Chapter 230 The Fake Medicine Scandal!

"sister in law!"

When Gu Nanxing rushed into the house, Su Yue was preparing to feed the two little ones their nighttime milk.

"Why are you here so late? Did something happen at the factory?"

"Sister-in-law, take a look at this!" Gu Nanxing unfolded the oil paper package in her hand and laid out her doubts.

Su Yue picked up a bit of powder, glanced at it, and smelled it. Her heart sank.

She didn't say anything, but said to Gu Nanxing, "You did the right thing. Luckily you were cautious. You stay here and watch the baby for me while I go get some detailed tests done."

After saying that, she took the sample and went into her room.

The door closed, and with a thought, Su Yue entered the space.

She threw that small pinch of "blood powder" into the crystal-clear spring in the corner.

The spring water was like a mirror, reflecting her face.

The moment the dark red powder came into contact with the spring water, a faint, slightly murky gray ring quickly spread out in the water.

Although it's very faint, it's definitely there!

Something was mixed into this batch of blood ointment!

Su Yue suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils filled with icy coldness.

As she stepped out of the room, Gu Nanxing immediately rushed to greet her anxiously.

"Sister-in-law, how are you?"

“At least 30% of this batch of blood essence has been mixed with ‘Qilin blood’.” Su Yue’s voice was unreadable.

"Qilin blood?" Gu Nanxing was taken aback. What was that?

“It’s a cheap plant resin that looks and smells very similar to blood dragon’s blood, but the medicinal effects are completely different,” Su Yue explained coldly. “This stuff itself is non-toxic, but when mixed into liniment for bruises and sprains, it greatly reduces the efficacy. What was originally a miraculous medicine that could cure any ailment becomes, after using it, no different from applying a layer of paste.”

"What?!" Gu Nanxing's face turned pale with anger. "Isn't this just counterfeit medicine made with shoddy materials?! Who's so unethical! This is ruining our factory's reputation!"

Once this batch of ointment enters the market, the reputation that the pharmaceutical and medical device factory has worked so hard to build will be destroyed overnight!

"Investigate! Sister-in-law, I'm going back to investigate right now! Suppliers, purchasing agents, none of them will escape!" Gu Nanxing turned around and left angrily.

"What's the rush?"

Su Yue called out to her.

Under Gu Nanxing's puzzled gaze, Su Yue picked up the warm water on the table and slowly took a sip.

After extreme anger comes a chilling calm.

"If a target comes to our doorstep, we might as well take advantage of it." Su Yue put down her water glass and looked at her sister. "If we only find out about one supplier, it's too easy on them."

This is clearly because someone is jealous of the pharmaceutical and medical equipment factory's success and wants to sabotage it behind the scenes.

"Then... what do you mean, sister-in-law?" Gu Nanxing calmed down.

"Use their plan against them."

Su Yue walked to her side and lowered her voice.

"You may continue to use this batch of problematic medicinal materials as usual."

"What?!" Gu Nanxing exclaimed in shock. "Sister-in-law, that's fake medicine!"

“Who said we’re going to use it to make a finished product?” Su Yue glanced at her. “The production line will continue as usual, and the processes will continue as usual. We’ll show outsiders that we are using this batch of medicinal herbs for production.”

"However, before the final packaging process, we replaced all the semi-finished products. We used the batch of genuine blood dragon that we had previously prepared in our warehouse, and repackaged it."

This plan is undeniably bold.

This is tantamount to stealing the sky and changing the sun right under everyone's noses.

"In this way, we can ensure that the orders are completed on time and with high quality, without giving the other party any leverage."

Gu Nanxing's eyes lit up; she understood her sister-in-law's intention.

"That's not enough."

A cold smile appeared on Su Yue's face.

She leaned close to Gu Nanxing's ear and whispered a few more words.

"When you get back, find an opportunity to 'casually' complain to a few of the factory's more loose-lipped masters."

"For example, in order to meet the deadline, the factory has recently relaxed its quality inspection standards a little bit when it comes to medicinal herbs."

Gu Nanxing gasped after hearing this.

My sister-in-law isn't just trying to find the mole; she's setting a trap to make the person hiding in the shadows fall into the pit themselves!

Looking at Su Yue, she felt an indescribable surge of admiration and excitement.

"Sister-in-law, I understand!"

Gu Nanxing nodded heavily, turned around and walked away quickly, his back view filled with high spirits.

Su Yue watched the direction she left in, walked to the window, and gazed at the deep night outside.

She wanted to see which fish was so eager to bite the hook.

Gu Nanxing accepted his sister-in-law's plan and returned to the pharmaceutical equipment factory the next day, his whole being exuding an uncontrollable irritability.

She first convened a meeting with several workshop directors, where she flew into a rage at the production schedule.

"What time is it?! The orders are pressing us like crazy, and look at this progress! At this rate, we won't be able to deliver, let alone in a month, not even in two months!"

Several directors were so reprimanded by her that they couldn't lift their heads.

One of the bolder ones couldn't help but argue, "Director Gu, it's not that we're slow, it's that the quality control is too strict. They send it back to be redone for even the smallest problem, which wastes a lot of time."

Gu Nanxing seemed to have found an outlet for his anger, and slammed his hand on the table.

"I know! It's just that the quality control is too rigid! Everything has to be done according to the highest standards. Now is a special time, how can we have so much time to be particular!"

She took a breath and deliberately lowered her voice slightly: "I've already reported this to my superiors. Special times call for special measures! For the materials that come in later, as long as the test results are acceptable, we don't need to be so nitpicky! Everything is about ensuring the project schedule is met!"

These words were spoken softly, yet they clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

As soon as the meeting ended, news of Gu Nanxing's outburst at the meeting, complaining that the strict quality control was delaying the construction period, spread like wildfire throughout the entire pharmaceutical and medical device factory in less than half a day.

The news naturally reached the inland areas as well.

The office of the factory director of the "Baicaotang" state-owned pharmaceutical factory.

Liu Jianjun, a man in his fifties with a beer belly, was listening to the report on the phone with a smug look on his face.

"Factory manager, the news is absolutely true! To meet the deadline, the military medical supplies factory is hardly checking the incoming materials anymore; as long as the order form says 'qualified,' that's enough!"

On the other end of the phone was his distant nephew, whom he had placed among the suppliers.

Liu Jianjun's fat jiggled, revealing a greasy smile.

"Good! Well done!"

After hanging up the phone, he picked up the large tea mug on the table and took a satisfying sip.

The military medical equipment factory, that Cheng Yaojin who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, stole so much of their limelight and market share with his so-called dampness-removing and blood-activating patch!

Now they've come up with a special liniment for sprains and bruises, and it looks like they're about to extend their reach into the inland areas. How can he tolerate this!

He had long disliked that young, blonde girl, Su Yue.

This time, the opportunity has finally arrived.

He thought that mixing in some "Qilin blood" last time would severely damage the other party's strength, but he didn't expect the other party to have no reaction at all.

It now seems that it wasn't that there was no reaction, but that nothing was detected at all!
