Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 2304

Before Rhett could ask any further, the general manager walked in with his gaze locked on Luca.

Luca met his eyes for a moment, then averted her gaze to look at the computer screen.

Dr. Linwood looked at the general manager with a frown on his face.

The reason why he asked Luca about phase three of clinical trials data was because of the general manager.

His clinical research always did not perform well, so the general manager talked to him alone and asked him to learn from Luca’s clinical research data. Although it was a different type of drug, he thought that he could still learn something from it, so he agreed.

Dr. Linwood was quite happy at first as he had one more piece of data to learn from, which would help him in his research.

However, after Luca’s reminder, Dr. Linwood felt that something was not right as the data was crucial for the drug launch.

The general manager sat on the chairman's seat and discussed the meeting agenda.

“I gathered everyone here because the year is ending and I’d like to gather the opinions of the professors about where we should go for the team bonding trip at the beginning of the year. The professors are the main force of the company, and the future of Watson depends on all of you. The final decision will be based on the professors' opinion.”

The professors looked at each other. They came for a meeting for such a trivial matter?

The corner of Luca’s lips curled up. The general manager painstakingly did this just to see her phase three clinical trials data…

He even used this excuse to make her come to Watson.

Did he really think that she would show the data to Dr. Linwood because he was a senior?

Dr. Jackson spoke, “General Manager, you can just let the other departments decide. There’s no need to waste our time on this when we could be doing research.”

“Yes, yes,” the other professors echoed.

Except for Luca, everyone there had a reputation in the pharmaceutical and education industry. At this point, fame and riches were what they were after. They could not care less about where to travel to.

The professors were not interested in team bonding. They would rather earn more money. If they wanted to travel, they would bring their wives and children along for the trip.

The general manager lifted his hands and pressed them down, gesturing for them to calm down. “Professors, this is just one of the matters. Since everyone is not interested in the team bonding trip, I’ll let the other employees decide on the location. We’ll move on to the second matter.”

Luca looked up and stared deeply at the meeting minutes the general manager put up.

The general manager looked at Luca and said, “First of all, please give Dr. Craw a round of applause.”

Then, a scatter of applause sounded.

Luca nodded in every direction to express her gratitude.

Then, the general manager said, “Dr. Craw’s research is nearing the end, and her drug’s phase three of the clinical trials data is out. The next step is to prepare for the patent application and the market launch. This will be our company’s first drug. Thanks to Dr. Craw, we’ll have a head start for the rest of our company’s research.”

Luca listened to the general manager’s impassioned statement with a poker face. “Thank you, General Manager.”

“Dr. Craw, why don’t you come over and tell the professors about your research?” The general manager wanted to put Luca front and center.

Luca sat on the chair without moving. “The professors here are all well-known in the industry, General Manager. Aren’t you making me show off in front of them by going up there? I’m not the one who should go up there and speak, so forget it. Continue with your meeting. I believe the professors also want to finish quickly so that they can go back to the laboratory.”

Dr. Linwood walked over with a look of admiration as he admired her for her humility and complacency. “Dr. Craw, good thing you’re aware.”

“Dr. Linwood, does the general manager usually ask for your research data like this?” Luca pretended to ask casually.

Dr. Linwood shook his head. “Not at all. Our research is not progressing as fast as yours anyway.”

“Okay, got it. I have another meeting to attend, so I’ll be going.” Luca held her computer and documents while bidding farewell to Dr. Linwood.

“Thank you for your hard work. It must be tiring for you to commute back and forth,” Dr. Linwood said. It must be tiring for her. There was nothing important in today’s meeting, yet the general manager still needed her to be present.

Traveling back and forth like this was indeed exhausting.

“It’s okay. I’ll be going now.” Luca left with Rhett.

The two of them returned to the car, and as usual, Warren was in charge of driving

Rhett sat in the passenger seat and glanced back at Luca. “Dr. Craw, the person you were talking about is the general manager, right?”

The general manager’s intent was so obvious during the meeting earlier that even the professors who were unaware of the situation felt that something was off.

“Yes.” Luca looked at the copy she brought over, which was also the document that the general manager wanted to see so badly.

She brought it with her with no intention of giving it to him. It was so that she could look at it in the car and do some simple analysis.
