Dr. Fit is a self-disciplined man, but also a poor man. Although he holds a high position, is well-known in Thailand, and is the head of the Royal Medical Research Institute, he lives in a very ordinary apartment and has no money at home.
There are too many servants, there is only one female cook to help cook, and a driver to drive.
In addition, after Dr. Fit devoted himself to medical services in Thailand, he brought his beloved wife Tris to Thailand from the United States and let their children attend international schools here. Mrs. Tris helps to transport them to and from school on weekdays.
And the daily life of taking care of the children.
Mrs. Tracey is also a great woman. She originally studied painting in the United States, but had to give up her beloved career for her husband's career, and came all the way from the United States to Thailand, a place she was unfamiliar with.
Originally, Mrs. Tracey wanted to continue her painting work and hold painting exhibitions here after coming to Thailand, but she gave up this career again in order to take care of her husband and children.
It can be said that Mrs. Tracey sacrificed a lot for Dr. Fitt.
Dr. Fitt made a rare trip home these days and enjoyed a very sweet world with his wife Tris.
But at this sweet moment, several phone calls from Shi Zhijian broke their peaceful life.
At this moment, Mrs. Tracey had already put on the white evening dress that she had not worn for a long time in front of the dressing mirror that she bought specially from England. This evening dress was a wedding gift from Dr. Fitt when she first got married. Although it was not very expensive,
But she is cherished by Mrs. Cuisi to this day.
After changing clothes, Mrs. Tracey walked to her husband, Dr. Fit, and helped Dr. Fit tidy up the hem of his suit and tied his tie. She said, "My dear, you can refuse if you don't want to go."
, after all, you and the man named Shi don’t know each other, so there is no need to attend his invitation."
Dr. Fit put the inexpensive Tissot watch on his wrist, shrugged, and adjusted his suit: "Having said that, that young man gave me a reason that I couldn't refuse."
"What's the reason?" Cuisifu looked up at her husband: "For you, nothing seems to impress you, except for the damn medical research that makes me jealous..."
"You're right, dear!" Dr. Fit turned around and faced his back to the mirror so that his wife could help him smooth out the trace of indentation on his back, and said: "That's the damn thing.
Medical research! Do you remember that I proposed the ban on penicillin? This young man actually made a bold proposal to me, asking me to lift the ban on this contraband..."
"What, asking you to lift the ban?" Mrs. Tris was also stunned for a moment, "Don't he know what this ban means to you?"
Mrs. Tracey fully supported her husband in proposing this ban to Shangfeng, and the higher-ups also cooperated very well with Dr. Fitt's work and quickly implemented the ban.
Now if Dr. Fit proposes lifting the ban again, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face.
"Maybe he knows, no, he should know!" Dr. Fite shrugged: "That's why it's interesting, and it's also the reason why I can't refuse his invitation---because he told me that after meeting today, he will give me a bad idea.
The specific reason for not lifting the ban! To be honest, my dear, I am looking forward to his reason!"
"Maybe he just found some excuse to get close to you?" Mrs. Tracey helped Dr. Fitt fasten the tie clip with her own hands, and then helped him smooth the tie. "You know, there have been many people here since you took office.
Everyone wants to find opportunities to get close to you, such as Director Naiwan of the Drug Administration last time - he even gave me a super expensive diamond necklace in order to have dinner with you!"
"Really? How come I don't know about this? Have you collected that necklace?" Dr. Fitt straightened up his appearance and looked at his wife spreading her hands with an exaggerated expression of shock: "You know, if you
If I accept that necklace, I will be in trouble!"
"Of course not! Although I can't do anything for you, I won't deliberately hold you back. I returned the diamond necklace to him! Of course, I was really tempted at that moment. After all, it is what every woman dreams of.
baby!"
"You did a great job, my dear! I'm proud of you!" Dr. Fitt took a step forward, kissed his wife naturally, and said with a smile: "Believe me, although I can't give you a bright diamond, I can give you a bright diamond.
It can bring you incomparable dazzling glory! Yes, although diamonds shine, they will never be as bright as people’s excellent character!”
"You will also say such words to comfort me! But I'm used to it, because I know that you are such a person, and you will always be so bright in my heart!" Mrs. Cuisi glanced at her husband full of love.
Dr. Fit held her in his arms happily, "One day, yes, there will always be one day, I will let you have the most precious thing in the world!"
"Now I already have you, my dear! Having you by my side is more precious than anything else!" Mrs. Tracey said emotionally.
Dr. Fit smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost time, we should leave, otherwise Mr. Shi will be waiting impatiently! I really want to know what he used to persuade me to give up the ban!"
As he spoke, Dr. Fit gently hugged his wife and walked toward the door of his home, but in his heart, he had no expectations for tonight's meeting.
…
Bangkok, Pattaya restaurant.
When Dr. Fit and Mrs. Cuisi arrived at the restaurant together, Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, was already standing gracefully outside the restaurant door waiting for their arrival. When he saw them appearing, he greeted them politely: "Welcome, dear Cui.
Mrs. Si, and the respected Dr. Fit!" It turned out to be a very standard British emphasis.
It was the first time for both parties to meet, and it must be said that Shi Zhijian himself was a good-looking person, at least in the eyes of Dr. Fitt and Mrs. Tracey, he was a young man with impressive abilities.
The two parties shook hands, and Shi Zhijian made another very gentlemanly invitation gesture. From head to toe, he looked completely British. This once again surprised Dr. Fitt and his wife. If they hadn't seen with their own eyes that Shi Zhijian was Chinese, they would have even suspected that the person in front of them was Chinese.
This man is a thoroughly British gentleman.
It's no wonder that Shi Zhijian has stayed in London, England for at least that long. Whether it's British etiquette or his British accent, everything is precise and skillful.
Accompanied by Shi Zhijian, the three of them entered the restaurant and took their seats together.
When he was seated, Shi Zhijian once again displayed his gentlemanly demeanor and took the initiative to help Mrs. Cuisi pull out her chair and give up her seat, which made Mrs. Cuisi's affection for him double.
Dr. Fitt also took everything into account. From the meeting to now, it can be confirmed that Shi Zhijian is a very good young man and has high personal accomplishment.
In fact, Americans of this era admire the old British style of the British Empire. The same goes for Dr. Fitt. Although he is an American, he yearns for the very orthodox British style. In his opinion, the United States actually existed long ago.
It is the place where the British exiled prisoners. The British are the masters of the Americans. The British are beyond the reach of Americans like them in terms of history, humanities, and civilized qualities.
These British elements that Shi Zhijian "unintentionally" displayed have doubled Dr. Fitt's favorable impression of him. At the very least, they distinguish Shi Zhijian from ordinary businessmen.
The three of them sat down and Shi Zhijian waved to the waiter. The waiter brought an exquisite gift box and put it on the table. Shi Zhijian said to Mrs. Cuisi: "Dear madam, according to our Chinese traditional etiquette, the first time we meet is especially the first time.
When I meet a beautiful lady like you, I need to give you a gift. This is the 'meeting gift' I specially prepared for you. Please take a look at it!"
Mrs. Tracey glanced at her husband, Dr. Fitt, intentionally or unintentionally.
Dr. Fit's eyes were meaningful, as if he was saying to his wife, "Look, I have a good impression of him, but he is also a small person who gives gifts and builds friendships. Don't be stunned. Open it and take a look at him."
Is it a diamond necklace I am giving you, or some kind of pearl agate?
Mrs. Cuisi understood what her husband meant, and sighed slightly in her heart, saying that it would be a pity to reject even the most beautiful baby! But she didn’t know whether it was a pity for this gift, or a pity for a person like Shi Zhijian, who is elegant and British-style.
.
Out of politeness, Mrs. Cuisi expressed her gratitude to Shi Zhijian in a decent manner, and then opened the outer packaging of the gift box in person. Inside was a small oil painting! On the oil painting, two people were cuddling together, with their backs to the audience.
Sitting on the beach, watching the sunset and the gentle coconut breeze.
"This painting-----" Mrs. Tracey showed a hint of surprise on her face.
Even Dr. Fit couldn't help but look surprised: "Isn't this painting something you created before?"
Dr. Fite looked at his wife.
Mrs. Tracey didn't answer, but her expression said everything.
Yes, this painting was indeed created by her, and it was when Dr. Fitt was passionately in love. However, at that time, because Dr. Fitt continued to study for a doctorate and was short of money, Mrs. Tracey reluctantly painted this painting in a street exhibition.
The most proud and cherished oil painting was sold, and the selling price was only fifty dollars!
After Dr. Fit became famous, he has always been worried about this matter. In his opinion, this is his wife's most perfect work, especially this painting embodies the most precious love between the two.
"God, how come this painting is in your hands?" Dr. Fit asked Shi Zhijian on behalf of his wife.
"If I said that I came across this painting by chance and bought it to give to you two, then I would obviously be lying; the real truth is that I found this painting after a lot of hard work, and my purpose is very simple.
I just want to give it to you two to make you happy! That's all. I just don't know if you and your wife, Doctor, like it?" Shi Zhijian said to Dr. Fit.
Shi Zhijian has been in business for so long that he has thoroughly studied the so-called human nature. People like Dr. Fitt regard reputation as more important than money all their lives. However, above reputation, people like them also have a "spiritual mysophobia".
", that is, I like to show affection, like to remember the past, and like to promote the past sufferings as the motivation for my own struggle from time to time.
This is also the reason why Shi Zhijian knew this painting. Dr. Fitt told people many times that his dear wife sold a very beautiful oil painting for fifty dollars in order to support him. This was his lifelong regret.
It was also the motivation for his struggle. Every time after hearing these stories of Dr. Fitt, the audience couldn't help but give him a strong applause, which fully satisfied Dr. Fitt's vanity.
So now, Shi Zhijian bought back this painting and gave it to them. The sincerity he expressed is absolutely overwhelming!
"I like it very much, thank you, Shi!" Dr. Fit said to Shi Zhijian: "This painting is what I dream of. Yes, many times I dreamed of finding it and returning it to my wife with my own hands. Now
, you helped me do it! Thank you, sincerely!" Dr. Feite expressed his gratitude to Shi Zhijian, and by the way mentioned his guilt and love for his wife.
Mrs. Cuisi was also very happy and put the oil painting away with great care.
At this time, Dr. Fitt changed the topic and said to Shi Zhijian in a hoarse and dark voice: "Dear Shi, you have gone through so much trouble to give us such a gift, shouldn't you just meet us and have a drink?
Coffee bar?”
Shi Zhijian smiled at Dr. Fit: "Dear Doctor, you should be very clear about the specific reason why I am here to find you. Yes, I hope you can help lift the ban on contraband like penicillin!"
"I need a reason, dear Shi! I need a reason that is strong enough to support me in lifting this ban!" Dr. Fit said seriously: "After all, I proposed this ban. To be precise, this ban was proposed by me.
The orders issued are being implemented in an orderly manner throughout Thailand, but now, I suddenly want to lift this ban, and you should know what consequences this will bring to me!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Of course I understand your difficulties and the reasons why you do this. In fact, in my opinion, penicillin is definitely a top-notch anti-inflammatory drug that can cure diseases and save lives. The reason why accidents happen frequently is because of some
People’s bodies are different.”
As he spoke, Shi Zhijian took out a stack of information from the briefcase he was carrying, and then handed it to Dr. Fit: "These are some experiments I asked people to do, as well as the experimental results. In fact, the use of penicillin can be controlled. The most important thing is
It’s a skin test——”
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhijian explained to Dr. Fitt what a "penicillin skin test" was.
At the beginning, Dr. Fit was not very good, his expression was calm, and his eyes were even a little disdainful. In his opinion, Shi Zhijian was just a layman, who did not understand such profound knowledge as medicine. Talking about these things in front of him was simply a trick!
But gradually, as Shi Zhijian's explanation deepened, Dr. Fitt felt more and more miraculous as he listened, and his expression began to become solemn. The disdain in his eyes had already turned into astonishment - Shi Zhijian's pharmacological understanding.
