Ma Wenmin looked at Li Zheng blankly, until Li Zheng said it again, she came back to her senses, with a complicated look on her face.
"Is it possible?" She was asking Li Zheng, but also herself.
is it possible? What they are missing is not a month or two, but a full two or three years. Although he was reluctant, Ma Wenmin had to admit that Dong Juncheng's academic level was not lower than the two of them, but his thinking was somewhat limited because of his age. As long as someone opened the door for him, he would walk no slower than anyone else.
Li Zheng also had a fever just now, and he felt a little impulsive when he said it.
Now for the Wenfeng couple, the most important thing is to take good care of the disease, nothing is more important than life.
But since the words have been spoken, Li Zheng has no intention of taking them back. He couldn't help but think of Liu Sizhao again, if he really wanted to hold an academic competition, then this guy could make the best of his talents.
"This promise is valid at any time, take good care of Teacher Wen." Li Zheng stood up and patted Ma Wenmin on the shoulder, "Also, if you are interested in joining Qingyuan, I don't mind paying in advance."
On the way from the Wenxuefeng couple's house to Qingyuan, Li Zheng and Zhong Peng were both silent. They are both old people in this circle. It's one thing, seeing it happen in front of you is another.
What's more, the stark contrast between Dong Juncheng's fame and fortune and the current situation of Wenxuefeng is really embarrassing.
A few days later, Ma Wenmin did not move at all. Although Li Zheng felt regretful, he put the matter aside. He is not a fighter to protect justice. If he encounters unfair things, he is willing to lend a helping hand appropriately, but if the parties are not active, he will naturally not push himself out.
However, a few days later, Li Zheng's laboratory welcomed a special guest.
Li Zheng looked at Wen Wenfeng who was brought in by Zheng Lingling, and spilled the reagent in the test tube in surprise.
Literary Peak? He made several gestures to Zheng Lingling, motioning for Zheng Lingling to bring Wenxuefeng to the living room, then turned around and called Ma Wenmin.
"I knew, I knew he would come. Mr. Li Zheng, please don't promise him, I will come right away." Ma Wenmin's voice was full of tears.
Li Zheng nodded in response. He heard the sound of the overturned teacup and the woman's exclamation from the other end of the phone. He couldn't help sighing softly and hung up the phone.
Li Zheng changed the equipment of the laboratory, rinsed his hands carefully, put his hands under the hand dryer to dry, and then walked out of the laboratory.
Wenxuefeng's condition today looks much better than what he saw in his home that day. He was holding a cup of hot tea, and the sun was shining on him through the glass, covering up his withered breath. Showing a few years of quiet feeling to come.
Li Zheng couldn't bear to break this beautiful picture for a while, he stopped in place and did not step forward.
When Wenxuefeng saw him, a smile appeared on his dark yellow face, "Mr. Li Zheng."
Li Zheng nodded and stepped forward quickly. When he sat down on the other side of the sofa, he glanced at the coffee table and saw a document bag on the coffee table. His eyes narrowed slightly. If he remembered correctly, the document bag was It is the emblem of Queen Mary Hospital.
"Mr. Li Zheng, I take the liberty to visit, if I disturb you, I am very sorry." Wen Wenfeng said politely.
Li Zheng shook his head, "Mr. Wen is very polite, it's my honor to have you here."
Wen Wenfeng smiled and didn't answer. He picked up the file bag on the coffee table and opened it.
"The doctors thought that my patient couldn't understand technical terms, but they didn't know that I was a biological student. My liver disease was inherited, and my father and my grandfather did it this way. I chose the direction of genes and cloning at that time. , I just want to help myself make a good liver, but when I really understand it, I realize how difficult it is."
Wen Wenfeng paused and continued:
"I always feel that my life will end before it begins. I am most sorry for Wen Min and my daughter. But even so, I still want to be self-willed, not only to seek justice for myself, but also to seek justice for myself. I took out everything I was still working on and what I still had in my head, people die like a lamp, I can't bear what I have in my head."
Wen Wenfeng kept smiling when he spoke. He took a sip of water and looked at Li Zheng, "Mr. Li Zheng, do you believe that human beings are born with original sin?"
Li Zheng was slightly startled, obviously not keeping up with his jumping thoughts.
"I believe."
"Look at me, and look at the people all over the world who were born with genetic diseases. Our original sin came into this world along with the genetic material. I hope that one day, we biological humans can change this phenomenon, At least in life to achieve equality."
The room was silent, and even Zheng Lingling and Ma Wenmin, who had just stepped in the door, held their breath consciously.
Li Zheng opened his mouth, he felt that at this moment, all words seemed so weak and weak.
Genes and genetic diseases, the Human Genome Project is not for this purpose. Unfortunately, even before Li Zheng's death in his previous life, human beings have successfully drawn a "work frame map" of the human genome. The nucleotide sequence of more than 90% of the 24 human DNA molecules has been drawn, but that's all. It still needs a long way to go from community to individual, from theory to practice, from laboratory to clinic. road.
"Did I say a little too much?" Wen Xuefeng showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"No, you are great." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.
Before his life was about to end, Wenxuefeng was not thinking of trying to save his own life, but chose to take out all the useful knowledge in his head and make another contribution to the progress of human biology. Replaced by himself, can he do it
Li Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, he... didn't know.
"Great? Mr. Li Zheng is joking. I shouldn't have let Wenmin follow me. I know that my family has this kind of genetic disease, but when I fall in love, I always think my luck will not be so bad. I only hope that in the future Don't repeat my tragedy for future children."
"I… get it." Li Zheng said seriously.
Although he knew that no matter how hard Wen Xuefeng worked to complete his project, it would be a drop in the bucket for the big topic of genetic diseases, but the entire discipline of biology was not accumulated bit by bit.
"Mr. Ma's side..." Li Zheng was about to speak when Ma Wenmin and Zheng Lingling came over.
"I'll help you." Ma Wenmin was already in tears, she wiped the snot and tears from her face and walked to Wenxuefeng, "I don't regret it, I never regret it. With you, I am here. The best decision of my life."
Wen Wenfeng's hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
He forced a smile, his voice tried to be calm, but with a vibrato, "Wenmin, don't make me cry."
Zheng Lingling clenched her fists tightly. If it was said that before today, the reason she was in Li Zheng's laboratory was mostly because of her personal adoration, but after today, this little girl has a sense of "biological mission" in her heart. ".
Seeing that Wenxuefeng and his wife were almost calm, Li Zheng stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay, Mr. Wen, go back and have a good rest today. It's time for injections and medicines. Adjust yourself to the best state, We'll start work tomorrow."
The Wenxuefeng couple let out a good-natured laugh.
After Zheng Lingling asked Zhang Yuejun to send the two back, Li Zheng started to call.
"Mother, I'm going to trouble you again this time. Wenxuefeng, the teacher should know. Yes, please take a look at his case. I need 24-hour medical support for him here. No, not in the hospital, I need Stationed in Qingyuan. I remember that private hospitals have this service. Then thank you, Mistress."
"Is Zhang Chao? I'm Li Zheng. Yes, that's Li Zheng. I'll report to Qingyuan tomorrow at nine o'clock, and it's time to go to work. Really... I'm not a liar."
After two phone calls, Li Zheng once again found Liu Sizhao's information.
"A good knife or a bad knife depends on who is holding it." He muttered to himself, and then dialed the number on his resume.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy, like the roar of a car motor.
Yes, he remembered that Liu Sichao liked racing cars when he was young. When someone in later generations analyzed the character of this big man, he believed that his competitive academic style was largely influenced by the sport of racing.
"I'm Li Zheng, the head of Li Zheng's laboratory." Li Zheng had dealt with Liu Sizhao many times in his past life. At that time, Liu Sizhao liked to rely on the old and sell the old, and more than once put the tree of his elders in front of Li Zheng.
In this life... Li Zheng pursed his lips. Although his shell was still a little younger, he was still slightly proud to be Liu Sichao's boss.
"Li Zheng! That little genius who discovered carbapenem antibiotics? What? Do you want to invite me to join Li Zheng's lab?"
When Li Zheng and Liu Sizhao dealt with later generations, Liu Sizhao was almost 70 years old. Although he liked the old and sold the old, he was a calm and steady senior no matter what. Was that what he was like when he was young
Li Zheng's face twitched, no wonder his reputation was so bad when he was young.
"I received your resume, are you interested in joining Li Zheng's lab?"
"Hahaha, children are quite attentive. Okay, I'll take the initiative. Let's talk about it, the treatment is really that good? It's 20% higher than a professor at Hong Kong University?"
"Yes."
Li Zheng didn't understand, how could people be so different from each other? Just now, he was still immersed in Wen Feng's awe-inspiring righteousness, but now Liu Sizhao's two sentences have almost dissipated half of the grief.
"Is it possible to pay wages in advance?"
