Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!

The office area adopts an open layout, with each workstation equipped with a high-end office computer and an ergonomic chair. The workstations are separated by green plants, which not only ensures privacy but also creates a comfortable working atmosphere.

The employees were all focused on their work, some analyzing experimental data on their computers, their fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard;

Some were reviewing professional literature, their brows furrowed, their expressions serious; others were discussing problems encountered in research and development in hushed tones, their tone urgent yet organized. The entire office area was filled with a strong academic atmosphere and a positive work ethic.

"Our core team members are all graduates of top medical schools at home and abroad, with an average of more than 8 years of professional experience. They have accumulated a lot of technical expertise in the extraction of bioactive ingredients and formulation optimization. Three of them have also worked in internationally renowned biological laboratories."

Dr. Chen spoke with a hint of pride, "To ensure R&D efficiency, we also regularly organize our team to participate in academic exchange activities within the industry to keep abreast of the latest R&D technologies and market trends."

The door to the archives room uses a dual fingerprint and password lock, ensuring extremely high security.

Stepping into the resource room, one finds rows of tall, solid wood bookshelves neatly arranged, filled with professional books and journals related to biomedicine, beauty, and skincare, including publications such as the *International Journal of Biomedical Engineering*, *Journal of Dermatology and Venereology*, and *Research on Cosmetics*.

There were also a large number of original foreign language books. Next to the bookshelves, in the filing cabinets, various experimental reports and research materials were neatly stored, each file box clearly labeled for easy retrieval. Dr. Chen casually picked up an experimental report and handed it to Jiang Wenxi:

"This is our previous experimental report on the extraction of plant active ingredients. It details the experimental objectives, methods, data, and conclusions. Each report has been reviewed multiple times to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the data."

Jiang Wenxi took the report and flipped through a few pages. She saw that the experimental data was detailed, the charts were clear, the conclusions were rigorous, and the handwriting was neat, which showed that the research and development management of the institute was very standardized.

As Jiang Wenxi toured the site, she listened attentively to Dr. Chen's introduction and occasionally asked some professional questions.

At the entrance to the active ingredient extraction laboratory, she pointed to the low-temperature extraction instrument and asked, "How stable is the operation of this extraction instrument? How long can it work continuously?"

Dr. Chen immediately responded: "This instrument is very stable and can work continuously for up to 24 hours. We have conducted long-term operational tests before, and the fluctuation range of extraction accuracy does not exceed 0.02mg, which can fully meet the experimental requirements."

In the safety testing laboratory, she asked, "What testing methods do you use for your cytotoxicity tests? How long does the testing cycle typically take?"

Dr. Chen patiently explained: "We use the MTT assay, which is highly sensitive, easy to operate, and has a testing cycle of approximately 72 hours. It can accurately detect the toxic effects of the product on cells."

Dr. Chen answered all of Jiang Wenxi's questions in detail, with a rigorous and professional tone, leaving no room for ambiguity. Through the site visit, Jiang Wenxi gained a more intuitive and in-depth understanding of the research and development capabilities of this institute.

Although it is not large in scale, it has advanced equipment, a clean and standardized environment, a professional and focused R&D team, and detailed and reliable experimental data. Its overall strength fully meets her expectations, which makes her more confident in future cooperation.

After the tour, Dr. Chen led Jiang Wenxi to a small conference room on the third floor. The conference room was simply and formally furnished, with tea and relevant research materials already laid out on the table.

After everyone was seated, the negotiations officially began.

"Dr. Chen, I am very impressed with the research environment and professionalism of your institute after the visit."

Jiang Wenxi picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and cut straight to the point, "I suppose you've already seen the formula framework that I had Jiang Wei forward? The main reason I invited you here today is to discuss the collaborative development of 'Healing Gel' based on this framework."

She tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, her gaze sweeping over the two researchers beside Dr. Chen, and added, "I know your team has a deep understanding of the field of bioactive ingredient extraction, which is the core reason why I chose to discuss cooperation with you."

Dr. Chen adjusted his glasses, his tone carrying both professional rigor and an undisguised excitement:

"I've reviewed it. The formula framework provided by Ms. Jiang is very novel, especially the formulation of highly active repair factors, which completely overturns the conventional formula logic currently on the market."

"Our team conducted preliminary simulation analysis overnight and discovered that the repair mechanism of this gel is very unique. It works by activating the skin's own repair activity, rather than through traditional external nourishment. This is a groundbreaking approach in the industry." He gestured to the young R&D staff member beside him.

"Xiao Li, show Ms. Jiang the preliminary analysis report we compiled last night." Dr. Chen continued, "Xiao Li, the R&D staff member, immediately took out a printed report from his briefcase and handed it over."

"After preliminary analysis, our team believes that this formula is highly feasible. Once successfully developed, it will definitely fill the gap in the high-end sensitive skin repair market and become a blockbuster product. However, there are two core technical challenges that we still need to confirm with you."

"Go ahead," Jiang Wenxi said, taking a sip of her tea. Her tone was calm.

"Firstly, how can we maximize the preservation of the activity of the highly active repair factors mentioned in the formula during the extraction process? We have conducted extraction experiments on similar ingredients, and conventional low-temperature extraction processes can only retain up to 60% of the activity, which will seriously affect the product's efficacy."

Dr. Chen explained clearly, gesturing lightly on the table with his fingertips, "Secondly, the formula requires the purity of the ingredients to reach over 99.8%. Our most advanced purification equipment can only achieve 98.5%. Although the remaining impurities are trace, they may cause discomfort for people with sensitive skin, which contradicts the product's positioning of being 'suitable for all skin types.'"

Another R&D staff member added, "Moreover, we found that the ratio of the two core ingredients in the formula requires extreme precision, with an error not exceeding 0.1%. Conventional mixing equipment has difficulty ensuring uniform mixing, which is a key issue that needs to be addressed in subsequent mass production."

Jiang Wenxi had anticipated these questions and calmly replied, "Regarding the preservation of the activity of the repair factors, I have supplementary technical parameters here, you can take a look."

She gestured for Jiang Wei to hand the pre-printed materials to Dr. Chen, "These materials specify the special requirements for ultra-low temperature vacuum extraction environment—gradient extraction is carried out in a vacuum environment at -40℃, and a special activity stabilizer is added, which can increase the activity retention rate to over 95%."
