Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Jungle Pharmaceutical Ceases Cooperation Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Jungle Pharmaceutical Ceases Cooperation After returning to the hospital, Lin Chuyi closed the door of her office and began making phone calls.
“Ivy, help me retrieve the surveillance videos of Qi Hospital, from 1:30 a.m. to 3 a.m. on the 17th. I need all the footage where I can be seen.”
“Sure thing, Director Lin.”
“Cindy, check where Wen Nianyou went and what she did on the 17th. I need her detailed itinerary.”
“Yes, Director Lin.”
“Su Shan, stop supplying Qi Hospital with pharmaceuticals—our company will no longer cooperate with them.”
“Yes, Director Lin, I’ll stop it right away.”
“And buy me a used car, one that’s not too old or too new.”
“Director Lin, still a Volkswagen?”
“Mm-hmm.”
…
Qi Hospital.
The usually carefree Qi Yunfan was somewhat restless, “Mom, Jungle Pharmaceutical abruptly stopped supplying us, saying they’ll no longer cooperate with our hospital. We’ve only been using their drug for a month, and the patients were saying it’s very effective. Now, without the drug, patients are going to other hospitals!”
Hen Peizhu was surprised, “Why would they suddenly stop the cooperation?”
“I have no idea!”
“I told you before to maintain good relations with these companies, but you wouldn’t listen; all you knew was to revolve around Lin Chuyi. Besides her pretty face, what use is she? A complete waste, she can’t help you with anything!”
“Stop saying that, haven’t I already broken up with her? The urgent matter now is to get the medication. Some of the patients are my classmates—if we can’t supply the medicine, I will lose big time face!”
Hen Peizhu was somewhat puzzled, “Previously, we didn’t seem to be cooperating with Jungle Pharmaceutical. Their company has very strict drug supply policies, and the quotas are hard to get. Who contacted them?”
After thinking for a moment, Qi Yunfan said uncertainly, “Could it have been Lin Chuyi? I remember she asked me for our hospital’s detailed information, saying she would submit it to Jungle Pharmaceutical.”
“Impossible!”
Hen Peizhu immediately rejected his idea, “Jungle Pharmaceutical has developed several antitumor drugs in recent years and is growing rapidly, becoming a powerhouse in the pharmaceutical industry! Their drugs are significantly effective and sought after by many; as soon as they produce them, all the big hospitals scramble to get them—not to mention someone like Lin Chuyi!”
“Don’t give her any credit, what is she compared to us? How could she possibly secure a cooperation opportunity with Jungle Pharmaceutical! It must be that our hospital’s reputation is growing, which is why Jungle sought to cooperate with us.”
Qi Yunfan also thought it was unlikely, but coincidentally, right after Lin Chuyi started working at their family hospital, Jungle Pharmaceutical initiated cooperation with Qi Hospital, and right after she left, Jungle ceased their cooperation.
It should… just be a coincidence, right?
Hen Peizhu stood up, “Come on, let’s visit Jungle Pharmaceutical. With the strength of our hospital, signing a five-year cooperation agreement with them shouldn’t be a problem.”
Qi Yunfan looked at her skeptically, “Will that work?”
Hen Peizhu was upset by her son’s doubt, “Of course, it will work. When have I ever failed in negotiating a cooperation? Why do you think your father married me back then? Learn something; when choosing a wife, go for someone with family status and capability, not some empty vase—especially not one with a murder case hanging over her family.”
Qi Yunfan said nothing.
None of those with family backgrounds were as beautiful as Lin Chuyi. Just thinking of her face made his heart flutter, and all other women seemed insipid and tasteless in comparison.
Thirty minutes later, at Jungle Pharmaceutical’s research building.
The receptionist politely asked, “Do you have an appointment?”
Hen Peizhu, dissatisfied, said, “Our Qi Hospital is a major institution and has long had cooperation with your company. We’re here to sign a contract; just let us through.”
The receptionist instantly understood, “You can’t enter without an appointment.”
Hen Peizhu took out a business card and slapped it on the receptionist, “Open your damn eyes and see clearly. I am the wife of the director of Qi Hospital, how dare you stop me?”
“Qi Hospital? Never heard of it. You can’t enter without an appointment.”
“You! You ignorant thing, get your boss over here! I want to file a complaint against you!”
Qi Yunfan quickly pulled his mother aside and spoke with the softest voice, “Miss, our hospital truly has cooperation with your company, and we’re here to discuss deepening our partnership with your boss. Please let us in.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
“This… for a big hospital like Qi’s, we shouldn’t need an appointment, right?”
“You can’t enter without an appointment!”
