Jiang Lin was very concerned about the freckle cream and arranged for someone to make a plan the next day.
Before he could show the plan to Su Yuhe, something unexpected happened on Su Yuhe's side.
Zhao Xiyuan's patent application was rejected on the grounds that the patent had been applied for in advance by someone else.
Su Yuhe was a little confused: "I haven't given the formula to anyone else? Do you know who applied for it?"
Zhao Xiyuan sighed, "I don't know the people over there, but I can be sure that they are definitely not from my team."
Su Yuhe never told anyone else, but Zhao Xiyuan was a team of several people doing research together. He understood Su Yuhe's doubts, but at the same time, he trusted his partners very much.
Su Yuhe pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this matter for now. I'll go back and think of a way to find out who applied first."
She pursed her lips, looked at Zhao Xiyuan, and asked again: "Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with your people?"
"I'm sure," Zhao Xiyuan had no choice but to tell Su Yuhe, "In fact, I'm the only one involved in the process involving the specific formula. The others don't know anything about it. So it can't be them."
Seeing that Zhao Xiyuan was sure of what he said, Su Yuhe felt confused and went home to tell Jiang Lin about it.
Jiang Lin's first reaction was that someone from Zhao Xiyuan's side. After listening to Su Yuhe, he thought about it and said, "Besides him, didn't you use that friend of Madam Xu before? Could it be her?"
"That can't be exactly the same," Su Yuhe said, "There are quite a few differences between what I gave her and what I adjusted later."
Jiang Lin comforted Su Yuhe: "Leave this matter to me, don't worry about it. I'll check to see who applied for it, and then we'll know."
This is the only way for now.
A few days later, Jiang Lin found out that someone named Yang Yingying had applied.
"Yang Yingying?"
Su Yuhe didn't know her, so she asked Zhao Xiyuan, who also didn't know her: "There's no one named Yang Yingying in our institute."
“What about the volunteers?”
Zhao Xiyuan immediately flipped through the record book: "No."
The two remained silent. Unable to find the person, they definitely could not continue production. They had to find out who it was. Perhaps the other party had other intentions, so they could have a good talk with him.
The freckle cream can definitely generate huge profits. If we can pay a small price to get the patent back, that's not impossible.
Of course, if Su Yuhe finds out who it is, she will have to settle accounts with the other party after the dust settles.
Before anyone could find out who Yang Yingying was, she showed up on her own.
That day, Zhao Xiyuan showed Su Yuhe the newspaper: "Look, this is Yang Yingying."
Su Yuhe looked at the woman in the newspaper. She was in her thirties, with wavy hair and a slim long dress, and she was full of charm.
Take a look at the introduction below.
Su Yuhe murmured, "From Hong Kong? In the beauty industry? Coming back to mainland China to invest in the skincare industry?"
Su Yuhe had never met Yang Yingying: "I don't know her. Where did she find the formula?"
Zhao Xiyuan was also puzzled. "I thought about it carefully the last time I went back. My partners had no reason to do this. After all, they didn't know the formula. But now I'm a little unsure. I wonder if someone took it out and sold it. This is my personal property, not the research institute's. Maybe someone was blinded by money and did something like this."
Su Yuhe looked at Zhao Xiyuan: "So, something similar happened in the institute?"
Zhao Xiyuan felt a little ashamed: "Termites, there are termites everywhere..."
Su Yuhe pursed her lips: "Then there are even more suspects. Everyone in your institute is a possibility."
Zhao Xiyuan didn't know what to say.
Su Yuhe suddenly remembered something: "Has your paper on the development of the freckle cream been published?"
Zhao Xiyuan had almost forgotten about it, but when it was mentioned, he remembered: "I haven't received any news yet. Maybe it hasn't been reviewed yet?"
Zhao Xiyuan made a special phone call to ask, but he didn't expect that the journal became very impatient after knowing it was Zhao Xiyuan.
Some people even had a bad attitude and told Zhao Xiyuan to do things down to earth. Plagiarism would be bad enough, but plagiarizing it verbatim was really a disgrace to scholars.
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Zhao Xiyuan a chance to explain.
Zhao Xiyuan was a little confused: "He, he said I plagiarized?"
Su Yuhe heard it and asked, "Did that person steal your thesis as well?"
The two looked at each other and looked through the journal, and found that Zhao Xiyuan's paper was published in the latest issue.
No, it cannot be called Zhao Xiyuan’s paper.
The name above has been changed, but other than that, every word in the title is exactly the same as in Zhao Xiyuan's paper!
"Wu Guocheng? Do you know him?"
Zhao Xiyuan took a long time to speak: "I don't know him. I didn't show the paper to anyone. I completed it independently, revised it, and submitted it. It's also a journal I often submitted to before..."
He didn't want to suspect that it was the journal's fault, but the facts were there.
Su Yuhe exhaled. "The patent was applied for by Yang Yingying, and the paper was published by Wu Guocheng. What is the relationship between these two people?"
Originally, Jiang Lin only knew the name, so it was not easy to check. Now that the other party showed up on his own, Jiang Lin didn't spend much effort to find out the relationship between the people.
"Husband and wife." Jiang Lin showed Su Yuhe the information he had found. "In his early years in Hong Kong, Wu Guocheng was a researcher, and Yang Yingying was originally a prostitute. Later, she went to sell skin care products. With the convenience of Hong Kong, she sold a lot of products to the mainland and accumulated a lot of capital."
Su Yuhe asked again: "What is Wu Guocheng's status in the industry?"
Jiang Lin paused and said, "He's not very famous, and he's just doing some research on household chemicals."
"That's even weirder. Why are you suddenly into skincare? And you're even targeting my freckle cream."
Su Yuhe connected the dots and found it even more bizarre: "The skincare seller applied for a patent for the freckle cream, and the chemical researcher plagiarized Lao Zhao's freckle cream paper. Why did they just happen to target the freckle cream?"
It is impossible for people outside to know about the freckle cream in advance, but these things were obviously prepared by others in advance, and they were able to directly replace Zhao Xiyuan's name.
Su Yuhe felt that the power and influence of the people behind him should not be underestimated.
Su Yuhe suddenly looked at Jiang Lin: "Could it be your rival? They were staring at you, and now they're staring at me?"
Jiang Lin was also thinking, "It's not impossible."
Yang Yingying made a big splash. The second time she appeared in the newspapers was when she launched her personal skincare brand "Yinghuo" and announced her first product -
Yinghuo freckle cream.
It mainly uses Chinese herbal repair ingredients, and with the right course of treatment, it can cure all kinds of spots.
This was the first time Su Yuhe felt so frustrated, which led to a series of pregnancy reactions.
Jiang Lin looked anxious and comforted her: "Don't be too angry, I won't let her do it smoothly."
