in the hospital and wait for him. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and after two hours, the old man slowly woke up. "Did you save me?" Mark said weakly. Liang Yan shrugged: "It's not counted, it's just a little help." While Liang Yan went to help him get the medicine, Mark dialed Gu Zexu's phone and asked him to come over and deal with it. When Liang Yan came back, Mark took Liang Yan's hand: "Thank you, in return, I will invest in you, you send the information to this mailbox, and someone will negotiate with you in two days." He gestured to his coat pocket.
Liang Yan didn't expect the matter to be solved like this, the hand holding the business card was slightly white, and she suddenly choked up: "Thank you, we will really work hard!" Mark closed his eyes in exhaustion and said softly, "I know." ”
