Chapter 269 Fiona is a Fool!
William had been mentally prepared for his mother's passing.
After all, it had been twenty years…
If his mother were still alive, she would have contacted Fiona by now.
"Got it! I'll get to the bottom of it!" Bradley said before rushing off.
For the rest of the day, Amelia and the others were puzzled.
Ever since Bradley's visit, William seemed like a different person—silent and distracted, even while tending to the Frostcrystal Grass.
"Do you think he's worried about retaliation from the Central State Medical Academy?" No one could figure it out.
Meanwhile, the three pharmacologists hired at a high price by Hope Pharmaceutical brought good news.
After thorough research, they managed to replace the four third-tier ingredients needed for the Phoenix Breath Pill with second-tier ones, and three of those second-tier ingredients were further replaced with first-tier ones.
This reduced the cost to just one-thirtieth of the original! Mass production and sales would surely bring in huge profits.
Upon receiving the news, Fiona and Eugene rushed to the lab.
Suddenly, Fiona remembered William's warning—forcefully substituting ingredients could lead to toxic risks!
"Dr. Parker, are you sure this is safe? There won't be any toxic reactions from changing the ingredients, right?" she asked cautiously.
Instantly, the faces of the three pharmacologists changed.
"Are you questioning us or the Central State Medical Academy?"
Fiona panicked:
"No! Not at all!"
"If you don't trust us, you can find someone else."
The three made a move to leave.
Fiona quickly apologized:
"My mistake! I shouldn't have doubted you at all."
"Ms. Fisher, rest assured! We've thoroughly researched the Phoenix Breath Pill. There won't be any toxicity, and the efficacy is at least 80% of the original formula, with minimal difference."
Upon hearing this, Fiona and Eugene were overjoyed.
These experts from the Central State Medical Academy were truly impressive—not only had they saved so much on costs, but they also retained 80% of the pill's efficacy!
"Your godson claimed it couldn't be done, but look at how well it's been replaced!" Eugene thought of William's warning and found it laughable.
Fiona gave an awkward smile—William was just all talk.
To be safe, she had her team run tests, and the results showed the new formula had 83% of the original Phoenix Breath Pill's efficacy.
She was both surprised and delighted, immediately making a decision:
"Dr. Parker, Hope Pharmaceutical would like to offer you a $50 million annual salary to become our chief pharmacologist, and Dr. White and Dr. Allen each a $30 million annual salary!"
Originally, they had only signed a short-term contract for $5 million, but seeing their capabilities, Fiona couldn't resist making a long-term offer.
"Sure! No problem!" The three pharmacologists grinned broadly.
At the Central State Medical Academy, they were just minor figures who got in through connections, lacking real talent and not even worthy of carrying the shoes of top genius Jolene.
They usually earned around a million dollars a year, but now someone was offering them a $50 million annual salary? Why not take it!
Fearing Fiona might reconsider, they quickly signed the agreement.
"Looks like the Central State Medical Academy's reputation really carries weight…" Rick Parker stroked his beard with a smile—earning this $50 million was way too easy.
However, Tom White had a slight concern:
"Rick, I think Ms. Fisher's worry isn't unfounded. We haven't done toxicity tests… What if there are toxic reactions…"
In reality, they had only researched the efficacy of the substituted ingredients, ensuring the efficacy was similar. As for whether the new ingredients would cause toxicity or adverse reactions—they hadn't done any testing at all.
