Chen Xia's arrogant attitude made Wu Ke blush and look very angry.
But there was no way. Since the investigation was not conducted by the press committee, it meant that there was no evidence for the report, and there was no way to impose compulsory measures on Chen Xia.
Deputy Director Yang actually knew very well that this kind of thing would not be a capital crime. His goal was to seize this opportunity to remove him from his position as section chief, so the level of the investigation team was not high.
Chen Xia ignored this person and walked out the door. He quickly called a few subordinates over and said,
"Wei Hongxing, go find Director Xuan Yongda right away and tell him I've been reported for selling counterfeit medicine. They might have to investigate the gastroenterology department. Have him and the patient tell the same story. I sold nutritional supplements, not medicine, and I only sold two pills.
Sheng Qingyun, go find Dean Gu or Secretary Zhang right away and tell them that Deputy Director Yang Jingye of the Regional Health Bureau has instructed others to collect dirt on me, and that it must be that old guy Lou Jianling who's behind this. Let them know what's going on.
Lu Fang, go to the Chinese medicine store and ask Master Wang Hequan to get some red dates, coix seeds, and wolfberries. Don't use too many. Here's my key. Deliver these herbs to my house and take away all the other herbs on the ground. Remember to act quickly and split up."
The three trusted subordinates immediately nodded in acceptance of the order and left as quickly as possible.
Chen Xia whistled and walked into his office with a nonchalant look on his face. This kind of investigation, unless you catch them in bed, what's the point without evidence? It's nothing more than a connection.
It doesn't matter if your background is really unreliable. You can leave the system and go to the countryside. With your own golden fingers, are you afraid that you won't be able to make a name for yourself?
No matter what era, people with real abilities will never starve to death. At most, they can just pretend to be grandsons for a few years.
Xu Shuangli and several members of the investigation team sat in the office and waited for Chen Xia to "finish work" before starting the formal investigation and questioning.
In the small conference room on the second floor of the General Affairs Department.
The four members of the investigation team took out pen and paper to take notes. Xu Shuangli asked the first question:
"Comrade Chen Xia, have you recently sold a medicine specifically for treating gastritis to the public? Each pill costs 5 yuan."
"No."
Xu Shuangli stopped writing and looked directly at Chen Xia: "By 'no', do you mean you never sold drugs, or you mean you never received money?"
Chen Xia said calmly, "What I mean is that I did sell some nutritional supplements. Please note that the investigation team is aware that they are nutritional supplements, not medicines."
"Then can you introduce the formula of this nutritional supplement?"
"Oh, this is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, so I can't go into detail. I can only roughly say that I use a health-preserving recipe and eight ingredients, including pure natural honey, red dates, yam, and tangerine peel.
Then, using a special process, the food is made to strengthen the spleen and appetite, replenish qi and strengthen the body, but it is definitely not a medicine, at most it is similar to the tonic wine sold by Zhenyuantang.
Wu Ke snorted: "If you say it's not medicine, then it's not medicine?"
Chen Xia chuckled twice. "Of course, what I say doesn't count. We have several comrades from the investigation team here. You can find out whether it is medicine or a nutritional supplement after investigation."
Xu Shuangli asked again, "So how many of these so-called nutritional supplements have you sold in the past few days? And how much did you receive?"
"There aren't many pills. Some of the ingredients in this kind of health supplement are too expensive. How many people can afford it at 5 yuan a pill? I've only sold 4 pills so far, and I've received a total of 20 yuan."
Wu Ke couldn't help it anymore and asked sternly, "That's not right. The report we received said you were selling at least dozens of pills every day."
Chen Xia shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and asked:
"Deputy Section Chief Wu, please produce evidence. When, where, and how did I sell it to whom? As a member of the investigation team, I hope that Deputy Section Chief Wu will provide evidence. Otherwise, I will sue you for defamation."
The young clerks next to him couldn't help but laugh. Wu Ke's face had not been in a good mood today.
Xu Shuangli remained indifferent. He had figured out that Chen Xia, at such a young age, could become a section chief without a talented person behind him. Furthermore, his composure in the face of the investigation team indicated that he had cleaned up his mess.
If they could find the problem, that would be great. They could report it to Deputy Director Yang. If they couldn't, with Wu Ke around, no one could blame him. He just needed to maintain a neutral attitude and avoid getting caught in a scandal.
When gods fight, mortals avoid them.
Just as Chen Xia was arguing with the investigation team, Dean Gu and Secretary Zhang got the news and held a meeting.
The two were not too nervous. They had already seen Chen Xia's cunning and shamelessness during the rice selling incident. This guy was not the first time to be investigated. He was really a troublemaker.
However, the Health Bureau investigation team came to investigate the staff of their Fourth Hospital without notifying the hospital. This is a bit arrogant, or even a violation of procedures, so the necessary protests must be made.
Gu Wei picked up the phone and called directly to Mao Yangping, the director of the regional health bureau.
"Hey, is that Lao Mao? I say you're really being disrespectful. You came to our Fourth Hospital to investigate one of our section chiefs, accusing him of selling counterfeit drugs, and yet you didn't even notify our hospital. Aren't you quite so arrogant?"
Mao Yangping was puzzled: "No, I don't know anything about this. Can you tell me what happened?"
"The story is simple. Comrade Chen Xia, the head of our hospital's General Affairs Department, developed a nutritional supplement based on an old family recipe. It's said that eating it can stimulate the appetite. However, right after the research was completed, someone reported it to Comrade Yang Jingye. So, today, they came to our hospital with great momentum and have taken Chief Chen into custody."
Mao Yangping was unhappy when he heard this. Investigating a section chief was a big deal in the health system. The D Committee of the Bureau should hold a meeting to study it, and then send the inspection team to investigate. He sent the investigation team privately, which showed that he did not take him, the director, seriously.
"Chen Xia? Is he Comrade Chen Bingkun's eldest son, the newly elected young section chief? This Yang Jingye is messing around and meddling in other people's affairs. Okay, I know what's going on. Now that the investigation team is here, let's wait for the results."
In any unit, the top and second-in-command almost never get along peacefully. Director Mao, this old fox, has not expressed his opinion yet. He is waiting for the results of the investigation to see if he can take advantage of it and whether he can catch any flaws in Yang Jingye.
After Dean Gu hung up the phone, he was also waiting for the report from the investigation team. It was useless for them to come forward now.
But if the investigation yields no results, don't blame him for slapping himself in the face. Is it so easy to lose face for the Fourth Hospital and Gu Wei? In his eyes, Yang Jingye is nothing, his rank is not as high as his.
