At 7:25 p.m., Li Yao, director of Huashan Hospital, walked into an unprepossessing small restaurant on Chunshui Road.
He walked straight into a small private room and sat down at the dining table opposite Qi Yue.
"Old Qi, what you said is really a big deal that will leave a name in the history of medicine. My dinner has just been laid out, and I haven't eaten a single chopstick yet."
Li Yao said angrily: "This is the first day in the past few days that I have time to stay at home for dinner."
"When I left, the person in my family showed me a lot of looks."
Qi Yue chuckled and said, "Dean Li, am I the kind of person who has no clue?"
“If you say it’s a big deal, it’s definitely a big deal.”
He picked up the chopsticks and said, "Dean, eat some first."
"Although this small shop has a small appearance, the food it cooks is quite delicious. It is my private reservation. I would not bring other people here."
Although Li Yao was a little anxious about what the major event Qi Yue mentioned was, as the head of a hospital, he still had some patience.
Besides, he was really hungry.
Li Yao picked up his chopsticks and tasted the seemingly ordinary home-cooked dishes on the table, and his eyes lit up.
"Not bad, really good."
"Home-cooked dishes have an unusual taste, are fresh and delicious, and you can't stop eating them. It's worth frequenting."
At that moment, he drank a bowl of rice with these delicious home-cooked dishes and ate half full.
Li Yao picked up the soup bowl again and drank the remaining half of the soup, then placed the bowl gently on the dining table.
"Old Qi, you can say it now."
Qi Yue picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said slowly: "Dean, my student is so smart that he can easily detect early-stage cancer in a person."
"You know this, right?"
Li Yao resisted the urge to get angry and urged angrily: "Director Qi Yue, please go straight to the point and don't talk nonsense."
Qi Yue picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and slowly put the teacup down under Li Yao's displeased gaze.
"This ability of perception and detection is the talent of that boy Zhiming, and it is impossible for others to learn it."
"If, Dean, I'm just saying what if..."
Qi Yue leaned forward a little and raised his voice a little, "One hundred patients with early-stage liver cancer have been detected in Zhiming."
"We have conducted detailed examinations of these 100 early-stage liver cancer patients one by one, and found several key and common physical indicators..."
Speaking of this, Qi Yue noticed that Li Yao's eyes seemed to be lit with fire, and there was a burning heat.
He knew that Dean Li had understood the key.
"Dean, if these key data can be widely used to screen early-stage liver cancer patients..."
"Is this a major event in the history of medicine?"
Li Yao stared at Qi Yue with sharp eyes and said thoughtfully: "It shouldn't be easy to accomplish this, right?"
Qi Yue nodded and said: "It is indeed not easy. First, it is not easy to accumulate enough experimental samples."
"It requires Zhiming's continuous and unremitting efforts, and it also takes a long time to accumulate slowly. A few years is considered a short time."
"Second, this detailed examination of the body and cancerous organs is expensive, or in other words, huge."
"The inspection cost for one person alone would cost hundreds of thousands. Multiplied by dozens or hundreds of people, the cost would be huge."
"Third, the possibility of failure is also very high."
"In the end, it is very likely that it will be all in vain, and there will be no key indicator data that can be universally applied."
"But..."
Qi Yue said word for word: "Once we succeed and find a very early screening and detection indicator for a certain cancer..."
"Dean, with our current medical technology, it is not an exaggeration to say that we have conquered this kind of cancer."
"Boom", "Boom"...
Li Yao tapped the dining table rhythmically with his fingers and said with a serious face: "This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Even if there is no hope, it is still worth our all-out efforts."
"Tomorrow, I will convene a temporary office meeting."
"Lao Qi, you also participate."
Li Yao said methodically: "Let's unify our thoughts first. After making a preliminary decision, I will go to the Health Commission and the deputy mayor to provide strong support."
Qi Yue smiled softly and said: "Dean, it is foreseeable that this is a large-scale investment project that will last for several years, or even more than ten years. It will be very difficult for our Huashan Hospital alone."
"You might as well find some partners..."
Qi Yue met Li Yao's gaze and introduced further.
"For example, our hospital has a comparative advantage in liver cancer and liver disease research, and we can focus on early-stage liver cancer."
"For breast cancer, you can cooperate with the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University."
"In this way, we can spread the risks and financial pressure. Besides, Zhiming is one of our people."
"No matter which hospital produces research results, the contribution of our Huashan Hospital cannot be ignored."
Li Yao nodded in agreement.
Qi Yue went on to say: "His energy is obviously limited, and he cannot devote all his energy to examining patients."
"So, it is better to have one or two cooperative units."
Li Yao nodded again and said: "We must protect Dr. Yu's growth and physical and mental health, and we can cooperate with up to two units."
"The Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University is part of the same family as us, so this benefit must come from them."
Li Yao also understood in his heart.
The Jiaotong University gang has huge power in Huashan Hospital. Instead of having to give up the benefits in the end, it is better to be more proactive and show their magnanimity.
He looked at the empty rice bowl in front of him and said regretfully: "Discussing such an important matter should be accompanied by good wine!"
"But we can only eat two more bowls of rice."
Qi Yue laughed and said: "There is some good wine."
As he spoke, he bent down and took out a bottle of red wine and two goblets from under the dining table.
"This is one of the best red wines in my collection. It has been sobered up. Let's taste it together!"
Qi Yue poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Li Yao. Seeing the complaining expression on his face, he laughed.
"Drink after a meal to keep healthy!"
Li Yao made a light cut, and he and Qi Yue banged the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and tasted it.
“The aroma is rich and pure, and the aftertaste is lingering. It’s an absolute fine wine!”
Li Yao commented, and then Qi Yue suddenly asked: "Are the young doctors we sent out for further training last year coming back?"
Li Yao hummed and said: "They have come back one after another. We sent out eleven people and made sure that two of them will not return."
He sighed again: "It's like this every time. Some people who are sent out to study are always unwilling to come back."
"Is it that good abroad?"
Li Yao suddenly asked alertly: "Old Qi, you are not thinking of sending Dr. Yu abroad for further study, are you?"
"How could it be?"
Qi Yue swallowed the red wine in his mouth and continued: "He is still in the stage of laying a solid foundation and there is no need to study elsewhere."
"I will not arrange further studies until he reaches the growth bottleneck. Of course, it is still necessary to attend medical conferences appropriately and broaden his horizons."
Li Yao chuckled with satisfaction and said: "I know that although you seem to be unscrupulous, old Qi, you are the most sensible in your heart."
"I feel relieved that Dr. Yu is under your care!"
Qi Yue smiled again and asked casually: "Qiu Yi, the young and influential figure from before, will he come back too?"
"His roots are in our Huashan, why doesn't he come back?"
Li Yao replied casually and said proudly: "We have Qiu Yi, and here comes the even more talented Yu Zhiming."
"With these two gems in hand, our Huashan Hospital has a promising future. It is on the verge of great success."
Qi Yue let out a soft chuckle and struck: "Dean Li, don't be too eager to be happy. You seem to have forgotten one thing."
"Qiu Yi's mother is the major shareholder and director of Yaoming Pharmaceutical."
As the director of a large hospital, Li Yao's sensitivity is naturally not weak, and he immediately caught the implication of Qi Yue's words.
"That thing, is it Qiu Yi?"
Qi Yue shook his head and said: "There is no evidence!"
After pausing for a moment, he said slowly: "Although this guy Zhi Ming is a bit squeamish and not smart enough in dealing with things, he is soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and can be called a benevolent person."
"But Qiu Yi..."
Qi Yue commented softly: "Since I was a child, I have always been accustomed to being the best. I seem to be gentle, but in fact I am arrogant."
"He may not be willing to condescend to others."
Li Yao drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp and said solemnly: "There is no evidence, let's just wait and see how things develop!"
"If there is a conflict, I can still tell the difference between the two of them clearly..."
