Chapter 791: Dr. F.S Can Help You

Then, Qin Hongzhi explained his condition to Luo Xiuen and Cheng Yi.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi smiled warmly before he habitually pushed up his glasses: “Mr. Qin, the news that you heard is not reliable. The medicine is still in its development and early experimental stages. Therefore, there’s still a long way to go before it can be bought off the market. If Mr. Qin wants to be our first human experimenter, we would not mind either.”
Cheng Yi’s words made Qin Hongzhi’s mood sink again.
“No human experiments have been conducted yet?” Qin Hongzhi did not dare to be the first person to be experimented on. He would be bearing too much risk.
Cheng Yi gave a clear response: “As of now, we’ve only done experiments on animals. It will take a good while before human experiments begin.”
It appeared as though Qin Hongzhi was happy for no reason.
“Then if I may ask, do you guys know of any other research institutions that are currently making progress on researching leukemia?”
“I’m not too sure,” Cheng Yi replied. “As of now, I haven’t heard of any.”
There were several other research institutions similar to Huiling Medical Research Institution.
However, none of them made their research results public yet.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongzhi’s mood hit rock bottom.
Then, Qin Hongzhi quietly asked: “Then, when does human experimental begin?”
Cheng Yi: “Mr. Qin, we’re unable to give you a definite answer to this question.”
Qin Hongzhi: “Then is there any way to speed up the progress?”
Cheng Yi: “Well, there is a way.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongzhi hurriedly asked: “What’s the way?”
Cheng Yi: “If Dr. F.S is available to help with the research.”
Qin Hongzhi: “Dr. F.S? Jian Yiling? Isn’t she just a surgeon?”
Qin Hongzhi froze for a moment when he heard Jian Yiling’s name.
After all, he met Jian Yiling last night. Last night, he also rudely asked her to leave his house.
Cheng Yi: “Mr. Qin, it seems as though you don’t really know what Dr. F.S does. Everyone in our industry knows that Dr. F.S. is a surgeon as a side occupation. She focuses on making and researching medicine.”
There were many academic journals that talked about Dr. F.S’s pharmacology research. Jian Yiling’s academic papers and theses could be read off these academic journals.
However, people that were not part of the industry did not know about this. Instead, they merely knew that she performed surgery incredibly well.
Qin Hongzhi: “What? Is that true?”
Qin Hongzhi’s face was filled with surprise.
It seemed as though Jian Yiling was much more talented than he had initially expected.
He did not expect Jian Yiling to dapple in the pharmaceutical industry.
Cheng Yi: “It seems as though you don’t really have a good relationship with your wife.”
Cheng Yi said this with a smile on his face.
Qin Hongzhi: “Dr. Cheng, what do you mean by that?”
Cheng Yi: “Your wife was treated by Dr. F.S and I.”
Qin Hongzhi: “Such a thing happened?”
Then, Qin Hongzhi fell deep into thought.
Cheng Yi: “Mr. Qin, that’s all we have to say. If there’s nothing else, we will be heading back to our institution. A lot of research still has to be done.”
Once Cheng Yi said this, Qin Hongzhi decided not to hold them back any further. He hurriedly asked someone to send them back to Huiling Medical Research Institution.
On the way back, Luo Xiuen asked Cheng Yi: “Why did you tell him so much about Yiling?”
Cheng Yi smiled before he replied: “I was just telling the truth.”
Luo Xiuen: “Aren’t you worried that he’ll go and harass Yiling?”
Cheng Yi: “Well, he’s begging for help right now. Therefore, he would not dare to harass Yiling. Furthermore, in the past, Yiling paid a lot of attention to the Qin family matters. Maybe she will find this opportunity helpful.”

Luo Xiuen: “And what if Yiling isn’t interested in this opportunity?”
Cheng Yi: “Well, he can’t really do anything to Yiling. Not to mention that he hasn’t found anyone else other than us two yet.”
Luo Xiuen thought about it for a moment. Then she said: “Hmm, that’s fair. But you better let Yiling know in advance! Furthermore, if you cause Yiling any trouble, I will skin you!”
Cheng Yi: “Understood! Understood!”
He did not dare to disobey Sister En.
###
“Father, you’re looking for me?” Qin Yufan said to Qin Hongzhi. She attempted to be as kind as possible.
“Mhmm. What happened yesterday was my fault. I want to apologize to your friend.”
“You mean Yiling?” Qin Yufan asked as she looked at her father suspiciously.
Her father was not someone who’d easily apologize to someone.
He had always been very self-centered. If he decided that something was right, no amount of words from others would change his opinion.
“Mhmm, please invite her to come over. I want to personally apologize to her,” Qin Hongzhi said.
“Father, what exactly do you want?” Qin Yufan asked. She did not believe that her father really wanted to apologize to Jian Yiling.
“Didn’t I already say what I wanted? I just want to apologize to your friend.”
“But that’s clearly not what you said yesterday,” Qin Yufan replied. She was not stupid therefore, she would not be fooled that easily.
Seeing that he was unable to hide his intentions, Qin Hongzhi told his daughter the truth.
Upon hearing Qin Hongzhi’s words, Qin Yufan smiled bitterly: “Ahh, you changed your attitude after you realized that she was useful to you. Father, you really do let me down often.”
Qin Hongzhi sighed lamentably: “Well, you can think what you want to think. Just tell me whether or not you’re willing to help me. I have no other choice.”
“I will help you,” Qin Yufan replied.
Although she disapproved of his intentions, he was still her father.
And thus, Qin Yufan called and asked Jian Yiling to come to the Qin Residence.
Because it was Qin Yufan’s request, Jian Yiling did not say no.
Qin Yufan waited for Jian Yiling at the door. As soon as she saw Jian Yiling, Qin Yufan apologized: “I’m sorry.”
Jian Yiling looked at Qin Yufan with a puzzled expression on her face: “Why are you sorry?”
Qin Yufan: “Because this might be a waste of your time.”
Then, Qin Yufan took Jian Yiling into the living room of the Qin Residence.
Qin Hongzhi was waiting in the living room for Jian Yiling.
This time around, Qin Hongzhi treated Jian Yiling in a much kinder and friendlier manner.
“Miss Yiling, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday. I was just in a bad mood after I learned that I had leukemia. I’m sorry for losing my temper at you. I hope you’ll forgive my rudeness.”
Qin Hongzhi’s apology was incredibly sudden.
However, Jian Yiling did not reply. Instead, she looked at him with calm eyes.
Then, Qin Hongzhi said: “Actually, I met Dr. Cheng and Dr. Luo from Huiling Medical Research Institution yesterday. After hearing them talk about you, I realized that you’re not only a well-known surgeon, but you’re also very accomplished in pharmaceutical research.”
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling roughly understood Qin Hongzhi’s intentions.
As of now, Qin Hongzhi had not found a suitable bone marrow that could match his. As a result, the only way to control his condition was through medicine. Therefore, he turned to Huiling Medical Research Institution for help.
Then, he found out from Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen that she could help him.
“Mhmm.”
Jian Yiling indifferently and coldly replied to Qin Hongzhi.
However, Qin Hongzhi continued to speak in a friendly manner: “I wonder what it would take for Miss Yiling to be willing to help me with this favor? If Miss Yiling can cure my condition, I will definitely prepare a huge reward.”
“The Qin Group. Equity,” Jian Yiling replied.
“What did you say?!” Qin Hongzhi replied. The expression on his face suddenly changed.

“I can help you. However, the reward has to be the equity from the Qin Group.”
“You’re being delusional!”
“I already stated the reward that I wanted. Whether or not you’re willing to agree is your business.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongzhi’s chest began to rise up and down violently.
After a long time, he calmed down a bit. Then, he said to Jian Yiling: “Miss Yiling, I know it’s hard to impress you with ordinary money, however, the Qin Group’s equity must not be handed over to outsiders. Please think of another reward that interests you. If you can think of anything else, I will promise to give it to you. Everything else can be used as an exchange condition.”
“I’m only interested in the equity of the Qin Group,” Jian Yiling replied. Her answer did not change.
Qin Hongzhi gritted his teeth as he asked: “Do you really have to be this stubborn?”
“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied.
“Okay, okay,” Qin Hongzhi huffed angrily. Then, he said in exasperation, “Then I guess I just went to all this trouble for nothing. Please send Miss Yiling back home.”
As soon as she heard that, Jian Yiling got up and left.
After Jian Yiling left, Qin Hongzhi was furious: “This is outrageous! I don’t even know whether she can really help or not! However, she already dares to ask for so much! It’s not like she’s my only option or something!”
There were many other places he could turn to.
Many other doctors and specialists existed.
Furthermore, there were other medical research institutions as well.
Not to mention, Lahaisen Hospital was a possibility as well.
Finally, there was still a chance that he could find a bone marrow that matched his. If he managed to do so, he could get a bone marrow transplant.
Jian Yiling was shameless!
After Jina Yiling left, Qin Hongzhi called Qin Yufan over.
“Look at you! Look at your friend! Did you hear what she wants from me? She wants equity from the Qin Group! Look at how much ambition she has!”
“Father, she has the right to ask for that. After all, in order for a collaboration to happen, both sides have to be willing.”
Qin Hongzhi: “Would a normal person ask for equity right off the bat?”
Qin Yufan retorted: “Well, Yiling doesn’t have a shortage of money. She’s the fiancee of Zhai Yunsheng. Isn’t it normal that normal things can’t move her?”
Qin Hongzhi: “Well, I think that she wants to help the Zhai family eat away at our power.”
Qin Yufan felt helpless as she said: “Father, you’re sick right now. Please take care of your health before you care about money. Even if you give out some equity, what effect can that have on us?”
“The Qin family’s hundred-year foundation must not go to ruin in my hands. Even if I die, I will not hand over the Qin family’s equity.”
Then, Qin Hongzhi added: “Yufan, I’m very disappointed in you. How can I place the future of the Qin family in your hands when you’re so softhearted? My dissatisfaction with you is not only because you’re a girl, but rather because you’re too emotional when it comes to dealing with things. I guess, in the end, you women are just too emotional.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yufan smiled bitterly: “Well, just put it in Qin Chuan’s hands then.”
As of now, Qin Yufan felt that it was better for Qin Chuan to handle the Qin family.
After all, Qin Chuan was more humane than her father.
Qin Yufan’s indifferent attitude made Qin Hongzhi inexplicably angry: “Oh, so you can talk like that now? Is it because you’ve grown up? Or is it because you’re holding your uncle’s shares.”
Qin Yufan’s eyes were filled with tears as she said: “You’re sick. I just want you to get better. I don’t want to argue with you.”
When Qin Hongzhi looked at Qin Yufan’s teary eyes, his heart softened and his face eased up.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken my anger out on you,” Qin Hongzhi apologized to Qin Yufan. “However, there’s no negotiation in this matter. I will find another way to cure my condition.”

Chapter 794: The Only Way

Qin Hongzhi assumed that he could find another way.
However, his search for the next few days was fruitless.
Furthermore, a doctor told him that his condition would get worse and worse.
There would be all kinds of symptoms that appeared.
And thus, Qin Hongzhi began to panic.
At this moment, Qin Hongzhi thought about Li Zhuojia.
He sent his men and subordinates to look for Li Zhuojia.
Qin Hongzhi was prepared to wait for days, however, to his surprise, Li Zhuojia visited him on the first day.
This made Qin Hongzhi overjoyed.
When Li Zhuojia arrived at the Qin Residence, Qin Hongzhi greeted him with great joy.
“Mr. Li, I…”
Just as Qin Hongzhi was about to speak, he was interrupted by Li Zhuojia.
“I already know the purpose of your search for me. And thus, I will be straightforward and say that the rules of Lahaisen Hospital will not be broken. Therefore, as usual, sixty percent of your assets will be charged as medical expenses.”
“Is there no negotiation at all? I can give you guys 500 million dollars. It’s definitely more than one hundred percent of someone else’s assets.”
Li Zhuojia smiled as he replied politely: “I’m sorry. We’ve already discussed this before Mr. Qin Hongrui’s operation.”
“So no negotiation at all?”
“Nope,” Li Zhuojia replied.
The joy that had just surfaced on Qin Hongzhi’s face faded away.
It was replaced by anger and disappointment.
Li Zhuojia continued to speak: “That’s all I have to say. Mr. Qin, please take a good think about it. Feel free to contact me later. I will take my leave now.”
Li Zhuojia was not sensitive to Qin Hongzhi’s feelings.
After saying what he had to say, Li Zhuojia got up and left.
He didn’t even listen to Qin Hongzhi when he shouted at him.
Previously, Qin Hongzhi was happy that Li Zhuojia was visiting him. However, his hopes were completely dashed after this visit.
After searching for a bit more, Qin Hongzhi’s attention fell back onto Huiling Medical Research Institution.
Qin Hongzhi attempted to contact the director of the medical research institution. However, he discovered that the identity of the director was rather mysterious. Even his men were unable to find out the details of the other party.
Furthermore, the institution’s attitude was very clear: They would respect the wishes of their researchers. This meant that they would not force their researchers to take on any additional tasks.
During this period of time, Qin Hongzhi also approached Qin Chuan’s mother. He wanted to ask her about the treatment she received at the Institution. After talking to Qin Chuan’s mother, he determined that Jian Yiling and the Huiling Medical Research Institution could handle such a task.
And thus, Qin Hongzhi attempted to find a way to negotiate with Jian Yiling again.
To his dismay, he did not even manage to get to meet Jian Yiling.
Qin Hongzhi was annoyed and helpless. He was the Head of the Qin family! However, he had to ask a little girl to help him! To make matters worse, he was currently being given the cold shoulder. And yet, he couldn’t even complain about it!
He had tens of billions of dollars of assets under his name. However, it was likely that he was unable to live the remainder of his life.
Furthermore, his own children and his first lover spoke to him coldly. All of them disapproved of his ways.
Qin Hongzhi thought about this sadly.
All of a sudden, he felt like he aged more than ten years overnight.
However, he still did not want to negotiate using the equity of the Qin Group.
###
It was Jian Yuncheng’s birthday again.
Wen Ruo attentively prepared a gift for Jian Yuncheng.
She spent a few days drawing up an ink painting. It was a painting of mountains.
On the day before his birthday, the painting was framed and sent to Jian Yuncheng’s office.
When he saw the painting, Jian Yuncheng’s gaze fell on it for a long time.
When Huo Yu walked into the office, he laughed at Jian Yuncheng: “Your cousin is really good at painting. This painting is quite amazing. If you like the painting, you should hang it on the wall directly opposite your desk. Then, you’ll be able to see it when you look up.”

Jian Yuncheng coldly glared at Huo Yu before he said: “Go and hang it up in your office.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yu was quite confused: “Why would I hang it in my office? This is your birthday gift from your cousin. It’s not for me.”
“Birthday,” Jian Yuncheng repeated.
“Oh my. Are you asking me for a birthday present?” Huo Yu teased.
However, there was no hint of amusement on Jian Yuncheng’s face.
When he realized that Jian Yuncheng’s expression was not right, Huo Yu hurriedly said: “Ahh, what do you want from me? We’ve been friends for so many years. I can get you anything that you want.”
“Three years ago, my sister gifted me a sweater and a scarf.”
“Oh, is it the black sweater that you always wear in winter? And the scarf that you treasure so much that you’re reluctant to wear?”
“Mhmm.”
“Then what did Yiling give you on your birthday last year and the year before?”
“She didn’t give me anything.”
In the past, Jian Yiling would give Jian Yuncheng’s birthday presents yearly. This started when she was very young.
Sometimes, she made small clay figures and other times it was an artwork that she herself had created. In fact, there was an occasion when she had given him candy that she saved up.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yu was rather surprised: “Oh? She didn’t give you anything?”
Jian Yuncheng repeated: “Yeah, she didn’t.”
“Ahh, then she’s probably not going to give you anything this year either,” Huo Yu comforted Jian Yuncheng. “She’s growing up. Soon, she will only care for her boyfriend. Therefore, it’s normal for her to forget her brother’s birthday.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yu realized that Jian Yuncheng’s eyes appeared terrifyingly cold.
“Cough, cough, cough,” Huo Yu started again. He hurriedly said something else: “But I mean, Yiling’s quite different from everyone else. Maybe she’s just too busy with her studies.”
Then, Jian Yuncheng asked Huo Yu: “Then will she give me a gift this year?”
Huo Yu: “Er… About this…”
This question stumped Huo Yu. After all, how would he know whether Jian Yiling would prepare a gift for her brother?
He wasn’t part of the Jian family! He didn’t even manage to get Yiling to call him ‘Brother Yu’ yet!
“Then… Why don’t you… Why don’t you ask Yiling?” Huo Yu suggested cautiously.
If he said that Yiling was going to give him a gift and she didn’t end up giving one to Jian Yuncheng, where would he magic up a gift?
Jian Yuncheng coldly glanced at Huo Yu.
If he could ask her, why would he be here telling him about this?
“Then, then… Should I ask her?” Huo Yu asked tentatively.
“Okay.”
“Huh? Really?” Huo Yu blurted out.
“But don’t mention that I wanted to ask about it,” Jian Yuncheng added.
Huo Yu: “Ahh… I guess it’s okay… I will head over to her university later on then.”
Jian Yuncheng: “Remember to go to Lao Street to buy her the popular cake on the Internet.”
Huo Yu: “Lao Street? But that’s the complete opposite way! It will take me an hour to drive there!”
Jian Yuncheng: “You can have the afternoon off.”
Huo Yu was incredibly energized when he heard this: “Okay, okay! I will go there right away!”
Huo Yu was incredibly happy as soon as he heard that he did not have to work this afternoon. He turned around and went downstairs to pick up his car. Then, he drove towards Lao Street to buy the popular cake for Jian Yiling.
###
Jian Yiling saw Huo Yu as she was packing her things to leave university.
“Hey hey, sister Yiling~,” Huo Yu said as he had a cheeky smile on his face.
Jian Yiling looked at him suspiciously. It was as though she was asking him why he was here.
“Yiling~ This is a popular cake from Lao Street! Apparently, it’s very delicious. I drove an hour to pick it up for you! You should give it a try!”
Jian Yiling took a look at the cake box that Huo Yu was carrying in his hands. However, she was still confused.
