"Dad, I told you not to act impulsively, didn’t I? Heavenly Medicine Group isn’t as weak as we imagined, they have the backing of the Qin Gang. The Qin Gang is growing rapidly; we can’t act recklessly."
Although Jing Pharmaceutical Group is powerful, it never engages in illegal activities. With people backing Heavenly Medicine Group, they can’t afford to be too impulsive.
Jing Xiang looked at his exceptional daughter, his frown easing, "So, what should we do now?"
"The recent incident was definitely orchestrated by Heavenly Medicine Group. They must have sensed you were trying to set them up with fake drugs, and that’s why they struck back. The only solution now is to catch the person making the counterfeit drugs. I’ve already sent someone to apprehend them." Jing Zhimei had just finished speaking when her phone rang. She answered the call, and whatever was said at the other end caused her face to darken.
"Zhiyue, what happened?"
Seeing his daughter’s troubled expression, Jing Xiang quickly asked.
"That person has fled. He must have been planning to escape for some time," Jing Zhimei said, clenching her phone tightly and looking up at Jing Xiang, "It seems we’ll need to find another scapegoat."
"Alright, I’ll start looking immediately."
Jing Zhimei nodded, her complexion still poor. Even if Jing Pharmaceutical Group’s reputation, which had always been stellar, was cleared after this incident, it would likely be impacted. With Heavenly Medicine Group’s aggressive move into the market and the competition against them, Jing Pharmaceutical Group would undoubtedly fare worse than now. The only thing left was to find out who exactly was in control of Heavenly Medicine Group. Was it the person she suspected? If it really was that individual, she would need to remain vigilant; that person is much more formidable than before. She would need a lot more power.
Mo Yunchen, Mo Yunchen, only Mo Yunchen could make her that much more powerful.
She had to become Mo Yunchen’s wife. Only then could she act without restraint.
At this thought, Jing Zhimei clenched her hands, a bitter taste rising in her heart. Right now, she found it difficult even to see Mo Yunchen once, let alone become his wife. Her only opportunity was at Elder Master Mo’s birthday banquet. She must succeed at that time, she must secure Mo Yunchen.
Later, Jing Pharmaceutical Group found a scapegoat, and the counterfeit drug turmoil finally subsided. Nevertheless, the decades-long reputation of Jing Pharmaceutical Group was somewhat tarnished as Qin Qin and Lu Xuezhen continued their unrestrained attacks on Jing Pharmaceutical Group, causing minor disturbances that infuriated Jing Xiang.
Jing Zhimei changed into her going-out attire. Jing Zhilei blocked her path, sneering, "Jing Zhimei, you and your father have damaged the reputation of Jing Pharmaceutical Group. It’s only right that you voluntarily hand it over to my father."
Jing Zhilei was somewhat infuriating. After such a significant incident, her grandmother still protected them relentlessly. Why?
Jing Zhimei looked at Jing Zhilei with an indifferent gaze, "Jing Zhilei, you’re truly foolish."
"Jing Zhimei, what did you say? You dare to insult me?" Jing Zhilei, upon hearing Jing Zhimei’s words, raised her hand in anger, ready to strike Jing Zhimei. But before she could swing, Jing Zhimei caught her wrist, flung it aside forcefully, and Jing Zhilei stumbled several steps backward, her body uncontrollably retreating.
"Do you not see the foolishness in your joy over the misfortune of Jing Pharmaceutical Group? The prosperity and decline of Jing Pharmaceutical Group and Jing’s Hospital are intertwined. Only an idiot would make a scene here."
Without another look at Jing Zhilei’s angry face, Jing Zhimei grabbed her bag and walked out. She had made plans to dine with Lin Tianya at Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance.
At that moment, on the third floor of Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance, hidden in a corner, Gan Tiantian and Mu Chienchien were ordering food unabashedly, served by Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance’s Manager Zeng and a waitress dressed in the restaurant’s special cheongsam.
Manager Zeng respectfully stood by Qin Qin’s side, quietly reporting the recent developments of Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance into her ear, while the waitress took notes of what Gan Tiantian wanted to eat.
Lu Xuezhen and Zhao Han sat aside quietly, not saying anything. Zhao Han placed a juice in front of Lu Xuezhen, his expression gentle. Lu Xuezhen turned and looked at Zhao Han, affection evident in her eyes. After that incident, Lu Xuezhen had opened her heart to Zhao Han and accepted him; the two had officially become boyfriend and girlfriend.
In her peripheral vision, Qin Qin glanced at the couple, a sense of relief and joy in her eyes for them.
"Um, would you like anything else to eat?" Gan Tiantian had ordered a bunch, then passed the elegant menu to Lu Xuezhen.
Lu Xuezhen shook her head, but Zhao Han took the menu and ordered some of Lu Xuezhen’s favorite dishes.
Lu Xuezhen, smiling at the corner of her lips, also chose some of Zhao Han’s favorites, infusing the moment with warmth and affection. This made Gan Tiantian pout her lips and embrace Qin Qin.
