Chapter 678: I Can Support Them (Two Chapters Combined)
The two returned to Beijing without telling anyone else. When they arrived at the Gu family home, it was very quiet.
“It seems that Grandpa and Grandma are still at the farm. After I put the things down, I’ll go to the laboratory in the courtyard. What about you?” Gu Yin asked as they walked into the courtyard.
Chu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to the company for a short meeting, and I'll pick you up when I come back." It would also be a good opportunity to distribute the tasks I received during this trip.
Gu Yin nodded: "Okay."
After telling the aunt that dinner would be extra for the two of them, the two of them went about their own business without resting after putting down their luggage.
After returning to the courtyard house, Gu Yin tidied up her belongings and looked at the schedule. She applied to her superiors to conduct an eye experiment for Li Li. Everything was ready, so she didn't need to get involved anymore. The experiment could be shelved for the time being, and she would focus on the medical field from now on.
After submitting the application, Gu Yin stored all the important equipment in the Sumeru Mustard Seed. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she checked the time and, finding it was still early, took a car to the hospital.
When I arrived at the research center, Fang Chongmin had just come out of his office.
His eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yin, and he said happily, "Boss is back? When did you arrive?"
Gu Yin waved: "I just got back. I'm going to change my coat and disinfect it. You can come with me to see the volunteers later, and we can talk as we walk."
"OK!"
After Gu Yin went inside, Fang Chongmin returned to his office, took the documents, and waited outside the door.
Gu Yin came out, reached out her hand, and the document was in her hand.
As he walked, he flipped through the pages: "Was the experiment successful? Were there any abnormalities?"
Fang Chongmin chimed in: "Everything is going smoothly. The volunteers in Phase I are in stable condition with no side effects! Phase II is also progressing smoothly. Those who were critically ill and unable to eat or get out of bed are all out of danger! They are still taking their medication on time. Phase III can begin!"
After reviewing the documents, Gu Yin nodded, noting that the data was stable. "Once those critically ill patients are weaned off the medical equipment, we will begin Phase III clinical trials. All the experimental data from this period will be sent to my email. After I compile it, I will apply to the higher-ups."
Fang Chongmin excitedly said, "Okay!" Once the three-phase treatment begins, it means that the drug is qualified to be marketed. However, because of the importance of the drug, it will be marketed on a small scale, possibly only in two or three cities. After the three-phase treatment, patients will be followed up for six months. If there are no side effects, or if the side effects do not affect a person's life, then the drug can be marketed on a large scale!
Once that step is reached, the experiment will be completely complete!
Others would spend seven or eight years, or even never, to do such an experiment, but Gu Yin succeeded in just one year!! How could he not be excited?!
Upon entering the private ward, the patients were initially taken aback when they saw Gu Yin, but they only realized what was happening when they saw Fang Chongmin enter with her, looking at her with great respect.
"It's Miss Zhou! What brings you here? Please have a seat!"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "I came to check on you. How are you? Is anything bothering you? Can you eat and sleep well? Are you still in pain?"
When this person first arrived here, he was not in a good mental state and was covered in all sorts of life-saving equipment. His family had given up on him, but after learning about this place, they asked the director of the hospital to help them register. Gu Yin also knew about this.
"Excellent! Apart from being a little weak and having some difficulty going up and down stairs, I feel exactly the same as when I was healthy! Miss Zhou! You are truly a living Hua Tuo! You are our savior! Without your experiment, I wouldn't be here now! The people next door are the same; they went from being unconscious and pale, almost to the brink of death, to being able to take care of themselves! They can eat, drink, and sleep like normal people, and they even have a future! We don't know how to thank you enough!"
Seeing that his complexion had indeed regained some color and he looked much more energetic, Gu Yin nodded and said, "Your greatest gratitude to me is to recover well and live a good life! You are still in the treatment stage, so try to eat light and nutritious food. The weakness is only temporary. After you recover, go home and rest for a while, or ask a doctor to prescribe a diet plan."
Hearing things from Gu Yin about what would happen after she recovered always gave me a sense of reassurance.
After leaving the room, Gu Yin went to other wards and later saw Wen Xin and Zhao Qingqing.
After observing all the volunteers, which took more than two hours, Gu Yin returned to the office and explained the plan to the others.
"Organize the materials and data and send them to me. After I've done that, I'll apply for the Phase III trial."
Everyone nodded in unison: "Yes, boss!"
It was already dark when she came out, and Gu Yin saw Chu Yan's car at the hospital entrance.
To avoid disappointment when she went to the courtyard house, she had already sent a message to Chu Yan when she arrived at the hospital, and she had also informed the local authorities when she was preparing to return.
"When did you arrive?" Gu Yin asked as she fastened her seatbelt as she got into the car.
Chu Yan handed a cup of milk tea to Gu Yin: "I saw a lot of people buying it, and they said it tastes good, so I got you a cup. It's still warm, have a taste. I've been here for about an hour, but I haven't been idle. I've just finished my work and am heading home?"
Gu Yin took the milk tea, took a big gulp, and nodded: "Let's go home! This milk tea tastes good, it's rich in milk and tea flavor, not greasy or overly sweet, have a sip."
After the car started, Gu Yin handed it over. Chu Yan lowered his head, took a sip, and nodded: "The taste is indeed good. No wonder there are so many people. I bought a small cup to save room for dinner when we get back."
The two of them finished the milk tea when they returned to the Gu residence.
Upon entering the house, Gu Yin was surprised to see her whole family there. "You're all home at this hour? Have you eaten yet?"
The old lady got up and took Gu Yin's bag: "Knowing you were coming back, I wouldn't eat first! Goodness, you've lost weight again! Have you not been eating properly?!"
Li Mengxin stepped forward, squeezed her daughter's wrist, and frowned: "You've lost weight! Is the experiment very tiring? Can your body handle it?"
Gu Yin smiled and linked arms with the two of them: "I've only lost a little weight, mainly because I miss Grandma's cooking! I don't enjoy eating out! I'm in great health! Don't worry about that! If I couldn't keep going, I would definitely give up and not do anything! I'm not one to suffer losses!"
The old lady laughed in exasperation: "Yes, you're the kind of person who doesn't stand to be taken advantage of, so no one around you dares to force you to eat! This has now been reported to us! When things get busy, you don't sleep for three days and two nights, and you eat irregularly, sometimes hungry and sometimes full. You didn't have this bad habit before. You would always sit at the table on time for meals, but now, you won't eat unless someone reminds you!"
Gu Yin felt guilty; who would remember her if she were so busy!
"No, I just forget sometimes! Oh dear, I'm so hungry! Is the food ready? I want to eat Grandma's cooking!"
The old man had just come from the kitchen and, upon hearing this, smiled and said, "It's all ready! Wash your hands and we can eat!"
Gu Yin quickly let go of the two of them: "I'll go get the dishes!" After finishing her meal, she ran to the kitchen.
Chu Yan went along with them.
The old lady and Li Mengxin shook their heads helplessly.
At the dinner table, Gu Yin's bowl was constantly filled with food; people were picking food out of her bowl, and Chu Yan was doing the same.
After dinner, Gu Yin saw that everyone had moved to the living room, clearly wanting to continue their previous conversation. Gu Yin tugged at Chu Yan, telling him to find something to do, and the two of them left.
Chu Yan said in a low voice, "Gu Hua isn't here. Didn't Grandma just say she was busy with her assessment? Go and bring her some food. Auntie has already packed the food. I saw Uncle Gu go to put on his coat."
Gu Yin's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the lunchbox from the aunt's hand, saying to Gu Qingming, "Uncle, I need to talk to Ahua about something! I'll bring her lunch, so you don't need to go!"
After saying that, he grabbed Chu Yan and quickly walked towards the door.
The old lady shook her head: "Walk slowly! Don't fall!"
Li Mengxin laughed in exasperation: "You don't even say anything about her, but you're quick to run away!"
The car drove all the way to Huaqiao University. It was the weekend, and the gates were open. After Gu Yin registered at the gate, the car entered the campus.
"I'll ask her where she is." When the car arrived at the dormitory building, Gu Yin called Gu Hua.
The call was answered quickly.
"Where's the painting? I've brought you your food!"
"I'm over here in the teaching building. Where are you? I'll come over! The dormitory? Okay, I'll head over right away!" Gu Hua hung up the phone and put her textbooks and test papers into her bag.
Then, looking apologetically at the person next to him, he said, "Senior Chen, my family came to see me, so I have to go over there. I'll finish the rest of the case analysis when I get back tonight and send it to you then. If I don't get back tonight, I'll send it to you tomorrow! Is that okay?"
Chen Jishen, who was standing next to him, smiled and nodded: "It's alright, go ahead. We'll keep in touch by phone later. Be careful on the road. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
Gu Hua smiled and nodded: "Then I'll go first! You should go home early too! Don't stay out too late!" After saying that, she picked up her schoolbag and quickly went downstairs.
After everyone left, Chen Jishen packed his things, turned off the lights, and went back to his dormitory.
As soon as I entered the dormitory, my roommates looked over.
One of the roommates, A, raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Hey, wasn't the class monitor supposed to be with his girlfriend? How come he's back so soon?"
Chen Jishen put down his schoolbag, poured a glass of water, and said in a deep voice, "Watch your words. She's not his girlfriend yet. Don't ruin her reputation."
The person laughed and shook their head: "Class monitor, your progress is too slow! It's been half a semester and you still haven't won her over? Does she even know how you feel? You're always accompanying her to large lectures or helping her save seats in the library, studying with her in the evenings, inviting her to join clubs, and doing charity work on weekends. But your way of pursuing her is quite unique—you don't go to movies, go shopping, buy gifts, send flowers, etc.!"
After finishing his water, Chen Jishen glanced at the man and said, "We're all students. Those things aren't suitable for us. A good relationship should be about mutual growth, not these superficial things. You're single, you wouldn't understand."
Roommate A threw a pillow at him: "...Is this a personal attack? Fine, fine, I don't understand! I'll see when you can catch up!"
Chen Jishen smiled and accepted it without saying anything.
Liang Chen: "Ah Shen, I heard that Gu Hua, my junior, is also from Beijing?"
Chen Jishen shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't asked. I don't think so. I originally wanted her to intern at my studio this summer, but she said she wanted to go back to her hometown, which is in the southwest, not Beijing."
Liang Chen raised an eyebrow: "You really like it that much?"
Chen Jishen glanced at him: "Nonsense."
Liang Chen: "Tsk tsk tsk, this is not easy for you. If the junior is a local from Beijing, it would be fine, but she's from out of town. Will your parents agree?"
Chen Jishen's parents are both lawyers, and partners in a famous law firm in Beijing. They are very well-known, wealthy, and highly educated. They value marriage between people of similar social standing, so he felt that Chen Jishen's relationship was a bit uncertain.
Chen Jishen took out his change of clothes and scoffed, "The partner I chose wasn't chosen by them, so I don't need their approval. Besides, my parents aren't that old-fashioned. They like hardworking people. Ahua got into Huada University from the southwest, which is enough to prove her hard work. She's kind, compassionate, resilient, and neither arrogant nor humble. My parents definitely like her. What you're worried about won't happen. Even if it does, it's fine. We won't live together anyway. I have my own studio. I'm capable enough to support a family. Don't worry, these aren't problems. The most important thing now is when I can finally win her over. Sigh."
After saying that, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Roommate A looked at Liang Chen: "What do we do when Ai Yutian comes back?"
Liang Chen rolled her eyes: "What's wrong with him? It's Chen's business who he likes. We're all friends, so let's not meddle in his affairs. Ai's sister has been pursuing him for three years. If Chen really cared, they would have been together long ago. To be honest, Ai is really something. Chen has rejected him so many times, and I even asked him to talk to his sister, but Ai didn't say a word! Humph, Ai Yutian has his own little schemes, so just leave it alone. Don't make Chen angry later. Chen isn't an easy person to get along with!"
