Chapter 532: An Even Worse Condition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that Lin Yi was determined to do this, the others didn’t say anything else.
They all knew Lin Yi’s personality.
If it was something that he had decided on himself, even ten bulls wouldn’t be able to hold him back.
“Brother Lin, I did some calculations just now. Your few industries amount to about 40 billion. When the time comes, I’ll just play middleman and try to get you about 45 billion.” Liang Jinming said.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s more or less, but there’s one thing I need you to guarantee.” Lin Yi said.
!!
“Make sure the bank keeps this a secret for the time being. It must not be leaked. Otherwise, there will be no need for the mortgage at all.”
“That’s not a big problem.” Liang Jinming said.
“But it’s best to settle this matter within a month. That way, there won’t be much interest. If this drags on for too long, it won’t be easy to explain it to the bank.”
“That is not an issue. One hundred million in an initial interest payment should be enough to keep them happy for a while.” Lin Yi said.
“This money comes from them anyway, so it’s fine.”
“Brother Lin, you bankrupted Cisco a while ago. Coupled with the development of the Chip 2.0 technology, Longxin’s value is fast rising. If you mortgage it to the bank, I think you can get a loan of at least 40 billion.”
“Longxin is an important card in my hands. I don’t want to touch it just yet.” Lin Yi said.
“If I really don’t have enough money on hand, I’ll use it too. There’s no hurry.”
“Alright, I’ll go talk to them tomorrow and see what the results are. Still, it’s not a big problem, so don’t worry, Brother Lin.”
Lin Yi nodded. “Alright, I won’t think about it anymore.”
“All right.”
“Brother Lin is still the best. The interest of 100 million isn’t even a problem to you. Haha…”
After chatting about serious matters, the four of them officially started drinking until the latter half of the night.
…
That night, Liang Ruoxu was also troubled.
She tossed and turned as she could not fall asleep. Finally, she called Shen Shuyi.
“Mom, are you asleep?”
“Not yet. I was waiting for you to call me,” Shen Shuyi said.
“How did you know I was going to call you?”
“Zhao Mo came back from America. He’s definitely going to attack Lin Yi. It’d be strange if you didn’t call me to discuss this.”
“What are you saying? You’re making it sound as if there’s no way I can leave him be,” Liang Ruoxu said. “Can’t I just be calling you because I miss you?”
“It’s past eleven at night. I don’t think it’s normal for anyone to miss me at this time except your father.”
“Eh…”
Liang Ruoxu had a look of disdain on his face. “You’re already an adult, yet you’re still so clingy. I really admire the two of you.”
“You can’t be envious of your father and me,” Shen Shuyi said. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. I’ve been busy at the company all day and don’t have time to accompany you.”
“Don’t.” Liang Ruoxu hurriedly said, “Let’s talk for a while.”
“You want to talk about Lin Yi, right? You’re already so old, so don’t be so secretive.”
Liang Ruoxu said helplessly like a deflated ball,
“Today, the two of us talked about Zhao Mo. Moreover, I’ve already a.n.a.lyzed the ways that Zhao Mo might tackle him, but he still looked eager to try. I thought for a long time, but I couldn’t think of a way to deal with him.”
“Did he ask you about getting a loan?” Shen Shuyi asked.
“No, I wanted to give him a loan, but he didn’t mention it. He even said that he wanted to go solo against Zhao Mo,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Huayin Group is rich and imposing by itself, but now he’s gone and sought out Muddy Waters Company. He even stayed at Soros’ Quantum Fund before, so I predict that Zhao Mo had started working on this matter immediately after the issue with Cisco. I really don’t see any hope of Lin Yi winning.”
“Then just wait. What’s the hurry?”
“That’s it?”
“What else? I’m not a G.o.d. How can I guess Lin Yi’s approach?”
“But you’ve been in business for so many years and have seen all kinds of things. You should be able to guess a little.”
“I’ve indeed been doing business for many years, but I’m not a G.o.d. How can I know so much?” Shen Shuyi said.
“Especially when it comes to Lin Yi. He has endless ideas. It’s really not easy to predict what he’ll do next.”
“Then why are you asking me if he asked me for a loan?”
“Because their strength is obviously not on the same level, so his tricks are useless,” Shen Shuyi said.
“He has to think of a way to pull himself to the same level as Zhao Mo before he can talk about anything else. The best way to prop himself up is with money. Now, as for the other small tricks, I can’t guess what they’ll be.”
“Mom, I can’t believe even you can’t guess it.”
“Because no one is on the same level as me, I never use tricks.”
“Um… President Shen, sorry to have disturbed you.”
Liang Ruoxu hung up the phone and thought to herself,
‘No wonder Mom approved of him so quickly. She’s just as arrogant. Can’t she just be humble? The Liang family’s down-to-earth style has been completely tarnished by her presence.’
…
The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual because he still had a surgery to do.
After the surgery, Lin Yi felt melancholic when he saw the fruits sent by his family.
These fruits added up might be more expensive than the cost of a silk banner. Why didn’t anyone give him one?
I’m just a vain person!
Can’t you see through my ruse and look at my heart?
“Brother Lin, why are you daydreaming?” Qiao Xin asked.
“Is there something on your mind? Let’s talk. I’m bored.”
“I’m handsome and rich, and I know how to do surgeries. Life like this is too boring.” Lin Yi peeled a banana. “Come, I’ll feed you a banana to help relieve your boredom.”
“No, Director Li is here. You should feed her.”
Lin Yi held the peeled banana to Li Chuhan’s mouth, “Do you want a bite?”
Li Chuhan was a little embarra.s.sed. She took a small bite.
Compared to Qiao Xin, Li Chuhan was clearly a newbie. Her movements were still unfamiliar. Hopefully, practice would polish this in the future.
Ring!
Lin Yi’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Sun Dawei from pediatrics.
“Director Lin, are you busy?”
“I just finished a surgery. I’m resting now.”
“Is Director Li in the department?”
“She’s beside me. Why are you looking for her?”
“If the two of you have nothing to do, can you come to my office? I have something to tell you.”
Lin Yi’s expression froze. “Is it about the child from yesterday?”
“Yes, the situation is worse than we thought. Come and take a look.”
“Alright, let’s go over now.”
“What happened?” Li Chuhan asked after Lin Yi hung up.
“Something happened at the pediatrics department. Director Sun asked us to go over and take a look.”
“Let’s go.” Li Chuhan stood up and said, “Little Qiao, come with us to take a look.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you, Director Li.”
The three of them rushed to Sun Dawei’s office in the third inpatient department.
On the way, Lin Yi roughly explained the situation from the day before to the two of them.
Although he was not a pediatrician, he knew a little about SMA.
The two of them showed similar reactions. This disease was a death sentence to ordinary people.
Forget a one-time treatment, even Nosinogen Sodium was an insurmountable mountain for them.
In Sun Dawei’s office, other than himself, there were a male and a female doctor oresent. They were the two deputy directors of the pediatrics department.
“Director Li, Director Lin.”
At Huashan Hospital, Li Chuhan was even more famous than Lin Yi. Her professional att.i.tude was especially respected.
“Brother Sun, what’s going on? That child should have finished being diagnosed, right?”
Sun Dawei nodded. “It’s confirmed. Just as we thought, it’s an SMA. But today, during the comprehensive examination, we found some other symptoms. This is the result of the examination. Director Li, Director Lin, take a look.”
The two of them took the examination report and read it carefully for a while. Their expressions were especially solemn.
“Where is the child?” Li Chuhan asked. “Can you take me to see him?”
“He’s in the ward. I’ll take you there.”
The group arrived at Ward 408 of the pediatrics department. Lin Yi saw the young couple he had met yesterday.
They already knew about the child’s illness and there were tears on their faces.
Seeing Lin Yi meet, the child’s mother suddenly became excited.
She knelt in front of Lin Yi, tears streaming down her face.
“Director Lin, they say that you’re the best doctor in Huashan Hospital. Please save my child. I’ll kowtow to you. Please save my child. I’m begging you.”
At the same time, the child’s father knelt down. “Doctor Lin, I beg you. You have to save my child.”
“Get up. Let’s talk about this slowly.” Lin Yi and Qiao Xin went forward and helped the two of them up, feeling upset.
In this world, there were not many things that could make a man kneel.
“Don’t worry, if there’s hope, we’ll do our best,” Lin Yi comforted. “Let’s take a look at the child first.”
Qiao Xin was in charge of calming the two of them down. Lin Yi and Li Chuhan walked over.
First, he used the stethoscope and listened to the child’s chest. Then, he pulled down his tongue and lips to check them. His expression became even more solemn.
“It’s almost confirmed. Congenital heart disease, a major artery transposition, and from the scan just now, it’s very likely to be a rare type 8 condition.”
There were a total of eight types of aortic transposition. Among them, there were types two, three, six, and seven. These were physiological corrections and were not serious. The remaining types had to be treated through surgery.
The fourth and eighth types were extremely rare.
Even Li Chuhan had only done it once while she was at Mayo Clinic.
Everyone in the ward fell silent. Getting an SMA was bad enough, but now this turned out to be a Type 8 aorta translocation. The child was suffering too much.
When they heard that their child had been diagnosed with congenital heart disease, the couple was stunned at first, as if they had lost their souls. Their emotions overflowed once again..
The child’s mother fainted, while the father only barely held on.
“Don’t be anxious. I’ll have a consultation with Director Sun later. Perhaps the situation isn’t as bad as you think. Don’t be afraid.”
That was true, but everyone present knew that it was almost hopeless.
The few of them left the ward and returned to Sun Dawei’s office.
“Director Li, the child’s illness has been diagnosed. Do you have any suggestions?”
“Treatment is not recommended.” Li Chuhan said.
“Even though it’s a type 8 aortic transposition, I’m confident I can do it. But the issue isn’t with his congenital heart disease, it’s with the SMA. Even if the surgery is successful, the child’s life will still be short. Based on the current situation, the most reasonable option is to skip the treatment and let them go home.”
