Chapter 622: Chapter 621: Carcinogens

"Professor, there is a reason behind this matter. I just took over The Ellison Group, and at a time when I need to achieve results, how could I possibly do something that would destroy our reputation? Professor, this issue is more complicated than you think. Fiona Grant recently started her own company and left us with such a big gift. Although I haven’t found out who mixed these things in, it definitely has something to do with Fiona Grant."

Professor Tate listened to South Grant’s words and thought about it. This did seem like something Fiona Grant would do.

"What does this have to do with me? You’re here to get something from me to use against Fiona Grant. I don’t like Fiona Grant, but I won’t like you either!"

In Timothy Tate’s eyes, all these people are just using him to make money.

South Grant had heard Dodo say that Professor Tate had an eccentric character, and she could now somewhat understand it.

She didn’t get angry because of Professor Tate’s words, just smiled and then said:

"You’re overthinking it. I came over today just to check on you. While I do hope we could work together, I also want to respect your wishes. It’s normal that you don’t trust me, given that Fiona Grant’s character hurt you. Without discussing cooperation, purely as a junior, I still admire you. The most precious trait in a person’s life is perseverance. You have spent your whole life researching, and just for this, I hold you in high regard."

South Grant’s words were humble and gentle, showing that they came from the heart.

Timothy Tate eyed her with suspicion, and soon, South Grant continued:

"Please rest now. I’ll come back to see you another day."

Saying this, South Grant turned and left.

After going out, South Grant looked at the bottle in her hand.

This was Fiona Grant’s soon-to-launch product. South Grant handed it over to Dodo and then said to him:

"Take this to Mr. White and have him find reliable people to study the ingredients, speed up production, and rush out a batch. Even if the ingredients are uncertain, as long as it can be used, bring it to market under a similar name but not under The Ellison Group, use another small company’s name to launch it."

After saying this, South Grant added a few more words: "It’s best to do this before Fiona Grant’s company opens."

Dodo took the item and agreed, then curiously asked South Grant:

"Young Master South, even if we develop it, it won’t be the original formula. What if it doesn’t perform as well as theirs?"

"Why compare effectiveness with hers? Their company needs to make a strong first impression. What they launch is crucial, and both the price and the effectiveness will be excellent. Our task now is to use small and miscellaneous brands to disrupt the market, lower their price, tarnish their image and make consumers think that their products are just picked out from among these small brands, rendering their claimed patent research meaningless. This tactic is called ’Fishing in Troubled Waters’ according to the Thirty-Six Stratagems. If they dared to mix things into our products, they won’t get away with it as long as I’m South Grant!"

Dodo finally understood what South Grant wanted to do.

This way, Fiona Grant’s company’s opening wouldn’t go smoothly.

A rough start will have significant consequences later on.

After settling these matters, South Grant returned to the company.

Soon, the quality inspection report came out.

Those products indeed contained carcinogenic substances.
