Chapter 592 Raise your hands! (2-in-1)
Zhang Yan’s appearance shocked the three people present.
Chen Yao frowned, while Chen Jinlong subconsciously avoided her gaze.
Zhou Hui’s cloudy eyes flashed with a trace of panic that could not be concealed, "Ayan, why are you here? Get up, stop crying, stop crying, it’s nothing serious."
As she spoke, she pulled her daughter up with force.
Chen Shuangshuang, who was running behind him, stood there blankly, his hands and feet were cold, and he murmured to himself: "Cancer·—cancer·—"
In her mind, cancer is equal to death.
Chen Yao looked at Zhang Yan, her eyes flashed, and she quickly returned to her usual indifference, "Zhang Yan, I originally said that my mother would call you, but now that you are here, it is just right."
After a while, Zhang Yan sobbed. It gradually subsided.
She wiped her face with her sleeves and looked at her mother with red eyes, "Mom, what is going on?"
Zhou Hui looked at her daughter's concerned eyes and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
She owed her daughter a lot and really didn’t want her to get involved in this kind of thing, so she kept it secret.
It was only when the reexamination results came out last Tuesday that she knew she might not live long, so she couldn't help but run to her rental house to take a look at her.
Chen Yao didn’t have so many scruples, and directly handed a thick stack of checklists to her, "Zhang Yan, she is also your mother after all, and you have the right to know. She was diagnosed with leprosy a few months ago. I have been undergoing first-line treatment for my tumor. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on it. I just learned about it." Zhang Yan took the thick stack of examination sheets, her hands trembling.
Looking through it in a panic, she knew every word, but seemed to understand nothing when they were connected together.
She really didn’t want to believe it, nor did she want to accept it.
"Ayan." Zhou Hui stretched out her rough and dry hands, held her daughter's arm, and wanted to take the order from her hand, "I don't necessarily need to continue chemotherapy, maybe, maybe it can be cured."
"What chemotherapy?" Chen Yao suddenly interrupted: "BR is already drug-resistant! In this case, we can only switch to second-line treatment!"
Zhang Yan's eyes froze for a moment, and she asked nervously: "What do you mean?"
Chen Yao seemed too lazy to explain, and said: "Forget it, I can't explain it to you, so you don't think I'm scaring you. You can go in and ask the doctor yourself later! The results of last week's examination have just come out, and I will definitely get the most accurate answer if I see the doctor today."
She only found out about it recently. She didn’t know the specific details, but only had a rough idea.
But one thing is clear. Zhou Hui's condition has worsened and there is even a risk of transformation. Once she needs treatment, it will be a bottomless pit.
When Zhang Yan heard this, she bit her lip hard and said nothing.
She took out her mobile phone and began to search for the unfamiliar terms on the checklist one by one.
Her mind was buzzing, and she didn’t know what she was doing.
I just did this subconsciously, as if grabbing a piece of driftwood, trying to prevent myself from being overwhelmed by despair.
Chen Shuangshuang came over at some point, hugged Zhou Hui and cried softly.
There are people coming and going around, and the door of the consulting room comes in and out.
Zhang Yan just lowered her head, immersed in her own world.
I waited for more than half an hour.
The name "Zhou Hui" was clearly called out on the voice announcement system in the clinic.
Zhang Yan suddenly raised her head and immediately took her mother's arm, "Come on, Mom, let's go in and ask the doctor!"
Zhou Hui looked at her daughter, took a deep breath, and finally followed her into the door of the consulting room.
Zhang Yan handed the list to the doctor.
The tone was full of unconcealable panic, "Doctor, I want to ask again, what is my mother's condition now?"
Seeing her confused look, the doctor pointed to the PET-CT image on the computer screen.
Patiently explained: "The patient's condition is follicular lymphoma (FL), and the response to first-line treatment is poor -"
In the other party's professional description, Zhang Yan and Chen Shuangshuang gradually understood.
If the early first-line BR immunochemotherapy regimen can be controlled, it will indeed be possible to avoid recurrence for a long time and achieve "clinical cure".
Many patients can even live like normal people.
But unfortunately, her mother, Zhou Hui, developed drug resistance during chemotherapy and was at risk of transforming into aggressive lymphoma.
It must be switched to second-line treatment immediately.
One is the R plan, which is targeted therapy.
In Zhou Hui’s case, if transformation does not occur, the progression-free survival period can exceed 3 years, and there is a chance of exceeding 5 years.
After being reimbursed by urban and rural residents’ medical insurance, the annual self-pay part is about 150,000.
The other is CAR-T cell therapy, which is currently the most advanced and effective treatment method.
By modifying the patient’s own immune cells to kill tumors, the complete remission rate is about 50%, and some patients may achieve functional cure.
But the total treatment cost is about 1.5 million.
Zhang Yan stood behind her mother, biting her lower lip tightly and pinching the hem of her clothes with both hands.
The good news is that my mother’s cancer has a complete treatment plan and hope of survival.
But the number of 1.5 million is like an insurmountable mountain, weighing her down.
Even 150,000 targeted treatments per year is a huge number for her.
R&F Yingkai Plaza, Nebula International Group (Yangcheng) Branch.
Lulu was wearing a small suit and sitting on the sofa in the reception area.
The palms of my hands were slightly sweaty, and my heart was full of forgetfulness.
She knew that she would most likely have to run away with him today.
The few interviewees who came in before include former Byte strategy employees and top students who have returned from overseas.
Everyone is excellent and confident.
Also, Nebula International Group, as the undisputed giant in the domestic advertising and media industry, is backed by the big tree of Tang Zong Entertainment.
It is said that it is already preparing to go public, which is very attractive to top talents.
I am one of the lucky few who came from a small company.
Turned on the phone and sent a concerned message to Zhang Yan’s WeChat again.
Still no reply.
From 9 a.m. until Zhang Yan went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Pharmaceutical University, the other party never responded to her messages.
Lulu vaguely sensed something was wrong, but it was inconvenient to call and ask.
At this time.
The HR lady’s voice sounded: "Zhang Lu, please come this way."
Lulu took a deep breath, put away her phone, stood up, and followed her into the glass-partitioned interview room.
After some self-introduction, the interview officially began.
The questions are professional and sharp.
The whole interview process was not long, and her performance could only be considered satisfactory.
When the interviewer finally said the standard "We will contact you later".
Lulu’s hanging heart finally died.
She knew there was no chance.
If Ermian is really satisfied, he will definitely inform you of the follow-up arrangements and even the specific time node.
She politely thanked her and followed the beautiful HR lady outside, with a trace of loss that was difficult to conceal on her face.
I just walked out of the conference room and was about to turn left.
At the end of the corridor on the left, a few people in suits and ties just walked over.
There are men and women, full of temperament, with wind in their steps.
Lulu knew one of them, HRD, who had appeared in the reception room before. He was standing respectfully aside at the moment.
Next to HRD, there is a man and a woman.
The woman is tall and sexy, and her figure is so good.
And that man is from the Tang and Song Dynasties? !
"Ah!" Lulu exclaimed, her footsteps instantly froze in place.
I blinked hard, thinking I was hallucinating.
Today, Tang Song is wearing a well-tailored custom-made suit, with a tall and slender figure.
The whole body exudes a powerful sense of oppression that cannot be ignored.
This is completely different from the gentle and kind "junior high school classmate" I saw in Zhang Yan's shabby neighborhood two days ago!
"Shh Yi Yi" The HR lady next to her was startled. She quickly reached out to block her, and lowered her voice and said nervously: "The big leaders of the head office are here. Let's wait here and let them go first."
Lulu's eyes grew wider and wider, and her heart began to beat wildly.
Tang and Song Dynasties? The leader of Nebula International Group Corporation?
Oh my God? No way?
She felt that her brain was no longer enough.
That night, they were just like ordinary friends, sitting together to eat barbecue, chatting about work and life!
Oh my God! Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a hidden boss? !
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the powerful aura is also approaching.
Just when Lulu was so nervous and at a loss, she didn’t know whether she should say hello or pretend not to know each other.
A deep gaze fell on her, and a trace of strangeness flashed across her body.
Immediately, Tang Song’s pace slowed down, and others immediately followed suit.
Ms. HR was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that she quickly bent down and shouted respectfully: "Dr. Wen, Mr. Tang—"
Tang Song stopped in front of the two of them, with a teacher-like smile on his face.
"Good morning, Lulu, why are you here?"
As he spoke gently, the surrounding eyes instantly focused on Zhang Lu.
Lulu felt a rush of blood rush to her head, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
His voice was stuttering, "I-I'm here for an interview today."
Hearing her words, Tang Song raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect such a coincidence.
But this is a good opportunity.
Zhang Yan’s personality is too introverted. If she is accompanied by an acquaintance in a new environment, she will definitely adapt better.
Thinking of this, he smiled and stretched out his hand, gently patting Lulu on the shoulder.
Encouragement: "Nebula International Group is a very good platform, come on!"
Lulu was so excited that she felt dizzy and felt like she was floating.
“Thank you for your encouragement, I will definitely try my best!”
She knew that with Tang and Song’s words, she would definitely be safe for this interview.
"Then I'll leave first, and we'll talk when we have time."
"Well, bye."
After a simple goodbye, the Tang and Song Dynasties continued to move forward.
The HR lady beside me breathed softly, and her expression became enthusiastic and eager.
"Zhang Lu, please wait a moment. I will communicate with the leader again and see if I can reply to you as soon as possible. To be honest, for talents like you, we are really afraid of being snatched away by other companies. "
Lulu suppressed her excitement and nodded: "Okay."
HR quickly returned to the interview room, and the door closed with a click.
Lulu could vaguely hear muffled, rapid conversations coming from inside.
After a while, the door was opened again.
The HR lady stood at the door with a smile and respectfully made a "please" gesture.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. You can come in. Next, let's re-discuss your salary and future career plans. "Thank you!
In the clinic.
The doctor closed the medical records and said with a serious expression: "One more thing must be made clear. Once the lymphoma recurs, it will be more aggressive. You must go through hospitalization procedures immediately and conduct a comprehensive second-line treatment evaluation."
"Okay, okay, we understand."
Zhang Yan and Chen Shuangshuang walked out of the consulting room in a daze.
In the corridor, the smell of disinfectant mixed with oppressive silence,
The group walked out of the oncology department and came to the rest area in the lobby on the second floor.
Zhou Hui looked at her two daughters in despair and felt her heart twisting. She forced herself to speak: "Ayan, you should go to work, and both of them should go back to school -."
"Mom! What do you mean?" Chen Yao interrupted with a sharp voice: "Working with me is not work? I'm still in the probation period. Today happened to be here, so let's just make this clear and save trouble later!"
Zhang Yan's lips trembled, and she turned her gaze to the middle-aged man who had been silent.
"Uncle Chen, what do you think?"
"Dad" Chen Shuangshuang cried out with a cry, full of begging.
Chen Jinlong finally raised his head, his face full of hesitation and unconcealable escape.
He and Zhou Hui came to Yangcheng to rent a house and work, and their real roots are still in their hometown in that county-level city in northern Guangdong.
It is simply impossible to sell the wedding house prepared for his son in his hometown and then borrow money to build the 1.5 million CAR-T.
His ex-wife and son also contributed money to that house, and the son is getting married soon. If this news gets out, the marriage will definitely be ruined.
But he and Zhou Hui have been married for so many years and have a daughter named Shuangshuang. To say that he has no feelings would be a lie.
Looking at Zhou Hui, who was pale beside him, and then at his little daughter, Chen Jinlong squeezed his black hands together heavily.
He said vaguely: "This matter cannot be solved in a while, otherwise"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Hui said straightforwardly: "Old Chen, we are going to "Be prepared, let's get the divorce done in the next two days." "I..." Chen Jinlong lowered his head in shame, "You also know that Bingwen is going to get married soon. How about that?" Let's hide this matter for now and wait until he gets married. "Dad! How can you hide this?!" Chen Yao said eagerly, fearing that her father would relent, "This is not a cold or a fever! Even if it is delayed to death, complications will follow. Three days in a row, which one doesn’t require anyone to take care of? ”
Chen Jinlong opened his mouth, his Adam’s apple rolled, but he couldn’t refute a word.
Zhou Hui slowly looked away from her husband, who had always chosen to escape, with a sad look in her eyes.
Her life and relationship have never been smooth.
When I was young, I met Zhang Yan’s father while working in other places. For love, I traveled thousands of miles to marry in a rural area of Yan Province. As a result, I was cheated on and abandoned.
After remarrying Chen Jinlong for the sake of living, the family has never been harmonious, and the two quarreled frequently.
But at least she had both daughters here. She always thought that if she just endured it and endured it, she would be able to live her whole life without getting divorced.
She had actually been prepared for it for a long time. Even if Chen Jinlong said he would treat her at all costs, she would not agree.
But the attitude he showed really chilled her heart.
Her only wish now is that her two daughters can live a better life in the future.
Especially - Zhang Yan.
This poor daughter is introverted and has experienced ups and downs. She really owes her a lot.
At this time.
Chen Yao looked at Zhang Yan and her tone suddenly became gentler, "Zhang Yan, look, this is your biological mother. Over the years, she has frugally sent you so much living expenses. What do you think about the current situation?"
She knew Zhang Yan's character and hoped that the other party would take the initiative to take over this mess.
However, upon hearing this, Zhou Hui stood up suddenly.
Because the movement was too fast, my body shook violently.
She grabbed Zhang Yan’s hand and pulled her behind her, staring at Chen Yao with red eyes, "Chen Yao, what do you mean?!"
Although she is usually very polite and enthusiastic towards her stepdaughter for the sake of family harmony, after all, Zhang Yan is her biological daughter and her rival.
She didn’t want to drag down Chen Jinlong’s family, and naturally she couldn’t drag down her daughter.
"I just hope to find a solution." Chen Yao dodges her eyes.
"That has nothing to do with her! I tell you, none of you can try to trick her!"
Looking at the thin back in front of her, Zhang Yan's tears flowed down, and she couldn't stop them no matter what.
This was the first time she saw her mother defending herself so strongly.
The figure in front of me overlaps with the warm and omnipotent figure from my childhood.
As long as she can remember, her father has been working outside all year round, and she grew up with her mother.
Her entire childhood was spent on her mother’s warm back and soft arms.
Until the sudden divorce in the fourth grade of elementary school,
In her heart, she had always had the deepest dependence and admiration for her mother.
Listening to Zhou Hui’s words, Chen Yao became a little angry.
The words became harsh and harsh, "How much living expenses have you secretly sent to her over the years? Save money every month! What? Now it's no longer possible for you, my biological daughter, to contribute anything? My brother and I are not your biological children, why should we cover this bottomless pit for you?"
Zhou Hui was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at her, "You don't have to do it there. You're so angry! Didn't I make money for your family?"
"That's the tuition and living expenses you earned for Chen Shuangshuang!" Chen Yao didn't give in. "My father and my mother paid for all the expenses for me and my brother? And your early chemotherapy has already cost the family 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. Do you really want to bring down our family?!"
"Yao Yao, please stop saying a few words!" Chen Jinlong finally stood up, pulled his daughter's arm, then turned to look at his wife, and was about to speak to comfort her.
Zhou Hui stared at Chen Yao and said with an unusually decisive voice: "I can't cure this disease! Anyway, living is a suffering! Don't worry, I won't drag any of you down!"
"Mom!" Zhang Yan couldn't listen anymore and stepped forward to hold her mother's hand.
Her voice was choked but very clear: "I will take care of you. I will also find a way to pay for the targeted drugs."
Zhou Hui seemed to have been stabbed, "Mom is dead! Don't you understand? I don't have a few years to live! Why waste this money!"
Zhang Yan wiped her tears and said with unprecedented stubbornness: "I have to give it a try, otherwise I will regret and blame myself for the rest of my life."
Looking at her daughter's eyes, Zhou Hui froze on the spot, tears streaming down her face, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Indescribable guilt and grief surged in my heart.
Chen Shuangshuang looked at her "sister", bit her lip and started crying.
Chen Jinlong’s face was full of shame, but in the end he just sighed heavily.
But Chen Yao seemed to have found a step.
She said, "Don't worry, even if Zhang Yan really needs to be treated, we won't let Zhang Yan pay for it alone. We will definitely express it. 3
She doesn't want to push too hard. If it really comes to a divorce lawsuit, the division of property will be complicated. This is a huge trouble.
The most ideal situation now is to divide the responsibilities and let Zhang Yan, her biological daughter, take over this heaviest "mess" naturally.
Zhang Yan nodded silently, not wanting to argue with them about these verbal promises anymore.
Chen Yao's tone returned to its usual calmness, "Dad, I'll call my brother and tell him about the situation here. Let's also discuss how much money we should pay in the future."
Chen Jinlong lowered his head, sighed for a while, then stood up and walked towards the corner.
Chen Shuangshuang gritted his teeth and trotted to follow him, holding his father's hand as if he was pleading for something.
Zhou Hui leaned weakly on the bench, her cloudy eyes closed tightly,
Zhang Yan lowered her head, thinking about her mother's illness and how to raise money.
My mother will be hospitalized next and will need a comprehensive examination. She will definitely have to accompany her throughout the entire process. She can no longer continue working.
However, I won’t be able to work for much longer today anyway, and there is a high probability that I will be the first batch of employees to be “optimized” in the company.
Of course, before that, she must get back the three-month performance bonus owed by the company, as well as the cost of the last business trip, exactly.
Fortunately, the annual fee of 150,000 yuan is not a one-time payment. As long as you can survive the initial stage, there is always hope.
Nebula International Group, in the bathroom.
Lulu looked at herself in the mirror with red cheeks and bright eyes, and squeezed her thigh hard.
A clear feeling of pain came through, and I repeatedly confirmed that this was not a dream I imagined out of reluctance after "failed" in the interview.
A huge, uncontrollable ecstasy instantly overwhelmed her!
It feels like winning a five million lottery ticket, no, it’s even more exciting than that!
Not only did he successfully enter the big factory he dreamed of, but he also found a huge backer! This is simply an "adventure" that can only be found in TV dramas!
Go to hell, you fat man! My aunt won’t serve you anymore!
Hahaha!
She took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down her racing heart. Then she suddenly remembered something and immediately took out her phone.
As soon as it was unlocked, an unread message popped up.
[Zhang Yan: "Lulu, I'm sorry, I've been busy. I just saw your message. Can you please take care of the oranges for me after get off work? I may not be able to go back tonight. Also, a few previous articles I may ask you to help me”]
Seeing this long message, Lulu’s heart skipped a beat.
She immediately realized that something big must have happened to Zhang Yan!
She has some understanding of Zhang Yan’s complicated family situation, and now her mother is ill.
Now Zhang Yan is needed to take care of her, and judging from the tone, it may not be a matter of a day or two, and she may even lose her job for this.
With Zhang Yan’s character, if she can say “please” and “trouble”, it means she is really desperate.
She didn’t hesitate at all, and while walking quickly outside, she directly dialed Zhang Yan’s mobile phone number.
The phone rang for a long time and was not connected until the system automatically hung up.
Lulu was so anxious that beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her heart began to twitch.
She originally wanted to share this great joy with her good friends as soon as possible and tell her about the Tang and Song Dynasties. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
At this moment, the familiar and gentle voice came to my ears again.
"Lulu, is the interview over?"
Lulu suddenly raised her head and saw Tang Song who had appeared in the corridor at some point.
She quickly said hello: "Mr. Tang, yes, the interview has just finished."
Noticing the anxious expression on her face, Tang Song asked from another place: "What's wrong? Have you encountered any trouble?"
Lulu hesitated for a moment, looking at the powerful yet inexplicably reassuring man in front of her, and thought of his relationship with Zhang Yan.
He said in a hurried tone: "Something happened to Zhang Yan."
The relaxed smile on Tang Song's face instantly faded, and his eyes became nervous, " What's going on?"
A burst of messy footsteps came from far away.
Chen Jinlong and the other three came back, with complicated expressions on each of their faces.
Chen Shuangshuang lowered his head and sat back down next to his mother without saying a word, his shoulders twitching as he wiped away tears.
Chen Yao came straight to Zhang Yan and looked at her condescendingly, "I just contacted my brother. It's time for him to spend money. Gifts, banquets, decorations, everything costs money. It's really hard to come up with money."
She paused, as if her words were too cold, and she was afraid of irritating the other party.
He added: "Of course, we don't care. After my brother's marriage is successfully completed, after a while, we will find a way to raise some money for you.
You are also working. It’s been almost 3 years, so I must have spent a lot of money on it.
You have to know that for your mother’s early chemotherapy, the family has spent all their savings and even owes a lot of foreign debt. ”
Zhang Yan pursed her lips tightly and did not answer Chen Yao's words.
Just bear it silently.
Her work has never been smooth. From the Imperial Capital to Yangcheng, she is always unemployed due to various problems.
Up to now, the total savings are only 17,000 yuan.
The mother’s early hospitalization expenses cost about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
She was silent for a moment and took out her mobile phone from her pocket.
Only then did I realize that there were already two missed calls on the screen.
One is from Lulu, the other is from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Because the vibration effect of her phone was very poor and she had been in a trance before, she didn’t notice it at all.
Looking at the names of "Tang and Song".
Zhang Yan’s heart seemed to be touched.
An indescribable emotion instantly surged into her heart.
Scenes of scenes flashed through her mind uncontrollably.
She has been pushed by the wave of life and moved forward passively.
At this moment, what she was most fortunate about was that she mustered up the greatest courage in her life on Friday night and wrote that letter to Tang and Song Dynasty.
Otherwise, there should be no chance in this life.
At this time.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—” The phone suddenly vibrated again.
[Director-Bai Rui]
Zhang Yan quickly stood up and walked to the corner.
Take a deep breath and press the answer button.
"Zhang Yan, what do you mean?!" As soon as the call was connected, Bai Rui's angry voice came over, "Today is Monday! You didn't take the initiative to call me to communicate with me when you asked for leave, and just stopped coming to work. You are absent from work, do you know?!"
"I" Zhang Yan's voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness, "Brother Bai, I'm sorry. I'm in the hospital now, and my mother is sick."
Bai Rui's voice paused, "I don't care whether what you said is true or not. I'll call you. I just want to inform you that since you are no longer focused on work, you should take the initiative to resign as soon as possible. Hand over the work in the past two days and don’t cause trouble for me.” Zhang Yan’s hand held the phone slightly harder and her breathing became a little faster.
Shucheng Technology is the company where she has stayed the longest since graduation, for more than a year.
This was also the reason why she struggled to gain a foothold in the strange city of Yangcheng.
Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, when the word "resignation" was really said so easily,
She still felt an uncontrollable panic.
She looked back at her mother who was sitting in the corner and needed her to rely on.
All timidity and retreat were replaced by a huge pressure.
She put aside her reserve and self-esteem and pleaded Zhixin: "Brother Bai, can you let the company lay me off? I only need the company to compensate me for one month's salary."
"Haha." Bai Rui interrupted directly: "So you have already found your next home, right? Got the offer today? No wonder you dared to be so tough last Friday! Don't even think about the compensation, it's impossible."
"I didn't." Zhang Yan wanted to explain, but in the end she gritted her teeth, gave up the useless excuse, and her voice became firm, "Brother Bai , the three-month performance bonus that the company owes me, as well as the previous business trip expenses, must be paid to me in full when I leave."
Bai Rui was silent for a moment, and his tone became extremely perfunctory: "Let's talk about this later. The company is currently reviewing the finances, and it cannot be approved for the time being. Not only you, everyone's performance has not been paid. You can go through the resignation process first."
"No, you must give me the money." Zhang Yan's tone was more serious than ever.
She has worked hard overtime in the past three months and written two popular articles. Together with other scattered achievements, the bonus written on the assessment form should be more than 10,000 yuan.
In addition to the business trip expenses that have been suppressed and not reported, the total is nearly 20,000.
Although the company did have problems recently and the money has not been received, it is what she deserves.
As long as I can get this money, my mother’s early hospitalization deposit and preliminary examination fees will be covered.
For her who is stuck in the quagmire and looking around at a loss, this is more than just a sum of money.
It is also the only hope she can grasp at the moment.
Bai Rui seemed to be irritated by her tough attitude and said loudly: "Zhang Yan, what is your attitude?! I'm not saying I won't give it to you, I'm just telling you to postpone it for a while!"
"Then I'll apply for labor arbitration!"
"Okay!" Bai Rui laughed angrily, "Then go ahead! I'll wait!"
The phone was hung up heavily.
Listening to the "beep beep" busy tone coming from the receiver, Zhang Yan's arm holding the phone dropped weakly.
Her mind was blank, but she thought of many things.
The hospitalization deposit, targeted drugs, rent, and the emotions that Orange had been suppressing suddenly burst at this moment.
The huge confusion and fear swallowed her up instantly.
She stood blankly in the corner of the first floor hall where people were coming and going, her whole body cold.
All the sounds came to her like a tide, but they seemed far away from her,
"Sister-sister."
A slightly unfamiliar and timid cry sounded from my ears.
She slowly turned around and saw Chen Shuangshuang, who had stood beside her at some point.
Chen Shuangshuang’s eyes were red. She pointed to the mobile phone in Zhang Yan’s hand and whispered, “Your mobile phone has been ringing.”
Zhang Yan slowly lowered her head and looked at the screen of her mobile phone.
The name of [Tang and Song Dynasties] flashed.
Like a scorching flame, it was so hot that she could hardly hold the phone.
She quickly came to her senses, her nerves tense.
She didn’t dare to answer, didn’t dare to let him hear her voice at the moment, didn’t even dare to have any interaction with him.
The phone stopped ringing, but within two or three seconds, it rang again stubbornly.
The name [Tang and Song] jumped out again,
"Bang bang bang one by one"
Zhang Yan's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, as if it was about to break through her chest. Finally, her fingers uncontrollably opened the green answer button.
Tang Song’s anxious voice came from the receiver: "Zhang Yan? Why don’t you answer the phone? Are you okay now?"
"I'm fine." Zhang Yan bit her lips tightly and used all her strength to squeeze out these words.
He quickly heard the abnormality in her voice, and Tang Song asked directly: "Where are you at the First Affiliated Hospital of Pharmaceutical University?"
"I...I-"
"Tell me Me!"
"Outpatient building, second floor - lobby."
"Wait for me there, don't move, and don't hang up the phone!"
The sound of rapid breathing and wind came from the receiver.
Zhang Yan remained in the posture of answering the phone, her whole body panicked.
Is he coming over? How did he know I was here? !
A strong desire to escape instantly occupied her entire mind.
At this time.
Chen Yao came to her and said impatiently: "Zhang Yan, it's almost noon now, don't stay here all the time. If you want to go through the hospitalization procedures, do it as soon as possible. I have to go back to the company to deal with urgent matters in the afternoon, okay? So much time is wasted here!"
Chen Jinlong also stood up and walked over, saying vaguely: "I will go back later and pack up your mother's daily necessities."
Zhou Hui coughed twice, looked at her daughter's pale face, and whispered, "Ayan, why don't we—or let's go back first—"
Their voices were like a huge net, fixing Zhang Yan in place.
The sound of wind in the receiver continues.
Immediately afterwards, the clear and powerful voice of Tang Song sounded again: "There are a lot of people, I can't see where you are. Zhang Yan, raise your hands 1"
Before Zhang Yan's brain could react, her body had already made the most instinctive action.
“I see you.”
“Zhang Yan! This way!”
The last four words came from outside the receiver.
Zhang Yan turned around suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound.
In the direction of the stairs, in the surging crowd.
He was wearing a well-tailored dark suit. He was tall and tall, and his hair was slightly messy, but his temperament was more and more prominent.
His expression was filled with anxiety that had not faded away. With his right hand also raised, he walked through the queue of people, passed through the anxious family members of the patients, and passed through the surprised eyes.
Walking towards her.
All the people and noise around him automatically turned into a blurry and faded background the moment he appeared.
His figure is getting closer and closer, and becoming clearer and clearer.
Zhang Yan could clearly hear her heartbeat beating so violently that it was almost out of control.
Finally, he stopped in front of her.
"Are you okay? Zhang Yan!"
A slender, warm hand tightly held her raised hand.
The scalding temperature continued to flow through the clasped palms of the two people, instantly dispelling the coldness all over her body.
"Tang and Song Dynasties." Zhang Yan subconsciously shouted his name, her eyes filled with joy.
Chen Yao, who was directly opposite her, opened her mouth in shock, looking at this outrageous boy who suddenly appeared, and was a little unable to react.
Zhou Hui’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at this strange man holding her daughter’s hand.
Chen Shuangshuang’s red and swollen eyes suddenly lit up from crying.
"I heard from Lulu that your mother is sick and hospitalized? Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"
As Tang Song spoke, his eyes looked at the people around him, and soon fell on a pale middle-aged woman.
From her eyebrows, you can vaguely see the shadow of Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan looked at Tang Song, her lips trembling and tears filling her eyes.
Chen Shuangshuang on the side mustered up the courage and took a step forward. Her voice had a strong nasal sound and a crying tone, "Mom, she is sick, it's cancer."
Then, she explained in detail what she had just heard.
She is a smart and precocious person. When she sees the Tang and Song Dynasty’s dressing style, she knows that it is unusual.
Coupled with the relationship between the other party and her sister, it may be the only life-saving straw.
Tang Song’s eyes flashed and his mind was shaken.
He knew Zhang Yan’s life experience, so he was so worried when he heard that her mother was hospitalized and didn’t answer the phone.
I didn’t expect it to be cancer!
Fortunately, lymphoma is a hematological malignant tumor, and this type of tumor can be treated with CAR-T cell therapy.
This revolutionary technology, known as "the light of hope for mankind to defeat cancer," is a "special attack weapon" against this type of blood cancer.
The reason why he knows this so well is because Guyu Biological, a star company under Smile Holdings, is the manufacturer of the "Kaintai" injection, which has the best effect and the most eye-catching clinical data among the five CAR-T drugs currently approved for marketing in China.
Just a few days ago, when Rongliu Capital strategically invested in Guyu Biotech, he heard Shen Yuyan report a detailed report on the latest phase three clinical data of "Kantai".
Feel Zhang Yan’s slight trembling in her hands and heart.
Tang Song took a deep breath, turned to look in the direction of Zhou Hui, and introduced himself: "Hello aunt, I am Zhang Yan's friend, Tang Song."
Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded and said: "Hello, hello."
"Auntie, don't worry." Tang Song said warmly: "This disease is okay. For treatment, medicine is very advanced now. The most important thing for you is to calm down and cooperate with the doctor." As he said, he lowered his head and shook Zhang Yan's hand, comforting him: "Don't be afraid. I have learned that for this kind of lymphoma, there is now a type of cell therapy called CAR-T, which has a very high cure rate."
Chen Yao, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but said: "CAR-T therapy costs 1.5 million, it is more realistic for us to be hospitalized first and perform targeted therapy."
Because of the existence of Tang Song, her tone softened a lot.
But the main purpose is to make things happen as soon as possible and let Zhang Yan take responsibility.
Zhang Yan pursed her lips and whispered: "I, I will go through the hospitalization procedures now."
Although she still felt embarrassed and inferior in her heart, his appearance gave her a sense of dependence when she was most helpless.
Because of family changes and being dependent on others, she has been insecure since she was a child and has always lived in wandering, never daring to really rely on someone.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Tang Song pulled her hand.
He took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed a number.
"Hi, Fei Zhao."
"Help me check immediately which hospital is the most authoritative in lymphoma treatment in Yangcheng."
The other end of the phone seemed to give a quick answer.
"Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Hospital? Okay, that's it."
Tang Song turned his head, looked at Zhou Hui with gentle eyes, and asked: "Auntie, can you tell me your full name?"
"—Zhou Hui."
Tang Song continued on the phone: "Reserve a single special-needs ward for me at Sun Yat-sen University Affiliated Cancer Hospital. The patient's name is Zhou Hui. In addition, I need an emergency consultation with a team of hematology and tumor experts in the hospital."
< br>"Yes, do it immediately! I will take people there now."
Listening to his conversation, several people around him were startled and looked at him in shock with absurd eyes.
"Special needs ward", "expert team", "emergency consultation"
Any of these are the privileges of the "big shot" that they would not even dare to think about.
The key is that Tang and Song did not show off or show off, but spoke out these arrangements calmly and seriously.
It had a major impact on their cognition.
Zhang Yan’s breathing became rapid, and that dreamlike feeling came to her again.
After this reunion, the feeling Tang and Song brought to her was always so unreal.
Whether it was his sudden appearance in the dim downstairs, filling all her fantasies with a gentle weekend.
It was still at this moment, at her most desperate and helpless moment, that everything was arranged for her like a magic weapon descending from the sky.
The corners of Chen Yao's eyes twitched violently, feeling that the scene in front of her looked so much like filming a TV series.
“Are you telling the truth?”
Chen Shuangshuang’s incredible voice broke the silence, and a strong brilliance burst out in his eyes.
"Of course." Tang Song nodded, his gaze fell on Zhang Yan again, becoming much softer, "Zhang Yan, everything is about aunt's health. Let's go, let's go to the hospital first. Don't worry, it's fine."
Zhang Yan bit her lip and nodded gently.
She is not a fool. Now that her mother is suffering from cancer, if she can get the best medical treatment, that is more important than anything else.
Immediately, Zhang Yan stepped forward and held her mother's hand.
And Chen Jinlong and others followed them subconsciously, with different expressions.
A group of people formed a strange team, walked through the noisy hospital corridor, went downstairs, and walked out of the hospital gate.
Tang Song said directly: "My car can't accommodate so many people. I will take Zhang Yan and aunt there first. You guys take a taxi and follow.
We will meet at the door of the hospital."
After saying that, he walked to the roadside.
Immediately afterwards, a Rolls-Royce parked not far away slowly drove over and stopped in front of everyone.
The driver wearing a black suit and white gloves quickly got out of the driving seat, walked quickly to the back seat, and opened the door respectfully.
In an instant, both Zhang Yan, who was absent-minded, and Zhou Hui and Chen Shuangshuang were completely stunned on the spot.
Chen Jinlong’s weather-beaten face flashed with determination and awe, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
Chen Yao’s eyelids trembled violently, and her expression became extremely exciting.
The exclusive driver of Rolls-Royce Phantom, her throat rolled, and her dull face turned pale.
It felt like my brain had been hit hard.
Immediately afterwards, endless regret surged into my heart.
At this point, she will naturally no longer doubt what Tang Song said on the phone just now.
Combined with the pomp he showed at this time,
This is a real "big shot".
And such a person is actually Zhang Yan’s friend. It seems that the relationship is extraordinary!
If they had not completely broken up with Zhang Yan and her daughter before,
Maybe they could seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, climb high and change the fate of the family.
————
The heavy car door was gently closed, completely cutting off all the noise, chaos and eyes from the outside world.
Zhang Yan and Zhou Hui sank into the soft leather seats in the back row in a daze.
The quiet and high-end interior enveloped them, and the air was filled with a clean, expensive mixed aroma of leather and wood.
Zhang Yan sat there, her eyes a little out of focus.
Outside the car window, she is familiar with the struggling Yangcheng city.
Inside the car window is a strange and unreachable world.
Her eyes looked towards Tang and Song Dynasties.
He was sitting in the wide passenger seat, leaning sideways and answering the phone in a low voice.
Under the flowing light and shadow outside the window, the profile of the face looks deep and focused.
The boundary between reality and dreams has become blurry again.
