Chapter 360 Going Home
Of course, with gratitude, he suggested that the names of Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang, and some professors in the college who had treated him well should be added into the list of the researchers. However, those righteous people refused his suggestion strongly and criticized him with an angry and serious face, which fully showed their care for him.
The Rice Bean Oral Solution Ding Ning developed to replace antibiotics not only changed the situation where Western medicine was in a monopoly position in the medical community but also would win a Nobel Prize. As the professors who valued their fame very much, they would never do such a shameless thing to gain fame when faced by such a huge temptation, no matter how much they desired for it. They regarded it a humiliation to accept such a suggestion.
Seeing that they criticized him seriously, Ding Ning immediately apologized to them with a bitter smile, and he respected them more for their good quality. It was exactly because there were so many upright, selfless scholars who sought neither fame nor gain and were devoted to scientific research that the country could grow prosperous and rich and the technology developed quickly. Compared to those “speciousists and profartssors” who sought nothing but fame, these upright professors were truly the models for all the professors.
After he calmed these professors’ anger with effort, Ding Ning started an academic exchange with them, analyzing and elaborating the pharmacology and property of the Rice Bean Oral Solution from a scientific perspective. Those grey-haired professors all made noted on the notebook in their hands carefully like pupils. They would even raise their hands when they had questions. Without reservation, Ding Ning answered all their questions in detail, from which these professors gained a lot.
Two heads were better than one, let alone that these were experts and scholars who had devoted their lives to academic research. Ding Ning, a fledgling in the scientific research field, could not be their match in terms of experience. Those professors took the initiative to answer his questions and looked at him like looking at their children.
Solely relying on his findings of the microorganisms in grains and bean sprouts, he could establish his authority in the international medical community because these two kinds of microorganisms could be widely applied to clinical treatment. Plus his creation of Rice Bean Oral Solution, he was able to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine of the next year.
Karolinska Institute, a medical academic institution in Sweden, was responsible for the selection process of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. According to the related constitution of the Nobel Foundation, Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and is composed of 50 elected professors from Karolinska Institute.
The specific selection process was as follows: Nobel Committee, which was appointed by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute as its working body, was empowered to recommend laureates in Physiology or Medicine, and the deadline for sign up was February 1st each year. The committee would screen nominees before recommending them to the Nobel Assembly, which would decide the final winners and announce the list in October. The awarding ceremony would be held in Stockholm Concert Hall on December 10th each year.
Winging a Nobel Prize was the greatest honor and achievement that many scientific researchers would devote their lives to pursue, and once they succeeded, their names would be written into the annals of history, which was the greatest honor that every scientific researcher wanted to have.
Once Ding Ning won a Nobel Prize, he would gain a stable position in the international medical community. For this, these traditional Chinese physicians like Mr. Hu were very enthusiastic and expectant to witness it.
After all, the more influential Ding Ning was in the international medical community, the smoother the road to make traditional Chinese medicine great again would be, and twice the result would be yielded with half the effort in promoting traditional Chinese medicine worldwide.
During the warm discussion, Mr. Zhang advised at a proper time that Ding Ning should write an article about his findings of the microorganisms in grains and bean sprouts and the pharmacology and property of the Rice Bean Oral Solution as soon as possible, for later use. Once the Rice Bean Oral Solution passed the clinical test, he even needn’t take the initiative to contribute to the periodical because influential periodical worldwide would find him on their own initiative. Everyone present agreed about this.
The happiest person about this was Principal Lu. Since Ding Ning was a postgraduate in his medical college in Ninghai, once Ding Ning won a Nobel Prize, the college would be among the top domestic colleges. In his eyes, Ding Ning was a great talent that he would not let go.
For the time being, the most embarrassing problem was that Ding Ning was just a postgraduate in college. If he won a Nobel Prize as a postgraduate, those professors of authority would feel very embarrassed after knowing this.
Chin in his hand, Principal Lu wondered if he could change Ding Ning’s status in the college through some special ways. At least, he wanted to promote him as an honorary associate professor.
However, soon, he stopped thinking about this because once the medicament Ding Ning developed passed the clinical test, the Chief No. 1 would grant him an award personally; by then, giving Ding Ning a professional title was just a piece of cake.
When Principal Lu thought that Ding Ning, who was just 22 years old now and would only be 23 the next year, was to win a Nobel Prize, he felt it hard to believe and thought that Ding Ning was really a great genius.
After seeing those enthusiastic professors out, Ding Ning felt even more tired than when he fought against Long Xiaotian and Ju Zhu. He then hurriedly moved with Luoxue, who had packed up all their luggage.
Though he was very reluctant to leave the equipment in the laboratory behind, he could foresee that he would be dogged by many people after the Rice Bean Oral Solution passed the clinical test, since he had done many experiments about the medicament and knew it would surely pass the test.
He had to leave there now for he had promised his elder sister to move to live with her. His research had to the end of a stage, so, it was best for him to leave now; otherwise, he might not be able to leave later.
Shengshi Huating Complex, a new complex developed by one of Longteng Group’s subsidiaries, was located at the boundary of Jingning District and Jingpu District. Though the beautiful Swan Lake inside the complex was artificial, over 80 percent of greenery coverage made the place full of green and idyllic.
Moreover, the complex was opposite Spring All The Year Round City, a street away from Ye Huan and Ye Le’s home.
The No.1 building of Shengshi Huating Complex was the biggest and most beautiful villa with a garden among the only five villas in the complex, with an amazingly large area over five hundred square meters.
After entering this three-floor villa, once could see a luxurious living room over three hundred square meters with primal wooden floors. The sectional fabric sofa in light yellow looked simple yet elegant. There were also a luxurious teapot in black and white, and a wine cabinet and a bar counter in light blue in the room. The deluxe crystal chandelier emitted bright and gentle light.
Decorated in a Mediterranean-style, the room looked pleasing.
Ding Qianlie, who was in a pink home dress with an apron tied to her waist, walked out of the kitchen like a good wife and said to Ding Ning with a smile, “Welcome home, brother.”
Upon hearing the word “home”, Ding Ning shivered, his eyes wet with tears. He had not heard the word long, and at the moment, he was so moved on hearing the word unexpectedly.
With tearful eyes, he walked to Ding Qianlie and gave her a big hug, saying in a sobbing tone, “I finally have a home, sister.”
As a lump came into Ding Qianlie’s throat, she almost burst into tears. However, she still smiled brightly and rubbed Ding Ning’s head affectionately, saying, “From today on, this is our home. We should rely upon each other even without dad and mom.”
Ding Luoxue did not show any dissatisfaction with her being ignored. Instead, she stared at Ding Ning, who always had a calm smile on his face, with love in her eyes, and thought that he also had such a fragile side.
“Luoxue... is my sworn sister.”
Thinking of that Luoxue was with him, Ding Ning immediately broke free from his sister’s hug and introduced Luoxue to her.
“Oh, you’re Sister Luoxue. What a pretty girl! Come on, sit down and have a rest. You must try the food I make.”
Ding Qianlie certainly knew the relationship between Ding Ning and Luoxue, but she said nothing about it and just welcomed Luoxue warmly.
Luoxue greeted her in a sweet voice, “Nice to meet you, Sister Lieqian.”
“Nice to meet you, too. This is your home as well from now on. You can call me sister just as Ding Ning does.”
Ding Qianlie talked with Luoxue, her rival in love, in a polite and warm way.
“Yes, sister.”
Ding Luoxue did not feel constrained anymore and showed a warm smile as she said, “Let me help you cook the meal, sister.”
“You know how to cook?”
Ding Qianlie was surprised to hear that for she had thought the girls with Ding Ning were all spoiled girls who knew nothing about cooking.
“Well, Luoxue is good at cooking, as skillful as the chefs in five-star hotels.”
Ding Ning took the chance to flatter Luoxue, who smiled brightly at the words.
“Good. I was worrying that the food I made would be tasteless. Now, I can leave it to Sister Luoxue.”
Ding Qianlie let out a sigh of relief, took out a cookery-book from the pocket of her apron, and put it on the table.
Ding Qianlie had no gift for cooking. She usually either ate out or ordered takeout. Considering that it was inappropriate to order takeout the first day Ding Ning had moved in, she thus made a frantic last-minute effort to learn how to cook from a cookery-book.
The facts had proved that one might be a master only in his own special field. Ding Qianlie, who was a talented and accomplished businesswoman, had no gift for cooking at all.
She had been working in the kitchen since eight in the morning, yet, it was noon, and she had not washed or cleaned the vegetables.
“Leave it all to me, and have a rest, sister.”
In terms of cooking, Luoxue was second to none except Ding Ning, in her opinions. With great confidence, she received the apron Ding Qianlie handed to her and walked into the kitchen.
“It’s great of you to find a girl who can take care of you, brother. I didn’t expect Luoxue to know how to cook. She is good.”
As Ding Qianlie stretched herself leisurely, Ding Ning spotted her perfect figure and recalled that he touched her accidentally yesterday. His face blushed a little, and he looked away embarrassedly.
“Come on, brother, let’s me show you your room. I’ve prepared a room for you.”
A sly expression flashed within Ding Qianlie’s eyes when she saw Ding Ning’s embarrassed look. Holding his hands, she went upstairs.
“It doesn’t matter. Any room is ok for me.”
Feeling Ding Qianlie’s soft and slender hand in his hand, Ding Ning cursed himself that he was a bastard as he had some evil thoughts on her.
“How could that be ok? This house was renovated recently, and I moved in yesterday. It took me a whole day to clean it.”
As if she had sensed nothing, Ding Qianlie still held Ding Ning’s hand and said to him while walking, “There are three floors in this house. On the first floor, there is a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and five guest rooms. On the second floor are one main bedroom and four secondary bedrooms, and each of them is a suite with a separate bathroom and a reception room. The rest space has been transformed into a gym, a yoga room, and a study room. On the third floor, there is a separate laboratory for you, a room to store clutter, and three provisional restrooms. I also built a swimming pool, a greenhouse, a room for barbecue on the roof. When we are free, we could swim in the pool while barbecuing.”
Ding Ning looked around his new house with Ding Qianlie hand in hand like a marionette.
He had to admit that he was very satisfied with this house. The decoration style suited his taste, and his sister even prepared a laboratory as good as and even better than the one in his school for him. His sister was even more thoughtful than him.
