Qin Chuan, apart from going to the Jiutan Development Zone with Gao Zhanting to check out the company's premises and then celebrating at the Jiutan Food and Beauty Restaurant, didn't get involved in the company's affairs. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. He could examine patients and prescribe medicine, and at most, give injections, but managing a company would be too much for him. However, Qin Chuan did do something: he used the laboratory equipment to prepare a batch of new drugs, ready for clinical trials.

Gao Zhanting, on the other hand, worked while keeping an eye on the construction process of Handing Pharmaceutical Company. She was incredibly busy every day, which was actually very beneficial for her. The busyness filled her temporary emptiness and helped her forget her pain.

Qin Chuan still arrived at the hospital entrance early in the morning, habitually walking in with Jiang Lingling, who had been waiting at the entrance. The two of them found a place to slowly enjoy their breakfast. Jiang Lingling always managed to come up with different breakfast combinations every day. The careless Qin Chuan couldn't even remember if any of these combinations had ever repeated.

When two people are together, turning the other into a natural part of their life means it will be hard to separate. Jiang Lingling was a very simple girl. She didn't care how much she gave or how much she received in return. But her efforts gradually made her a part of Qin Chuan's life. As for whether she would spoil Qin Chuan, Jiang Lingling didn't think that far ahead.

Rong Yueying supported Rong Fugui as they walked out of the hospital, her face streaked with tears.

Rong Fugui comforted his daughter all the way, "Yingzi, you've done your best. Dad knows you're very filial. But Dad can't keep dragging you down. Your family situation isn't good, and your child needs money for school. Dad is so old. Even if I get better, I won't live for many more years."

"Dad, you raised us all by yourself. Now that you're old, we can't even afford to treat your illness. What good are we?" Rong Yueying's tears couldn't be stopped.

Doctors hate to see such scenes. Qin Chuan wanted to quietly slip away, but when he saw Rong Yueying and her father, he had no choice but to walk over.

"Doctor Qin." Rong Yueying called out to Qin Chuan, who she was very grateful to, despite her current bad mood. She forced herself to call out to him through her grief.

"Are you checking out?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes, we have no choice." Rong Yueying lowered her head.

Qin Chuan felt helpless. He was just a doctor, not a savior.

When Rong Yueying reached the door, Qin Chuan suddenly remembered something and chased after her, "Wait!"

Rong Yueying and Rong Fugui turned around in surprise.

"Doctor Qin, did you call us?" Rong Yueying asked curiously.

Qin Chuan nodded, "Yes, can I take a bit of your time?"

"Doctor Qin, what is it?" Rong Yueying didn't understand what Qin Chuan wanted.

"Here's the thing. I know of a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug and is currently conducting clinical trials. This drug has unique effects on cardiovascular diseases. Its safety has been verified, and the clinical trial has been approved by the Ministry of Health. If you're willing, I can introduce you to them." Qin Chuan couldn't say that it was his own drug.

"Are you saying you want my dad to be a test subject for a drug trial?" Rong Yueying's face darkened. If it weren't for Qin Chuan saving Rong Fugui, she might have turned on him right there.

"Big Sister, you might have misunderstood what a clinical trial is. Generally, by the time a drug reaches the clinical trial stage, its safety has been confirmed. This is different from the human trials conducted by pharmaceutical companies in Europe and America, where the drugs haven't been safety-tested yet. In our country, the clinical trials conducted by legitimate pharmaceutical companies have already confirmed the drug's safety. They are just verifying the clinical effects and dosage." Qin Chuan quickly explained.

"I don't care what kind of clinical trial this is. I don't understand, but you're using my dad as a test subject. Doctor Qin, I might be overstepping, but if this were your father, would you let him participate in a clinical trial?" Rong Yueying questioned.

"I know no matter what I say, you'll doubt the truth of my words. But I can tell you that if I were in this situation, I would do everything in my power to treat my loved ones, not let them go home to die." Qin Chuan knew Rong Fugui's condition was very dangerous if he didn't continue treatment.

"You!" Rong Yueying thought Qin Chuan was accusing her of not doing her best to treat her father.

Rong Fugui was also unhappy, "Doctor Qin, don't say things you don't understand. You're a good doctor, but you don't know how many families are in dire straits. For you, this treatment cost might be nothing, but for a struggling family, it's a matter of life and death. Yueying's son is in college, she has no job, and she works odd jobs like a man. But few construction sites will hire her. At home, she doesn't idle. When cross-stitching was popular, she did that at home. Now, it doesn't sell anymore. I'm an old man, useless, and a burden to her. Her brother is no good, can't even support himself, and relies on Yueying for help."

Qin Chuan felt very guilty and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. About the clinical trial, I think you should consider it. No matter how it turns out, they won't charge you a penny. And even if it doesn't work, there won't be any safety issues. You can try it, and if it doesn't work, you can stop immediately."

Seeing that Rong Fugui and Rong Yueying were still hesitant, and Rong Yueying was even becoming hostile, Qin Chuan quickly added, "Whether you go or not is up to you."

Qin Chuan then turned and walked back into the hospital.

Rong Fugui and Rong Yueying stood there for a moment. Rong Fugui suddenly said, "Why don't we give it a try?"

"Dad, do you really believe him? Pharmaceutical companies can make money from drug trials. He's pushing us so hard because he can make a lot of money. We can't use our bodies for their experiments. Let's go home, and when I have enough money, we'll go to a big hospital for treatment." Rong Yueying firmly disagreed.

"If you still want to treat me, we should go to the place Doctor Qin suggested for the drug trial. Otherwise, let's go home and stay there. I'm almost eighty, and I've lived enough. Why should I drag you down?" Rong Fugui said.

Rong Yueying hesitated for a long time. Going home, she wasn't sure if she could raise the money, and her father couldn't last much longer. The doctor had said that with this condition, there was no good treatment. If they had the money, it would be best to stay in the hospital and gradually adjust. A cure was difficult, but if they gave up on treatment, it could be fatal.

"Yueying, don't hesitate. Go find Doctor Qin. I trust this young man. Among all the doctors we've seen, he's the best to us. Maybe this new drug can really cure my illness. I just want to see my grandson succeed." Rong Fugui said.

Qin Chuan hadn't been back in the department long when Rong Yueying came to find him.

"Doctor Qin." Rong Yueying felt embarrassed.

"Hello, have you made up your mind?" Qin Chuan knew why she was there.

Rong Yueying nodded, feeling ashamed.

"It's okay. Non-professionals can easily misunderstand such things. Since you agree, I'll contact them for you." Qin Chuan didn't know how the pharmaceutical company was preparing, so he quickly called Gao Zhanting and got confirmation before telling Rong Yueying, "They have everything arranged. Someone will come to pick you up soon."

While Qin Chuan was talking to Rong Yueying, he didn't notice that someone was eavesdropping from a short distance away. That person was Wu Xiaoming. Wu Xiaoming seemed to have discovered a huge secret and was overjoyed. He was afraid of missing a word and also worried about being discovered by Qin Chuan, so he was very cautious.

Qin Chuan sent Rong Yueying to the hospital entrance. A while later, someone from the company came to pick up Rong Fugui and Rong Yueying.

Wu Xiaoming secretly took pictures of everything with his phone. He thought Qin Chuan was colluding with a small hospital or clinic to poach patients from the hospital. This happens in many hospitals, where some doctors open clinics outside and send hospital patients to their own clinics for treatment. But it's uncommon in a top-tier hospital like the Central Hospital. Wu Xiaoming probably thought Qin Chuan would be his biggest competitor for awards and promotions, so he was paying special attention to him.

Qin Chuan didn't notice Wu Xiaoming. After sending Rong Fugui and his daughter away, he returned to the emergency department to continue his work.

Wu Xiaoming took the video on his phone to Cheng Guanhua. He thought that even if Cheng Guanhua knew, he might favor Qin Chuan and just give a mild reprimand, then let it go. So, Wu Xiaoming went directly to the deputy director's office.

"Xiaoming, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come to me during work hours?" Zheng Yuanmeng frowned when he saw Wu Xiaoming.

"Uncle, this time it's not for personal matters, but for the hospital." Wu Xiaoming said mysteriously.

Zheng Yuanmeng was puzzled, "For the hospital?"
