The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 430: Brain Instrument Launch, Dr. M Appears

Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Brain Instrument Launch, Dr. M Appears

"Grandma, Auntie, where are Manman and Jiang Man? Why haven’t I seen them?"

Lu Zhendong came out to check the situation at the venue and immediately spotted the elderly lady sitting in the front row.

Lu Xuemei had taken a blanket and placed it over the old lady’s knees.

"Manman went to the restroom, and as for Jiang Man, I haven’t seen her. Isn’t she with Zhou’er?" Lu Xuemei said, puzzled.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Man came over and greeted Lu Zhendong, "Third Brother."

Lu Zhendong gave her a cursory glance and said indifferently, "Take good care of Grandma. There will be a lot of reporters later, and the crowd might get pushy. Don’t let Grandma get bumped."

"If she wants water or snacks, you can ask the staff over there."

"Okay," Jiang Man obediently nodded her head.

"Well then, Grandma, I’ll go check on the venue," Lu Zhendong said respectfully to the elderly lady after giving his instructions.

The old lady nodded, "Off you go."

Everyone was busy today; as an elderly person, simply sitting quietly was the best help she could offer.

"Manman, have you seen your sister-in-law?" Lu Xuemei tapped Jiang Man on the shoulder.

Jiang Man blinked, looking confused, "I don’t know. Isn’t she with Brother Zhou?"

"They said they haven’t seen her."

"She’s not a kid anymore; she’s probably busy with something else."

"Mm," Lu Xuemei frowned.

What could she be busy with?

Today was supposed to be the most important day, the very time she should be here.

Worried, Lu Xuemei pulled out her phone to call Jiang Man.

"Hello?" Jiang Man answered slowly, after a delay of several seconds.

"Jiang Man, where are you? Your Third Brother was just looking for you. Call him back later and see what he needs."

Jiang Man didn’t get a chance to speak when the sound of someone else talking came through.

"Should I go on stage with the doctor later? Isn’t that inappropriate?"

"Auntie, I got it. I’m busy here; I’ll hang up first."

Before Lu Xuemei could say another word, Jiang Man hung up.

"Huh?" Lu Xuemei held her phone, her frown deepening, her eyebrows furrowed, "What was that about? I think I just heard Yingxue’s voice? Are Jiang Man and Yingxue together?"

"It seems Dr. M is also there."

Her words caught Jiang Man’s attention.

The last time at the Tsinghua-North Doctor M’s recruitment event, Jiang Man was respectfully welcomed by a company commander.

She hadn’t even had time to ask what credentials Jiang Man had to get in.

"Could it be as I guessed? Jiang Man might have treated Dr. M, and that’s why she could get an invitation to the recruitment event for Yingxue and be exceptionally admitted by the research institute."

"That might well be true; our Jiang Man has made many good connections and her extraordinary medical skills take her everywhere," the elderly lady chimed in.

Hearing them sing praises of Jiang Man, Jiang Man kept her mouth tightly shut, feeling quite uncomfortable.

She had been wholeheartedly taking care of the old lady these past few days, diligently serving tea and water, being incredibly filial.

But all they ever talked about, from start to finish, was never about her.

"Hey, Manman."

Jiang Man was lost in thought when someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.

"Hello Grandma, hello Auntie."

Hu Hao and Hu Xianyun greeted the elders in unison.

Their seats were arranged right behind the elderly lady and her company.

"Hao Brother, didn’t you say you weren’t interested in these kind of press conferences?"

Jiang Man turned around and started making casual conversation.

Hu Hao rubbed his head and gave an awkward smile, "I came with Old Five. Despite being an Antarctic Scientific Researcher and a scholar, he’s actually terrible with directions. If I didn’t drive him here, he probably would have struggled a lot on the way."

"Pfft, is that so?" Jiang Man couldn’t help but chuckle.

However, Hu Xianyun’s face was terribly gloomy, his expression unsmiling and difficult to approach.

Seeing this, Jiang Man quickly suppressed her smile.

Hu Hao was his brother, so naturally, he could tease him.

She, an outsider, casually joking about others, naturally wasn’t well-received.

Guests continued to arrive intermittently.

Soon, reporters also swarmed in.

In their rush to grab the best filming spots, several media outlets almost came to blows.

Fortunately, Lu Zhendong arrived in time to maintain order, thereby preventing a fiasco.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Man shook her head.

She really couldn’t understand, would the filming effect not be the same regardless of the position?

Were they not here to record the process of today’s press conference? Were they here specifically to film people?

A doctor, presumably not young, probably an old man, finding positions and angles, could he really make himself look like a young idol?

Amid her internal barrage of complaints, the press conference officially began.

First up, Lu Xingzhou gave a speech as a representative, discussing the opportunities and intentions behind the development of the brain device.

He wore a black hand-tailored suit with a red tie.

The whole appearance added a touch of politician to him; anyone uninformed might think he was running for president today.

With firm eyes and an upright posture, he stood gallantly, exuding undeniable charm.

Many female guests paid no mind to his words; they just gazed at his high physical attractiveness and fine physique.

After he finished his speech, the room erupted in vigorous applause.

Then, Commissioner Xia took the stage, reported the current progress of the brain device development, and played a successful clinical trial video.

The video was only fifteen minutes long, but everyone present was moved to tears.

The content told the heart voice of a vegetative pregnant woman—although she had become vegetative, the fetus inside her was unharmed and growing robustly each day.

Her family was divided into two factions.

Her in-laws insisted that the child must be born.

Her own family argued, "Our daughter has become like this, yet you still want her to give birth? Are you treating her as a mere birthing machine? Isn’t that too cruel?"

Not until the researchers installed a brain device chip into the pregnant woman did her heart voice emerge.

She said she hoped the child would be born because her husband, a firefighter, had died in a rescue mission. She knew the child would be pitiful without a father and a mother, but she knew that it would be loved by four grandparents. The child was probably the extension of her husband’s life, and she hoped it would grow up to become a firefighter too, to fulfill the mission her father couldn’t complete.

This video sparked a lot of debate among the audience, with some calling the mother selfish and others calling her selfless.

But in the end, they all agreed that this wasn’t really a debate about selfishness or selflessness, but rather an analysis and interpretation of human nature.

Fortunately, because the brain device allowed the vegetative woman to communicate normally with the outside world, and with her strong willpower, she had already woken up.

Her first words after awakening were: From now on, the child has one more mother to love and cherish it, which is wonderful.

The whole audience fell into silence.

This short video made everyone reflect deeply on the brain device.

Including Jiang Man, who had previously been disdainful of Dr. M.

But after watching this film, she had many reflections.

Dr. M was truly doing something worthy of everyone’s respect.

He was interpreting human nature in his way, striving as much as possible for humanistic care.

"Doctor, doctor!"

Someone called out first.

Suddenly, as if connected by telepathy-like sense, everyone raised their fists, continuously calling for this miraculous person to appear.

They wanted to see, what did this great doctor look like!
