If they announced that they were going to develop a medicine for the disease, they might end up wasting a lot of money if they could not develop it. If word got out, it would be a slap to their faces. Hence, they gave up without trying.

Anyway, this had been a medical problem for a hundred years. It would continue to be a medical hurdle…

However, they did not expect that such a prosperous and complicated matter would be resolved by this big shot, Teng Hua.

Li Mingde looked incredulous. “Has his medicine been experimented on?”

“That’s right.” The assistant was very happy with Teng Hua’s act of benefiting all of humanity, because he was Teng Hua’s fanboy to begin with. “I think he was already developing medicine for this before the Star incident happened. He’s really thoughtful.”

Li Mingde snorted. “Why don’t I believe that?”

At this moment, the other elders’ attitudes changed.

“Mingde, this is a good thing regardless.”

Li Mingde put on a fake smile. “Teng Hua is too young. It’s said that he’s not even 25 years old. He was even more famous than Ming Qi back then. Haven’t you heard? It’s not a good thing for young people to be too outstanding. It’s like running a marathon. We have to be patient and steady in our steps. As for him, he’s a sprinter. If he rushes forward like this, he might not be able to walk far.”

The assistant was not happy to hear this. After all, Teng Hua was his idol. “Dean Li, you can’t say that. You often tell us not to be arbitrary. Why is it that when it comes to you, you don’t take your own words seriously?”

Li Mingde said angrily, “Nonsense. You’re siding with an outsider.”

Then, he whispered, “Teng Hua is used to winning over people’s hearts. Little Zhang would never have talked to me like this. I didn’t expect that today…”

The old doctors quickly advised, “Brother Mingde, calm down. It’s not good to be angry.”

As there were people who tried to persuade him, Li Mingde took the easy way out. “No, I’m not going to argue with a junior.”

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the assistant resigned. Li Mingde was furious. “Young people are indeed too young. They really can’t endure anything. Unlike us back then, we could only endure the scoldings from the higher-ups!”

His words were unanimously agreed by a few seniors. Back then, they were indeed very hardworking as medical assistants. When the higher-ups told them to go east, they would never go west. They were very obedient and worked overtime unconditionally.

“Jin Lu,” said Li Mingde suddenly.

Jin Lu was sorting out the information. When he heard Li Mingde’s words, he looked up. His eyes were no longer as gentle as usual.

Li Mingde said reluctantly, “There’s a vacancy for an assistant in our association. Call Sheng Yang over. After tomorrow, you won’t have this chance.”

Jin Lu’s lips twitched. “I’ll speak up on behalf of her. She won’t take up the post.”

“What do you mean you’re deciding for her? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She can learn a lot by coming here. After missing this opportunity, there won’t be anything else like it.” An old doctor beside Li Mingde also helped to persuade him. They were all people who did things according to Li Mingde’s mood. Of course, they also thought so in their hearts.

Sheng Yang was still a student. No matter how strong her theoretical knowledge was, she didn’t have much practical knowledge.

Unlike other disciplines, medicine was both theoretical and practical.

Jin Lu did not say anything and left with a cold expression. This was definitely the first time this happened in the medical association.

“Look, look…” Li Mingchen’s face turned red with anger.

“Elder Li, don’t be anxious. I’ll contact Sheng Yang. How can Jin Lu make the decision for her? I guarantee that she’ll be happy to hear it. How great is this honor for a university student? Our previous assistant was a graduate student at Stanford and interned in one of the top hospitals in the world for two years. Sheng Yang’s much inferior to her.”
