Chapter 453: Closing Down
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, as more and more people flooded the official website, the test report on Xingwei Preventive Medicine was finally made public at around 10 a.m.! However, the moment it was released, many people were dumbfounded! As expected, the comments section exploded!
[Oh my! Where’s the person who said that the claims that the medicinal effect was 0% were rumors? Isn’t this a slap in the face? What’s going on with Xingwei? Why isn’t the medicine they made effective at all? Aren’t they treating us like fools? Fortunately, I didn’t buy their medicine because I was poor!]
[Ever since the news spread that the medicinal effect was zero, some people said that Xingwei was dirty to begin with. It was said that there was even a factory that specially made fake medicine. The employees inside had all signed a confidentiality agreement. If there was any leakage, they would have to pay a sky-high penalty for breaching the contract. They might even be chased out of Shanghai!]
[I almost forgot. Didn’t Xingwei pay the Internet Water Army to post negative information about Lu Ming Corporation a while ago? Someone even produced evidence to refute the comments, but a group of people with extreme views were unwilling to believe it. They said that Lu Ming Corporation self-directed and acted out the entire drama. From the looks of it, aren’t these people just cannon fodder? Xingwei doesn’t take Lu Ming Corporation seriously at all!]
[So… if I’m not wrong, the officials were bribed by Xingwei? They couldn’t have been fooled too, right? If such an obvious low-quality medicine could pass the review, weren’t the officials responsible? Don’t you want to show some accountability? If something happens, Lu Ming Corporation is still the most reliable. They can save the dying and heal the injured in the shortest time! Lu Ming Corporation!]
…
As expected, the trending topic of Xingwei Preventive Medicine being fake was pushed to the top of the trending list! Production of other drugs by the company was forcefully halted. As more and more people saw the news, the originally prosperous Xingwei declined in a few breaths!
The market value of its stock decreased repeatedly. Lei Jiacheng and Xu Xiaojing borrowed all the money from everyone around them in an attempt to turn the tide! However, it fell so quickly that they did not even have time to react! In the end, they collapsed on the sofa dejectedly and waited for the final outcome!
It was unknown how many people had called. After Xu Xiaojing numbly pressed the answer button, she said weakly, “Why are you looking for me? I think I need to clean up now. If it’s not urgent, I’ll call you back later.”
“… Vice Chairman, Xingwei is bankrupt.”
These few words made her unable to get up again! She knew that the company was in a mess, and she had long known that her fake medicine would be discovered sooner or later, but retribution came too quickly! So much so that she felt a little surreal at this moment.?The company that I’ve worked so hard for all these years has collapsed? Am I still dreaming?
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She bit her red lips tightly, unwilling to bow to reality no matter what.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared on the television. A handsome host in a black work uniform was asking the young man beside him, “CEO Lu, you must have encountered many difficulties when developing preventive drugs, right? Because you’re the first person in the country to make a real preventive drug, can you tell us why you’re so obsessed with this matter?”
......
“At that time, I thought it was very simple. I didn’t want to see the virus harm my family, and I didn’t want to see anyone die because of it. Therefore, I gathered research experts from all over the world. I was in charge of funding the research, and they were in charge of researching for results. Unfortunately, if the review had been approved sooner, we might be able to save more lives.”
Lu Ming said with a smile, “Also, since I have the ability, why don’t I do it? To me, it’s just my duty. Besides, I’ve never tolerated something objectionable, and I hate deception. Human lives are not something that can be trifled with.”
“Hahahaha, looks like Mr. Lu has also heard some news recently! Then can you tell me what difficulties you encountered when you carried out this matter?”
As for who they were talking about, everyone knew very well! Wasn’t Xingwei the only pharmaceutical company that had been in the limelight recently? Regardless of whether it was positive or negative publicity, things had reached an extreme!
“There were a lot of difficulties. For example, it’s very troublesome to extract the virus cells at the beginning. There’s also the drug review. I had to submit a lot of documents and so on. In fact, I’m even surprised that I could do it in such a short time. How lucky was I to be able to gather so many geniuses in one place!”
Wherever the geniuses were, they would shine their light on the remaining people. Moreover, so many geniuses had been recruited by This Place. They did not know if they should say that they were lucky or joke around. Even geniuses had to live! They did not know what they were really thinking, but they could occasionally pry into it.
Xu Xiaojing did not listen to what he said after that. She looked at Lu Ming, who was constantly being praised, and complicated emotions of envy and jealousy immediately surged in her heart. However, she regretted it even more. She regretted that she had gone against Lu Ming Corporation. She had done a good job of making fake medicine. If she did not go against this person, she would have continued developing some fake prevention medicine. Perhaps the company would still be fine now!
If she could always control the company, she might be able to escape unscathed in the end. She wouldn’t have to be called a black-hearted boss now that her family’s wealth was gone! She didn’t understand—why did she have to earn that bit of money as if she was possessed? Although she was indeed short of money, and the benefits were big enough to tempt her.
However, if she had worked steadily during that period of time, she would have been able to fill the shortfalls in the company! Why did she make such a risky move?
She thought of Tang Wenyi’s excuse and couldn’t help but subconsciously pin the blame on her. If it weren’t for this fake friend of hers, would she be in this state??Tang Wenyi can do these things as she pleases because the Tang family wipes her *ss! What do I have!
Why didn’t she think that Tang Wenyi was so eloquent before?
Unfortunately, no matter how much they regretted it, reality would not change. They had to accept the news that their company was bankrupt. Just as they were about to pack up and find a place to start from scratch, the doorbell suddenly rang. They looked at each other.
He was already in such a sorry state. Who else would come looking for him?
Without any time to think, the urgent ring of the doorbell interrupted their thoughts. Lei Jiacheng opened the door and saw a few people in formal clothes. Their aggressive looks made him instinctively feel that they were up to no good. He said weakly, “May I know who you are?”
“Mr. Lei Jiacheng, right? Please come with us with your wife. We received a report that you were making fake medicine. Now, you need to accept an official investigation.”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaojing immediately felt the world spin and fainted on the spot!
