Xue Xi couldn't figure it out. After all, she knew nothing about business, so she simply opened the door and went to the living room.
The sky has darkened.
Ye Lai was taking a nap on the balcony, while Song Wenman and Ye Li were busy in the kitchen with A Fang, preparing the family's dinner.
Song Wenman came out with a plate of snacks. When he saw Xue Xi, he handed the plate over: "Xixi, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"
Xue Xi nodded and ate a piece.
After she took a piece, Song Wenman walked up to Ye Lai with the snack and handed him the jujube cake in his hand: "Old man, have a piece!"
Ye Lai looked over in confusion and shook his head: "Don't eat it!"
He tilted his head again and looked outside.
Song Wenman sighed and walked back with the plate.
Seeing Xue Xi still standing there, he babbled to her: "Don't think he doesn't eat now, but he used to beg me to make jujube cake for him every day!"
The two simply sat down. It was rare that Xue Xi had time. Song Wenman was also full of hope for the future. She smiled and said: "When I first got together with your grandpa, he was a poor boy. He came from a grassroots background."
, and later engaged in scientific research, but did not make much money. However, our family was scholarly, and we did not dislike him. Your grandfather was very good at this at that time. Every time he stayed up late doing research and was too hungry to eat, he asked me to give him
He makes jujube cakes and eats them."
She put the plate down, looked at the jujube cake inside, and said, "He once told me that he would eat the jujube cake I made for the rest of his life, but now he's tired of it, alas!"
Without Xue Xi speaking, Song Wenman added: "But I don't blame him. He is sick. I originally thought that I might live with him as a crazy person for the rest of my life, but now, I just hope that
When Tian woke up, he said next to him, Wenman, make me jujube cakes to eat. If I don’t eat your jujube cakes, I can’t figure out how to proceed with this project!”
As he spoke, Song Wenman's eyes turned red.
There were tears rolling down.
They promised to live together till old age, but when they reached middle age, her husband suddenly got Alzheimer's disease, had mental problems, and no longer recognized her.
Although Ye Lai has been by her side all these years, this is only physical companionship, and the spiritual companionship has long since disappeared.
Ye Li also walked out of the kitchen. Seeing this situation, she hurriedly handed over the paper: "Mom, I'm fine now. Dad's illness has been cured. In three months, he will be able to recognize us!"
Song Wenman nodded: "Yes, fortunately, new drugs have been developed, otherwise I may never have the chance to hear your father call me Wenman in this life."
She stood up with a smile and sighed: "Our family is at least much happier than others. Have you seen that movie some time ago?"
Ye Li asked: "What?"
Song Wenman spoke: "There is a movie. I forgot the name, but when I am in a bad mood, I will think of that movie. There is a mentally ill child. His mother passed away and his father is old.
He was also diagnosed with cancer. The child was in his twenties, but his IQ was only two years old and he was mentally retarded. The father scolded him cruelly and found him a job accompanying dolphins at the aquarium so that he could
Take care of yourself after you leave."
"I, sometimes when I feel like I can't hold on, when I think of this movie, I feel that life has not reached such a difficult step. You see, if I am no longer here one day, your father and you will take care of her, and you will still take care of her.
You Xixi will take care of him, right?"
Ye Li nodded: "Yes, okay, Mom, don't talk about such sad topics. It's time for Xue Sheng to get off work, let's prepare for dinner!"
"well."
The two of them walked towards the restaurant, and when Xue Xi was about to follow them, she found that the door was open a crack, and through the crack, she saw Xue Sheng standing outside.
Their eyes met, Xue Sheng opened the door, walked in, and gave Xue Xi a wry smile.
-
After eating, Xue Xi went back to her room to read, but she couldn't read today's book. After a while, she stood up, opened the door, and was about to go to the living room to pour water when she suddenly heard something coming from the study.
sound.
When she walked over, she found that the door was not closed properly. Through the open gap, Xue Xi clearly heard the words of the two people inside.
Xue Sheng spoke: "At the beginning, I knew that investing so much money in the research and development of this drug was actually very rare, but I just wanted to do something for you."
Ye Li nodded: "I know."
Xue Sheng spoke: "When I started working in a pharmaceutical factory, in addition to curing my father's disease, I also wanted to make a lot of money. After all, who doesn't want to make money? But today I saw that short video, alas, I also deliberately
I went to their house to take a look. They are a normal family, but they have been burdened by this child for so many years. They were not rich to begin with, and now they cannot afford to treat their illnesses. The sky-high medical expenses are unimaginable. After I went there,
I gave them three bottles of medicine. The family knelt down and thanked me, and said that they were not targeting our company by posting the video, but they just posted it because they felt bored."
Ye Li sighed: "You did the right thing. Although three bottles of medicine are worth millions, it may save a family, which is good."
Xue Sheng shook his head: "But I can only save one or a few families. Wife, you don't understand."
Xue Sheng rested his head on Ye Li's lap: "I have known that I want to make money since I was a child to make my family live a better life. But when I see them, I feel that I am useless. The medicine to cure the disease is obviously there.
It's here, but they can't afford it... I fought hard not to give up the patent fees, and I also gave up the early investment in research and development expenses, but I still couldn't bring the price down. I really feel that I am useless."
Ye Li said slowly: "Actually, the pharmaceutical industry is about caring for the world, and doctors are benevolent. If you enter this industry, it will definitely be different from other industries. Tell me, what do you want to do? I'll help you! How much does it cost?
I can paint more paintings and hope to save more families."
These words made Xue Sheng smile bitterly, and he said: "No, I am still a businessman in essence, and the root of this matter is that the cost and price are too high, and the raw materials for manufacturing d-acetylneuronic acid are imported from country m.
Yes. I can do charity, but the premise is that my family is wealthy and I cannot do business at a loss. The key to this matter is raw materials. I would like to have a chat with the person in charge of Country M."
Xue Xi, who was standing outside the door, also flashed her eyes a few times.
She returned to her room and was thinking about something when her cell phone rang suddenly. It was an unfamiliar number. She answered it and heard a familiar voice in English from the other side: "Hi, classmate Xue Xi, I'm Thor.
