Chapter 427: Chapter 259: With a Son Like This, What More Could One Ask For
The Wu family’s relatives stared at Colonel Li Ai, their mouths trembling slightly.
"It really is Colonel Li Ai! To think Wu Ting has a friend like her... this is incredible."
"A national heroine, Colonel Li Ai!"
Some of Wu Ting’s relatives were, after all, ordinary people. Seeing a national icon like her, they began to cheer excitedly.
The younger generation, Wu Ting’s cousins and siblings, immediately took out their phones to take pictures. Seeing the national heroine Li Ai at their relative’s housewarming party was a great source of pride!
The officials from Fan City also rose to their feet to welcome Li Qing and Li Ai.
Mayor Fu and Director He greeted Li Qing and Li Ai as well.
As the director of the provincial Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, combined with his youth, Li Qing’s political future was even brighter than Mayor Fu’s.
Mayor Fu was quite moved to see Li Qing had come to congratulate Wu Ting.
Not to mention Colonel Li Ai!
A research talent of Li Ai’s background and strategic importance wasn’t someone just anyone could invite. As time went on, it was a dead certainty she would become a young female general.
Li Ai thanked everyone for their warm reception and gestured for them to sit down.
Deng Feifei immediately stepped forward on Wu Ting’s behalf to welcome them, guiding the pair to the main table.
When Wu Mu and Zhang Qing saw Li Qing and Li Ai, they were at a loss for words. Deng Feifei made the introductions for the elderly couple, noticing their awkwardness and nervousness.
Li Ai and Li Qing took the initiative to greet them. "Uncle, Auntie, besides attending your housewarming party today, we also came specifically to thank Director Wu..."
The two of them humbly and amiably explained their connection to Wu Ting.
Li Ai then said something stunning:
"Director Wu is my savior. If it weren’t for the novel ’Negative Immune Regulation Therapy Combined with Triple Therapy-Assisted Tumor Resection’ that he pioneered and developed, I might still be fighting my illness. I definitely wouldn’t have the health and energy to conduct my scientific research."
"If not for Director Wu’s miraculous healing hands, I don’t know if I could have held on long enough to see my project come to fruition."
"Thankfully, I met Director Wu. He resolved my worries, allowing me to lead my team through every difficulty to ultimately complete the mission given to me by the country and the people."
Through Li Ai’s powerful and resonant account, everyone finally understood that it was Wu Ting’s surgery that had cured Colonel Li Ai’s liver cancer!
At that moment, Wu Mu and Zhang Qing were filled with immense pride.
"Doesn’t that mean, in a way, our son also made a contribution to Jin Country’s strategic laser weapon!" Zhang Qing said excitedly, looking at Li Ai.
"Of course."
"In fact, my brother and I came here for another reason today. We’re preparing to approach the relevant departments in Fan City to recommend Director Wu’s project on ’Immune Negative Regulation Therapy Combined with Triple Therapy Assistance Technology’ for this year’s ’Jin Province Young and Middle-Aged Expert with Outstanding Contributions’ award!"
Seeing that Mayor Fu and Director He were present, Li Ai took the opportunity to make things clear.
"Uncle, Auntie, the strategic laser weapon my team and I developed serves to protect our homeland and has contributed to the nation. Director Wu’s new diagnostic and treatment technology for primary liver cancer secondary to hepatitis B is also protecting the lives of our people. The contribution is the same! Both benefit the country and its citizens!"
Hearing Li Ai’s assessment, everyone present was equally moved.
"Yes, Dr. Wu’s diagnostic and treatment technology for primary liver cancer secondary to hepatitis B is truly a remarkable achievement. Once it’s widely adopted across the country, it will bring hope to thousands upon thousands of liver cancer patients. It’s a great contribution!"
Coming from anyone else, it might have been mere flattery. But this was coming from a nationally recognized heroine who had just been featured by Headquarter TV Station. If she believed it, then Wu Ting was truly a hero of the people as well!
Hearing Li Ai’s praise and Li Qing’s plan, Fu Jinfen and Shen Xiaofei from Haijin Port also felt a sense of anticipation. It seemed they would need to have a good talk with Wu Ting later.
If he could really be selected as a "Jin Province Young and Middle-Aged Expert with Outstanding Contributions," he would be eligible for special benefits.
To improve the working conditions for these experts, they are given priority for continued research funding and equipment, priority consideration for domestic and international academic exchanges and inspection tours, allowing them to take a leading role in their academic and technical fields, and encouraging them to achieve even greater results in research and technological innovation.
If Wu Ting were selected based on the results of his phase two research, he would receive even more official support, which would facilitate his subsequent phase three and phase four research.
As members of the Surgical Branch of the Jin Country Medical Association, Fu Jinfen and Shen Xiaofei prepared to contact the other members, especially Ma Mengchao, to see how they could better support Wu Ting’s research!
Mayor Fu and Director He also took this matter to heart. They planned to go back and arrange for the relevant departments to submit a recommendation for Wu Ting tomorrow.
With Director Li’s recommendation, to put it bluntly, it was just a matter of going through the formalities for Wu Ting.
Such a young "Jin Province Young and Middle-Aged Expert with Outstanding Contributions"... it was truly something to look forward to and admire.
This honor was awarded at the provincial level. In addition to a one-time cash prize, these experts were entitled to Grade-Two national medical benefits and could participate in recreational retreats organized by the provincial personnel bureau.
