The clinical trial for patients with gastric cancer was approved, and Xi Nian felt relieved. He called Zhong Yuxiu to explain the situation.
"Comrade Zhong, when can you come to the Medical Research Institute and give us some pointers? The drug's effectiveness hasn't kept up, wasting manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and it's also a burden on the people."
After hearing this, Zhong Yuxiu pondered for a moment and said, "I have nothing to do today, so you can contact them. I will go there in person." In order to solve the subsequent troubles, she had to go.
"Okay, I'll report this immediately and make arrangements, and then send someone to pick you up. Do you think that's feasible?"
"Can."
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yuxiu leaned on the table in a daze. Yan Guofeng looked up at her and asked, "What did you say? You look listless."
"Oh, it's nothing serious. Comrade Xi Nian will send someone to pick me up to go to the Medical Research Institute later. I don't know if I can come back at noon. You and Rushan don't have to wait for me to eat. Just leave some for me." She walked to the small bed and sat down. Looking at the little baby on the bed, Yuxiu stretched out the corners of her mouth and smiled.
Yan Guofeng nodded and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me. Grandpa is old, but I can still protect you from the wind and rain while I am still alive."
"It's really okay. Xi Nian is such a smart guy. With him around, what could possibly happen to me?"
The smile on her face was not forced, and Yan Guofeng was relieved. "Let me know if you have anything to say."
"I know. I won't be polite with you. I am your granddaughter-in-law." There is no benefit in being polite, but it's not to the point of asking for favors from the old man.
Yan Guofeng nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the answer.
After Xi Nian reported the matter, he received instructions from his superiors to lead people into the institute, and only asked a guard to drive the car. He also went to the military compound. His car was not registered in the compound, so he could not enter. He had to get out of the car and register at the guard booth, and then entered the compound alone.
Arriving at Zhong's house, Xi Nian was standing outside the door and knocked. "Comrade Zhong, are you home?"
Ending the topic, Zhong Yuxiu said loudly: "Yes, Comrade Xi, please come in." While speaking, she stood up to greet him and met him at the junction of the main hall and the outer hall.
"Hello, Comrade Zhong, the car is waiting outside the compound. Do you think we should leave now or wait a while?" Xi Nian asked.
"I'll be leaving in a moment. Sit down for a while. I'll go upstairs to get something and be right back down."
Xi Nian nodded lightly, "Okay, you take your things first, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu didn't insist, and went upstairs to get the data from the printer. At the same time, she put some pocket money in her pocket. When you are away from home, you should always prepare pocket money for emergencies.
"Comrade Xi, we can go now." He walked down the stairs lightly and said to the old man, "Grandpa, Comrade Xi and I are going out for a while."
"Go ahead, and be safe."
Yan Guofeng waved his hand casually, and Xi Nian said goodbye, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Go ahead." Yan Guofeng glanced at him and said again, "Gu Lingguo, Fang Guozhong, come out and protect Yuxiu."
"yes."
The sound arrived before the people arrived. When Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong came out, they were both wearing plain clothes.
Zhong Yuxiu didn't care and walked out. But Xi Nian saw something was wrong and said, "Why don't you two comrades change your clothes?"
"It's time to change, bring your equipment." Yan Guofeng said.
"Yes." The two of them ran upstairs quickly, and in just five minutes they came downstairs dressed in new uniforms, with guns on their bodies.
Zhong Yuxiu and Xi Nian walked side by side, and the two followed closely behind him out of the house and rushed out of the compound. They met many people on the way, including some people in high positions. Some of them had seen Xi Nian, and when they saw them walking together, they had a rough guess in their minds.
It’s nothing but this girl Zhong Yuxiu. Yan’s granddaughter-in-law is making moves again.
When they reached the outside of the compound, Xi Nian led the others to the fare and opened the back door. "Comrade Zhong, please come in."
"Thank you." He bent down and sat down.
Gu Lingguo then got in, and Fang Guozhong trotted to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.
Xi Nian smiled, closed the car door, walked around to the other side, opened the door, got in, and said, "Drive to the Medical Research Institute."
"Yes," the guard in the front seat responded respectfully and drove away from the compound.
The hospital research institute is not in the city center, and unlike other research institutes, it is located in Zhongguancun; this place is remote and part of the land has been used.
After arriving at the destination, the group successfully entered the institute with the documents in Xi Nian's hand.
The vehicle was parked outside a lawn and a group of people got out. Before Xi Nian could say anything, Zhong Yuxiu saw a group of people walking quickly towards her.
"Hello, Comrade Xi, long time no see." The man in the lead had a sleek backcombed hair and looked to be in his early forties.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Dean Qu. How could I trouble you to come and greet me in person?"
Xi Nian shook hands with him and responded with a smile.
Dean Qu chuckled. "I'm not here to greet you, I'm here to greet Comrade Zhong. Is this Comrade Zhong? I've long heard of your name, and now that I see you, it's true that the younger generation is replacing the older generation. It's time for us old folks to retire."
"You're only forty-eight, you can't even retire." Xi Nian glanced at Yuxiu and said, "Comrade Zhong, this is Director Qu Changgeng of the Medical Research Institute."
"Hello, President Qu." Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly politely, neither humble nor arrogant, yet polite.
Qu Changgeng chuckled, his eyes slightly darker. "You're not worthy of this, Comrade Zhong. Your abilities are far superior to ours. We should be the ones greeting you. The repair fluid we make isn't as good as yours, so we have to trouble you for your guidance. It's our fault, really."
"You're too kind." She didn't leave out any of her thoughts, but no one knew what she was thinking.
Xi Nian's eyes paused slightly, but his smile remained unchanged. "Comrade Zhong is still young, and his future is limitless. Dean Qu is right, but Comrade Zhong is too young. Dean Qu, please don't scare our Comrade Zhong away."
The group of people behind Qu Changgeng were wearing white coats and looked at her quietly. No one rushed forward.
"I am young, not even half your age, and don't deserve your praise. Although, I know these are true, we just need to understand them in our hearts. There is no need to bring them out. It's so embarrassing, isn't it?" Anyway, she is not the one who is embarrassed.
Qu Changgeng's expression changed, "Comrade Zhong is very sharp-tongued."
"Thank you for the compliment. My time is precious. When will we start?" It would be fine if these people were just research geeks lacking in social skills; but it was obvious that Dean Qu Changgeng was not reconciled and even did not trust her abilities.
"Right now," Xi Nian said quickly. "Dean Qu, Comrade Zhong's time is truly valuable. She's not only a professor at the Medical University, but also at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. She's the kind of person with a real contract and always has research projects on hand."
It's better to be leisurely than them. A research project has been going on for so long and there is still no breakthrough.
Zhong Yuxiu could understand why they hadn't made a breakthrough for so long. How could they possibly achieve a breakthrough if they weren't focusing on research? She gave her all the materials, specific data, steps, and even analysis of the materials—everything she could give—but in the end, it gave her unsatisfactory results.
