"Dad, you can count on me to handle this. As soon as the Zhonghai Daily arrives, take a look at the headline, heh heh, it’ll definitely surprise you!"
Wang Jun felt proud of his meticulous planning. He thought to himself, Qin Pharmaceutical must be in chaos by now, right?
"You, my boy, seem to really be capable. Keep it up, and in the future, you’ll take over my position."
Listening to his only son’s words filled Wang Yousheng with joy. He had always wanted to cultivate Wang Jun as his successor and had been continuously training him.
If this time Wang Jun really could take down Qin Pharmaceutical and tarnish Qin’s Scar Removal Ointment, it would prove that Wang Jun had a mind for business.
The father and son duo were having breakfast in the villa’s living room, having instructed the housekeeper to bring in the Zhonghai Daily as soon as it was delivered.
Around eight o’clock in the morning, the paper delivery person arrived at the villa’s gate. The housekeeper, who had been waiting there, received a stack of newspapers, selected the Zhonghai Daily, and walked directly towards the living room.
"Oh, the Zhonghai Daily is here?"
Seeing the newspaper in the housekeeper’s hand, an excited Wang Jun, sipping on milk, said, "Dad, take a look quickly, your surprise, heh heh..."
The housekeeper, knowing his place, handed the newspaper directly to Wang Yousheng.
Wang Yousheng took the newspaper with a delighted smile and flipped directly to the section of the Zhonghai Daily related to corporate news.
But as he opened that section, Wang Yousheng’s expression first showed pleasure, and then, seemingly upon spotting a particular news headline, his face instantly changed!
Within mere seconds, Wang Yousheng turned pale, his face ashen with no trace of color.
Wang Jun, who had been eager to surprise Wang Yousheng, was similarly startled by the change in his father’s complexion.
"Dad, what’s wrong? There’s no news about Qin Pharmaceutical?" Wang Jun leaned in to ask.
"There’s not much about Qin Pharmaceutical, it’s full of news about our Wang Pharmaceutical! Look at the ’surprise’ you’ve given me, it’s not a surprise, it’s a shock! Hmph!"
With an iron-grey complexion, Wang Yousheng tossed the newspaper aside and stood up to pace back and forth in the hall.
Wang Jun felt confused, his mind a total blank. Not a surprise, but a shock? What did that mean?
He hurriedly picked up the newspaper to read, and the first thing he saw was the headline "Wang Pharmaceutical suppresses Qin Pharmaceutical with despicable methods," immediately Wang Jun felt his heart turn cold.
As he read on, his face turned as grim as his father’s, furious.
The newspaper article began by exposing the scheming of Wang Pharmaceutical’s illegal suppression of Qin Pharmaceutical, including selling off Qin Pharmaceutical’s suppliers, hiring fake clients to create trouble outside Qin Pharmaceutical’s doors, and getting journalists to write fake news... and so on. The article pointed directly at Wang Pharmaceutical, even stating that Wang Pharmaceutical had broken the law.
The rest of the news was even more explosive.
First, Yang Qing, a reporter for "Zhonghai Daily" who was bribed by Wang Jun, came forward to discuss the process of being bought off by Wang Jun of Qin Pharmaceutical, detailing where the negotiations took place and how much money was involved. Eventually, reporter Yang Qing had a sudden awakening and reported the matter to the newspaper’s leadership.
Then, Wang Jun’s assistant, Sun Shanquan, stepped forward to expose all of Wang Jun’s schemes to frame Qin Pharmaceutical. He detailed the entire conspiracy, how Wang Jun plotted the entrapment, the times and places, so clearly that one couldn’t help but believe it was true.
After reading the news report, Wang Jun’s face was almost completely devoid of color, and he abruptly stood up from the wooden couch in the living room.
"This Sun Shanquan, playing both sides, actually turned on me!"
Enraged, Wang Jun reached for his phone intending to call Sun Shanquan, but at that moment, Sun Shanquan’s phone was already turned off, and he was completely unreachable.
Wang Jun, puffing with anger and glaring furiously, turned to his father Wang Yousheng in the living room and said, "Dad, I had originally planned this whole thing out... I never expected Sun Shanquan to betray me..."
Wang Yousheng glared fiercely at Wang Jun, his cheeks spasming with anger, "Look at the fine mess you’ve made! How do you expect me to fix this now!"
Wang Yousheng scrolled through the news on his phone and, seeing the flood of negative news about Qin Pharmaceutical online, felt a sense of despair, especially after reading the comments and curses from netizens, which made his head spin. Suddenly, he let out a scream and collapsed to the floor!
Wang Jun had not given Wang Yousheng a surprise, indeed it was a shock, and it had effectively achieved the intended effect...
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Qin Pharmaceutical, countless reporters swarmed the scene. Dozens, even hundreds of news outlets were camping out in front of the headquarters, all hoping to get the latest scoop.
At this time, Qin Pharmaceutical was in complete disarray. With the chairman unconscious and the vice-chairman unable to control the situation, the media and netizens were crucifying them, leading to total chaos.
Moreover, with ample evidence and witnesses to Qin Pharmaceutical’s framing of Qin Pharmaceutical, the police also took action, summoning Wang Jun to the station for questioning. Facing accusations from reporter Yang Qing and his former confidant Sun Shanquan, Wang Jun had no ability to defend himself and could only hang his head in guilt, admitting to the multitude of illegal activities aimed at framing Qin Pharmaceutical.
"Qin Pharmaceutical framing Qin Pharmaceutical," this news became the hot topic in Zhonghai City over the next few days, with more and more exposés of Qin Pharmaceutical’s dark deeds and previous illegal practices snowballing on the internet, adding insult to injury for Qin Pharmaceutical!
Furthermore, regulatory agencies such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Tax Bureau, Drug Administration, and the Consumer Association, also began to descend on the headquarters of Qin Pharmaceutical, to investigate and verify Qin Pharmaceutical’s past breaches of discipline and regulations.
In less than a week, Qin Pharmaceutical went from a large pharmaceutical company valued at more than ten billion to being worth less than three billion! And with troubles mounting, lawsuits kept coming!
"Hahaha, Qin Pharmaceutical, it’s over!"
In his office, Qin Tian laughed heartily while looking at the recent news about Qin Pharmaceutical, in excellent spirits.
Standing by his side, Du Qiuniang smiled and said, "Master, not only that, but by leveraging this news of Qin Pharmaceutical framing Qin Pharmaceutical, our Qin Pharmaceutical’s image has become even more positive. Moreover, with the topic’s popularity and the actual effectiveness of Qin’s Scar Removal Ointment, our sales have doubled compared to last week, and we’re receiving large orders every day!"
"Hmm, hmm, this Qin Pharmaceutical came knocking on my door, wanting to take me down? In the end, they lost their wife and their army... Now they’re finished, disgraced, and going forward, their market... our Qin Pharmaceutical will swallow it whole!"
Qin Tian looked confidently out the window, his gaze far-reaching.
