Chapter 2301
“Your worries have been settled now, so just eat," said Luke.
Luca had to stop bringing it up as she knew that talking about it more did not mean that he would takeaction.
The lunch break was over.
Luca then prepared for the meeting about the drug launch with the researchers.
Before the meeting started, she scanned through the data and found out that it was much better thanexpected.
Most of it was Shank's blood, sweat, and tears, so of course, it would work out well.
Just as Luca entered the meeting room, Zoey came over to report, "Dr. Craw, there's an importantmeeting at Watson that you have to attend."
"When?" She asked.
"An hour from now," Zoey replied.
"So urgent?" Luca frowned as one hour was just enough time for her to get there. If it was really animportant meeting, they would have notified her in advance.
Without any advance notice, it was just an urgent meeting at most.
Luca then linked this meeting to the phone call she received from the general manager this afternoon.
"Yes, I told you right after I received Ms. Stone's notice," Zoey said resignedly. Watson seemed to be allover the place, unlike T Corporation which was always orderly whether it be work or othermiscellaneous things.
"Alright, I got it," said Luca as she looked at the researchers in the meeting room. "My apologies,everyone. You can work on other stuff for the time being. The meeting will have to be delayed, and I'llhave Ms. Davis notify you all then."
The researchers nodded their heads and left with their files.
Luca said to Rhett, "Mr. Link, come with me."
"Okay, Dr. Craw." Rhett nodded.
Luca and Rhett went downstairs together, and when they got to the parking lot, Warren was alreadywaiting for them in the car.
Luca was surprised as she had just informed Warren. He said that he would arrive in 10 minutes, but ithas not even been 10 minutes yet.
Had he always been close by?
“Dr. Craw, please get in." Warren saw her and Rhett walking over, and he opened the door to thebackseat.
Luca sat in the car and noticed the seat was warm unlike the freezing weather outside as if the heaterin the car had been turned on for a while.
After Rhett sat in the passenger seat, the three of them rushed to Watson.
After they reached Watson, Luca and Rhett went up to the laboratory floor.
She walked in and noticed that Dr. Linwood and the others were already inside waiting for them.
Luca glanced at the time on her watch. She was not late.
"Good afternoon," she subtly greeted the people in the meeting room.
"Dr. Craw, you're here." Dr. Linwood greeted her first, and when she sat down, he sat beside hersmilingly. "Dr. Craw, we heard that the data for phase three of clinical trials for your research is out?"
"Yes, it came out today." Luca opened the laptop.
"How are the results?" Dr. Linwood showed concern.
"It's much better than predicted," Luca answered his question without telling him any additionalinformation.
"That's impressive. The drug must be really effective. Once it's on the market, it'll be really beneficial tomankind," Dr. Linwood praised. Many of their clinical trial data were far from their expectations, andthey barely met the listing requirements.
However, Luca's research had surpassed expectations.
All the professors present knew about the prediction as they had been secretly discussing Luca's reportsince the very beginning.
They thought this research would not succeed.
Now, not only did she develop the drug, but it passed all three phases of the clinical trials and evenexceeded the expected digits.
Luca listened to his compliments while unfazed.
These compliments came with a bit of sincerity, a touch of envy, and even some jealousy.
She did not think it was anything impressive as all the early efforts came from Shanks anyway. Sheonly joined afterward to lead the team in the research.
With the groundwork laid out, it made everything after it much easier.
Hence, Luca did not think there was anything to be proud of.
Her skills were far from Shanks.
Dr. Linwood added, "Dr. Craw, did you bring the report for phase three of clinical trials? I'm reallycurious about the data in it."
"Dr. Linwood, are you the one who's curious, or is the general manager who's curious?" Luca asked.While they were talking, the rest of the professors had entered the meeting room, but the generalmanager was nowhere to be seen.
Luca reckoned that he was observing from afar.novelbin
Dr. Linwood was taken aback. "Isn't that the same? Everyone is curious about how excellent yourreport is. We've been doing research for so many years, but we've never seen a report as outstandingas yours, so we want to take a look at it."
"I'm sorry, Dr. Linwood. Just think of me as overly cautious, but I won't disclose the report until the drughas been patented and listed," Luca outright rejected him.
Dr. Linwood was a little upset. Although he had not achieved much in the company, he was much morewell-known in the industry compared to Luca.
Yet, she dared to reject him. The report was not an important top-secret document either.
"Dr. Craw, if you don't want to, forget it. We were just curious," said Dr. Linwood.
"It's just a phase three clinical trials report, so it's indeed not some top-secret document. After the Dr.Albus case, I'm worried the drug will fail to apply for a patent and can't be marketed, so it's best to keep
the data a secret for now. Otherwise, if something happens, we need to expand the scope of theinvestigation," Luca said to Dr. Linwood.
What happened to Dr. Albus was a lesson for them too.
Dr. Albus had shown the data to several of them because he was facing difficulties, and during thattime, all of them became suspects.
It made everyone panic.
Dr. Linwood was stunned as she had a point.
She kept the data confidential not because she was petty but because it was a safety measure toprevent it from getting stolen.
He was the one to blame for listening to the advice of others.
Dr. Linwood hurriedly said, "You're right. I shouldn't have asked you for it no matter how curious I was.I'll ask you again after you've applied for the patent."
"By then, I can even show you the whole research report," Luca said while looking toward thesurveillance camera in the meeting room.
"Okay, it's a deal." After finishing his words, Dr. Linwood returned to his seat.
There were not many people around Luca, so Rhett leaned closer and whispered, "Dr. Craw, it seemslike many people are interested in the clinical trials data..."
"That's not it. In fact, it has always been just one person," Luca said. The general manager came inlate.
