Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 995 - 959: Not Just Ordinary Powerful

Near eleven in the morning, Mr. Zhou and Zhou Ziyan once again arrived at Binhai University Affiliated Hospital and walked into Lin Jie's office.As soon as they met, Mr. Zhou solemnly expressed, "Expert Lin, thank you for allowing Ziyan to join this project group."

"Let me make a promise to you face-to-face, our branch of the Zhou Family will fully support this research project in terms of personnel, finance, and resources."

At Mr. Zhou's indication, Zhou Ziyan took out a check and handed it over.

"Expert Lin, this is the initial sponsorship for the research funding. As the project progresses and the research needs arise, we will continue to provide support."

"Thank you! Thank you for your robust support!"

Expressing gratitude, Lin Jie did not accept the check, and smiled, "I am currently writing the project application report to submit to the National Health Commission."

"I am part of the Health Commission's 'Hundred Talents Program.'

"I am confident that this project will receive ample research funding from the nation. In that case, there's no need to accept private sponsorship."

Mr. Zhou chuckled softly, "Expert Lin, please don't have any concerns. This funding is purely sponsorship, we won't make any additional demands."

He sighed, "When foreigners talk about traditional Chinese medicine, they mention acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mystery right away. But fundamentally, they hold a dismissive attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine."

"To a large extent, they believe traditional Chinese medicine is akin to the witchcraft of uncivilized tribes, a form of ritual with its efficacy mainly being psychological."

"If this research yields significant results, the entire world will have a renewed understanding of traditional Chinese medicine."

"For this reason alone, I boldly, on behalf of my fellow colleagues in the domestic TCM circles, express our gratitude to you, Expert Lin."

Seeing Mr. Zhou rise and about to bow to him, Lin Jie dared not accept it and quickly supported the old man.

"Sir, please sit down."

"Doing this, you really put me to shame."

"My sister and I have been consuming Jian'an Hall's tonics for over a year and have personally felt the effects of traditional Chinese medicine."

"This research project can also be said to have been jointly inspired by TCM tonics and Zhou Ziyan's doctoral thesis."

"I have a responsibility to let the world truly understand the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine!"

Mr. Zhou, feeling somewhat emotional, said, "Good! Good! Good!"

"Expert Lin, you must accept this sponsorship fee; it's the intention of an old practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Also, I know very well that in medical research, money is never enough."

Seeing Mr. Zhou's insistence, Lin Jie did not refuse further and accepted the check for five million.

Subsequently, they started talking about the inducer.

Lin Jie refilled Mr. Zhou's tea and said, "Zhou Ziyan, extracting the inducer for tumor growth from tonics is essentially a kind of nutrient solution or culture medium."

"Although it's not a drug, it has to be injected into the human body, even into various organs."

Lin Jie reminded, "The research and validation in all aspects must be rigorous, and corresponding animal experiments are indispensable."

Zhou Ziyan nodded and said, "Expert Lin, I've been conducting research on human body injection absorption of these traditional Chinese medicine components, with my family's support, for over three years."

"The stage of animal experiments is over, and I'll send you the related data and research materials for review."

"Currently, during the human trial stage, some issues have arisen."

Confidently, Zhou Ziyan said, "However, I'm confident in achieving a breakthrough in a short period."

"Time, time indeed!"

Lin Jie muttered to himself, continuing to say, "Zhou Ziyan, you must know that Elenna is scheduled for surgery tomorrow night."

"Time is extremely precious to her."

Feeling the urgency, Lin Jie decisively said, "Thus, I will speak with Dean Yuan, asking him to arrange one or two standard laboratories for your use today."

"This check..."

Lin Jie handed the check back to Zhou Ziyan, continuing, "For any instruments, equipment, and materials you need, just purchase them directly. If money's insufficient, put it on my tab."

Confidently, he said, "Using my reputation, for an advance of a few million, there's no problem."

"Regarding personnel assisting your research, bring anyone you want, even if they're department heads from the Affiliated Hospital, it's fine."

"If anyone has objections, I'll handle it."

At this moment, Lin Jie appeared particularly authoritative.

He acted so assertively because Elenna's time was indeed precious and couldn't be delayed.

Additionally, Lin Jie placed great importance on this research project.

Once this project has breakthrough results, countless patients sentenced to death by malignant tumors will benefit.

The final reason is that continuous success and acclaim have greatly boosted Lin Jie's confidence, and his ambition has soared, feeling he's a significant figure, with others needing to show him respect, whether they want to or not.

In other words, Lin Jie's mindset had somewhat inflated.

With the check back in his hands, Zhou Ziyan pledged, "Expert Lin, rest assured. In the coming days, even if I don't eat, drink, or sleep, I'll surely produce usable results."

Nearby, Mr. Zhou, feeling invigorated as well, sensed he had become decades younger, volunteering, "Expert Lin, I have plenty of free time, and I can contribute some effort too."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Old man, there's actually something I'd like to trouble you with."

"In this project, we still need an inhibitor to suppress or drive away tumor growth."

"The conventional use of radioactive substances causes significant harm to the human body. If you could formulate a Chinese medicine with similar functions, that would be ideal."

Old Man Zhou chuckled and said, "Expert Lin, aren't you afraid I'll be overwhelmed by such an important task?"

Lin Jie flattered him, "How could that be? You're as strong as ever!"

Old Man Zhou laughed heartily, "My energy isn't what it used to be. One must accept old age."

"But, about this inhibitor, I do have some ideas."

"Traditional Chinese medicine includes a toxicology discipline, which not only studies poisoning but also explores using toxins to counteract toxins, curing illnesses and saving lives."

"I'll gather a few old friends to research and hopefully live up to your expectations as Expert Lin..."

After seeing off the Zhou family, Lin Jie unexpectedly saw An Kexin and Lin Miao arrive together at the office.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

An Kexin and Lin Miao didn't respond, but each took hold of Lin Jie's arms from one side.

"We came for one reason only: to take you home by force and make sure you eat and rest."

An Kexin said with some concern, "You talked with Zhou Ziyan until past eleven last night, and you were in the study before five this morning. Look at your eyes—they're bloodshot! You must go home and rest."

"Brother, don't make us worry!"

Lin Miao said angrily, "You'll definitely be going to the hospital early tomorrow for Nannan's father's issue, right?"

"Also, tomorrow night, you're performing an operation on that German person. I've heard the surgery will last more than ten hours."

Lin Jie explained, "It's not like I'm a child—I won't act recklessly."

"I planned to go home early this afternoon to rest. As a doctor, I wouldn't risk tomorrow night's surgery."

An Kexin hummed, "Since your plan matches ours, come home with us."

Seeing Lin Miao's determined face, Lin Jie conceded, "Fine, fine, I'll go back with you. But you have to let me finish today's work arrangements first."

An Kexin and Lin Miao exchanged a glance and released Lin Jie's arms.

Lin Jie first made a call to Dean Yuan Guangxi of the Medical College.

He didn't elaborate over the phone, only told him he had an important research project and hoped the Medical College could arrange a couple of high-standard medical labs today for Zhou Ziyan's use."

Trusting Lin Jie, Yuan Guangxi agreed without hesitation."

After setting up the lab arrangements, Lin Jie made calls to Tian Xiangyu, Guo Peng, and Fang Huanru, instructing them to oversee Elenna's condition, Flavio's postoperative recovery, and the animal experiments for appendix transplantation."

Lastly, Lin Jie called Song Licheng.

Once connected, he said bluntly, "Song Licheng, your doctoral thesis barely passed with me—frankly, it's just at a passable standard."

"You can now send the thesis to other reviewers for evaluation."

Over the phone, Song Licheng let out a breath of relief, followed by an excited voice, "Thank you, teacher, thank you, teacher."

"What's there to be excited about?"

Lin Jie said disdainfully, "Is that all you aim for—a barely passing doctoral thesis? If it weren't for the urgency of your graduation, I would have had you revise it significantly."

"Oh, by the way, come to my office next..."

He instructed, "On my computer desktop there's a project application report already several thousand words long, help me finish it as soon as possible..."

At nearly three in the afternoon, Xiangtai Apartment."

An Kexin entered the living room, giving Lin Miao a victory gesture, "He's asleep now. A glass of red wine did the trick; he soon fell asleep."

"Glad he's asleep!"

Lin Miao asked, "I've never seen my brother so excited before."

"Kexin, is the project Brother's researching really impressive?"

An Kexin sat next to Lin Miao and said proudly, "Impressive is an understatement; it's exceptionally significant."

"Miaomiao, let me tell you."

"Once this research project yields applicable results, millions of malignant tumor patients will benefit."

"With these research results, A-Jie might even win the Nobel Prize in Physiology!"

"Really? Win the Nobel Prize?" Lin Miao's eyes widened."

An Kexin explained, "I only said there's a chance to win the Nobel Prize."

"Winning the Nobel Prize involves many factors."

"While scientific achievements are crucial, they're just one aspect. Factors like fame, background negotiations, personal relations, and even politics play roles."

"Yet, no matter what, once this project is completed, A-Jie is that much closer to a Nobel Prize. This research can bless countless malignant tumor patients."

Saying this, An Kexin suddenly felt a wave of sadness and murmured to herself, "If only A-Jie had been born ten years earlier, maybe Mom wouldn't have passed away so soon..."
