Break out of the courtyard

Capital, a certain sea office.

"The geese sent back a message saying that the 16 virology experts sent over have entered the Kowloon Tong Diagnosis and Treatment Center."

"The leader is short of talent. This is his biggest shortcoming at the moment."

"It's a shortcoming now, but it may not be in the future! Once his vocational training academy is up and running, I wonder if he will still accept us sending people there."

"I don't think there's any need to worry about this problem. As long as he wants to expand the company's business, he will be short of people!"

"If only he didn't recruit those foreigners!"

...

Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Tong.

"You won't have any objections to living in the welfare home, right?" Zhang Heping led the way, bringing 16 mainland virology experts, Director Wang and Liu Yuan to the third floor of the welfare home.

"Mr. Zhang, you are joking. The conditions in this welfare home are better than those in the capital's guesthouses. How could we have any objection?" Yin Tao, the leader of the expert group leading the team to Hong Kong, said with a smile: "What's more, this place is close to the laboratory, which makes it convenient for us to come back at night."

Director Wang laughed and said, "If we really stay in a hotel outside, it will be troublesome for so many people to find a way to take a taxi to the hotel after leaving the laboratory at night!"

"There are 3 orphans living on the third floor. At night, doctors, nurses, and security guards on duty live on this floor." Zhang Heping casually introduced: "Go to the cafeteria on the first floor for meals. Don't miss the meal time, otherwise you won't be able to delay the cafeteria staff from going home."

"I would like to emphasize again that you should not bring food into the laboratory to eat in order to avoid two-way contamination."

Zhang Heping was so long-winded because he was worried that these experts with thin cheeks would stay in the laboratory and not leave, because they would not stay here for long.

A middle-aged female nurse heard Zhang Heping's voice and turned around to see Zhang Heping standing at the door and looking into the room.

"Boss, this is the only room left. I'll clean it quickly." The female nurse who was mopping the floor explained hurriedly.

"Thank you for your hard work. You can go to the cafeteria downstairs to eat first, and come back to continue later. There's no need to rush!" Zhang Heping said as he walked into the room and touched the dry white sheets on the four single beds.

The female nurse stood there with a mop in her hand without moving, obviously wanting to finish her work here before going downstairs to eat.

Zhang Heping said something polite and stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he turned around and left the four-person room and went to the other three rooms next door.

"They are all four-person rooms, and each room has an independent bathroom." Zhang Heping checked the bedding in the four rooms and turned on the faucet. "There is a shower head in the bathroom, hot water on the left and cold water on the right."

Zhang Heping said as he stood at the bathroom door, patted the water heater hanging outside, and smiled at the group of experts in the room: "The natural gas for boiling water is transported from China."

Liu Yuan added: "Tap water is also transported from domestic reservoirs!"

"The food, rice, flour, grain and oil in the canteen are all shipped from China, so don't be shy and just treat this place as your home." Zhang Heping said to Team Leader Yin, who was in charge.

"The foreign talents in the lab have only been here for a short time and they don't know how to use many of the equipment. Don't overestimate them!"

Seeing that Team Leader Yin did not respond, Director Wang was worried that they did not understand Zhang Heping's subtext, so he reminded them: "Mr. Zhang's point is that next time you go to the laboratory, don't be afraid of those foreign researchers. You are the experts. Don't let foreigners look down on us!"

Team leader Yin Tao looked at Zhang Heping with a bit of surprise, and found that he was looking out the window, so he turned to Director Wang and said, "It's a little strange at first, we just need to get used to it, and we won't show weakness in front of foreigners."

When Zhang Heping heard this, he turned around and walked into the room and said, "There are four rooms, you can allocate them yourselves. If the laboratory needs anything, just tell Lin Jie, the person in charge of the diagnosis and treatment center."

After saying that, Zhang Heping talked to Director Wang and went back to the treatment center.

He came here this afternoon, and in addition to accompanying these experts, he also brought his father-in-law Tang Ming and brother-in-law Tang Ren.

As soon as Zhang Heping left, the virology experts on Yin Tao's side relaxed.

"Director Wang, what does this Mr. Zhang do for a living? Why does he have so many bodyguards at home?"

"The equipment in that underground laboratory is also available in our institute, but it was only distributed to us in May this year."

"I just saw a Northern Soviet man in the underground laboratory. Mr. Zhang, aren't you afraid that he is a spy?"

"Everyone!" Director Wang waved his hand towards the noisy experts and said seriously, "I know you have a lot of questions, but please remember the confidentiality regulations and foreign affairs regulations. Now, apart from academic research, don't ask or discuss anything else. Let's talk about everything after we return home."

"All of you must follow Director Wang's orders!" Team leader Yin Tao said, "Assign rooms now, and then hurry up to wash up, and then go to the laboratory to check the test results."

...

"Where is Tang Ning?" Tang Ming frowned and glanced at his second son Tang Yi who was squatting on the lawn smoking.

"He didn't buy the plane ticket." 59-year-old Tang Yi replied in a muffled voice.

"Then let him take the boat!" Tang Ming said without question: "He must come here today to apologize to Heping!"

"Second brother!" Tang Ren crossed his arms and frowned, "Brother-in-law gave your kid a chance to make money before. Who can you blame for their failure to develop?"

"Also, if it weren't for Dad's sake this time, do you think your brother-in-law would care about your family?"

Tang Qiang, who was squatting on the side pulling weeds, interrupted and said, "Second uncle, I just asked Dean Lin and other doctors. AIDS is a newly discovered disease. There is no medicine in the world that can cure it. If you think it's embarrassing to apologize, you can just send Tang Lu to another hospital. There is no medicine to cure it anyway."

"Don't say such nonsense!" Tang Lie pushed Tang Qiang and said to Tang Yi, "Uncle, developing new drugs requires a large amount of money and manpower. As you just saw, my uncle invited more than a dozen virology experts from the mainland. For this reason, I think Tang Ning should come here to admit his mistake."

Tang Ming looked at his second son who was still smoking, so he grabbed his walking stick and started to hit him. However, he didn't expect Tang Yi to not dodge and was hit hard.

"Second brother, what do you mean?" Tang Ren supported his angry old father and said to Tang Yi who was still squatting on the lawn, "With us here, are you still afraid that your brother-in-law will beat Tang Ning to death?"

"Tangning is dead!"

Ok?

Tang Ming, Tang Ren, Tang Lie and Tang Qiang were all stunned, and the scene of Zhang Heping chasing Tang Ning to Xindao and killing him flashed through their minds.

It was really because Zhang Heping was too murderous and had left a deep impression on them before.

"How did he die?" Tang Ming asked solemnly.

"Uncle is here!" Tang Lie reminded in a low voice.

Tang Ming glanced at the welfare home, then stepped forward and raised his cane to hit Tang Yi. "Let me ask you, how did Tang Ning die?"

"It's none of my brother-in-law's business!" Tang Yi replied and fell silent again.

Tang Ming, Tang Ren and others were relieved when they heard that Tang Ning's death had nothing to do with Zhang Heping. They were really afraid that Zhang Heping would become ruthless and not recognize any relatives.

When Zhang Heping passed by Tang Ming and his friends, he stopped and said, "Dad, AIDS can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. We need to call A-Lu's wife and children over for examination as soon as possible."

"Okay! Let's do it as soon as possible!" Father-in-law Tang Ming forced a smile.

Zhang Heping glanced at a few people and said, "There's food left for you in the cafeteria. I'm going to the laboratory now."

After Zhang Heping entered the treatment center, Tang Ming looked at Tang Yi squatting on the lawn again and asked, "How did Tang Ning die?"

After waiting for a while, Tang Yi was still smoking, which made Tang Ming so angry that he was about to throw his crutch at him again. Fortunately, Tang Ren grabbed his father's hand in time.

Tang Ren frowned and said, "Second Brother, you just heard it, call A Lu's wife and ask her to bring the child over for a checkup!"

"Dead too!"

...

After Zhang Heping walked into the treatment center, he saw the concubines of Tang Laoer blocking the hall. He frowned and took out a mask and put it on.

"Brother-in-law, is there any result?"

"Brother-in-law, will we be infected?"

"Brother-in-law, you have to help us think of a solution. You must have a solution, right?"

Zhang Heping took two steps back, avoiding the women's pulling, and said impatiently: "Get out of the way!"

Not to mention that Zhang Heping has a slight obsession with cleanliness, just the fact that these people have daily contact with Tang Lu, the AIDS patient, makes Zhang Heping dislike them.

The reason why they were asked to come here for examination was for the safety of their family. They had to find out who was sick or infected in Tang Laoer's family to avoid accidental infection during daily contact.

Zhang Heping had ignored these people in the past few days. His cold tone and the persuasion of the concubines from the eldest Tang family made the concubines from the second Tang family retreat to the side in frustration.

"Boss!" A brown-haired Nordic man ran over with a stack of papers. He glanced at the group of women in the hall, then handed the stack of papers to Zhang Heping and said in Eagle language: "Six people's tests showed infection. Please verify the testing procedures."

Zhang Heping took the stack of test results and quickly looked through the names on it. Unexpectedly, Tang Yi and his three concubines were all on the paper!

The other two are Tang Yi’s youngest son Tang Zuo and Tang Zuo’s daughter-in-law.

The relationship is clear, but the infectious relationship is very complicated. Zhang Heping is too lazy to think about it for fear of polluting his mind.

"Xiao Lin!" Zhang Heping put down the inspection report and shouted to Lin Jie, the person in charge who was waiting in the corridor.

Lin Jie walked over quickly, "Master!"

Zhang Heping handed the stack of medical reports to Lin Jie and said indifferently, "Take precautions, and then ask these six people if they need to be hospitalized."

After saying this, Zhang Heping went to the underground laboratory without any emotion.

Lin Jie told the two doctors to take protective measures and asked them to tell other medical staff.

Then, Lin Jie was holding a stack of papers and asked loudly, "Who is Tang Yi?"

"He's outside!" Tang Lao Er's third concubine responded, and then asked anxiously: "Doctor, are the test results out?"

"Go call Tang Yi, I'll tell you later." Lin Jie replied, then turned to another test result and asked loudly, "Who is Wang Xue?"

The third concubine had just walked to the door of the clinic's hall and was about to call for help, but when she heard the doctor calling her name behind her, her brain immediately froze and her legs and feet felt as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't move.

...

When Wang Sumei and the group of virology experts returned to the diagnosis and treatment center and were about to go to the basement laboratory, they heard crying and cursing deep in the corridor. The faces of the Tang family members in the hall were not looking good.

The test results are out!

Wang Sumei and the others couldn't help but come to this conclusion.

"It's all your fault, you bitch!"

"If you hadn't seduced that bastard Tangning, how would we have been infected with AIDS?"

While Wang Sumei and the others were waiting for the elevator, they couldn't help but look to the corridor on the left. Outside the door of a ward there were several doctors, nurses, and the old man of the Tang family.

After Wang Sumei followed the expert team to the underground laboratory, she found Zhang Heping standing in front of an electron microscope screen, talking to a group of researchers behind him.

Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan understood every word Zhang Heping said, but they couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Fortunately, the expert group from China understood it and are now standing over there listening quietly.

Liu Yuan leaned close to Wang Sumei and asked in a low voice: "We all don't understand, but can those foreigners understand?"

"When the Peace Group recruited, they required people to speak Mandarin." Wang Sumei whispered, "Have you forgotten the people we arranged to teach Mandarin and simplified Chinese last time?"

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "It feels a little unbelievable. We don't understand those medical terms, but how long have those foreigners learned Mandarin to understand them?"

Suddenly, Zhang Heping's voice ended, and a burst of chattering sounded, mixed with languages ​​such as Yingfa Desu, which made Wang Sumei and Liu Yuan look at each other.

Then, Zhang Heping first said a few words in Eagle language, and then explained it in foreign languages ​​such as Fa language and De language.

Finally, Zhang Heping said slowly: "You should practice Mandarin more and write more simplified Chinese characters. When I speak, you'd better use a tape recorder or video recorder to record it, and then play it back slowly to avoid me explaining it to you in multiple languages."

"Okay!" Zhang Heping resumed his normal speaking speed and said, "You continue to isolate and culture HIV and keep relevant experimental records."

"Boss, the ventilation facilities here are too rudimentary. I'm worried that the virus will spread through the air and infect us." An Eagle suggested, "Should we move to the Medical Research Institute over at Victoria Harbor?"

Zhang Heping gave the Eagle countryman named David a meaningful look, and then explained to the people around him: "Although the renovation of the Peace Healthcare Institute is more than half completed, the formaldehyde inside exceeds the standard and is being rectified."

formaldehyde?

This is another word that foreigners cannot understand, but unfortunately Zhang Heping did not explain it any further.

"If you are worried about HIV being transmitted through the air, you can do relevant experiments to verify it." Zhang Heping left the group of foreigners who did not believe in the Peace Hospital magazine and took 16 virology experts to the laboratory next door.

"You have all read last month's issue of Peace Hospital, so I'll keep it simple." Zhang Heping pointed to the equipment and instruments in the laboratory, "Next, I need to develop a drug to inhibit the activity of HIV enzymes."

"Mr. Zhang, we are just here for a visit." Yin Tao, the expert team leader, said awkwardly, "We can't stay here for long."

"It's okay!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "I also have a laboratory in Shenzhen Hospital, but it's still under construction."

"Just stay here and do your research. When your passports expire, you can continue your experiments at the Cancer Treatment Institute at Shenzhen Hospital."

“That way, when we talk about this research over the phone or on webmail, it will be easier to communicate.”

"Cancer Treatment Research Institute?" A curious female expert asked doubtfully, "Mr. Zhang, it seems that only Harmony Hospital has a Cancer Treatment Research Institute in China."

"I also funded the establishment of the research institute at the Harmonious Hospital." Zhang Heping briefly explained, and then talked about the research direction, "Viruses need the catalytic action of multiple enzymes during the replication process, such as reverse transcriptase, integrase, protease, etc."

"I need a blocking drug that can inhibit the activity of these enzymes before HIV invades the human blood and hides in the lymph, thereby preventing the replication and integration of HIV RNA or DNA and the synthesis of proteins."
