Chapter 1768 Dawn
Elon Musk waved his hand and said: "Dr. Manu, I am quite satisfied with your work. You and your team have also done their best for Xiao X these few days, so there is no need to resign."
"Mr. Musk..." Manu felt a little ashamed, feeling ashamed to stay any longer.
Elon Musk interrupted Mannu with a wave of his hand, and said: "I still hope that Dr. Mannu can stay, and you can continue to improve the treatment plan for Xiao X. We can serve as a backup option."
Speaking of this, Elon Musk looked at Xia Ruofei and asked politely: "Doctor Xia, do you mind?"
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "Of course, be prepared! Although I don't think it is necessary, I will not interfere with your decision."
Elon Musk showed a hint of embarrassment, and Li Yifu on the side also showed displeasure, feeling that Elon Musk did not trust Xia Ruofei enough. On the other hand, Xia Ruofei himself always had a calm expression, without any emotional fluctuations.
Elon Musk hesitated, and said: "Then please let Dr. Manu's team stay! After all, they have to provide other medical services for me and my family."
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "I have no objection, but I hope that Mr. Mannu and other members of the team can sign a non-disclosure agreement..."
"Confidentiality agreement?" Elon Musk froze for a moment.
"About today's incident and the subsequent treatment of patients, I don't want to be hyped up by outsiders, so I think a confidentiality agreement is still necessary." Xia Ruofei said.
Elon Musk said very puzzled: "Mr. Xia, if you can conquer such a dangerous disease, you will definitely become famous all over the world! And..."
"I don't want to be famous." Xia Ruofei interrupted Elon Musk directly.
Elon Musk is very puzzled by Xia Ruofei's decision. Is there anyone in this world who thinks he is too famous? He is engaged in the Internet and high-tech industry, and some concepts are deeply rooted. Sometimes a good news or even an illusory concept can double the market value of a technology company, so it is difficult for him to understand Xia Ruofei's low-key approach.
But since Xia Ruofei has made a decision, he will not object, after all, this is his freedom.
So, Elon Musk nodded and said, "No problem!"
Then he asked again: "Dr. Mannu, this confidentiality agreement..."
"We sign!" Manu said without hesitation.
Although he doesn't understand the "indifferent to fame and fortune" of Chinese people, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for him to be able to keep this high-paying job. As for signing the confidentiality agreement, there is no loss for him-even if he does not sign any Agreement, he is not willing to go around to help Xia Ruofei promote it.
Elon Musk nodded, took out his mobile phone and called his assistant to arrange the non-disclosure agreement first.
Elon Musk's company has many cutting-edge technologies, and confidentiality is the top priority. Such non-disclosure agreements have templates. It is not difficult to modify the terms based on the templates.
"Dr. Xia, I have already arranged it." Elon Musk said, "After the confidentiality agreement is ready, Dr. Manu and his team members will sign it as soon as possible!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
Manu felt that he was really ashamed to stay any longer, and took this opportunity to say: "Mr. Musk, then I will go to improve the treatment plan first!"
Elon Musk nodded and said: "Okay, thank you!"
Mannusheng took the team members out of the room without love, and he came in aggressively. He didn't expect that not only did he fail to expose the "liar", but he was slapped in the face, and in a blink of an eye, their high-end medical team became a backup , it is really heartbreaking...
Xia Ruofei said to Elon Musk: "Mr. Musk, regarding tinnitus, I must tell you that acupuncture can only treat symptoms..."
"Treating symptoms?"
Although Xia Ruofei tried his best to explain the two words of treating symptoms in English in an easy-to-understand way, Elon Musk obviously still didn't understand it very well.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Simply put, it can only play a relieving role."
"Ah?" Elon Musk was shocked. He didn't want to suffer from tinnitus anymore. "Then... that means such symptoms will appear again in the future? Can I do acupuncture every once in a while?"
"This is also possible, but it is still only a temporary solution rather than a root cause." Xia Ruofei said, "So if you want to completely solve this problem, you need to take traditional Chinese medicine."
Elon Musk breathed a sigh of relief, he thought this problem would never be cured!
He quickly said: "No problem! I will listen to Dr. Xia! You can treat it as you say!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, asked Elon Musk for paper and pen, and began to write on it. After a while, Xia Ruofei stopped writing, and then handed the paper to Elon Musk.
Elon Musk took it over and saw that it was all in Chinese. Although the font looked very elegant, even if he didn’t understand Chinese at all, he felt that such text was full of aura, but the key was that he didn’t know what the content was at all. !
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "This is a prescription, and it is some common Chinese medicine. You can send people to any Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown to make it easily. In addition, I also wrote the method of decocting medicine on it. Now Chinese medicine shops are all There is a decoction service, you just ask them to help you decoct the medicine. According to this prescription, take it three times a day after meals for seven consecutive days, basically the tinnitus problem can be cured.”
This prescription for treating tinnitus is not precious to Xia Ruofei, so he didn't deliberately keep it secret.
Of course, if the people in the Chinese medicine shop know the goods, it is quite valuable to record this prescription.
Elon Musk grabbed the piece of paper in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and then called the housekeeper over, asking him to go to Chinatown to grab the medicine as Xia Ruofei said just now.
He didn't even ask the housekeeper to take the prescription, but asked him to take a picture with his mobile phone, while he carefully put the prescription away.
Naturally, the housekeeper didn't dare to be negligent. After taking a photo of the prescription, he hurried to the nearby Chinatown to grab the medicine.
Elon Musk showed gratitude, and said: "Dr. Xia, thank you so much this time! Please take care of Dr. Xia for the follow-up treatment of Xiao X!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "You're welcome. There is a saying in the Huaxia TCM circle, which is called a doctor's parental heart. We will treat every patient as if we were our own children, and we will definitely do our best."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Elon Musk rubbed his hands and said, "I really don't know how to thank you! Originally, I wanted to help you promote your medical skills, but you don't want to publicize... How about it! Dr. Xia, no matter how little X's treatment is, I will pay you a medical fee that satisfies you..."
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "That's unnecessary. In terms of medical expenses, Mr. Li Yifu has already paid. I think...Mr. Musk, you should be very clear about Mr. Li's intentions in doing this."
Elon Musk froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Li Yifu, then at Xia Ruofei, he was not sure whether Xia Ruofei understood the "big deal" that Li Yifu talked with him.
Seeing this, Li Yifu smiled and said: "Mr. Musk, Dr. Xia is one of his own, and he knows much more than you think. Let's open the skylight and speak clearly."
Elon Musk heard the words, the hesitation on his face still hasn't completely faded, obviously he still has some concerns.
Li Yifu said with a smile: "Mr. Musk, Dr. Xia has no official background in Huaxia, you can rest assured about this. In addition, our transaction has nothing to do with Huaxia officials at all!"
Elon Musk nodded, and then whispered to Grimes: "Honey, go to the next door to see Little X!"
Grimes knew that Elon Musk was going to talk about something and it was not convenient for her to be there, so she nodded, bowed slightly to Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu, and left the room.
Elon Musk asked all irrelevant personnel to leave the room, leaving only him, Xia Ruofei, and Li Yifu.
Then, Elon Musk said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, you really gave me a big problem! The technology in the aerospace field is very sensitive, you should be very clear."
Li Yifu smiled and said, "Of course! However, rocket technology is relatively sensitive, and space survival equipment, including spaceships, must be relatively insensitive, isn't it?"
Rocket technology involves applications in the military field. Some long-range intercontinental missiles and launch vehicles are the same in principle.
In addition, heavy launch vehicle technology, especially rocket engine technology, is only in the hands of a few countries, and such technology must be strictly blocked.
Elon Musk said: "It's only relative! NASA is very strict with its own things. Even small technologies such as space food also have strict confidentiality procedures. SpaceX has obtained certain technologies from NASA. But we have all signed non-disclosure agreements, and if we violate them, my company will face very serious charges, and even I myself may face prison..."
Li Yifu opened his mouth, but Xia Ruofei stopped him with his eyes.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Mr. Musk, I think you are very clear that the equipment and equipment Mr. Li proposed to purchase will not pose any threat to your national security at all. And we also guarantee that these items will not be shipped out of the United States Presumably with the strength of the US intelligence agency, it is definitely impossible for us to transport such a large batch of things out of the country without anyone noticing, right?"
Xia Ruofei looked at Elon Musk and continued: "Besides, I think with Mr. Musk's strength, he should be able to easily erase all traces. Even if we are seized by the FBI and CIA, we will not be implicated in your company. .”
Elon Musk sighed and said: "Everything is unpredictable. SpaceX is at a critical stage. Once successful, our market value may double several times. There is really no room for mistakes! But it's over. So far..."
Xia Ruofei smiled, interrupted Musk, and said: "Mr. Musk, let's not talk about this matter first, let's treat the child first! Nothing is as important as the child's health now, right?"
Elon Musk showed a touch of emotion. He knew very well that although he was unlikely to renege on the debt in the end, after all, Li Yifu's strength should not be underestimated, but there is no doubt that now is the best time for Xia Ruofei and the others to bargain .
Xia Ruofei has proven his medical skills, and Xiao X is dying, waiting for Xia Ruofei to save his life.
But Xia Ruofei did not use this as a bargaining chip, and took the opportunity to negotiate the purchase of spacesuits and other equipment first. Instead, he proposed to treat the child first, which made Elon Musk feel a little warmth.
Elon Musk looked at Li Yifu subconsciously—he always thought that Li Yifu was in charge of this matter. Compared with Xia Ruofei, who was too young and a doctor, he thought that Xia Ruofei should not get involved too deeply.
However, Elon Musk saw that Li Yifu had stepped aside, and did not show displeasure at all because Xia Ruofei "made a decision without authorization". On the contrary, Li Yifu looked normal, as if it was a matter of course for Xia Ruofei to make a decision.
Elon Musk's observation ability is still very strong, and he immediately realized that he seemed to have to re-evaluate the young Dr. Xia.
"Mr. Musk!" Xia Ruofei's voice sounded again, "What do you think of my proposal?"
"Ah?" Elon Musk came back to his senses and said quickly, "Thank you Mr. Xia for your generosity! Please rest assured that Mr. Li's matter will soon come up with a solution that is beneficial and safe for both parties. I will definitely We will do our best to meet Mr. Li's needs!"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go! Let's go see the patient again!"
Heart-for-heart, if you give the other party enough kindness, the other side will naturally feel it, and also release the kindness.
Sometimes things in the world are like this, with a little more warmth, the effect may not be worse than tough measures.
Xia Ruofei, Li Yifu, and Elon Musk came to the next room, and Grimes was sitting next to the crib, staring blankly at Little X who was still asleep.
"Honey!" Grimes said softly, "Little X seems to be sleeping very soundly today. A few days ago, he was often woken up by pain in his sleep, and his little brows were always furrowed, but today they are relaxed. And there's a smile on the corner of his mouth!"
When Elon Musk saw his son, his eyes softened a lot. He leaned over and took a look, and said happily: "Really!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Maybe he knows that he will get rid of the pain soon, so he is laughing in his sleep!"
