On September 25, Xiao Zhen and Feng Yi, who had packed their luggage, were unable to leave. When they were about to arrive at Hongqiao Airport, they received a call from Ruijin Hospital and were called back.
At 3:30 pm on September 25, in the intensive care unit of Ruijin Hospital, as the alarm sounded, Xiao Town's butler Lao Kong sat on a bench outside the door and watched a group of people in white coats file in.
"Head Nurse Zhang, what happened to my old man Zhang?" Lao Kong asked nervously.
"Mr. Kong, you must be prepared. Mr. Zhang may not be in good condition!" said Head Nurse Zhang
"Okay, I'll notify Academician Xiao to come to the hospital right away. Feel free to use any good medicine you need." Lao Kong took out his phone and called Xiao Zhen: "Xiao Zhen, you haven't flown to Beijing yet, right?"
"We're still two kilometers from the airport. Master Kong, is there anything wrong with Teacher Zhang?"
Xiao Zhen knew that Lao Kong, Aunt Wu and Xiao Liu had been taking turns to look after Lao Zhang 24 hours a day since June, and it was Lao Kong's turn to take charge this afternoon.
"Xinzhen, Mr. Zhang is not in good condition. After all, he is 104 years old. You should come to the hospital!" Lao Kong said in a calm tone.
"Okay, tell the hospital what medicine to use. I'll come to Ruijin Hospital right away.
Feng Yi is not going to the capital. Old Zhang heard Lao Kong's tone and estimated that he would not be able to get over this hurdle. He immediately pulled the flash as fast as possible to Ruijin Hospital. Xiao Zhen was also a little anxious. After all, he was a 104-year-old man.
"Academician, please fasten your seatbelt," Feng Yi reminded him, and activated the hazard lights. Jia A looked up at the car, which was flashing lights, and sped towards Ruijin Hospital...
At this time, Xiao Zhen was staring at the receding high-rise buildings and traffic, recalling every detail of his decades of experience with his butler, Lao Zhang.
When they first met, Xiao Zhen was still a little kid who had just come to Shanghai to attend junior high school. He followed Lao Zhang to learn Chinese culture, antique knowledge, ways of dealing with the world, and how to run a big family.
Later, when he had his own children, except for Odin, the other five children were basically taught by Lao Zhang himself.
Otherwise, the children in Xiaozhen might not be able to educate their own children like many bosses who made their fortunes in the 1980s and 1990s and ended their fortunes in the new century.
Thinking about all these things, Xiao Zhen's tears welled up in his eyes. "Academician, please wipe them away. Mr. Zhang is 104 years old after all." This was the first time that Feng Yi saw the great scientist who had been strong for decades shed tears.
Over the years, Xiao Zhen only shed tears when his grandparents and his carving master, Stonemason Wang, passed away.
"Feng Yi, life is so difficult. When Mr. Zhang was a child, his parents sold him to Mr. Zhang as a personal servant.
He was smart and learned real skills from Master Zhang.
After liberation, he was locked up in a cowshed again. After he was rehabilitated, he was already old and had no children in his life.
That time Uncle Liu Jun found me, I needed an old man who knew about antiques.
Old Zhang asked my father that if he came, he would take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life. My father agreed without thinking.
We have been like a family for so many years, and Mr. Zhang has taught my children very well.
Even though Zhenbei is a bit outspoken, he still has his own bottom line.
"Over the years, the country has become richer, but how many former prominent figures have lost control of themselves and their children and have fallen into decline? Humanity cannot defeat the rings of time!" Xiao Zhen said emotionally.
"Does the academician need to notify Mr. Xiao and the others?" Feng Yi asked.
"Let's notify everyone at home after we park. Zhenxi doesn't need to be notified because he hasn't finished his recruit training yet. Tell Zhang Huiwen to prepare everything!" Xiao Zhen arranged things with a frustrated look on his face...
Lao Kong watched the elevator door open and saw Feng Yi on the phone and Xiao Zhen walking in front with a serious expression.
"How is Mr. Zhang?" Xiao Zhen asked anxiously
"The situation is very bad. The expert group is consulting. Please sit down and wait!" Lao Kong said as he stood up.
"Well, Feng Yi, give me my phone number!"
"Academician, your number!" Feng Yi took out Xiao Zhen's phone number from his backpack and handed it over.
Xiao Zhen picked up the phone and called Huakang Biotechnology Research Institute. "This is Xiao Zhen. Please arrange for a helicopter to transport the No. 152 bioactive factor reagent to Shanghai Ruijin Hospital immediately!"
"Immediately arrange it, Academician Xiao!" The logistics manager of the experimental base on the other end of the phone answered.
As soon as I hung up the phone, the lights in the emergency room went out and a group of consulting experts came out.
A senior professor at Tongji University's School of Medicine saw Xiao Zhen, walked over, shook his head, and said to him with regret, "Academician, it's a pity that Mr. Zhang couldn't be saved. His body functions had deteriorated severely, and he was almost at the end of his life. We, the members of the expert group, have done our best. Academician Xiao, accept our condolences!"
"Thank you, Professor Lin!" Xiao Zhen greeted everyone on the medical team woodenly, then asked Feng Yi, "How's Zhang Huiwen preparing? Has everyone been notified? Has the consultation meeting been announced?"
"Academician Zhang Huiwen has just contacted the funeral home. They will send a car to pick up Mr. Zhang's body and take it to the funeral home in 40 minutes. The family has been notified and will arrive in three hours. I will immediately notify the Huasheng Group's secretary office to make arrangements!" Feng Yi said.
"In the small town, I'll arrange for Aunt Wu to change Mr. Zhang's clothes!" said Lao Kong.
"Go and arrange it!"... When everything was arranged, Xiao Zhen walked into the room where Mr. Zhang's body was placed alone.
He looked quietly at Mr. Zhang's peaceful face, as if time had stood still.
At this moment, he noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in Lao Zhang's clenched hands.
Xiao Zhen gently pried open Mr. Zhang's hand and found an exquisite jade pendant. This jade pendant was a gift Xiao Zhen gave to Mr. Zhang as a token of respect. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang has kept it until now.
Xiao Zhen clutched the jade pendant tightly, feeling a mixture of emotions. Later, family members arrived one after another, and everyone gathered around Elder Zhang, silently weeping.
