The people in the investigation team didn't tolerate him and threw him over their shoulders.
"Bang——"
“Ouch—”
Chen Yuan lay on the ground wailing.
The investigation team asked again, "Who are you? What is your relationship with Zhou Yuqing?"
His back hurt so much that he took a few breaths before he could speak.
"Who are you? Did Li Mingqing ask you to come here?"
"Disciplinary Inspection Commission Investigation Team," the man said and took out his ID.
Chen Yuan was stunned. Only then did he notice that they were wearing uniforms and were indeed from the Discipline Inspection Commission.
"Comrade, I'm a researcher at the Xingfu Pharmaceutical Research Laboratory. My name is Chen Yuan. Zhou Yuqing has been wrongly accused. I can testify for her. You must clear her name."
He spoke with great certainty.
The three members of the investigation team exchanged glances.
"In that case, Comrade Chen Yuan, please come with us later and cooperate with the investigation."
Chen Yuan was stunned for three seconds and said in disbelief: "Me? Cooperate with the investigation?"
"Yes, you just said you would testify for her."
He choked, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot.
Although he believed that Zhou Yuqing was innocent, he was not willing to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission.
If someone saw it and spread it, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had three mouths.
"Comrade, Zhou Yuqing and I are not in the same department. We seldom communicate with each other. At most, we say a few words at the pharmaceutical factory's annual meeting," he said embarrassedly.
"Aren't you two on good terms?"
Chen Yuan felt like he was slapped in the face. "I pursued her unilaterally and we only spoke a few times."
After he said this, he ran away while enduring the pain.
Almost got into trouble!
He thought that he would visit Zhou Yuqing after the storm had died down.
——
A few days later, Zhang Dehai's case of corruption and bribery made headlines.
Zhou Yuqing is also on the headlines.
Li Mingqing looked at the newspaper and sighed, what a pity for those several boxes of small yellow croakers.
Especially Zhang Dehai's home.
There must be a lot of wealth that is not visible to the public, and it has all been handed over to the country.
Wang Haichun, Chairman of Xingfu Pharmaceutical, came over.
"President Li, I'm shamelessly asking for your help. Something happened a while ago that has caused some awkwardness between the pharmaceutical company and Peking University and Tsinghua University Affiliated Hospital."
"Embarrassing? Just let it be. What's there to be embarrassed about? It's not about the person, but the matter."
"Oh, it's hard to do," Wang Haichun sighed. "President Li, there are not many people as free and easy as you. After Zhou Yuqing's incident was exposed to the public, Xingfu Pharmaceutical has attracted a lot of attention. We have to be cautious, for fear of making another big mistake."
Li Mingqing consoled him, "Times have changed, but the contract is still in place, so the impact isn't significant at the moment."
"I'm worried about the contract renewal in the future," Wang Haichun said embarrassedly.
"Dean Li, could you please arrange a dinner for Dean Ye?"
"I really can't do this, Chairman Wang. You can just go directly to Dean Ye. He's not narrow-minded and can't tell right from wrong."
After hearing what Li Mingqing said, his heart sank.
It's all over.
Without Li Mingqing's intervention, the cooperation with the affiliated hospital would probably fail.
Everything is determined by fate and has no control over us.
He asked without giving up: "Dean Li, do you think Dean Ye will cooperate with Xingfu Pharmaceutical?"
"It's very likely that there's nothing wrong with the medicine, but with the people."
Li Mingqing is pragmatic.
Wang Haichun felt much more at ease.
Come to think of it, this was not the first time he had dealt with Ye Hongzhuo.
Ye Hongzhuo is an upright person and would not deliberately make things difficult for him.
"Thank you, Dean Li, for your enlightenment."
"It's not that I can say I'm being enlightened," Li Mingqing said with a smile, "You're just too concerned."
Wang Haichun left for an hour.
Li Mingqing received a call from Ye Hongzhuo.
"President Li, if you have time tonight, I'll treat you to a nice dinner, along with Boss Wang Haichun."
"I won't go. You guys eat and drink well."
"Ah? You're not coming? We ordered a table full of dishes, and it would be a waste if you couldn't finish them. We'll be waiting for you," Ye Hongzhuo hung up the phone without waiting for Li Mingqing to reply.
Qianmen Hotel.
Li Mingqing heard the two people talking as soon as he arrived at the door of the private room.
"Sorry for the wait."
Ye Hongzhuo said cheerfully: "That's a bit awkward."
He looked at the shiny dining table, which only had a fruit plate on it, and said, "The food hasn't been served yet."
"How can we serve the food if you don't come? We will definitely wait for you to come before serving the food. Otherwise, you will have to eat leftovers. We can't do that."
"Stop being so joking and serve the food."
Before Li Mingqing came, Wang Haichun and Ye Hongzhuo had already discussed the cooperation.
The three of them got along very well.
Wang Haichun settled the bill under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
In the private room, Ye Hongzhuo said, "Is this meal okay? If not, order more."
"Look at this table. Let's pack it up and take it away later."
He was shocked when he heard this. "Hey, Dean Li, you are not afraid of losing face at all."
“Will the price drop if you pack it up?”
"I am shocked that a successful person like you, with such a high social status, would do such a simple act."
Li Mingqing said helplessly: "Food is the most important thing for people. Waste is shameful."
"Based on what you said, if you don't succeed, who will? Let me learn from you," Ye Hongzhuo said in a serious tone.
"Come on," Li Mingqing said with a smile, "Wang Haichun has gone down to pay the bill."
Ye Hongzhuo: "! Pay the bill? Why should he pay for my treat?"
"It's a matter of understanding the world."
"As expected, Zhang Dehai is the one who has to win. He used to be the one who made all the social events in the hospital happen. What a pity," Ye Hongzhuo sighed.
Li Mingqing nodded, agreeing with what he said.
