Chapter: 5777

Because both of them were from the United States, one was a cancer patient and the other was a family member of a cancer patient, so he left his phone number with Smith, partly out of appreciation and respect for him, and partly to warm up to him.

The plane is still taxiing at this moment, and Hu Lèiqi has already called James Smith's mobile phone number in China.

When the call connected, James Smith on the other end asked curiously, "Little Hu, what brings you to me?"

James Smith asked, "What's going on? What brings you to me?"

James Smith said, "I'm helping homeless people at the Golden Temple and distributing some food I bought, what about it? Do you have something to ask for?"

Hu Lèiqi quickly said, "Mr. James Smith, please hurry up and handle your affairs, take Jimmy to the entrance of Jixuan Pharmaceutical and wait for me, my mom and I will be arriving directly from the airport and we'll meet there!"

"What's going on with Jixuan Pharmaceutical?"

James Smith subconsciously asked a question, then wondered aloud, "What are you doing at Jixuan Pharmaceutical?"

Hu Lèiqi said excitedly, "There's a friend who helped me and my mom get a spot for the clinical trial of Nine Heavens Pill, he seems to have connections with Jixuan Pharmaceutical's high-level officials. I asked him if he could give Jimmy a spot, and he agreed, so we're rushing over there now to coordinate with them, can you bring Jimmy along too?"

James Smith simply couldn't believe his ears, wondering aloud, "Aren't the two of you already disqualified by them? And Jimmy also doesn't meet their scoring standards. What's the background of this friend of yours? How does he have such big connections?"

Hu Lèiqi said, "I don't know what kind of background he has. He said he has good relations with Jixuan Pharmaceutical's Wei Liang, although there's no way to prove it. But I feel that he's not just messing around with us, so this matter... I still have some confidence in my heart."

"How's that possible..." James Smith said seriously, "Leiqi, you don't understand a lot of the background at Jixuan Pharmaceutical, but I can tell you clearly, even Wei Liang himself is just a spokesperson for Jixuan Pharmaceutical's CEO, and he wouldn't dare to give anyone an unfair advantage in this matter."

Hu Lèiqi said, "But he seemed very sincere, and I felt like he wasn't joking around with us. Besides, we're already back in Jinling, and Jimmy is coming with us, so even if it doesn't work out, there's no loss anyway."

James Smith hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Leiqi, what's your friend Lin Chen called? How did you two become acquainted?"

Hu Lèiqi said, "He's called Lin Chen, and we met while hiking together."

"Lin Chen?" James Smith was even more astonished: "If the person you know is actually Ye Chen, then this matter should be fine. But Lin Chen... I've never heard of that person..."

As he spoke, James Smith asked again: "What's your friend Lin Chen, roughly how old would he be?"

Hu Lèiqi said, "He looks to be around 20 years old."

James Smith let out a disappointed whisper: "20 years old... That doesn't seem like Ye Chen, who is almost 30 years old already..."

Leiqi asked him, "Mr. Smith, how's Jimmy doing?"

"Not very well..." James Smith spoke in a despondent tone, "The doctors here in Jinling say that Jimmy's cancer cells have spread to multiple organs and have developed some resistance to chemotherapy drugs. After completing this course of treatment, if there isn't significant improvement, it's likely that we'll only be able to resort to palliative care from then on... That would essentially mean the end..."

Leiqi asked, "Where's Jimmy now? Is he with you at church?"

"No." James Smith said. "Jimmy is undergoing chemotherapy in Jinling People's Hospital's day hospital ward. His mom is there to take care of him."

Leiqi was taken aback and asked, "Your wife came too?"

"Yes," James Smith said. "She settled her affairs on the American side a few days ago, sold their house, and then brought their daughter over here. Recently, I've been focusing my energy on taking care of both kids, so I'm mainly working at the church." JrNovels.com
