Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Earning a Lifetime’s Money, Unable to Afford a Single Illness

"Pleasure doing business!"

Right up until they left by car, from beginning to end, neither Qin Yuzhu nor Ren Wenbin mentioned discounts again.

In the eyes of Qin Yuzhu and the others, while Candy Technology might make a profit, the absolute profit wouldn’t be too high.

Asking Mo Jingchun for a discount again felt somewhat inappropriate.

It’s true that Candy Technology has made quite a bit of money this past year, but Qin Yuzhu and the others know that Candy Technology has also been spending money like water this year.

In fact, Mo Jingchun has his own considerations.

Although the medicine sold domestically is cheap, there’s still a huge market abroad.

According to the customs of foreigners, a life-saving leukemia drug, even if not over a million per shot, isn’t it reasonable for it to be tens of thousands?

For developed countries, since they have plenty of money, it seems justifiable for it to be a bit more expensive, doesn’t it?

Holding Candy, Mo Jingchun stood at the door watching the car drive away, silently thinking to himself:

"After all, we invested a significant amount in research for the drug, didn’t we?"

"Brother, it’s hot. How much longer are we going to stand here?"

Candy, sipping her milk, tugged at her brother’s sweaty big hand.

Hearing Candy ask the very question everyone might want to ask, Su Wenyan silently gave Candy a thumbs up.

Isn’t that right!

As a company owner standing at the door, how could the employees dare to go inside and enjoy the air conditioning? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Let’s go." Mo Jingchun said, leading Candy away, heading towards the apartment building.

Seeing this, those who returned to the office building finally began to talk freely.

In the apartment dormitory, Mo Jingchun held a towel to help Candy wash her face.

"Candy, you’re a college graduate now, no more crying easily, okay?"

"If you ever wake up and can’t find your brother, you can go play with Uncle or simply ask the sisters at the front desk where I am."

Slurp~

Biting her straw, Candy finished the last sip of her milk and nodded, "Okay, brother."

"Alright then, throw the empty box in the trash can."

Meanwhile, on the highway from Huo County to Luzhou, the minibus drove steadily.

No one spoke inside the vehicle; clearly, everyone was deep in thought.

Suddenly, Ren Wenbin, sitting in the same row, asked Qin Yuzhu:

"Qin, how much do you know about Mo Jingchun?"

Originally gazing at the scenery outside the window, Qin Yuzhu turned back to look at Ren Wenbin, shook her head and said:

"Even though I have been the one building contacts with Mo Jingchun from the beginning."

"But honestly, often I can’t really understand Mo Jingchun."

"Sometimes he feels very familiar, other times he seems like a stranger."

Ren Wenbin stared into Qin Yuzhu’s eyes and said, "Just like this time?"

Qin Yuzhu paused, nodded and replied:

"Exactly! Just like this time."

For a moment, both didn’t know what to say.

When making phone calls, everyone heard that one sentence "a good child."

Just five simple words, yet everyone understood very clearly that these words, spoken by different people, carried entirely different meanings.

Suddenly, Ren Wenbin smiled and said:

"Do you think Candy Technology will make it into the Fortune 500?"

"Wenbin, you already have an answer in your heart, don’t you? Why ask me again?"

"Yes, the answer was there all along, wasn’t it?"

Thinking of how Candy Technology had been crazily recruiting talent these past two months, Ren Wenbin curiously asked, "Qin, is Candy Technology gearing up for something big, researching some amazing thing? They’ve recruited quite a few people in the past two months, right?"

"I don’t know." Qin Yuzhu shook her head.

Qin Yuzhu truly didn’t know what Mo Jingchun and his team were studying. While there had been analyses speculating that they were developing a system, the reality was completely unknown.

There were even analyses suggesting that Mo Jingchun might be researching artificial intelligence.

For now, let’s say Qin Yuzhu doesn’t know; even if she did, she wouldn’t tell others.

In the stairwell of the inpatient department at Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Hospital.

Wang Shan, eating a bun, seemed to have lost all her strength, leaning against the wall, tears streaming down her face, eating a bun that tasted flavorless.

Passersby merely glanced at her, nothing more.

From childhood to adulthood, Wang Shan considered her family fairly well-off. They had a house, and her impression was that her parents basically satisfied whatever she wanted.

Until...

The bad news struck!

While still in high school, her sister who was seven years younger was diagnosed with leukemia.

God! At that time, while working, Wang Shan couldn’t understand why her perfectly fine sister would get such a disease.

I’m not a medicine god, Wang Shan found the movie touching when she watched it before.

But she couldn’t comprehend how expensive medicine truly was.

Now, Wang Shan could truly feel it.

Just like her sister’s targeted gene therapy, it’s thirty thousand per bottle.

A bottle lasts a month.

Since her sister’s leukemia diagnosis, they’ve been seeking medical help elsewhere.

Traveling between cities, more often facing rejection.

Yes, rejection. Even kneeling wouldn’t help.

In just half a year, the family’s savings were exhausted, now relying on selling their house to get by.

But how much longer can that last?

Wang Shan never complained, only felt pain, listening to her sister cry in pain, gently touching her bald head, Wang Shan couldn’t help but cry.

She could only cry in secret, not daring to show it in front of her sister.

After finishing dinner, Wang Shan wiped her tears, adjusted her mood, and returned to the ward.

"Sis, I’m back."

Wang Xueying, lying on the bed, lay on the pillow with a disinfectant smell, looking at the sunset through the window.

Even though the sun was still bright, it couldn’t change the setting sun in the west.

Just like her life, it was already counting down. When that last ray of sunlight disappears, so too will the beat of her heart.

Afraid? Perhaps.

She hadn’t yet experienced an epic romance, hadn’t skipped a class, hadn’t...

So many regrets...

"Sis?"

"Hm? You’re back, sis?"

Wang Shan sat on the edge of the bed, habitually touching her sister’s forehead to check for fever.

Suddenly, Wang Xueying smiled, looking at her sister Wang Shan with hopeful eyes.

"Sis, take me traveling, let me go crazy just once. I don’t want to stay in this hospital filled with sodium hypochlorite smell anymore."

"I don’t want to see Mom and Dad delivering takeout after work every day anymore."

"Sis, help me discharge from the hospital."

"To see the beautiful world one last time."

Wang Shan didn’t know what to say, nor how to persuade her sister.

Especially with that look, Wang Shan didn’t dare to look directly at it.

"Good news! Great news! Huge news!"

"The latest announcement is that Candy Technology Co., Ltd.’s leukemia miracle drug has an 80% cure rate! Expected to be available within a month at the latest."

"It’s a cure! A cure!"

Originally excited patients and their families, when thinking of the high drug costs, felt disheartened again.

"The drug must be expensive."

The voice was very weak, but it immediately quieted everyone.

Yes, the drug must be expensive, especially a new one.

"No, no, no! Candy Technology’s leukemia miracle drug is covered by insurance, and they said the cure cost is just over ten thousand."

"You can check it online if you don’t believe me!"

"It has already reached the trending list on short videos."

With an uneasy heart, Wang Xueying opened a short video app to look...

Laughed... Cried...

It’s true!

"Sis, it’s true!"

Wang Shan hugged her sister’s legs, unable to control herself, crying out loud.

And Wang Xueying, looking at the last disappearing rays of sunlight outside the window, smiled like a carefree child.

The setting sun, will rise again tomorrow from the east.

Won’t it?

In the apartment building, Mo Jingchun was happy too, Mo Jingchun didn’t expect the higher-ups to help Candy Technology with a recruitment ad directly.
