Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 336 - 321: People Are the Greatest Asset

PM.

Entrance of Yanjing University.

Zhao Heng just came out of Professor Li Hongwei’s laboratory and was about to head home.

Just as Zhao Heng took out his phone to order a ride home, he suddenly received a call.

Zhao Heng looked at it—it was a call from Wang Yaoqing.

This late at night, what could Wang Yaoqing be calling about?

Zhao Heng wondered, but he answered the call quickly nonetheless.

"Dr. Zhao, do you have some time now? I have something I want to discuss with you."

On the other end, Wang Yaoqing spoke directly.

They had gotten quite familiar during this time, so he spoke more casually than before. After all, they were now partners, you could say they were in the same boat.

"I’m at Yanjing University."

Zhao Heng said.

"Okay, Dr. Zhao, please wait ten minutes. I’ll come and pick you up."

There was a sense of urgency in Wang Yaoqing’s voice from the other end of the line. It seemed there really was something urgent, otherwise, he wouldn’t disturb Zhao Heng so late, knowing how busy Zhao Heng usually was.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng agreed, understanding that if it wasn’t something critical, Wang Yaoqing wouldn’t have called him at this hour.

After hanging up, Zhao Heng fell into thought. He couldn’t figure out what urgent matter Wang Yaoqing had for him. If it was about clinical data, Zhao Heng had just sent a report to Wang Yaoqing’s company’s chief software engineer a few days ago.

Regarding business operations or market expansion, those were Wang Yaoqing’s areas, where Zhao Heng didn’t have much expertise.

Soon, an Audi A8 parked in front of Zhao Heng. After the car stopped, the window quickly rolled down, and Wang Yaoqing stuck his head out and said to Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, let’s talk in the car."

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded and sat in the front passenger seat.

After getting in, Wang Yaoqing didn’t drive off immediately. Instead, he said to Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, you were in the Yanjing University lab, and it’s already so late."

"Yes, recently there’s a patient who needs nano-treatment, so I am working with Professor Li Hongwei in his lab on a project."

Zhao Heng nodded and replied.

"Dr. Zhao, how about we grab some late-night snacks first? I’ve been busy all day and haven’t even had dinner yet."

Wang Yaoqing said.

He indeed had been very busy today, but busy and happy, significantly happier than on most days recently aside from the day he confirmed the partnership with Zhao Heng.

"Sure."

Zhao Heng agreed. After an intense afternoon and evening in the lab, he was quite tired and now feeling a bit hungry.

"Great, then let’s go to the teppanyaki place we often go to. At this time, only the teppanyaki is still open."

Wang Yaoqing suggested.

Inviting Zhao Heng for late-night food meant it had to be somewhere decent; it was a way of showing appreciation. For Zhao Heng, this partner, Wang Yaoqing held him in high regard, especially after today’s events, which made him value Zhao Heng even more.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng, a bit weary, merely nodded. Today, after an entire afternoon and evening, he and Professor Li Hongwei had only preliminarily set the subsequent research process. If not for his prior experience in preparing carbon nanotubes, it would be nearly impossible to develop siRNA micelles within a month.

In terms of preparation methods, siRNA micelles and carbon nanotubes are both nano-materials and can serve as references for each other’s preparation.

Otherwise, developing a brand-new nano-material in a month would be practically a pipe dream or a fantasy.

Because it was night, there were few cars on the road, so after fifteen minutes, they arrived at the teppanyaki place Wang Yaoqing had mentioned. Despite it being 10:30 PM, there were still a lot of people around the restaurant, clearly indicating that North City’s nightlife was quite vibrant.

Finding a private room, Zhao Heng and Wang Yaoqing sat down and ordered some food.

"Mr. Wang, what’s the urgent matter that prompted your late-night call?"

While waiting for the food, Zhao Heng finally asked Wang Yaoqing.

Zhao Heng had never liked discussing matters while driving or riding, whether as the driver or the passenger; in his view, safety came first.

So, he waited until they reached the teppanyaki to start discussing the matter.

Though he didn’t know why Wang Yaoqing called him out so late, Zhao Heng could see from Wang Yaoqing’s barely concealed smile that it must be good news.

"Here’s the thing, Dr. Zhao: this morning, our project received a twenty-million investment. I’ve been busy with this all afternoon."

Wang Yaoqing said delightedly. With the future of the Anesthesia Assistant software, investment wasn’t surprising, but this time the terms were exceptionally favorable. It was the kind of investment startup companies desire most. The only condition was proportional shares and dividends, without any strict requirements, like demanding software ownership or usage rights.

"Twenty million? Which company invested?"

Zhao Heng was taken aback. Twenty million is no small amount. The Anesthesia Assistant, being medical software, though promising and unlikely to lose money, has a limited application range and doesn’t generate quick returns.

This project securing such substantial funding was quite surprising to Zhao Heng.

"It’s Zishan China."

Wang Yaoqing said with great satisfaction. Zishan China is practically the largest venture capital company in the country. For any entrepreneur, securing investment from Zishan China signifies that the project has earned the highest approval from the investment company.
