Shi Wenna's attention to Chen Andong is obviously not only because of Chen Andong's medical skills, but more meaningful. However, Shi Wenna is not an ordinary housewife. She speaks very skillfully, which makes Chen Andong feel that she is just having sex with him.

"Little Yu said that your parents are all doctors in your family, so where are they working now?" Shi Wenna asked casually.

Chen Andong didn't care, so he casually told the situation at home, "My parents opened a clinic in the town."

"Oh, this is great. Working in a clinic at home is much more free than working in a hospital." Shi Wenna glanced at Qiao Yu.

"Auntie, why did you ask Xiaodong so much? Are you trying the prisoner?" Qiao Yu was unhappy.

"Talking nonsense. Aunty isn't you very curious about Xiaodong? Such a good medical skills must have been passed down by family education." Shi Wenna naturally couldn't ask any further.

The charity party is very charitable. The most popular thing is not the program, but the process of donating money. In the past, when there was a disaster, I would have a disaster relief party and invited many big-name stars. As a result, the charity money collected from the party was not enough to pay for the expenses of the party. Later, the charity party was strictly managed. Moreover, the restrictions on charity performances became increasingly strict. Artists participating in charity performances could not charge appearance fees.

All the artists participating in this charity party held by Baigong City are voluntary performances. This charity party was initiated by a public welfare fund for rare diseases. Rare diseases refer to diseases with very low prevalence and rare diseases. The World Health Organization defines rare diseases as diseases or diseases that account for between 0.65% and 1% of the total population. Currently, there are 5,000 to 6,000 rare diseases, accounting for about 10% of human diseases. About 80% of rare diseases are caused by genetic defects. 50% of rare diseases can occur in childhood. Rare diseases are generally chronic and severe diseases. They often affect multiple systems throughout the body. There are nearly 10 million rare diseases in my country.

Most rare diseases do not have effective treatment methods. Since patients with rare diseases were largely excluded from drug research and development 25 years ago, drugs for treating rare diseases are called "orphan drugs". It usually takes an average of 10 years from the discovery of a new compound to the drug being launched on the market, with R&D costs as high as several million to hundreds of millions of dollars, and more than 90% of R&D drugs end in failure. Even if the drug enters the third phase of the human clinical trial, there is still a 30% chance of failure. And because it is rare

Seeing that there is limited awareness of diseases, low diagnosis rate, high misdiagnosis rate, lack of reliable clinical endpoint indicators, doctors have limited levels of diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases, patients are scattered, clinical trials are difficult to coordinate, and clinical trials of rare diseases are more complex than trials of other diseases. Therefore, without a special incentive mechanism, no drug company is willing to invest in research on rare diseases. Due to insufficient social attention, there are few researchers and institutions focusing on rare diseases. Animal models related to rare diseases and cell lines are even more limited.

The purpose of this charity party is to raise medical expenses for patients suffering from rare diseases and develop drugs for the treatment of rare diseases.

Due to the nature of the party, it is completely different from the general party format. Chen Andong and Qiao Yu entered the party scene together. Rather than the party scene, it is more like a party scene. All the guests and artists participating in the performance sat in the lobby of the same hotel. Most of the people who can participate in such charity parties are well-known people in Baigong City. Among them, there are also young people of the same age as Chen Andong.

Qiao Yu, who changed into a gorgeous performance costume, was even more eye-catching, making Chen Andong, who was wearing ordinary performance costumes beside him pale. Qiao Yu even regretted that she shouldn't have worn such gorgeous performance costumes. At this time, she would rather wear extremely ordinary clothes and walk on the street with Chen Andong.

"Ms. Qiao. Hello, I am Wang Zheng, the president of Daxiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and I am very happy to meet Miss Qiao here. I am a loyal fan of Miss Qiao. I think that being a person cannot be successful in career. More importantly, we must have a kind heart to repay society. At this charity party, our company donated a sum of funds to save these patients suffering from diseases. As a biotechnology practitioner, I have more knowledge about these rare diseases than ordinary people..." Wang Zheng is an outstanding young entrepreneur in Baigong City. He started his business at a young age and founded Daxiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. In five years, the company started its own business from the initial one million funds, and has now developed into a company with assets of over 10 million and annual profits of over one million.

"I admire your kindness very much." Qiao Yu knew that this person was here to chat with him, but he could not refuse.

Wang Zheng was even more happy when he heard Qiao Yu say this: "Where is it? Miss Qiao has been lucky enough to come to Baigong City to participate in charity activities. This kind of sentiment is worth learning from in the entertainment industry. In my opinion, Miss Qiao is many times stronger than those so-called big stars who are sick and free of illness..."

"Sorry, I have to go over and confirm the program to perform in the evening." Qiao Yu interrupted Wang Zheng's words, then reached out to hold Chen Andong's hand, "Xiaodong, come with me."

Wang Zheng looked at Chen Andong holding hands with Qiao Yu with unique meaning.

The host appeared and said with a look on his face as soon as he came on stage: "Diseases are ruthless, and people are affectionate. The main purpose of our charity party is to awaken people's care for a group of people around us who are easily overlooked. Rare diseases are often called "orphan disease". Because among humans, only a very small number of people suffer from such diseases... Next, I want to introduce someone to everyone. This old man is already 80 years old this year. However, she just told me that he wants to live to be one hundred years old."

When the host said this, everyone found it strange. It is normal for them to be sick, but what is the connection with "orphan disease"? People in their 80s have their physical functions constantly declining, and it is normal for them to be sick. I don't deny that she may have something worthy of pity, but is it really appropriate to use her to deceive tears?

The host didn't know whether to deliberately cheer the audience's appetite or what was going on. In short, she deliberately paused for a while before continuing: "She wanted to continue to live, not because she was afraid of death. She told me that she had lived to be eighty years old and had enough, but her daughter was not alive. Her daughter was named Xiao Hong, a patient with ALS. Like other ALS patients, she needed to cut her esophagus or perform gastrostomy surgery, and she relied on nutrient solution to maintain her life, and the lung muscles would also atrophy and stop breathing. How many patients with ALS patients would
