“Honey, yes, this place is very backward, extremely backward, but their medical skills are truly amazing. I personally had someone investigate, and they really can cure diseases without a kidney transplant.”
Charles tried his best to explain to his wife, Sarah.
"Okay, okay, I can choose to believe you, but how should we resolve this situation?"
Sarah had already stood under the car and stretched out her finger to draw a circle.
Charles didn't know how to answer this question; he was really troubled by the current situation.
The person who had been sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but speak up; he was a translator sent by their country's embassy.
"Hi Charles, Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear what you said, but what I'm trying to say is, since you were able to contact the doctor's relative you were looking for before, why don't you try again?"
Charles lowered his head and thought for a moment. He felt that the translator was right. Rather than wasting time here and having to send them to another hospital, he might as well go back to the hotel now and try to contact Shen Yi.
"Karl, could you please tell them we're going back to the hotel? I'll figure out what to do next!"
The translator, named Carl, thought for a moment and nodded: "Have you thought it through, Charles?"
“I’ve thought it through. I brought my wife here because of Li. Now they’re going to change our doctor. We might as well stay in China for treatment. I don’t trust anyone but Li.”
"Okay, now that you're sure, I'll go and negotiate with them."
After saying that, Carl opened the passenger door and got out to find the foreign affairs officer.
Seeing this, Sarah got back into the car.
"Charles, is that Li Zhen really as... amazing as you say?"
“My dear, I have been in this country for quite some time now, and their ancient medical practices certainly have many merits.”
Like the drug I told you about before, the one that supposedly enhances the body's natural abilities. Our company has been researching it here for two years, but we haven't made any progress, and we don't even understand its principles, yet it truly exists.
"Is it the formula that your company spent millions to buy, the one you mentioned before?" Sarah asked, frowning.
"Yes, that's the one."
"Isn't there a recipe? Can't we just make it according to that?"
"No, no, no, I heard John, who was in charge of that project, say that if you make it according to that recipe, the food will kill you."
"What? The formula is fake?"
"The formula is real, but people are different, so the dosage of each medicine in that formula varies from person to person and is not fixed. If you give one person's dosage to another person, it is very likely to cause that person's death."
"Why is this happening? Why not learn how to determine the appropriate dosage for this person?"
"Honey, if it were you, would you let someone else teach you?"
“Uh…” Sarah felt she had asked a stupid question. What business is the most profitable? Of course, it’s a monopoly.
"Is the medicine you're talking about the one that Li invented?"
"Invention? You can understand it that way too."
"Isn't he afraid that others will learn his techniques?"
“In fact, John and his team brought over a lot of people, but there wasn’t even one who could understand it,” Charles said, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, his face full of helplessness.
"You mean you brought in a lot of people, including the doctors from Chinatown?"
"Of course, they brought in several very famous doctors from Chinatown, but unfortunately..."
Well, Sarah, as a senior executive at a listed company, really couldn't figure out why.
Because she knew absolutely nothing about medicine and pharmacy.
By then, the translator, Carl, had returned and got into the car.
"We've talked to them, let's go, back to the Beijing Hotel." The last sentence was said to the driver.
“Charles, just like back home, when doing things here, if you have acquaintances, it’s best to go through them. If you go to their superiors, they might take on the task under pressure, but how do you know they will do their best to handle it? Especially since you need to ask this person to save your life.”
As the car slowly started moving, Carl turned his head and said.
Charles said with a wry smile, "I just think that the requirements for the sinking are too many."
"No, no, no, Charles, you can think about this from a different perspective. What's the difference between this and getting what you pay for?"
The requirements are lower now, that's true, but you can't even see the person in question.
“Sigh,” Charles sighed, “I was really thinking too simply. I thought that as long as I contacted his superior, the problem would be solved.”

"If you can find the right person, it might indeed be very simple, but the problem is that you even found the wrong person's superior."
Charles looked at Carl with a blank expression. What did he mean by "the superiors have all been contacted wrong"?
“I know the Li you’re looking for. He’s a soldier. How could his superior be someone outside the military?”
It was only then that Charles realized that, just like in his country, if you wanted the military to help you with something, the most convenient thing to do was to go directly to the Pentagon.
"Thank you, Carl. I don't want to go to his superiors anymore; I'll just go to his relative."
“Honey, may I ask which of Li’s relatives you’re looking for?” Sarah, who was sitting next to him, interjected.
"Of course, that's his son-in-law, and the factory we're building is under his jurisdiction."
Karl, who was in front of him, couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes. He didn't know how to complain about Charles.
He ruined such a good move.
Was their company serious about sending him over as the project manager?
His wife, Sarah, was anything but polite.
"Honey, is the aftereffect of your head injury three years ago still lingering?"
"What do you mean? It's completely healed." Charles wondered if there was something wrong with him today, why he often couldn't understand what they were saying.
"If you're completely healed, would you really give up such a good relationship and turn around to take the most troublesome path?"
If I were from your head office, I would tell you to pack your bags and go back to China right now, immediately.
Charles wasn't annoyed by his wife's retort; he knew what kind of person she was.
"Honey, I admit I made a mistake this time. I promise I won't make the same mistake again. I will do my best to make amends."
"I hope so. You know, I didn't bring much medicine with me this time, so I probably won't last more than a few days."
Charles took his wife's hand and gently stroked it, then nodded very seriously.
