Chapter 178: Making Trouble

However, Charles frowned. “I’m not going!”

There were many people that wished to meet him. However, as a major character in the medical industry, Charles was not someone anybody could meet.

He had come to China for so long and had been staying in the industrial park to research new medicine. However, he hadn’t even met Chu Cichen.

He was waiting for Divine Doctor Jing’s invitation!

At this moment, Fang Panxia felt somewhat disappointed, but in the blink of an eye, she noticed her fellow students in the lab. One of them was from China and his name was Li Dongzhe. He was also someone studying for a Ph.D. under the mentorship of Charles.

Li Dongzhe was an upright man with clear defects in his character. He was blunt and would offend people easily. He even liked to be on the moral high ground to criticize people.

At this moment, he was clutching his phone with anger. Evidently, he was sending a message.

Fang Panxia’s lips curled. She knew that Charles’s evaluation of Shen Ruojing would soon spread out…

She took her phone out and opened the scientific research chat group. As expected, everyone here was discussing this.

Li Dongzhe: [Teacher dislikes the Chu Corporation’s style of doing things. With us and teacher here, we basically don’t have to use such low-level methods to enter the pharmaceutical market. Once our research is done and the new medicine is out, we will surely attract the commotion of the medical world in the country. So, why must the Chu Corporation do this?]

Li Dongzhe: [In this country, the scientific research environment is different from overseas. We should be determined to stop the Chu Corporation from using business techniques to meddle in the pharmaceutical industry!]

Li Dongzhe: [We have so many people, so why should we use all our energy on the heat dispersal pills? We would merely waste our time creating a bunch of useless pills. If we had so much time, why didn’t we do more research on some hard-to-cure diseases?]

Messages of agreement could be seen below.

After the receptionist Xiao Zhao was babbling in the chat, Fang Panxia privately sent a message to her. [Xiao Zhao, I have to go to the reception area for a while. Can you please help to welcome the VIP first?]

–

Lu Cheng and Shen Ruojing, who were waiting in the reception area, didn’t know about these. Shen Ruojing stood at the window and was staring at the R&D base in the distance.

She narrowed her eyes and recalled the bragging words she had once spoken six years ago. She had said that she wanted to build a medical base in China and get the most influential people in the world to do research there, so they could focus on tackling all the diseases and sicknesses in the world and solving the problems related to health for humanity.

Sadly, after she faked her death, her wish was never actualized.

However, in this industrial park of Chu Cichen, there were some vague hints of the base she wanted to build.

She lowered her eyelids and felt that it was actually pretty good if she could retire here…

As she pondered, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Shen Ruojing turned and saw a girl around 25 to 26 years old bringing two cups of coffee over with a dark expression.

“Bang!”

Xiao Zhao placed the cups heavily on the table. Her tone was stiff as she said, “Please drink.”

Lu Cheng. “?”

He frowned. “What’s going on with you? Do you know how to be a receptionist? Do you know manners?”

Xiao Zhao coldly laughed. “Sorry, my personality is simply like that. Why? If you are not happy, you can make a complaint about me!”

Lu Cheng grew angry. “Do you know who I am?”

Although Fang Panxia was in charge of the factory, she was only responsible for the technology. The funds’ injection was managed by Lu Cheng!

However, Xiao Zhao didn’t look at him. Rather, her eyes were on Shen Ruojing as she cursed in anger, “I naturally know. Isn’t this the person who spread a lie about a transmissible disease for the sake of making the Chu Corporation famous? Where’s the transmissible disease? From the death of that person until now, quite some time has passed. Why isn’t there any outbreak yet? When you guys used such methods to gain the public’s attention, did you ever spare a thought for us?

“Although we are employees, we have a professional bottom line. I look down on you all. Pui! You all are jokes!”

Xiao Zhao sneered and directly walked out. “You want to fire me? You can do so. Do you think I care about coming to work? At most, I can simply find another place to work. I would rather work for free than be a lackey for a capitalist company like this!”

After Xiao Zhao finished scolding, she opened the door and was about to walk out, but Fang Panxia and Li Dongzhe arrived at this moment. After hearing Xiao Zhao’s last sentence, Li Dongzhe immediately grew enraged. “What? Does Director Lu want to fire Xiao Zhao? If that’s the case, you might as well fire me and my teacher!”

Li Dongzhe didn’t know why his mentor wanted to come here to work, but he knew that Charles would surely be supportive of his decision.

Lu Cheng looked at Li Dongzhe and his expression changed.

He naturally knew who Li Dongzhe and Charles were. This bunch of people were the most important researchers in the industrial park. Why didn’t Fang Panxia receive any punishment after screwing up the business with Dugu Xiao and could still be in charge of the pharmaceutical factory? The reason was because she had invited these experts over!

This group of people was her confidence.

Lu Cheng immediately smiled. “Researcher Li, it’s all a misunderstanding. Nobody said that she would be fired. This little lady doesn’t know her manners. I only said a few sentences about her and she started to lose her temper…Fine then, Xiao Zhao, you can go out first!”

Xiao Zhao coldly sneered.

Li Dongzhe added, “There’s no need to go out. It just so happens that there are some matters I wish to speak with you guys about. I feel that we can stop the manufacturing of the heat dispersal pills now. In addition, I request the Chu Corporation to make an apology for the rumors floating outside.”

Lu Cheng glanced at Shen Ruojing and frowned. “Researcher Li, you guys should just be responsible for research. It isn’t your place to comment about the Chu Corporation’s business strategy.”

Li Dongzhe coldly laughed. “Correct, it isn’t our place to comment. But your business methods have trampled on our bottom line. We will absolutely not compromise!”

The door was open and the nearby researchers had arrived outside. At this moment, after they heard Li Dongzhe’s words, they immediately jumped out in support.

“That’s right, we are medical researchers and not businessmen!”

“We condemn your actions!”

“Apologize! Apologize to the public!”

“…”

Lu Cheng frowned and spoke impolitely to them, “All of you should disperse. You guys have nothing to do here. Do you really think I don’t dare to do anything to the researchers? Do you think I can’t fire all of you right away?”

The people outside immediately stopped talking.

The compensation package that the Chu Corporation offered was very good. No one wished to be fired.

After that, Fang Panxia spoke out, “Lu Cheng, the law excuses the masses. You can’t fire them…”

When she said this, the people outside regained their courage. “That’s right, the law excuses the masses!”

They immediately became confident and shouted again.

“The Chu Corporation must express an apology to the public!”

“And vow not to produce the heat dispersal pills ever again!”

“Return the purity of our research laboratory. We will not collude with you people!”

“…”

As their shouts rang out, more and more people gathered here.

Lu Cheng’s expression was tense, and he looked at Li Dongzhe. He knew that as long as he convinced this person, everyone out there would disperse. He then sighed and spoke, “Researcher Li, bring them back first and I’ll give you an explanation later. Is it okay?”

Li Dongzhe stubbornly said, “No. Give us an explanation today. I believe that even if my mentor was here, he would do the same thing!”

Just when Lu Cheng wanted to say something, he heard Shen Ruojing calmly saying, “Get Charles to come over then.”
