I Am Diagnosed as a Medical Titan

But it was also extremely sincere.

Yang Xu was afraid that Jiang He was too young and would ruin his bright future by diving headfirst into a quagmire.

That’s why he took the risk of subtly advising him to "slack off."

This showed he was treating Jiang He as someone incredibly close to him.

Jiang He was silent for a moment.

He understood his teacher’s good intentions, but he also knew his own path.

"Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I still want to advance on two fronts. I will complete the national-level virus research project, ensuring both quality and quantity. But I must also do the miRNA and SAP prediction project. It’s very important to me."

Yang Xu stared at Jiang He for a full half-minute.

In the end, he could only compromise.

He stood up, shook his head, and gave a wry smile. "Fine. I get it now. Once you set your mind on something, not even nine bulls can drag you back. Since you know what you’re doing, then do as you see fit. Anyway, in the P3 lab, the resources are yours to command. Just don’t let it delay the national project."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Yang Xu waved a hand and left the hospital room.

After the door closed, Jiang He and Shen Yu were once again the only two in the room.

Jiang He leaned against the headboard, his expression calm.

Everyone thought that early SAP prediction and miRNA were a dead end.

Minister Lin had no faith in it, the experts from the Capital City had no faith in it, the academicians had no faith in it, and Yang Xu had no faith in it either.

This was normal.

But what they didn’t know was that in his past life, after his wife passed away, Jiang He had obsessively studied pancreatic cancer for many years.

He eventually published an authoritative monograph on the surgical treatment of late-stage pancreatic cancer.

On the title page of this work were just two words:

[Heyi Zhiyu]

Therefore, he was absolutely confident he could make this project a success.

He just needed to get into the lab, replicate the target points that already existed in his mind one by one, and then solidify them with ironclad data...

Once this project was truly brought to fruition,

he would completely change the screening and treatment of severe pancreatitis.

All the current doubt and dissuasion would just be part of the prelude.

The entire medical community’s perception of him would be turned on its head.

—And at that moment, we will turn the tables!

Returning to the present, Jiang He got out of bed, stretched a little, and said, "Finally, I can walk."

He turned to look at Shen Yu, about to ask if she wanted to go back to the school to rest or get something to eat, but Shen Yu beat him to it and walked up to him.

"Jiang He."

"Hm?"

"Go out with me this afternoon."

"Eh?"

Jiang He was taken aback for a moment.

He really hadn’t expected Teacher Shen to suddenly make such a request.

Shen Yu pouted and poked Jiang He’s arm.

"I’m afraid that as soon as you’re discharged, you’ll just run back to the lab to fiddle with that project of yours. When it comes to research, you’re completely reckless."

She took half a step closer. "Now, while I’m still here, I’m going to drag you out to have some fun. What? You got a problem with that?"

Jiang He hadn’t even spoken yet.

Shen Yu cut him off. "Even if you have a problem, it’s useless, so suck it up! This afternoon, you’re all mine. You’re coming out with me! You’re coming out with me!"

Looking at his wife, who was pretending to be fierce, Jiang He couldn’t help but laugh.

"Okay," he agreed.

In fact, just before Shen Yu had spoken, a thought had indeed crossed his mind: ’First, I’ll go to the factory building in the High-Tech Zone to check on the construction progress, and then I’ll head back to the university to confirm the research direction.’

But now, those thoughts were the furthest thing from his mind.

’That’s right, my wife is going back tomorrow morning. If I still focus on research, I’d be a real idiot.’

’I should spend some proper time with her, find more chances to hold her.’

’Besides...’

’I have more money than I know what to do with right now.’

’My original plan was to go bottom-fishing in the stock market.’

’Once the market recovered and I’d made a profit, I was going to use those earnings to fund my research projects.’

’But now, I don’t need to invest in the stock market, and I don’t need to worry about research funding either.’

’The state has stepped in directly. All equipment, consumables, and staff salaries will be covered by the national treasury—a green light all the way.’

’Minister Lin made it very clear: the authorities will help me repay Wang Kuan’s money.’

’So this 2 million I have on hand is all mine, to spend as I please.’

’A college student in ’08, with two million in disposable cash... I’m practically a Celestial Dragon.’

’Two million is enough to buy a luxury downtown apartment outright, with enough left over to pick up a top-spec A6.’

But he had no mind for looking at apartments or cars right now; only one thought remained in his head:

’This afternoon, I’ll take Teacher Shen out and buy her some nice things.’

’It’s not about showing off my wealth. I just feel good spending money on her. It feels right.’

...

...

「Afternoon.」

The sunlight on the street was a bit glaring.

Although the alert had been preliminarily lifted, the ripples of the storm’s passing could still be felt on the streets.

Most pedestrians on the street wore masks and hurried along.

People subconsciously kept their distance from one another.

The smell of disinfectant occasionally wafted from the street corners, likely from a recent round of spraying by municipal workers.

Walking side by side with Shen Yu, he enjoyed the leisurely feeling of not having to race against time.

"Where are we going first?" Shen Yu asked.

"First, let’s take care of some business. I need to make a transfer."

The two of them crossed the road and walked to the entrance of a bank.

A security guard holding a temperature gun scanned both of their foreheads, then handed them a bottle of hand sanitizer.

After completing the protective measures, they pushed open the heavy glass doors and entered the bank lobby.

The air in the lobby was a bit stuffy, and a surprising number of people were in line.

The manager, wearing a mask and holding a stack of numbered tickets, was completely swamped.

When Jiang He and Shen Yu walked in, they didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

They were both dressed in simple casual clothes and wearing masks, looking just like a typical college couple from the nearby university.
