“Are you feeling unwell?” Huang Li asked in a low voice.
I nodded silently.
"Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable?" Huang Li immediately took out a small notebook, as excited as if she had discovered a new world.
I glanced at Han Mengyao who was not far away, and made sure she was not looking here, and then I lowered my voice and said, "I'm a little bloated!"
I immediately understood that it was really inconvenient to check in the living room, and she dragged me into an empty room.
“Let me check.” She said to me.
I thought to myself that I had no privacy with Huang Li anyway, so I cooperated with her to check: "Teacher Huang, will there be any problems with my situation?"
A bunch of random thoughts suddenly flashed through my mind: I am still so young. If I am really useless, how will I be able to marry and have children in the future?
Huang Li checked attentively: "Don't think too much. This is a normal reaction, which means the drug is working."
She said, suddenly showing a meaningful smile, "Look, the effect is stronger than expected."
"It's okay!" I was relieved.
After a while, Huang Li looked at her cell phone: "It's time to go to the competition site. We'll keep an eye on your situation. We have relief medicine in our laboratory..."
Before she could finish, I quickly interrupted: "It should be fine, I feel much better now." I was frightened when I heard the word "medicine", but I didn't dare to take the medicine Huang Li gave me again.
“Okay, let’s go to the competition venue first!” Huang Li stood up and straightened her clothes.
It didn't take long for a group of us to arrive at the competition venue, where many contestants had already gathered.
The competition site has been transformed into a high-standard international biomedical competition venue.
The entrance is hung with the national flags of participating countries on both sides. Many participating teams from universities around the world are preparing intensively.
The judges' seat is set up on a high platform in front of the audience, and more than a dozen experts from internationally renowned pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions are looking through the materials.
The first thing to take the stage was the nano-targeted drug delivery system being demonstrated by the MIT team.
I was sitting in the auditorium bored, and if it weren’t for accompanying Han Mengyao, I would be too lazy to come to such a serious academic occasion.
Looking around, there are indeed many young ladies in formal attire, all of them intellectual and elegant.
It’s a pity that in my current situation, I have to weigh it before I even take another look.
"What a waste of money!" I just finished muttering in a low voice when my phone suddenly vibrated.
I looked down at the caller ID, which made me a little confused: "Shen Rou? Why is she looking for me?"
I quickly found a quiet corner and answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Chen Hao! Do you know how miserable you have been?" Shen Rou's cry-like roar came from the other end of the phone.
"What do you mean I've caused you misery?" I'm a little confused.
"I have been fired from the company now, are you satisfied now?" Shen Rou's voice was filled with accusations.
I immediately understood that the party she had with a foreigner had been revealed.
"Your business has nothing to do with me," I was speechless.
The one I reported was Li Xin. As for Shen Rou, it was Li Xin who turned her in.
Hence the phone was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly Shen Rou's hysterical roar came: "Now that many people know it, what do you want me to do in the future?"
H "Did I force you to do those bad things of yours?" I asked with a sneer.
"I don't owe you anything." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
What a lunatic. He wants to die but still relies on me.
I put the phone back into my pocket irritably, and looked up just in time to see Huang Li.
“Are you okay?” she walked over and asked softly.
"It's okay, I encountered an unreasonable person." Just as he was about to say a few more words, a notice suddenly sounded on the radio that the game was about to start.
"Let's go, you have to sit in the audience. Mengyao will be nervous if I don't see you." Huang Li came to see me because of this.
I nodded, and Huang Li and I returned to the auditorium and sat down.
Han Mengyao on the stage glanced nervously at the audience. It wasn't until she saw me sitting down that she took a deep breath of relief and started her speech.
"The drug developed by our team is called Blue Dali Pill. Once this research is successful, it will be good news for the majority of male patients!"
Han Mengyao's explanation was vivid and smooth, but the judges' reactions were quite dull.
After all, there are many similar drugs on the market, and this topic really lacks novelty.
I noticed that one of the judges even quietly yawned.
Han Mengyao finished her fifteen-minute presentation and walked off the stage feeling a little disappointed.
Huang Li immediately stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, this is just the preliminary round, there will be a semi-final later."
"Yeah," I also leaned over to comfort her.
"The effect of the medicine you are studying is indeed quite powerful." When I said the last few words, I was embarrassed to say any more.
Isn't it? The fact that I still feel a dull pain is the best proof.
This medicine is not only powerful, it is simply too strong.
Han Mengyao smiled reluctantly: "Thank you. But I don't think the judges are very interested!"
"Don't rush to conclusions," Huang Li was much calmer.
Looking at the other participating teams that came on stage one after another, "If no company is willing to invest in this competition, it will be difficult for our project to continue."
I realized then that this research is very important to them. So important: "Perhaps a representative from a pharmaceutical company will come to you later to discuss cooperation?"
As we were talking, a middle-aged man in a dark blue suit came towards us. The name tag on his chest showed that he was the R&D director of an international pharmaceutical company.
The man asked in accented English: "Are you the research team of Blue Dali Pill? I am very interested in your research data!"
Huang Li obviously didn’t expect that a pharmaceutical company would actually come to her door.
But when she heard the conditions offered by the other party, she felt a little disappointed in her eyes.
"One million to buy out all the data at the current stage?" Huang Li did not expect to give such a plan.
"With all due respect, this price is not even enough for the R&D costs we invested in the early stage."
The director smiled professionally: "Professor Huang, you have to understand that this is only a preliminary research result, and subsequent development is very risky!"
I shook my head as I listened. These businessmen were indeed shrewd. They realized that the student team was in urgent need of funds and wanted to pick up the missing funds at a low price.
Huang Li's attitude was very firm: "No need, the value of our research is far more than this amount. If your company is not sincere, let's stop here."
Huang Li waited until the director walked away, then lowered her voice and explained: "Half of the property rights of this project belong to the school, and I have no power at all. I decided to sell it alone. "
"But there is a good side. Since there are companies interested, it means that our research direction is right. After I return to school, I will apply for additional funds from the Scientific Research Office."
"It was not until the afternoon that the first round of presentations in all universities was finally completed.
After returning to the villa, I couldn't bear the swelling pain that I had endured all day, so I had to bite the bullet and go find Huang Li.
I knocked on her door: "Teacher Huang, can you give me one of the relief medicine you mentioned before?"
