After finishing their meal, there was not much time left until the end of their lunch break, so the two of them went straight back to the office. Although Mo Xiaoran was still a bit shy, at least she didn't seem nervous anymore.

At exactly one o'clock, Ji Songtao came out, clapped his hands, and solemnly announced some news.

"Everyone, the matter of the city broadcasting bureau coming to inspect our film company has been confirmed. They will arrive at around two in the afternoon. This is an important matter personally entrusted by the chairman, so everyone must be alert and ensure that no mistakes occur!"

After speaking, Ji Songtao emphasized it several times before returning to his minister's room.

Regarding this matter, Ji Songtao was not just delivering the chairman's instructions; he was indeed very serious about it. Although he thought it was uncertain whether they would even come to such an inconsequential department as Operation Management, he dared not take it lightly.

In fact, it wasn't just Ji Songtao; all the leaders of the film company were currently feeling anxious and walking on thin ice, because this was not just a phone call from Qin Ruojing to instruct them, but a very formal meeting.

When they learned that it was the director of the city broadcasting bureau himself coming to inspect, everyone was momentarily stunned. Moreover, from Qin Ruojing's tone, it wasn't hard to discern that this inspection was likely aimed at finding faults in the film company.

Meanwhile, compared to Ji Songtao's anxiety, Qin Ruojing's mood could be described as grave.

In the director's office of the city broadcasting bureau, Qin Ruojing sat upright and serious. Across the desk from her was a man nearing fifty, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, with impeccably combed hair, sharp eyes, and an extremely competent look.

This man was Hong Zude, the head of Lidu City's broadcasting bureau.

"Director Hong, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit our Tianjiao Film and Television for inspection and guidance. We hope you will provide valuable feedback."

Hong Zude nodded and said, "Chairman Qin, you're too kind. You're so young yet have become the chairman of the Tianjiao Group, and have developed the Tianjiao Group to its current size within a few years. I believe your film company under Tianjiao Group won't disappoint me either."

Although Hong Zude's words were tactful, Qin Ruojing dared not be complacent and responded with a poised smile, "Thank you, Director Hong, for trusting Tianjiao Film and Television. We hope you will continue to support our film company in its future development."

Hong Zude gave a noncommittal smile and stood up from his seat, evidently ready to depart.

Qin Ruojing quickly stood up as well, anxiously following in Hong Zude's footsteps, hoping that nothing would go wrong during the inspection.

If it were a director from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, Health Bureau, or any other bureau, Qin Ruojing would still take it seriously, but not to this extent. However, she couldn't afford to take any chances with the broadcasting bureau.

After all, there are only two film companies in Lidu City: her newly started Tianjiao Film and Television and Han Court Film and Television. Han Court has been operating for many years and shares a very close relationship with Hong Zude.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot coexist on the same mountain. It's obvious that as a competitor, Han Court Film and Television certainly wouldn't want to see Tianjiao grow and expand.

This means that Hong Zude, who has always strongly supported Han Court Film and Television, is most likely going to Tianjiao Film and Television to find fault!

Qin Ruojing, Hong Zude, and Hong Zude's secretary left the city broadcasting bureau and headed directly to the Tianjiao Film and Television company on the ninth floor of Tianjiao Group, where they were received by Tong Yaqi, the administrative director, and several department heads.

As they walked through the corridors of Tianjiao Film and Television, Qin Ruojing appeared calm on the surface, but her palms were already sweating. Every time Hong Zude abruptly opened the door to an office, her heart would skip a beat, fearing any department might make a blunder at this crucial moment.

Fortunately, after Hong Zude inspected several major departments, everything was orderly. She estimated that even if he wanted to deliberately find fault, it would be difficult for him to spot anything this time.

Finally, Hong Zude proposed leaving with a stern face. Qin Ruojing, Tong Yaqi, and several department heads all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as the group was heading towards the elevator to go downstairs, Hong Zude suddenly paused, frowned, and his breathing became a bit labored.

Noticing Hong Zude's strange expression, Qin Ruojing's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Director Hong, are you feeling unwell?"

Hong Zude didn't respond to Qin Ruojing. Instead, he turned his gaze to his secretary and urgently said, "Get my medication."

Hong Zude's secretary was Luo Heng, a scholarly-looking man nearing thirty with glasses. Upon receiving the order, he immediately opened his bag and reached inside.

He felt around but didn't find it, felt around again, still nothing. When Luo Heng lowered his head and searched his bag thoroughly both inside and out, still unable to find the medication, his face immediately turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Since leaving the house that morning, Luo Heng had felt that something wasn't quite right today. It wasn't until now that he finally realized what was wrong—it turned out that he had forgotten to bring Director Hong's medication!

As Hong Zude's secretary, Luo Heng certainly knew about Hong Zude's asthma condition, and it was usually his responsibility to carry the medication. However, when he bought the medicine yesterday and took it home, he forgot to pack the newly purchased medication into his bag because he was eager to watch a replay of a soccer match.

Unfortunately, even if he realized it now, it was already too late.

"Medicine, where's my medicine?" At this moment, Hong Zude's voice rang in Luo Heng's ear again.

Luo Heng turned his head with difficulty, swallowed hard, and struggled to utter a few words, "I... I... forgot to bring it."

"Wha... What!"

Looking at the rapidly breathing Hong Zude, who frowned tightly and questioned him, Luo Heng regretted so much that he wished he could slap himself several times.

This asthma can be a life-threatening disease!

If Hong Zude was really done for, then his political career would surely end as well!

Listening to the heavy breathing of Hong Zude beside him, Luo Heng's heart jumped into his throat, feeling like the world was turning dark. His legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Qin Ruojing was also anxious, turning her gaze to the pale-faced Luo Heng, she asked urgently, "Secretary Luo, what's wrong with Director Hong?"

Luo Heng snapped out of his regret, "Director Hong has asthma. Do you have any asthma medicine here? Any at all!"

Hearing this, Qin Ruojing felt a buzzing in her head, and her face turned pale.

The company was mostly young people in their twenties and thirties, all of whom were in great health. The company regularly scheduled medical check-ups, and if anyone had any problems, they would arrange it promptly. Getting cold medicine might be possible, but asthma medicine? That's a joke, right? Where in the company could they get it?

The most critical problem was that the nearest pharmacy was several blocks away. Driving there and back would take at least ten minutes, and as for calling an ambulance, the timing was just as tight. Seeing Hong Zude's condition, it was hard to believe he could hold out till then.

Qin Ruojing really hadn't anticipated this at all. Everything was going well, and just as Hong Zude was about to leave, this mishap occurred!

To say something unpleasant, as long as they got out of Tianjiao Group's doors, even if something really happened to Hong Zude, it would have nothing to do with her, Qin Ruojing. But right now, they hadn't left yet, and if anything happened to Hong Zude, she would have undeniable responsibility.

Not only Qin Ruojing, but Tong Yaqi and others beside her felt the same. Their mood was indescribably heavy.

It must be said, Qin Ruojing, worthy of being a chairman, although she was extremely anxious, feeling a buzzing in her head, she remained calmer than Hong Zude's secretary, Luo Heng, at this moment.

"Secretary Luo, quickly call an ambulance."

She quickly told Luo Heng, then turned back to Tong Yaqi and the others, immediately instructing, "Go to every office and ask if there's any asthma medicine, hurry!"

Finally, Qin Ruojing opened the door of an office nearby and pointed to a young, strong-looking male employee, "You, go to the nearest pharmacy and buy asthma medicine now."

Meeting Qin Ruojing's gaze, Tong Yaqi and the other department heads from the film company finally felt they had a backbone, quickly dispersing and opening one office door after another.

Hearing Qin Ruojing's voice, Luo Heng finally came to his senses a bit. Seeing her urgent gaze but relatively calm demeanor and having given the correct instructions promptly, he felt deeply ashamed, but he knew it was not the time for admiration. He hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed the emergency number.

Although, he knew that calling the emergency number at this time was essentially futile.

At the same time, inside the Operation Management Department office, Chu Ge sat in his seat, vaguely hearing some noisy commotion outside, seemingly mixed with Qin Ruojing's voice.

He was just about to go out and see when the office door was pushed open, and Tong Yaqi stood breathlessly at the door.

"Who has asthma medication?"

Aside from Chu Ge, everyone else was stunned by this inexplicable question, all eyes fixed on Tong Yaqi, but the room remained silent.

Though anxious, Tong Yaqi didn't have time to explain now, urgently repeating, "Asthma medication! Who has it?"

In the ensuing silence, Chu Ge stood up, meeting Tong Yaqi's gaze, and walked purposefully towards the door.
