Chapter 1255: with translation of title

At 1:14 a. m., in the newly built Experiment room of a large tertiary Hospital in Di Du, the lights were blazing.

More than twenty members of the Huaxia Gene Testing Team were all busy, while the command was being held by a team of experts from Europe.

Such a scene had never been seen before; nobody had eaten dinner or midnight snacks, and they were conducting gene testing all night.

If all 2500+ gene fragments were to be fully detected, under normal circumstances it would take 2-4 weeks.

But because of a single remark by Mei Ha'er, they could only buy time with manpower.

At first, they thought that if they could match the first gene fragment, that would be the best.

Unfortunately, this was just a dream. Even after testing over 500 gene fragments, they found no matching fragment.

Everyone hoped that the blood sample they were working on would match some gene fragment. The people present had become numb, and they had prepared themselves to stay awake all night.

If it were not Heart Ion Channel Disease, they would need to perform over 2500 gene tests to rule out possibilities. Just thinking about this workload gives one a headache.

They just treated it as a drill, and the Huaxia Gene Testing Team could only think that way to feel a bit better.

"Mr. James, I do not understand the Doctor's demands at all," a middle-aged person said, yawning.

He was a staff member of a gene testing reagent manufacturer.

Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and finish the task. Moreover, it was already late at night, so complaining was inevitable.

"Doctor Mei Ha'er is simply too willful; it's impossible to finish this work as quickly as he wants."

"Please maintain the most basic respect for Mei Ha'er," James said, holding his coffee cup and drinking cup after cup, driving the workers like the greediest capitalist, unwilling to waste even a second.

"Even if Mei Ha'er's words consist of only a single character, they must be fulfilled perfectly. And you are merely an insignificant employee of Schlumberger." James held his coffee cup, not even deigning to glance at the person beside him, "Your earlier remarks I can pretend not to have heard. But if your company's higher-ups find out, I doubt the consequence will be as simple as you losing your job."

The staff member felt helpless.

"In the relevant production chain, no company will hire you. Not even any multinational large corporation in the entire medical industry will employ you. This is a black mark on your résumé that you can never erase in your lifetime."

What James said was fact, an indisputable fact. Mei Ha'er is an independent director of Schlumberger; although he rarely goes to the company, his will be carried out to the fullest.

"How many test fragments have been done?"

"654." The staff member initially felt a bit disdainful, but upon hearing James's later description, he immediately realized this was a fact and also a threat from James.

All of Mei Ha'er's demands must be completed in the First Time, without any ambiguity. After answering James's question, chaotic footsteps sounded in the hallway.

In the middle of the night, who is this? The staff member stared for a moment, then looked up.

"Dear James, you're still so stern," several people walked in; the leader, who knew James and seemed quite familiar, laughed heartily as he spoke.

The staff member was stunned—it was the Asia regional manager of Schlumberger. How could it be him? Wasn't he said to be in Riben?

"Noir, I'm glad you could fly over." James refused Noir's hug, sat in his seat, holding a hot coffee, and said: "I'm still battling that damned jet lag, and it looks like I'm going to lose."

"Still the same old, how is the Doctor's health?" Noir asked.

"Pretty good."

"Why come to Huaxia for surgery? The medical standard here isn't the highest."

James held his coffee cup, steam rising, his vision somewhat blurred. He carefully looked at Noir, and after a few seconds asked: "You don't know what happened last year, do you?"

"Damn, last year I was still running the market on this side."

"Doctor Mei Ha'er's heart condition is severe; all doctors were helpless, only able to watch him rely on machines to sustain his last vestige of vitality. But this situation persisted until the appearance of this Huaxia doctor, after which it became a thing of the past."

"Huh? My goodness, I can't believe what you're saying is true," Noir said, looking at James in astonishment.

"It was Doctor Zheng who performed the surgery on Mei Ha'er; the surgery was very successful, and afterward Mei Ha'er regained his vitality."

"Doctor Zheng? The Huaxia doctor whom Mei Ha'er nominated for the Nobel Prize?" Noir looked incredulous, "Wasn't it because of the recommendation from the TIPS Surgery?"

"Yes, Doctor Zheng's expertise in Interventional surgery is very high."

"Unimaginable," Noir shrugged. He didn't care who performed the surgery on Mei Ha'er, as long as he didn't leave a bad impression on Mei Ha'er; as for a good impression, he didn't even think about it.

"Why would Mei Ha'er pay attention to himself? You should know that the company chairman needs to make an appointment at least a week in advance to see Mei Ha'er."

"What kind of patient is this this time? Why the rush? Are you waiting for the results to come out before doing the surgery?"

"No, Mr. Noir, the surgery was already completed before the blood sample was even sent here. It is said the surgery was very successful, and Doctor Mei Ha'er wants to confirm the necessity of the surgery."

"Heavens, it's simply unimaginable." Noir made an exaggerated gesture and said: "What on earth was Doctor Mei Ha'er thinking?"

"Doctor agrees with Doctor Zheng's opinion; he merely wants to know whether the relevant gene fragments can be detected." James said.

"If they can't be detected, does that prove the surgery failed?" Noir said.

"No, if they can't be detected, it means this technology is not yet worthy of clinical promotion and will surely have loopholes." James held his coffee cup, slowly sipping, and said: "This is not only for clinical diagnosis, but rather a test of the detection method for Heart Ion Channel Disease."

"Heavens, this is impossible! Over 2500 gene fragments, only partially …"

But his complaint was immediately interrupted by James.

"The truth of the facts, nobody will care. As long as everyone listens to Mei Ha'er's opinion, that's enough. Mei Ha'er believes it is Heart Ion Channel Disease, but the gene testing fails to find the relevant fragments; that proves your work is mistaken, and this technology is still immature."

"……" Noir's sweat instantly poured out.

It sounds unreasonable, but he knows things will definitely develop this way. For now, all he can do is pray, hoping that the gene causing this patient's Heart Ion Channel Disease lies within the known genes.
