“We have been actively searching for children with genetic diseases in the city and have contacted thousands of such families, but without exception, the answer we have received is no.”
The entire Academy of Sciences was seated in the spacious conference room.
Jiang Cheng was also sitting to Zhong Lao's left.
"I understand. After all, it's a newly developed drug, and people are naturally hesitant to risk it. It's alright, your hospital can promote it again."
Old Zhong tapped the table and addressed the person in charge of the frontline personnel in Kyoto.
"Understood. Our requirements are clear. All treatments will be free for those involved in gene therapy, with consultations provided by the most renowned experts in Kyoto. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, the hospital will be responsible for all subsequent support. A contract can be signed."
Old Zhong waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. These families are already suffering from illnesses, and they naturally don't want anything to happen to their children. This is not something that can be solved by how good the welfare benefits you offer. Even if it costs a million, our hospital can afford it, but that would make the patients think that our project is extremely dangerous and that they are paying money to buy their lives."
“Okay, Dean Zhong.” The person in charge nodded.
Jiang Cheng rested his chin on his hand, listening intently to their conversation.
"Team Leader Jiang, don't worry. We'll eventually find a suitable candidate. We're confident in our R&D. We've overcome the most difficult step and are now in the final stages of bringing our product to market."
He nodded after listening.
Only after overcoming this final hurdle can gene therapy drugs truly be available on the market.
Only then can the mission be accomplished.
What exactly is a technology tree?
Jiang Cheng gently exhaled a breath of stale air.
Although it was said to be a meeting, many of the higher-ups were not paying attention to the conversation between Dr. Zhong and the hospital officials; most of them were looking at Jiang Cheng.
Because some people who have never met him are very curious.
Independently explore the mysteries of the human genome!
Gene therapy developed in 20 days, ready to hit the market!
Rumor has it that he's still a teenager!
What does such a person actually look like?
The senior executives were amazed, because he was so young and remained calm and composed among so many senior executives.
I didn't feel nervous at all!
A gentle breeze and light clouds?
These people were slightly surprised.
Geniuses are the envy of most people; they occupy the pinnacle of the world.
However, it's not hard to see that geniuses possess unparalleled talent, extremely high intelligence, and terrifyingly keen insight in a certain field, but their excellence is often accompanied by some flaws.
"High scores but low ability".
That's what it's used to describe these people.
From a young age, they are surrounded by a halo, enduring the envious and admiring gazes of others, and receiving meticulous care from their parents or teachers.
These people would tell those geniuses who are building their worldview, "You just need to do this one thing well, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
This led to a gradual deviation in their personalities.
Too arrogant, too withdrawn.
These are all manifestations of deviation.
Jiang Cheng, however, was not like that at all. His personality was sometimes silent and sometimes humble and polite.
He takes scientific research very seriously, but in life he is just a normal young man.
Personality is sometimes one of the factors that determine success or failure.
The members of the research team deeply understand this point.
When they first joined the group, they thought Jiang was a tyrant who had the final say and did not allow any disobedience.
As you get to know them better, your perception completely changes.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Get back to me when you find the right person. I want to go and see for myself."
Jiang Cheng rubbed his temples, feeling slightly tired.
He doesn't really like the feeling of being in meetings; he feels more relaxed in the lab or when he's alone.
"But you have to be fast enough. You should remember what I said before."
After he finished speaking, Professor Zhong waved his hand, announcing the end of the meeting.
A number came to mind for everyone.
"Ten days."
With only ten days left until the one-month deadline initially promised by Jiangcheng, the process is stalled if a suitable candidate cannot be found soon.
It's hard to guarantee that it won't exceed his promise.
After the meeting ended, everyone left the room one after another.
Feng Zhen and Zhong Lao exchanged a glance but said nothing.
Having overcome countless arduous obstacles, we're just one step away from success. How could we possibly be stopped now?
Now all we need to do is wait patiently.
Jiang Cheng returned to his dormitory. Professor Zhong took care of him because he was often so busy with scientific research that he didn't eat.
The research institute's cafeteria closes if you go too late.
So they specially set aside a small living room, and canteen staff would deliver food there every day for three meals a day.
When he returned to the living room, Luo Xiaoli sat cross-legged on the carpet next to the sofa, holding Xiao Bi in her arms. She played with her hair at her temples with her slender hands, waiting listlessly for her brother to come back.
"Brother, you're back so early today!" Xiao Li immediately gave him a bright smile upon seeing him, gently biting her moist lips.
After Jiang Cheng sat down, she couldn't help but cross her legs and wiggle her hips, quietly moving closer to him.
"Well, there's nothing else after the meeting. What should we eat for lunch?"
"Cola chicken wings and rice, and a stir-fried mushroom and pork dish delivered from the cafeteria."
"good."
Jiang Cheng also sat down.
Although it's called a living room, the space is still a bit cramped. After all, this is a research institute, not a home, so the conditions are already quite good.
