Chapter 107 They Call Me Dr. N
The Harrison Group's global FD product launch venue.
The grand auditorium, built to accommodate five thousand people, now looked embarrassingly empty with barely two hundred attendees.
That number included the fifty people Ethan had brought along, plus Henry's personal contingent of eighty-plus seats meant to fill out the crowd.
The media section was even more desolate, with only a scattered dozen outlets present.
However, the Harrison Group had established global streaming channels, broadcasting simultaneously with hundreds of renowned international media networks.
Everything happening here could reach audiences worldwide through the internet.
Matthew had already made his position crystal clear, anyone daring to attend the Harrison Group's conference could forget about ever securing another contract with the Moore Group.
This threat had left many pharmaceutical industry distributors and partners hesitating outside the Harrison Group's doors.
In the Moore Group's executive office.
Matthew watched the live feed his secretary had projected onto the wall, the massive screen clearly displaying the pathetic scene at the Harrison Group's launch event.
He held a wine glass, gently swirling the red liquid within, and smiled.
"Nicholas, you really do have some nerve."
With the entire world watching, this conference was guaranteed to be a complete laughingstock that would utterly humiliate the Harrison Group.
Soon, the official presentation began. Following the host's introduction, Nicholas strode onto the stage wearing a dark suit, his posture impeccably straight.
His deep eyes swept across the nearly empty auditorium. Not spotting that familiar figure, an indescribable sense of loss flickered through his heart.
But he quickly composed himself, his expression returning to its characteristic composure.
Nicholas invested every ounce of his effort into delivering his prepared speech, sharing the inspiring story behind FD's creation and its founding mission.
When the speech concluded, sparse applause echoed through the vast hall, making the atmosphere feel even more hollow and awkward.
He maintained his dignity, offering a deep bow.
"Now, please welcome our product director to introduce FD and demonstrate its capabilities!"
However, the expected product director never appeared on stage.
Instead, the crisp sound of high heels clicking against the floor echoed from the entrance, growing closer with each step.
Click, click, click.
Each footfall seemed to strike directly at everyone's hearts.
A slender silhouette appeared in the backlighting, her outline rendered somewhat ethereal yet radiating an indescribable presence, like a goddess descending from above.
Step by step, she walked calmly and deliberately toward the spotlight at center stage.
Under everyone's gaze, she strode directly to Nicholas, her lips curved in a confident, composed smile as she proactively extended her hand, grasping his slightly cool palm. The soft touch made his heart skip a beat.
"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Harrison."
Her voice carried clearly through the microphone, reaching every corner of the auditorium and streaming to global audiences.
"I'll take it from here!"
Nicholas was completely stunned. He had no idea why she would suddenly take the stage.
Somewhat bewildered, he walked down to the main seating area, his gaze locked intently on the radiant woman commanding the platform, watching her every movement.
Emma released his hand, turning to face the audience and cameras, her voice clear and powerful.
"Thank you all for attending the Harrison Group's product launch today."
"I'd also like to thank Mr. Harrison for his gracious invitation, allowing me to personally stand here and demonstrate this revolutionary home intelligent diagnostic system, 'Family Doctor,' or FD for short."
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the entire venue before finally settling on Nicholas in the audience below, her eyes sparkling with confidence.
"Before we begin, please allow me a brief introduction."
"I'm Emma, founder of Bluebird Tech."
"Of course, those in our industry circles and some of my followers might be more familiar with another name I go by."
She lifted her chin slightly, her smile radiant with self-assurance.
"They call me Dr. N."
"BOOM!"
Nicholas felt something explode in his brain. His eyes contracted sharply, his body reacting faster than his mind as he shot up from his seat in shock!
Dr. N?
The founder of Bluebird Tech, the mysterious figure hailed as humanity's savior who had developed the cancer treatment equation but never appeared publicly—that legendary Dr. N was actually Emma?
Everyone present who recognized the name Dr. N, whether in the auditorium or watching screens worldwide, jumped to their feet in amazement!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the entire venue—no, the entire internet—erupted in thunderous excitement!
Thunderous applause filled the auditorium, sustained and deafening!
Ethan's voice trembled with shock. "Nicholas, am I hallucinating? Emma is Dr. N?"
The electric atmosphere at the launch was beyond description.
Some unknown small-time distributors who had originally snuck in just for free coffee and a bit of spectacle suddenly found themselves witnessing the legendary Dr. N in person!
Eric reacted with lightning speed, his fingers flying across his phone screen as he opened Dr. N's official Twitter account.
One glance left him completely stunned.
"She is Dr. N! She really is Dr. N!" he whispered in disbelief.
At that very moment, Dr. N's official Twitter was live-streaming this exact conference.
Bluebird Tech's main website had also synchronized the broadcast, with a bold headline: [Dr. N Live at Harrison Group FD Launch Event].
Simultaneously, a pinned announcement appeared on the company website: [Decision to Terminate Mr. Matthew Moore's Position as Bluebird Tech General Manager].
Every word carried enormous weight.
Emma then gestured to the production crew below.
Unit 001 of the FD robot, its blue light ring glowing, quickly glided to her feet.
FD spoke in its characteristic electronic voice, sweet and childlike, "Hi Emma! You look beautiful today! Want hugs, want hugs!"
Nicholas, standing nearby, felt inexplicably irritated hearing this.
Hadn't they changed its programming to say "Mrs. CEO" last time? Who had tampered with its memory files!
Unaware of a certain someone's petty thoughts, Emma crouched down and asked gently, "FD, what's your favorite food?"
FD tilted its round head and answered decisively, "I love donuts most!"
System notification, "Correct answer."
Emma continued, "FD, who do you love most?"
FD responded without hesitation, "I love CEO Nicholas most!"
System notification, "Correct answer."
"FD, what is your mission?"
FD's voice suddenly became solemn, "To save everyone in this world who suffers from illness!"
System notification, "Correct answer."
As soon as those words finished, the metallic band around FD's midsection, previously glowing soft blue, suddenly flickered and transformed into a brilliant golden ring of light.
System notification, "Automatic system upgrade in progress, please wait."
Nicholas was completely dumbfounded.
He had no memory of programming any upgrade sequence into FD's system.
Eric quickly brought his laptop to Nicholas's side, whispering urgently, "Mr. Harrison, the system has triggered an automatic upgrade!"
On the screen, a file name appeared clearly, [Diagnosis and Treatment Protocols for 6 Types of Malignant Tumors].
Nicholas felt an electric current surge from head to toe, his entire body trembling with shock.
It was her!
It had to be from that day at the estate! She had created this program for him—her three questions had triggered the automatic upgrade!
The butler had mentioned she'd spent the entire day in the study, even skipping lunch. She had been working on this!
On stage, Emma picked up a presentation remote and clicked the large screen.
A flock of vivid Bluebird Tech logos spiraled out from the screen's center, finally forming into an elegantly designed eye-shaped logo—the Bluebird Tech trademark.
Taking a deep breath, she began her PowerPoint presentation, each slide bearing that distinctive eye symbol in the header.
Her voice rang clear and resolute through the microphone,
"I'm sure many of you are wondering about the fundamental differences between the Harrison Group's FD system launched today and the Moore Group's DC medical intelligence device unveiled a few days ago."
"Now, I can provide you with answers."
"The most basic difference is that the Harrison Group's FD system incorporates cancer treatment protocols designed personally by me."
"Through FD's intelligent diagnostic system, users can detect potential cancer conditions and receive effective treatment recommendations."
"The system contains six core cancer treatment modules, brain cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer."
She had deliberately separated the lung cancer protocol since that equation had already been publicly released, and the Moore Group's bidding process for related contracts was in advanced stages.
This announcement sent the venue into absolute pandemonium!
The crowd surged like a broken dam, pouring through every entrance as people fought to get closer to the stage.
Camera flashes erupted like strobe lights, nearly blinding in their intensity.
The live stream's viewer count skyrocketed, breaking through ten million!
Nicholas felt his heart take another devastating blow.
He stared in disbelief at the radiant woman on stage, at the PowerPoint clearly listing six types of cancer.
She had actually... she had actually placed the complete equations for these six cancers directly into FD's database, holding nothing back!
Eric excitedly conferred with the technical director beside him before turning to Nicholas, his voice trembling with excitement, "Mr. Harrison, the system is upgrading rapidly! Soon... soon we'll be able to access all the data!"
Meanwhile, in the Moore Group's executive office.
Matthew stared fixedly at Emma's image on screen. When he heard her announce that six cancer protocols had been integrated into the FD system, the blood vessels in his eyes burst instantly as he hurled his phone violently against the wall!
The phone screen shattered on impact, splintering into pieces.
This foolish woman!
For Nicholas's sake, she had revealed her identity and placed herself in enormous danger!
She had even handed over those six priceless cancer equations to the Harrison Group!
No, she hadn't had time to create all this—it had to be fake!
Did she have any idea what those things represented? They were wealth and power capable of reshaping the world order!
If the Harrison Group's FD really contained those six cancer treatment formulas, the Moore Group's DC would pale in comparison—defeat was inevitable!
Grabbing his coat, he rushed toward the exit. He had to get her back!
