Elon Musk waved his hand and said, "Dr. Manuel, I'm quite satisfied with your work. For the past few days, you and your team have been diligent and responsible for Little X's matter, so there's no need to resign."
"Mr. Musk …" Manuel felt a little ashamed and felt that he didn't have the face to stay any longer.
Elon Musk waved his hand and interrupted Manuel's words. He said, "I still hope that Dr. Manuel can stay and continue to perfect Little X's treatment plan. We can use it as a backup option."
At this point, Elon Musk looked at Xia Ruofei and asked politely, "Dr. Xia, you don't mind, right?"
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "Of course, there's no harm in being prepared! Even though I don't think there's a need, I won't interfere with your decision. "
Elon Musk showed a trace of embarrassment, and Li Yifu also showed displeasure. He felt that Elon Musk didn't trust Xia Ruofei enough. However, Xia Ruofei's expression remained indifferent and didn't have any emotional fluctuations.
Elon Musk hesitated for a moment and said, "Then please ask Dr. Manuel's team to stay first! After all, they still have to provide other medical services for me and my family. "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He said, "I have no objections, but I hope that Mr. Manuel and the other members of the team can sign a confidentiality agreement …"
"Confidentiality agreement?" Elon Musk was stunned for a moment.
"Regarding today's matter and the subsequent treatment of the patient, I don't want it to be hyped up by the outside world, so I think a confidentiality agreement is still necessary." Xia Ruofei said.
Elon Musk was very puzzled. He said, "Mr. Xia, if you can conquer such a dangerous disease, you will definitely become famous on a global scale! Also … "
"I don't want to be famous." Xia Ruofei directly interrupted Elon Musk's words.
Elon Musk was very puzzled by Xia Ruofei's decision. Was there anyone in the world who didn't want to be famous? He worked in the internet and high-tech industry, and some of his ideas were deeply ingrained. Sometimes, a piece of good news, or even an illusory concept, could double the market value of a technology company. Therefore, he found it difficult to understand Xia Ruofei's low-key approach.
However, since Xia Ruofei had made the decision, he would not oppose it. After all, it was his freedom.
Therefore, Elon Musk nodded and said, "No problem!"
Then, he asked, "Dr. Manuel, this confidentiality agreement …"
"We'll sign it!" Manuel said without hesitation.
Although he didn't understand the Huaxia people's "indifference to fame and fortune," being able to keep this high-paying job was only good for him. As for signing the confidentiality agreement, it wasn't a loss for him. Even if he didn't sign any agreement, he wouldn't go around helping Xia Ruofei publicize.
Elon Musk nodded. He immediately took out his phone and called his assistant to arrange the matter of the confidentiality agreement.
Elon Musk's company had a lot of cutting-edge technology, and confidentiality was the most important thing. Such a confidentiality agreement had a template. As long as the terms were slightly modified on the basis of the template, it wouldn't be difficult.
"Dr. Xia, I've already arranged it," Elon Musk said. Elon Musk said. "After the confidentiality agreement is prepared, Dr. Manuel and his team members will sign it immediately!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
Manuel felt that he really didn't have the face to stay any longer. He took this opportunity to say, "Mr. Musk, I'll go and perfect the treatment plan first!"
Elon Musk nodded and said, "Okay, thank you!"
Manuel left the room with his team members. He came in aggressively, but he didn't expect that not only did he not expose the "liar," he was slapped in the face. In the blink of an eye, their high-end medical team had become a spare tire. It was really heartbreaking …
Xia Ruofei said to Elon Musk, "Mr. Musk, regarding the issue of tinnitus, I have to tell you that acupuncture can only treat the symptoms …"
"Treat the symptoms?"
Although Xia Ruofei tried to explain the two words in English in a way that was easy to understand, Elon Musk obviously didn't understand it very well.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Simply put, it can only have a mitigating effect."
"Ah?" Elon Musk turned pale with fright. He didn't want to experience the torture of tinnitus again. "Then … that is to say, such symptoms will appear in the future? Then, can I perform acupuncture once in a while? "
"That's also possible, but it's still only treating the symptoms and not the root." Xia Ruofei said, "So, if you want to completely solve this problem, you still need to take Chinese medicine."
Elon Musk breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this problem would never be cured!
He quickly said, "No problem! I'll listen to you, Dr. Xia! I'll treat it however you want! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He asked for a pen and paper from Elon Musk and wrote on it. After a while, Xia Ruofei stopped writing and handed the paper to Elon Musk.
Elon Musk took it and looked at it. It was all in Chinese. Although the handwriting looked very elegant, and even he, who didn't understand Chinese at all, felt that the words were full of spiritual energy, the key was that he didn't know what the content was!
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is a prescription. It's all common Chinese medicine. You can send people to any Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown and they can easily prepare it. In addition, I also wrote the decoction method. Nowadays, Chinese medicine shops have a decoction service. You can just ask them to decoct the medicine for you. According to this prescription, take it three times a day after meals for seven days. Basically, this tinnitus problem can be cured. "
This prescription for treating tinnitus wasn't precious to Xia Ruofei, so he didn't deliberately keep it a secret.
Of course, if the people in the Chinese medicine shop knew the goods, they would record this prescription. It was still quite valuable.
Elon Musk grabbed the paper in his hand as if he had found a treasure. He then called the housekeeper over and told him to go to Chinatown to get the medicine as Xia Ruofei had just said.
He didn't even let the housekeeper take the prescription, but let him take a picture with his mobile phone, while he carefully put the prescription away.
The housekeeper naturally didn't dare to neglect. After taking a picture of the prescription, he hurried to the nearby Chinatown to get the medicine.
Elon Musk's face was filled with gratitude as he said, "Doctor Xia, thank you so much this time! I'll have to trouble Dr. Xia for the follow-up treatment of Little X! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You're welcome. There's a saying in the Chinese medicine industry in Huaxia that a doctor has the heart of a parent. We will treat every patient like our own child and do our best. "
"Thank you! Thank you! "Elon Musk rubbed his hands and said," I really don't know how to thank you! I originally wanted to help you publicize your medical skills, but you didn't want to publicize it … How about this! Dr. Xia, no matter how effective Little X's treatment is, I'll pay you a consultation fee that will make you absolutely satisfied … "
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. As for the consultation fee, Mr. Li Yifu has already paid it. I think … Mr. Musk, you should be very clear about Mr. Li's intentions. "
Elon Musk was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked at Li Yifu, and then looked at Xia Ruofei. He couldn't figure out whether Xia Ruofei understood the "big business" that Li Yifu had discussed with him.
Seeing this, Li Yifu said with a smile, "Mr. Musk, Dr. Xia is one of us. He knows a lot more than you think. Let's open the window and be frank with each other. "
When Elon Musk heard this, the hesitation on his face didn't completely fade away. Obviously, he still had some concerns.
Li Yifu said with a smile, "Mr. Musk, Dr. Xia doesn't have any official background in Huaxia. You can completely rest assured about this. In addition, our deal this time has nothing to do with the Huaxia officials! "
Elon Musk nodded, and then whispered to Grimes, "Dear, go next door and take a look at Little X!"
Grimes knew that it wasn't convenient for her to be present when Elon Musk wanted to talk about something, so she nodded and slightly bowed to Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu, and then left the room.
Elon Musk let all unrelated people leave the room, leaving only him, Xia Ruofei, and Li Yifu.
Then, Elon Musk said with a wry smile, "Mr. Li, you really gave me a big problem! The technology in the aerospace field is very sensitive. You should be very clear about it. "
Li Yifu smiled and said, "Of course! However, rocket technology is relatively more sensitive, and space survival equipment, including spaceships, is relatively less sensitive, isn't it? "
Rocket technology was involved in military applications. Some long-range intercontinental missiles and launch vehicles were similar in principle.
In addition, heavy-duty launch vehicle technology, especially rocket engine technology, was only in the hands of a few countries. Such technology would definitely be strictly blocked.
Elon Musk said, "It's only relative! NASA is very strict with their own things. Even if it's a small technology like space food, they also have a strict confidentiality process. SpaceX has obtained some technology from NASA, but we have all signed a confidentiality agreement. If we violate it, my company will face very serious charges, and I may even face imprisonment … "
Li Yifu opened his mouth, but Xia Ruofei stopped him with a look.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Mr. Musk, I think you know very well that the equipment and equipment that Mr. Li proposed to buy won't pose any threat to your country's national security. And we also guarantee that these things won't be transported out of the United States. Presumably, with the strength of the American intelligence department, it's certainly impossible for us to transport such a large number of things out of the country without anyone noticing, right? "
Xia Ruofei looked at Elon Musk and continued, "Also, I think with Mr. Musk's strength, you should be able to easily erase all traces. Even if we are caught by the FBI and the CIA, your company won't be implicated."
Elon Musk sighed and said, "Everything is unpredictable. SpaceX is in a critical stage. Once it succeeds, our market value may increase several times. We really can't afford any mistakes! But things have already come to this … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and interrupted Musk's words. "Mr. Musk, let's not talk about this matter first. Let's treat the child first! Nothing is more important than the child's health now, right? "
Elon Musk showed a trace of emotion. He knew very well that although he couldn't renege on the debt in the end, after all, Li Yifu's strength couldn't be underestimated. But there was no doubt that now was the best time for Xia Ruofei to bargain.
Xia Ruofei had already proven his medical skills, and Little X's life was at stake, waiting for Xia Ruofei to save it.
But Xia Ruofei didn't use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate the purchase of spacesuits and other equipment. Instead, he proposed to treat the child first, which made Elon Musk feel a trace of warmth.
Elon Musk subconsciously looked at Li Yifu. He always thought that this matter was decided by Li Yifu. Xia Ruofei was too young, and he was also a doctor. He felt that Xia Ruofei shouldn't be too involved.
However, Elon Musk saw that Li Yifu had already retreated to the side. He didn't show the slightest displeasure because of Xia Ruofei's "decision". On the contrary, Li Yifu looked as usual, as if Xia Ruofei's decision was a matter of course.
Elon Musk's observation skills were still very strong. He immediately realized that it seemed that he should reevaluate this young Dr. Xia.
"Mr. Musk!" Xia Ruofei's voice sounded again. "What do you think of my proposal?"
"Ah?" Elon Musk came back to his senses and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your generosity! Please rest assured that Mr. Li's matter will also be solved as soon as possible. A safe and beneficial solution for both parties. I will do my best to satisfy Mr. Li's needs! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He said, "Let's go! Let's go see the patient again! "
Heart for heart. If you gave enough kindness to the other party, the other party would naturally feel it and also release kindness in return.
Sometimes, things in the world were like this. A little more warmth might not be any worse than a tough approach.
Xia Ruofei, Li Yifu, and Elon Musk went to the next room. Grimes was sitting next to the crib, staring blankly at Little X, who was still sleeping soundly.
"Dear!" Grimes said softly. "Little X seems to be sleeping very soundly today. A few days ago, he was often woken up by pain in his sleep, and his little eyebrows were always wrinkled. Today, however, they are relaxed, and there is even a smile on the corner of his mouth!"
When Elon Musk saw his son, his eyes softened a lot. He leaned over to take a look and said happily, "It's true!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Maybe he knows that he will soon be free from the torment of his illness, so he is smiling in his sleep!"
