At this 'conference' in Palm Springs.
It really has a sense of being out of place.
After all, Palm Springs is a nice place, and if you hold a serious academic conference here.
That would indeed waste its beautiful scenery.
Besides, don't forget what our conference is about.
Resveratrol
And this substance actually exists in grapes and some natural plants.
Professor Di Parker's research is like this.
Mainly delving into the positive effects of red wine on cardiovascular disease.
Since we have red wine, then this academic conference.
Might as well be turned into a wine party.
Anyway, those who can come here are all renowned doctors from the West Coast.
So, this wine party cum academic discussion was held at the most luxurious hotel in Palm Springs.
We're doctors used to seeing the world; this hotel is just so-so.
Here it's resplendent and bustling.
The doctors, having taken off their white coats, are also quite relaxed.
Most are leisurely holding wine glasses, chatting with each other.
Apparently, the academic part hasn't started yet.
But until Zhou Mo Sen arrived.
Everyone's gaze turned to him.
"Hi~"
The attention wasn't because of Zhou Mo Sen, but the beautiful woman beside him.
South African Beauty Diamond·Charlize Theron!
Indeed, this banquet, oh, it should be called an academic conference.
The conference itself didn't say you could bring a female companion.
But it didn't say you couldn't either.
And when Zhou Mo Sen brought Charlize Theron to the hotel, someone came to ask.
Soon, they were allowed through.
Even more interesting, before entering the venue, GlaxoSmithKline's California representative, Mr. William, showed up.
"Welcome, the new film queen."
Mr. William is already over fifty, but now his face is full of smiles, kind and amiable.
Obviously, Charlize Theron could enter.
And the reason is... she's an Oscar-winning actress.
"I really just wanted to try it out before." She whispered to Zhou Mo Sen.
Knowing she could enter, Charlize Theron was a bit apprehensive.
Zhou Mo Sen certainly understood. He gently patted Charlize Theron's hand, "Do you think I'm the kind of man who would let you come for nothing?"
These words... Theron smiled.
She quickly understood; Zhou Mo Sen had likely confirmed long ago that Theron could attend this meeting.
But, why?
Actually, Zhou Mo Sen had seen through this meeting.
GlaxoSmithKline just hopes doctors will help them advertise:
Drinking red wine is good for health.
Oh, sorry, not rigorous enough.
We doctors should say: Drinking red wine in moderation is good for health, can soften blood vessels, can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Such professional statements coming from our mouths.
What kind of effect will it produce?
This, of course, is not advertising, but it's more convincing than any advertisement.
Because it's said by doctors, and very rigorous.
So, if there's an additional Oscar-winning actress, isn't that better?
Zhou Mo Sen's confidence affected Charlize Theron.
"Actually..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Can you guess?"
"Can't guess."
"Try guessing."
"Don't want to guess."
These words made Charlize Theron feel like hitting him.
But this conversation sounds meaningless, yet like flirting.
Just like that, the two of them entered the venue.
And upon entry, they attracted a lot of attention.
Many of which were... envious, jealous, resentful!
This was mainly Zhou Mo Sen's gain, and Charlize Theron's was much simpler.
Many doctors are quite flirtatious in their daily lives too.
Zhou Mo Sen, in a way, is an honest man.
But Zhou Mo Sen was quite surprised; there was actually an acquaintance here.
"Dr. Carlos, ha..."
"Dr. Zhou, hello."
Actually, it wasn't just Zhou Mo Sen who was surprised; Carlos was also surprised.
The Vice President of San Diego didn't expect to see Zhou Mo Sen here either.
All the renowned doctors are here, and many are from the cardiovascular field.
Zhou Mo Sen is a plastic surgeon, at least currently, he's famous in the United States for cosmetic surgery.
How does a cosmetic surgeon have the qualifications to attend this conference?
But as soon as this question popped up, Carlos immediately thought of the Governor.
It must have been an invitation from the Governor!
Don't say it; the Vice President is quite good at guessing.
But this was an easy guess.
Anyway, what's really bothering Carlos is.
You, Zhou Mo Sen, come as you like, but with an Oscar-winning actress as your companion?
Your... Carlos was practically fuming.
But that's not all.
Zhou Mo Sen leisurely holding Charlize Theron's hand, looked at the Vice President and said, "Actually, if I were you, I wouldn't have come to this conference."
"Why?" Carlos frowned.
Zhou Mo Sen gave a meaningful smile, "You'd better worry about yourself."
What does this mean?
Carlos instantly understood; Zhou Mo Sen was surely up to something again!
But what was he attacking this time?
Carlos was completely clueless.
The Vice President, who was quite good at guessing moments ago, was now stunned.
By the time he came back to himself, Zhou Mo Sen had already walked away with Charlize Theron.
More furious!
Unfortunately, there was no way to retaliate now, as other doctors came over to chat with him.
Soon, the meeting officially began; the academic portion arrived.
"Ladies and gentlemen, doctors and professors, I, Di Parker, make an important commitment to the research results we're about to publish! These results fully comply with scientific…"
Zhou Mo Sen sat with Charlize Theron, listening to this professor's lecture on stage.
Di Parker, also known as Dean Parker.
This professor is well-known, from the University of Connecticut.
Moreover, he has a good partner.
Professor Sinclair, a renowned American cardiovascular disease expert.
They are a perfect team, working in tandem.
Sinclair claims to have published a paper in Nature magazine.
Resveratrol is absolutely effective!
And this effectiveness...
"Experiments show that the most effective way for humans to ingest resveratrol daily is to drink red wine..."
Here, the truth finally reveals itself!
Many doctors and professors applauded and cheered.
And what about Zhou Mo Sen?
He almost laughed out loud.
He covered his mouth with his hand, then clapped a little.
Such an act was naturally captured by Charlize Theron next to him.
"Dr. Zhou, could it be..."
The actress whispered.
Zhou Mo Sen whispered back, "Red wine is made from grapes, so why not promote eating grapes?"
Just one sentence, and Charlize Theron suddenly understood.
To be honest, she had been listening with full agreement earlier.
When doctors and experts say red wine is good, what doubt is there?
Now with Zhou Mo Sen's words, he directly exposed the scam.
Of course, according to Di Parker and Sinclair, the concentration of resveratrol is higher in red wine.
But, after all, red wine is alcohol.
Alcohol is a type of carcinogen!
Actually, what they're up to, GlaxoSmithKline wants to promote resveratrol supplements.
While hyping red wine and vineyards.
Chinese investors have also been duped quite a bit.
Seeing such a scam, Zhou Mo Sen knew saying anything would be useless; the invitation was from the Governor; he couldn't refuse.
To Zhou Mo Sen, this whole conference was just a charade.
The folks on stage, all actors, all frauds, but usually wearing white coats, posing as doctors.
Finish early, then with the South African Beauty Diamond...
Just as the meeting was about to end, a young lady approached proactively.
"You are Dr. Zhou Mo Sen, right?"
"That's me, and you are??"
"I'm Elizabeth Holmes. I currently have a research project; I wonder if Dr. Zhou would be interested?"
"What project?"
Zhou Mo Sen found the name Elizabeth familiar but couldn't immediately recall.
But then, she talked about the project.
"We all know that cancer checks are very troublesome; what if we could detect cancer with just a drop of blood?"
"This..."
Zhou Mo Sen suddenly remembered.
Wow, two scams in one meeting!
