The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Zhang Xiushan wandered outside the gate of the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and strode in.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the office area, he was stopped by a female front desk staff.

"May I ask what can I do for you, sir?"

Zhang Xiushan said in fluent English: "My name is Zhang Xiushan. I am a doctor of oncology at Harvard Medical School. I sent my resume to your company some time ago, but I didn't receive a response for a long time, so I came to take a look."

Zhang Xiushan spoke English purely to show his ability.

He always felt that speaking fluent English should be his strength.

Especially in research institutions like this, shouldn’t everyone be required to speak English well?

Because I need to look up English information!

The receptionist smiled faintly and said calmly, "Sir, please speak Chinese."

Zhang Xiushan rolled his eyes.

There's no way, he thought, a receptionist definitely doesn't understand English.

He could only repeat what he had just said in Chinese.

The receptionist then said with a professional smile: "I'm sorry, sir, if you haven't received a response, it can only mean one thing: you don't meet our recruitment requirements, and you were not selected."

Zhang Xiushan was stunned.

He couldn't help but raise his voice: "I graduated from Harvard Medical School! It's the top medical school in the world!"

"If a Harvard oncology PhD isn't qualified, then who is?"

"You are building this cancer research institute, shouldn't you hire the best talents?"

The receptionist said calmly, "Sir, please lower your voice and don't disturb the order in the office area."

“First of all, we don’t consider Harvard Medical School to be the top medical school in the world!”

"Secondly, we have our own principles and requirements for recruitment."

"So, it's normal for you to lose the election."

Zhang Xiushan felt unwell all over.

He never dreamed that he would be confronted by a receptionist.

What he didn't expect was that his PhD in oncology from Harvard Medical School was not taken seriously by this newly established anti-cancer research institute.

Zhang Xiushan was very sad and angry.

He felt that the other party was disrespecting talent.

"I never thought that Zhang Zhipeng would be so nepotistic!"

"So, I want to know, what are your own recruitment standards and principles?"

“Do you speak for your HR department?”

The receptionist frowned and said, "I really don't know what you are talking about."

"My words cannot represent our HR department, but our principles are there and everyone must abide by them!"

"We have only two principles: the first is patriotism and high moral character, and the second is strong professional ability."

"As for diplomas, academic qualifications, and graduating schools, we have never put these in the first place!"

Zhang Xiushan was stunned.

He didn't expect that this organization would put patriotism first in its recruitment principles.

"I think I completely meet both of your requirements. You have to give me an interview opportunity to select outstanding talents, right?"

The receptionist smiled and said, "Please tell me your real name. I'll check it in the computer system and I'll know why you were screened out."

Zhang Xiushan gritted his teeth and gave the other party his name and ID number.

The front desk input a query and said, "Mr. Zhang Xiushan, in order to study abroad, you forced your parents to borrow money from all relatives and friends. After you went abroad, you never came back. Even when your grandmother passed away and wanted to see you, you didn't go back."

"This fully proves that you are a selfish person and your morals are flawed!"

"In addition, you have made many inappropriate remarks on external platforms, looking down on your own origins and even slandering and denigrating the place where you were born."

"This shows that you have no patriotism. You are willing to sell out your country for a little personal gain!"

"So you don't meet our recruitment criteria at all."

"Since you love Eagle Country so much, you should stay there and develop."

"Therefore, it is normal that we do not give you the opportunity to interview!"

Zhang Xiushan was stunned.

He didn't expect that the other party would investigate so thoroughly.

All his past secrets were exposed.

"You are invading my privacy! It is wrong for you to do this!" Zhang Xiushan was a little exasperated.

The receptionist smiled and said, "We have already made a statement in advance. As long as you submit a job application letter, we will definitely do a background check."

"Isn't this a very normal thing?"

"Sir, if you have nothing else to do, I suggest you leave here immediately."

Zhang Xiushan sighed. He felt like a deflated ball at the moment. He was so depressed.

He turned around and left in a daze. When he entered the elevator, there happened to be a few people walking out and he almost bumped into someone.

Zhang Xiushan was extremely desperate at this time: he originally thought that after studying in Ahming for so long and even obtaining a doctorate in oncology, wouldn't it be easy for him to become a high-ranking official when he returned to China?
But the reality is really cruel.

He studied abroad for ten years, wasted his entire youth, spent countless money, and finally returned to China, only to find himself like a waste.

Zhang Zhipeng glanced at Zhang Xiushan when he walked out of the elevator. He thought the man looked very depressed.

When Zhang Zhipeng walked to the front desk, the receptionist hurriedly greeted him with a sweet smile.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and asked, "Why did that man come here?"

The front desk clerk told me what had just happened.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "It seems that the imprint in people's brains is very stubborn!"

"I didn't expect that someone would actually come here to question me!"

Zhang Zhipeng came to the Weimin Cancer Research Institute today to provide training for the recruited researchers.

Once recruitment is complete, training begins.

He invited the country's most famous oncology experts to give systematic lectures.

He also gave several lectures himself.

The purpose is to clarify one's own ideas on tumor treatment and tumor drug research.

His lectures are very inspiring and insightful.

These newly recruited researchers who have signed five-year contracts with the institute have been greatly inspired.

Today is already the beginning of April 2002, and today is the last training day.

Zhang Zhipeng will assign tasks to these newly recruited people today. Starting tomorrow, these people will begin to carry out their own research tasks.

……

Lin Jianshe is a doctor of pharmacy who graduated from a second-rate medical university in China.

He and Zhang Xiushan are from the same village.

In fact, he and Zhang Xiushan were classmates from elementary school to high school.

However, the life circumstances of the two people are quite different.

Zhang Xiushan has been the capable “other people’s kid” since he was young.

But Lin Jianshe has always been mediocre.

Therefore, Lin Jianshe has always admired Zhang Xiushan.

He never even had the courage to compete with Zhang Xiushan. Later, Lin Jianshe barely passed the entrance exam to study pharmacy at a second-rate medical university.

Zhang Xiushan attended the best medical university in the country and studied surgery.

Lin Jianshe failed the postgraduate entrance examination the first year after graduating from university. He took the exam again for another year before finally being admitted to the university's postgraduate program in pharmacy.

Zhang Xiushan received a high scholarship to study for a master's degree at Harvard Medical School.

After graduating from graduate school, Lin Jianshe worked as a pharmacist in a county hospital for three years, but felt that there was no future for him, so he took the doctoral exam and was admitted to a medical university that was also not very good.

At that time, Zhang Xiushan was the pride of the whole village, and everyone said that Zhang Xiushan was doing very well in Amei.

After Lin Jianshe graduated with a Ph.D., he originally wanted to work in a medical research institute.

Later, he saw that Zhang Zhipeng had invested heavily in establishing the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute, offering very good remuneration, so he secretly submitted his resume.

At this time, Zhang Xiushan suddenly returned to the village from Amei.

Zhang Xiushan and Lin Jianshe met once and had a brief chat.

Zhang Xiushan revealed that he had submitted his resume to the Weimin Cancer Research Institute and was preparing to develop in this institute.

Lin Jianshe was so guilty that he didn't even dare to tell the other party that he had submitted his resume.

Later, Lin Jianshe received an interview notice and went to Changan for the interview.

It was not until then that he realized that Zhang Xiushan did not even get the chance to interview.

Lin Jianshe was shocked to hear the news.

He couldn't understand why Zhang Xiushan, who was so outstanding, attended a world-class medical school, and even studied oncology and obtained a doctorate, didn't get a chance to interview.

Later, he was admitted as a researcher at the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute.

Only then did he dare to spread the news.

He was very proud that he had finally defeated Zhang Xiushan. This was really not easy.

When Lin Jianshe first started working at the Weimin Cancer Research Institute, he was not very confident.

However, after receiving systematic training and being assigned research tasks, he found that his job was actually very simple: it was actually a verification study of an anti-cancer targeted drug proposed by Zhang Zhipeng. As long as he did his work step by step, it would generally be easy to produce results.

The research team he and several others organized took only about a month to develop a targeted drug that had significant effects in monkey experiments.

Next, Lin Jianshe started going to hospitals to test drugs.

The patients participating in the drug trial are basically those with advanced liver cancer.

Generally speaking, such patients will not survive more than half a year, and the quality of survival will be very poor.

However, after using the targeted drug successfully developed by Lin Jianshe and others, the condition of all 10 patients who took the drug showed significant improvement.

The survival time of these patients has been greatly extended, and their recovery is very good. They can now live like normal people.

This medicine immediately became a national sensation.

Lin Jianshe, as one of the main developers, has also been widely reported by the media.

He became famous overnight.

Of course, Lin Jianshe knew that he was not the real inventor of this medicine.

The real inventor should be Zhang Zhipeng.

But this drug finally became the fruit of collective wisdom. Of course, the patent of this drug belongs to Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute.

Lin Jianshe returned to his village to visit his parents in mid-August 2002. It was at this time that he discovered that he had already gained great popularity and influence in the village.

This is because the drug he was involved in researching had the opportunity to be tested in several hospitals across the country.

Even in the next village, there are patients whose condition has improved significantly after using this medicine.

Lin Jianshe became a leader among the young people of his generation in the village.

At this time, Zhang Xiushan was lying at home and living off his parents, and he was not even willing to look for a job.

Lin Jianshe has become a model of counterattack in life.

……

卫民抗癌研究院在2002年3月成立，到了2002年的8月，他们已经有多达17种各种抗癌新药在各大医院临床试用。

Among these 17 new anti-cancer drugs, there are a variety of new and effective chemotherapy drugs, targeted drugs, and nutritional drugs that can significantly enhance human immunity.

In short, very comprehensive.

To come up with so many new drugs in such a short period of time, and to have them show very good results in clinical trials, has caused a sensation around the world.

At the same time, national health authorities are also accelerating the approval process.

We hope that these drugs can be approved for marketing in the shortest possible time.

After all, almost all the anti-cancer drugs currently used in the country are imported.

Many of them are priced very high.

Some medicines cost tens of thousands of RMB for one dose, and a course of treatment may even cost millions of RMB.

The pharmaceutical giant Xifang is making so much money that its hands are sore from harvesting profits.

Of course, there is competition among the giants of the Lizard Realm.

During the competition, these pharmaceutical giants have used high commissions and other means to bribe doctors or hospital leaders in order to promote their drugs more.

In short, there are no cheap anti-cancer drugs in China at present.

Even if cheap generic drugs are available in the country, doctors will not recommend them because they are of no benefit to them.

It can be said that there are many doctors nowadays who have dark hearts.

They even take money from terminally ill patients one by one, until the patients are left with nothing.

……

Roche is a well-known star company that provides anti-cancer drugs.

This company has a very complete range of anti-cancer drugs and has very lucrative profits in China.

The series of anti-cancer drugs it sells in China can bring it up to 20 billion RMB in revenue each year.

It can be said that it has made a lot of money.

The current president of Roche is Jacques.

Jacques came to China in August 2002.

Jacques was now anxious.

Why was he anxious? Because he had read a lot of news about the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute.

This research institute invested and established by Zhang Zhipeng unexpectedly launched 17 new anti-cancer drugs in a very short period of time.

Moreover, these 17 drugs are all undergoing clinical trials in hospitals.

What shocked him most was that all 17 drugs were effective!
Jacques thought, it seems that China is now going to focus on anti-cancer drugs again!

So once their 17 drugs are launched on the market, will there be any place for Roche’s drugs?
Jacques couldn't eat when he thought about the possibility that his company would lose tens of billions of RMB in revenue every year.

So, he came to China in person.

He wanted to investigate it himself to see what the real situation was.

After Jacques arrived in China, he ordered his sales representatives across the country to go to major hospitals that were conducting clinical drug trials as soon as possible to conduct investigations to see whether those drugs were really effective.

After his investigation, he found that everything was true!
Those 17 anti-cancer drugs that were clinically tested in the hospital almost at the same time almost all had very good effects.

In fact, they have completely surpassed Roche's drugs.

Jacques was very anxious.

No! I have to find a way to suppress the other party!
I absolutely cannot let their medicine become popular throughout China.

The key is: how to stop it? Chinese people now admire their own products very much!

They even worshipped Zhang Zhipeng as if he were a god... (End of this chapter)
