Chapter 1257 The visitor is not friendly?
Clearly, Reginald was somewhat skeptical that this mysterious laboratory, which had caused a major upheaval in the entire pharmaceutical industry as soon as it was launched, actually belonged entirely to Tang Tang.
However, Tang Tang could understand his guess, after all, her age seemed really unbelievable.
“Unfortunately, my mother knows that you and I are good friends…” Isabella said, “but she didn’t tell Reginald anything, even though it really wasn’t relevant.”
Sitting next to Tang Tang, Edmund, who was lazily resting with his eyes closed, said, "But given Reginald's personality... not revealing any information to him will only make him overthink things."
Isabella covered her mouth and chuckled softly, without saying anything.
Tang Tang looked at Edmund and said, "I've heard about Reginald's personality."
Edmund opened his eyes, looked at Tang Tang, smiled, and then said, "Stubborn, selfish, cunning, and two-faced, he is a complete opportunist... He only trusts himself and has few true friends."
Charles also said, "I've heard that his methods aren't very clean."
Edmund said with a hint of sarcasm, "It's not exactly clean. I heard that Reginald's former rival died in a car accident just before his promotion."
At that time, Reginald was only in his thirties and worked at an investment bank on Wall Street with the man who died.
The timing was so coincidental that many people have suspected that Reginald was behind it.
Unfortunately, no evidence could be found; the driver was a drug addict and later died in prison.
Edmund looked at Tang Tang and earnestly advised, "In short, don't be fooled by his age and the fact that he seems to be trying to act like a gentleman. He's really no good."
Tang Tang chuckled, "I'm not some naive child who's easy to fool."
"So, this gathering...?"
Tang Tang looked at Caroline and saw her nod. "Yes, dear, Reginald invited my father, but he is not feeling well, so he asked my older brother to go to the banquet with me instead."
“Reginald then had his daughter contact me and mentioned you, hoping I could invite you to come along… after all, you haven’t made a formal public appearance since the Telos Labs press conference.”
Indeed, Tang Yu has appeared at several academic exchange meetings since the press conference, but Tang Tang, as the nominal owner of Telos Lab, has been slow to accept any invitations, which is quite intriguing.
Clearly, these people are now really starting to lose their temper.
So, are you going, darling?
Caroline thought for a moment and said, "Reginald must have invited two other people as well... that would mean all three major pharmaceutical companies are gathered together."
“Go ahead,” Tang Tang said. “I can’t keep rejecting all sorts of attempts.”
She shook her head slightly, a hint of helplessness in her voice. "But I have a feeling that they seem to have ill intentions."
The first-generation anti-cancer drug passed testing in the US first, but it has yet to be sold in the US.
On the contrary, the progress in China and the UK has been very smooth, precisely because the US market is monopolized by three major pharmaceutical companies.
The three major pharmaceutical companies have been competing with each other for many years. Although they cannot defeat each other, they have basically squeezed out other small companies and laboratories in the same field.
Even if a small laboratory develops a new patent or achievement, it will have no chance of standing out.
The only option in the US was to be forced by the three major pharmaceutical companies to choose one of them to sell the results.
In this context, the emergence of Telos Laboratories has put these three major pharmaceutical companies on high alert.
I don't know their specific attitudes.
"It's alright," Caroline comforted Tang Tang tenderly, "I'll be there too, I'll protect you, my dear!"
Edmund rolled his eyes at this. "You'd better protect yourself first."
Caroline rolled her eyes at Edmund, clearly feeling that he had brought up a sore spot.
After all, the Kensington family has produced another illegitimate child... Ugh, so annoying.
To be honest, everyone here has their own troubles, but if we had to compare them, it seems that Edmund is the only one who is truly carefree.
“It’s such a shame I can’t go,” Edmund said with some regret. “Do you have a good male companion?”
Edmund's status is rather special; after all, he has the president behind him. If he were to attend a private banquet without permission, it might lead to speculation and controversy.
"A male companion?" Tang Tang thought for a moment and then came up with a good candidate. "I plan to ask him about it later."
Edmund narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Who is it?"
"Professor Edwin," Tang Tang said lazily, "isn't it a good match in a sense?"
“Wow,” Caroline and Isabella exchanged a glance, then said in a subtle tone, “If Professor Edwin really did attend the banquet, that would be truly…”
“That old guy got off easy,” Charles chimed in. “After all, Professor Edwin has always been someone everyone’s been trying to win over.”
However, Professor Edwin refused any attempts to win him over, kept to himself, and rarely appeared in public.
If Tang Tang invites Edwin to the banquet as her date, then things will get interesting.
Since that's the case, Tang Tang stood up, smiled at everyone, and said, "I need to go to Edwin's laboratory first... See you at the banquet, dear Caroline."
"Goodbye, darling," Caroline gave Tang Tang a passionate kiss, "I look forward to seeing you dominate the party!"
……
Speaking of Edwin, Tang Tang suddenly realized that she really hadn't contacted him in a long time.
Unlike other men, Edwin rarely took the initiative to contact Tang Tang.
But the memories of being with Edwin are completely different.
Therefore, Tang Tang deduced that Edwin was probably still worried about surveillance by the FBI and CIA... who knows, his phone might even have been fitted with listening devices?
Being a superhuman isn't easy.
To verify her guess, Tang Tang asked the system, "Tongbao, am I right?"
[Shouldn't that be correct? Of those researchers you met in the lab last time, two have already been recruited as informants by the FBI.]
One of them was wearing a listening device, while the other's task was not only to monitor Edwin, but also to monitor you.
"Spy on me?"
Of course, as the heir to the Newkman family, your level of influence is already very high.
