T Corporation.
Luca and the research team had a meeting for a few hours. They even had lunch in the meeting room.
The meeting lasted until four in the afternoon. That was when they finally finished arranging everything. Luca's voice was already
a little hoarse.
She could not stand talking for such a long time.
Luca took a sip of the water and looked at the researchers who were discussing with each other, waiting for them to give her a
final answer.
After a while, one of the researchers represented the others and said, “Dr. Craw, we believe that the plan and price are just right.
We can submit the price to them when the employees are dealing with the Food and Drug Administration."
"Okay. It's settled then since there are no other problems. Other than that, I have good news for everyone." Luca paused for a
moment. "Mr. Crawford is planning to open a laboratory in Watson Biopharmaceuticals for everyone. Every researcher and
assistant is allowed to do experiments there. There's no limit to what kind of drugs you study. As long as you have an idea in
mind, you're allowed to give it a try. If there's progress with your research, it can be listed in the research projects. Everyone can
be like the professors, leading a research project."
"Is it true?" The researchers were excited to hear the news.
Their knowledge of biopharmaceuticals was not any less than the professors. The reason they became researchers was due to
the universities they went to. As a result, their experience was not as good as the professors. Hence, even though they had
ideas in mind, they would have to wait for the company's approval to know if they could do the research.
Everyone had research ideas of their own, but they could not carry them out due to the lack of equipment.
"Yes. I've already confirmed with Mr. Crawford. He should be announcing it in a few days. Besides, after our drug is successfully
launched in the market, we'll return to the office in Watson Biopharmaceuticals. Everyone can do their own research when the
time comes. Of course, we have to be focused on the company's existing research projects. We have to complete the projects
assigned to us first to be able to work on our research." Luca could see how excited they were by looking into their eyes.
The lights in the laboratory of Watson Biopharmaceuticals would probably be on all night once the lab opened.
They were people who had dreams to pursue, after all.
"That's great, Dr. Craw. I've worked for a few pharmaceutical companies before, but none of them are like Watson
Biopharmaceuticals. They give their employees such a good dividend policy," said one of the elder researchers.
Based on his experience, they were merely commanders who could complete the research projects their superiors had assigned
them.
As for the research they wanted to do, there was no room for them to work on them.
Now that Watson Biopharmaceuticals had given them a chance to work on the research they wanted to study, it was good news
to them.
What Luca said made many of them exhilarated. Luca thought about the research she was working on. She would be able to
develop the antidote soon with the equipment in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.
However, would Abel give her the time and chance to do so?
Luca picked up her phone and glanced at it. She muted her phone as she was attending the meeting. Hence, she had no idea if
Abel had replied to her message.
She unlocked her phone screen. There were no messages or missed calls.
She could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Abel did not reply to her. Perhaps Abel just acted on a whim yesterday.
Luca noticed the date. She should be taking her antidote soon...
It was just that Warren was the one who sent her to the office and back home every day. What could she do to stop Warren from
following her?
If she asked Warren to send her to such places, it would arouse his suspicion.
Luca pondered for a moment and said to them, "That's all for today. We'll leave the application to the company."
"Okay, Dr. Craw," they replied.
Luca picked up the documents and rose to her feet. Then, she left the meeting room.
Rhett carried his documents and followed behind her. After they walked out of the meeting room, Rhett carefully asked, "Dr.
Craw, has what you mentioned just now been confirmed?"
"What?" Luca was thinking about the antidote. She did not pay attention to what Rhett was saying to her.
"About the lab," replied Rhett.
"Oh, that. Since Mr. Crawford already mentioned it, he probably won't back out on it," said Luca. The matters Luke discussed
with her were mostly confirmed.
She only had to wait for Luke to inform the general manager working in Watson Biopharmaceuticals to carry out the plan
immediately.
"Great!" Rhett whooped with excitement. He had something he wanted to study too, but he was just an assistant. He did not
have the chance to do so before this.
The laboratories out there were too expensive to rent. Besides, he had to work overtime. It was not worth it if he rented a
laboratory.
"Good luck!" Luca cheered for him as she knew Rhett had something he wanted to study too.
Then, she added, “Oh, I'm going out later. But it won't look good to ask for a leave on the first day of work. Can you do me a
favor? Tell Ms. Davis that I'm going out to handle some work matters. I'll come back before getting off work."
Rhett was a little surprised. Luca was not that kind of person, but she wanted him to cover up for her now. Something must have
come up.
He nodded and replied, "No problem, Dr. Craw. You're going to deal with your personal matters, right? Do you need any help?"
"Thanks but it's just a small matter," said Luca as she shook her head.
Rhett nodded and no longer said anything.
Luca's matters were not something he could intervene in.
Luca left the office after she placed all the documents properly.
Rhett had informed Zoey earlier, so she watched Luca leave without reporting it to Luke.
Luca got into the elevator and headed downstairs. She knew Warren would be waiting at the parking lot, so she got out of the
elevator instead of going to the parking lot.
After Luca left T Corporation's building, she hailed a taxi and headed to the stronghold of Island of Despair in A City.
Everything went smoothly when she took the antidote.
Luca finished the antidote and walked out of the building after they checked on her.
She pushed the door open. A cold gust of wind swept across her face.
Luca could not help but shiver. The location was slightly remote, and she could not hail a ride here. She had to walk toward the
main road.
Luca pulled her coat tight and walked in the wind toward the street.
Luca had her head lowered a little when she bumped into someone by accident.
"I'm sorry." The moment their shoulders touched, Luca lifted her head and realized she had run into a middle-aged woman.
It was a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Luca immediately bent down and helped the woman up. She spoke Russian, "I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." The woman shook her head and replied in fluent English.
Luca realized the woman could speak the language, so she no longer spoke in Russian. "I'm sorry. I didn't notice you when I was
walking. Do you need me to bring you to the hospital?"
Although the woman in front of her did not seem to be intentionally looking for trouble, Luca found it unbelievable that she
actually bumped into someone and made that person fall.
