Li Xiuying: "The first document contract with Emerald Hospital stated that any research they funded would belong to them. Look down at the signature—it is only printed with my name, not signed, so no valid contract exists."
Everyone in the room felt a sense of foreboding as they looked at the document.
Ding De: "Hold on Dr Li, I have a copy of the contract here with your signature." He had his assistant hand the document over.
Li Xiuying: "This is a forged signature, poorly at that." She then handed various IDs and even quickly signed a blank sheet of paper for them to have a look. She took a photo of the document also.
Ding De: "What are you doing?"
Li Xiuying: "Collecting evidence in case we need to go to trial. Forgery is illegal, I don't appreciate having someone impersonate me into signing a modern-day slave contract."
Ding De: "This was delivered to us by your assistant Sun Yu. I'm sure we have security footage."
