"The higher-ups haven't agreed yet, have they?"
Ding Ning's eyes flickered, and he asked softly.
"Not yet. It's a matter of great importance, and the higher-ups are also very hesitant, because some people have already said that they want to have a medical competition with high stakes, and the stakes are very difficult for our country to refuse."
Governor Du said softly with some difficulty. He knew that Ding Ning was a smart person and would understand what kind of tricks were behind this matter.
Ding Ning did not speak, lit a cigarette, and soon figured out the key points, and finally knew why Governor Du called him so late.
The traditional medicine of Shenzhou had reached a critical moment of life and death. If they succeeded, there was hope for the revival of traditional medicine, and they could quickly be recognized by the international community; if they failed, traditional medicine would be trampled into the abyss again, and it was very likely that they would never be able to rise again. Even the release of the Rice Bean Oral Solution after the Spring Festival would be collectively questioned, blocked, and rejected by the international medical community.
There was no need to question whether they had the ability. As long as they could trample Shenzhou medicine under their feet at the International Medical Summit, they would have enough reasons and excuses to slander Shenzhou medicine.
To put it bluntly, they wanted to deliberately target Shenzhou, but they needed a high-sounding reason to find a piece of cloth for themselves so that they could take action. After deceiving the foreign people who did not know the truth, they could guide international public opinion and discredit Shenzhou medicine.
It seemed that the emergence of the Rice Bean Oral Solution had made those international pharmaceutical giants restless, and they would never watch Shenzhou occupy the huge market share of anti-inflammatory drugs.
The International Medical Summit was just a cover, and their real purpose was to kill the revival of traditional medicine of Shenzhou, obstruct the release of the Rice Bean Oral Solution, and even control this new anti-inflammatory drug in the form of a medical competition bet, making it a tool for them to make a fortune.
In the face of such an opportunity to let traditional medicine be recognized by the international community at the fastest speed, and the other side offered a bet that even the high-level officials of Shenzhou Country could not refuse, the high-level officials of the country were in such a dilemma.
In the face of these people's naked declaration of war, even for the sake of Shenzhou Country's reputation, the country would not directly refuse, but they were not completely sure that Ding Ning could win the bet, so they had been stalling for time to ask for his opinion and then make the final decision.
Governor Du … No, not only him, but also the highest decision-makers in the country, or many medical workers, had pinned the hope of the revival of traditional medicine on him.
Governor Du was just a person who was responsible for passing the message to him. At the same time, he also wanted to test his attitude. If he had enough confidence to show the prestige of Shenzhou and make those medical experts with bad intentions return in failure, perhaps the country's top officials would make up their minds to accept this battle that was related to the country's honor.
Seeing that Ding Ning did not speak, Governor Du sighed in his heart and somewhat regretted volunteering to take this task.
This was because he knew very well that this matter was no longer just a pure competition of medical skills. It had risen to the level of a game between countries, and its profound significance was beyond anyone's imagination.
To fight or not? This choice was also very difficult for Ding Ning. He was gambling with all of his future, future, and reputation.
If he won, of course, everyone would be happy; but if he lost, he would become a sinner of the country and be condemned by countless disappointed Shenzhou people. He would be nailed to the shelf of shame in history and be notorious for thousands of years. Even the country would hold him responsible for the anger of the people.
After all, this was related to the country's reputation. Facing a challenge, if he surrendered without fighting, the whole country would be caught in the storm of international public opinion. The country was already riding a tiger, and there was no way back.
"I don't have time before the Spring Festival. I want to have a good Spring Festival, so let's choose March 3rd."
Ding Ning was not thinking about the pressure he had to bear and the gains and losses as Governor Du thought, but was calculating when he would have time. He was very busy, and every minute cost him dozens of yuan. How could he have so much time to play house with those ignorant guys?
"You … How sure are you?"
Governor Du's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he asked with some expectation and some anxiety.
"A good doctor will never say how sure he is before entering the operating room, but I am a doctor who thinks my medical skills are good, so I will boast that I am 80% sure."
Ding Ning said lazily and felt a little funny in his heart. "Will you believe me if I say I am 100% sure? I'd rather make you feel that 80% is more reliable. "
"80%? Really 80%? Good, good, good. It's really great. Ding Ning, if you can win this time, you can make any request, and I will report it to the management. "
Governor Du was so excited that he kept cheering incoherently. In fact, he was very confident in Ding Ning, who woke up a vegetative person and saved a cancer patient. He really did not believe that there was anyone in the world who had better medical skills than him.
But this time, it was a matter of great importance. No matter how he praised Ding Ning, the bosses in the management could not reach a unified opinion, which made him very anxious. But Ding Ning's promise of 80% gave him the confidence to persuade the bosses, and of course, he could make any request.
"It's what I should do to serve the country. I don't …"
Ding Ning was about to make a good impression on the bosses with a strong sense of righteousness. Suddenly, he thought of Du Mosheng. Although he made up his mind to erase her memory, when he thought that she would forget him and marry another man and have children, he could not help but feel a stab of pain in his heart. Perhaps, this was a great opportunity to solve the problem between them.
"No request, good, good, haha, you have a high consciousness …"
Hearing this, Governor Du was even happier. "If you have a request, you have a low consciousness, but if you don't have a request, you have a high consciousness." He was about to praise Ding Ning, who had a good idea, but was rudely interrupted by him. "Uncle Du, I do have a request, but it's not for the country, but for you personally."
"For me? What request? Tell me, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will never be vague. "
Governor Du's face was almost black. "If you want to contribute to the country, you should make a request to the country. Why do you want to make a request to me personally?" But he still had to say it out of courtesy, so he immediately made a righteous statement.
"I haven't thought about it yet. When I think about it later, I will tell you. Don't worry, I will never violate my principles. I know Uncle Du is a man of principles."
Ding Ning secretly cursed the old fox, but secretly laughed in his heart. "Marrying your daughter is not against your principles, right? Let's see how you will fulfill your promise."
"Okay, I owe you a promise, a promise that does not violate your principles. When you think about it, you can mention it to me at any time."
Governor Du was also full of smiles. "It's just an empty promise. Whether it violates my principles or not, it's not up to me to decide."
So the two foxes, one big and one small, showed a complacent smile. Unfortunately, they could not see each other through the phone, otherwise, both of them would be shocked. Why were their smiles so similar at this moment?
"Well, we've finished talking about business. Now let's talk about private matters."
Governor Du changed the topic, and Ding Ning's heart suddenly rose again. He said with fear, "What's the private matter?"
"I've been very busy during this time, and your Aunt Qiao has been recuperating, and Mosheng has been studying abroad, so I haven't had time. Look, your aunt is recovering well now, and she has been talking about cooking and treating you to a meal. Now Mosheng has come back for the holidays. I'll call you in two days and ask you to come to my home and have a meal."
Governor Du said with a smile.
"Uncle Du, it's just a small matter. You're too polite. You really don't need to do that."
Ding Ning was very unwilling to go and hurriedly refused.
He was already guilty and had no time to hide. If he had to face Governor Du's family of three, especially Du Mosheng, he could already foresee how awkward the situation would be.
"You child, it's a small matter for you, but it's a life-saving grace for our family. Besides, you call me uncle, so we are family. It's natural for you to come to my home and have a meal. Don't refuse. Wait for my call, do you hear me?"
Governor Du pretended to be displeased and said, but his words had the tone of an elder's command to a junior.
Ding Ning smiled bitterly and helplessly, knowing that he could not refuse. "Well, I'll wait for your call."
"Haha, okay, then it's settled. I'll ask Secretary Xu to pick you up. That's all."
Governor Du's anger turned into joy, and he laughed and hung up the phone directly.
Ding Ning lit a cigarette and sat in the car in a daze. The phone call made him lose his impulse, and he had no intention of looking for Song Ziyi.
He really didn't take the World Medical Exchange Conference seriously, but even a lion would use all its strength to hunt a rabbit, so he would never take it lightly.
But he didn't understand. Since these people deliberately wanted to deal with him, it was impossible for them not to investigate him.
Even if they only investigated his superficial information, these guys should be very clear that he was very strong. But in this case, they still dared to make a big bet to provoke him, which was enough to show that they must have the confidence to crush him.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning had a trace of vigilance in his heart. Perhaps, he had underestimated these people.
Even a lion would use all its strength to hunt a rabbit. He couldn't be careless. If he failed miserably, it would be troublesome.
He opened the window and flicked the butt of the cigarette out in a poor manner. It drew a parabola in the air and fell on the sidewalk on the side of the road. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared straight to Shengshi Huating Palace.
He didn't go to find Song Ziyi but went directly back to Villa No.1 to activate the transmission array and return to Paradise Island.
The ten mahjong tables that he had asked someone to buy early in the morning had been neatly placed in the hall, and the women had begun to build the Great Wall in full swing.
Looking at his women in high spirits and happy spirits, his somewhat depressed mood inexplicably improved, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"You're back. I heard that you spent 15 billion yuan to expand Tiangong Entertainment. Are you going to be an entertainment tycoon?"
His sister appeared behind him like a ghost and said with a smile.
"Sister, you still don't know me. I'm not that ambitious. Today's decision was purely on a whim, but it was also the result of my careful consideration."
Ding Ning reached out to hold his sister's slender waist and held her in his arms. Smelling the fragrance of her hair after she had just taken a bath, he chuckled in her ear and said, "I've been thinking about a problem."
"What problem?"
Being held in his arms, Ding Qianlie slightly narrowed her eyes and enjoyed his broad embrace, asking softly like a lazy kitten.
"Why do you think the earth is round?"
Ding Ning's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he asked a completely unrelated question.
"Why is the earth round?"
Ding Qianlie was caught off guard by this question. She opened her mouth in shock and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
