Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 468 Favoritism and Humanity's Deepest Threat
The name Wang Mengde.

In China, while it's not fair to say that everyone knows him, at least hundreds of millions of people are familiar with him.

Regardless of how many times they intervened, they resolved infectious diseases and many terminal illnesses, leaving a lasting impression on the patients and their families.

I learned about it through the country's call to learn from him.

Anyone who has heard his name will remember him vividly.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yali was one of them.

"Dr. Wang Mengde is actually your own brother?"

She looked surprised and said in disbelief:
"My hometown is in Shandong Province. Two years ago, the prevention and treatment of filariasis was done with a special drug developed by Dr. Wang Mengde and some other experts."

My family member contracted filariasis, but fortunately, the medication was given in time, otherwise there would have been no problems.

Zhao Yali never expected that the handsome young man in front of her, who was her colleague, was not yet in a romantic relationship with her.

Their family background is incredibly impressive.

This is Wang Mengde's younger brother.

Whether during her school years or after she started working, she participated in activities to learn about the spirit of Wang Mengde.

Let's find out just how amazing this top traditional Chinese medicine doctor in China really is.

Beside her, Feng Panpan also stared wide-eyed, momentarily at a loss for words.

Even though she's usually quite lively, she was still shocked.

After the three of them separated.

After Wang Yuanchao rode away on his bicycle, the two girls slowly walked towards their homes.

On the road.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yali suddenly spoke:
"Panpan, what should I do?"
Should we continue?

The information she received today left her momentarily at a loss.

I had no choice but to seek help from my close friends.

"Of course we should continue. Why do you say that?"

Feng Panpan asked curiously.

Wang Yuanchao comes from a good family and is also very good-looking; he is one of the best in his workplace.

In addition, he was a former soldier, making them a rare and excellent match.

Even though she was Zhao Yali's good friend, she felt that her friend was incredibly lucky to have fallen for such an outstanding boy.

It's incredibly enviable.

"With their family being so well-off, wouldn't they look down on me? Wang Yuanchao's parents and brother might hope he finds someone better."

Zhao Yali said with extreme insecurity.

Ever since she learned that Wang Yuanchao was Wang Mengde's younger brother, she had been feeling anxious and uneasy.

I constantly think that the other person's family might be a huge obstacle.

"Hey, I thought you were worried about something. As for your family's financial situation, I think you don't need to worry about it."

"Someone as capable and dedicated as Dr. Wang Mengde wouldn't care about this, Yali, just relax."

Feng Panpan quickly comforted her.

He had met both Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo and felt that both of them had very good family upbringing.

There shouldn't be any snobbishness involved.

Seeing that her best friend's expression was still somewhat unpleasant, she thought for a moment and then continued:

"Okay, I'll inquire about it privately tomorrow, and I promise you'll be at ease."

"Okay, Panpan, thank you."

Zhao Yali composed herself, then took her best friend's hand and said gratefully.

If it weren't for the other person's comfort, she felt she would be extremely conflicted and worried right now.

"There's no need for such formalities between us. You can thank me properly when you've achieved your goal."

Feng Panpan said jokingly.

Actually, she still had some expectations in her heart.

As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on. As soon as Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo arrived at their unit, they were able to have so many leaders come over to check on them from time to time.

Isn't it all because of Wang Mengde's influence?

If her good friend were to become a daughter-in-law of the Wang family, she could also rise in status and "borrow power from the tiger".

Nanluoguxiang.

Wang Yuanchao returned to the courtyard house with a beaming smile.

Even though he was covered in sweat, a genuine smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

After spending so many days together, he has now grown fond of Zhao Yali, a girl who is both somewhat naive and a bit stubborn.

Arrived at the middle school.

At this time, every household is preparing dinner.

So many neighbors gathered around the pool.

Sha Zhu was also among a few aunties and grandmas, spitting as he boasted.

He often helped cook for outsiders, many of whom were not ordinary people. In addition, he cooked for a private kitchen in the steel rolling mill, so many leaders were willing to let him sit down and have a drink.

Over time, he learned quite a bit.

and so.

Although many people dislike his foul mouth, they still listen carefully to his ramblings.

at this time.

Hearing the sound of a bicycle, Sha Zhu looked up and saw Wang Yuanchao. He then laughed and said loudly:
"Yuanchao, you're back from dating? Didn't you invite your girlfriend to dinner tonight?"

His shout caused Wang Yuanchao's expression to change drastically.

The aunties and older women nearby also had gossipy expressions on their faces.

That's incredible.

Old Wang's second son has actually started dating.

Oh dear, I wonder if their three sons have found girlfriends yet.

If they all have partners, then the girls in their family and friends won't have a chance.

In fact, many neighbors in this courtyard were secretly eyeing the brothers Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo.

They would occasionally invite eligible girls from their relatives' families to come over to the yard, hoping for a chance encounter and to see if they could hit it off.

Unexpectedly, such a big piece of news has now been revealed.

Wang Yuanchao quietly started dating someone.

"Yuanchao, where is your boyfriend from? What does he do for a living? How old is he?"

Wang Ersao couldn't hold back any longer and asked first.

She has a niece who is exactly eighteen years old this year and is quite good-looking.

I've always wanted to bring them together, but despite visiting their hospital several times and meeting the two guys quite a few times, it's all just a one-sided effort.

The others nearby also stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.

"Hey, Second Sister-in-law, and Silly Brother Zhu, I'm not dating anyone. I went to see my colleagues today."

Wang Yuanchao quickly clarified.

He and Zhao Yali haven't officially started dating yet, so they're not really in a relationship.

Before anyone else could speak, Sha Zhu became displeased and loudly retorted:
“Yuanchao, you still want to lie to me? This morning before you left, you went to my house to ask Mengde for money. He even gave you a lot of food coupons and meat coupons. If you weren’t with your girlfriend, who would believe that?”

Several aunties and older women nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

That's right, why would someone bring a hostage when they go to see a colleague? They must be looking for a girlfriend to be with a hostage.

The two young people must have gone out to eat at a restaurant for lunch. Wang Yuanchao looked helplessly at Sha Zhu, who kept talking nonstop.

He shook his head, stopped arguing, and went straight home.

At this moment, Ran Xiaomei had already prepared the meal.

Aside from one meat dish, the rest of the dishes on the table consisted of smashed cucumber, tomato with brown sugar, cold wild vegetable salad, and so on.

It's too hot, and neither the adults nor the children in the family really like to eat the other dishes.

Only these appetizing vegetables and wild greens are everyone's favorite.

I saw that Wang Yuanchao had returned.

Ran Xiaomei put the apron down, then asked with a beaming smile:

"Yuanchao, what's your boyfriend's name? Where does he work? How old is he? How many people are in his family? When are you going to bring him home so Mom can meet him?"

The five deadly questions sent chills down Wang Yuanchao's spine.

He knew that this must have been told to his mother by Sha Zhu, as his brother would not usually leak secrets.

At the same time, I understand that if I don't confess today, I'll definitely be in trouble.

So, I briefly explained the situation:
"Mom, we're not dating yet. I'll let you know as soon as we do, and then I'll let you meet the girl."

"Okay, but don't keep Mom waiting too long."

Ran Xiaomei said happily, then she turned around and went out to the side room, and quickly returned:
"Here's fifty dollars, plus industrial coupons, meat coupons, and grain coupons.

Our family doesn't need it. When you go out with that girl in the future, don't be stingy with money.

When you run out of money and tickets, come back to me and say, "I'll get you more; we still have quite a bit saved up."

Because of the eldest son, the family's usual rations of grain and meat coupons were simply not being used.

As for industrial coupons, they were so plentiful they were practically moldy. They couldn't possibly spend them all, and they weren't willing to resell them for a pittance.

Now that my second son has started dating, it's a good opportunity to spend some of the money so it doesn't sit at home taking up space.

Wang Weiguo became envious when he saw the large amount of money and banknotes in his brother's hand.

"Mom, I want one too."

"you?"

Ran Xiaomei glanced at him sideways and said in an annoyed tone:

"Come ask me for it when you find someone, otherwise I won't give you a single penny."

After hearing his mother's words, Wang Weiguo dared not argue anymore and could only sit down at the table and start eating.

Occasionally, she would mutter under her breath, "That's too biased."

Genome Project Institute.

Despite the sweltering heat, Wang Mengde arrived here from Guang'anmen Hospital at midday.

"Director Wang, we have lived up to your expectations. Our team members worked tirelessly day and night, and finally yesterday, we isolated the virus from the bodies of these African patients."

Meanwhile, our examination and research revealed that the patient's immune system was severely damaged due to the presence of this virus.

Preliminary conclusions suggest that the patients' conditions are strongly linked to deficiencies in their immune systems.

"Rayze said excitedly."

He called Wang Mengde in the morning after confirming the research results.

“Very good. You were able to isolate the virus in just a few months and discover that the disease is closely related to immune system deficiencies.”

To be honest, I really didn't expect things to progress so quickly.

Wang Mengde gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised him.

The virus that Lei Ze, Liu Shuwei, and others researched is the AIDS virus.

In the original history, this virus would not have been identified until the 1980s, but now it has been identified more than a decade earlier.

Moreover, China's research facilities and conditions are far inferior to those abroad.

Despite his guidance, the fact that the two teams were able to complete the task in less than four months demonstrates their tireless dedication and hard work.

Thinking of this, he continued:

"To recognize everyone's hard work, I've decided to give each person ten catties of wheat flour, two catties of pork belly, and two catties of mutton."

"And four more cans of food, sixteen feet of cloth, and a pound of sesame oil."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Ze and Liu Shuwei were so excited they almost jumped up.

These things would be completely insignificant in later generations.

But in this era, it was a scarce commodity that money couldn't buy.

Most families are completely powerless against these things.

It's not anyone else, it's just Lei Ze and Liu Shuwei, both of whom have decent jobs, but their families, adults and children, still lack nutrition.

With these good things, this month will be much easier.

What's even more remarkable is that there were still sixteen feet of cloth left, enough to make a complete set of clothes for an adult, with a little left over.

It should be noted that the annual quota for cloth per person was only a few feet.

Many families' annual quota may not even equal the amount of this reward.

So it's no wonder they were excited.

These two are considered lucky. When the rest of the team hears this good news, they'll probably jump up in surprise, or even shout.

"Alright, you can continue now. What other research findings are there?"

After the two of them calmed down, Wang Mengde asked again.

"Director Wang, we have discovered that this virus is highly contagious, especially through sexual activity, blood products, and sharing needles, where there is a very high probability of infection."

Liu Shuwei said with a serious expression.

They never expected that the virus in these patients from Africa was so potent that it could severely damage their immune systems.

It is not only highly destructive, but also highly contagious.

Fortunately, it does not spread through air or water; otherwise, it would be impossible to prevent.

It's important to know that the human immune system is extremely important.

Once damaged, without its own resistance, it's basically useless.

"Yes, these results are very important, and I will report them to my superiors."

Wang Mengde nodded, indicating his approval of their work, and then he began to assign tasks:
"Next, I hope you can continue your efforts and develop antibody testing technology."

Furthermore, it's time to initiate projects for effective treatments for this virus.

I have a feeling that this virus will become a major threat to humanity in the future, so let's prepare in advance and make some research findings.

This will not only protect the Chinese people from the virus, but also help people in other countries and, incidentally, earn some foreign exchange.

Although it was more than a decade earlier, China had already isolated and traced the origin of the virus.

Once the paper is published, it may draw the attention of major medical institutions around the world to this disease.

Perhaps many countries will have started HIV prevention and control much earlier.

However, based on Wang Mengde's understanding of Western and African countries, this disease is fundamentally unpreventable.

After all, people in those countries are too open-minded.

If even one person gets sick, the disease could potentially spread indefinitely.

Moreover, there is also an incubation period,

By the time they realized it, it was too late.

It may have already spread to countless people.

Therefore, the outbreak may be late, but an outbreak and a pandemic are inevitable.

China is now beginning to research antibody testing technology for this virus, as well as some treatments, and will definitely earn a lot of foreign exchange in the future.
