Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 736

However, Philip did not care about Fade at all. He directly gestured at his secretary to take out a few contracts from the briefcase and put them onto the table. He said, "These are the copyright transfer agreements which we have drawn up. Please sign it."

As he was speaking, Philip directly put a thick stack of agreements in front of Fade.

Seeing this, Fade couldn't help frowning and was about to say something.

However, Rudolph quickly gave him a small tug under the table and whispered in a low tone, "Let's go through them first."

Fade was forced to refrain from speaking. He flipped open the agreements that were handed over by Philip.

But before Fade could finish reading, Philip, who was sitting on the opposite side, frowned impatiently. He pointed toward the direction of the table and said, "No need to read. These agreements were drafted by our professional team. What problems could there be?"

"Sign it!" Philip waved his hand and gestured towards his secretary to pass a pen to Fade.

Nevertheless, Fade did not take the pen. Instead, he straightened up and looked at Philip coldly, "Now that Captain Lu is asking me to sign an agreement, I wonder how much the signing fees will be?" Hearing this, Philip's brows wrinkled at once. He looked at Fade darkly and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean? What signing fee?"

Fade sneered and said, "You are asking about signing fees? Director Lu, you are also in the pharmaceutical business. Don't you know about patent costs?"

"Of course I know about the patent cost!" Philip said, "Do you mean that we need to pay for the patent cost?"

"Of course. I developed the Ephedra Syrup, and your company is using it right now. Of course, you need to pay for it." Fade said.

Hearing this, Philip's face turned gloomy and he said in a cold voice, "Mr. Chen, please be clear about this. This is a direct order from the Ministry of Health, and many high-ranked government officers are paying close attention to this situation. This patent is for the people and the nation."

"For such a big and noble cause, do you really need to care about petty gains?" Using his knuckles, Philip rapped on the table to emphasize his point.

"Petty gains?" Fade sneered, "Do you know how much the patent fees are worth for my Ephedra Syrup? You simply call it a small gain, and you take my generosity for granted. It's so easy for you, Captain Lu."

A hint of fury flashed across Philip's face. He said directly to Rudolph, "Chief Zheng, so this is the attitude of your staff in Dragonville City, with no social awareness at all. How dare you recommend such a person to your superiors, claiming that he is a savior of the nation and the people."

Rudolph was speechless.

However, Fade was totally provoked. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up directly to confront Philip.

"Stop it with all your lies. Do you think that I don't know what you are up to?" Fade rebuked sternly.

Philip replied, "You are a self-centered b*stard who doesn't care for the people and the nation at all. What else do you want to say?"

"Ha ha!" Fade sneered and said, "If I'm considered selfish, then what do you say about your transfer agreements?"

"I've already offered free copyright licensing. Why do you have to ask for the transfer agreements?" Fade demanded.

Philip's face changed slightly and he said in a low voice, Tve already told you that this pharmaceutical formula directly concerns the welfare of the public, so you can't keep the patent in your own hands. It must be owned by the government to ensure its safety and reliance."

"It would indeed be reliable for the patent right to be owned by the government. If it was really being transferred to the country, I would have no problems signing it." Fade sneered.

Then, he picked up the thick stack of papers and threw them directly at Philip's face. He bellowed, "But here it clearly states that the ownership is being transferred to Bulrush Pharma. How do you explain this, Philip Lu?"

"Do you think that you and your Bulrush Pharma represent the nation and the people?" Fade raised his eyebrows and glared at Philip.

What provoked Fade the most was not about signing the copyright transfer without getting a single cent. Philip was clearly plotting to snatch the Ephedra Syrup patent right into the possession of his Bulrush Pharma.

Subsequently, he could then present the Ephedra Syrup concoction formula to the government, claiming it as a research product of his Bulrush Pharma, and reaping all the fame and profit. It was indeed a well- planned scheme.

Even Rudolph, who had been persuading Fade to hold back his temper, turned sullen. He looked at Philip differently now, a stark contrast to his previously appeasing manner.

In the face of Fade's question, Philip felt a twinge of panic. But then, he quickly regained his composure and said, "Nonsense, you are thinking too much."

"I, Philip Lu, am an honorary member of the National Health Association. Bulrush Pharma is also an official partner of the National Health Association. When the patent is transferred to us, it is same as being transferred to the corresponding department in the Ministry of Health," Philip said.

Fade chuckled and said, "Do you really believe this kind of made-up story? Or do you take us for fools?"

As he spoke, Fade got up and turned around to leave the meeting room.

Seeing this, Philip's expression immediately changed, "You're leaving? You better think twice. I am the captain of the investigation team, sent here by the government to deal with the urgent issue regarding the Alstom Antibiotic."

"We received a report from Dragonville, claiming that a substitute drug had been developed, but now you can't show us the product. This is considered as deceit, trying to fool the top management. Can you face the consequences?"

Fade's lips curled up in a sneer, "Go on, you shameless, power-abusing sc*mbag! Do you think I'll be afraid of you?"

With that, Fade strode toward the door.

Philip's face was filled with anger. He knew he couldn't persuade Fade, so he turned to Rudolph instead, "Director Zheng, the substitute drug was first developed in Dragonville City. It was supposed to be a great honor for the health department of Dragonville City, but now it is going to turn into a big shame. Are you really making a wise decision?"

Naturally, the words evoked some doubts within Rudolph, but after all, he couldn't be so shameless as to rob someone of their copyright without offering any compensation. So, he only remained neutral and said, "The Ephedra Syrup patent belongs to Mr. Chen. We can't force him."

After that, Rudolph also walked out of the meeting room.

Philip's face had never been more thunderous.

In his raging fury, Philip slammed the table forcefully. He cursed through gritted teeth, "A group of idiots with no rules, no discipline, and no sense of team honor! The nation and the people have supported you in vain..."
