Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 737

The meeting with the investigation team ended up in a fiasco.

As soon as Philip left the Sincere Medicine Center Pharmacy, he immediately phoned his superior to report the situation. "Department Head Wang, I am Philip. I am in Dragonville City now. The situation here isn't so good."

"What's going on?" A deep voice came from the other end of the line.

"I just did my first inspection. As a result, the developer of the drug was already asking for a patent fee from us before we could even test the drug. It seemed that he wouldn't transfer the patent to us if we refuse to pay."

Department Head Wang said, "How much does he want?"

"He didn't mention the exact amount, but surely he is going to take this chance to extort a big sum," Philip added, "Besides, the developer of this substitute drug is a Chinese medicine doctor in his twenties. He is very young."

"For such a young doctor to be announcing that he has developed a drug that can replace Alstom antibiotics. I feel somewhat skeptical about the effect of the drug itself. I suggest that the relevant departments should look into the matter and reconfirm the effects of the drug through a series of rigorous scientific procedures."

Department Head Wang went silent for a while and said, "I will send someone to follow up. You'd better continue to work hard on the investigation and provide some detailed information to us as soon as possible."

"Yes, Department Head Wang," Philip answered in a serious tone.

After hanging up the phone, Philip revealed an evil smile and whispered to himself, "You are still too young and too naive to fight with me in the medical industry. I can simply squash you to death with one finger."

Within minutes, Philip made a few more calls, which made his smirk even wider. He said maliciously, "Since you aren't going to give me the patent right for Ephedra Syrup, you better say goodbye to your reputation."

Meanwhile, Department Head Wang did not put away his phone immediately after his conversation with Philip. Instead, he dialed another number. "Elder Chai, I have to trouble you again. Yes, it's in Dragonville. Well, alright, I'll wait for your news."

The phone call ended shortly.

Meanwhile, in the Sincere Medical Center Pharmacy in Dragonville City, Fade and Rudolph sank into their chairs with gloomy expressions after Philip's departure.

"Fade, regarding this matter, I-" Rudolph was about to say something to Fade.

But at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. As soon as he picked it up, there was an angry assault from the other side. "Rudolph, what the h*ll are you doing? I asked you to take care of the investigation team from Capital City, but this is how you treated them? You messed up everything..."

Rudolph wanted to explain, but after the onslaught came the directive, "Solve this problem as soon as possible," and then the call was ended.

With a helpless look, Rudolph forced a bitter smile and was about to put away his mobile phone.

But before the phone was back in his pocket, it started to ring again.

Rudolph's face turned pale when he saw the number, but there was no way that he could run away from it. "Rudolph Zheng, look what a 'great job' you have done, I really..."

As expected, it was from his superiors again, dishing out more scolding and criticism.

Rudolph went on to receive more than a dozen phone calls. Some were more scolding and criticisms from his superiors, some were advice from his colleagues, and some were blatantly telling him to sort it out as soon as possible, or else things would get even tougher.

Fade, who was with him all the while, could not help but look at Rudolph apologetically. He said, "Director Zheng, I'm sorry that I got you in trouble."

Rudolph shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. You're kind and loyal to the nation and the people. But there are always people trying to take advantage of others for personal gain. They are really crossing the line."

"I'll call someone to report the situation. I don't believe that Philip can simply do whatever he likes." Rudolph said indignantly and then began to make a phone call.

However, after he had made several phone calls in a row, his face became gloomier and gloomier.

He realized that as soon as he mentioned Philip's investigation team, the person he was talking to would immediately try to sweep the matter under the carpet. Some feigned cluelessness; some gave excuses and said that they had something else to do; some said that they could do nothing to help; and some even tried to persuade him to apologize to Philip instead.

The responses he received sent a chilling disappointment down to the bottom of his heart, leaving him in a daze.

Seeing this, Fade quickly comforted him, "Director Zheng, don't be disheartened. We can go to Capital City and explain the situation directly to Department Head Wang."

Rudolph nodded and said, "I'll find another way to deal with it."

With that, Rudolph waved goodbye and left.

After sending Rudolph off, Fade returned to the medical centre with a gloomy face.

The shop assistants gathered around him. Although they didn't know the details, they had heard the rough outline of the story. All at once, they were filled with indignation on Fade's behalf. At the same time, they all hated Philip so much that they really wished to chop him to death.

After all, Fade and his team had put in so much effort to come up with the substitute drug. Plus, at this critical juncture when everyone was worried about the shortage of antibiotics in the country, Philip and his team were not thinking about solving the problem and save people's lives, but rather, they intended to make use of the situation seek personal profit instead. It was despicable of him to abuse his power in this way.

Fade said a few words to calm them down, and then he immediately returned to his work.

Now, he must get ready for the tough situation ahead. If he really failed the inspection of Philip Lu's investigation team, he would have to increase the production scale of the Ephedra Syrup as soon as possible in order to meet the increasing demand and overcome the shortage of Alstom Antibiotics.

He was totally engrossed in his work. Soon, it was the next day, and time for the arranged inspection. However, there was still no sign of the investigation team.

Obviously, Philip thought that he would triumph over Fade, so he was waiting complacently for Fade to take the initiative and hand over the patent with a sincere apology.

As for Fade, when he saw no sign of the investigation team, he returned to his daily routine.

At eight o'clock in the morning, there was a huge crowd at the entrance of the medical centre, for it was closed the previous day due to the visit of Philip Lu's investigation team. So, many patients were forced to delay their visit, and thus, there was an exceptionally long queue today.

Amidst the bustling crowd, an old man in his seventies slowly approached. His long white beard fluttered in the wind.

The old man came over and asked in curiosity, "The business of this clinic is so good. Many people had been coming here since early in the morning. Is the treatment very effective?"

As soon as he spoke, someone next to him immediately said, "Old Master, you are not a local citizen, are you?"

"Well, I'm from another place. How do you know this? Is it because of my accent?" The old man asked.

The others laughed and said, "No, it's not. The local citizens of Dragonville City wouldn't have asked those questions you asked just now."

"Why?" The old man asked in confusion.

Someone answered him, "Why? Because almost everyone in Dragonville City knows that Dr. Chen of the Sincere Medicine Center has excellent medical skills. Since you don't know about Dr. Chen, you must be an outsider!" "I see!" The old man's eyes lit up with curiosity.
