Chapter 265: Chapter 205: Praised to the Heavens! The Final Immunology Showdown

After Xie Bin’s speech, the faculty and students in attendance were moved by his sincerity and charisma, and they found themselves genuinely approving of Pfizer’s values.

Many of them felt that Pfizer was indeed an excellent partner, and that this was a great opportunity for Wu Ting.

In the livestream chat, all sorts of comments began flooding the screen.

"I never expected Pfizer to be such a great company... My respects!"

"Yeah, Dr. Wu, Pfizer is the best choice! Join them!"

"Their global volunteer program alone is enough to command respect! I also think Dr. Wu should accept a deep collaboration with Pfizer."

"Pfizer really is a great company, especially their R&D center in Xianglin City. It’s truly amazing."

"Compared to that, the R&D base Johnson & Johnson is currently building really doesn’t seem very competitive."

"Dr. Wu Ting, I’d advise you to quit while you’re ahead and not be ungrateful!"

"Pfizer! Pfizer! Pfizer!"

...

...

On the main stage of the lecture hall, Xie Bin made his invitation and then politely stepped down, waiting for Wu Ting’s decision after the lecture was over.

Xie Bin was very satisfied with his speech and brimming with confidence in Pfizer’s power and influence.

’After all, considering the terms they could offer—abundant funding, a top-tier R&D environment, the convenient location in Xianglin City, and Pfizer’s grand ideals—there’s no reason for Wu Ting to refuse!’

’In the next phase of his research, it will be very difficult for him to proceed on his own, or even with a domestic team.’

’If Wu Ting truly doesn’t know what’s good for him, then I’ll have to take the final step: have our own R&D center start parallel research in the relevant field. With Pfizer’s terrifying strength, we would completely crush Wu Ting’s team.’

’Still, inviting Wu Ting, the originator of the concept, remains the best-case scenario.’

The representatives from the four pharmaceutical groups also returned to the waiting room to await the end of the lecture.

At this moment, Dean Song walked out once again to continue his hosting duties.

"It has been a great honor to listen to the presentations and insights from four outstanding domestic and international pharmaceutical companies. Of course, we also look forward to Dr. Wu Ting’s final choice."

"But before that, let’s move on to the climax of our lecture: the Summit of Immunology."

"Let us give a warm welcome to Professor Lin Ning from the HHMI Research Institute, and to our special guest for this lecture—our very own Dr. Wu Ting, who at a young age published a special issue in *Cell* and proposed a brand-new negative immunoregulatory mechanism that shook the fields of immunology and hepatic oncology!"

Dean Song had completely revealed the final "Summit" segment.

Professor Lin Ning and Wu Ting both rose with calm confidence and walked onto the stage.

Seeing this turn of events, everyone was a little incredulous.

"Isn’t this supposed to be a discussion with Deng Fujiu, Ye Xin, Chen Bofeng, and the others?"

"Weren’t we promised a clash of ideas between the great masters—the ’Eastern Heretic,’ ’West Poison,’ ’Southern Emperor,’ and ’North Beggar’—representing all the major schools of thought in immunology?"

"Dr. Wu Ting may have proposed a new mechanism, but are his fundamentals really solid enough to go head-to-head with Professor Lin Ning?"

The students who had read that ’for beginners’ post felt particularly ill at ease, as if they were sitting on pins and needles with a fishbone stuck in their throat.

"We wanted to see a showdown between the heavyweights! We wanted to hear a top-tier clash between the tumor necrosis factor theory, apoptosis theory, the immunological theory of dendritic cells, Natural Killer Cell theory, and the KK complex theory!"

Looking at the young Wu Ting, the crowd suddenly felt a little disappointed, even though they were also looking forward to an exciting performance from him.

After all, anyone who could receive such invitations from four major pharmaceutical companies was certainly no ordinary person. However, compared to long-established industry titans like Deng Fujiu and Ye Xin, he still seemed a bit green.

Even Yan Xi, Wang Nanjin, and others who knew Wu Ting well wondered, ’Does he really have enough accumulated knowledge in immunology to be evenly matched with Professor Lin Ning?’

’Are Dean Song and the school overdoing it by pushing him so hard? The four pharmaceutical companies just put him on a pedestal. Can he actually live up to all this admiration and praise?’

’If he doesn’t perform well, the entire lecture will be a letdown at the very end, and Wu Ting will be utterly humiliated.’

"Wu Ting, you can do it!"

Yan Xi felt nervous and stressed on Wu Ting’s behalf. After all, he was up against Professor Lin Ning.
