All Chapters of Who's the Substitute Now?: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Natasha's frown deepened. She wondered if Ron had truly received Radiance Biomed's authorization and the anti-counterfeit security label.Upon hearing Ron's confident guarantee, Joshua raised a brow provocatively. "Show me the letter, then. I'll have someone examine it."Ron laughed and countered, "Do you take me as an idiot who'd hand you the letter just like that? I have to make sure it's in my hands all the time."Joshua nodded at Ron's reasoning and replied, "Fine, keep the letter. I'll arrange for someone to come in person for the authentication."Turning arrogantly to face the hesitant Ellen, Ron silently signaled her not to worry.After some contemplation, Joshua suggested, "Why don't you all come to my office?" He pressed the elevator lobby button, and the three entered the elevator.It was then Natasha slowly emerged from behind the pillar. Since she couldn't tag along, she helplessly watched as the elevator doors slid shut.Standing there, she realized there was

Joshua looked on impassively as Ron stuffed the letter into his bag. He said, "I won't interrogate you on the forgery. The two of you may leave."Ron snorted without any hint of shame for being exposed. Instead, he spoke with a cryptic expression on his face, "It's been a while since I saw Natasha."Frowning, Joshua questioned, "What are you getting at?"Ron merely snickered. "Nothing. It was just a casual remark. It's been some time since we met.""There's no reason for you to see her." Despite not knowing what game Ron was playing, Ellen trusted that he had a plan. She couldn't help but interject, "How could you say so? She's part of the family as well. We'd like to be close with her. Isn't that normal?""I am fond of Natasha. Since it's been a while, let's meet up one day," suggested Ron with an icy smile.The frown deepened on Joshua's face. He waved at Colin and said, "Please see them out."Colin immediately gestured at Ron to leave. Ron rose from the couch and snappe

When Joshua didn't speak, Matt glanced up only to notice the unmistakable change in Joshua's expression. He asked, "Zack didn't agree?" Joshua's eyes darkened with an enigmatic look in them.Matt observed the silent Joshua and had a vague understanding. He opened his mouth but held back the words. After a pause, he cursed, "What the hell is wrong with Zack? Does he think he's superior just because he has the authorization? How rude!"But on second thought, having authorization was rather impressive."We've even lowered our stances…" Matt trailed off upon noticing Joshua's increasingly grim face, swallowing the rest of his words.A moment of deliberation later, he spoke again, "We don't necessarily have to obtain authorization. We can search for research talent. "We might not have it easy as Radiance Biomed, but with effort, we can successfully develop a new drug before the authorization expires.""And where will you find research talent?"Matt was thrown off by Joshua's que

In the laboratory, there were about a dozen researchers dressed in white lab coats, each busy with various pharmaceutical equipment. They seemed hurried, and upon closer inspection, a touch of distress was evident in their eyes.A researcher, holding an extracted solution, poured a seemingly yellow liquid into a waste bin with a pained expression. "Why did it fail again? Just when will we get a breakthrough?"A man beside him echoed, "We've been working overtime for a month straight, but no matter how we try, we can't get the formulation right! We even followed Professor Lopez's instructions precisely, so why do we keep failing? I'm starting to doubt his formula.""We'll get scolded if we fail to develop this drug. By the time Mr. Lynch returns, we're going to get fired!" another researcher exclaimed, visibly agitated."Lower your voice. If Professor Lopez hears you, you're doomed," someone nearby warned.The next second, the laboratory door opened, and Natasha walked in. The rese

Natasha uttered firmly, "Let me give it a try."Ronald still had a look of mistrust as he said, "Even if you understand pharmaceuticals, this is an extremely complicated drug. Even our professors can't handle it. What makes you think you can?"Natasha smiled. "How will we know if you don't let me try?""Fine. Let her give it a try," another researcher chimed in, seemingly eager to see her fail.Ronald, half-skeptical, stepped back from the table. Natasha approached without hesitation, picked up various materials from the table, and began the process of drug development.The surrounding researchers watched her proficiently perform the extraction, sterilization, and so on.As time passed, Natasha finally reached the final step. When the last material was added, and the petri dish showed a significant reaction, she removed her protective goggles. "It's done."With a sneer, Ronald blurted, "That's it? Are you kidding me?"He had watched the entire process. The proportions of the tw
