Chapter 551 Medical Ethics And Generosity
There was a big difference between having a goal and not having one.
An island would be able to provide Ye Lingchen with a huge foundation. To design an island was a dream that everyone would have. When achieving such a dream was within one’s reach, it was only natural to go all out realizing it.
Even the employees were all looking forward to it. Moreover, a lot of his beautiful female friends were there. That was just like building their own home.
They wished to pitch in and move over to the island as soon as possible. The thought filled them with great motivation and yearning.
Ye Lingchen was similarly filled with motivation. That night, he designed a few styles of cosmetics and planned to brand it under Y Cosmetics to promote his own products. That was something he had thought of long ago.
Now that his Chemistry skill was maxed out, it was not difficult for him to create his own cosmetic products. What remained was just ma.s.s production.
The next day…
Early in the morning, Zhang Yunxi went to the Y Cosmetics store, once again leaving Dong Miaomiao behind to stare at the ceiling in boredom.
Noticing Ye Lingchen, Dong Miaomiao’s eyes twitched. She bit her lip, then said, “Director Ye, when can we start the medicine production?”
She knew that Ye Lingchen had purchased an island. However, they just discussed the day before that it would require a large sum to build it up. Even if they had the money, the construction process was not something that could be done in a short time. She did not want to continue waiting like that.
“No need to rush, nor should we.”
“Oh,” Dong Miaomiao grunted softly, obviously unhappy with it. She continued to stare at the ceiling and muttered, “There’s nothing to be done since I’m staying under someone else’s roof.”
Ye Lingchen noticed her grumbling and could not resist laughing. ‘This girl…’
After some consideration, he stated, “Since there’s nothing much to do recently, why don’t you come along with me to get some raw materials?”
“Material gathering?” Dong Miaomiao was surprised. Her face then lit up excitedly, suddenly filled with energy. “Are we looking for medicinal herbs?”
Collecting medicinal herbs was the first step in medicine formulation.
Ye Lingchen shook his head and replied, “Follow along if you want to go.”
Dong Miaomiao frowned, then followed along after a huff.
Capital Hospital.
A doctor was waiting at the front gate. When he saw Ye Lingchen, he quickly led him to the hospital’s office.
“Grandmaster Ye!”
Grandmaster Jiang and the others were waiting for him. The moment they saw Ye Lingchen, they stood up to greet him excitedly.
“Grandmaster Jiang, Grandmaster Yu, Grandmaster Chen…”
At first, Dong Miaomiao was still slightly confused. When she saw the people gathered there, her jaw dropped and she had to cover it up. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She knew all the people there. She did not just know them, she actually did a lot of research on them.
That was because these people were the doctors in Capital City and authorities in their field. If one could establish a good rapport with this group of people, that was equivalent to having a good connection with the hospital authority. They would not need to worry about the sales of the medicine they produced.
However, even if her father were alive, it was almost impossible for him to meet these people in person, much less her.
Now that she saw the att.i.tude these people showed Ye Lingchen, she felt that her brainpower was insufficient to process the situation. She could only stand at a corner in a daze. Ye Lingchen surprised her in way too many things.
By the time she recovered, her face was flushed from the excitement. With this connection, the growth of their pharmaceutical company would be guaranteed.
“Grandmaster Ye, you’re here for…” Grandmaster Jiang’s face was red as he stared at Lingchen, beaming. Even his voice was trembling slightly.
The others were similar, excited beyond words.
When Ye Lingchen contacted them, he hinted that he was willing to treat some patients.
What did that mean? It meant that they could observe and learn. To them, who had dedicated their lives to medicine, it was of utmost importance.
“Let’s use that same room as before. I’ll need a set of scrubs and a mask,” Ye Lingchen stated. He then added, “If there are any complicated disease or terminal cases, make them the priority!”
That confidence!
Dong Miaomiao’s eyes popped wide open. She was stunned by Ye Lingchen’s confidence.
At the same time, she was shocked to see these prominent doctors bowing to Ye Lingchen as a disciple would, then looking at him with sincerity in their eyes, hoping to have Ye Lingchen let them a.s.sist him.
No wonder he had the confidence to formulate medicine. He was a great doctor to begin with!
Dong Miaomiao’s heart raced. The look in her eyes kept changing between one of shock, grat.i.tude, excitement, and admiration. Her stunning eyes were glazed over.
‘Daddy, just you wait. Your daughter will grow Thousandsprout Pharmaceuticals to great renown this time!’
“Grandmaster Ye, the consultation fee…” Grandmaster Jiang suddenly asked awkwardly.
In their eyes, Ye Lingchen’s consultation would be at least a million or more. After all, the cases he was treating were all terminal. Would it still be considered expensive when one exchanged money for life?”
“For the consultation fee…” Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose, “no obligations. Just let the patient pay however much they are willing to.”
Grandmaster Jiang and the others were taken aback, then overwhelmed by admiration. “Grandmaster Ye is truly generous!”
That was the true medical ethics!
During the previous Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu outbreak, Ye Lingchen had the chance to make a killing, yet he gave it up without hesitation so that the patients could obtain the medications at cost price, earning nothing in return!
This time, he was just as generous, focusing on saving lives!
When compared to Ye Lingchen, their hearts felt wracked with guilt, filled with shame.
“Aren’t you lacking money recently?” Dong Miaomiao whispered her question.
“This is not how I earn my money.” Ye Lingchen shrugged. “I’m here to gather materials. I’ll help out as much as I can.”
“Gather materials?”
“In sickness, we would focus on using the right medicine. I’m here to help the patients cure their illness to better understand these difficult illnesses. From there, I’ll formulate a suitable cure and then send it into production,” Ye Lingchen replied patiently.
‘This is preparation…for a new medicine!’
Dong Miaomiao looked at Ye Lingchen with a bright glow in her eyes. Although this person loved to brag occasionally, he was really convincing when it comes to critical issues.
‘Wait a minute…is his coming to treat illnesses also with the intention to boast?’
“How would we price these medicines in the future?” Dong Miaomiao asked out of curiosity.
People would pay exorbitant prices for the medicine that saved lives. Since ancient times, how many people had emptied their coffers to treat their illnesses?!
Ye Lingchen’s gaze seemed to retreat into deep thought. “We’ll try to set the price for a life-saving medicine as low as possible. It doesn’t matter if we earn less. Medicine for disease treatment will go according to the market price. As for those unnecessary ones, set a high price!”
Supplements would be considered as one of the unnecessary medicines. Some examples would be vitamins, immune boosters, anti-aging medicine, and the likes. Those are sought after by the affluent.
“Understood.” Dong Miaomiao nodded and then smiled. “I just realize that I’m growing more interested in you…”
