Guan Honghou slapped his forehead repeatedly, secretly cursing himself for having a stupid brain, wondering why he didn't think of asking Teacher Xiao Dai.
He was like a headless fly, busying around for two months, anxious and irritated all day long, unable to eat or sleep, and even had a boil on his mouth.
In the end, after searching everywhere for a miracle cure, the one that worked for you was right next to you.
"Teacher Xiao Dai, what is the success rate of your special medicine?"
Guan Honghou was of course very happy to have a special medicine, but he was more afraid that Teacher Xiaodai's special medicine would be like the blocking drug and there was a certain probability of failure.
He is old and cannot withstand the repeated blows.
Dai Li: "The special medicine I developed has a 100% success rate."
"That's great!" Guan Honghou slapped his thigh excitedly. The sound was so clear and loud that even Dai Li on the other end of the phone could hear it.
Dai Li: "But I don't have any medicine right now. Please wait for a few days. I will call you when I have the medicine."
Guan Honghou quickly agreed. As long as Guan Chengliang had an effective medicine, it wouldn't be too late even if it took several weeks, let alone a few days.
After finishing the business, Dai Li was about to hang up the phone when Guan Honghou called her.
Just like before, he rubbed his hands together and asked cheerfully, "Teacher Xiao Dai, what is the new project you just mentioned? Tell me in detail."
It is hard to imagine that someone who had no interest in the project ten minutes ago and said that money is something outside of one's body suddenly developed a different kind of passion for making money.
Dai Li: "Let's talk about the project later. Is Mr. Guan in the mood to talk business now?"
Guan Honghou: "Yes, of course I have. I'm going to get moldy after handing over the group's work. Now is the time for me to show my skills. I want to talk business."
Guan Honghou was fully recovered. After discussing the new project with Dai Li, he immediately arranged tasks within the group and took back all the power he had handed over.
Then he drove to the school to pick up his son, ready to take him out for a big meal and tell him the good news.
Guan Chengliang usually lives on campus and only returns to his family's big villa on weekends. Usually, he only goes back when his father returns from a business trip and calls him.
He likes socializing and is popular in the department and dormitory.
But after he got into trouble, his classmates' attitude towards him also changed quietly.
Few people knew about his brave act, but the suspect's malicious spread of HIV was so bad that it made the news.
Although the news blurred the information of key figures, some people still found out based on clues that the person who bravely stepped forward to help others was Guan Chengliang.
There is rarely any big news on campus, but if something new happens, it will be known to everyone.
Everyone sympathized with Guan Chengliang, saying that he was unlucky because he did good things, which was really tragic.
No one discriminated against him openly or talked about him to his face, but discrimination in behavior could not be concealed.
When taking professional courses, classmates would try their best to find a seat farther away from him. They would rather sit in the first row than sit next to Guan Chengliang.
Classmates who used to eat with him often would find various reasons not to go to the cafeteria with him.
The alumni who used to invite him to play ball suddenly stopped inviting him.
Guan Chengliang seemed to be isolated at school.
His classmates also know that ordinary social interaction will not transmit HIV, but they still cannot get rid of the fear of HIV in their hearts.
Even in the most normal social interactions, accidents can happen. Once an accident happens and you are unfortunately infected, your life will be ruined.
This is an incurable disease.
Anyway, they just stayed away from Guan Chengliang and didn't do anything harmful, so no one thought they were doing anything wrong.
After class today, Guan Chengliang went downstairs alone again.
At first he would wait for his classmates, but later he found that they were avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, so he stopped making himself miserable.
Guan Chengliang is a straightforward person and not a pretentious person. If everyone stays away from him, he will not come closer.
He also often heard people talking about him secretly, and thought he couldn't hear them.
Today, two more people walked behind him and whispered.
"Isn't that him you were talking about before?"
"Yeah, you've seen the news, right? That guy stabbed him in the arm with a knife."
"She was pretty, what a shame."
"That's right. There were a few girls in our department who liked him before. They went to watch him play basketball every day. But after his accident, none of them have left. They all avoid him when they see him."
"Even if it were me, I wouldn't dare to like him. Who would dare to jump into the abyss when they know it's a trap?"
"But that's not necessarily true. It seems his family is quite wealthy. The car his father drove on the first day of school was one of only two in the country. And the license plates, two sixes and two eights, no ordinary person could afford it."
"Wouldn't that mean I'd lose my competitiveness in their wealthy family and have no chance of becoming an heir?"
"There's definitely no way I can inherit the family business. I can only hand over this huge fortune to others."
The two young girls had already imagined a secret of the wealthy family and expressed deep sympathy for Guan Chengliang.
They were both discussing enthusiastically when Guan Chengliang suddenly turned around.
"You are wrong. I am the only one in my family. No matter what I become, my father's property is mine."
The gossip behind the person's back was heard by the two girls, who were so embarrassed that they couldn't speak.
Fortunately, Guan Chengliang did not make things difficult for them. He just said one sentence and turned around and left.
The two girls were left blaming each other.
"It's all your fault. You spoke so loudly that people heard you."
"What do you mean I have a loud voice? It was you who started it."
The two of them shrank their necks guiltily, and then looked at Guan Chengliang's back.
"He doesn't look miserable at all. I think he's quite optimistic and has a good personality. He wasn't even angry with us."
"What can we do if he's not optimistic? He won't get better no matter how much he complains."
At this time, a black car turned in from the main road at the main gate, and one of the girls noticed the license plate with her sharp eyes.
"Look, isn't that the car you were talking about? 6688."
Guan Honghou's car drove past them hurriedly, attracting countless people to look back.
The girl sighed and said, "It's indeed a luxury car. Your classmate must be from a wealthy family."
Another shrugged: "It's a pity that no amount of money can cure his illness."
Suddenly, the two of them were no longer so envious of Guan Chengliang's wealthy family background.
When Guan Chengliang returned to the dormitory, his roommate was calling the dormitory manager, saying that he wanted to change dormitories.
Roommate: "Teacher, I'm preparing for the CET-4 exam. My current dormitory is too noisy. I want to move to another dormitory."
I don’t know what the dormitory supervisor across the street said, but he probably didn’t agree.
Roommate: "I heard that Building 8 isn't full. Can't I move there?"
His roommate tried to persuade him, but the dormitory supervisor still didn't agree, so he hung up the phone in frustration.
Roommate number two said, "I already said I won't switch with you. The more it gets late, the less likely the dorm supervisor will agree."
If the dormitory supervisor changed their dormitories, it would be blatant discrimination against Guan Chengliang. If the news were to be spread online, the dormitory supervisor's job would be in jeopardy and the school would also be in trouble.
Roommate No. 3: "No matter what the reason, it's hard to change dorms."
Roommate No. 1: "What should we do? Are you going to live with Guan Chengliang forever? Aren't you afraid of getting infected?"
They will live in the same dormitory with Guan Chengliang for four years. If Guan Chengliang takes their toothbrush by mistake, uses their razor by mistake, or accidentally scratches a corner and causes bleeding, they will be in danger.
Roommate No. 2: "Why shouldn't I be afraid? My family is urging me to change dorms every day."
Roommate No. 1: "Me too. He calls me several times a day, asking if I've changed dorms."
Roommate No. 3: "My parents said I couldn't change my dorm room, so they asked me to rent a house outside."
Roommate No. 1: "That's great. Let's rent a three-bedroom apartment together. We can each have a room, just like in the dorm."
Roommate number three: "Sure, I have an appointment with the agent to look at a house tomorrow, you guys can come with me."
The three roommates were chatting enthusiastically when Guan Chengliang pushed open the door and came in from outside. The dormitory suddenly became silent.
In the dead silent dormitory, the only sound could be heard as Guan Chengliang walked into the room and put his backpack on his desk.
"You guys stay in the dormitory. I'll move out today."
Guan Chengliang never knew that his roommates were secretly worried about changing dormitories. He was not a person who wanted to cause trouble for others. If they had brought it up directly, he would have moved out long ago.
Roommate No. 1 explained awkwardly, "Guan Chengliang, we don't have any other intentions."
Guan Chengliang: "I understand, and I don't blame you."
During this period of time, he also saw the warmth and coldness of human nature in the world, and gradually became indifferent. There was no need to force others to accept him.
The roommates all lowered their heads at the same time and did not look at Guan Chengliang. They felt embarrassed that their dark side was exposed, but also a little relieved.
It would definitely be better for Guan Chengliang to move out alone than for the three of them to move out, but they were just too embarrassed to say it.
Guan Chengliang started packing his things by himself, and freed up one hand to send a message to his father, asking him to ask someone to help him move his things.
Several roommates looked at each other and felt uncomfortable.
Since they entered the school, they have been getting along very well with Guan Chengliang and they are close friends.
Guan Chengliang also promised to help them buy "XIU" mobile phones and constant temperature clothing, and even agreed to go to Guan Chengliang's family group for an internship during the winter vacation to earn some pocket money.
To be honest, they also don't want to see Guan Chengliang infected with HIV. Now that things have come to this, they are afraid, and their parents are afraid too. It is only natural.
In the awkward atmosphere, the roommate hesitated and spoke: "Guan Chengliang, I hope you don't misunderstand us. In fact, we don't want you to move out of the dormitory."
"But we are really worried, and it's hard to explain to our families."
Guan Chengliang packed his things and said without turning his head, "I was inconsiderate. My dad wanted me to move back home before, but I insisted on living in school. I made you worry and caused you trouble."
He thought he could continue his campus life as usual, but found that for him now, "usual" was a luxury.
The peaceful campus life has left him far away. He is now a member of a special minority and has been labeled for life.
Guan Honghou happened to walk to the door of his son's dormitory. When he heard these words, he felt very upset.
Guan Chengliang always acted nonchalant in front of him and described the people in the school in a particularly good light.
It's not that he didn't worry about Guan Chengliang being ostracized at school and in the dormitory, but Guan Chengliang was very confident in his classmates and roommates, saying that they were all people with higher education and knew that HIV was not that scary if they took proper precautions.
As a result, the thing he was most worried about happened in a place he couldn't see.
Guan Honghou pushed the door open without thinking.
Guan Chengliang was stunned when he saw his father: "Dad, why are you so fast?"
It took less than two minutes for his message to be sent.
Guan Honghou: "I'm here to pick you up for dinner. Leave your things here. I'll have my secretary collect them for you."
So Guan Chengliang only packed electronic products into his backpack.
"Why did you come all the way to pick me up for dinner?"
Guan Honghou: "By the way, I have another good news for you."
"Good news? What good news?" Guan Chengliang is not interested in any good news now, nor does he think that any good news can make him happy.
Guan Honghou first glanced at Guan Chengliang's roommate, then said to his son with a smile: "Dad found a special medicine for you."
The roommates were startled by Guan Honghou's look.
They still remember that when Guan Chengliang first entered the school, his father personally sent him there. From his father's aura, it was obvious that he was a big boss.
That day, they rode in a luxury car for the first time in their lives, went to the high-end membership-only Xitu Lanya restaurant, and received a big red envelope from Guan Chengliang's father.
Guan Chengliang's father did not show off. He just wanted to give something better as a gift to his son's classmates, hoping that the classmates would take care of Guan Chengliang.
His sincerity and genuine care during the conversation made Guan Chengliang's roommates feel warm.
But not now.
The look in Guan Chengliang's father's eyes was filled with coldness.
It made them even more ashamed.
"Another special medicine." Guan Chengliang was overwhelmed when he heard the word special medicine.
His father used to pay the most attention to health preservation. There was a room in his house full of health supplements, which were either given by others or bought by himself. He could not finish them in ten lifetimes.
Now his father is most concerned about the special medicine for HIV. He asks around at home and abroad. No matter how much it costs, as long as he hears that it is a special medicine for HIV, he will buy it for his family, without caring whether it is effective or not.
Seeing that he didn't care at all, Guan Honghou slapped him on the butt: "This time it's different!"
Guan Chengliang rolled his eyes: "Did they cheat me out of more money this time?"
"You only know how to talk nonsense." Guan Honghou wanted to hit him again, but he forced himself to hold back and whispered in his ear, "This time the special medicine is from Teacher Xiao Dai."
Guan Chengliang's indifferent expression suddenly changed and he became serious.
"You mean De——"
Guan Honghou quickly covered his mouth.
It is enough for them to know who it is. Dai Li's name cannot be known to others. This is a rule agreed upon with Dai Li.
Guan Honghou grinned complacently: "Now you believe what your father said."
Guan Chengliang's eyes hadn't sparked with life in a long time. "Dad, you're really capable. How did you convince Teacher Dai to give you the special medicine?"
Guan Honghou snorted: "Just based on the friendship between your father and Teacher Xiao Dai, Teacher Xiao Dai would take the initiative to help me without me even asking."
He thought Guan Chengliang was going to praise him, but he didn't know that Guan Chengliang's idol was Dai Li.
"She even has a special medicine. She is worthy of being my goddess. She is so amazing."
Guan Honghou was a little disappointed that he didn't receive praise from his son, but he had no complaints about losing to Dai Li.
Guan Chengliang installed his digital products and quickly left with his father without even saying goodbye to his roommates.
Guan Chengliang and his son left for a long time, and there was still no one talking in the dormitory. Everyone was doing their own things silently.
Finally, someone broke the silence: "What is this miracle drug that Guan Chengliang's father mentioned?"
"It seems to be a specific drug for HIV, that's what they said."
"There's no cure for AIDS. It's been incurable. If a cure were ever developed, wouldn't it be all over the news?"
"But I think Guan Chengliang and his father are really happy."
"Should it be a drug that can control the condition? For example, it may have more stable efficacy and fewer side effects. Anyway, for Guan Chengliang and others, even a small improvement in the drug can make a completely different experience after taking it."
This view was recognized by everyone.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Guan Chengliang's desk.
Now his desk is empty and his computer is no longer visible.
Guan Chengliang is a very generous person. If their computers are not smooth enough to play games, Guan Chengliang is willing to let them play on his own computer while he uses the tablet to do his homework.
Who knew it would end up in such an embarrassing situation today.
"Didn't Guan Chengliang say he would buy us XIU phones? I guess he won't buy them for us again in the future."
The "XIU" mobile phone was so popular that most people couldn't buy it. There were only two people in the entire department who had one, and one of them was Guan Chengliang.
Guan Chengliang did not agree to buy it for them at the beginning. It was only after everyone got along well and he heard them complaining about not being able to get a mobile phone that he promised to buy it for them.
Given Guan Chengliang's identity, everyone believed that he had the ability to get the phone through his connections.
The roommates were all waiting expectantly.
However, before Guan Chengliang could help buy the phone back, he had an accident and the purchase of the phone was put on hold.
"It's not just the phone, my internship is also ruined."
In the dormitory, three people sighed at the same time.
Less than a week after Guan Chengliang returned home, Guan Honghou received a call from Dai Li, saying that a special medicine had been developed and asked him to take Guan Chengliang to the 993 Hospital.
Guan Chengliang is not the only one waiting for treatment at the 993 Hospital.
One was a female surgeon from the former 993 Hospital, and the other was a police officer.
After the effective drug was developed, Dai Li asked the 993 Hospital and Director Liang whether there was anyone in their system who was accidentally infected with HIV at work.
Anyway, one can be cured, and both can be cured together.
These two industries are prone to accidental infection, and they cooperate more with Dai Li and are more likely to be willing to receive treatment.
Finally, there was one person on each side who was willing to be the first to receive treatment.
Before the treatment, Dai Li told them seriously, "Let me be clear with you. Although I can guarantee the efficacy of the special medicine and that it can cure your HIV, time is very tight. The special medicine has not yet been approved. According to domestic standards, it is in the clinical trial stage. Whether you are willing to be the first batch of testers is up to you."
Guan Chengliang naturally would not have any objection, as he admired Dai Li. Even if he dared to have an objection, his father would beat him until he had no objection.
The other two people did not hesitate at all and both firmly expressed their willingness to receive treatment.
They had thought it through before coming. The accidental infection with HIV had ruined their jobs and turned their lives into a mess. They lived in pain and anxiety every day, taking handfuls of medicine and feeling like vomiting at the sight of it.
Now that there is an opportunity in front of them, no matter if they are being treated as guinea pigs or something else, they are willing to give it a try, no matter how slim the chance is.
According to the rules, they signed a treatment agreement with Dai Li, and the formal treatment was scheduled for the next day.
After signing the agreement, all three of them were very happy, and everyone was very confident in Dai Li's special medicine, especially the female surgeon from the former 993 Hospital.
As a former surgeon at Jiujiusan, she had more or less heard about the bionic organ transplant surgery that Jiujiusan was most proud of. She was extremely envious. If she had not been infected with HIV, she would definitely have been one of them.
When the director told her that it was a special medicine provided by the Bionic Organ Company, she agreed without much thought.
The reason why the policeman agreed was even simpler. It turned out that the leader of the bureau suddenly called him and asked him if he was willing to return to the team.
Is there any need to ask? His dream since he was a child has been to become a policeman.
The leader said that if he wanted to come back, he should go and get his illness cured, and asked him if he was willing to be the first to buy the special V medicine.
Not to mention that he had to force himself to buy the V special medicine for the first batch, he would even be willing to go through fire and water.
Male police officer: "How did you all get infected?"
Guan Chengliang: "I was brave enough to do what was right."
The female surgeon smiled and said, "I saw it on the news. You are very brave."
Guan Chengliang: "Sister Zhang, how did you get infected?"
Zhang Qiushui: "Last year, I treated a patient who had been involved in a fight. While I was stitching him up, he suddenly cried out in pain and struggled. The needle pierced my palm. The patient repeatedly denied having a history of a genetic disease. The next day, the laboratory told me that HIV and hepatitis B were detected in his blood sample."
She smiled bitterly and asked the male police officer, "Officer Yu, how did you get infected?"
Yu Bo waved his hand: "I'm not a police officer anymore, so stop humiliating me."
Guan Chengliang: "Once you are cured, you can still be a policeman."
Yu Bo smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, little brother. As for me, I got infected while on duty. The guy had just gotten high from some ice cream and was still shaking it off when he started hallucinating and said he was a dog and I was a dog thief. He pounced on me and bit me, tearing off a piece of my skin. When he was arrested, he was still unconscious and couldn't be interrogated. When he regained consciousness, he realized he had caused trouble and was so scared that he dared not even fart. Damn, if that guy had told me earlier, I could have taken antiviral drugs."
After communicating with each other, we found that everyone's experience was similar. The carriers were unwilling to confess their medical history, which delayed their best treatment time.
Guan Chengliang: "Just relax and wait for the treatment. My dad said that there is nothing that Teacher Dai can't solve. She is the muse of both father and son."
Dai Li packed up her things and came out, just in time to hear Guan Chengliang's flattery.
She knocked Guan Chengliang on the head with the folder, frowned and said, "What Muse? Stop talking nonsense outside."
Guan Chengliang quickly changed his words: "I will never tell anyone about it again. My father and I keep it in our hearts and revere it."
Dai Li stared at him and didn't bother with him.
She was just about to say hello and leave when someone barged in without warning.
The man's target was Dr. Zhang Qiu Shui.
The man, who was about thirty years old, looked at them warily one by one, then said to Zhang Qiushui with controlled emotion, "Come with me."
Dr. Zhang Qiu Shui apologized to them and followed the man to the fire escape.
After the fire escape door closed, his anger flared up: "What did I tell you before? Why did you still come? Did you still take my words to heart?"
Zhang Qiushui was exhausted from the days of quarreling. She no longer had the energy to continue arguing with him. She said calmly, "I've told you before that this is my own business. I can make the decision myself."
The man sneered. "You make the decision? Even if you make the decision, I'll still be responsible for it. You know this is still an experimental drug. If the side effects make you paralyzed or crazy, I'll still be the one to take care of you."
Zhang Qiushui closed his eyes tiredly: "Don't worry, I will never let you down if anything happens to me. I will bear all the consequences myself."
Her husband said, "You're talking nicely. You're married, and I can't do anything without getting into trouble with you. I told you not to be a doctor. It's exhausting and pays you little. Wouldn't it be better to just stay home and raise children, be a full-time mom? Wouldn't you get AIDS? You wanted to be an independent woman and didn't want to have children early, so I agreed. Now you're infected with AIDS, and you can't have children even if you want to."
Zhang Qiushui knew what he cared about most, and said with a cold face: "So I said, I am willing to divorce, you can go find another one, I will definitely not delay you."
The man was stunned for a moment, then said irritably, "If you're sick, I'll divorce you. What will my friends and family think of me? They'll definitely poke me in the back and say I abandoned my sick wife."
The year he graduated, he was in a car accident and almost became a paraplegic. The doctor said he might become a vegetable. However, Zhang Qiu Shui never thought of leaving him and used her medical knowledge to take good care of him.
Friends and relatives all told him not to let Zhang Qiu Shui down, saying that she had been so good to him, so he should treat her well in the future.
Zhang Qiu Shui didn't despise him because he was paralyzed from the waist down. If he despised Zhang Qiu Shui's illness, how could he hold his head up in front of his relatives and friends in the future?
Zhang Qiushui sneered, "In the final analysis, it's not that you don't want a divorce, it's because of your own reputation, to let people say you're great and for sticking with your wife who has AIDS."
The man, feeling guilty, did not refute immediately. After a moment, he stubbornly retorted, "I never said I wanted a divorce. It was you who was the one who brought it up."
Seeing his guilty look, Zhang Qiu Shui had nothing to say.
At this time, the half-closed fire escape was pushed open.
Dai Li stood in the corridor: "Sorry, I didn't mean to listen to you guys talking, but you guys were so loud that I overheard it while waiting for the elevator."
Zhang Qiushui tucked her hair behind her ears and said awkwardly, "It's okay. I'm sorry that Teacher Dai laughed at me."
Dai Li shook her head slightly and turned to look at Zhang Qiushui's husband: "Just wait until Dr. Zhang recovers before divorcing her. That way, no one will poke you in the back and accuse you of abandoning your sick wife."
