Chapter 370

“You wish!” Jeremy motioned for everyone to sit down and began the meeting’s topic.

Given Josie’s current acupuncture skills, she couldn’t perform the treatment independently, so she could only observe the first experiment of acupuncture interventional procedures.

After three consecutive months, the experiment showed no signs of success, and everyone felt a hint of fatigue.

This was how medical research worked. Continuous effort through repeated failures would ultimately lead to success.

With summer vacation nearing its end, Josie was about to begin her fifth year of university.

The first batch of nanorobots from Colby Clem’s company had been deployed in their experiments.

However, the experiment entered a stalemate, making it difficult to advance.

Even without personally participating in the later experiments, Josie felt a hint of anxiety.

During this period, reporter Anna Walker reached out to Josie for the fifth section of her follow-up report on the history of Reedshaw Medicine.

With the Reedshaw family’s permission, Josie shared her apprenticeship story.

The article, which was originally expected to create a small buzz in the community, was once again overshadowed by Natalie’s rising popularity.

Natalie’s third paper was published. Josie hadn’t expected it to come out only after three months.

She had thought that given Natalie’s eagerness for quick success, she wouldn’t have been able to wait this long.

It seemed either David or someone else had advised Natalie to wait.

To build Natalie’s image as a medical genius, it couldn’t be too unrealistic.

After all, research papers required extensive validation experiments. Experiments would take a lot of time to complete.

Seeing Josie lost in thought while staring at Natalie’s paper, Adeline Nicholson and the others, who had returned to the dorm, felt a bit worried.

“Are you okay, Josie?” Zoey reached out and placed her hand on her shoulder.

Josie shook her head. “Nothing’s wrong with me. I was just thinking about recruitment after school starts.

“Professor Wilcourt’s research is progressing well, and we need some new students!”

Allison stretched and said, “There are still a few days until school starts. Why are you rushing?

“Besides, professors don’t select students right at the beginning of the school year every year.

“If you ask me, let’s go shopping. Before, you were busy with experiments and internships. We haven’t hung out in a long time.

“Since we’re free today, how about we go shopping and eat together?”

The proposal received unanimous approval. The four girls dressed up and happily went out.

Josie looked at the mall in front of her, feeling a bit confused. After all that picking, she wondered why they ended up choosing the Clem family’s Mall.

Allison excitedly explained, “Apparently, this mall just opened.

“The basement has a supermarket, and above that are jewelry and cosmetics, shoes and hats, clothing, food and drinks, and a cinema.

“How about we grab something to eat and drink first, then watch a movie, and finally browse the clothing stores? We can head back to school after we’re done shopping.”

Since Allison had arranged everything so they wouldn’t have to carry large bags to the cinema, all three nodded simultaneously and followed Allison to the fifth floor, which was dedicated to food and drinks.

They didn’t take the elevator but opted for the escalators inside the mall.

Allison said this way they could check the mall’s floor plan floor by floor, making it easier to shop later.

Before they even reached the fifth floor, they saw two people in an argument on the escalator.

A man and a woman, completely ignoring the people around them, were relentlessly cursing and pushing each other.

“Jaden, are you even a man? We broke up ages ago. Can you stop pestering me?” The beautiful girl forcefully pulled her hand away from Jaden Monroe.

She then ran quickly down the escalator.

Jaden said, “You hit on me first. Now that you’ve cheated me out of enough money, you want to abandon me and leave? No chance!

“Tina, we can break up, but first, return the money I gave you!”

Jaden came down and pushed Tina Walker, who stumbled forward and fell in front of Josie’s group.
