Chapter 1227: Chapter 1226: I Only See Her as a Younger Sister
Sikong Jian agreed rather hastily, and Feng Ting turned his head to glance at him.
Being on the same team, Feng Ting naturally wouldn’t undermine at this moment, but a trace of worry was hidden deep in his eyes.
Grant was pleased now and immediately made a decisive decision.
"Please have Secretary-General as our witness; they agreed to it voluntarily. I hope Lu Mian will not skip the conference five days from now."
Sikong Jian flipped his coat behind him, smiling like a playboy from ancient times.
"Naturally. I also hope that five days from now, you won’t be crying too badly."
"..." Grant exchanged a glance with Henry beside him, his cold and aloof face suddenly burst into a laugh, as if hearing a funny joke.
Henry laughed along.
Sikong Jian didn’t care.
The meeting had reached a point where there was no need to continue.
Feng Ting was even less interested in engaging in verbal battles with these leaders, each nursing their own ulterior motives. He said goodbye and left the meeting room without turning back.
Secretary-General Fo Long stood up and tried to persuade them to stay, but neither Feng Ting nor Sikong Jian remained.
He shook his head, sighed, and, with a cold glance at the remaining leaders in the meeting room, said quite dissatisfied, "In the face of adversity, the most important thing is to treat the victims. Even if you do not accept the goodwill of Z Country, you should not slander it."
Henry, sitting on the sofa, adjusted his posture and spoke somewhat defiantly.
"To treat victims, we also need to choose a safe antidote. If Lu Mian’s LA Special Efficacy Drug passes the scrutiny at the conference, we will naturally accept it. If it doesn’t, then we will surely opt for the safer antidote developed by Mr. Grant."
Grant surveyed the room with a mysteriously confident look and spoke, "In fact, our laboratory has already developed a finished product called Antidote No.1. It only requires a few more clinical observations before it can be widely used on patients."
"Really? Victory is just around the corner!" Henry was highly expectant.
Grant smiled, spreading good faith like a savior, "Which country faces a severe situation can buy a batch of the antidote as an emergency measure."
Several small country leaders were relieved upon hearing this.
Compared to Lu Mian, an outsider, they trusted the esteemed, two-time Nobel Prize winner Grant more.
Even though the drug is still in the clinical trial phase, it certainly seems safer than Lu Mian’s.
Moreover, in an international conference, this choice also represents a form of alliance.
Several leaders immediately expressed their intention to purchase.
Originally in a more urgent and severe situation, Carver, however, said nothing, and eventually left the conference heavy-hearted, with a sense of loneliness.
——
After leaving the meeting room, Feng Ting and Sikong Jian boarded the private jet back to Z Country.
On the plane.
Feng Ting surprisedly asked a question.
"You promised on behalf of Lu Mian for the conference. Will she attend?"
Sikong Jian paused; previously, he was quite sure that as long as he spoke, Lu Mian would definitely go.
But now, he wasn’t so sure.
Having decided to withdraw from Lu Mian’s life, their relationship had somewhat cooled, and he was unsure of her thoughts.
"Maybe, perhaps, probably..."
Sikong Jian sheepishly smiled.
He was not worried that Lu Mian wouldn’t dare to go, but rather that she might not want to bother dealing with the troublemakers.
"You..."
Feng Ting picked up a magazine, looked at Sikong Jian, and shook his head helplessly.
"In the future, don’t make promises about uncertain things."
Sikong Jian shrugged, appearing quite carefree, "If we didn’t agree, the reputation of LA Special Efficacy Drug would be ruined, and Mianmian would face even bigger troubles. That’s just how the situation is; I can’t help it either."
"Can you persuade Lu Mian then?" Feng Ting gave Sikong Jian a soul-searching interrogation.
Sikong Jian: ??
Is he looking down on him?
"Forget it, I’ll go." Feng Ting didn’t even give Sikong Jian the chance to oppose or act, directly issuing an order.
Anyway, since it’s been said, Lu Mian definitely has to go to M Country this time.
This matter, we still have to get Yun Sang to help a bit!
Sikong Jian turned his head, looking at the President, sitting earnest on a comfortable sofa reading a magazine, and was puzzled.
"Have I not mentioned that you and Lu Mian are not cut from the same cloth, don’t mess around."
Sikong Jian reminded Feng Ting once more.
He attributed Feng Ting’s various unusual behaviors for one reason: Feng Ting had developed feelings for Lu Mian.
Otherwise, why would he, a President, protect Lu Mian so much?
He even altered the Presidential Residence’s interest exchange plan for her.
Xiao Qimo VS Feng Ting?
This sure is a storyline that leaves one speechless.
He quite enjoyed watching Xiao Qimo mess up, but he more so wished for Lu Mian’s happiness and joy.
Fulfillment and non-interference are the best blessings he could offer Lu Mian.
He hoped Feng Ting could learn from him.
Feng Ting knew what Sikong Jian was considering, glanced at him indifferently, and flicked his hand, tossing the magazine into Sikong Jian’s lap.
"Don’t speculatively talk; I only see Lu Mian as a sister."
