Lu Anning's face froze and he quietly stepped back.
"What's going on?"
"A large number of the newly produced drugs are substandard. I'm afraid you'll need to come to the company in person."
Lu Anning looked at the festive atmosphere and agreed.
"I'll be right back. We can talk about anything when I get there."
Lu Anning had just hung up the phone when a black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the clinic. Before he saw the people in the car, he heard a burst of laughter.
"How can I be absent from such a lively scene?"
The car door opened, and out stepped the Gong family father and son. Gong Shaohua smiled kindly as always, his eyes fixed on An Li in the crowd. Gong Ming personally came over, carrying a gift box.
"A-Li, your clinic is opening, I'm not late, am I?"
An Li lowered his eyes and smiled politely: "Since Mr. Gong is here, it's not too late."
"We've known each other for many years. Calling me 'Mr. Gong' is a bit too formal. Gong Ming, why don't you take out the gift I prepared?"
He smiled and waved, and Gong Ming immediately handed over the box in his hand.
Lu Anning looked at Gong Shaohua's dagger hidden in his smile and had a bad feeling.
Seeing that An Li had no intention of arguing with the father and son of the Gong family, he accepted the gift and was about to invite the person in, but Gong Shaohua refused to give in.
"Ah Li, considering our friendship, why don't you open the gift I sent you? Well, let everyone here open their eyes."
An Li glanced at Gong Shaohua. No one knew what he was up to. However, in the eyes of the guests, An Li was actually an old friend of the chairman of the Gong Group, which showed how powerful she was.
This situation reminded everyone of the scene at the Gong family dinner, and they became more and more certain that the relationship between Gong Shaohua and An Li was definitely extraordinary.
However, one is rich and powerful, and the other has special skills. It is hard to say who took advantage of whom.
An Li smiled slightly: "The gift you gave me is naturally good, so there's no need to open it in public!"
"How can that be! I'm planning to let you put this thing in the clinic. How about I help you take it apart?"
"No, I can do it myself."
An Li lowered her eyes and looked into Gong Shaohua's seemingly tender eyes with a complicated expression.
The ribbon was easily untied, and An Li opened the box. It turned out to be a jade carving of the God of Wealth that was completely emerald green. The statue of the God of Wealth was lifelike and vivid. Just looking at this jade carving, you could tell that it was worth a lot of money.
Imperial green jade bracelets are already very valuable. Two years ago, an old lady got an imperial green jade ruyi and wanted to take it around Kyoto to let everyone know. However, it is not as rare as the imperial green God of Wealth in front of her.
This statue is nearly half a meter tall, and it is difficult to find the raw material, let alone find a skilled sculptor.
The item is rare, but this statue of the God of Wealth is to be placed in the clinic. After that moment of amazement, everyone thought about it carefully, and their expressions changed.
There are thousands of shops, but only places like hospitals and clinics are not suitable for placing the God of Wealth. Isn't this equivalent to curing everyone to get sick more often and causing more and more patients?
After understanding it, no one could laugh anymore.
"How is it? I prepared this specially for your clinic. Do you like it?"
"It's a nice thing, but it's too valuable. I don't dare accept it. You should take it back and put it in your own office. I'm a busy person and I'm not sure if it gets bumped or scratched. The things are secondary, but blasphemy is the worst taboo."
"How could that be? Everyone who can come here has a sense of awe. Your worries are unnecessary. I'll prepare an altar for you later. It will be placed in the lobby. It's the most suitable place. We are all businessmen. Isn't it our wish to see the God of Wealth?"
Lu Anning clenched his fists. No one in a clinic would hope that the boss would get rich. With so many guests here, Gong Shaohua must have done it on purpose.
She couldn't help but want to fight back, but An Li quietly pulled her back.
An Li smiled slightly: "Mr. Gong's kindness, then I will accept it. But as for where to put it, Mr. Gong doesn't need to worry about it. If you come a few more times, won't you just receive a living God of Wealth?"
The smile on Gong Shaohua's face froze: "A-Li, you still like to joke so much."
"Okay! Everyone, please come in and take a seat. If necessary, you can register and make an appointment in advance."
The people who came were waiting for An Li to say this. As soon as the words fell, the guests walked in one after another, scrambling to make an appointment and get a number.
After all, there are only An Li and Gu Yu in charge of seeing patients, and the number of patients they see every day is limited. An Li also has to arrange time to teach, so it is busier than being at the experimental base.
Despite the large number of people, An Li managed to keep the clinic in good order. The new apprentices, those with basic skills, helped guide those without, and had already familiarized themselves with the entire process of the clinic before the opening. This allowed everyone to be busy without getting too flustered.
Lu Anning was worried about the company's affairs, so he said something to An Li in private and left early.
Tang Jingyuan sent the person to the company. Zhong Ling was already waiting downstairs with information in her hand, but she didn't expect Tang Jingyuan to be there.
"Third Master is here too?"
"He sent me here. Tell me what happened."
Zhong Ling handed the document to Lu Anning and explained the whole incident.
"The specific cause is still under investigation. We may need to go to the production line to see what's going on. This order is due for delivery soon. If we can't get it delivered by then, we're worried about the customer's explanation. Losing money is a small matter, but it could affect our reputation."
The entire pharmaceutical production process on the production line is strictly controlled by the quality inspection department, so major problems generally do not occur. The most important thing now is to determine the extent of the losses and find a way to remedy them in a timely manner.
"Mr. Lu, this batch of medicine is definitely unusable. This is a significant loss for us. If we start collecting herbs and producing them again now, we might be able to finish it on time by working overtime. However, we have always had very high requirements for herbs, and we are worried that we won't be able to find such a large supplier in a short time."
"Let's go take a look first. Also, have the purchasing department contact the drug dealers first so we can be prepared for both scenarios."
If this batch of medicine can be salvaged, that would be the best. If not, she would try her best to deliver the goods on time even if she loses money.
When the production line heard that the boss was coming in person, everyone was on high alert and carefully checked the entire production process, trying to find the root cause before Lu Anning arrived at the production line.
Along the way, Lu Anning was busy discussing issues with Zhong Ling and did not notice that Tang Jingyuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, frowned slightly and said nothing.
It's such a good day for the clinic to open, but something went wrong on the production line. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
As he was leaving the clinic with Lu An Ning, he happened to meet Gong Ming's provocative gaze. Could it be that the Gong family father and son had failed to convince An Ning to help and were going to attack her?
