Chapter 150: Two staff members in the uniform of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau were led away in a dejected manner. They walked swiftly through the crowd and stood in front of her.
One of them showed a document with a serious expression and said in a clear voice:
"Ms. Xia Qingqing, the Qingmiao vaccine for which you are the principal investigator has been investigated by our department and found that several key safety indicators do not meet the standards of the Regulations on Veterinary Drug Administration and relevant technical specifications. Therefore, it has been ordered to be completely suspended from marketing and use in accordance with the law."
Another person continued, his tone unquestionable: "Please immediately cooperate with us and go to the bureau to assist in the investigation and verify the relevant details."
The conference hall, which was bustling just now, suddenly became silent.
Xia Qingqing showed an expression of disbelief on her face: "What do you mean it was stopped? It was stopped today?"
"Did you make a mistake?"
The staff member unfolded the document in front of her, speaking calmly and clearly:
"We couldn't possibly get this regulatory matter wrong."
"The document clearly states: The 'Light Second' vaccine you developed has an effective rate highly similar to a 'Claw Shield' vaccine that was previously deemed unqualified, yet it passed all tests during the application process."
The staff member said sternly, "If you believe there's a misunderstanding, please immediately cooperate with our investigation. Clarifying the facts as quickly as possible is beneficial to you and the public, and will save time."
Xia Qingqing could clearly feel the astonished gazes from the school leaders, guests in the front row, and students, all focused on her as if they were real!
Even the host was stunned by this sudden turn of events and forgot to smooth things over for a moment!
At that moment, Xia Qingqing felt that the whole place was as silent as ice, and she felt as if she was being roasted naked on a fire, her face burning painfully.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and lowered her voice to the staff, saying hurriedly, "...Hurry up. Don't go through the main entrance."
Amidst all the strange looks, Xia Qingqing hurriedly left the scene with the staff, looking dusty and dusty.
It happened to be the opening ceremony of the school, and many Jiangcheng media were present.
The sharp-eyed reporters immediately realized that there was big news, and they raised their cameras and took a lot of pictures of her embarrassed back, with the sound of shutter clicks coming one after another!
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, and the newcomers were whispering and discussing:
"What's going on? Who are those two people?"
"Wasn't she just about to go on stage? Why was she taken away?"
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "Check your phone! News push—the 'light second vaccine' has been halted just after it was released!"
"What's going on? Something went wrong with the vaccine?!"
"It's said to be highly similar to a 'Claw Shield' vaccine that failed testing, yet it somehow passed approval!"
"No way? Isn't Xia's Pet Hospital a national chain brand? This is too outrageous!"
Even the city leaders in the front row frowned and turned to Principal Su:
"Principal Su, what on earth is going on?"
Principal Su was completely confused at this moment. Listening to the increasingly loud discussions around him, he hurriedly took out his cell phone.
As soon as he saw the news headline, his face turned pale and he muttered in disbelief: "How is this possible!"
"Xia Corporation... How could such a large chain organization have such a problem with the vaccine?!"
Principal Li's heart sank when he saw the news on his phone, but he quickly calmed himself down and immediately made arrangements, signaling the first new representative to go on stage first to hold the fort.
The teacher in charge of the on-site flow hurried over and said in a low voice, "Principal Su, Principal Li, this is trouble!"
"We've specifically reported this to the city leaders, saying the College of Veterinary Medicine will definitely send an outstanding representative to give a speech. This speech will also be used in the college's latest recruitment video to highlight the strength of our veterinary program..."
"Now that Xia Qingqing has suddenly left, this speaking spot has become vacant. How am I going to explain this to the leadership?"
Principal Li glanced around and his eyes landed on Xia Zhining who was sitting quietly in the audience.
He immediately hurried over and said sincerely, "Xia Zhining, you are also an outstanding alumnus in our veterinary medicine field. The situation is urgent right now. Could you please help save the situation?"
Xia Zhining was slightly surprised: "Ah? Me?"
Principal Li quickly took over, offering encouragement: "You've spoken at the Global Veterinary Exchange Conference. An opening ceremony should be no problem for you, right?"
He lowered his voice and laughed, "And if you're willing to help, the school will not only publicize your speech as an example of an outstanding alumnus, but also highlight it."
