"What? What's this news?"
"Um... it's just a simple, ordinary pharmaceutical company lawsuit, right."
"Are you insulting my intelligence? Do you know or not know the significant impact this news will have?!"
"But, Saint Master, it's already out, so we..."
"Idiot! Idiot!"
The Saint Master in San Francisco seemed hysterical; he directly stopped preaching, all because of the news that Purdue Company was entangled in a lawsuit crisis.
Actually, any company might have lawsuits; this is very common in the United States.
Especially pharmaceutical companies.
Pharmaceutical companies are indeed hotbeds for legal disputes, after all, almost every drug typically has side effects.
Anyone who casually glances back at history, especially medical and pharmaceutical history, would definitely be shocked.
Incidents of people dying from medication are indeed too many.
So being sued is just an ordinary thing for pharmaceutical companies.
But this time is different!
Anyone who sees this lawsuit will clearly understand.
This time, Purdue Pharmaceutical is in big trouble!
Oxycodone itself is an opioid painkiller, this type of drug is inherently sensitive.
Moreover, Purdue Company had previously done a lot of advertising in the media.
The core content of those ads was essentially promoting Oxycodone to children in the United States.
Getting children to take Oxycodone!
Purdue Company's heart was just too kind.
Anyway, this is what they did, and whether it was the FDA or many medical experts, or even frontline doctors.
They all endorsed this drug.
It was deemed safe.
Children, hurry up and take it!
Moms, you can't just watch your children suffer, right?
Dads, this medicine is very cheap, 5 US Dollars a pill, and it's not easy for you to earn money, right?
In short, that was the situation before.
And now, it's blown up!
Exceeding the limits of political donations, actually, many companies do this.
Who can't give a little more?
Which big corporation or family doesn't have reserves?
Besides, this Purdue Pharmaceutical is owned by the Sackler Family, they are prominent philanthropists, associated with many schools and top government officials.
They have dealt in a lot of artwork, many museums and whatnot.
They're rich, definitely rich.
So, this political donation matter, is just currently quite sensitive.
However!
Upon closer investigation...
It turns out Oxycodone caused so many children's deaths!
The current data is still incomplete, but the former manager of Purdue Pharmaceutical who sued Purdue.
Mr. Fulton has already issued a call to all of America.
That is, parents of all deceased children in the United States, check thoroughly if your child took Oxycodone before they died!
This call is explosive!
Not to mention whether these parents can act as witnesses, or even if they find something, whether it can be used as evidence.
Just the incident itself.
Really has forced Purdue Pharmaceutical into a corner!
These are children, children who haven't grown up!
And currently, Fulton has only just started calling out.
But even so, Fulton has already presented nearly 10,000 cases of child deaths!
This detail immediately triggered a nationwide debate in America.
How can this be?
How could Purdue Pharmaceutical promote such a drug to children?
Even though there were a lot of ads, not many Americans actually knew about the drug's situation.
Now looking at it... it's shocking!
And consequently, it directly affected the Democratic Party.
The latest news is that the Democratic Party has already first responded with a wave of denials.
Bluntly saying that the ones receiving donations were just a few members, not the entire Democratic Party, nor Mr. Kerry.
This statement sounds good, but is it effective?
It is almost certain that this news will definitely influence the current election!
The key is also that the timing of the revelation was too coincidental!
Needless to say, it's definitely related to the Republican Party.
After all, casting smears on opponents is the most effective tactic in elections.
So, what happens next?
Or rather, in Zhao Ying's opinion, she's a bit unsure about our Saint Master's situation.
Because it's very strange.
Isn't it just a scandal of a pharmaceutical company?
It will indeed affect the Democratic Party, but should it make you, Saint Master, so anxious?
The Democratic side will surely have countermeasures, right?
Zhao Ying's confusion was almost written on her face.
And the Saint Master's reaction here was even more furious!
"Fool! This time I will take the stage!"
Take the stage?
What is this situation?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying understood immediately.
Indeed, this matter was really tricky!
...
On November 1st, technically speaking, the election had already begun.
Except it hadn't formally started the voting process yet.
But the entire campaign had reached its final stage.
Almost all means had been exhausted, just waiting for the final results.
No one expected that the Purdue Pharmaceutical issue would arise.
The person behind orchestrating this, was now leisurely watching TV in his office.
What was he watching?
"Hey! Dr. Zhou, you're really at ease, watching this kind of program."
Dr. Uchida walked in, not even bothering to knock.
Of course, Zhou Mo Sen hadn't closed the door either.
Leaving the door open made him seem very open.
Meaning: There are no women in my office.
This guy is really something.
Thus, Uchida came in, and what she saw... Zhou Mo Sen was watching TV intently.
But the TV show was quite peculiar.
It was a Republican election rally, and the atmosphere was more like a large competition.
It seemed as though they were setting out on an expedition, flags fluttering everywhere, and scores of voters cheering.
But here we are in California, why is Zhou Mo Sen watching the Republicans?
Shouldn't he be watching the Democratic Party?
Besides, hadn't he donated to Kerry before?
Facing Uchida, Zhou Mo Sen just smiled, patting the sofa beside him, signaling her to sit over.
Normally, Uchida wouldn't do this, but this time... hmph! Sit then sit.
Today Dr. Uchida wore black stockings, and the rest was just a white coat.
It did make her look a bit sultry.
Zhou Mo Sen wasn't in a hurry to speak, he continued watching the program.
"Why are you watching this?"
The question seemed a bit urgent.
Zhou Mo Sen simply replied, "You'll know in a moment."
And what could they wait for?
Suddenly, the scene on the TV changed.
Originally, it was images of Xiaobu and many voters, but one more person appeared.
This guy wasn't tall, looked like an average old white guy, critically dressed in a custom-made suit.
He seemed pretty much like an ordinary person, yet different.
Because as soon as he spoke, it was alarming.
"Ah!" He shouted and then, facing everyone, he extended his hand, closing his eyes at the same time, the hand suddenly pointing at Xiaobu.
"Now, I deliver God's message! You, Xiaobu, will become the President of the United States of America!"
This...
The election is coming up, now they are engaging in superstition?!
