Chapter 157 If she doesn’t go to dinner on time, her family will be angry

In the carriage.

An Yuening turned the steering wheel, looked at the road ahead, and said, "I say, your hoarseness is really serious."

Xu Jialan had just finished replying to Gu Ziwei's message when his expression paused.

She raised an eyebrow and looked towards the driver's seat.

"What? Doctor An wants to treat me?"

An Yuening clicked her tongue and said, "Come on, I'll still treat you."

Xu Jialan didn't say anything.

"You've been howling for at least half the night, right?"

Xu Jialan took a deep breath, "An Yuening."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

An Yuening suppressed her laughter, took out a box of medicine from the secret compartment and handed it over.

The box only has the lab's name on it, no branding.

"Take one pill, or you won't even be able to hold a meeting when you get to the lab."

Xu Jialan turned his head, reached out to take it, and threw one into his mouth.

Lozenges for soothing the throat.

It felt cool and refreshing, and the uncomfortable feeling quickly dissipated.

The effect is quite obvious.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the medicine in her hand, and laughed helplessly, "What kind of experiments are you doing every day in your laboratory? How come you even have throat lozenges?"

"Of course it's a money-making experiment."

An Yuening glanced at her quickly and said, "There are drastic measures for serious illnesses, but minor illnesses shouldn't be ignored either. This medicine is just a little more expensive than regular lozenges, but it works."

"You know, as long as rich people are sick, they want to buy experimental drugs. To them, experimental drugs are better and more valuable than ordinary drugs. They don't care about the price, right?"

An Yuening chuckled, "Lanlan, do you know that there are still many poor people in this society who are in urgent need of experimental drugs but cannot afford them?"

Hearing this, Xu Jialan raised his eyes and looked forward, and said softly, "I know, they don't have money, and they don't have any channels. The price of experimental drugs is much more expensive than ordinary drugs, and they may not be reimbursed."

She paused, "It's like, suddenly giving you hope, but then instantly making you fall into darkness."

An Yuening sighed, "Yeah, but what can we do? Not everyone is like you, able to persist for so long and pay such a high price to achieve something."

Xu Jialan slowly tightened his fingers.

As long as she can give people hope, she is not afraid of any price.

An Yuening glanced at the medicine box in her hand and said, "Ever since I was abroad, I've wanted to do something."

She curled her red lips and said, "I plan to make these experimental drugs simple to conduct, effective, and affordable, and sell them specifically to wealthy people who need them."

"After deducting costs and necessary labor fees, the remaining income will be invested in your cancer drug research and development experiments."

After he finished speaking, Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment.

She looked up suddenly, "Ningning, you..."

An Yuening smiled and said, "How is it? Are you touched?"

Xu Jialan looked at her without saying a word, his eyes slightly red.

An Yuening shook her hand and said, "I know you are the type who will love someone forever once you fall in love with them. I am the same. Once I make a good friend, I will treat her well for the rest of my life."

“Even if Shen Yankai wasn’t here this time and the Medical Bureau didn’t approve your project funding, I would still ensure that your experiment proceeds smoothly.”

Xu Jialan didn't know what to say for a moment.

She didn't expect An Yuening to do so many things without her knowing.

It's obviously just her stubbornness.

"Go for it, don't worry. You shouldn't be the only one in the entire medical community who insists on doing something this meaningful."

Xu Jialan's mouth curled up slowly, "Okay, I will try my best."

Strive to let everyone see the dawn of hope.

An Yuening looked at the beautiful black eyes shining with bright stars and curled her lips.

"Well, I believe you."

…

In the laboratory.

Xu Jialan, wearing a white coat and goggles, stood in front of the equipment.

Standing next to him were Gu Ziwei and several associate professors.

"Professor Xu, this is the first drug reaction test. We took cancer cell samples and placed them together with the drug for reaction testing. The test results show that although the cancer cells have been greatly reduced, unknown toxins have also been produced."

"If this is used on patients, even if it can eliminate cancer cells, it will also have certain side effects."

Overall, the first experiment was a failure.

Several people were covered in dust and dirt.

Gu Ziwei looked at Xu Jialan, "Junior sister, this experiment... we failed."

Xu Jialan took a deep breath and looked at everyone. "Drug research and development is a long process, and we have chosen the most difficult project. This is just the beginning, and failure is normal."

She had already prepared herself for failure.

But it won’t fail all the time.

She glanced at the instrument's response and said, "First, prepare a summary report of this experimental and test data. Then we can discuss the next research direction."

Gu Ziwei nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Jialan looked at the time, gave a few instructions, and then left the laboratory.

Watching her leave, a researcher beside her couldn't help but say, "Professor Xu is really unwavering. He goes to eat at 12 o'clock every day."

As Gu Ziwei sorted out the information, he said, "If she doesn't go to dinner on time, her family will be angry."

"Family? Professor Gu, you mean..."

Gu Ziwei smiled but didn't answer. He patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go eat. We'll continue after dinner."

"yes."

…

Today, Xu Jialan came to An Yuening's office for dinner.

An Yuening sat on the sofa, looking at the experimental data on the tablet.

Her brows were always furrowed.

Xu Jialan sat next to him and opened the lunch box skillfully.

Then he opened a can of Coke and handed it to her.

"Let's eat first."

An Yuening nodded, picked up the Coke and took a sip.

She suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Mom said that Christmas Eve is in two days, so let's go back and have dinner together."

The Shen family never celebrated this kind of festival before.

But later Shen Xichuan joined the fire department and was often out of contact.

Mrs. Shen was really worried.

Later I heard that eating peace apple on Christmas Eve can bless you with peace and safety throughout the year.

From then on, every year, the Shen family would celebrate Christmas Eve and eat peace apples.

"The one in your family should have time, right?"

Xu Jialan nodded, "Yes, he told me that we would go back together that day."

“Okay, then I won’t go with you. Shen Yankai will come and pick me up.”

"good."

After Xu Jialan finished his meal, he walked towards the laboratory building.

She took out her phone and typed, "Can I leave early the day after tomorrow? I'll pick you up from your team?"

After a while, Shen Xichuan replied, “Okay, Mrs. Shen, please be safe.”

Xu Jialan smiled and replied, "I understand, Mr. Shen."
