Sheng Anning was a little surprised: "Ding Lei's business has always been good, why is there trouble?"
Mu Xiaowan shook her head: "I'm not sure yet. What he said on the phone was vague. He said that there was a problem with a Chinese medicine drink. Would you like to go with me to take a look? Do you have time?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "Okay, I can go later in the morning."
Mu Xiaowan and Sheng Anning had breakfast, and then they drove to Ding Lei's medicinal materials company.
From a single Chinese medicine store back then to having more than a dozen branches in Beijing now, Ding Lei is indeed very capable. In addition, the pharmacy has one day a week when well-known Chinese medicine practitioners are on duty for consultations.
Therefore, there are a lot of people coming to see the doctor and get medicine, and sometimes the line can be several hundred meters long.
Ding Lei has always wanted to transform, but Mu Xiaowan does not recommend it. She wants to run a pure Chinese medicine company.
Ding Lei is still relatively obedient. Although the traditional Chinese medicine business has been declining little by little in recent years, he still insists on doing it. Patients say that it is too troublesome to buy traditional Chinese medicine and boil it at home, and it is better to buy Western medicine directly for convenience. Ding Lei asks the pharmacy to boil the medicine for the customers.
We even researched some Chinese herbal medicine drinks so that patients can just take them home and drink them together.
This time, the problem occurred with this batch of Chinese herbal medicine.
Ding Lei was a little impatient when he saw Mu Xiaowan and Sheng Anning coming. "Sister Xiaowan, you are finally here. I was so worried. I just asked the team to develop a batch of Chinese medicine drinks. They are packed in bags and stored in refrigerators. The shelf life can be up to half a month. But I just produced a large batch here. A pharmaceutical company called Xinle also produced a medicine that can be drunk directly to treat the common cold."
"Their prices are cheaper than ours, and they claim to be effective faster. I asked someone to buy a bottle and studied it, and found that their dosage is three times that of ours. Increasing the dosage does not mean faster effects. The herbal formulas are exactly the same. It's just that they have an extra ingredient, big fireworks, which is better for relieving cough and asthma."
Sheng Anning was surprised: "Starting this year, fireworks have been banned from being used as medicine, but they still dare to use them so blatantly?"
What’s more, it’s this Xinle Company again!
Ding Lei frowned: "We have also received the notice, and the sale of tobacco shells was banned two years ago. It is already illegal. They are still using it. Although it is not listed in the ingredient list, it is definitely used."
Mu Xiaowan was very puzzled: "In this case, let's report it to the police and have them arrested. As long as we don't break the law, that's fine."
Ding Lei sighed, "Sister Xiaowan, if only it were that simple. Now there are two problems. Our Chinese medicine drink was tested for two years before it was put on the market. We also submitted reports before, but Xinle had no record of submitting any. After I reported it, I found that they had all the necessary procedures. The second is the issue of ingredients. They did not admit that they used banned drugs, and the supervisory department also conducted an inspection, and the results showed no problems. Now Xinle is biting us back, saying that we are making false accusations."
"There are now hundreds of thousands of Chinese medicine drinks in the warehouse that cannot be put on the market."
Mu Xiaowan didn't expect Xinle to be so despicable: "Why don't you let us go public?"
Ding Lei shook his head: "Because we were a step late, they are now suing us for infringement and plagiarism, so they are forcing us not to go public. Now the relevant departments are also investigating and collecting evidence. In the end, we have nothing to do with it."
Sheng Anning leaned on the sofa in silence. Xinle, the company, had bribed people in her laboratory to gain benefits. It was already despicable enough. Now it even did not let go of Ding Lei's Chinese medicine company. Was it greedy or a precise attack? Was it aimed at her?
Or is it aimed at their home?
However, the legal representative of Xinle was a southerner whom I had never heard of or even recognized, so there was no need to treat them like this.
Seeing Mu Xiaowan frowning in thought and Sheng Anning remaining silent, Ding Lei thought that they were embarrassed, so he quickly said, "Sister Xiaowan, Sister Anning, if it's too difficult, just take this as a lesson. We can still afford to pay hundreds of thousands, but this is a bit cowardly."
"Besides, I'm also looking for who leaked the recipe. I spent a lot of money to buy this recipe."
Mu Xiaowan slammed the table and stood up: "No, why should he get such an advantage? Wait for me to discuss it with your sister An Ning, don't panic now."
Ding Lei nodded: "Sister, don't worry. Although I am anxious, we can still afford this little money. I just feel extremely helpless. Too helpless."
Mu Xiaowan pulled Sheng Anning: "Come out first, I have something to tell you."
The two of them got into the car and closed the door before Mu Xiaowan spoke up: "Is this Xinle also the one who stole your lab results?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "It should be."
Mu Xiaowan slapped the steering wheel and said, "It's definitely not that simple. These people must have planned this long ago! And they came for our family. I definitely won't ignore what happened to Ding Lei. And you don't need to say anything about this."
His thoughts coincided with Sheng An Ning's: "I thought so too. I just thought about it carefully. Who is behind this? The person behind the scenes is so hidden that my brother couldn't find out."
Mu Xiaowan frowned: "So powerful, that person must be in a very high position, and to be so unscrupulous, his family connections must be very powerful."
Sheng An Ning couldn't figure it out: "I don't know if we have provoked such a powerful person before. To be honest, there were only a few people who didn't get along with us when we lived in the compound, but we all know who moved away because of their failure."
Mu Xiaowan thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out. She had very little contact with the people in the compound. When she got married, the Zhou family had already moved out, so she knew very few people there.
"Why don't we go ask Chaoyang. She knows more about the people in the compound."
Sheng An Ning had no objection. She really couldn't think of anyone else who had this ability. In recent years, her life had been very peaceful and she hadn't offended anyone.
She even thought of Cheng Mingyue. There had been no news about her and her son since they were released from prison. Could it be that they had become so powerful in just a few years?
Mu Xiaowan was impatient and drove to find Zhou Chaoyang.
I asked Zhou Chaoyang to come out from work, and without even bothering to find a place to sit, I just told him about what had happened recently in the car.
Zhou Chaoyang was surprised: "Ah, I haven't been back these days, and so many things have happened?"
Mu Xiaowan was anxious: "Chaoyang, think about it, those people in the compound who didn't get along with our family back then, what are they doing now?"
Zhou Chaoyang shook his head: "I really don't know, but when I met my former neighbors, I heard that they all moved away. Many of them went to the south to develop. Some also went abroad."
Mu Xiaowan was excited: "Go to the south to develop, do you think this is the reason? After all, the legal representative of Xinle is from the south."
Sheng An Ning reminded her calmly: "It's not that easy. It also depends on whether there are powerful people in Hejing City."
Zhou Chaoyang shook his head confidently: "No, those who moved out of the compound are basically not in the officialdom, just like our family. Even if they are in the officialdom, they are not particularly powerful, otherwise they would not have moved out at all."
Mu Xiaowan frowned: "It seems that this is not easy to check."
Zhou Chaoyang thought this was not difficult: "I'll ask Lu Changfeng to check and see who the boss of Xinle has a good relationship with."
Sheng An Ning waved her hand: "No, they must know that we will check. Since they are coming for us, they must have been prepared and would not let us find out. Even if they find out, it may be an illusion. I think your eldest brother is right, let's just stay the same in the face of change."
The three of them discussed for a long time but still had no idea. If it was just a small fight, any three of them could do it, but when it came to scheming, they always felt that there were many things they had not taken into consideration.
In the end, they decided to go home and ask their own men for help.
Mu Xiaowan was very angry: "When I find out who it is, I will definitely give him a good beating!"
…
Sheng An Ning sent Mu Xiaowan to work. Seeing that it was almost noon, going to the laboratory would be just in time for lunch. She might as well go to school to have lunch with Mo Mo. She hadn't seen Mo Mo for several days.
I called Tangtang before going to school, but it turned out that the little girl was not in school because she was doing extracurricular practice.
Sheng An Ning could only ask Mo Mo to have dinner together.
Mo Mo answered the phone and went downstairs quickly. The moment he saw Sheng An Ning, he was stunned and stared at Sheng An Ning without saying a word.
Sheng An Ning smiled and waved: "Why are you so surprised to see me? Or am I disturbing your work?"
Mo Mo suppressed the shock on her face and smiled, "Mom, no, I just didn't expect you to come at this time. Your lab has been quite busy recently."
Sheng Anning stretched out her hand and held her son's arm: "I can't contact An'an now, and I can't see Zhou Zhou either. If I don't come to see you, I won't even have a child."
Mo Mo pursed his lips and said, "No, I will go back every day in the future. I'm done with my work here."
Sheng An Ning was surprised: "Really? Are you not busy here? I can see you every day when I go home in the future?"
She was indeed surprised. After all, Momo had been living outside since graduation and seldom went home. The main reason was that he liked quietness and he was never done with his work.
Momo nodded seriously: "Yes, I will go home every day and have dinner with you and grandpa and grandma."
Sheng An Ning was a little happy: "That's great, I'll go back and tell your grandfather and aunt, they will definitely wait for you to come back at mealtime every day."
Momo looked at her mother again and said, "Mom, I'll take you to our school cafeteria for dinner. Recently, the cafeteria has added a lot of new dishes and a lot of windows. The taste is very good."
Sheng An Ning felt that Mo Mo was a little different today. Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time? She happily accompanied Mo Mo to dinner. She wanted to ask Mo Mo about Su Luoluo, but she was afraid that her son would be sad.
In the end, I didn't ask anything and left happily after lunch.
Mo Mo sent Sheng An Ning to the gate and watched her mother drive away. After hesitating for a while, she called Zhou Shixun. Her voice was trembling and choked with sobs: "Dad, Mom is not feeling well now..."
