But I still can't be completely sure.

At this moment, a bald strong man suddenly appeared, "gazed affectionately" at me, and shed two streams of hot tears—

Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart.

If I remember correctly, back in Wildfire Territory, Falk also cried when he first tasted Celestial Mountain Water.

This is undoubtedly the highest praise for my product!

Yet on the other hand, Andrew felt a strong urge to flip the table!

"Damn it... What's there to cry about!

Even if you must cry, don't look at me like this while crying, okay? My hair is standing on end!"

Andrew forcibly suppressed the impulse to punch the other's face, "Damn, what's up with these Warm Fire Commerce Association men? Are they all this emotional? Yet the women in the association are tougher, like that fat aunt Susan, and Barbara's mom!"

Actually, crying isn't a big deal.

But at least say something specific!

Don't cry for ages and then end up saying my product is not up to par, then I'd be the one crying...

Andrew's lips twitched twice, and he instinctively leaned his upper body slightly back, dryly laughing as he asked, "So... how are my four products?"

As the saying goes, even cooked ducks can fly; before getting confirmation from the other party, Andrew still didn't dare to be 100% sure he'd passed the review!

"Sorry, sorry, I lost my composure." Jin wiped his tears and was about to answer.

"—Mr. Jin."

The chairwoman's voice, gentle yet indifferent, spoke again, "You are a direct subordinate of my husband, and the chief review officer of all 'cooperative sites' under our commerce association. You wouldn't purposely give any unfair evaluations, right."

Upon hearing this, Andrew realized that Jin in front of him was not part of the lady's faction but rather the chairman's!

Only to see the chairwoman sitting up straight, staring at Jin: "I trust Mr. Jin's reputation and character; that's why I allowed you to do the review work. Now you cried? Isn't this a bit exaggerated? With such behavior, I find it hard to believe you can make a completely fair assessment."

She spoke slowly, and by the end, the kindness and warmth on her face gradually disappeared, leaving a chilling edge in her words!

From the chairwoman's perspective, she originally felt assured about Jin being the review officer.

Unlike Andrew, she had known Jin for so many years and understood him well.

He's a professional to the point of being almost pedantic!

Though knowing well that Jin was on her husband's side, she still believed that Jin, when it came to reviews, would make fair judgments even if his allegiance leaned towards her husband. That's the Jin she knew.

Until Jin shed tears.

At that moment, although Jin had his back to the chairwoman and theoretically wouldn't be seen crying, as a Tier Nine strong person allied with the Magic Tower, what could escape her notice in this grand hall?

The issue is, even the chairwoman had never seen this side of Jin.

Thinking, even if this kid's products are good, are they good enough to be moved to tears right then and there?

The chairwoman temporarily didn't think Andrew's products were particularly outstanding; her gentle face vanished, lips curled into a slight cold smile: "Did my husband instruct you to favor this kid? Are you saying all his products are up to standard?"

Andrew remained silent.

While Jin took a breath and turned around.

This time, Jin didn't avoid the chairwoman's gaze but faced it head-on, speaking in a deep voice, "It has nothing to do with the chairman. In fact, I truly find it challenging to make a completely fair assessment! I... I'm not even sure how to evaluate them!

The most conservative estimate is that each of these four products is at least A-level! As for the Snickers, its tier might reach SS-level, or even the highest SSS-level beyond SS-level, is not impossible!"

Jin finally revealed his review conclusions.

Word by word.

With each sentence, the chairwoman's expression grew darker.

From Jin's attitude and tone, she understood and could see: Andrew's products are genuinely good, not because Jin gave him a shortcut! But... but how is this possible? Three at least S-class, and one possibly achieving SSS-class?

At this moment, the chairwoman's face turned grim, unable to maintain the previous facade of warmth! Her beautiful eyes, much like Barbara's but lifeless, rarely showed surprise and disbelief.

She didn't quite understand Jin enough.

Or better yet, unlike her husband, the Warm Fire Commerce Association chairman, who truly understood the type of person Jin was.

Jin is pure.

During previous reviews, he always kept a calm demeanor, not because he intentionally hid his thoughts, but because, in his opinion, before making a thorough, comprehensive, and cautious final evaluation, no preliminary conclusion should be made, even if the products seem good; he'd always maintain a degree of skepticism.

Because of his purity, when it's ultimately confirmed—the products are truly outstanding, extremely outstanding—Jin would instead express the most genuine emotional responses without any concealment.

The chairwoman remained silent.

On Andrew's side... he was so excited he was almost moved to tears!

"S-level... actually got such a high rating!!"

Andrew couldn't help but clench his fist quietly.

Regarding the grading for "cooperation channels", Andrew had previously gained some insight from Leia and Barbara.

Normally, reaching A-level is already remarkable.

S-level wouldn't be encountered once a year, or even several years.

As for SS-level... Andrew wasn't surprised that Celestial Mountain Water could attain SS-level.

After all, it's sourced from the underground water remnants of the former "Lake of the Ocean". Being rated SS, and not directly given the highest SSS, is mainly because Warm Fire Commerce Association was unsure if Celestial Mountain Water could be mass-produced. In terms of drinking water quality, Celestial Mountain Water is as good as the world's two top drinking waters, "Celestial Mountain Water" and "Spring Dew".

"But I never thought my face masks, lip balm, and eye drops could also receive S-level ratings!"

Andrew was overjoyed, "And Snickers might even be on the same level with Celestial Mountain Water! Even higher!?"

Thinking of this, his heart trembled: The core function of Snickers is to replenish physical ability, with a bit of physical improvement. Is such a high rating not only because of my product but due to the Flame Realm's people's deficiency in basic physical ability which urgently needs addressing?

Maybe I've underestimated the Flame Realm's market demand for "physical ability"?

"Three S's, one almost SSS..."

The chairwoman narrowed her eyes and spoke again. Her voice reverberated softly in the hall.

"Yes, three S's, one almost SSS."

Jin turned his back on Andrew, looked at the chairwoman, and said seriously, "Of course, this is only my personal assessment of the products. As for Andrew's five products' impact on the commerce association's entire grand plan of fire-making, that's not something I alone can decide."

Andrew, hearing this, wasn't troubled. After excitement, thrill, and joy, he gradually calmed down.

On the opposite side, the chairwoman's expression changed again upon hearing Jin say "I alone cannot judge".

"What does Mr. Jin mean by this?"

The chairwoman slowly stood up, her voice lowered for the first time, "Are you planning... to start the 'Round Table Meeting'?!"
