Chapter 416 - Heartless
Chapter 416: Heartless
This answer did not surprise the person in charge. It seemed reasonable. However, he was not in a good mood. The corners of his mouth gradually curled down, and his entire face seemed to have frozen. Even the air around him became thinner. He slowly clenched his fists and advised patiently again, “Chief, we can manipulate this matter.
That gentleman didn’t say what we have to do, right? Besides, no matter how powerful he is, he’s still working under the old leader. With the old leader’s personality, how could he allow such a thing to happen? He has always been the most considerate person. Perhaps Mr. Fang did this to satisfy his own selfish desires.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “If the old leader finds out, are you sure he won’t blame us? Chief, we know very well that the preventive medicine released by Xingwei is just to deceive the people outside. Think about it from another perspective. If you were an ordinary person and bought this fake medicine without knowing, causing your family to be killed, how would you feel?”
At this point, he still did not give up trying to convince his superior. After a long silence, the chief’s expression finally relaxed. Just as he was about to continue, the chief suddenly patted the armrest of his chair and said expressionlessly, “You’re not the old leader. How do you know what he’s thinking?!
Since Mr. Fang has said so, it must be the old leader’s wish! You’re just a worker and have never even interacted with him. What makes you think that he doesn’t think so? Mr. Fang has followed that person for more than 10 years! Everyone has two sides to them. You just have to listen to him!”
Seeing that the chief was unmoved, the person in charge did not know what to say. He was just short of saying the pros and cons directly, but the other party was still unmoved. No wonder those who did not know better thought that the chief had taken a bribe! With such a protective look, who would not say that he was a loyal dog when they saw him! Everyone knew clearly that this matter was most likely not the old leader’s idea!
If things got out of hand in the later stages, none of them would be able to escape the consequences of being punished! However, the chief could not make sense of it. If only they could directly report it to the old leader. However, the key was that Fang Tiancheng was the other party’s second-in-command. If they wanted to see him, they had to go through Fang Tiancheng.
Fang Tiancheng was not a fool. How could he let them successfully report him? Perhaps he would be sent into the abyss before he even got to see the old leader. He would be transferred to a rural health station like Lin Ji and would never be able to return to the capital in his life! It was fine for him, but other staff had families to take care of.
I can’t bring innocent people down with me!
As a result, they did not dare to say anything. They could only silently pray that no one would buy this fake medicine. However, they knew very well that this epidemic had come so suddenly that people would definitely rush over to buy it in order to feel at ease. They could only apologize in their hearts.
The person in charge vacillated. In the end, as if he had made a huge decision, he said, “It seems that I’m not suitable to stay here. In the past, I cherished the position that I had worked hard to obtain. I also admired your actions, Chief, but I saw your true colors only now. With someone like you around, even the clearest water will be polluted!”
He took a deep breath and said quickly, “I thought that, at the very least, people wouldn’t do that. Doctors are benevolent. A person like you doesn’t deserve to stay here, but I know that I’m only your subordinate and can’t pull you down. In that case, I’ll take the initiative to leave! I want to resign!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the chief’s eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected that as an old employee, he would be unable to understand his actions. Now, he actually wanted to resign without thinking. He even wanted to pull him down.?What a joke! Who does this person think he is?!
......
Immediately, the veins near his temples bulged. He said in exasperation, “Do you think I begged you to take this position?! Do you know how many people want your power and status?! You’re resigning so easily. I was really wrong about you!”
The person in charge sneered and said, “Fortunately, you’re wrong about me. This proves that we’re not on the same side at all. It’s testing my limit for Mr. Fang to approve the fake medicine. Does he want to deal with Lu Ming Corporation? Impossible! Do you know how important Lu Ming Corporation is?
Releasing Lu Ming’s drug sooner will save lives!
Now he’s the one who is indirectly causing the deaths of ordinary people. Isn’t this heartless?”
The chief was furious. Then he breathed heavily. After his rationality returned a little, he said, “Resign after this is done. Otherwise, I’ll leave a mark on your resume. Your life will be ruined! I remember you have a family, right? A wife and a daughter. You don’t want them to starve to death on the streets with you, right?”
There was an unmistakable threat in his tone.
Without saying anything, the person in charge said angrily, “Chief! Do you still have a conscience! My daughter is only five years old!”
“Ha, my conscience is long gone. You know that your daughter is only five years old. Why don’t you hurry up and earn money for her milk powder?”
The chief looked at the other people who were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally and said, “If you want to leave too, fine! I won’t stop you, but the only condition is that you can leave after doing it! Moreover, everyone has to keep the truth about Xingwei Preventive Medicine a secret. If I find out that someone is spreading information, I’m sorry, but I have no choice but to make you disappear!”
As soon as he said that, the person in charge who wanted to resign immediately gave up. It was as if a bucket of cold water had suddenly fallen from the sky, making their hearts turn cold!
On the other side, ever since the development of the preventive medicine was successful, This Place and Pfizer’s teams were in ecstasy. Chu Jinyu smiled like a flower at the center of the crowd. She opened bottle after bottle of champagne, as if she had endless energy and would never be tired! In order to complement the cheerful atmosphere, Xia Heng and He Xiaopeng turned up the volume of the stereo to the maximum!
Immediately after, people kept toasting Lu Ming. In the beginning, he still knew what to do, but later on, more and more people started to lose focus. Fortunately, the phone in his pocket rang in time. Otherwise, he would not be able to find an excuse to slip out. He looked at the unfamiliar number and answered the call. “Hello?”
“Hello, this is the Drug Administration Assessment Center. Are you Mr. Lu Ming from Lu Ming Corporation?”
After receiving an affirmative answer, the other party was silent for a few seconds before saying, “It’s like this. Your company sent a preventive medicine last night for review…”
