Saibei Province. Qingcheng!
In the old bus station at the north gate of the old city, Zhou Yang walked towards the exit not far away with a green army bag slung across his body and a stack of packed manuscripts in his hand.
Zhou Yang's memory of this provincial capital city has never been very deep.
Although he had been working in Saibei Province for more than five years in his previous life, he had never been to Qingcheng, the provincial capital.
I did come here on business trips after it was re-opened, but I came and went in a hurry, and I didn’t get to know the city in detail.
Therefore, after getting off the bus, he found it quite novel to see buildings full of Mongolian elements and people speaking a national language that he did not understand!
Although it is the same as Ning City, it is also shabby and does not look like a provincial capital city at all.
However, you can also see many buildings, which are indeed much more prosperous than Yunshan County.
In fact, most cities in this era are the same. Apart from being larger, they are not much different from ordinary county towns.
There are not so many high-rise buildings, nor so many high-end cars and big hotels.
People also dress the same as the people in the countryside, simple and plain, maybe just cleaner!
All in all, the first impression Qingcheng gave Zhou Yang was the magnified county seat!
As soon as Zhou Yang walked to the door of the bus station, he heard someone calling his name!
When he looked up, he found that it was Yang Yunzhao!
At this time, he was holding a piece of cardboard with his name on it and standing at the exit, obviously coming to pick him up.
Zhou Yang was a little surprised, but also a little happy, and walked over immediately.
"Director Yang, why are you here? I can find it myself!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Haha, am I anxious to get the manuscript as soon as possible?"
Then his voice changed and he continued: "Besides, you are a guest from afar, so I have to entertain you!"
Knowing that Yang Yunzhao said this on purpose, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "That's really troublesome for you!"
"No trouble..."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two left the station together.
Under the leadership of Yang Yunzhao, they came to a bus stop with an iron sign.
Zhou Yang's memory of this old bus station is already very vague.
When I saw it, I felt a little friendly!
Just as he was sighing, Yang Yunzhao suddenly said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, the car is here, get ready!"
Looking in the direction of Yang Yunzhao's finger, I saw an old-fashioned bus driving on the road on the right.
Before the bus even approached, Zhou Yang saw the billowing black smoke coming from behind the bus and the loud crashing noise.
This isn't a bus at all, it's just an antique!
As soon as the bus stopped, I saw several men and women getting out of the bus. They were all young people.
After people got off the bus, Zhou Yang and others got on the bus!
There were not many people in the car, only a dozen people in total, and the huge car seemed a bit empty!
It's nothing like the public transportation system of later generations. It's so crowded everywhere you go that no one in good health can get on it.
As soon as he got on the bus, Zhou Yang saw a conductor in a gray uniform and hat, shouting in blunt Chinese: "Comrades who just got on the bus bought a ticket, it's 5 cents per stop!"
Zhou Yang was about to take out the money when he saw that Yang Yunzhao had already handed the conductor a fifty-cent ticket and said, "Comrade, University West Street, two tickets!"
"Three stations, two sanmao, two cents from you!"
While making change, Zhou Yang saw the conductor tearing off two palm-sized tickets from the ticket book.
First, he drew on it twice with a pen, and then handed the ticket to Yang Yunzhao.
The speed of the car was very slow, and from time to time it had to give way to pedestrians and livestock crossing the road. The journey, which was not very far, took more than half an hour.
Finally, the car stopped in an area of bungalows.
After greeting Zhou Yang to get out of the car, Yang Yunzhao pointed to a small community-like bungalow in the front right and said: "That's our Saibei University!"
The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the school gate.
After a simple registration, Zhou Yang finally entered the first university in Saibei.
Saibei University felt very run-down to Zhou Yang. There were only a few two-story buildings on the huge campus. At first glance, they were no different from ordinary middle schools.
It’s just that there are many students here, they are older and more mature!
Perhaps because it is the beginning of the school year, there is a constant flow of students on campus and it seems very lively.
They were in groups, some wearing regular clothes, others wearing national costumes, which gave them a somewhat unique style.
Yang Yunzhao first brought Zhou Yang to his office, and then poured him a glass of water!
"Comrade Zhou Yang, what you said on the phone that day was not very clear. Can you tell me the specific situation?"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "It's a long story, let me tell you from the beginning!"
Then, Zhou Yang told him about Lin Wanwan in detail, and also explained that he was borrowing the laboratory of their chemistry department this time to develop new special medicine for Lin Wanwan.
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, Yang Yunzhao's brows suddenly wrinkled.
Although he sympathized with Lin Wanwan's experience, medicine was not something that could be taken lightly, nor was it easy.
First of all, it can take as little as one and a half years to research a new drug. If things don't go well, it can take as long as ten or eight years.
Moreover, after a new drug is developed, it must undergo rigorous clinical trials before it can be used by patients.
But after listening to Zhou Yang's instructions, he obviously wanted to make a quick decision and then use it on the patient immediately.
"Comrade Zhou Yang, do you have any previous experience in researching drugs?"
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Director Yang, I know what you are worried about. You can rest assured. I have developed this kind of medicine more than once before, and it will definitely be fine!"
"But has your drug gone through clinical trials?" Yang Yunzhao asked again.
"This really doesn't exist!"
Fluoxetine has miraculous effects on depression. This is the result of later research and has indeed undergone rigorous clinical trials.
But now, research on it in Europe, the United States and other countries is still in the theoretical stage, and it will take at least ten years to make breakthrough progress.
And large-scale clinical application will take at least 15 years!
Things haven’t been researched yet, so there is no such thing as clinical trials!
Hearing Zhou Yang's answer, Yang Yunzhao immediately said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, I know you want to help that female educated youth, but have you ever thought about what if...I just mean that if that female educated youth had an accident because of taking your medicine, Accident, have you thought about the consequences?”
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "I've thought about this, but I still want to try it, even if it's a dead horse being a living horse doctor!"
"Hey, you are still young, there is really no need to risk your future for an irrelevant person!" Yang Yunzhao said.
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, not to mention she is a miserable person!"
Seeing that Zhou Yang couldn't be persuaded, Yang Yunzhao could only nodded and said: "Okay, I've already said hello to the laboratory, and I will take you there later!"
"Besides, I have vacated my dormitory for you. You can live in my dormitory these days!"
"I stayed in your dormitory, then Director Yang, you..."
"My home is in the family courtyard at the back. I go home after get off work. That dormitory is only used when I am on duty. Most of the time it is idle!" Yang Yunzhao explained.
"Okay! Thank you, Director Yang!"
"You're welcome!"
Then Director Yang said again: "Let's go, I'll take you to the laboratory. If you need an assistant, I can arrange it for you!"
"OK!"
