Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 742

At eight the next morning, Fade had just opened the Sincere Medical Center for business. It was drizzling outside.

However, at the doorway, he saw Philip standing at the door with the members of his investigation team, waiting for him in the rain. As soon as he saw Fade open the door, Philip immediately greeted him with a cordial smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I..."

Fade's expression was indifferent. He looked coldly at Philip and said, "What are you doing here?"

Philip smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm here to talk about the Ephedra Syrup. You-"

"I have nothing to talk to you about the Ephedra Syrup!" Fade said coldly and waved his hand as a gesture to drive Philip away.

Seeing this, nervousness gripped Philip. He went knees down on the steps and pleaded to Fade, "Mr. Chen, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have made such a harsh offer before. I shouldn't abuse my own power. I was wrong. Please, give me another chance!"

Fade was slightly taken aback by the fact that

Philip had knelt down in public and even admitted his mistake. However, Fade was not one who can be easily deceived by his crocodile tears. He said icily, "Give you a chance? It's impossible. Your chance at redemption has long been massacred by yourself."

With this, Fade turned around and was about to enter the center.

Seeing this, Philip made a deep lunge forward. He kowtowed on the hard stone steps and pleaded, "Mr. Chen, I really know that I was wrong. Please, give me another chance. Even if you don't care about me, please spare a thought to all the patients across the nation!"

At the mention of the patients, Fade's heart moved slightly.

However, he remained cold, "I've already made it clear that you don't have another chance."

Hearing this, Philip's countenance paled and his body went Jell-O on the wet stairs.

At the moment, Elder Chai came out from the crowd of people behind them and cupped his hands as a greeting to Fade, "Dr. Chen."

Fade cast a look at Elder Chai, then to Philip. He immediately understood that Elder Chai had reported the whole matter to his superior which had resulted in Philip's apology to him. "Elder Chai," Fade greeted politely.

Elder Chai approached him and said, "Dr. Chen, Department Head Wang has already severely reprimanded Philip. He will certainly deal with him seriously when we return to the Capital City."

"However, we are facing a grave situation especially with the severe shortage of Alstom Antibiotics. Therefore, Department Head Wang asked me to replace him as the captain of the investigation team and to negotiate with you again, Dr. Chen. I hope you can give us another chance. This time, Dr. Chen, the terms and conditions of the agreement are subject to your discretion." Elder Chai displayed absolute respect towards Fade.

Fade's expression changed slightly. After a few seconds of contemplation, he nodded and said, "Since you have become the captain, I'm relieved to hear that. Let's go in and discuss this."

Elder Chai immediately cupped one hand in the other before his chest as a gesture of gratitude. Then, he walked into the medical center with Fade.

In the meeting room, the negotiations between the two sides went on quickly. In less than half an hour, the contract was signed.

At first, Elder Chai offered him a sum of money for

him to sign the license agreement.

However, Fade refused the money. He insisted on their initial negotiation, which was to authorize the Ministry of Health with the patent of the Ephedra Syrup for free.

Fade refused the money because he did not really care about his own fortune, let alone it was not a big sum of money to begin with. Since he had promised a free offer beforehand, there's no way for him to take back his words just for a mere sum of money.

On the other hand, Fade also put forward some additional conditions in addition to the free use of his patent.

Among them, there were some suggestions to implement some policies to support and to maintain the price of traditional Chinese medicine. Elder Chai, who himself was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, naturally agreed without any objections, when he saw that Fade was doing so for the sake of the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, his requests were rational and reasonable,

On top of that, Fade specifically added one more condition onto the contract, which was to grant permission to every qualified pharmaceutical company in the country to manufacture and use the Ephedra Syrup, except one, which was the

Bulrush Pharma owned by Philip.

Fade was determined not to give Philip Lu and his company any chance of being involved in the issue of the Ephedra Syrup anymore, for he was a money- hungry man even in times of national disaster. In this context, Elder Chai did not have any objections and agreed immediately.

So, after the contract had been signed, Elder Chai immediately sent the content of the agreement to Department Head Wang before he hurried back to the Capital City.

As for Philip, who left together with Elder Chai to return to the Capital City, looked completely downtrodden, which presented a stark contrast to his arrogant attitude when he first came.

With the departure of Elder Chai, the investigation was officially over. With the collaboration of the Ministry of Health in the promotion and production of the Ephedra Syrup, Fade's burden felt relieved as his burden had been alleviated.

Fade, who had been busy for months, could finally relax a little at this moment. He felt light all over his body as if he had lost a few pounds.

He peeked out of the medical center and saw that there were only a few patients out there. He gave some orders to his employees and tidied up his things before leaving.

Fade drove along the slip road that led to the building of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, humming a tune with a smile on his face. His mood was an extremely good one. "Let's take a look at the company, then ask my wife out for lunch at noon later. After all, I've been too busy in the past two months. I don't even go home most of the time, let alone go on a date with my wife." Fade said merrily in his mind. At the thought of this, Fade felt as if he was on cloud nine. He stepped on the gas pedal and the car accelerated.

When he drove past a newly launched shop in unnerving speed, a sudden thought flashed across his mind. With a nicely controlled emergency brake, followed by a spectacular drift, he parked his car accurately in front of the shop.

In the newly opened shop, the boss was busy cleaning the shop in the entrance. When he heard a sudden ear-screeching brake, he looked up just in time to see a black shadow flying toward the shop, he was thunder-stuck.

However, the car finally stopped precisely and steadily in the parking space at the door of the small shop. Fade came down from the car and walked toward the small shop, saying, "Boss, is your store open?" When the boss heard the voice, he regained his composure and hastily nodded. He came up and said, "The store is open. How can I help you, sir?"

"There are a variety of soft toys in our store, as well as cartoons and animation of local and foreign productions, and even fun learning kits. They are all authentic products!" The owner began an animated chatter of introducing the assortment of products in his shop.

Fade looked around in the store. Then, his eyes fell on a Doraemon soft toy. He smiled and said, "I want this, how much is it?"

Seeing this, the owner quickly took the toy with a smile and said, "Sir, you have good taste. This is a limited edition. There is less than 50 of it in the entire Dragonville City. It is absolutely worthy."

"Sir, are you buying it for your child at home? How old is your kid? Has she started school?" The boss engaged in a lively chat with Fade as he settled the bill.

When Fade heard the boss's words, he couldn't help thinking of his cold wife, who'd be unexpectedly adorable whenever she saw furry toys. He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I'm buying it for my child. She's a lovely little girl."
