Medical Sovereign Chapter 452

Mayor Du frowned and said, “By relying on his father's power, he committed evil acts. He is so savage, but there must be such a father, and then there is such a son. How can such a person do a good job? I'm afraid that his past experience is not clean, either. Minglu, call the Municipal Discipline Commission's comrades, and asked them to take an investigation.”

“Yes, Mayor Du!”

Xu Minglu had a smile in his eyes and picked up his phone to contact the Discipline Commission.

Li Guodong glanced at District Director Yang and saw a smile on his lips. Apparently, he was buoyant.

He couldn't help feeling startled. “The series of responses of Mayor Du is so fast. He is taking this pretext to fight back!”

Fortunately, he was an insider and had not got involved in it, but the current undercurrent was turbulent. It was time to take a stand, but where should he go?

Thinking of this, Li Guodong's second look at Ding Ning was a slightly different. Back in the past, when the municipal criminal police team got a consultant, he turned up his nose, but he did not expect that this consultant had worked so soon.

The office term change was to take place next year, and who would be the top leader of Ninghai?

At this critical moment, Mayor Du, who complied with the will of the Central Agency in advance, strongly launched the anti-corruption and anti-Mafia campaign to purify the political environment of Ninghai.

This was good, but it affected the interests of so many people. These interest groups hated Mayor Du to their bones, thinking that he used this campaign as an excuse to clear the obstacles that would prevent his succession in next year's office term change by cracking down on those who did not stand in line with him.

Therefore, these interest groups, driven by those with bad intentions, secretly colluded with one another, wanting to make trouble and drive Mayor Du out of the political circle. At least, they must drive him out of Ninghai.

In the morning, some interest groups had just begun to make tentative moves, while in the afternoon, Mayor Du had made a breakthrough from Zhang Shiqiu through this little consultant. Li Guodong, who had not been optimistic about Mayor Du, had to see him in a new light and began to consider taking a stand.

What he did not know was that Ding Ning just happened to be at the site and got involved in this dispute unintentionally. Although he had the titles of Police Consultant and Consultant of National Security Bureau, he only approved his doctor's identity in his mind because that was his main business, but as a little doctor, he still did not know that he would make unimaginable waves in this turbulent political storm.

Of course, Li Guodong, on his level of leadership, could not understand what Mayor Du had done at all. He thought that as long as the mayor did not take unexpected actions and served as a routine mayor, he would be re-elected next year.

Unfortunately, even Xu Minglu did not know that Mayor Du's ambition was never to serve Ninghai, for he had an ideal to enter the center of politics and use his life-long learning to achieve his political ambitions and make contributions to the development of the whole Shenzhou.

Therefore, he turned up his nose at the so-called covert collusion of these people. Regardless of everyone's opposition, he insisted on strongly launching the anti-corruption and anti-Mafia campaign, but this was also a political speculation.

The chiefs of the Central Agency were about to reform, ready to rectify the unhealthy practices in the officialdom, purify the officialdom environment, enhance the credibility of the government, and resolutely crack down on the collusion between government and business and the collusion between government and underworld, and other undesirable phenomena. This had become the focus of next year's work.

In fact, he had secretly got the accurate information and only pushed it forward in Ninghai in advance. This was an action in line with the reform intention of the chief of the Central Agency and his own original intention.

What was the trouble to be the enemy of the whole world? Even when all the Ninghai people scolded him, he did not mind, and he had secretly set up a special anti-Mafia and anti-corruption working group, which was responsible for accumulating experience in practice.

As soon as the Central Agency's work report came out next year, everyone would know that he had been ahead of all the others and had become a forward-looking forerunner of this campaign, and then he would be appreciated by the Central Agency's chiefs and have a bright future.

Although Mayor Du was very confident, he still did not expect that these oppositions had no bottom line to such an extent that they even sacrificed human lives to create this major traffic accident in an attempt to ruin his career.

This was a very vulgar but effective method, but it was useless to him. Since the moment his wife woke up, his wife's family had restored their degree of support to him. A major traffic accident could only bring him small trouble at most, but it could not destroy his future.

So, he had always been treating these interest groups with a looking-down attitude. If he found their problems, he would handle them with reasonably lighter means.

However, what they had done had seriously crossed his bottom line of tolerance, making him strengthen his convictions. He would not only resort to severe investigations, but he would also punish them severely and would not let them off. Such lunatics did not even deserve to be humans, let alone to be an official.

In just a few seconds, Mayor Du had recalled his experiences over the years. Wearing a smile, he shook hands with Ding Ning and then introduced him to everyone, “This is Ding Ning, a consultant to the Municipal Criminal Police Team and an honorary professor at the Medical College of Ninghai University.”

Ding Ning was a little confused. “When did I become an honorary professor?” But it was not suitable to ask more about it now, so he only politely shook hands with Yang Zhiyong and the others and said hello to them.

The complexions of Yang Zhiyong and the others changed slightly because of these words, and their indifferent smiles had become a little more sincere. “Such a young professor and also a consultant to the Municipal Criminal Police Team, he is quite promising!”

Li Guodong was a typical example. After the subtle changes occurred in his mind and he knew that Ding Ning and he could be regarded as colleagues working in the same system, he held his hands quite enthusiastically and asked about his living situation, as if he was a long-time friend, making Ding Ning feel flattered.

As a man promoted by Mayor Du, Yang Zhiyong could see that Mayor Du was very kind to Ding Ning and took him quite seriously, so he concluded that Ding Ning stood in line with them and treated him more warmly.

Director Sun wanted to show his friendliness, but obviously, his position was a bit low. After a quick handshake with Ding Ning, he was jostled away by Yang Zhiyong. Anyway, he could not compete with the district director for the chance and had to stand behind with frustration, but his eyes glittered with obscure luster.

Soon, Ding Ning became the focus of everyone's attention and walked with Mayor Du arm in arm. Surrounded by everyone, they entered the Bailong Town Police Station.

Zhao Chenxi followed them quietly, with different colors glittering in her beautiful eyes. For the first time, she thought that Ding Ning seemed to be comparable to her brother.

As a girl with a perfect brother, she felt so much pain, in fact. After all, she was used to perfection and could not tolerate any defects, so she had an exceptionally high requirement in spouse selection.

So many boys pursued her. Those boys who were excellent in other people's eyes could not even compare with her brother's one hair. Since she always took her brother as her standard, she even thought that she would not meet a person who could meet her mate-selection criteria in her whole life.

But Ding Ning seemed to have broken this unshakable rule at the moment. For one thing, he was not as brilliant as his brother, who was the focus of attention wherever he went; for another, sometimes he was even very inconspicuous.

However, when she observed him carefully, she found that he was very handsome indeed and even seemed not in an inferior position compared with her brother. Yet, he lacked the eye-catching affinity that her brother was born with, nor did he have the nobility and elegance of someone from a powerful family, but the occasional sharpness that burst out of him was striking.

He was like a sharpness-restrained sword hidden in the scabbard. It looked dim on the surface, but once it was taken out, the light it gave off was like that of a peerless weapon, and nothing could block his light.

The incomparable sense of security he bore especially attracted her, making her deeply fascinated, and she could not even get that feeling from her brother.

Her brother made her feel proud, and she even admired him, but he was like a superstar, whom she could see but could not get close to, and he always gave her a slight sense of alienation.

Yet, Ding Ning, the little gigolo in her mind, brought her a kind of totally different feeling: He was like an elder brother next door, and he was so real that she could touch him just by reaching out her hand.

He was also like a gurgling stream, which quietly flowed into her heart in a soft and silent way, so that when she thought of him, she felt easy, happy, sweet…

Unconsciously, Zhao Chenxi blushed and spat quietly. “Zhao Chenxi, how coquettish you are! He's a scum who loves two girls at the same time and a gigolo who only speaks sweet words. Don't be fooled by him.”

But no matter how she imposed psychological hints on herself, she still could not stop her curiosity and affection for Ding Ning, so she felt very frustrated.

Ding Ning did not know what she was thinking. Now, he was in ecstasy because Xu Minglu secretly told him that after reporting to the chiefs of the Central Agency, Vice-minister Jiang got special benefits for him: He was exceptionally granted the title of honorary professor of the Medical College of Ninghai University and the title of chief physician; he was also given the national special allowance. The certificates would be issued recently.

This was a matter of certainty, so when Mayor Du introduced him just now, he especially mentioned his professor's identity.

These were not the only benefits. The clinical trial results of the Rice Bean Oral Solution were surprisingly good. So far, it had entered the third phase of the trial and attracted the great attention of the chiefs of the Central Agency. It was reported that when all the clinical trials were finished, the state would grant him the honorary title of Academician of the Shenzhou Academy of Sciences.

Compared with the title of academician of the Shenzhou Academy of Sciences, the professor's identity was not worth mentioning, for the Academician of the Shenzhou Academy of Sciences was the highest and life-long honorary title in Shenzhou.

How could Ding Ning not feel ecstatic? Although he had predicted this day, he did not expect it to come so soon and so suddenly. He even thought that he would only get these titles when he won the Nobel Prize.

After hearing the explanation of Xu Minglu, Ding Ning suddenly realized that he could also be counted as one who benefited from the policy. In the past, Shenzhou Country's government only encouraged their scientists with the spirit of dedication in a bureaucratic fashion. As a result, a massive brain drain was caused. Taken by other countries that provided superior conditions, they served them.

The top leaders of Shenzhou Country's government had been aware of the serious brain drain. After pondering their previous improper measures, they decided to give the best treatment to the special talents who could make contributions to the country. The conditions were extremely good: Each of them would be given a house with the size they needed in the city where they lived; they could enjoy the national lifetime allowance; their problems such as children's schooling, employment and others would also be solved.

Ding Ning happened to encounter this good policy, so he could get part of the welfare in advance. The government was afraid that he would be attracted by other countries during this period. If this occurred, it would cause a brain drain and loss to the nation.

Although the clinical trial of the Rice Bean Oral Solution had not been fully completed, the clinical results of the first two phases showed that its effect was quite significant without any toxic and side effects, and it could replace all antibiotics. For the international medical community, this was also a landmark breakthrough.

Many academicians of physiological medicine of the Shenzhou Academy of Sciences were very interested in the two microorganisms: rice kernels and bean sprouts. They had studied them, and some had even used them in the experiments they were doing. It was conceivable that Shenzhou medicine would have a booming development in the next few years.

Now, the nation was very confident in the clinical effect of the Rice Bean Oral Solution; otherwise, its clinical trial would not have entered the third phase so soon. The fact was that it would take at least five or six years for normal new drugs to appear on the market.

After all, some of the sequelae and harmfulness of some drugs had an incubation period. Presently, they might look fine, but no one knew if they could cause other serious consequences in a few years.
