"Uncle, you go ahead with your work, I'll be going now." Li Chu quickly stood up. Now that he had achieved his purpose, he was ready to go back.

Uncle Wang looked at Li Chu, who had stood up, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Xiao Chu, why don't you come with me at noon? We're hosting guests from Arab countries today. I remember you taught yourself Arabic, right? You can be my temporary translator."

"Please spare me, Uncle! My mediocre skills are nowhere near those of those translators!"

He can indeed speak Arabic like a native speaker now, but translation is not a job that just anyone can do, especially in situations involving foreign visits, where one wrong move could lead to serious trouble!

My life is more important!

After saying goodbye to Uncle Wang and returning to the hospital, it was just time for lunch.

"Li Chu, did the child call you this morning?"

"I called, it was Wenxuan. The journey was smooth, but it was too cold there! He said the snow on the road was up to half a person's height in the thickest places."

"Isn't that how it is in Northeast China?"

Li Chu and Ding Qiunan sat in the small canteen, eating and talking about the children.

The various department heads and hospital executives who came and went all smiled knowingly when they saw the two of them.

This couple was known for their loving relationship at the hospital; whenever anyone was there, they would always eat together.

No matter who arrives for lunch first, they will get food for the other person as well, and they know exactly what the other person eats, doesn't eat, and likes to eat.

Of course, there are people who envy them and people who look down on them, but this has always been the case since Li Chu and Ding Qiunan got married, whether they were at Peking Union Medical College Hospital or here at the main hospital.

No matter what outsiders think or how they see it, only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold.

...

Days passed by, and ever since the foreign affairs department came to see him that day, there had been no further activity. The liaison office, as Li Chu had instructed, had also been holding back the application.

It wasn't until after the Lunar New Year, on the fourth day of the new year, that the approval finally came through.

This time, the approvals were granted to five pharmaceutical companies, not just one in West Germany.

In other words, Li Chu was going to treat the bodies of fifty people at once.

To be honest, this is no small project.

However, things can't start right now, because those companies are currently allocating resources and rushing to deliver the medical equipment and experimental equipment they need.

The people in the Beijing municipal government also started working like crazy, cooperating with the people from these pharmaceutical companies to find a suitable place for them to temporarily set up camp.

Because those instruments and equipment need to be installed, and the medical personnel and other support staff they send over for drug trials need to have places to stay.

Of course, none of this concerns Li Chu. He is just waiting, waiting for everything to be arranged before he takes the stage.

The happiest people are the main hospital. Firstly, all these instruments and equipment will be left to the main hospital in the future. Secondly, during the drug trial period, the main hospital can send people to follow these companies to observe and learn from their experiments.

February 22, 1982, Monday. Today is auspicious for travel, groundbreaking, opening a business, and getting married.

In the morning, Ding Qiunan stood in front of her husband and helped him straighten his clothes.

"You really didn't tell the two kids that you were going to give them a lesson!"

"No, let's give them a surprise."

"This isn't a surprise, it's a shock!" Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her.

This guy, I don't know where he got these weird tastes from.

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to the hospital first, and then I'll go to school."

"Hey honey, how's it going with those pharmaceutical companies looking for locations?"

"That's about it. There used to be a processing plant on the west side, just outside the city. The plant had enough space for both office buildings and factory buildings. The government has allocated a new area for the processing plant to relocate there, and those companies can set up their offices in the plant."

We've already started cleaning up for them according to the pharmaceutical company's requirements.

"Five companies put together?"

"Yeah, but both the lab and the staff accommodations are separate. The factory is big enough."

"Let them do whatever they want, let's see if it starts in the summer."

After Ding Qiunan sat down on the bench and changed her shoes, Li Chu took her coat and helped her put it on.

The two of them walked out of the house together.

Xiao Tian first drove Ding Qiunan to the hospital, and then took Li Chu to the medical school.

At this moment, there was only half an hour left before Li Chu's first class at the medical school.

At this time, Li Wenhui and her brother Li Wenxuan had arrived at the large classroom with their classmates.

The course "Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine" is taken by students from two different cohorts, plus other elective courses from other majors. However, if you arrive early, there won't be many good seats available.

In this era, college students have to fight for seats in class, afraid that if they arrive late, they won't get a good seat and won't be able to hear the teacher's lecture.

With about ten minutes to go before class started, the classroom was already almost full.

Whether they are students majoring in this subject or taking this course as an elective, every student who sees this book has the same expression: utter despair.

Especially for those students who chose this elective course, they chose it because they thought it covered the basics. But who would have thought that the book would be thicker than their major textbooks? The worst part is that it's divided into two volumes, which is really a nightmare.

156n.

Sitting next to Li Wenhui, Lu Ping asked softly, "Wenhui, has your uncle told you the key points of this book?"

"Yes, I did say that!"

"Really? Then tell me about it too!" Lu Ping's eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly.

It's not that this girl doesn't like studying; it's just that their studies are too demanding, with too much to memorize. If the burden could be lightened a bit, who wouldn't be happy?

Li Wenhui nodded seriously: "Okay, my dad said that the key point of this book is this book. As long as you memorize it all, you will definitely have no problem with the exam."

What are you talking about, Walter?

Lu Ping was completely stunned. Looking at Li Wenhui's serious expression, she really wanted to give her a good slap.

"Wenhui, you've changed! I've decided, I'm not playing with you anymore."

"hehe"

If they weren't in the classroom, Lu Ping would have definitely pounced on Li Wenhui and bitten her twice just because of those two laughs; it was just too infuriating.

"Wenhui, has your uncle ever told you these things at home?"

"No, apart from assigning Wenxuan some learning materials, my dad doesn't tell him anything else."
