26
When we arrived at the hospital, there were quite a few people standing at the door of the ward.
Xiao Mingyang knows them all, they are from the company's board of directors. It seems that grandpa is really seriously ill this time.
He greeted everyone and saw his father sitting on a chair in the corridor.
He walked up quickly and asked, "How is it?"
"Your grandpa hasn't woken up yet. This time he has a lung problem." Dad pointed to the place next to him.
Xiao Mingyang sat next to his father: "Is there no danger to his life?"
"Not yet."
"Where is Liu Jichang?" Xiao Mingyang asked.
"It's been taken care of. In a few days, when he's better and Dad is almost recovered, his family will organize a banquet and make a public apology."
Xiao Mingyang nodded: "Where are the others?"
"Your uncle went to pay the bills. Your mother and aunt went back to get some food and put away some things. Your uncle had something to do and went to the rooftop to answer the phone."
Xiao Mingyang's mouth twitched: "My mom? Make food? Is that edible?"
Dad knocked his head and said, "Come in and see grandpa."
"I'm really convinced," Xiao Mingyang rubbed his precious head, "Can you change the place next time? You hit me on the head every time. What should I do if I become stupid?"
Dad: "It's a blessing to be stupid."
Xiao Mingyang: "..."
Fools have good fortune, right?
Xiao Mingyang snorted: "I don't want to play with you anymore, I'm going to find grandpa!"
Grandpa hasn't woken up yet. He is lying flat on the bed, wearing a breathing mask and the heart rate monitor is beeping.
Xiao Mingyang walked to the bed, took a photo of the form with the patient's information, and sent it to Xiao Dayang.
[Yang] The symptoms are the same as those of that year.
Xiao Mingyang sat on the chair in front of his grandfather's bed.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] Is there any way?
An email was sent from the other side.
[Yang] This is Professor Lucas Carter's email address. Shortly after my grandfather passed away, he launched a related treatment plan and has a successful case. Now, please discuss it with your family as soon as possible and send him an email to join his project.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] How many times did his clinical trials succeed?
【Yang】The third time.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] If we join now, how many times will it be counted as joining?
【Yang】The second time.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] Isn’t that just walking into the muzzle of a gun?
[Yang] I studied his paper that year. There are some differences between the third and first time, but not much. You can mention it in the email.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] Me? Writing an email?
[The most handsome guy in the universe] ber, are you kidding me? My English level is only around 80 points now!
[Yang] I didn't ask you to write it. Even if you wrote it, people wouldn't understand it. Machine translation may not convey the meaning. You should go find Aze.
[The most handsome guy in the universe] OK.
Xiao Mingyang sent the screenshot to Li Xiangze, who replied almost instantly.
【泽】No problem.
[Ze] I need to look at the specific paper. I have no experience in this area, so it may take a long time.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] It’s okay, I’ll ask him to find it.
He cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and sent a voice message: "Thank you, baby."
There were two words replied.
【泽】Don't pinch.
Xiao Mingyang looked at his grandfather and went to the balcony.
She continued to speak in a low voice: "Baby, don't you like my amazing subwoofer?"
[Ze]...
【Ze】Oil
[The most handsome guy in the universe] Ohhhhh.
【泽】Go and get the documents quickly.
Xiao Dayang acted quickly and sent it over soon, and Xiao Mingyang forwarded it immediately.
【泽】Received.
Xiao Mingyang gave a brief account of the situation here.
[The most handsome guy in the universe] Ranran usually goes to bed at 9:00, so remember not to let her play too late.
【泽】When will you come back?
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] Grandpa hasn't woken up yet, and he probably won't be back tonight.
Xiao Mingyang was so happy that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Universe] Do you miss me?
【泽】Yeah.
[The most handsome guy in the universe] I miss you too.
The balcony door suddenly opened, and my mother's cheesy voice came from behind: "Hey, did you have a good chat with Xiaoze?"
Xiao Mingyang was so frightened that he jumped up: "Mom!"
"It's only been a short time since you two last met. Do you miss me that much?" Yan Qi's eyes fell on the back of his neck. "Hey, you two guys had a lot of fun. You even pinched your necks until they were bruised."
Xiao Mingyang quickly covered the back of his neck, his face flushed red as he said, "Are you annoying?"
"Come and have dinner." My uncle leaned against the balcony door frame, the smile on his face still warm.
"You guys eat, I've already eaten." Xiao Mingyang said immediately.
His mother knew what he was thinking and patted him on the back: "It wasn't me."
This is the meal cooked by my uncle’s mother.
Xiao Mingyang licked his lips and said, "Let's go!"
For fear of disturbing grandpa, the whole family ate on chairs in the hospital corridor.
The corridor was quiet; the board members had been asked to leave.
There was no need to observe at the dinner table today. Xiao Mingyang ate very leisurely and didn't listen to what the adults were talking about at all.
Only after dinner did I remember the task Xiao Dayang had assigned me.
He wiped his mouth and cleared his throat: "Dad, Mom, Uncle, Mom, and Uncle, I have something to tell you."
Everyone fell silent and looked at him.
"My friend has recently become interested in medicine and has read a lot of papers. He just happened to have come across a case of Grandpa's illness. There's a professor abroad named Lucas Carter who specializes in this area, and the case has now entered its second round of clinical trials. Do you want Grandpa to try it?"
"Lucas Carter?" Mom frowned at him.
Xiao Mingyang puffed out his chest: "Well, is there any problem?"
Dad nodded: "I'll ask my friend."
After saying that, he went to make a phone call.
My uncle's mother nudged my uncle and said, "This Normal School Affiliated High School is really good."
Uncle nodded: "I hope Ranran can pass the exam."
"Of course you can," said my mother, "Xiao Ranran is so smart."
"Yangyang, who is the friend you are talking about?" asked my uncle.
Xiao Mingyang touched his nose and said, "My deskmate is amazing! He's ranked first in the grade! He told me that his dream is to become a great angel in white."
Yan Qi narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
Xiao Mingyang smiled awkwardly and puffed out his chest again: "Really!"
"Is it your foster brother?" The uncle became interested.
There was a gleam in my uncle and aunt's eyes.
After all, this kid has been very competitive since he was young, and he is the first child that he admires so much.
Only his mother looked at him calmly.
Xiao Mingyang looked at the gentleness in his uncle's eyes and swallowed the endless praise: "Yes."
Dad came back, frowning, "I just asked my friend. That doctor's research is quite famous in the industry, but the results of his first phase of clinical trials were not very obvious."
"But," Xiao Mingyang looked at his father, "if we don't give it a try, there will always be a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads."
Xiao Zhe looked at his son, nodded slowly after a while, and looked at the others: "What do you think?"
"If the experiment fails, will it harm Dad's health?" asked my aunt.
"Not at the moment," Xiao Zhe said, "My friend's students are currently following up on the physical condition of the first-stage patients."
"I'll ask Dad for his opinion when the time comes. I think we can give it a try," said the uncle.
"I agree with what my elder brother said." The uncle nodded.
"I think it's okay." Mom raised her hand in agreement.
"I think so too," said my aunt.
"I second the motion!" Xiao Mingyang also raised his hand.
"Okay, then let's wait until Dad wakes up."
＊
Grandpa woke up in the early morning, and everyone was relieved after the doctor on duty came to check and found that nothing was wrong.
"I told you I'm fine," said Grandpa, who was very stubborn and refused to be helped to sit up. He looked very strenuous. "It's getting late now. You guys should go back and get some rest. Come back tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry," the uncle brought a pillow and cushioned Grandpa's waist, "Dad, we have something to discuss with you."
Grandpa nodded and slowly leaned forward.
The uncle briefly explained the situation and looked at Grandpa: "Would you like to give it a try?"
Grandpa smiled and shook his head: "My old bones can't stand such a torment."
"How can you be old?" Xiao Mingyang went up to hold his grandfather's hand. "I see that you are only in your 50s and you can still practice Tai Chi!"
Grandpa was amused: "You are the only one who talks sweetly."
"Well," he hugged his grandfather, "Grandpa, just go and try it. You can also go abroad to play. You never went with us when we went abroad before. Now is a good time to experience it."
Grandpa looked at Xiao Mingyang with a smile, and finally gave in: "I'll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow. You can go back to sleep first."
Xiao Mingyang nodded his head like a rattle: "You guys go back, go back!"
"Aren't you going back?" Grandpa looked at him.
Xiao Mingyang said as a matter of course: "I'm here with you, otherwise you'd be so bored alone."
Grandpa patted him on the back and said, "You should come back too. You're still growing. You won't grow taller if you don't get enough sleep!"
"It's high enough," Xiao Mingyang chuckled. "If we go any higher, the air will be thinner. What if we get altitude sickness?"
Grandpa was amused again: "You are the only one who can talk!" Grandpa waved his hand, "You guys can go now. If you need anything, I will call Yangyang."
Before leaving, my parents gave me a few more instructions before they left with peace of mind.
Xiao Mingyang helped his grandfather lie down and sat on the chair beside the bed.
Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by her grandfather: "I know you want to persuade me, but Yangyang, this matter is not as simple as you think."
Xiao Mingyang thought for a moment and said, "Can't you let go of the company?"
"No, your father can now take over completely. I still believe in his ability...but we have to treat everyone equally."
Grandpa turned to look at him and continued, "You should have heard most of the speech the other day." He took Xiao Mingyang's hand and said, "Your uncle is very competitive and sensitive. He has always loved competing with his two brothers, especially Xiao Zhe. They are not much different in age, and they are always assigned to the same group in various competitions. In my opinion, both children are very motivated and amazing."
Grandpa sighed, "But the elder brother started earlier than the younger brother, and he always surpassed him. He always felt very strong, but he always fell short, so he felt very uncomfortable and always made trouble for his brother.
When he was little, he used a pencil to draw on his homework book. You know your dad's temper, so he just quietly erased it with an eraser. Later, he used crayons. Your dad talked to him once, and after that, the relationship between the two brothers became much more harmonious. But they still fought openly and secretly.
Grandpa pursed his lips and said, "But if I hand over the entire company to your father now, your uncle will definitely feel unbalanced. So I think it would be better to wait until your uncle's company is stable and the two brothers can manage it together."
Xiao Mingyang nodded: "Grandpa, have you ever thought about hiring someone to manage it?"
Grandpa was stunned for a moment.
