Chapter 254 Jealousy and Recruiting Apprentices

After the patient passed away accompanied by his family.

The clinic fell into silence.

after awhile.

Sun Xiaoru couldn't help but break the silence and asked carefully, "Brother, is there no hope for that patient just now?"

Since she started studying with her senior brother, she clearly remembered that there were only a few patients who were "declared" hopeless by her senior brother.

The last time this happened was maybe a few months ago, maybe more than a year ago.

Moreover, even if there is no hope of cure, the senior brother will provide some solutions that can reduce the patient's pain or prolong his life.

Unexpectedly, this time, the senior brother just shook his head and didn't even prescribe any medicine.

“There’s no hope.

After being bitten by a dog, he immediately got a rabies vaccine, but still got rabies.

Once symptoms of this disease appear, there is currently no means to treat it. The mortality rate is close to 100%, and the rest depends on his luck. "

Wang Mengde came back to his senses and said helplessly.

Not to mention now, even in the future, we are powerless against diseases like rabies, and prevention mainly relies on vaccines.

In later generations, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people die and millions of people become disabled every year due to this disease.

He is not a god, and some diseases are indeed beyond his ability.

“Why do I still have symptoms after getting vaccinated?”

After hearing what her senior brother said, Sun Xiaoru muttered to herself in a daze.

This patient can be said to be the first one who walked out of her clinic without being cured since she started practicing independently.

Seeing her like this, Wang Mengde did not try to comfort her. Several years ago, he had also experienced this kind of powerlessness and could only rely on himself to get out of it.

However, he explained:
"Because the current rabies vaccine is not very effective, there is still a one in a thousand mortality rate after injection.

Moreover, after vaccination, there are significant side effects, with strong reactions throughout the body or in parts of the body.”

Early rabies vaccines were nerve tissue vaccines. They were effective, but their production was low, they were expensive, and they had serious side effects, making them difficult to promote.

Vaccinations are only available in big cities like Beijing. If you are in small towns or rural areas and are bitten by cats, dogs and other animals, you can only leave it to fate.

A few years ago, it even became popular in China.

"Brother, can we let Brother Huang study the new rabies vaccine at the Beijing Gene Research Institute?"

Sun Xiaoru asked expectantly.

Although Huang Sizhong stayed to work at the Beijing Genetic Research Institute, the relationship between them was still very good.

Whenever we have time, we will get together and chat about each other's recent situation.

"Well, I'll be free in a few days, so I'll go over there and tell them. I also have some ideas. A new rabies vaccine should be developed soon."

Wang Mengde said.

He had just obtained a lot of knowledge about rabies vaccine development from his previous life through space.

As long as we talk to Liu Shuwei and others about it in a few days, given their current familiarity with gene editing, it won’t take long to produce it.

Moreover, the new vaccine will have the advantages of high titer, large production, low price and high safety.

It not only improves the prevention capabilities, but will also be beneficial for domestic promotion and application.

evening.

After returning home, Wang Mengde put down his bicycle and the things in his hands, and came to his wife's side impatiently and began to ask about her well-being:
"Shengnan, how do you feel today? Are you tired? Do you have morning sickness?"

"Meng De, I've only been pregnant for over a month, and it's not my first time, so it's nothing."

Seeing that her man cared about her, He Shengnan felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and she whispered.

She had just returned home from get off work.

"Well, that's good. By the way, why don't you stop riding your bike? I'll pick you up at Deshengmen after get off work every day, and you can take the bus the rest of the way."

Wang Mengde saw the sweat on her face and suggested again.

It is already the beginning of June and the weather is starting to get hot. After riding my bike back, my body and face are covered in sweat.

“It’s okay. Yu Shui, I and other colleagues nearby will ride together. There are three or four of us. We will ride slowly. We won’t get tired. We’ll do it after my belly gets bigger.

Besides, Yuhe will be back from maternity leave in a dozen days, and she will ride with us, so don’t worry.”

He Shengnan shook her head and said.

There are several people working in the Qinghe Woolen Factory nearby, and they all know Wang Mengde's power.

So, on weekdays, I am quite close to He Shengnan.

While the two were chatting, there was a sudden cry from the side:
"Wow, wow, daddy doesn't like me anymore, wow."

Hearing this voice, Wang Mengde quickly turned around, then quickly squatted down, hugged his daughter, and whispered in a distressed voice:
"Hey, Yaya, what's wrong?
Daddy likes you, who told you that Daddy doesn't like you anymore?"

He wondered if one of Wang Yuandi's brothers had said something in front of his daughter.

Thinking of this, he glared at his two sons who were playing not far away.

"Yes, both daddy and mommy like Yaya."

He Shengnan also came over, squatted down carefully, wiped her tears and comforted her softly.

"Wow, wow, daddy is back... but he didn't... kiss me.

When I have younger brothers and sisters, I won’t like Yaya anymore.”

Yaya sobbed and spoke intermittently.

So that’s it.

Wang Mengde felt a little guilty after hearing what his daughter said.

In the past two days, since learning that his wife was pregnant again, the whole family, including him, has focused their attention on He Shengnan and the unborn child.

Ignoring my daughter's feelings, no wonder she is jealous.

Thinking of this, he said softly: "Yaya, Daddy will not dislike you. Even if a brother or sister is born, Daddy will still love you the most."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and stuck out his little finger.

"Daddy will make a pinky promise with you, okay?"

"Really?"

Staring with big eyes still stained with tears, Yaya also stretched out her hand, and then said in surprise: "Then we will make a pinky promise and never change it for a hundred years."

Only when both parties hooked each other's fingers did a smile appear on her face.

I saw my sister hiding in her father's arms, looking so happy.

Wang Yuandi and Wang Yuanxun looked at each other, then walked over and said in unison:

"Dad, I want to make a pinky promise too. You must love me like you do now in the future."

"Get out!!!"

If his daughter hadn't been hugging his neck, Wang Mengde would have kicked each of the two brothers.

No eyesight at all!
a few days later.

Beijing Gene Research Institute.

Liu Shuwei said with surprise: "Director Wang, we can select a few people to study rabies vaccines."

Just now, Wang Mengde mentioned that he had some ideas and asked if his institute had the spare capacity to conduct new research. Hearing this, he was very excited.

I quickly agreed.

Since the successful development of the hepatitis B vaccine, the research team was upgraded to a research institute, and they have gradually produced some results.

However, these achievements are all small-scale. They may have filled the gap domestically, but they are still lagging behind internationally.

Now Director Wang is actually willing to guide them in their research. Even if there is no one, a few people will be temporarily transferred out.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Half a day flew by.

After coming out of the conference room, Wang Mengde, accompanied by Liu Shuwei, prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Behind them, five or six people walked towards the laboratory with excitement on their faces, each holding a thick notebook in their hands.

Just now, Wang Mengde told them all his experience and knowledge in developing rabies vaccines in his previous life.

As long as we spend more time on experimental research, a new vaccine will be developed soon.

Therefore, they decided to strike while the iron was hot and go to the laboratory now. As for the issue of eating, when they were hungry, they could just ask someone to go to the cafeteria to buy two steamed buns to fill their stomachs.

In the cafeteria.

The two people sat opposite each other, eating and chatting.

"Old Liu, our research institute still doesn't have enough manpower."

Wang Mengde took a bite of the steamed bun made from two kinds of flour and said.

“Director Wang, last year our superiors only upgraded the vaccine research team to a genetic research institute, but did not provide many staff.

At present, several stalls have been set up in the institute, occupying some manpower.

The rest of the staff are also busy with their own tasks, so they are unable to conduct new research now.”

Liu Shuwei said helplessly.

As a newly established research institute, they are all eager to produce more results.

However, there are limited talents in this field in China, and some other research institutes are also eyeing talents.

When there are too many people and too little talent, the superiors also need to strike a balance and will not send all the talents to the Beijing Gene Research Institute.

In addition, the talent training cycle in this area is too long, so many projects have been shelved.

"This is indeed a problem.

There is no other way. The domestic foundation is too weak and the start is too late. We can only wait a few more years until the young people in the research institute are trained. Then we can ease the pressure.”

Wang Mengde could do nothing about it.

The cultivation of talents requires a period of time and cannot be achieved in one go.

"Well, that's the only way." Liu Shuwei nodded and said:
"Fortunately, there are many young people in the institute, all of whom are good seedlings. After ten or eight years of training, they can become the backbone of the institute.

Comrade Huang Sizhong is particularly strong in learning and hardworking. He is now in charge of a small project on his own.”

"That's good, if we don't have talent, we can train it ourselves.

You may not see anything now, but you will see the results after ten years.

By the way, graduation season is coming soon. Do you have any plans for the institute, or are you waiting for the unified assignment from your superiors?"

Wang Mengde asked curiously.

In more than half a month, it will be graduation season. At the Chinese Medical Research Institute, under the leadership of President Lu, they have already developed a detailed plan for recruiting apprentices.

He also wanted to know whether the Genetic Research Institute had similar plans.

"We don't have a plan yet. We are just waiting for the unified allocation from our superiors. However, the director applied to his superiors a few days ago when he went to a meeting to give more positions to the Gene Research Institute for this year's graduates."

Liu Shuwei gave a brief introduction.

Today's university graduates are basically assigned to various units by the state.

Of course, if students have a strong desire, the state will also consider it as appropriate.

The weather is getting hotter day by day.

That afternoon, at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Mengde was called into the office by President Lu.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, this is the herbal tea that the secretary prepared in advance. Drink some to cool down first."

Dean Lu pointed to the enamel pot and kettle on the table and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Dean. I'm thirsty."

Wang Mengde was not polite either. He first added some for President Lu, and then poured most of the enamel jar for himself.

After taking a few sips of tea, Dean Lu got to the point: "Comrade Wang Mengde, I called you here today because I want to tell you something.

These days, the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is conducting final exams, and after the exams, the students will go home quickly.

So, I thought, while there is still time, you should go to the school and talk to a few students with excellent academic performance to see if there are any promising talents among them and take them as your apprentice.

I don't ask much of you, except that you must accept at least five disciples."

After the last chat between the two people, dozens of famous Chinese medicine masters and experts in the institute have successively accepted some apprentices.

Only Wang Mengde didn't move, so he urged him to move.

Students graduating this year have no chance as the state has already assigned them units in advance.

But students who are scheduled to graduate next year can still try for it.

They have been studying for five years and in their last year, being able to intern with a great teacher is what they have always dreamed of.

Moreover, as long as you are accepted as an apprentice in advance, the country will definitely take this issue into consideration when you graduate and are assigned a job.

"Yes, Dean, I will go to the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine tomorrow."

Wang Mengde agreed readily.

Recently, in addition to supporting several of his fellow junior brothers and sisters, his wife was also pregnant, which took up a lot of his energy.

"Okay, I've already contacted Principal Wang in advance, you can just go over there, he will take care of the rest."

Dean Lu said happily.

Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

After finishing an exam, Wei Ming and several classmates went to the dormitory.

On the way, one of the students said mysteriously: "Do you know that Doctor Wang Mengde came back to our college today and is said to be accepting a few apprentices.

Anyone who becomes his apprentice can directly study with him after passing the exam."

"Really? Where did you get the news?"

Another classmate asked with some disbelief.

Such explosive news, why hasn't any news been released?

“Of course it’s true, I just heard it by accident.

Doctor Wang Mengde is in the principal's office right now. It is said that only a few students with better grades will meet him."

The classmate said with confidence.

After hearing this, Wei Ming's heart moved. He quickly found an excuse, separated from a few classmates, and walked directly towards the principal's office.

He secretly decided that he must seize this opportunity firmly.
