Thea rolled her eyes.
She wondered what other tricks James had.
Who knew that he was going to use her beauty as a reason to get votes?
“Even if I manage to get enough popular votes, they’re only worth 50%. I don’t have any medical knowledge. How would I gather votes from the patients? I would never make the top 100.”
James smiled mysteriously. “Leave that to me. Why don’t you take a walk outside? I’ll take care of the rest.”
Thea nodded, resigned. “Alright then.”
It was exceptionally busy on Medical Street today. She wanted to see it for herself.
She left after she bid James goodbye.
James continued to sit at the entrance of Century Hospital. He took his phone out and called Jay.
As the helmsman of Herbal Biotech, Jay was rarely available for consultation.
Just then, he was sequestered with other experts in the medical world, discussing content for the competition.
His personal phone rang.
He took a look at it. Noticing that it was James, he got up immediately and went to a corner. Softly, he said, “What’s up, James?”
James had a cigarette in his mouth. Carelessly, he said, “This morning, someone hunted me down, but they didn’t kill me. All they did was threaten me with my wife and forced me to ingest some poison. It restricted my movements and I lost my sense of smell.”
“Are you alright?”
“Of course I am.”
“Why are you calling me then?”
James ordered, “Use the underground intelligence network to investigate who tried to kill me this morning. I need to know who’s behind it, but I need them not to know either.”
“James, the medical conference just started. I’m busy. Ronn has taken over the network completely. Could you call him directly if there’s anything you want to know?”
“There’s something else.”
“Tell me.” Jay sounded slightly impatient.
James said, “My wife Thea has registered as a doctor under Century Hospital. You were the genius doctor the last time. Herbal Biotech developed the app in collaboration with some other big organizations. Think of a way to place my wife’s information on the homepage. I want my wife to get more votes.”
“I’m on it.”
After he hung up, Jay called the technical department. He told them to put Thea’s information on the homepage for more exposure.
