Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhao An glanced at the recent patients. Because of the signed agreement, even knowing leukemia was treatable, he couldn't disclose it; otherwise, he'd be fined and have to pay compensation. Aside from that, he wouldn't have to pay for the treatment himself; he only needed to be responsible for the experimental drugs.
There were three types of leukemia: early, middle, and late stages. Early-stage leukemia patients recovered very quickly, almost within a week. After taking the medication, their daily improvement was very noticeable, the trade-off being increased appetite and a slight reduction in lifespan. However, this wasn't a major issue; it wouldn't be detectable in tests, only Zhao An knew.
Once a person gets sick, their lifespan is naturally shortened, nothing strange about it, just a matter of how much. Some lose a day, some a year, it depends on luck and fate.
Zhao An checked the lab, wearing a mask to conceal his identity. He gave a brief, perfunctory inspection; in reality, he already knew the drug was fine. Anything produced by the system was bound to be top-notch. However, sometimes a little manipulation is necessary to 'prove' that he's genuinely conducting research and development, and not just fabricating something out of thin air. It also simplifies the patent application process; only with verifiable evidence can a patent be applied for.
Bai Qiuqin quickly arrived at the hospital, changed into a white coat, and wore a mask and glasses, obscuring her face. Only her expensive high heels gave her away; what female doctor would wear such expensive high heels?
"You really were secretly experimenting with new drugs," Bai Qiuqin said, removing her mask as she entered the office, her tone slightly teasing.
"What do you mean secretly? I'm doing it openly and honestly, hehe, you seem a little horny!" Zhao An grabbed Bai Qiuqin and kissed her without hesitation.
"Mmm!" Bai Qiuqin also wrapped her arms around Zhao An's neck, exchanging saliva passionately. Ever since witnessing Zhao An's abilities during the New Year, she had become increasingly satisfied with this kind of transaction with him. She was also very glad she could get a taxi so quickly; otherwise, getting one wouldn't be so easy in the future. At least she knew Zhao An was currently highly sought after; many women wanted to seduce him, making it extremely difficult to snag such a wealthy husband.
After a fierce kiss, Zhao An released Bai Qiuqin. "Do you remember our bet?"
Bai Qiuqin tossed her hair, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. "Remember? Of course I remember. Hehe, disappointed you, aren't you?"
"No, on the contrary, you're the one who's disappointed. Nice that you remember. I have things to do; let's talk later." Zhao An finished speaking, pinched Bai Qiuqin's shapely buttocks, feeling their amazing elasticity, and then left the office.
Only after Zhao An left did Bai Qiuqin's smiling expression suddenly turn cold, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of seriousness. "Hmph, he just left like that? Am I really that unattractive?" Thinking this, she deliberately went to the restroom to touch up her makeup. She knew very well that the Lin family was already taking action. Suddenly starting large-scale cultivation of entirely new medicinal herbs without any orders was highly suspicious.
Furthermore, judging from the medicinal herbs grown by the Lin family, it was clear this was related to a new drug. But no one would be foolish enough to have all their materials grown at the Lin family's place—wouldn't that be indirectly revealing the ingredients?
Most people wouldn't do that, but Zhao An did the opposite. Even if the ingredients were known, it wouldn't matter; he wouldn't reveal the subsequent processing methods, and no one would be able to crack them. Some things can't be solved medically; there's no need to reveal that. He just wanted to create a trap for others—it felt quite good.
Arriving at the inpatient department, Zhao An went to a VIP ward and lay down, playing on his phone.
A short while later, the ward door opened, and Chen Qing, wearing a white coat and pure white high heels, walked in, a hint of shyness on her face. "Young Master An, good afternoon."
"Yes, I'm here. Just say what you need; I'm quite busy." Zhao An knew what she wanted, but sometimes it's better to let the woman take the initiative. Because if a woman takes the initiative, her resistance will be much lower, making her easier to manipulate later.
Chen Qing stood somewhat embarrassed in front of Zhao An, her hands still tightly clasped together. Recalling her previous contempt for Zhao An, a bitter feeling welled up inside her; she seemed to have offended him without even realizing it. "Young Master An, I'd like you to help me with my intermediate professional title application."
"How long have you been a doctor?" Zhao An didn't agree, but instead asked first.
"Fifteen years," Chen Qing answered truthfully. She was thirty-eight years old, well-maintained, and at the age when a woman's libido is at its peak. A mature female doctor is very alluring to a young man; the nature of her profession would excite Zhao An even more. Manipulating beauties from various professions was one of his small goals.
"Fifteen years, now you're a resident physician, right? Intermediate professional titles are indeed difficult to obtain, and the number of positions is limited. But you've been a doctor for fifteen years, how come you can't even get an intermediate title? That's a bit pathetic," Zhao An mocked mercilessly, exaggerating as much as he could.
Professional titles also require connections. First, you need a certain number of years of work experience; second, you need a certain level of education, at the very least a full-time undergraduate degree. After meeting these requirements, your career can't have any other problems, and you also need a good evaluation from the hospital. External conditions include passing a standardized exam, and internal conditions require the hospital's approval.
The exam is difficult, but with some effort, it's possible to pass. Many of the questions are encountered in your career; just answer truthfully, it's not that difficult.
The difficulty lies in meeting the external conditions but not the internal ones; otherwise, you'll be blocked.
Chen Qing lowered her head shyly, "Because I didn't try to get it before." It wasn't that she didn't want to try, but she couldn't. It was either through personal connections or physical relationships. Don't assume this place is pristine; otherwise, it wouldn't have these VIP wards.
As for Dean Sun, it's not that he's averse to women. He prefers money and understands the importance of exchanging opportunities to pave the way for his descendants, rather than indulging in women. Doctors know the consequences of excessive sexual activity; few truly enjoy playing around with women. Too much indulgence can cause hand tremors, which is fatal for surgeons.
