After he finished, Director Wang turned to Song Ning.
"I also owe you my thanks, Song Ning! You've shown me how much more is possible in medicine!

It was the experience and findings that countless medical pioneers like Director Wang had painstakingly explored and compiled!

It came from her faith in the advanced medical technology of decades later!
