He opened the folder containing the review comments and skimmed through it as quickly as possible.
"Academician Hou, I just took a look. The Review Team couldn't find references for most of the content because it's basically all original material—results produced by my Scientific Research Team last year." Song He replied, "I can guarantee it's correct!"
