Chapter 1794: He

Shi Misi was indeed feeling terrible.

Wei Liang's subtle humiliation just now had trampled his self-esteem into worthlessness.

Yet even so, he still hadn't managed to get more Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pills.

Face didn't matter; his son's life was the most important thing.

Thus, Shi Misi made a decision on the spot: he would immediately prepare to head to China, and even if he had to kowtow before Wei Liang, he would get the medicine back.

Immediately after, he got up and left the hotel, while simultaneously calling his wife. He opened with, "Jenny, Wei Liang already returned to China last night. Take good care of Jimmy; I'm going home now to get my passport and then I'm going to China to see him!"

Jenny hurriedly said, "Don't be in such a rush. The reason he went back last night must be because he wanted to avoid you. If you show up at his door so early, he won't see you."

"Then what should I do..." Shi Misi said with immense self-reproach, "If I don't go and beg him, it will be even more impossible for Jimmy to get the follow-up medicine..."

Jenny blurted out, "Why are you so stupid... Think carefully, why did he travel thousands of miles to the United States to find you?"

Shi Misi hurriedly said, "He wanted me to help him speed up the time for the drug to be listed in the United States..."

Jenny immediately said, "Then you should finish the task for him first, and then go see him. That way, it counts as having some sincerity. Otherwise, if I were him, having been angered by your arrogant attitude earlier, I would never see you again!"

Shi Misi finally came to his senses, slapped his forehead, and blurted out, "I understand what you mean. I'm going to the FDA right now to give special approval to that Jiu Xuan Stomach Powder they had earlier!"

Jenny finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Misi asked her, "How is Jimmy doing?"

Jenny said, "His condition is stable, but it hasn't improved further. The doctor said that if there is no miracle drug to continue working, the tumor might very well make a comeback."

Shi Misi knew very well that treating cancer is not like building a skyscraper; even if work stops halfway, progress will only stagnate, not regress.

On the contrary, treating cancer is like storing water in a pool that is constantly leaking.

Only if the rate of water inflow is greater than the rate of leakage can one ensure that the person stays alive.

If the water inflow suddenly stops, the water in the pool will definitely become less and less.

Thus, Shi Misi said anxiously, "I'm going to the FDA right now to get the real business done, and then I'll book the earliest flight to China!"

"Good!" Jenny urged, "Honey, for Jimmy's sake, you must try every possible way to make that Mr. Wei agree and give you some more medicine!"

"I know..." Shi Misi replied, "Don't worry, I will do my best to strive for it."

After hanging up, Shi Misi immediately drove toward the FDA headquarters where he worked.

Giving the green light to Jiu Xuan Stomach Powder was not a difficult task for him.

Because although the FDA claims to be a very neutral and fair scientific research institution, in reality, they also have many shady gray-market transactions.

Over the years, the FDA has selectively turned a blind eye to many drugs and medical devices. The targets of this leniency are either pharmaceutical companies controlled by large conglomerates or related companies that have intricate ties with the FDA.

With Shi Misi's status, he could easily turn a blind eye to sensitive prescription drugs, let alone Jiu Xuan Stomach Powder, which is an over-the-counter drug so common it can be sold in any pharmacy.

The reason he had been suppressing it and not approving it was simply because he had a bias against traditional Eastern medicine, always feeling that those Eastern things were dross.

But now, he couldn't care about that anymore.

Regardless of whether Jiu Xuan Stomach Powder was good or not, he had to immediately pass the approval process for it to show goodwill to Wei Liang.

Only in this way would he have a chance to reconnect with Wei Liang.

At this critical juncture, the Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill was of immense significance to him.

On a small scale, it could save his son's life;

On a large scale, it could make him a hero of the American medical system.

After all, whoever introduced this miraculous drug to the United States would become the object of the public's gratitude.

Therefore, he was determined to get the Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill.

And just as he was driving to the FDA, the entire video recording of Jimmy taking the Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill last night, along with the relevant Pet-CT data, had all been submitted by the Mayo Clinic to the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In the United States, the FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, is a relatively independent agency authorized directly by the U. S. Congress and is the highest law enforcement agency in the field of food and drugs.

However, American hospitals are not under the control of the FDA; all hospitals, whether public or private, belong to the U. S. Department of Health.

Everything that happened last night was, after all, an unprecedented miracle in the field of cancer treatment, and the Mayo Clinic naturally had to report this matter to their superior department in a timely manner.

The person in charge of managing the hospital system at the Department of Health, after reading all the materials submitted by the Mayo Clinic, was so startled that he spilled coffee all over his keyboard without even realizing it.

He ran into the Secretary's office in a panic and blurted out, "Mr. Secretary, the Mayo Clinic has sent news that a pharmaceutical company in China has discovered a miracle drug that effectively treats cancer! This drug, according to their monitoring, has effects that exceed all currently known cancer treatment methods!"

"What?" Secretary of Health and Human Services Roderick asked in surprise, "There's such a thing?!"

"It's absolutely true!" the person in charge hurriedly said, "I've already read the materials. If you just look at the results, it would even make people think that Jesus has manifested!"

The Secretary immediately said, "Bring your computer over and report to me in detail! Also, I want to see all the relevant materials!"

One hour later.

The Secretary of Health called Shi Misi's mobile phone directly.

Just half an hour ago, Shi Misi had just finished processing the approval documents for Jiu Xuan Stomach Powder, stamping 'Approved' on all relevant files.

Having settled all this, he immediately asked his secretary to book a flight to China for him.

The nearest flight would take off in two and a half hours, so Shi Misi immediately went home to get his passport, not even having time to go to the hospital to see his son, and hurriedly headed to the airport.

Just as he had sat down on the plane, he suddenly received a call from the Secretary of Health.

Looking at the caller ID, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Although he and the Department of Health were both medical-related departments, they only had a partial overlap, so they didn't interact much on a daily basis.

With the Secretary of Health calling at this time, he immediately realized that it must be related to the Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill.

Thus, he hurriedly answered the phone and asked, "Mr. Rogers, are you looking for me?"

The other party asked excitedly and urgently, "Shi Misi, I heard that you were the one who got that Jiu Xuan Zai Zao Pill?"

Shi Misi wasn't surprised at all and replied directly, "That's right, it was a sample given to me by a Chinese pharmaceutical company. Did the people at the Mayo Clinic report the situation to you?"

The Secretary of Health said hurriedly, "The situation has already reached the White House! The White House staff has instructed that no matter what, this drug must be introduced to the American market, and the sooner the better! Do you have a rough timeline?"

Shi Misi was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Mr. Rogers, I'm not surprised that the news reached you, but how did it reach the White House so quickly?"

The Secretary of Health said, "The White House set up a dedicated line for us three years ago. Once there is any breakthrough in the most deadly major diseases, they require us to report to the White House immediately."

Having said this, he hurriedly asked, "Shi Misi, I have already organized experts to look at the Mayo Clinic's records. That drug is indeed too miraculous. If it is introduced to the United States, it will be of great significance to us. Do you have a plan in mind for when it can come in and how it will be priced?"

Shi Misi said awkwardly, "These issues aren't up to me; they are up to Jiu Xuan Pharmaceutical. I'm on the plane right now, preparing to go to China to have a good talk with them."

The Secretary of Health hurriedly said, "Then find a way to meet with the top person in charge of Jiu Xuan Pharmaceutical and ask him how much money it would take to transfer the technical patent for this drug! As long as he is willing to transfer it, let him name any price!"

Shi Misi said in surprise, "If this drug can really be mass-produced, its market prospects would probably be at least 100 billion U. S. dollars in sales per year. Whoever holds this patent would probably not be willing to transfer it..."

The Secretary of Health said seriously, "Let him name any price. The White House isn't afraid of his asking price; they are only afraid that he won't sell!" ===== CHAPTER 1795 =====
