Chapter 1675: Chapter 1679: Shelter All the Needy in the World, and Let Them All Rejoice! (Fifth Update)
At night, Chen Cang lay in bed, thinking about the day’s events.
How should I proceed?
Should I ask the government for money?
Perhaps go to Director Xiao?
If that doesn’t work, maybe Cao Yu?
But, this isn’t a small amount, just as was said before, the country’s medical funds are limited, and not everything can be given to one person.
Moreover, the National Parkinson’s Diagnosis and Treatment Center has just been established.
The state has already invested a lot of money into this project.
Building a new hospital is no small expense.
The Health Commission’s budget is also limited, otherwise where would all the money come from?
What if... I start researching the theory of Parkinson’s being an autoimmune response and developing new drugs now.
Will Director Xiao cry poor to me?
What to do?
Should I try to find money myself?
Thinking of this, Chen Cang quickly shook his head.
I’m already so poor that I’m rattling, and trying to find money myself, that clearly would be courting death.
At night, after Qin Yue showered and got into bed, Chen Cang stopped thinking about it.
Because Chen Cang’s gaze and attention were drawn to Qin Yue.
While lying in bed, Chen Cang suddenly said, "Honey, I’ve realized... since we moved in together, I’ve gotten dumber!"
Qin Yue curiously pinched Chen Cang’s cheek, "No, I think you’re getting smarter!"
Chen Cang shook his head, "Do you know why Zhuge Liang was so smart?"
Qin Yue: "Well-acquainted with knowledge?"
Chen Cang nodded, "Yes! Do you know why?"
Qin Yue was puzzled, shaking her head, "I don’t know."
Chen Cang laughed and said, "Because every night, when Zhuge Liang went to bed, he saw his ugly wife, and instantly didn’t feel like sleeping, so he got up to read books!"
"See, having an ugly wife has its benefits!"
"As for me, every day I see this beauty of a wife, naturally I’m so happy I forget about everything, and then I get dumber, right?"
Qin Yue couldn’t help but laugh at Chen Cang’s teasing.
The two lay in bed, no longer discussing work, just chatting about family matters, listening to Qin Yue’s endless prattle about life’s trivialities, complaining about that irresponsible doctor...
Life is like this, needing to learn to appreciate each other in the mundane.
Mutual comfort, confiding in each other, this kind of relationship leaves no gaps.
It’s a girl’s nature to like to complain, maybe they’re just looking for someone to talk to.
At such times, even if the men are pretending to listen, they should let her finish.
This way, she will unknowingly realize that you’ve become indispensable.
The next day, Qin Yue prepared a surprising little breakfast, which Chen Cang ate in a hurry before heading to work.
Qin Yue had actually become accustomed to those little contributions in life.
For Chen Cang’s occasional small romantic gestures and compliments, they always made her feel particularly happy and comfortable.
Sometimes, Qin Yue always worried about becoming a burden to Chen Cang, not being worthy of him.
But now, it seemed she was overthinking it.
She just wanted to be a good wife now, and then... a good mother.
...
...
When Chen Cang arrived at the hospital in the morning, he returned to his office, turned on his computer, and looked over the journals he recently subscribed to.
However, just as he was about to turn off the computer, he saw a job listing.
Curious, Chen Cang opened it and discovered.
It was none other than a job listing from Tethys Lab.
They were recruiting neuropharmacology pathology researchers worldwide, with a starting annual salary of 100,000 US Dollars, preferring those with achievements.
Looking at these generous benefits, Chen Cang admitted, anyone would be tempted!
Honestly, seeing this made Chen Cang feel restless.
These are the backbone of our country.
If they really leave, it would be a loss.
Thinking of this, Chen Cang was extremely anxious.
It’s not okay, how to solve this problem!?
Chen Cang felt like an ant on a hot pan, unable to calm down.
These foreigners really have money!
How can I find a larger place now?
Moreover, these experts all have families, it would be best to solve their housing issues too?
The more Chen Cang thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed.
It won’t do!
Chen Cang gritted his teeth.
He decided to call Xiao Runfang himself to inquire about this issue.
Xiao Runfang also sighed, "The funds for this year are already very limited, and there are many problems that are hard to solve, such a large research institution can’t be built just like that."
"The original base was also allocated to the major cardiovascular new drug creation project."
...
After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang gritted his teeth again and dialed Cao Yu’s number.
Then it was the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qi Lianshan’s number...
...
...
After making a series of calls, Chen Cang couldn’t help but lean back in his chair.
With a somewhat defeated sigh!
Why is it so hard?
A phrase suddenly appeared in his mind!
"How can I have a mansion with countless rooms, to shelter all the world’s poor scholars and make them smile!"
This sentence is so vividly appropriate.
Who can give me...
Just as Chen Cang finished saying this, the phone rang.
"Xiao Chen, it’s Kong Xiangmin."
The deep voice of Kong Xiangmin resounded from the phone.
"Encountered difficulties?"
Kong Xiangmin couldn’t help but smile and ask.
Hearing Kong Xiangmin’s words, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned.
"Uncle Kong, I... how did you know?"
Kong Xiangmin chuckled, "Director Xiao just talked to me about it."
"About this matter, don’t blame Director Xiao and them."
"After all, there are too many projects to oversee, and funds are limited."
Chen Cang nodded, "Mm, it’s okay, Uncle Kong."
Just as Chen Cang was about to be content with the consolation from Kong Xiangmin, his next words left Chen Cang stunned!
"Xiao Chen, you can set up the Parkinson’s research center in Anyang!"
"I’ll provide you with two buildings for an experimental park!"
"Also, for those talents, once you bring them back, I’ll solve their family employment issues and children’s schooling problems!"
"As long as they are talented, I’ll provide allocated low-rent housing in the high-tech zone!"
"For the children’s schooling, we can specially build elementary and middle schools!"
Hearing Kong Xiangmin’s words, Chen Cang was directly dumbfounded.
"Uncle Kong... is this... is this true?"
Kong Xiangmin chuckled, "Would I deceive you?"
It’s not a bad thing!
But, good things aren’t easy to do either.
The high-tech area provides two buildings, and it still needs to solve the housing issues for hundreds of people!
Indeed, it brings top talents to Anyang.
In the long run, this is absolutely a good thing.
However!
To get such a project approved, even Kong Xiangmin would have to bear a great deal of pressure.
"Thank you! Thank you, Uncle Kong!"
Kong Xiangmin smiled, "Good luck, I’ve done all I can, the rest is up to you!"
Chen Cang nodded excitedly.
The most difficult step has been solved.
Even if I have to sell everything, I must make it happen!
"Alright!"
But, what should I do next?
At this point, Chen Cang saw Roche’s sponsorship and investment on the Tethys recruitment announcement.
Suddenly he had a bright idea!
Right!
I can seek investment too!
Isn’t it just making a PPT?
I’ll give you a paper!
...
ps: Going to sleep first, everyone should rest early too.
