"You guy, you didn't even tell us when you went out. Fortunately, the military commander told you to call you first that day, otherwise we would have called you but you weren't there, and others would have misunderstood that you look down on people."

After lunch on Sunday, Li Tang called Ping An and the others, and sauntered to the teahouse with Little Sanyue, who had just woken up. As soon as he walked in, Ping An punched his shoulder and hit him again. He picked up the child smoothly.

"Come on, come on, March, let your godfather hold you, and don't want him anymore."

"How many are they?" Handing the child to Ping An, Li Tang turned his head and looked at the teahouse hall.

"Come right over and make some tea yourself."

The waiters in the teahouse are still several young and beautiful girls. The person in charge who was almost scared to death has been replaced. The current person in charge is a middle-aged woman in her thirties who is also a Qinling Construction Engineer. I work in the public relations department. I have a very good figure and temperament. I treat people generously and decently. I don't have that strong aura of being aloof, which makes me feel very comfortable.

"Hello, Director Li!"

Seeing Li Tang walking to the service desk to make tea, Tan Yajun took out his special tea cup from the cabinet under the service desk and stepped aside.

"It's okay to talk to you, manager." Li Tang smiled and nodded, taking out a box from the cabinet behind the service desk.

"Lao San, when will the cars you asked Qin Qi Auto to help import come back?"

"At the end of the month, what's wrong? Are you in a hurry to use the car?"

"That's not true. I'm just asking."

Qinling Construction ordered 20 Ford full-size SUVs at one time through Qinqi Auto, which is quite impressive. The main reason is that this car is much more convenient to get to the construction site than a small car, and it is very classy to drive out.

After pouring the water, Li Tang took the tea cup and walked to a block in the hall to sit down. Ping An also followed with his child in his arms.

"Clang, clang, clang... clang, clang, clang..."

Just as we sat down here, there was a road roller with a big roller in front of it on the road outside. It happened to drive slowly in front of the teahouse. Hearing this sound, Xiao Sanyue, who was being held by Ma Pingan, became excited at once. His head was spinning and he was looking back and forth, his little mouth was screaming and he wanted to go out and take a look.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, your godfather will take you to see him."

Looking at his anxious son in Ping An's arms, Li Tang smiled and shook his head. In his memory, when his son in his previous life could not walk, he would hear the churning sound of a walking tractor driving by. In this way, not only do you have to watch, but your little hands also follow the chucking sound bit by bit.

Also, I like to see the oldest steam locomotive in action.

That is to say, there were relatively few types of toys on the market at that time, otherwise he would probably have a pile of various construction vehicle models at home.

Outside, Qiao Mu and the others also came over. When they saw Ping An standing on the side of the road with her child in her arms, they all moved closer. They must have completely lost sight of the road roller. Only then did a few people walk in. Their wives The son also came.

"Third brother, where is your Huihui?"

Among the four women, Ma Ping'an's daughter-in-law is the only one. She and Li Tang grew up together, so they can be more casual when they meet. Every time they call him San Zi or Lao San, the other three are called by their first names, oh. No, Tian Jun’s daughter-in-law Chen Yali calls him third brother every time because she has known her since she was a child.

"I'll be here soon. Did you arrange to go to the city for a stroll?"

"Yeah, why, you want to go too?"

"I'm not going." Li Tang quickly shook his head.

"Do you want us to help you take the child away?" Yang Juan approached her man and touched Xiao Sanyue's face from behind.

"In March, let's go out and play with your godmother."

"Goodbye, you can't move around with him. He's just full, and he has to play for a while before going to bed. He recognizes someone while sleeping outside, and Huihui can't figure it out."

"Look at the third child, look at you again. Why didn't your son recognize you when he was young?" Yang Juan raised her hand and touched her man's back.

"Ping An was so busy that he hit the back of his head. He didn't have time to look after the baby at home."

Seeing that Xiao Sanyue, who was being held by Ma Pingan, was already rubbing his eyes, Li Tang stood up and clapped his hands twice as he spoke.

"Come to Ping An and give me the child. It's time to go to bed. If you hold him again, it will cause trouble."

Seeing her father clapping his hands, Xiao Sanyue immediately raised his arms high and started to exert strength.

As soon as Li Tang took him over, his little head rested on his shoulder and his eyes closed.

"Sleeping so quickly?"

Peng Xiaojie, who happened to be standing here and could see Xiao Sanyue's eyes, exclaimed in surprise.

"Keep your voice down, don't scare the child." Xue Manhua said hurriedly.

"It's okay. My son can't wake up even if there's thunder right now. My son falls asleep the fastest in his father's arms. If anyone among me, my parents-in-law, or my parents can coax him to sleep, then at least he can't wake up. I have to moan for ten minutes before I want to sleep."

Just at this time, Song Xiaohui walked in and heard Peng Xiaojie's words, and said with annoyance.

"Hahaha, you are such a failure as a mother."

"No way, the smell of medicine on Third Brother's body attracts children. You see, there are a few children who don't like to be held by him. Anyway, I have never seen him."

"What Yali said is true, but I'm in the hospital every day, so I don't understand."

This question has actually puzzled everyone for a long time, and it is often brought up for discussion.

Song Xiaohui walked to her husband and touched her son's little face, then turned around and called the sisters to leave.

There were five women in two cars, and Qiaomu also arranged for three female security guards to drive a black Ford Mondeo to follow them. After driving out of the backyard, the low roar of the engine, coupled with the car's particularly eye-catching appearance, Yes, he suddenly became the most handsome boy in the whole street.

The remaining five men and a little boy who was already asleep watched the car drive away before returning to the teahouse.

"Third child, do you need to find something to cover the child?"

Seeing Li Tang put the child on the soft seat, Qiao Mu asked.

"No, just cover me with my coat." As he said this, he took off his coat and covered the child with a shirt underneath.

The temperature was quite high in early September, so that was totally fine.

"Mu Mu, how is the construction of the new company's factory?"

"We are just building infrastructure now. As for the production workshop, I heard the foreign designer said it is very troublesome and the requirements are very high. Later they will send some people over to provide guidance. These foreigners are unwilling to work overtime, so they only do a few jobs every day. Hours, the progress of the project is slow, it can annoy people to death."

"Take your time, we don't understand those things. Have we already negotiated with the Provincial University and Xijun Electronics?"

"Of course, they want it. They can have the most advanced equipment for them to study without spending a penny. Of course they are happy."

"New companies also need a large number of talents in this field. Cooperation is a win-win situation."

"By the way, I thought about the movie you were talking about last night. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I saw the deputy director or not. That movie didn't cost much, so I just voted for it. But there is a problem here. You must Notice."

"what?"

"That means no matter how many film studios there are in the provincial capital, they have to invest in it, and they will have to use their banner in the future. Without them, even if this movie is made, there will be no way to distribute it."

"The question you mentioned was also raised by Deputy Director Duan. Their film studio will invest in it by leasing equipment, including film machines, film, lighting, costumes, and makeup. Kind of a mess.

And even if we plan to invest, we can only borrow the name of their film studio, because private investment is not allowed in this thing now. "

As he spoke, Du Chengdong took out a cigarette from his pocket and gestured. Several people stood up and walked outside the barrier to light cigarettes. However, everyone's eyes were still on the child. The little guy could turn over now and was probably sleeping. Then I tossed it again, and the soft seat was relatively narrow, so it might fall to the ground.

"In this case, I'll vote if I need to. It doesn't matter whether I see the deputy director or not. It's really not a big deal. To be honest, I believe that people in the provincial capital film studio don't dare to think of tricking you. "

What Li Tang said is right. Qiao Mu and the four of them are not ordinary businessmen. They are all outstanding entrepreneurs in the province and are also members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Not to mention that Qinling Construction Engineering's current projects have begun to spread all over the country. Just the tens of billions His investment was in the high-tech zone. As long as the leaders of the film studio were not drunk too much, they would not dare to mess around, let alone with him standing behind them.

In fact, after Du Chengdong had another chat with Deputy Director Duan that day, Qiao Mu and the others had the same plan. The total investment in this movie was only one million, and no one really paid attention to this small amount of money. inside.

Just like what Li Tang said that day, any car they bought could be cast in several movies. Who cares about that?

"Okay, since you said so, we will go to him next week to discuss the detailed investment contract."

"Well, you can ask around later to see if it is possible to register a film and television production company, or if there are any additional conditions, or to re-establish a company specializing in investment. Don't take all accounts from this company, which is beyond the scope of the business. It will be difficult for the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Taxation Bureau to operate.”

"Don't worry, just let us follow you. We don't dare to do anything illegal now."

"If you can make money openly and openly, why do you do things that violate laws and regulations? Do you still think you earn too little?"

“Who can have too much money?”

"Then just wait. There will be another opportunity to grab money in the foreign exchange market like last time in a few years, but this time it is impossible to grab it like last time. What, you still want to make a profit? "

!!!

Who wouldn't miss the chance to make money openly? Those four heads were nodding up and down like worms.

In fact, Li Tang had almost forgotten that opportunity four years later. He was not engaged in this field in his previous life, so he would not remember it so clearly.

The reason why he remembered it was because when he was cleaning up the study this morning, he saw a paper that his wife was writing during this period predicting the Asian economic crisis that is likely to break out. This made him think of it.

Although he doesn't know how to operate the foreign exchange market, he knows which currencies will be attacked by international speculators and depreciate crazily. If the time comes, he can buy some in advance. As long as he is not greedy, he will definitely make a lot of money.

"Don't worry, it's still early. I will definitely notify you in advance when I get the chance."

He was answered by four fists pounding his shoulder socket in turn.

The five of them chatted in the teahouse until about five o'clock in the afternoon. The women came back from a stroll in the city, and then they went back to their homes to find their mothers.

……

That night, Li Tang unexpectedly received a call at home from Craig Emerson, whom he had not had much contact with for some time.

"Hey, hello Craig, I didn't expect to receive your call. I remember you said you would be busy in Europe for the second half of this year."

"Hello Li, I am indeed still in Europe. I am calling you this time because of someone else's request."

"Entrusted by someone? Okay, what's the matter?"

"I want to consult you. There is a disease that I don't know if you can cure."

"What disease?"

"Motor Neurone Disease, or MND for short" "What disease?" When he heard the name, Li Tang's eyes showed a look of confusion. He had never heard of this disease, but it sounded like it was related to motor nerves.

"Uh...it's also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS for short."

???

He was sure he had never heard of these two names. It was not that he was not familiar with the names of diseases in Western medicine, but that many diseases had different names in China and abroad.

Muscle atrophy, though?

"Craig, I'm sorry, the name of this disease may be different in our country than in the West. Can you describe the symptoms to me?"

"Of course, to put it simply, the symptoms are relatively mild in the early stages of the disease, just some weakness, easy fatigue, and muscle twitching. Gradually, it will develop into systemic muscle atrophy, difficulty swallowing, inability to speak, and eventually respiratory failure. "

Spinal muscular atrophy?

No, no, it's definitely not. If it was this disease, he would definitely tell him directly. He has a research and development project for this disease, and Craig knows it.

So what else...huh?

"Craig, you mean ALS?"

"If it's ALS you're talking about, do you have any way to treat it?"

"It's hard to say. I haven't seen this kind of patient before. You have to let me see the patient first."

"Li, I can contact someone to send you a few patients with motor neurone disease. All the expenses will be borne by us. No matter how much it costs, as an old friend, I ask you to take this disease seriously. "

Hearing this, Li Tang raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he saw Craig so serious.

"Craig, you can rest assured that I will not take any illness lightly."

"Li, I also hope that if possible, you can also establish a project for this disease."

Li Tang didn't dare to agree to this casually. After all, he didn't even know what the disease was, and he didn't know whether it was ALS.

The reason why I remember the name ALS is because of the two very famous patients who suffered from this disease in the previous life. One was a famous foreign scientist, and the other was a retired executive of a famous domestic private company.

"Craig, I don't dare to agree to this casually."

"Li, if possible, I am personally willing to provide 100 million US dollars to support your research and development of this drug, free of charge."

!!!

I rub!

Li Tang almost cursed. Could this guy have this disease? Otherwise, why would you make such a huge investment?

There is a huge difference between an individual's 100 million and a company's 100 million, not to mention that it is free support.

But no matter what it was, he couldn't just agree to it casually.

He is not a person who is blind to money, and he will not easily promise anything just because he has more money and less money.

"Craig, this is not a matter of money. Even if I want to develop a specific drug for this disease, I have to deal with patients. Now I don't even know whether I can cure this disease.

In addition...I found that you are very nervous about this disease, you don't want to tell me..."

"No, no, no, Li, don't get me wrong. I'm very healthy. I've been disease-free since I met you. You are a very important person to me. I was just diagnosed with this disease."

Craig's voice was very low, and it could be heard that he was in a bad mood.

Li Tang pondered for a while and said: "Craig, I can't promise you anything now, but didn't you say that you would send someone to send a few patients over? I can guarantee that you will take it seriously. If possible, I will also think about it." There are ways to develop specific medicines.”

"Thank you, Lee!"

"You are welcome!"

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Li Tang sat there and thought for a while. Regardless of whether the disease Craig just mentioned was ALS or not, he should have someone collect information on ALS tomorrow.

He half-believed what Craig said just now. Whether he was sick or not, he couldn't tell now.

The medicine he made to improve physical fitness is not a magic medicine that is immune to all diseases. You will still get some diseases that you should get. Otherwise, the superiors would not allow it to be exported at will.

If Craig really has it, then he really has to think of a way to get it cured. After working with this guy for so many years, the two of them have become very accustomed to each other. If it were to be another person, they would not be familiar with each other. I don’t know how many years it will take, but delaying the construction of the new company will be a real loss.

Just as he was thinking, the study door was gently pushed open a crack, and Xiao Sanyue's giggle immediately slipped in through the crack in the door.

"Oh, you guy, you told me we were going to scare dad, but you're still laughing non-stop before you see anyone."

Seeing that she couldn't hide anymore, Song Xiaohui opened the door and walked in. She even poked Sanyue's little face with her finger, looking like she hated iron.

"Hahahaha...ahhh..."

A child's smile is definitely the most contagious smile. When he saw his wife and children coming in, Li Tang put aside what he was thinking about, stood up, smiled and clapped his hands, and took the gift from his wife who had already raised his two little arms. March.

"Come, daddy, hug me."

"I'm not bothering you, hubby?"

"No, the call has been completed."

"What's wrong Craig?"

"You want me to study a very rare and difficult-to-treat disease. I kind of doubted whether he had the disease, but he denied it."

"It's rare to hear the word "refractory" from your mouth. I thought these two words were not in your dictionary." Song Xiaohui sat on the desk and raised her eyebrows teasingly. Speaking of.

"Are you kidding me?" Li Tang was teased by his wife and felt dumbfounded.

“There are so many difficult-to-treat diseases in the world. No matter how powerful I am, I can’t possibly cure every disease. Just like the spinal muscular atrophy we just established, I still dare not say that this disease can be cured 100% of the time. .”

"calm down"

Song Xiaohui patted her man's shoulder grandly: "I believe you, nothing can trouble you, right, March, dad is the most powerful, isn't he?"

"Ah...ah..."

"Look, I was right, and my son agrees."

"Hehehe..." Holding his son in his left hand, Li Tang stretched out his right hand to hold his wife's head, and kissed her.

"Okay, I'll try my best to overcome all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases."

"That's right, my husband is the best! MUA..."

Standing on tiptoes, Song Xiaohui kissed back.

"You go and give your son a bath, and I'll revise my paper again."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work, son. Say goodbye to mom and let's take a shower."

"what……"

……

In the living room, Father Li and Mother Li are watching TV. What is playing is a very classic TV series, I Love My Family.

It may also be because there are relatively few entertainment projects in this era. Li Tang feels that the quality of TV series these days is really surprisingly good.

Especially this year, there are one good TV series after another, such as I Love My Family, a joke about Qianlong, and the more classic The Legend of the White Snake, etc. There is no need to worry about not having anything to watch while watching TV.

But since when did the TV at home become more like a decoration?

It seems that since the popularity of smartphones and the rise of short videos, coupled with the flood of TV series that are crudely produced and make the audience look like fools, people have gradually lost interest in watching TV.

After finally releasing a TV series that was somewhat watchable, the Internet was immediately flooded with publicity and praise, and then there were some tweets bought by stakeholders. Others didn’t know, but Li Tang was originally interested in watching it, but as a result If you are pushed too much, you will be bored and not in the mood to watch.

In particular, there are a few actors who are so arrogant that they are so arrogant that people who watch them are almost sick with embarrassment.

After chatting with his parents for a while, Li Tang carried the child into the bathroom to give him a bath.

This little guy has loved playing with water since he was a child. He is very happy every time he is given a bath. He keeps slapping the water in the basin. After washing, he especially likes to writhe on the bed with his bare buttocks.

Now that he is older, if Li Tang is not at home, Song Xiaohui will never give her son a bath, otherwise she will be soaked after washing the baby.

It was like this again today, giggling and playing, so lively.

"Lao San"

"Ah, Dad, what's wrong?"

After taking a shower, he came out wrapped in a bath towel, and Dad Li followed him to the bedroom door.

"Your Uncle Qiao has something to ask you tomorrow. He said he would call your office at about ten o'clock. Please pay attention then."

Ok?

Li Tang, who was wiping Yue Yue's body, was slightly startled when he heard this and turned to look at the old man.

"Dad, what does Uncle Qiao want from me?"

"I didn't ask what the specific matter was, but it was official business."

"Business?" Li Tang was even more confused now.

Uncle Qiao is Qiao Mu's father, and he is now the director of the fertilizer factory. If there is any official business with him, there will be no conflict between the two parties.

"Okay, I understand, Dad, I should have nothing to do tomorrow, so I'll just wait in the office."

Although he was confused, Li Tang still agreed.
