Chapter 476: Chapter 275: Celebration Banquet: Promotion to Director and Academic Leader

"I have the utmost admiration and respect for Director Wu’s accomplishments and research in immunology. I would never dare compare my own skills to his."

Seeing the immunology consultant for the Neutrino Technology team admit defeat so readily, the immunologists who supported Wu Ting erupted in laughter and applause.

Professor Edwards saw Professor Lin Ning’s commentary article, as well as the news of standing committee members from Jin Country’s hepatic oncology community continuously resigning, and Wu Ting’s public declaration of war on Headquarter TV Station. He was furious.

His secretary-general, Laura, stood nervously to the side. She had always been accustomed to looking down on the doctors from the Jinzhou District and had never anticipated that someone as young as Wu Ting would dare to push back so forcefully.

’We’re both still in the clinical trial phase. How can he be this confident?’

’I represent the International Liver Cancer Association, the absolute authority in our field!’

In that moment, Laura finally realized the situation had spiraled completely out of their control.

If it had just been Wu Ting and his supporters from a few hospitals, they wouldn’t have paid it any mind. They might be able to disregard individuals from Jin Country, but the country itself was too significant; it held a crucial position in the International Liver Cancer Association.

If the incident with Wu Ting led to all the experts and professors from Jin Country’s liver tumor field pulling out, the damage would be crippling.

Could an international organization that excluded Jin Country still claim to represent the entire global community?

Edwards hadn’t expected to run into such a tough nut to crack.

Edwards thought for a moment. "Laura, go get Vice President Morey from the Ruihui Group immediately. I need to have a quick meeting with him."

"Also, replace the immunotherapy team. Dr. Towns is clearly not up to the task. Pick a more aggressive team from our other partners to be the preferred choice for the immunotherapy."

"The core of our project has always been the Neutrino Technology and my theory of targeted apoptosis. The immunotherapy and antiviral treatments are just auxiliary technologies anyway."

Edwards was very clear on his team’s core technology; immunotherapy and antiviral treatments were merely icing on the cake. He didn’t mind switching partners.

"And another thing: approve all the resignation requests from the standing committee members in Jin Country. Then, blacklist all of their departments and hospitals. Announce it at the upcoming annual meeting of the International Liver Cancer Association."

"Keep trying to contact Scholar Zeng Jiu. We need an explanation and a clear stance from him!"

Having followed Professor Edwards through thick and thin for so many years, Laura quickly regained her composure and her arrogance.

’It was true,’ she thought. ’They represented the entire International Liver Cancer Association. How much trouble could a project led by some minor doctor from Jin Country possibly cause?’

「Ruihui Headquarters, Southern Country.」

The board of directors held an emergency high-level meeting.

President Francis, Vice President Morey, Vice President Miller, and all the other senior executives were present.

Vice President Morey was a supporter of Professor Edwards and an advocate for the Neutrino Technology.

The past couple of days had been difficult for him.

The conflict between Wu Ting’s team and Jin Country’s hepatic tumor surgery community, along with the overwhelming support from the immunologists, had created a rift among Ruihui’s senior leadership.

Vice President Miller and Vice President Morey were rivals, each responsible for different sectors and markets.

Miller was in charge of the market for cardiovascular diseases, so naturally, his team had been paying attention to Wu Ting’s research achievements.

However, because Morey and Professor Edwards’ Neutrino project had made Ruihui and Wu Ting’s team implacable enemies, Miller had temporarily put aside any attempts to contact them.

Miller could have continued to support the group’s current strategy if it were just a matter of the fourth-generation bioresorbable polymer vascular stent and the adjustable self-expanding valve delivery system. But Wu Ting was now demonstrating a far more profound influence in the cardiac surgery field.

Because of this, Miller was growing restless.

"Everyone, to date, our group’s flagship Neutrino project and our major push to develop the liver cancer market have not yet shown any tangible returns. Professor Edwards’s team is still a considerable distance from having a mature clinical technology, and as for clinical guidelines, those are even further out of reach."

"Therefore, I have some doubts about the future of the Neutrino project and its return on investment."

After he finished speaking, Vice President Miller opened the file he had prepared, which contained a video.

It was the conceptual framework for the Hybrid Technology, which Wu Ting had proposed during the second half of the finals of the Jin Country National Cardiac Surgery Skills Competition.

After playing the video, Miller spoke about the prospects and influence of this Hybrid Technology being developed in Jin Country.

"Everyone, although we can’t yet determine the viability of this Hybrid Technology, there is no doubt that it will be a solution for aortic disease in the field of cardiac surgery!"

"If Wu Ting’s team and Jin Country Fuwai Hospital successfully develop this Hybrid Technology, it will have a profound impact on the entire world of cardiac surgery, and the entire pharmaceutical supply chain will be completely reshuffled."

"Therefore, I believe we need to position ourselves strategically in advance to prepare for this."

"My thinking is this: if Professor Edwards’s team continues to make no progress on the Neutrino project while Jin Country’s Hybrid Technology advances by leaps and bounds, then we should change the group’s strategy."
