Chapter 2799: Sincerity can move heaven and earth

Facing the invitation of this young man called "Old Hu", Ye Chen readily agreed and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then we won't be polite to you!"

Old Hu smiled, "Hey! You must not be polite. Everyone is a friend from all over the world. Taking care of each other is also the fine tradition of our hikers."

As he spoke, he asked Ye Chen, "Buddy, how should I address you?"

Ye Chen was about to speak, when Lin Wan'er beside him said with a smile, "My boyfriend's surname is Lin, his name is Lin Chen. Everyone can call him A-Chen!"

Ye Chen was stunned. He probably understood Lin Wan'er's idea. After all, they were waiting for Wu Feiyan here. Whether it was the name Ye Chen or the name Lin Wan'er, Wu Feiyan would definitely not be unfamiliar with them, so it was better not to use their real names as much as possible.

However, he didn't expect that Lin Wan'er would give him a fake name "Lin Chen", and even gave him a nickname "A-Chen".

He thought to himself, "A-Chen? This title sounds like a barber."

At this time, Lin Wan'er said to everyone, "My surname is Ye, my name is Ye Xiaowan, everyone can call me Ye Zi."

Everyone nodded one after another. Old Hu smiled and said, "A-Chen, Ye Zi, welcome to join our 'Yunnan Wanderers' family temporarily. We are all hiking in Yunnan. Basically, we didn't know each other before, and we met and walked together during the hiking process."

As he spoke, he introduced himself, "My name is Hu Leqi, meaning 'happy in one's place'. It's just that this name sounds a bit feminine, so friends who know me, I let them call me Old Hu directly."

Then, he gently hugged the girl beside him who had been organizing the bonfire party and introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Shu Lan. She is a top student at Tsinghua University. We met during this hike and then got together."

After Hu Leqi introduced everyone one by one, he volunteered, "A-Chen, I don't think you often go hiking and camping. Why don't I help you set up the tent first!"

Ye Chen thanked him, "Thanks, buddy. I'll do it myself in a while. It should be no problem."

Old Hu said seriously, "If you have anything, just speak up, don't be polite!"

Ye Chen nodded in thanks, and felt a bit ashamed in his heart.

Because only he knew that these people regarded him as a friend he met by chance, but he needed to use them to provide cover for himself and Lin Wan'er, which was a bit unkind.

Young people who are keen on the outdoors are generally very outgoing and open, basically all of them have full social skills, and these young people are very enthusiastic about Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er, so everyone chatted enthusiastically very quickly.

Hu Leqi has strong leadership in this group. It can be seen that everyone is convinced by him. Seeing that he is not very old, Ye Chen asked curiously, "Old Hu, are you a student or are you already working?"

Hu Leqi nodded and said, "I am still a student. I studied in the United States before. I am a Chinese-American. It's summer vacation, so I thought about returning to China for hiking and enjoying the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland."

As he spoke, Hu Leqi added, "We are basically all college students. Sun Jing, Ma Linchao, and I all studied in the United States. Shu Lan and the other three are from Tsinghua. Haipeng and Lijin are from Peking University. There are also some studying in the UK and Canada. What about you two?"

Ye Chen said casually, "We were high school classmates. We only cared about dating in high school and didn't study well. As a result, we didn't get into any university. Later, we went to Yanjing to find a private wild chicken university that didn't need scores and mixed for two years, and didn't graduate before dropping out."

Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen resentfully, protesting indignantly in her heart, "Young Master's words, the dozens or hundreds of degrees I have taken over the years are all in vain..."

In fact, the reason why Ye Chen said this was to create a subjective impression on these people that he and Lin Wan'er were poor students. Otherwise, if everyone really grabbed the topic of university and chatted endlessly, the two would probably be exposed easily. No matter which university they said they graduated from, or which university they were studying at, once these people had an acquaintance at the school they mentioned, it might be impossible to chat.

And when he said he was a dropout from a wild chicken university, it would create a subconsciousness for these people, making them think that he was inferior about school, so they would naturally ask and mention less about university-related topics, thus avoiding the risk of exposure.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chen said that he and Lin Wan'er didn't even finish a wild chicken university, these people sensibly didn't ask another word about the school.

Hu Leqi was also afraid that Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er would be inferior about the school problem, so he smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you go to a good university or even go to university. People, the most important thing is to live happily."

"That's right." Shu Lan, Hu Leqi's girlfriend, echoed, "Studying is actually quite boring. My parents started 'chicken baby' (pushing kids to study) from kindergarten, and kept pushing until I got into Tsinghua, and they still wanted to push me to prepare for graduate school at Harvard. In the first half of the year, I finally got the admission notice from Harvard as I wished, but just after I booked the flight to the United States this month, I was diagnosed with glioblastoma, and it grew on the brainstem, which could not be operated on. I don't know how long I can live. They finally realized that 'chicken baby' is far less important than letting the child be healthy."

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise upon hearing her words, "You have glioblastoma?"

"Yes." Shu Lan nodded, "The incidence is less than one in ten thousand, but I still hit it."

Hu Leqi also smiled and said, "My situation is similar to Shu Lan's. I was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer last year, and it was small cell lung cancer. I have never smoked a cigarette since I was a child, and I haven't even touched the marijuana that is rampant in the United States. As a result, it was late-stage lung cancer. There is no good treatment, so I might as well enjoy life to the fullest."

Lin Wan'er said subconsciously, "Late-stage small cell lung cancer can also be treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, combined with targeted drugs, and can also have relatively good treatment effects. Don't give up on yourself."

Hu Leqi smiled, "I haven't given up on myself. I originally came to China from the United States to participate in the clinical trial of 'Jiuxuan Zaizao Pill' of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical. It is said that this medicine has a very good therapeutic effect on almost any cancer. The doctor also suggested that I try it to see if I can get a spot, but I only found out after I came here that the competition for this spot is too fierce. Not to mention anything else, even James Shi Misi, the former director of the US FDA, couldn't get a spot for his son, let alone ordinary people like me."

Shu Lan beside her said, "That's not the case. The quota allocation of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical is not based on who has money and power, but on who needs treatment more. Those who signed up for clinical trials are all cancer patients without exception, at least 30% of whom were declared by doctors to have less than half a year to live. There are hundreds of patients with late-stage pancreatic cancer alone, and many patients are children. It is almost difficult for people in their twenties like us to get a spot."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Shu Lan, did you also sign up for the clinical trial of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical?"

Shu Lan nodded, "I went, but I wasn't selected. The review mechanism of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical is a bit like comparing misery. First compare who is the sickest, then compare who is the youngest, whose family situation is the most pitiful, who has the most family responsibilities, etc. They have a scoring mechanism. Those who are actually the most miserable have the highest scores. Finally, all the lists are selected from the few hundred or thousand people with the highest scores. It is the same logic as points-based settlement."

Ye Chen was not surprised by this, because this rule was basically based on his guiding principles, and then implemented by Wei Liang.

Jiuxuan Zaizao Pill is essentially a diluted version of the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill. This thing, the whole world can probably only be made by him, and it has to be refined at the cost of spiritual energy. It cannot be mass-produced. It is just a brick he used to knock on the door of the FDA.

And Ye Chen also knew very well in his heart that he was neither God nor the Virgin Mary. There are too many cancer patients in this world, and he simply couldn't save them all by himself, so he could only save a small part within his ability, and it was a very small part.

Since it was to save this small part of people, it was naturally impossible for whoever had money to get the spot, so Ye Chen asked Wei Liang to only save the most miserable small group.

They might have never had good luck in their lives, never encountered any care, but at the critical moment of life and death, Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical could still give them a chance to counterattack.

Therefore, in Ye Chen's view, he was more inclined to let Wei Liang save a late-stage cancer patient who had lived for twenty years and had eaten twenty years of bitterness, rather than save a proud son of heaven who had lived for twenty years in a middle-class family.

Under this tone, Hu Leqi and Shu Lan basically didn't have the qualifications to be selected.

At this time, one of the hikers said indignantly, "I don't know what the boss of this Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical is thinking. Why not prioritize saving talents like you who are useful to society?"

Shu Lan smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "We just read more books, and it's not necessarily true that we are useful to society. Besides, doctors treat diseases and save people, and it is natural to save critically ill patients first. You can't let me jump the queue just because I have a high degree, right?"

Hu Leqi smiled and said, "Hey, I also understand them very well. That James Shi Misi from the FDA is said to have resigned and done charity in Jin Ling for a long time, and basically invested all his family property, and still hasn't given up, and still hasn't exchanged a chance for his son. People from Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical also said that although his son is very sick, there are many more children who are sicker than his son."

Someone in the crowd asked in surprise, "The person in charge of the US FDA resigned and went to Jin Ling to do charity?"

"Yes." Hu Leqi nodded, "I talked to that big brother. He is the one who lost the most. When Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical wanted to enter the US market, they brought Jiuxuan Zaizao Pill to his door, knowing that his son had cancer, and even gave him some medicine for free to try. He always felt that Hanfang medicine was unreliable and had no scientific basis, and he looked down on it. As a result, when he came back to his senses and wanted to find them again, they had already given up on Jiuxuan Zaizao Pill entering the US market..."

Speaking of this, Hu Leqi sighed and said, "That old brother is also helpless. His son can't get better at the Mayo Clinic, so he can only go to Jin Ling to try his luck. I guess it is 'sincerity can move heaven and earth'..." ===== CHAPTER 2800 =====
