Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 436 - Clash



Chapter 436: Clash

 

“So I hope Mr. Lu can understand our difficulties. We are already working overtime.”

However, Lu Ming did not buy it.

“No, that’s not what I want to ask. Chief Zhao said that No. 1 is under the supervision of the Imports Bureau. Not long ago, the Imports Bureau asked me to go to the Drug Administration. That’s stalling for time for no reason. Did you discuss this? Or did someone give you a death order to do this? For example…

Mr. Fang.”

Oh, my!

The other party actually revealed his cards?! He thought that Lu Ming would wrangle with him for a while before asking him for information in a roundabout manner. He did not expect to be caught off guard! How could he answer this?

For some reason, he suddenly recalled what had happened previously. The employees who had spoken with Lu Ming had mysteriously become autistic, so they had yet to come to work!

Therefore, the rumors in their bureau about Lu Ming being a demon king who ate people without blinking gradually became more and more intense. He had heard countless versions of it! At first, he did not believe it. How powerful could a brat in his early twenties be? Now, he finally experienced it for himself. His ability to hit the nail on the head was probably much better than others!

No wonder when he personally went to ask the employees who were on leave to come back, they all looked like they had seen a ghost. Then they shook their heads desperately and refused to speak. When his tone became a little harsher, those people would rather resign than go back to work. They were still recuperating at home today. At one point, they would faint when they heard the words ‘Lu Ming’!

This also caused Lu Ming’s reputation as the Demon King to spread further and further. The people who picked up his phone calls all wanted to take leave. At the very least, they had to avoid this period of time! They were all secretly guessing when Lu Ming would call and how many calls he would make. Who knew that this time, he would look for him, the chief!

However, does Lu Ming know Fang Tiancheng, the popular person beside the old leader? Could it be that he has heard about him from someone? Or has he seen him somewhere before? No matter which option it was, this meant that Lu Ming’s methods and connections were extraordinary. Coupled with Lu Ming’s persistence, Chief Chen’s headache was about to return.

“Mr. Lu, you’re thinking too much. The Drug Administration and the Import Bureau both represent the officials. Our attitude is naturally fair and just. The process of importing medicine is very long and has nothing to do with anything else. Don’t worry, Mr. Lu. I’ll definitely inform you as soon as it passes the review.”

Lu Ming said with a smile, “Do you think I believe you? If I remember correctly, even the domestic drug review isn’t as fast as Xingwei’s, right? I discovered something interesting. According to my investigation, although the official release was on the 13th, Xingwei Preventive Medicine was already sold through channels three days before that. Can you explain what’s going on?

If you say there’s nothing fishy about this, it’s a lie!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jianxin immediately gasped. The Drug Administration actually passed the review so many days in advance? Even a child could sense that something was wrong, right? The review period was too short. He didn’t quite understand what Fang Tiancheng wanted to do. Wasn’t this too ostentatious?

Furthermore, if they did it, they should have cleaned up the traces. They were actually discovered?! If Lu Ming knows, won’t others be able to find out about this if they want to? Then… won’t we be finished?! Just thinking about this scene made him feel that his future was bleak.

“Chief Chen, are you listening?”

This sentence was like a call from the depths of hell, as if it was telling him that avoidance was useless. His expression turned extremely ugly. What does the Drug Administration’s problem have to do with me? How am I supposed to answer this? He seemed to understand why his employees would rather resign than deal with Lu Ming.

If it were someone else with a weak psychological defense, they would have collapsed long ago!

Beads of cold sweat rolled down his jawline. He said with a dry mouth, “I, of course I was listening. What did you just say? Sorry, I was distracted.”

He felt that he was being a genius! He hoped that Lu Ming would not pursue this matter and get to the bottom of it, that he would just let it go! He would treat it as giving him face. As long as Lu Ming did not mention this matter, he would definitely return this favor next time! He would give him a chance to owe him a favor! He had never yearned for this as much as now.

In the past, when people wanted to build a relationship with him, he did not even look them in the eye. But now, it was as if his position was reversed. It was his turn to suffer mental torture! Even his initial thoughts of seizing the initiative were forgotten. Now he would be thankful if he could finish this call safely!

After this, he probably couldn’t bear to hear Lu Ming’s name in the short term. If not for the fact that the circumstances didn’t allow it, he would have gone home to rest. He felt that he had used up all his brain cells chatting with smart people.

Am I having a nightmare?!

“I say, can you explain why Xingwei Preventive Medicine passed the review so quickly? Is the test report they posted true? I want to see your record report because this is very strange. Someone told me that Xingwei never made real medicine. Chief Chen, aren’t you going to explain?”

Never made real medicine?!

This was the first time Chief Chen had heard of this matter. He believed that with Lu Ming Corporation’s information channels, there would basically be no mistakes. Then who could tell him why the higher-ups were giving him the green light?

What is going on? he thought.

It can’t be that Xingwei has some kind of nepotism with the old leader, right? No, no, no, if it’s just this kind of relationship, how could things develop to this extent? Could it be that Xingwei’s boss had saved the old leader? Then the probability would be greatly increased! Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, there was a knock on the door.

“Chief, I have something to report.”

Chen Jianxin heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. He quickly said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. I have something urgent to deal with. If you have any other questions, you can look for Chief Zhao. I won’t have time to answer phone calls. I hope you can understand.”

With that, he quickly hung up.

In other words, he wanted Lu Ming to harass others. It didn’t matter if it was Chief Zhao or Chief Liu, as long as Lu Ming didn’t look for him!

Lu Ming understood what Chen Jianxin was thinking. He raised his eyebrows slightly and put on a calm expression. Does he think that he can do nothing about it?
