Chapter 561: Chapter 557: Richelie Dunn’s Strong Counterattack

Sonia Seaton nodded, “A sensible person would see that, not to mention it’s not your fault, even if it’s his previous student, he shouldn’t be responsible for his not being selected. However, there are always some people who are unreasonable. I’ll check tomorrow to see if this student with surname He has any connection with Mr. Gregory you mentioned.”

Afterward, the master and apprentice chatted a bit more about the children before hanging up the phone.

Early the next day, after Richelle Dunn washed up and had breakfast, she was getting ready to go to the research conference site.

Just after changing her clothes, she received a call from Sonia Seaton.

“Richelle, I checked. That student with the surname He is an East Asia Kindurian, and his elder brother is Mr. Gregory from the drug administration office.”

Richelle cursed in her heart, clearly they are seeking revenge.

What’s most hateful is that this revenge is completely unfounded, and she is completely innocent.

Richelle was so furious that she vowed in secret to stage a beautiful comeback later.

Of course, from the approval conditions listed by the drug administration office, her drug’s production sequence will probably be placed last.

However, thanks to Mr. Gregory’s sudden attack yesterday, which was meant to embarrass her, it unexpectedly gave Richelle a great opportunity to pave the groundwork in advance.

There were a total of twenty new drugs being applied for this time.

And before yesterday’s conference, the approval panel held preliminary voting anonymously.

Each reviewer has two votes, and the preliminary voting can be changed at any time. All reviewers can change the voting list at their discretion before the voting time ends.

As Richelle expected, the new drug named “Lin-Zheng-Yu” was ranked last among the twenty drugs, with only two votes.

When Mr. Gregory saw the vote rankings on the screen, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Richelle with a smile, and there was a hint of defiance and contempt in his eyes.

Richelle disliked this kind of person, so she didn’t respond to his provocation at all and focused on making meticulous revisions to her presentation script on her laptop.

Richelle was ranked fifteenth in the introduction and elaboration of the new drug functionality.

Richelle didn’t feel much about this order, but another pharmaceutical CEO who got acquainted with her at last night’s dinner felt a bit sorry for her.

“Mr. Dunn, this order is deliberately trying to make things difficult for you. Although it’s not the last, but being 15th, after hearing so many previous introductions, the evaluators’ minds and bodies will be fatigued, can they still make a fair judgment remains in question.”

Richelle didn’t really care.

“Either way is fine, I don’t think the order of presentation can cover up the value of the drug itself.”

Moreover, being at the fifteenth position gave her enough time to make targeted revisions and improvements based on the content of previous presenters.

Richelle sat calmly in her seat, listened to the presentations of the first fourteen speakers, then glanced at the latest order ranking on the big screen.

This time, it was even worse than the beginning: Lin-Zheng-Yu still ranked last, but the number of votes had dropped from two to just one.

As Richelle stood up and prepared for her presentation, most of the attendees cast sympathetic glances at her.

But the satisfaction on Mr. Gregory’s face became even more evident.

Richelle began to randomly elaborate on the purpose and efficacy of the drug’s development to the audience, neither arrogant nor humble.

“I believe everyone is very familiar with this drug named Lin-Zheng-Yu because it won a major breakthrough award a month ago. This globally pioneering new drug was developed over three years by a research team led by renowned expert Professor Sonia Seaton, targeting nearly ten million patients in the Third World. Many of these patients have been afflicted since birth, and will remain so until their death.”

“Of course, our Federation of East Asia has joined the ranks of developed countries decades ago, so there are no cases of the disease in our country.”

“But as I mentioned yesterday, with the intense competition in the industry, since only Lin-Zheng-Yu among the twenty new drugs today is a completely innovative drug and irreplaceable worldwide, can we assume that the profit cycle of this drug can be extended significantly?”

“On the other hand, being one-of-a-kind and having no competitive alternatives worldwide, the mass export of this drug will surely lead to a substantial increase in foreign trade.”

“On the third hand, although it is a completely new product, our group has already developed a series of derivative products for it, which will greatly expand its lifespan.”

“Lastly, as a developed country, shouldn’t we consider the bigger picture before our own interests? Once this drug is mass-produced, all patients afflicted with this disease will benefit directly. This could be an excellent diplomatic means for the East Asian government to establish friendly relations with its allies. I believe that all people and governments who benefit from this drug will become friends and allies with East Asia!”

After Richelle finished her speech, the conference room was filled with silence once again, just like yesterday, followed by a lasting round of enthusiastic applause..
