"Financial News: Ms. Luo Xiaofei, head of Pfizer's R&D center, announced her resignation."
"Ms. Luo Xiaofei has achieved remarkable research and development results since joining Pfizer. She led her team in developing well-known drugs such as Lyrica, Celebrex, and Xalcoria, and has also made significant achievements in the development of anti-AIDS drugs. She is a key contributor to Pfizer's consistently high stock price."
"However, the fact that Ms. Luo Xiaofei, who is less than 40 years old, voluntarily resigned from her position as head of the R&D center surprised industry insiders."
On the TV screen appeared an oriental beauty with delicate features, a graceful figure, and elegant temperament, whose actual age was completely unknown.
Chen Zihan, who was lying on the sofa watching the news with a confused look on his face, suddenly sat up.
"It's her?"
He instantly felt the urge to find her.
Chen Zihan and Luo Xiaofei are university alumni, both graduated from Zhijiang University School of Medicine.
Luo Xiaofei studied pharmacy, and Chen Zihan studied seven-year clinical medicine.
When she was in school, the beautiful Luo Xiaofei was a goddess in many people's minds.
The two had quite a bit of interaction.
Later, Luo Xiaofei was admitted to the graduate school of Yale University School of Medicine and went abroad to study.
After graduation, Chen Zihan stayed at the First Affiliated Hospital.
The two lost contact.
He didn't expect that Luo Xiaofei would do so well after going abroad and become an executive of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.
Chen Zi Han is in trouble now.
He has contracted an illness and needs a special medicine.
Perhaps Luo Xiaofei, who has achieved many research results, can help him.
But why did she leave Pfizer?
Just as I was wondering, the phone rang.
It's an unfamiliar number.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Zi Han still answered the phone.
"Chen Zihan? I'm Luo Xiaofei." As soon as the call was connected, the other party introduced herself. "I'm in Qiantang. Can we meet?"
"I just saw the news of your resignation on TV. I didn't expect you to return to Qiantang already. You're really quick." Chen Zihan was very surprised. "You're doing well at Pfizer, with countless achievements, a good income, and a high status. Why are you leaving?"
"Achievements are bullshit. I want to go back to China, so I resigned." Luo Xiaofei said quickly, "I just went to the First Hospital to look for you, and your colleagues said you've taken a long vacation. Would you like to meet an old classmate? I have something to talk to you about. Are you in Qiantang or back home?"
"In Qiantang!" Chen Zihan certainly wouldn't refuse to meet Luo Xiaofei. "I also happen to have something to talk to you about. How about we have dinner together?"
"good!"
In the evening, the two met at the "Grandma's Home" restaurant on Nanshan Road.
What surprised Chen Zihan was that Luo Xiaofei who appeared in front of him had a dejected look on her face, completely different from the radiant image she appeared on TV.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zihan was very surprised. "I think I recognized the wrong person!"
"I have cancer, stage four breast cancer. It has spread throughout my body. I have at most two years to live."
“…” Chen Zihan was stunned with shock.
"There's a true saying: No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident," Luo Xiao said with a look of self-mockery. "I've led my team in developing so many life-saving drugs, but now no one can save mine. God has been so cruel to me!"
"How could this happen?" After a while, Chen Zihan finally recovered from his shock. He asked cautiously, "You came back... because you want me to perform surgery?"
He studies oncological surgery and is recognized by the industry as a new generation leader in oncological surgery.
Luo Xiaofei shook her head. "I know my body very well. Surgery or not, my life expectancy is about the same. I don't want to live a life with absolutely no quality of life, and I don't want to die with a damaged body."
"Do you want to seek treatment with Chinese medicine?"
"No!" Luo Xiaofei shook her head, "I came back just to find you."
Without waiting for Chen Zihan to answer, she continued, "I know your situation too. You contracted a terminal illness in an accident while on a foreign aid mission. The onset is extremely severe, and the latest medications I've developed are ineffective. You only have two to three years to live. Furthermore, your family fell apart while you were on a foreign aid mission. I had a crush on you back in school. If you had pursued me seriously, perhaps I would have accepted you. We, two people with the same suffering, should spend the rest of our lives together!"
"Stop joking!" Chen Zihan's face changed drastically as he raised his glass to Luo Xiaofei. "Drink!"
What Luo Xiaofei said was true. He did contract that terrible disease due to an accident during surgery while on a foreign aid mission.
The condition is extremely serious, the immune system is already severely damaged and can be life-threatening at any time.
When he saw the news just now, he thought about asking Luo Xiaofei for help.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaofei was also unable to help.
The little hope that had just been ignited was extinguished in an instant.
"Anyway, I'm staying in the country and not leaving." Luo Xiaofei and Chen Zihan clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Okay! Why don't we try Chinese medicine treatment together." Chen Zi Han didn't say anything else, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The two drank a lot of wine and eventually walked out of the hotel supporting each other.
"I've been dreaming about you lately. I dreamt that we were still young, studying at medical school, and you refused to let me go abroad!" Luo Xiaofei buried her face in Chen Zihan's shoulder and said sadly, "How wonderful it would be if all this were true?"
Chen Zihan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Sometimes fate is so helpless that it makes people despair.
Chen Zi Han drank more than Luo Xiaofei. He usually doesn't drink much, but he drank a little too much and even staggered a little.
