How much profit does glutathione have? Tang Liu knows it full well.

Although the patent protection period has expired, glutathione still provides enormous profits for Wanuo Pharmaceutical, a giant in the pharmaceutical field.

Otherwise, where would my annual high salary of millions of dollars come from?

Tang Liu knows that there are at least a dozen or so pharmaceutical experts like herself worldwide who are engaged in promotion and work as salespeople.

To slander glutathione for no reason, Doctor Zheng must have been bribed by other pharmaceutical companies.

Besides this, there is no other reason to explain why the newly minted Nobel laureate keeps saying glutathione is bad, even saying the drug label needs to be changed. Changing a drug's label is quite deadly; the more legitimate the pharmaceutical company, the more side effects listed on its drug label.

For an already mature clinical drug, to say change it just change it? This is the purest attack, without any disguise!

While looking for the phone, Tang Liu estimated the time over there.

The time is a bit awkward, but this just happens to show the situation is urgent.

A Nobel laureate questioning a drug with extremely high profit margins in the academic field must be taken seriously!

"Mr. Johnson, sorry to bother you at this time." Tang Liu said in fluent English.

"I am doing outreach work in Di Du when I met this year's Nobel laureate, Doctor Zheng Ren. He seems to have opinions about the glutathione drug, and also says the drug label needs to be changed."

Tang Liu gave a brief report, concealing what she wanted to conceal, highlighting what she wanted to highlight, quite skillfully.

"Yes, it is indeed Doctor Zheng."

"Okay, I think this matter needs to be given high importance. After all… you surely know better, I suspect that a certain European pharmaceutical company has bribed Doctor Zheng."

"Okay, I will send you this matter via email."

Having said that, Tang Liu hung up the phone.

"Teacher Tang, what would you like to eat?" Liu Hui asked softly.

"Is there still braised stew at this hour?" Tang Liu laughed, saying, "When it comes to food, I still like Di Du's braised stew and baked bun."

"Then let's go to Small Intestine Chen's." Liu Hui said, "I didn't expect you still like eating this."

"Back when I attended university in Di Du, I liked everything here; sometimes I even dream about it."

After eating something, it's time to go back to sleep; as for how Wanuo Pharmaceutical will deal with that young doctor, Tang Liu doesn't care.

Let him know the strength of capital; the battle between a Nobel laureate and a well-funded pharmaceutical company has an obvious outcome.

……

……

"Boss, you're too gentle." Su Yun said dissatisfiedly.

"After all, she is a patient, right?" Zheng Ren said, "Just say what needs to be said, and have a clear conscience."

"Tch."

Zhou Litao also doesn't think much of it; similar things happen in the emergency department three or five times a day, and he's long been used to it. Getting angry over such things, he'd probably die of anger before dying from overwork.

"However, this is the second case this year of hypoglycemia caused by a sulfur-containing drug." Zheng Ren said, "I also don't know why the patient would take so many health supplements for no reason."

"Glutathione is indeed good." Su Yun said with a smile, "I heard from a lab junior that he conducted a comparative experiment, and the white mice that took glutathione had their lifespans extended to some extent."

"Uh…" Zhou Litao, hearing Yun Ge'er say that, seemed somewhat moved.

"There is no conclusion yet." Zheng Ren said calmly.

"What do you mean no conclusion yet!" Su Yun said disdainfully, "Now many technical means have been developed; can't you have a bit of pioneering spirit."

Zheng Ren smiled faintly, not preparing to argue with Su Yun. That kind of work is too tiring, especially when encountering a nitpicker.

"Yun Ge'er, Yun Ge'er… Boss Zheng, don't rush off yet." Zhou Litao also obviously interested in this matter.

Humanity's obsession with immortality, with returning to youth, with eternal life surpasses everything.

From ancient times to now, from alchemy to cultivation to the myriad methods and drugs of today, it seems nothing has ever changed.

"Huh?"

"Please explain the glutathione matter to me properly." Zhou Litao said.

"You, as an inpatient chief, still an inpatient chief in the emergency department, why do you keep living so long?" Su Yun stabbed a knife into Zhou Litao's heart, saying, "This is basically not heaven, it's purgatory, right?"

"…" Zhou Litao had no reply.

"That's right, Manager Zhou." Zheng Ren smiled as he walked toward Zhou Litao's duty room, explaining along the way: "There are many topics about eternal youth, and many have already begun to be used haphazardly."

"For example, cross-species symbiosis, blood transfusion, rapamycin, resveratrol, antioxidants, telomerase, stem cells and fasting—you've surely heard of some of these."

Upon arriving at the duty room, Zhou Litao opened the cabinet, took out cigarettes, and distributed a round to Boss Zheng and Yun Ge'er.

"I've heard of antioxidants, stem cells, and fasting." Zhou Litao said, "Resveratrol is the kind from red wine, right? I've also heard of that."

"Um, did I tell you before? Zheng Shaoqiu drinks wine every day. To avoid taking in too much alcohol, he boils the wine, lets most of the alcohol evaporate, then drinks it, just to get resveratrol." Su Yun said, "This process sounds troublesome just hearing it, and without alcohol, life passes like being an inpatient chief."

……

"Manager Zhou, have you watched Xi Gu?" Zheng Ren asked, directly changing the topic, not wanting to always talk about the inpatient chief with Zhou Litao.

"I've watched all the shows before being an inpatient chief."

Zheng Ren didn't expect Zhou Litao to bring it back himself; truly somewhat helpless.

"In Xi Gu there is a plot about blood transfusion, which is this DISS thing. Billionaire Gavin Belson, to maintain his health, raised a young boy, regularly drawing blood from him and transfusing it into himself." Su Yun said.

"Useful? I recall hearing it's still in the research stage." Zhou Litao said.

"Supposedly it's useful." Zheng Ren said, "The famous investor in Xi Gu, author of the bestseller From 0 to 1, and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel regularly does blood transfusions." Zheng Ren said, "As for the proper theoretical basis, let me think."

"No need to think! A brain science expert from Stanford University gave a TED talk, believing that changes in certain factors in the blood are the main cause of aging; in other words, blood transfusion can slow aging." Su Yun said disdainfully, obviously he is more interested in this than his own boss.

"Uh…"

"Well, the related white mouse experiment was published in Nature magazine." Zheng Ren smiled, "I took a glance; it's not yet perfect, some details are worth discussing."
