Seeing Min Ziqiong's expression, her cousin couldn't help but feel immensely pleased.
It was just as he had guessed!
Min Ziqiong's product didn't meet the quality inspection standards at all!
Min Ziqiong didn't dare to have it inspected publicly!
However, the more you dare not do something, the more I will force you to do it!
Only then can I see you fall from the sky and die a direct death!
"A report... of course, we have one, and it's a test report from a professional foreign institution." Min Ziqiong seemed to be still putting up a brave front, unwilling to admit defeat.
Upon hearing the words "professional foreign institution," Min Ziqiong's cousin burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, my cousin, do you take me for a three-year-old? Don't forget, I'm several years older than you! If I were three, you wouldn't have been born yet! Can a professional foreign institution, which just does what it's paid to do, be used as proof?"
"Stop joking! All the experts and leaders in this industry are present. Ask them, does anyone believe your so-called foreign professional institution's test report?"
Hearing Min Ziqiong's cousin's words, the experts present all shook their heads.
"Mr. Min is correct. Such test reports should come from national-level institutions or well-known foreign laboratories, not from some fly-by-night organization's report."
"Miss Min, if you truly have confidence in your product and truly want everyone to trust it, then finding a national-level testing institution for a second inspection is the best way."
"Exactly! No matter how beautiful a PPT is, it's just empty talk. Only by providing a trustworthy test report can it be considered practical. Miss Min, you don't have one, or perhaps you're afraid to?"
Facing the experts' doubts, Min Ziqiong's expression became a little flustered and uneasy.
Her eyes darted around, seeming genuinely hesitant to proceed with the inspection.
"It's time," Min Ziqiong's cousin said in a low voice.
At this moment, Li Yan swayed her body as she walked forward and slammed her hand on the table: "True gold fears no fire, and good medicine fears no test! You are all constantly questioning and slandering Xiao Qiong's product. I think you clearly have malicious intentions! You're afraid that Xiao Qiong will truly research a product that can dominate the market and push you all out!"
"Hmph, isn't it just a national-level test report? I have confidence in Xiao Qiong! I also have confidence in Xiao Qiong's product! Let's test it, who's afraid of whom?"
"I just can't stand a group of men ganging up to bully a young woman! Let me tell you: times have changed! Women can hold up half the sky now! The field of life sciences is destined to need a woman to lead you forward!"
Li Yan spoke with such passionate righteousness and political correctness.
Her words caused the audience to fall into an instant silence.
No one dared to question further.
After all, if you spoke up at this point, you would easily be labeled as "bullying a woman." If it blew up, it wouldn't be impossible to become a headline news story about "academic tyrants suppressing women."
Even foreign experts were afraid of this!
So they all chose to remain silent.
"Li Yan..." Min Ziqiong looked at Li Yan with gratitude and held her hand.
Li Yan patted Min Ziqiong's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here today, and no one will be able to bully you!"
With that, Li Yan took out her phone: "I happen to know a friend at a national-level testing institution. I'll call him right now and ask him to come over for an inspection!"
"Then I'll have him collect the sample on-site, seal it on-site, and notarize it on-site! In short, the entire process from start to finish will be open and transparent, leaving no room for anyone to fault it!"
"When the test results come out after 72 hours, we'll use the report to slap them in the face!"
As Li Yan spoke, she dialed the number of her friend at the testing institution.
Min Ziqiong, however, appeared somewhat panicked, wanting to stop Li Yan from making the call.
But Li Yan deliberately moved a little away from Min Ziqiong, preventing Min Ziqiong from succeeding.
Min Ziqiong's face turned extremely grim, and her body trembled slightly, unsure if it was from anger or fear.
"Cousin, cousin, I see if you're going to die this time!" Min Ziqiong's cousin smirked, looking at Min Ziqiong's expression and saying.
In his opinion, Min Ziqiong's demeanor was clearly a sign of guilt!
In fact, Min Ziqiong's cousin didn't particularly like or hate his cousin. If they had met in another setting, he might have just spat and walked away.
But in this setting... Min Ziqiong's cousin absolutely could not let Min Ziqiong go!
After all, he had gained nothing at this Life Science Conference!
Min Ziqiong's arrival provided Min Ziqiong's cousin with an opportunity to redeem himself!
If he became the hero who exposed Min Ziqiong, he would receive countless accolades. Then, by logically promoting his own laboratory, he could secure some investment from influential figures!
Especially Steven, who was standing nearby and looked rich and foolish.
Thinking of this, Min Ziqiong's cousin looked at Steven: "Mr. Steven, I heard you were wanting to invest in this product just now. Originally, as Min Ziqiong and I are cousins, I shouldn't have stepped forward to object. However, my conscience and my integrity tell me: while family ties are important, the truth is even more so."
"My cousin's product is actually just a PPT product designed to deceive rich people like you. I'm not here to criticize your decision, I just want to remind you to be cautious."
"Perhaps you don't believe me now, but it's okay. After 72 hours, when you see the test report, you will believe me."
"That's all I have to say. Saying more might just annoy you. My apologies."
After speaking, Min Ziqiong's cousin left Steven's side.
He adopted an air of潇洒 (xiāosǎ - free and easy, unrestrained), as if he had done his part and left without seeking fame.
Steven, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow, a slight look of admiration in his eyes.
Clearly, Min Ziqiong's cousin's move had struck a chord with him and earned his initial approval.
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
Time passed bit by bit.
Soon, two uniformed personnel arrived at the venue. They were from a well-known national testing institution in Jianghai.
"Xiao Qiong, they're here! Our saviors have arrived!"
"Quick! Give them your product called Shen Jing!"
"In 72 hours, we'll powerfully slap in the face those who looked down on you!"
Li Yan said excitedly.
She appeared as a righteous friend stepping up for her old classmate.
Min Ziqiong, however, tightly clutched the container holding Shen Jing, refusing to hand it over.
"Xiao Qiong, what are you hesitating about? Don't you have confidence in yourself? Is your product really unable to pass the test?" Li Yan asked, her words like a knife to the heart.
Min Ziqiong bit her lip and shook her head: "I... of course I have confidence... I just..."
"Having confidence is enough! Nothing else matters!" Li Yan interrupted Min Ziqiong directly and snatched Shen Jing away.
Then, as if afraid Min Ziqiong would change her mind, she eagerly handed Shen Jing over to the testing personnel.
"Everyone, pay close attention. This is our Xiao Qiong's product – Shen Jing! Everyone, remember this name. In 72 hours, this name will resound throughout the land and even the entire world!"
"Furthermore, you can record this for evidence. We are not falsifying anything; the entire submission process is open and transparent. The testing process will also be announced in real-time, lest someone say we bribed the testers out of sour grapes! In short, we want to do one thing – be truthful!"
"The product is real! The test results are also real!"
"Those of you who questioned our Xiao Qiong today will be slapped in the face by our Xiao Qiong in 72 hours! And you won't have the chance to cooperate with our Xiao Qiong in the future!"
Li Yan spoke as if she were Min Ziqiong's spokesperson, her voice filled with passion.
After speaking, Li Yan looked at Min Ziqiong and asked, "Right, Xiao Qiong?"
Min Ziqiong's expression was extremely grim, and she nodded with great effort, "Right..."
