34: Alzheimer's disease medications

The Xinghai Group headquarters, once a vibrant office space, now seemed somewhat dull.

Although the online public opinion had been completely suppressed, people who were indiscriminately attacked by jarvis, feeling frustrated, turned their aggression toward Xinghai's customer service hotline.

Lin Dong's way of dealing with this was to simply close the channels, adopting an "out of sight, out of mind" approach.

Employees from the Human Resources and Customer Service departments, having nothing to do, gathered in small groups in the rest area, their faces etched with confusion and anxiety.

“Sigh, when will these days end?”

Lily sat on a sofa near the window, gazing at the gray sky outside, feeling extremely depressed.

She was considered one of the first employees to join Xinghai, having personally witnessed Xinghai rise from nothing to its peak.

Yet now, Xinghai was deeply mired in difficulty, seemingly without any way out.

“Every time I open my phone now, the internet is full of people cursing Xinghai.”

“My parents called me yesterday, telling me to quit immediately because our neighbors were gossiping about me working at Xinghai.”

Group Leader gently stirred her coffee with a small spoon, appearing much calmer than Lily.

Her makeup was still immaculate, contrasting sharply with the company's oppressive atmosphere.

“Lily, please don't take it to heart. Those people online are just bandwagoners.”

“Our company benefits are so good. Maybe if we weather this period, the boss will even give us a bonus.”

Lily turned her head and sighed.

“Group Leader, you are truly optimistic.”

“Our company's reputation is ruined. Even if we resume production later, will anyone still buy our products?”

“Can't hold on?”

Group Leader chuckled softly.

“Lily, think carefully about our company's mysterious backer.”

“He was able to hire Academician Chen Guoyuan, and he developed a product like longevity water, which is like scooping up money with a sack.”

“I, for one, refuse to believe Xinghai has no backup plan.”

“I have no family or friends in the Magic City, so let anyone who wants to gossip behind my back do so; I can't hear them anyway.”

“As long as the company pays my salary normally, I'll stay put. I can't bear to leave such a great platform.”

Lily opened her mouth but ultimately swallowed her words.

The President's Office.

Jiang Zhonghua rubbed his temples; his lips were pale, and his dark circles were severe.

Zhang Kaiwen sat on a nearby sofa, still trying hard to counter the public opinion attacks coming from the internet.

“Old Jiang, is there any news from Academician Chen? Has the carbon nanotube t-4 project progressed?”

Jiang Zhonghua sighed deeply.

“I asked. It will take at least another half a year.”

Just then, Su Jin knocked on the President's Office door, holding a stack of documents.

“The R&D department has fully grasped the b7 catalase and can put it into production at any time.”

Jiang Zhonghua took the documents, quickly scanned them, and forced a smile.

Although this was good news, meaning Xinghai no longer had to worry about being stifled by supply,

the problem was that due to public opinion, the sales of Xinghai longevity water had already dropped by nearly 20%, excluding the medical system.

Su Jin tentatively asked,

“Is there any news from the boss?”

“No...”

Before he could finish, a special notification sound rang out from Jiang Zhonghua's computer.

“It's an email from the boss!”

Zhang Kaiwen and Su Jin's eyes lit up simultaneously, and they rushed toward the desk.

Jiang Zhonghua took a deep breath and clicked open the long-awaited email.

The body of the email contained only one line of text.

[You decide the product name. You have two hours. Immediately hold a press conference and have Academician Chen Guoyuan's team attend collectively.]

Below it was an encrypted attached compressed file labeled [Complete R&D Log for alzheimers disease Application Medicine].

The office fell into a deathly silence.

The single line of text exploded in the minds of the three people like a clap of thunder.

“alzheimers disease application medicine?”

Su Jin frowned, wondering if she had misread it.

If she hadn't misread it, she must still be dreaming.

alzheimers disease—that was a medical impossibility that top global pharmaceutical companies had spent trillions of funds and decades trying, yet failing, to fully conquer.

The muscles on Zhang Kaiwen's face twitched involuntarily, and his gaze fixed on the computer screen was filled with shock.

Jiang Zhonghua's breathing became heavy, and his brain raced, trying to process this completely unimaginable piece of information.

He did not rashly touch the compressed file, which implied the solution to a problem known as a global challenge in the medical field.

After all, he was just a businessman and wouldn't understand it anyway.

“The boss has given us a weapon that can shatter everything!”

Jiang Zhonghua immediately stood up, his back ramrod straight.

“Manager Su, immediately go and prepare a new production base.”

“Old Gun, mobilize every media resource you can. In two hours, I want to see the cameras of all global mainstream media focused on our Xinghai press conference.”

The three immediately split up and rushed out of the President's Office almost simultaneously.

Xinghai Material R&D Center.

Core laboratory area.

Jiang Zhonghua disregarded etiquette and rushed directly toward Academician Chen Guoyuan, who was contemplating a set of data.

He handed the USB drive containing the downloaded compressed file data to Chen Guoyuan's desk.

“Academician Chen, this is extremely urgent!”

“This is top-secret information the boss just sent over. Your team needs to immediately assess its feasibility.”

Chen Guoyuan raised an eyebrow, his curiosity immediately piqued. What project had the mysterious backer sent this time that made a company president so nervous?

When the file name [Complete R&D Log for alzheimers disease Application Medicine] popped up on the dedicated computer screen, all the researchers present were stunned.

Discussion immediately erupted, filled with skepticism about the document.

Only Chen Guoyuan remained completely convinced.

Weren't carbon nanotube t-4 and longevity water both products far ahead of their time?

The moment the compressed file was extracted and projected onto the screen,

the entire laboratory area instantly fell silent.

A professor specializing in molecular biology jogged forward, nearly pressing his face against the screen.

“How can this conformation remain stable?”

“But if the coenzyme mentioned below is used for support, it actually makes theoretical sense!”

“And this delivery mechanism.”

Zhou Qiming took a deep breath, his eyes wide, and exclaimed,

“This overall design looks like it was copied from the future!”

Whispers turned into fierce mutual discussions.

The scientists' faces were filled with complex emotions.

Confusion, shock.

As well as a sense of awe that arises when facing wisdom far beyond their own understanding.

“Verify! Immediately verify the in vitro activity data in Chapter Three!”

Chen Guoyuan's voice carried an almost imperceptible tremor.

The laboratory's most advanced simulation system was fully mobilized.

The final conclusion was that the data recorded in the document was completely accurate.

“Could this really be true?”

Jiang Zhonghua couldn't understand the headache-inducing data. At this moment, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, constantly lifting his hand to check his watch.

He finally seized a break in the discussion and interrupted, practically shouting,

“Academician Chen, everyone, the boss has instructions.”

Seeing that most people had turned their attention to him, Jiang Zhonghua spoke again in a hurried tone.

“A global press conference will be held in two hours. The boss requires you and the entire team to attend collectively to announce this achievement to the world.”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, instantly shocking the scientists out of their academic awe.

Only then did they remember that Xinghai was currently in a desperate situation, facing a matter of life and death.

Its reputation had completely collapsed, and the market was boycotting it.

Chen Guoyuan nodded slightly.

“Immediately optimize the document. We only need to present a portion of it.”

Jiang Zhonghua's hanging heart finally settled, followed by a rush of excitement that flushed his face bright red.

“The cars are downstairs. Let's go fight this battle to turn things around!”
