Hearing this, Lin Wanru immediately understood.
All of this was definitely his doing!
On the other side, Lin Guanghach was still solemnly swearing: "Uncle Zhao, if you don't believe me, just have someone come and ask."
Uncle Zhao heard this and immediately sent his subordinates to summon someone.
Soon, a mid-level manager walked into the meeting room.
Looking at the important figures sitting there, this person was very nervous.
Uncle Zhao asked: "I ask you, your company spent three years researching a new drug, have you achieved any results?"
Just as this person was about to answer, Lin Guanghach spoke again.
"You must answer truthfully. If you dare to conceal even a little..."
"You'll be going to the police station!"
The man was startled and hastily explained, "This has nothing to do with me!"
"I was just doing my job step by step; the failure of that drug research and development wasn't my fault!"
As soon as he said this, the entire room fell silent.
"What did you say? The new drug research and development failed?"
Uncle Zhao's face immediately darkened.
The man nodded somewhat bewilderedly: "Yes... yes... Ah!"
"But this is mainly because..."
Before he could finish, Lin Guanghe interrupted him.
"Okay, you can leave."
After saying that, the man was escorted out by Lin Guanghe's subordinates.
Lin Guanghe then turned to Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, I'm not wrong, am I?"
"Just as I said! Lin Wanru's leadership ability is insufficient, the research and development of the Zhixin medicine failed, and the company suffered significant losses!"
"And not only did she show no remorse, but she also tried to deceive her way through!"
"Does this kind of person deserve to continue as the general manager of Minghai Pharmaceutical Company?"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire room froze.
Uncle Zhao's gaze towards Lin Wanru also changed.
From initial joy, it turned into anger and incomprehension.
"Wanru, what exactly happened? Explain it clearly to me."
At this moment, Lin Wanru was under immense pressure.
However, in the end, she still managed to endure it.
"Uncle Zhao, the failure of this new medicine research is true, but we have already found a replacement formula."
"As long as we can successfully develop it, we'll definitely gradually make a profit!"
"Gradually make a profit? Nonsense!" Lin Guanghach said disdainfully.
"With 2 billion yuan in funding and 3 years of research and development, we couldn't successfully develop it. Now you're saying you've found a replacement formula? What a coincidence!"
Uncle Zhao had to admit this.
The timing of Lin Wanru's discovery of the new formula was too coincidental.
He had never heard of it before, so how did a new formula suddenly appear during his inspection?
He thought for a moment: "Wanru, could you let us see the new formula?"
"This..." Lin Wanru hesitated.
"What? You can't possibly not even produce a new formula, can you?" Lin Guanghach said mockingly.
Uncle Zhao continued, "If you're worried about the formula being leaked, you can have everyone else leave, keeping only the people within our Lin family."
At this point, it wasn't Lin Wanru's fault.
She finally had to agree.
After the others left, she took out the handwritten prescription.
Lin Guanghach examined it and almost burst out laughing.
Ah, a handwritten prescription, you're trying to fool a ghost!
Uncle Zhao also frowned.
"Wanru, is this the prescription you said could replace the original one?"
"You weren't tricked, were you?"
Questioned by Uncle Zhao, Lin Wanru immediately felt a little disheartened.
Was she really... tricked?
At the same time, the head of the research department hurriedly went to the CEO's office.
His face was beaming with unconcealed joy.
In his hand, he held a thick stack of documents.
These were the reports related to the experimental treatment of that excellent piece of soil...
Seeing Lin Wanru speechless, Lin Guanghach sneered,
"The CEO of a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical company, yet you're being deceived by some folk remedy?"
"You don't mind losing face, but I do!"
Hearing this, Lin Wanru's anger flared up.
If it weren't for Lin Guanghach's trickery, she wouldn't have fallen into this predicament.
She coldly snorted, "I've already had someone conduct the experiment."
"Whether you're deceived or not, just wait and see!"
"Oh, you're still talking big, aren't you?" Lin Guanghach said smugly, "How about we make a bet?"
"If you're deceived, then Minghai Pharmaceutical won't let me take over."
"What if you lose?" Lin Wanru asked.
"Our Tiansheng Group's entire year of pharmaceutical business will be yours!"
"It's a deal!" However, that's just what she said.
Lin Wanru still felt very uncertain.
If that remedy proved useless, she would lose everything.
Time ticked by.
The research team remained silent.
Lin Wanru waited impatiently, while Lin Guanghach grew increasingly anxious.
"Uncle Zhao, we've waited so long and still haven't heard anything. Could it be that Lin Wanru is stalling?"
"I'm fine, but she clearly doesn't take you seriously."
Uncle Zhao glared at Lin Guanghach.
Lin Guanghach immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhao, I'm quick-witted, please forgive me."
However, he also knew that his goal had been achieved.
After a while, Uncle Zhao's patience seemed to run out, and he sighed.
"Ah, Wanru, you really shouldn't have done that."
Hearing this, Lin Wanru also felt a little regretful.
Could that old man really have deceived her?
Now that the matter has become so widely publicized, what should she do?
"Wanru, I'm sorry. I want to report this matter in detail to the patriarch." Uncle Zhao sighed again.
Lin Guanghach heard this and his heart swelled with joy.
Once this matter is reported, Lin Wanru can forget about ever turning things around!
Lin Wanru, however, felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit.
Could it be that the whole thing was truly beyond redemption?
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Hearing the name of the person who arrived, Lin Wanru said, "It's the head of the research department, he must be here to see me."
"Uncle Zhao, I'll go ask what it's about first."
Uncle Zhao nodded slightly.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the head of the research department beaming with joy.
"Ms. Lin! Good news! Great news!"
"The prescription you gave us, when made into pills, has passed the first clinical trial! And the effects are remarkable!"
"What did you say?!"
At this, Lin Wanru was completely stunned.
The first clinical trial... passed?!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Guanghe's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible!"
"Isn't that just a folk remedy?"
"You didn't arrange this to cover it up, did you?"
Upon hearing this, the person in charge couldn't help but frown: "Who are you?"
"You're not from our company, what are you doing here!"
"You!" Lin Guanghach was so angry he couldn't speak.
Uncle Zhao stopped the argument and then had the person in charge explain the situation.
After learning that Uncle Zhao was an important figure on inspection, the person in charge's attitude became respectful.
Originally, when he first received this prescription, he had some doubts.
After all, it looked exactly like a lump of earth.
Therefore, he didn't have high hopes for it.
Coincidentally, the cooperating hospital had several elderly heart patients who couldn't undergo heart surgery.
They had tried all the usual medications, but none were effective.
So he asked the doctor to contact the family to inquire if they could try this.
After the family agreed, they gave the patient a dose of the medicine.
Then, a miracle occurred.
The patient, who had originally suffered from the torment of heart disease, miraculously recovered!
According to estimates, even a single course of treatment could completely cure the disease!
At this point, the head of the research department became excited.
"A medicine that can completely cure heart disease—I can't even imagine how big the market space could be!"
"A rough estimate suggests the profit could be over ten billion!"
"This is truly a miracle drug!"
