Chapter 426: Don’t Worry
Meanwhile, Lu Ming was sitting on a leather chair, handling official business. Chu Jinyu was nodding her head from time to time, looking sleepy. The television not far away was tuned to a low volume, and she could barely hear the syllables. However, this harmony did not last long.
“It’s said that ever since the Xingwei Preventive Medicine was officially released, there has been a serious shortage of supply. Every time a new batch was released, it would be snapped up crazily. This is enough to see how popular this medicine is. However, it’s very normal. After all, with an infectious disease wreaking havoc now, this is equivalent to people’s only antidote. Miss Tang Wenyi has also strongly recommended this medicine on the show…”
The female host in the news said calmly. Lu Ming, who was signing documents, paused. Is there really a company that has produced it? And is it related to Tang Wenyi? He looked up and saw that familiar face on the screen. He raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t expect the other party to be so capable. Did she beat me to it this time?
Although he did not want to see his enemies doing better than him, this matter was not only beneficial to him, but also to the people. He could not say anything after it saved so many people. However… He thought that with Tang Wenyi’s personality, she would not think so far ahead! It seemed that he was blind. He did not expect her to be so concerned about other people’s lives.
However, he thought that this was also good. This way, there was no need to rush the progress of the review on his side. It would not be a problem even if he took it slow.
Chu Jinyu had woken up at some point. She looked at the television and curled her lips. “So the old witch can do good things too? I thought that with her money-grubbing personality, she would definitely not waste money on this. Are you sure there’s no conspiracy?”
“Humans are complicated creatures. Maybe the other party really just wants to do good?”
Lu Ming laughed. Although what his wife said made sense, this infectious disease was not a small matter. No matter how stupid Tang Wenyi is, she shouldn’t have tampered with it, right? If she really did… His eyes darkened. No, no, no. He hoped that he was overthinking.
He slowly exhaled. As long as the antidote was developed, it didn’t matter who produced it. At the end of the day, his goal was to reduce unnecessary loss of lives. He didn’t care who earned the money. The sooner this medicine was sold, the sooner this illness and suffering would end.
However, Chu Jinyu was not convinced. Tang Wenyi had left a deep impression on her. If such a terrible person could do good deeds, she might as well believe that the end of the world was coming! However, she remembered what her mother had once said.
‘There’s something to learn even from the enemy.’ She should not be biased.
She rubbed her chin. No matter how she thought about it, she could not think of anything good about Tang Wenyi that was worth learning. Is it her opportunism or her bossy temper? Perhaps she snatched the prescription from someone else this time! However, it has been a while but nothing has been exposed. Perhaps I’m overthinking?
It can’t really be like what she was bragging about on television, right? If that’s the case, why didn’t I see any clues before? Instead, she chased after my Brother Lu Ming and wanted to kill him as soon as possible. How could such a person be a good person? Isn’t that a pure joke?
However, she could not think of any other guesses at the moment. She could only wrap her arms around her calves. “In any case, I won’t believe her.”
Hearing this, Lu Ming said with a smile, “I know you’re feeling indignant for me, but that’s the reality. If you really don’t want to believe it, let’s go and investigate. When the truth is in front of you, you won’t be unconvinced, right?”
An investigation?!
Chu Jinyu’s eyes instantly lit up. She hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright! Then it’s a deal! I…” She suddenly stopped and looked tentatively at her husband.” Have you finished settling your work? I heard from Mr. He that you’re going to conduct a new experiment soon, so you’re very busy, right? ”
She recalled He Xiaopeng’s expression not long ago. He even said that he wanted to borrow her Brother Lu Ming. At the thought of this, a faint blush crept up her cheeks and ears. It was not worth it to abandon his work for such a small matter.
Just as she was about to refuse, Lu Ming’s smile did not fade. He said, “I’ve been busy with the preventive medicine a while ago. Now that I’m free, I naturally have to accompany you. Moreover, there’s no hurry with the project over there. It’s too boring dealing with documents all day. I’ll just treat it as relaxing.”
Chu Jinyu knew that these words were to comfort her. Her heart warmed. “Alright! Then it’s settled. Where should we start the investigation?”
“I’ve already asked my subordinates to arrange an appointment with a worker from the Xingwei Pharmaceutical Factory. The other party is getting impatient. Let’s go over now. We might really be able to get something out of him.”
Even though he had spent a lot of money to pry open the other party’s mouth, if he could win his wife’s favor, it would be worth it no matter how much money he spent. Moreover, Lu Ming Corporation was a big company now, so how could it lack this bit of money? It really matched the outside world’s guess—if Lu Ming was more ostentatious, he would probably use Chinese yuan to pave an endless road.
…
On the other side, Doctor Li nervously did some research after receiving the medicine. He looked at the stack of reports in his hand and his frown deepened. This Xingwei Preventive Medicine did not even pass the most basic examination and scored much lower than the average medicine. Moreover, there were actually not many medicinal ingredients!
Then can this be considered medicine?
How could Tang Wenyi go against her conscience and brag about it? There’s no one like her in the world. Wouldn’t anyone who bought this become an innocent victim? He recalled the recent craze and couldn’t help but sneer. She must have made a killing, right?
For such a small benefit, she sacrifices human lives without a care! Tang Wenyi even dared to say that she’s qualified to take charge of an epidemic situation. Is she treating us as fools? If I hadn’t discovered the problem early, the other villagers would have died!
He couldn’t help but think that if Xingwei didn’t cause this trouble, those people might still be alive. At least, they could wait for the real preventive medicine to appear!
In the eyes of these businessmen, is the value of human lives determined by money?
Disappointment, despair, and other emotions kept rushing as his nerves tightened up. If even an old pharmaceutical company in China is like this, does this country still have a future? Or is it already firmly controlled by capitalism? Goosebumps appeared on his arms. Who could save these poor ordinary people?
He gripped the documents in his hand tightly, as if he wanted to rip them. The flames of anger in his eyes grew stronger!
