“Hmm?”
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi.
Just a moment ago, you were on Teacher Zhang’s side, and now you’re saying that these two look like husband and wife?
Lin Yi, you’re betraying your own team!
“Kid, what nonsense are you spouting?” Zhao Dongmei laughed uncontrollably, as if she’d suddenly become ten years younger.
!!
At the same time, she felt like this Lin Yi was even more handsome than when he had first come in.
“Cough cough cough…”
Peng Xingguo coughed a few times. “Little Yi, didn’t you want to talk to Director Zhao about something? Tell her now.”
Although Zhang Shumin wasn’t around, Peng Xingguo still called her Director Zhao.
Lin Yi wouldn’t be bothered, but the traitorous Ji Qingyan was still around. If he said something wrong, she would definitely tell on him whens he got back.
Thus, this was better to be cautious.
This was his thought process.
“Come on, let’s sit down and talk.”
They sat down and Lin Yi took out a piece of paper. There were dozens of Huaxian herbs written on it, and he went straight to the point.
“Teacher Zhao, I have a prescription here. I want to make this into a proprietary Huaxian medicine. I hope you can think of a way to help.”
“Make a proprietary Huaxian medicine?”
Zhao Dongmei looked at the prescription on the paper and was suspicious for a long time. “Where did this prescription come from? The prescription is too strange. I’ve been practicing Huaxian medicine for so many years, but I’ve never seen such a prescription.”
“This is the prescription recorded in the Pharmacopoeia of Internal Medicine.”
“How is that possible?!” Zhao dongmei said in surprise.
“The Pharmacopoeia of Internal Medicine is the most complicated Huaxian medicine manual in Huaxia to date. There are only a little more than twenty sets of it, and more than ten sets have already been burned. Where did you see it?”
“This…”
Lin Yi smiled bitterly, “This is something that was pa.s.sed down in our family. When my grandfather was dying, he grabbed my father’s hand and told him that he had to pa.s.s the formula down. When my father died, he grabbed my hand and told me that I had to pa.s.s the formula down to the people. In order to fulfill my ancestor’s wishes, I brought this formula here to you.”
Ji Qingyan, “???”
Aren’t you an orphan?
Where did you meet the three generations of your family?
Zhao Dongmei’s expression was serious. It was obvious that she had never seen anything like this before.
“That won’t do. We can’t use personal prescriptions. It’s considered irresponsible.”
“That’s too bad.” Lin Yi sighed. “But I think it’s even more unfortunate that you didn’t get together with Teacher Peng back then.”
“Little Yi, you can’t say things like that.” Zhao Dongmei said. “Still, there might be room for us to maneuver when it comes to making this drug. A few years ago, this would’ve been my call. Now that the country’s regulations are tight, this matter is not easy to handle.”
“Looks like there will still be some difficulty.” Lin Yi sighed again. “Born at the wrong time, love at the wrong time. All this is fate!”
Ji Qingyan, “???”
Where did this chicken soup for the soul come from?
“Yeah, it’s all fate.” Zhao Dongmei said.
“I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the mouth of the river. I miss you every day, but I don’t see you, even though we both drink the water of the Yangtze River. When will this water rest? When will this hatred end? I only hope that your heart is like mine, as I won’t let you down.” Lin Yi shook his head, “The ancients are really too cruel.”
“Little Yi, you’re one of my people, so I, Teacher Zhao, will treat you as one of my own.”
Zhao Dongmei looked at Lin Yi and suddenly felt a sense of mutual understanding.
After so many years, she finally met someone who understood her.
“Our hospital has its own pharmaceutical factory. If you want to turn this formula into a proprietary Huaxian medicine, you need to prove it over and over again. If there’s a problem, you have to stop it on the spot, but if there’s no problem, you have to prove it clinically. This will take at least a year.”
“There is no need to go through so much trouble. After we make the medicine, we just need to find a few white mice to do the experiment. Finally, we will have to produce a report. This has to all be completed within three days.”
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
If this medicine was not tested on humans and only stayed in the laboratory, it would be a breeze to produce.
Once the machine was turned on, the medicine could be ready in just two days. As for the experimental report, it was even simpler to prepare.
“Yes, in three days, it will be the thirtieth anniversary of my grandfather’s death. It will also be the tenth anniversary of my father’s death. I want to tell them this good news when I visit their grave.”
Peng Xingguo curled his lips and his expression was a little unnatural.
The Old Lin family members all lived short lives.
“Alright, wait for me for a while. I’ll make a call and ask around. The pharmaceutical factory is under the responsibility of another deputy director. I have to inform him beforehand.”
As she spoke, Zhao Dongmei took out her phone. “Director Sun, is the meeting over? I have something to discuss with you.”
“There’s something going on at the factory, so I didn’t attend the meeting. If you have something to say, just say it,” Director Sun said very politely.
“I have a friend who has a prescription. I think it’s pretty good and want to make it into a proprietary Huaxian medicine.”
“Ah?” The person named Director Sun raised his voice.
“Director Zhao, you’re very familiar with this industry too. Are you kidding me? No, no, no. If something happens, we’ll both have to quit.”
“Qingyan, I’m going to donate one million yuan to Zhonghai Huaxia Medical Hospital. What do you think?” Lin Yi said to himself.
“Director Zhao, although this matter is difficult, there should still be room for negotiation if we talk things out.”
“Nowadays, these young people only know Western medicine and have forgotten about the things pa.s.sed down from our ancestors. I think I should donate two million. I have to ensure our future generations are aware that our traditional Huaxian medicine is not inferior to Western medicine!”
“Director Zhao, traditional Huaxian medicine cannot rely be allowed to stagnate. We have to be brave enough to innovate. I have decided to give this a try.”
“As the last base of traditional Huaxian medicine, Zhonghai Traditional Huaxia Medical Hospital has made an indelible contribution to the development of traditional Huaxian medicine in our country. Two million is too little. It’ll be better to donate three million.”
“Director Zhao, where are you? Send me the prescription, I’ll arrange for its production in the factory now.”
Zhao Dongmei held her phone, feeling as if she was living in another world.
She had only spoken at the beginning, and Lin Yi had been talking to himself this whole time. Why had they reached an agreement so fast.
“Alright, I’ll send the prescription to you now.”
After hanging up, Zhao Dongmei looked at Lin Yi and said,
“I’ll keep the prescription for now. I still have to meet with the pharmaceutical experts and do some research. I’ll try my best to get the report out before the funeral. But don’t be upset if it takes more than a few days. You can’t be careless with this kind of thing.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Zhao.” Lin Yi held Zhao Dongmei’s hand reluctantly.
“It was just a quick meeting, and now we have to part ways. We all feel sorry that you didn’t manage to get together with Teacher Peng, but… Sigh, the heavens don’t blow as one wishes, and people don’t always meet as one wishes.”
“Why are you still talking about this at this time?” Zhao Dongmei said, “But don’t worry, Little Yi. I will definitely get the report out for you within three days.”
“Okay, okay, okay. When the time comes, I will bring Teacher Peng along to retrieve it.”
