Weiwei hid her amusement.
Li Pei sat opposite Lou.
"I'm Li Pei."
"I know."
"You didn't introduce yourself."
"You already said we have met."
"We were not introduced then."
"My name is Lou."
"Only Lou?"
"For now."
Li Pei looked interested rather than offended.
Before he could continue, Gu Yan entered carrying a portable medical testing case.
He saw Su Ruo and walked directly toward her.
"Where are the rejected samples?"
"On the table."
"I read your report."
"And?"
"You concluded that the extract was substituted."
"The chemical profile proves it."
"It proves the tested material does not match the certificate. Substitution is only one explanation."
Su Ruo crossed her arms.
"What is the other explanation?"
"Contamination during processing, poor storage, or an error in the supplier's laboratory."
"All of those are reasons to reject the batch."
"I did not say it should be approved."
"Then why are you arguing?"
"I am correcting your conclusion."
