Chapter 215: Seeking Medicine
After the doctor left, Ji Jingshen sat down next to her.
"Where is the child? I want to see her."
She hasn't seen him since the child was born.
"The doctor said the baby was premature and very weak. She's in an incubator right now. Here's a picture I took. Take a look. I'll take you to see her once you're feeling better and can get out of bed and walk."
Song Qianyi was stunned for a moment, her eyes reddening. She hadn't expected this, but the thought of her child being born safely made her feel very content.
Seeing the tiny bundle sleeping in the incubator, her heart instantly softened.
Have you named the child yet?
Ji Jingshen shook his head. "I want to wait until you wake up so we can think about it together."
Song Qianyi looked down at the photos on her phone, a gentle smile unconsciously curving her lips.
"I only hope that my daughter can grow up safely."
Ji Jingshen smiled and gently embraced Song Qianyi.
"Then let's call her Sui'an, Ji Sui'an, hoping that she can be safe and sound every year."
Song Qianyi paused for a moment, thought about the name carefully, and nodded in agreement.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the doctor rushed to the ward that very afternoon.
"President Ji's child is in very bad condition."
The two people in the ward were stunned when they heard this, and subconsciously looked up at the doctor, "What's wrong with the child?"
Wasn't it staying perfectly fine in the incubator? What could have happened?
"The child just went into shock and has been taken to the emergency room. However, due to the limited medical capabilities in our country, we don't yet know what's wrong with the child and need to conduct further examinations."
Song Qianyi dropped the cup in her hand and her face turned deathly pale.
How could this be?
"Jing... Jing Shen, you must save our child. He's so young, just born, and hasn't even had a proper look at the world yet."
Her voice choked with sobs, and her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe.
Ji Jingshen wasn't much better off, but he forced himself to calm down, comforted Song Qianyi, and quickly used his connections to invite all sorts of experts from the medical field.
However, things are not going well; Sui'an has contracted a rare disease.
"Is there really no way to treat this?"
"If the child were older, we might be able to stabilize the condition, but the child is too young, so let's stick to conservative treatment."
Song Qianyi covered her mouth tightly and cried out in pain.
"I heard that a pharmaceutical research institute in City A has a special drug to treat this disease. Mr. Ji, you can go and take a look. Maybe the child can still be saved."
One of the experts recalled a piece of information he had heard before and shared it with them.
"okay, I get it."
After the doctors left, Song Qianyi and her partner discussed it and decided to keep the matter a secret, not wanting their parents to worry.
Most importantly, I don't want some people to know about this and then take advantage of it.
However, Cheng Linhao still managed to hear some rumors about them.
"Are you telling the truth? Song Qianyi gave birth to a sickly child?"
Cheng Linhao couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the news; it was truly a stroke of luck.
"Restart all projects in the company immediately."
Ji Jingshen doesn't have the energy to deal with things here right now; he needs to seize the time to rebuild the company.
However, we can make use of the research institute.
"Go check if you know anyone at this research institute in City A. I'd like to invite him for a coffee."
The secretary was given the address of the Nanpeijiang Research Institute, and the results were received that afternoon.
A director at the research institute is in urgent need of funds, but there's been no way to access them.
Looking at the contact information on the document, Cheng Linhao slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
"Hello?"
The supervisor, who was conducting research, suddenly received a phone call. He frowned. He didn't like being disturbed during work hours, but the situation was special at the moment, and he didn't want to miss any incoming calls.
“I know you’re in a hurry for money right now. I can help you, as long as you postpone the launch of the drug that your research institute is currently developing and refuse any people who come to you asking for the drug.”
The supervisor frowned. "Why should I believe you?"
He had barely finished speaking when he heard his phone beep.
One million yuan was deposited into the bank account.
The manager was stunned when he saw the balance on his phone. Soon after, the man's voice came from the other end of the line.
"This is just a deposit. I will give you another two million once the matter is settled."
Thinking about what had happened to him recently, the supervisor gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, it was just a delay in the listing date, and it wouldn't have a big impact.
Moreover, this drug was developed in secret and has not been promoted online, so not many people want to know about it.
However, someone came to the door that very afternoon.
What brings you here?
"Hello, we're here to buy medicine. We heard that your research institute has been researching a special drug for a rare disease, and we'd like to buy a bottle."
They had already done their research before they came.
The supervisor frowned, glanced at the medicine they had brought out, his pupils contracted slightly, and sighed helplessly as he thought of the phone call he had received that morning.
If they had arrived earlier, the medicine could have been sold to them; they were simply unlucky to have come so late.
"I'm sorry, this drug is still in the research and development stage and has not been officially launched. It carries certain risks, so we cannot sell it to you."
"how is this possible?"
Song Qianyi couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The man, who had always held a supervisory position at the research institute and had never been questioned, suddenly turned cold upon hearing Song Qianyi's words.
"Are you questioning my words? In that case, we won't waste any more time here. You two should go back and take a look at other research institutes. Maybe their progress is faster than mine."
After saying that, he got up and left without any hesitation. Song Qianyi frowned, feeling that something was not right.
"Don't you think there's something strange about this supervisor?"
Wasn't this rejection a bit too quick?
“According to normal people’s thinking, even if this drug is currently dangerous, they would reserve some slots for people who come to buy the drug, instead of refusing it outright like he did.”
Ji Jingshen hadn't said a word the whole time; he had just sent people to investigate the research institute.
Hopefully, there aren't any complicated issues involved, otherwise he wouldn't mind putting in some effort to tidy things up properly.
"you're right."
Moreover, she had a hunch that this matter was somehow related to Cheng Linhao.
Thinking of this, Song Qianyi quickly shook her head. She must be overthinking it. Ever since she gave birth, she has always been a little paranoid, especially about things related to the child.
Song Qianyi rubbed her temples wearily.
What if we really can't get this effective drug?
"There are so many research institutes in the country, it's impossible that they are the only ones with the medicine, there must be a way."
Ji Jingshen gently comforted him.
