The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

As soon as Yin Xian entered the room, he felt Shi Zhong's overwhelming rage.

He lowered his head, his face was pale, and his mind was in turmoil.

Shi Zhong pointed at his nose and angrily questioned, "Yin Xian, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?!"

Didn't you confidently assure us back then that the experimental data was absolutely fine and that we could proceed with normal research and development?

What is this now? We're neither dead nor well, tell me, is this experiment even going to work?!

Yin Xian opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word; his face was full of bitterness and helplessness.

He couldn't understand what the problem was more than anyone else.

For the past two weeks, he and his team have been working day and night.

I checked it countless times, from the data parameters to the experimental procedures, leaving no room for error.

But the result was not as expected.

He could only hang his head, his voice hoarse: "President Shi, I... I really don't know. Everything was fine, and the data was normal. I just can't understand why this happened."

Speechless and helpless, what kind of lousy international student is this?

Shi Zhong was even angrier. He glanced at the ashtray and grabbed it, ready to smash it.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Professor Shi walked in.

Compared to the furious Shi Zhong, Instructor Shi was noticeably calmer.

He raised his hand, signaling Shi Zhongxian to calm down.

Then, he walked up to Yin Xian.

His tone was calm: "Don't panic, speak slowly. What exactly were the symptoms in the animal experiments? Describe them in detail."

Yin Xian quickly gathered his thoughts and reported truthfully: "Teacher, none of the experimental animals died, and the survival data are completely normal."

The condition has not improved at all; the heart's blood supply function remains below standard.

The valve is essentially functioning normally, but it's failing to provide the corresponding therapeutic effect, so it's stuck in the middle, in a stalemate.

"We conducted comprehensive testing and found no paravalvular leak, no valve calcification, and no thrombosis."

None of the possible postoperative complications occurred, but the patient simply couldn't recover and remained in this half-dead state.

After listening, Professor Shi frowned slightly and paced around the room in thought for a moment.

Turning his head to look at Shi Zhong, who was burning with rage,

His tone was firm: "Don't get angry so easily. This situation just proves that the data we have is correct."

"If the data is false, or the core parameters are incorrect, the animal will die immediately after valve implantation."

It is impossible for someone to survive but not recover.

The problem is definitely not with the data, but rather with a problem in a certain detail of our experiment.

For example, discrepancies likely exist in areas such as material compatibility, meticulous intraoperative procedures, and postoperative care details.

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhong was still unconvinced and wanted to argue a few more points.

He felt there was something wrong with the data; otherwise, it couldn't be so strange.

Seeing this, Instructor Shi gestured to him with his eyes to stop talking.

Turning to Yin Xian, he said in a commanding tone, "Yin Xian, you've been leading the team in working overtime lately to review the entire experimental process again."

No detail should be overlooked; the root cause of the problem must be found and resolved as soon as possible.

He had already investigated the issues Professor Shi mentioned countless times with his team, and there were no problems.

Or the problem isn't in the process at all.

But he dared not disobey his teacher, so he could only look up and say, "Thank you for your trust, teacher. I will take people to investigate immediately. Even if I don't sleep, I will definitely find the problem and will not delay the project's progress!"

After saying that, Yin Xian turned around and quickly left the office to get back to the experimental investigation.

After Yin Xian's figure disappeared into the distance, only Shi Zhong and his mentor remained in the office.

Unable to contain his anxiety any longer, Shi Zhong strode over to his instructor.

With a worried look on her face, she asked, "Cousin, if we keep dragging this on and never find the root of the problem, what should we do?"

"You know how much effort and money we invested in this project beforehand!"

Procuring high-end raw materials, assembling a dedicated R&D team, leasing experimental facilities, and purchasing precision instruments.

So much money has been poured in all along.

They've even built up their network of contacts; all they're waiting for is for the samples to be successfully launched so they can recoup their investment and make a profit.

If the experiment continues to stall like this, what will happen to all the initial investment?

Are we all just throwing money down the drain?

Shi Zhong became increasingly panicked as he spoke; these investments had almost emptied his entire savings.

If the project fails, he will not only fail to make money, but he will also lose everything.

Looking at his flustered appearance, Instructor Shi's gaze darkened.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips.

His tone was firm: "To skip stones? How could that be!"

Even if we ultimately fail to find the problem, we can't let our initial investment go to waste. This project can still be pushed forward to an IPO.

Shi Zhong's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with surprise and disbelief.

His voice rose several decibels: "Cousin, are you crazy?! This is how it is with laboratory animals. After the valve is implanted, it doesn't cure the disease at all. If you rush to market it like this and use it on humans, it will cause a huge disaster!"

If there's a medical accident, we're all doomed!

He had considered taking shortcuts, but when it came to matters of life and death, the risk of exposure was too great…

Not only will they lose everything, but they'll also go to jail.

He simply wouldn't dare take that risk.

Instructor Shi snorted coldly and patted his shoulder.

His tone was sinister yet resolute as he slowly tried to persuade her: "What do you know? There's no great undertaking without taking risks."

We've invested so much in the early stages, we absolutely cannot give up halfway.

Think about it, laboratory animals just recover slowly, they don't die directly.

To the outside world, we could easily conceal the true experimental results, modify the experimental reports, and embellish the data.

"For example, if all animal experiments are successful, all indicators meet the standards, and it meets marketability requirements, I can handle all these procedures."

"Currently, there are loopholes in medical regulation. As long as we do a good job in public relations, streamline the approval process, and make the reports flawless..."

No one really goes into the details of animal testing.

Furthermore, many medical products on the market are not 100% perfect.

Even if some problems arise when it is used on patients later,

We can also blame it on the patient's own physical condition or improper post-operative care, so the blame can't be traced back to us.

"Once the product is successfully launched, we can quickly seize the market and make a lot of money. Once we've made a fortune, even if some minor problems arise later, it won't affect us."

We have money and connections, so we can handle any trouble.

At this critical juncture, we absolutely cannot back down; we must grit our teeth and push forward. This is our only way out!

Shi Zhong listened to his mentor's words, feeling both shocked and frightened.

But I have to admit that what my cousin said was the only way to salvage the situation.

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of calculation and ruthlessness flashing in their eyes.

.........

The research and development lab has been kept lit almost all night during this period.

The development of coronary balloons has entered its most critical and challenging stage.

The whole team worked together as one, and no one let them down.

Fu Hua, as the project leader, especially... spends every day in the lab.

From material selection and balloon wall thickness adjustment to expansion pressure parameter testing, every step was closely monitored.
