Medical Sovereign - Chapter 487
Chapter 487 Meeting the Big Bosses
In this respect, Ding Ning owed Academician Cao and Linnaeus an exceptionally great favor.
But what he did not know was that this was not the idea of Academician Cao alone, but authorization of the state.
After all, only 11 Shenzhou people had won the Nobel Prize in the whole of Shenzhou so far. Of these 11 people, only two had the Shenzhou nationality, and the other nine were all foreign Shenzhou people. How ironic and sorrowful the fact was!
In order not to miss the Nobel Prize assessment of next year, when the trial process of the Rice Bean Oral Solution was accelerated and entered the fourth clinical trial, the state commissioned Academician Cao to send an invitation to Linnaeus—asking him to recommend Ding Ning as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Linnaeus and Academician Cao had a good personal relationship, but it was a very rigorous matter to choose the Nobel Prize winners. It was not that one could be recommended so casually if someone was informed, so Linnaeus and Anderson came to Shenzhou together to learn about the Efficacy of Rice Bean Oral Solution, to make sure if Ding Ning could be nominated.
They arrived two days earlier than Ding Ning. As two greatly renowned professors in the medical field, when they witnessed the Efficacy of Rice Bean Oral Solution, they had a lingering shock and also spoke highly of it – the birth of the Rice Bean Oral Solution was a landmark epoch-making great change. It would open a new chapter in the history of human medicine and become the terminator of antibiotics.
The reason for them to stay in Yan Jing was that they desperately wanted to meet Ding Ning once. If Ding Ning had not come, they would have decided to go to Ninghai to see him.
Today, they had just finished lunch and were going to go around, but unexpectedly they met Ding Ning by chance. Thus, the scene that they had met a while ago appeared.
Why did Linnaeus know Ding Ning? The reason was very simple: Vice-minister Jiang, who was responsible for receiving him, provided him with Ding Ning’s photos and information to record the nomination and assessment.
After learning the details, Ding Ning suddenly realized why he had to come to Yanjing to sign a letter of authorization – he needed to meet the two foreigners Linnaeus and Anderson.
In the following time, Linnaeus and Anderson inquired about the medicinal pharmacology of the Rice Bean, and Ding Ning answered whatever question they asked. When he elaborated on the functions of the two microorganisms, rice grains, and bean sprouts, the two medical professors were terribly shocked and shouted “God” again and again.
Linnaeus simply said that he would recommend him twice. This year he would recommend him for the discovery of the Rice Bean Microorganism; next year, he would do that for the Rich Bean Oral Solution. As for this, he specifically consulted Ding Ning.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine only had one special award every year. Ding Ning discovered the rice grains and bean sprouts, so he was able to win the Nobel Prize next year. The development of the Rich Bean Oral Solution could also help him get the Nobel Prize in Medicine the year after next. Therefore, Ding Ning could win the Nobel Prize in Medicine for two consecutive years.
After careful consideration, Ding Ning agreed to his plan. After all, the clinical trial of the Rich Bean Oral Solution had not ended. Now, it was indeed a little too early to be nominated. If any problems occurred, that would be a joke.
Mr. Hu had told him to prepare the thesis in advance a long time before, and Ding Ning had done enough preparation – he had testified the function and experimental process of discovering rice and bean microorganisms with various detailed data.
Now, he only needed to make a copy of the thesis, handed it to Linnaeus, and asked him to take it away. That was enough. He had given a copy of it to Lancet. After the thesis on the anesthesia of traditional Chinese medicine was published, it would be released.
About the anesthesia of traditional Chinese medicine, the article would be published during these days. Once published, it would make unimaginable waves.
When Ding Ning thought of this, his mouth turned up slightly. The anesthesia of traditional Chinese medicine was the first challenge to Western medicine, and he believed that it would definitely give Western countries headaches.
But that was just small trouble, for the Rice Bean Oral Solution that would closely follow was the fatal stab to the complete change of the monopoly position of Western medicine, and it would put the titanic ship of Western medicine in a precarious situation.
Subsequently, the emergence of the assimilation drug, a Chinese patent medicine, would be the last straw for traditional Chinese medicine to be recognized by the international community and ultimately defeat Western medicine.
By then, the recovery of traditional medicine could be expected soon, though the comprehensive recovery of Shenzhou culture still had to wait.
Knowing that Ding Ning still had something to do in the afternoon, Linnaeus and Anderson, who had not fully expressed their views, reluctantly bid farewell. Of course, they never forgot to take away the tea Ding Ning gave them when they left.
As for whether this was a bribe or not, Linnaeus was not worried, for he firmly believed that anyone who saw the functions of rice and bean microorganisms and the effect of oral solution, they would agree with him. Definitely, Ding Ning would be able to get the Nobel Prize in Medicine for two consecutive years this year and next. It had nothing to do with taking bribes.
Moreover, the tea was stir-fried by Ding Ning himself. There was no market price about it, so it could only be regarded as a local specialty. A professor was also a human and also needed to get gifts, and there was no bribery at all.
Ding Ning took a bath and changed his clothes. After negotiating with Yagyuu Asamayu for a long time, he did not get her persuaded and had to allow her to become invisible and follow him reluctantly.
The black Raptor, which had been following them from the airport to this place now, was still parked in the parking lot of Yan Jing Hotel after Huzi and his companions left. So, it was clear about who it came for.
Ding Ning smiled with ridicule. It was only two ordinary people, so he did not take them seriously, but who was the one behind them? Ding Ning had a few guesses. Probably, it was Zhao Zifeng.
However, he did not have time to deal with them now. When he left his room, he launched his Invisibility Skill, and two invisible people left Yan Jing Hotel silently.
When passing the black Raptor, Ding Ning saw that the two silly guys who were still eating bread and nibbling on ham sausages stared at the entrance and exit of the hotel, so he had some sympathy for them.
At the entrance of the Forbidden City, Ding Ning walked around leisurely with his backpack on his back, looked at the tourists coming and going, and wanted to go in and take a tour, but Minister Jiang had asked him to wait here, so it was not suitable for him to leave here.
At the time of boredom, he received Minister Jiang’s phone call. As he answered the phone, Ding Ning walked toward a Hongqi car on the roadside in the direction Minister Jiang told him.
“Get in the car!”
Minister Jiang stuck out his head of the copilot’s window and waved to him.
Ding Ning thought that they were lucky. “Fortunately, Minister Jiang sat in the co-pilot’s seat. If he sat in the back row, Yagyuu Asamayu would have no room to sit.”
When he got in the car, Minister Jiang gave him a smile but did not speak. Ding Ning greeted him but did not know what to say. After all, he was not familiar with him, and he thought that he would go to the National Ministry of Health to sign the letter of authorization.
More than ten minutes later, Ding Ning became serious. It was only a short distance, but he had gone through no less than ten strict interrogations and checks.
“Where are we going, Minister Jiang?”
Seeing the ancient buildings and the peaceful lake along the way, Ding Ning had unclear guesses and asked in somewhat disbelief.
“Someone wants to see you.”
Minister Jiang also became severe but did not mention where they were going.
“Who wants to see me?”
Ding Ning gasped, and his heart began to beat frantically.
“You’ll know when you see.”
Minister Jiang decided never to tell him.
Ding Ning scratched his head and had a mess in his mind. “Do the bosses of the Central Agency really want to see me?
“It shouldn’t be possible, should it? These few guys who are the bosses on the pinnacle are only seen on TV. How many people among the 1.4 billion people of Shenzhou can see them in person?
“I am only a nameless doctor. These bosses have a host of problems to deal with every day, so how can they have time to see me the little doctor?
“But what I see now is obviously the center of power of Shenzhou Country. Who else but those few bosses want to summon me?”
The car stopped in front of an antique building, and a few serious-looking men in plain clothes stepped forward to interrogate and check them.
After Minister Jiang showed his pass, the leader with a crew cut hairstyle of them said to Ding Ning expressionlessly, “Come with me.”
Hearing these words, Ding Ning got out of the car, and Minister Jiang looked at him with admiration in his eyes. “My task is finished. Now, I’m leaving.”
Before Ding Ning said anything, the Hongqi car instantly turned around and left, making him so depressed that he silently accused him of having no brotherhood code.
“Come with me.”
The man with a crew cut hairstyle said indifferently and then turned around, walking toward an antique building first.
On the contrary, Ding Ning calmed down at this moment and followed him step by step, studying these men in plain clothes with curiosity.
These people who moved in a well-trained manner scattered around him inadvertently, but they surrounded him, giving him a feeling that he was being watched.
What surprised him most was that these people restrained their breath, looking like ordinary people, but they exuded a very dangerous feeling faintly.
“They don’t have any Spiritual Energy fluctuation. They should be excellent practitioners of national martial arts, right? They are on the advanced level at least. I’m afraid that the man with the crew cut hairstyle is a Master of national martial arts.”
Ding Ning pondered it thoughtfully, “The Bodyguard from Beijing! This is my favorite movie.”
After walking through the pavilions and down the covered walkways for a long time, the man with the crew cut hairstyle finally stopped, turned around, and said, “Go in yourself, and the chief is waiting for you.”
“Thank you, brother.”
Ding Ning thanked the man with the crew cut hairstyle carefully, took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement forcefully, and walked into the room a little anxiously.
This man with the crew cut hairstyle stood quite straight at the door, but he had a smile in his cold eyes. “I like polite little guys.”
The big hall was not luxurious, nor did it have modern decoration. Instead, it was full of classical charms with the characteristics of Shenzhou Country.
The seven hale and hearty older men who were talking in a low voice looked at Ding Ning the moment he stepped into the room, looking expressionless and solemn.
Bang, bang, bang!
When Ding Ning looked at these strange and familiar faces, his heart beat heavily, and his brain went blank.
He never expected that the seven bosses of the Central Agency who had numerous problems to handle daily would gather together to wait for him. For anyone, this was a great honor.
Even though Ding Ning always believed that he had an unrestrained character, but facing this scene at the moment, he still breathed fast, his tongue became dry, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat drops. He opened his mouth several times, but could not utter a single word.
This was a kind of momentum. It was gradually cultivated by those who had been giving orders in high positions for a long time. The seven big bosses did not need to say anything, but their momentums overwhelmed him so much that he could not even breathe.
Ding Ning instantly launched the Heart Sutra of Bodhi, and his expression returned to normal just after a moment of nervousness. Then, he bent his back slightly and reasonably and said, “I’m Ding Ning. It’s my honor to see you, chiefs.”
“Haha, what do you think? I said this little guy is not ordinary.”
Boss No. 1, who often appeared on TV, stood up from a mahogany sofa and laughed and that close-to-still pressure disappeared in an instant.
“Good, you deserve to be the hero of our Shenzhou Country.”
Chief No. 2 eyed Ding Ning with a soft look, showing that he was satisfied.
“Little Ding, I’ve heard of your great reputation for a long time.”
Chief No. 1 extended his hand very amiably, and Ding Ning held it with his two hands in great surprise. “Chief, you speak too highly of me.”
“Come, sit down, and make yourself at home. This is not a formal occasion today, and I just want to see our little hero and talk about the matter of authorization.”
After Ding Ning shook hands with the other seven bosses, Chief No. 1 pointed at a sofa and asked him with a smile to sit down.
Ding Ning did not dare to sit entirely on the sofa and only sat straight on the edge of it, but his complexion became calm.
