"I've already said we're still working on it. It's futile to carry out the tests now!" Thompson stated after recollecting himself.
"It's been a few months! You’re all useless! These medicinal herbs are garbage!" With his hands clenched, Professor Devon slammed them on the table as he barked.
Thompson, who was already unhappy after being accused, could not hold back anymore after hearing what Devon had said. "Watch your words, Devon! The boss holds this experiment in high regard. Are you questioning his vision?" Thompson name-dropped their boss to try and suppress Devon.
The boss had brought Devon and three other biomedical students with him when he returned from abroad. From how they talked, Thompson could tell that they looked down on medicinal herbs and saw this experiment as a waste of time. They were only here under the boss's order.
Their scope of research was very different from the experiments done at this research institute.
Thompson had no idea what experiments they were conducting, but the four foreigners had their own special laboratory, closed by a heavy iron door. Pupil scans were required for anyone to enter the laboratory.
Regarding his doubts, the boss told Devon that it was none of his business and told him to concentrate on the task. In addition to their own experiments, Devon and the others were in charge of the final test on the results that Thompson had gotten.
After countless failed trials, Devon was even more contemptuous of medicinal herbs now.
"You don't need to use the boss to try and pressure me. I don't think his vision is wrong, but he probably did not expect you people to be so stupid. All these medicinal herbs are bullsh*t and a trick to fool the gullible ones!" Devon spat. "If it doesn't work, just give up! Don't waste any more time on it!"
"The boss brought you here to help us, not hinder us! The experiment is still ongoing, yet, you're asking us to give up? Is this because you don't understand how medicinal herbs work, or are you afraid this experiment will succeed and cause such a huge worldwide sensation? By then, humankind will know that medicinal herbs are better than your manufactured pills!" Thompson replied unceremoniously.
