Chapter 113: What is more important? (Please subscribe for more)
At 7:25 in the evening, Li Yao, the director of Huashan Hospital, walked into a small, unremarkable restaurant on Chunshui Road.
He walked straight into a small private room and sat down at the table opposite Qi Yue.
"Old Qi, what you'd better say is something truly significant that will go down in medical history. My dinner has just been served, and I haven't even taken a bite yet."
Li Yao said resentfully, "This is the first day in the past few days that I have time to stay home for dinner."
"When I left, the one in my family gave me a hard time."
Qi Yue chuckled and said, "Dean Li, am I the kind of person who has no idea what to do?"
"If you say it's a big deal, then it's a big deal."
He picked up the chopsticks and said, "Dean, eat some first."
"Although this shop is small, the food is quite delicious. It's my private reserve. I won't bring ordinary people here."
Although Li Yao was a little anxious about what the big thing Qi Yue mentioned was, as the head of a hospital, he still had patience.
Besides, he was really hungry.
Li Yao picked up the chopsticks and tasted the seemingly ordinary home-cooked dishes on the table, and his eyes lit up.
"Not bad, really not bad."
“Home-cooked dishes with an unusual taste, fresh and delicious, irresistible, worth frequenting.”
At that moment, he ate a bowl of rice with these delicious home-cooked dishes and ate until he was half full.
Li Yao picked up the soup bowl again and drank the remaining half bowl of soup, then placed the bowl gently on the dining table.
"Old Qi, you can speak now."
Qi Yue wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said slowly, "Dean, my student Zhiming is very smart and can easily detect a person's early-stage cancer."
"You know this, right?"
Li Yao suppressed his urge to lose his temper and urged unhappily, "Director Qi Yue, please get straight to the point and stop talking nonsense."
Qi Yue picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and then slowly put the cup down under Li Yao's displeased gaze.
"This ability to perceive and investigate is Zhiming's innate talent. No one else can learn it."
"If, Dean, I'm just saying one if..."
Qi Yue leaned forward and raised his voice, "We have detected one hundred patients with early-stage liver cancer."
"We conducted detailed examinations on each of these 100 early-stage liver cancer patients and identified several key, common physical indicators..."
At this point, Qi Yue noticed that there seemed to be flames burning in Li Yao's eyes, with a scorching heat.
He knew that Dean Li had understood the key.
"Dean, if these key data can be widely used to screen for early-stage liver cancer patients..."
“Is this a major event in medical history?”
Li Yao stared at Qi Yue with a sharp gaze and said thoughtfully, "It shouldn't be easy to accomplish this, right?"
Qi Yue nodded and said, "It's indeed not easy. First, it's not easy to accumulate enough experimental samples."
"It requires sustained and unremitting efforts, and it also takes a long time to slowly accumulate. A few years is not enough."
“Secondly, this detailed examination of the body and cancerous organs is very expensive, or rather, very costly.”
"The cost of examining just one person would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Multiply that by dozens or even hundreds of people, and the cost would be exorbitant."
"Third, the possibility of failure is also very high."
"It's very likely that in the end, it will all be in vain, and there won't be any universally applicable key indicator data."
"but……"
Qi Yue said word by word, "Once we succeed and find a very early screening indicator for some type of cancer..."
"Dean, with our current medical technology, it's not an exaggeration to say that we've conquered this type of cancer."
"Boom", "Boom"...
Li Yao drummed his fingers rhythmically on the table and said seriously, "This is a matter of great benefit to the country and the people. Even if there's only a 1 in 100 chance of success, it's worth our full effort."
"Tomorrow, I will call an impromptu office meeting."
"Old Qi, you will also participate."
Li Yao said methodically, "Let's first unify our thoughts. Once we've made a preliminary decision, I'll go to the Health Commission and the deputy mayor in charge to ask for their strong support."
Qi Yue smiled softly and said, "Director, it is foreseeable that this is a large-scale project that will last for several years, or even more than ten years. It will be quite a challenge for Huashan Hospital alone."
"Why not find some partners..."
Qi Yue met Li Yao's gaze and gave further introductions.
"For example, our hospital has a relative advantage in liver cancer and liver disease research, so we can focus on early-stage liver cancer."
"For breast cancer, we can collaborate with the affiliated hospitals of Jiaotong University."
"This way, we can spread the risk and financial pressure. Besides, Zhiming is one of ours."
“No matter which hospital produces the research results, the contribution of our Huashan Hospital cannot be ignored.”
Li Yao nodded in agreement.
Qi Yue continued, "It is clear that his energy is limited, and it is impossible for him to focus all his energy on examining patients."
"So, it would be better to have one or two cooperative units."
Li Yao nodded again and said, "We must protect Dr. Yu's growth and physical and mental health. We can only have two partners at most."
"The Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital is like a family to us, so they will definitely benefit from this."
Li Yao also understood in his heart.
The Jiaotong University gang has a huge influence in Huashan Hospital. Instead of having to give up benefits in the end, it is better to be proactive and show your magnanimity.
He looked at the empty bowl in front of him and said regretfully, "To discuss such an important matter, we should have some good wine!"
"We can only eat two more bowls of rice."
Qi Yue laughed and said, "Good wine, yes."
As he spoke, he bent down and took out a bottle of red wine and two highball glasses from under the table.
"This is one of the best red wines in my collection. It's already been decanted. Let's taste it together!"
Qi Yue poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Li Yao. Seeing his complaining expression, he laughed.
"Drinking after meals is good for your health!"
Li Yao slurred his laughter, and clinked his wine glasses lightly with Qi Yue's. He took a sip of the red wine and savored it.
“Rich and mellow, with a lingering aftertaste, this is an absolutely fine wine!”
Li Yao made a comment, and then Qi Yue suddenly asked, "The group of young doctors we sent out for further training last year are about to come back, right?"
Li Yao hummed and said, "They've already returned one after another. We sent out eleven people and made sure that two of them didn't return."
He sighed again, "It's always like this. There are always people who are unwilling to come back when they are sent out for further training."
“Is it so good abroad?”
Li Yao suddenly asked with alarm, "Old Qi, you're not thinking of sending Dr. Yu abroad for further studies, are you?"
"How come?"
Qi Yue swallowed the red wine in his mouth and continued, "He is still in the stage of consolidating his basics and does not need to go elsewhere for further study."
"I will only arrange for further training once he reaches a bottleneck in his growth. Of course, it's still important for him to attend medical conferences and broaden his horizons."
Li Yao chuckled with satisfaction and said, "I knew it. Although you may seem to act recklessly, Old Qi, you have a very clear mind."
"I'm relieved that Dr. Yu is under your care!"
Qi Yue smiled again and asked casually, "That young celebrity Qiu Yi from before, will he be back too?"
"His roots are in our Huashan. Why wouldn't he come back?"
Li Yao casually replied, then said proudly, "We already have Qiu Yi, and now we have the even more talented Yu Zhiming."
"With these two pillars in hand, Huashan Hospital has a promising future. It's poised for great success."
Qi Yue chuckled lightly and said, "Dean Li, don't be too happy yet. You seem to have forgotten something."
"Qiu Yi's mother is a major shareholder and director of Yaoming Pharmaceutical."
As the director of a large hospital, Li Yao was naturally very sensitive and immediately grasped the hidden meaning of Qi Yue's words.
"That incident, was it Qiu Yi?"
Qi Yue shook his head and said, "There is no evidence!"
After a pause, he continued slowly, "Although Zhiming is a bit spoiled and not very smart in his dealings, he is kind-hearted and can be considered a man of great compassion and skill."
"But Qiu Yi..."
Qi Yue commented softly, "He has always been the best since he was little. He seems gentle, but in fact he looks down on others."
"He may not be willing to condescend to others."
Li Yao drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp and said in a deep voice, "Without evidence, let's wait and see how things develop!"
"If there really were to be a conflict, I'd be able to tell which of them was more important..."
