Liang forced his anger and nodded, saying seriously, “I admit that Western medicine, as the most mainstream treatment in the world, has indeed contributed greatly to the entire human society, but this is not the basis for you to completely deny Oriental medicine.”
After saying that, he asked Smith rhetorically, “I wonder if Mr. Smith has heard about a well-known entrepreneur in China who suffered from advanced pancreatic cancer some time ago, but has now been completely cured?”
Smith said disdainfully, “How is that possible? It’s the biggest joke in medical history that terminal pancreatic cancer can be cured!”
“Don’t you tell me that this patient was cured by Oriental medicine?”
“That’s right!” Liang said with his head held high: “The advanced pancreatic cancer, for which all Western doctors had pronounced a death sentence, was cured by Eastern medicine!”
Smith sneered coldly, “You’re just kidding me! I have been studying in the medical field for more than twenty years, and do I look so much like a retard in your eyes?”
Liang took out two boxes of JX Renewing Pills prepared long ago, put them on the table, and said to Smith:
“Mr. Smith, this is the JX Renewing Pill we just developed, this medicine is specially developed for cancer,”
“It has a very good treatment effect on cancer, even for terminal cancer patients, as long as they take this medicine, they can maintain their lives, and long-term use can even cure it!”
Saying that, Liang raised the volume a few points, said firmly: “If you do not believe, you can find terminally ill cancer patients to try,”
“With your medical level, as long as a volunteer is willing to try to take one, you will also be able to see the changes in his body, at that time, you will know whether I am joking with you or not!”
Smith’s expression gradually cold down, pulled the tie, eyes stared at Liang, sternly said: “Listen, I do not mind someone spends 30,000 dollars to shout me out for a meal,”
“Also do not mind sitting here to listen to you talk like cow sh!t all night, but you do not joke about terminal cancer patients in front of me!”
At this point, Smith’s expression twisted a little as he yelled down, “My son! My sweet, twelve-year-old son! From the time he was found to have a glioma five years ago, he has undergone multiple open-heart surgeries and has now progressed to stage four!”
“In these five years, he has suffered what many people can’t even finish in their lifetime!”
“And I, too, have used all the best treatments that I could find in this world!”
“It is because of those top medical technologies that he has been able to survive until today!”
“Otherwise, he might have left me three years ago!”
“So, if you promise to put away your junk medicine of unknown origin, and in addition, from now on, not to mention any more words about terminal cancer patients, I can keep my gentlemanly demeanor and sit here with you to finish this meal!”
“Otherwise, I’m leaving right now!”
“And I won’t refund you a single cent of your thirty thousand dollars!”
