"What? They’re asking to do so much, and also asking to publicly announce going to Sanbo Hospital for treatnt, publicly announce my support for Professor Yang’s X-2 vaccine enhancer. It’s infuriating, aren’t they just making into a living advertisent? Making acknowledge that their technology is ahead of ours?" Li Gaoyang furiously slamd Rolf’s docunts onto the desk.
"It’s impossible! I’m going to use humanitarian grounds to pressure them. He’s a doctor; can a doctor stand by while soone dies?" Li Gaoyang’s voice grew louder.
Rolf just looked at him, letting him finish before saying slowly, "You can directly book the top doctors, while ordinary people in the United States are waiting in long lines for surgery. Why don’t you question why doctors won’t save them?"
"If you go through the normal process to book surgery with Yang Ping or K Therapy, you won’t have a chance in the coming years. You’re asking for soone to give you a chance to live. It’s about surviving, do you understand? You still haven’t grasped the current situation, so I really can’t help you. Take care of yourself." Rolf stood up to leave.
Li Gaoyang imdiately got up from the chair and quickly walked forward to hold on to Rolf: "My good friend, my closest partner, you can’t abandon like this."
Rolf shrugged: "I’ve never seen soone asking for help with such an attitude. If it were , I wouldn’t want to accept a patient like you either."
"Let think carefully." Li Gaoyang sat down, rubbing his temples.
"Take your ti to think, alright?" Rolf sighed and sat back down, "Please control your emotions, negative emotions will accelerate the deterioration of the illness."
"As a friend, I must advise you to change your attitude, recognize the situation, and make a sincere and correct decision. It’s the only way out." Rolf earnestly advised the old friend.
Li Gaoyang said helplessly, "Once the illness is made public, I’ll lose control of BG."
"You don’t necessarily have to make the illness public; you can just publicly announce seeking treatnt at Sanbo Hospital and not disclose specific illness details. Rember, you can only have power if you’re alive." Rolf reminded.
Li Gaoyang finally compromised: "Alright, go ahead and arrange it, I’ll follow your arrangent."
...
Under the global live broadcast, Li Gaoyang once again stood behind the podium. That face, known for its toughness and arrogance, was now covered by pallor and fatigue. The spotlight was too intense, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his temples.
Below the stage, the forest of long and short guns was silent, with only occasional clicks of the shutters. Countless pairs of eyes glued to him through the live broadcast signal, waiting for his speech.
He cleared his throat, his voice resonating throughout the venue via the microphone, "Thank you to all dia friends for being here. At this dia conference, I mainly want to announce two things. The first is about my personal health condition. Recently, I encountered so health issues, and after thorough discussions with the dical team and careful evaluation with international peers..."
He paused, his gaze skimming over the confused faces of the front-row reporters, those international news agency reporters waiting patiently, finally landing on the teleprompter’s cold, humiliating yet unavoidable words.
His Adam’s apple moved up and down slightly.
"...I have decided to go to Sanbo Hospital for treatnt from Professor Yang Ping and his team."
The dead silence lasted roughly two seconds. Then, like boiling water, shocked whispers, incredulous questioning, and hurried discussions surged up. The flashlights went into a frenzy, nearly drowning Li Gaoyang in one bright white light.
He raised his voice, trying hard to suppress the noise, each word squeezed out through gritted teeth yet maintaining outward calmness: "The second matter is regarding the latest, comprehensive academic reviews and risk assessnts: We have recognized that the X-2 enhancer technology led by Professor Yang Ping exhibits world-leading potential and unique advantages. Not only does the X-2 technology lead globally, but many technologies by Professor Yang, such as the K Therapy targeting tumors, are also foremost treatnt thods. Our dical team, based on various advanced technologies by Professor Yang, concluded that I will proceed to China for treatnt from Professor Yang."
"Wow——!"
Now even the semblance of order was hard to maintain. A reporter known for sharpness suddenly stood up, almost rushing to the front of the stage: "Mr. Li Gaoyang! As far as I know, both the X-2 vaccine technology and the K Therapy for tumor treatnt have widespread concerns about their safety within the international academic community. Your current statent contradicts these concerns?"
Li Gaoyang felt his temples throbbing, his stomach tightening. He forced himself to et that aggressive gaze, responding with a rehearsed tone: "Science is developing, and assessnts are dynamic. Our judgnt is based on objective facts. Would I joke about my health? Please understand one thing: I am the president of the BG Group. We cannot ignore objective facts due to prejudice."
Soone else shouted: "There are claims that you previously firmly opposed Professor Yang’s two technologies; is this change driven by so irresistible pressure?"
Li Gaoyang’s fingers deeply dug into his palm, the stinging pain helping him maintain final composure. "There is no pressure, who could put pressure on , you? This is fact. Previously, we lacked understanding; here, I apologize to the public, and I urge you to abandon prejudice, accept the truth, thank you."
He wanted to escape, but he didn’t do it; he still pretended to calmly leave the conference venue, leaving behind a thoroughly boiling, chaotic, and wildly speculating public opinion field.
