Chapter 56: The Arrival of Xu Haitian

  After leaving Huzhou, Song Jian felt much more at ease. With this gene sequence, the next steps would be much easier to handle.

  Cancer cells' suicidal gene is actually a defensive mechanism of human body cells.

  Every cell in the human body is undergoing a process of division, growth, division, growth and death. In this process of division, some cells will escape death and continue to divide and grow without restriction, which are tumor cells. If these tumor cells lose their adhesion and can spread at any time, it's cancer.

  In fact, even in normal people, among the tens of billions of cells that are dividing and dying, there will always be some cells that escape death programs and rapidly divide without restriction. At this time, the suicide gene inside normal human cells will be activated, causing cell lysis.

  Cancer patients, or the suicide gene in cancer cells, failed to initiate normally, which led to the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells.

  Currently, the mainstream methods for treating cancer cells are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and waiting to die. Yes, using these methods, it is fundamentally impossible to cure cancer. What hospitals say about having a certain probability of curing cancer is actually not possible at all, even if it's early-stage cancer.

  Cancer, also known as malignant tumor, is a type of tumor cell that rapidly and uncontrollably divides, with low adhesion between cells. In the early stages of growth, it has already spread, making surgery fundamentally unable to completely cure cancer.

  In hospitals, so-called surgical cures for cancer are actually benign tumor patients. Benign tumor cells do not spread and grow at a slower rate, posing less harm to the human body.

  As for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, they are like biochemical weapons that directly destroy the body's defense system.

  The destruction of the ecological environment and the change in sleep patterns have led to a geometric increase in the number of cancer patients, while Song Jian holds in his hand a key that may completely cure cancer.

  But this key is too heavy, at least for now, Song Jian can't use it.

  Because even if there is a cancer cell suicide gene sequence, it is impossible to directly use this information to manufacture reliable cancer drugs. Gene drugs require a lot of money and experimentation, need to create a gene carrier, test the reaction after the carrier enters human cells, ensure that the genes on the carrier can be normally expressed in human cancer cells... and so on. In short, obtaining the gene sequence is just the beginning.

  At that time, Song Jian's parents spent three years researching cancer drugs and exhausted their assets without success, which also shows how complex it is to develop gene drugs.

  For the current Song Jian, it's not very useful, but for a world-class biopharmaceutical company, the information in Song Jian's hands is an invaluable treasure! An endless treasure trove! Because those pharmaceutical companies have the ability to manufacture real cancer drugs based on this information.

  Song Jian was very clear about all this.

  After leaving Tiger Hill, Song Jian and Li Mengya parted ways.

  As he got on the car, Song Jian drove home while thinking about the gene sequence in his hand. This thing was both a treasure and a bomb at the same time.

  Entering Jinxiu Home Garden, a imported Bentley is parked in front of his house.

  Song Jian furrowed his brow, knowing that a major client had arrived. In the country, those who can afford Bentleys are not ordinary people.

  The car was parked well, and upon entering the living room, a burst of laughter came through.

  When Song Jian entered the door, Xu Si came up to welcome him, handed him a pair of slippers and whispered, "My grandfather has arrived."

  Xu Si's grandfather is Xu Haitian, the chairman of the Xu Group.

  Song Jian nodded and said, "I'm not nervous."

  Xu Si glanced at Song Jian, then went back to continue chatting with Xu Haitian. Of course, Xia Lin was also there, Xia Lin being Xu Haitian's granddaughter. Xia Lin's mother was named Xu Ruyun, who was Xu Si's aunt.

  Song Jian changed into slippers and took a look at Xu Haitian, who had a long face, a clean complexion, no beard, and was a spirited old man.

  "Hello Chairman," Song Jian greeted Xu Haitian.

  "Song Jian, you're back! Haha, I was just waiting for you to have dinner together," said Xu Haitian with a bright and cheerful voice.

  Song Jian smiled and saw Xu Si's waist wrapped in a apron, then said: "I'll go help Xu Si cook."

  Xia Lin leaned on Xu Haitian's shoulder and laughed: "Uncle, you're really not afraid of the scene. I thought you'd be so scared when you see my grandfather that your whole body would tremble."

  Xu Haitian glared at Xia Lin, "I'm not a tiger, why would I make Song Jian tremble?"

  Xia Lin burst out laughing.

  Xu Haitian stood up and said: "Song Jian, come upstairs with me, I have something to talk to you about."

  Song Jian followed Xu Haitian to the second floor and entered a study in the middle, which was where Xu Si usually worked. Apart from books, there was also a desk with a computer on it, and an office chair in front of it.

  Entering the study, Song Jian casually closed the door behind him.

  Xu Haitian sat down in the boss's chair, let out a sigh and said: "Song Jian, can you guess what I'm going to say?"

  Song Jiandao said: "Please, Chairman, speak clearly."

  "Alright, I'll be straightforward then. To be honest, Song Jian, I didn't expect you to survive, or rather, I hoped you wouldn't." Xu Haitian said directly.

  Song Jian's expression didn't change, as if he had expected Xu Haitian to say that. "Chairman, no matter what, thank you for letting Xu Si take me in when I was wandering the streets all those years ago."

  "That wasn't my intention, I'm a businessman. If it weren't for someone asking me to do this, I think the most likely thing I would have done at that time is watch you die from your addiction." Xu Haitian didn't hide anything either.

  "It's Yun Kong Fa Shi," Song Jian had just seen Yun Kong today, he already knew that whether it was Lin Bao or Xu Haitian, they had all received instructions from Yun Kong Fa Shi.

  Xu Haitian's expression changed slightly, "Have you seen Master Yun Kong?"

  Song Jian nodded.

  Xu Haitian nodded and said, "Being able to get along with Master Yun Kong is indeed a good opportunity for your Song family. Well, today I'll just speak frankly, Song Jian, you're very good, and I have a high opinion of you. When I helped facilitate your marriage to Xu Si back then, aside from other considerations, the most important reason was that I knew you were exceptional - steady, studious, and without the bad habits of ordinary young masters. However, regarding the calamity that befell your family, all I can say is sorry. As a businessman, profit is what matters most."

  "Do you want to ruin the marriage?" Song Jian turned around and looked at Xu Haitian, his face without a hint of mockery.

  Xu Haitian stood up, sighed and said: "Xu Si is my precious granddaughter, the apple of my eye. I hope she can take over the Xu Group. If it were ten years ago, when faced with this situation today, I would have followed through with the marriage arrangement and let Xu Si marry you, complete the wedding ceremony. At that time, I was in power, as long as Xu Si was happy, I didn't care about my son-in-law's wealth. But now it's different, now I'm old, on the surface I'm still the chairman of the Xu Group, with a net worth of hundreds of millions and unlimited glory, but actually, the board of directors has already split apart, I can no longer control it."

  Song Jian understood Xu Haitian's meaning, "So you want Xu Si to marry a wealthy heir."

  Xu Haitian said: "Yes, there must be more than 15 billion funds injected to ensure that Xu Si'an can take over the Xu Group smoothly. Otherwise, if one is not careful, the entire board of directors will collapse, and the Xu Group... Hehe..."

  He let out two mournful laughs and said, "The Xu Corporation is finished."

  Song Jian just smiled lightly.

  Xu Haitian continued, "I know this is unfair to you. In the past when your Song family was at its peak, I was the one who proposed this marriage. Now that your family has fallen on hard times, I'm going back on my word, which is really despicable. But I'm a businessman, and I don't want to see my life's work, the Xu Si Group, destroyed in an instant. So please understand."

  Song Jianmu stood there, thought for a moment, and said: "You can discuss this matter with Xu Si. If she is willing to cancel the engagement, I naturally won't stay here. If she's not willing, sorry, Chairman, you have no right to decide our fate for the second time."

  Xu Haitian turned to look at Song Jian and said, "Can't you think for Xu Si for once? If you let go, she will take over the Xu Group smoothly and even integrate external assets to create a new glory."

  Song Jian chuckled and shook his head, saying: "Chairman, is the Xu Group that important? More important than your granddaughter's happiness for a lifetime?"

  Xu Haitian also smiled, "Young man, you're wrong. The Xu Group is important, but my granddaughter's happiness is even more important. However, I'm quite certain that if my granddaughter marries the heir of the Hongyuan Group or another conglomerate's heir, the path she'll take will be much smoother. Wouldn't that make her happier than marrying you?"

  Song Jian shook his head, "Sorry, you're the chairman, but Xu Si is my direct supervisor. If she fires me, I'll leave. She didn't say anything, and I won't let go."

  "You...". Xu Haitian looked at Song Jian, "What do you want? Just say it."

  Song Jian leaned against the door, "Chairman, please put away your businessman's suit, you should know that in this world, apart from transactions and interests, there are other things, such as affection, gratitude, and so on."

  Xu Haitian's old face turned red for a moment, and he said: "You will naturally understand later that only interests are unchanging. Of course, I have discussed it with Xu Si, but this child is too stubborn, saying that since it was decided at the beginning, we should follow it. Song Jian, now the initiative is in your hands, you can take the initiative to propose a breach of contract, and I think my granddaughter will be very happy."

  Song Jian smiled and said, "That would disappoint the chairman, I won't propose a dissolution of contract."

  Having said that, Song Jian turned around and was about to leave.

  "Song Jian! In four years, my term will be over. Do you really want to personally destroy Xu Si's happiness and the Xu Group?" Xu Haitian's voice was full of emotion, with a hint of pleading.

  Song Jian paused for a moment, then walked down the stairs in big strides without looking back.
