"Uncle Du, haven't you found any clues about the traffic accident?"
Ding Ning asked with some surprise. He knew that the traffic accident was a conspiracy. If he had not been there, more people would have died.
"No, Hu Quan is very stubborn. He insists that he was in a bad mood and drove drunk. He is willing to accept any legal sanctions. He is determined to fight with me until the end."
Mayor Du said angrily.
"Tock, tock, tock!"
Ding Ning's knuckles gently tapped the table and he was lost in thought.
Mayor Du lowered his head to drink tea silently. Although the huge traffic accident caused by Hu Quan at the behest of others was not enough for him to take the blame and resign, it was very disgusting. He had to take the leadership responsibility, and it would become an indelible stain on his resume, which would definitely have some negative impact on the change of office next year. If it could not be solved as soon as possible, his dream of going to Yan Jing to work in the ministry to realize his political ambition would completely come to nothing. After all, he was not young anymore, and next year was his last chance.
Although the Qiao Family was a powerful aristocratic family, it could not hide the truth with one hand. Besides, the relationship between the four aristocratic families had always been very subtle. They treated each other as brothers on the surface but stabbed each other in the back many times. In addition, Ninghai was a very special city, which was known as the cradle of the Central Agency's bosses, so whether he would stay or not attracted much attention.
The situation was intricate and related to the game between the senior officials. Imperceptibly, the traffic accident had become a sharp knife that determined the fate of Mayor Du's official career, which made him feel like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He was depressed but had no one to talk to. When he mentioned it to Ding Ning, he did not expect him to come up with any solution, but just vented his depression.
"Uncle Du, I remember that Hu Quan has a son with leukemia, right?"
Ding Ning suddenly asked, with his clear eyes with the power to see through people's hearts.
Mayor Du calmly met his eyes, nodded, and said, "Yes, he has a son named Hu Xiaobing, who has leukemia. Now Hu Quan's cousin, Gao Meiling, is taking care of him."
Then Mayor Du seemed to think of something, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Are you going to cure him?"
"No, leukemia is not so easy to cure. If you can cure it, it will be good, but if you can't, it may backfire. Forget it, don't take the risk."
But Mayor Du soon shook his head and felt that it was unrealistic. Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, was an extremely difficult disease to treat among cancers. Although he trusted Ding Ning's medical skills, he did not have much hope that Ding Ning could cure blood cancer.
Seeing that Mayor Du's expression did not seem to be fake, Ding Ning was relieved. If Mayor Du deliberately played tricks and mentioned this matter to make him take action, he would eventually take action, but he would feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Mayor Du did not let him down.
Since Hu Quan treated him with sincerity, Ding Ning was also a person who returned a favor with a favor. He said with a smile, "Hu Quan would rather die than speak. It's just that the person behind the scenes gave him a lot of money to pay Hu Xiaobing's medical expenses and extend his life. Uncle Du, tell him that as long as he is willing to speak, I can cure Hu Xiaobing's leukemia. I believe he will speak."
"Can you really cure leukemia?"
Mayor Du was not as ecstatic as Ding Ning expected. Instead, he frowned and advised him earnestly, "Little Ding, I know you want to help me, but I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept the gift. I can't affect your future because of my trivial matter. You are now the dean of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia, an academician of the Academy of Sciences, and a professor of the Medical College. Every move of yours will attract attention. Once this news spreads out, if you can't cure leukemia, your reputation will be greatly affected. I can't let you take the risk."
Before Ding Ning could speak, Mayor Du waved his hand and continued, "You may not pay attention to the trend of public opinion during this period, so you don't know the influence you have now. Since Lancet published your paper at the beginning of this month, you have been the focus of attention all over the world. The main reason why I asked you to stay today is to tell you a few things."
Ding Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that Mayor Du still did not know that he had cured Mrs. Guan's lung cancer. It seemed that Commander Guan was really a man who kept his promise. However, Mayor Du's concern also made him feel warm in his heart. Mayor Du was considerate of him in all aspects and really regarded him as his nephew.
"First, the World Medical Association has sent a letter to the National Ministry of Health. In the near future, Ms. Kalina, the president of the association, will personally lead a team to Shenzhou to verify your meridian theory. If you can get the approval of the World Medical Association, the meridian theory will be officially recognized by the international medical community, and those who doubt it will shut their mouths."
Mayor Du looked at Ding Ning seriously. "You have to be prepared. The country attaches great importance to the visit of the World Medical Association this time. The leaders of the State Council entrusted me to convey instructions to you. This is a great opportunity to promote the recovery of traditional medicine in the world. I hope you can do your best to prove the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine."
"I will."
Although Ding Ning did not take it seriously, he solemnly nodded and agreed. After all, if he wanted to prove the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine, this was indeed a very good opportunity.
"The second thing is that you will become an academician of the Academy of Sciences and enjoy the national special allowance. Although I know that you are not short of money, you still need to have the welfare you deserve. So, I was entrusted to choose a villa for you as your residence. This is the key to the villa."
Mayor Du's expression softened, and he took out a key with a smile. "In addition to the villa, there is an Audi A8, which is all yours. There is a special floor in the villa as a laboratory. If you need any experimental equipment, just tell me. The country will be responsible for providing all of them for you."
"Hehe, I really have welfare. Okay, then I will make a list later. Please help me to report it, Uncle Du!"
Ding Ning did not refuse. He reached out to take the key and looked at it with joy. Although he was not short of money or a house, he did not want the free things. Moreover, he had so many women, and the house was really not enough for him to live in.
For example, Pan Xiangyun and Lan Mengdie had signed a contract with Tiangong Entertainment and would stay in Ninghai for a long time in the future. They could not always live in Ye Huan and Lan Mengdie's home.
Zhao Jingjing was still in school. Although she usually lived in the dormitory, he could not get a room with her every time he went on a date. Anyway, he was a celebrity now. If someone took a photo of him and posted it on the Internet, it would be terrible.
Xiaoyao and Xiao Nuo were still living in a rented house, and Wen Rourou was also living with him. Although she was not his woman, she was his student after all. He could not always live with Xiao Nuo and Xiaoyao.
Of course, he would never admit that he actually wanted to send Wen Rourou away so that she would not affect his loving life with Xiao Nuo and Xiaoyao.
Although he could live in No.1 Shengshi Huating Courtyard, when he thought of the scene of a group of women getting together, he could not help but feel numb. He planned to buy a villa for Xiao Nuo, Xiaoyao, and Zhao Jingjing each after selling the gold and getting the money. This house came at the right time. He could save a lot of money and have one more place to hide his mistresses.
"The third thing is that the assimilation drug you gave me last time has entered the fourth stage of clinical trials. In half a month, it will get the drug production license. Someone asked me to ask you if you can authorize others to produce and sell it."
When he said this, Mayor Du's face was a little red. Ding Ning had authorized the production and sale of the Rice Bean Oral Liquid to the state for free. Now he was embarrassed to ask for it.
The most important thing was that he knew that this was not the intention of the state at all, but some people in the Qiao Family were optimistic about the sales prospects of the assimilation drug and wanted to get a share of it. He was embarrassed to refuse, so he could only sound him out. So when he saw Ding Ning frown, he hurriedly explained, "This is not compulsory. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. It will not have any impact."
"Uncle Du, it's not that I don't want to contribute to the state, but the raw materials needed for this assimilation drug are extremely rare and precious. Even if I publish the formula, no one in the world can produce it."
Ding Ning said helplessly, but he was extremely unhappy in his heart. The Rice Bean Oral Liquid benefited all mankind. It was okay for him to authorize it for free, but the assimilation drug was very specialized in specific fields and was far less applicable than the Rice Bean Oral Liquid. He did not believe that the state would make such a shameless request.
"Little Ding, since you said so, I'm relieved. I won't hide it from you. Some people in the Qiao Family entrusted me to ask about it, so I can't refuse. Don't take it to heart!"
Mayor Du said with a wry smile. As the son-in-law of a wealthy family, he often had no choice. He knew that some words would hurt Ding Ning's feelings, but he had to say it. He knew Ding Ning's temperament, so he simply told the truth to save some face. Otherwise, he would really offend Ding Ning completely.
"Uncle Du, I understand. The Qiao Family is the Qiao Family, and you are you. I can distinguish clearly."
Ding Ning replied with a smile. He had a good impression of Mayor Du and understood his difficulties. Mayor Du's honesty was enough to prove his sincerity. Mayor Du was not so stingy to make trouble with him for such a trivial matter. Ding Ning smiled and replied.
"It's good that you can understand. I don't want to make you unhappy because of this and affect the relationship between us. On the whole, the Qiao Family is still very good, but there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. There are always a few people who have great ambitions but little talent and like to take advantage of others."
Mayor Du breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a little self-mockery. Then he solemnly exhorted, "But Little Ding, you should also be careful. According to the information I got, because the Rice Bean Oral Solution is authorized to be produced and sold by the state for free, now many pharmaceutical companies with strong backgrounds have approached the leaders of the Central Agency through their connections, wanting to get the authorized quota for the designated manufacturers of the Rice Bean Oral Solution, and they are almost making a scene. Now many of these people are also eyeing the assimilation drug, and I'm afraid that they will soon approach you to buy the authorization. Some pharmaceutical companies have very strong backgrounds, and I'm afraid that they will use some shady means when they can't get the authorization."
"Humph, I won't give this authorization to anyone, because none of them has the production capacity. If they want to make trouble for me, just come. I'm not a person who is afraid of trouble."
With a flash of coldness in his eyes, Ding Ning said confidently.
It would be fine if these people followed the rules, but if they dared to play tricks with him, he was not a kind person. The assimilation drug was the first drug launched by Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company on the market. Not to mention that those people could not find the Deep Sea Fire Coral, even if they found it, he would not authorize it to anyone. Monopoly was the most profitable business in the world.
After Mayor Du kindly reminded him, he suddenly remembered that Ding Ning was now not only a doctor, but also the dean of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia, a professor of Ninghai Medical College, and the director of the Ninghai Branch of the Seventeenth Department. With all these halos, he had reached a height that ordinary people could not reach, and no one could touch him.
