Even though they had already thought of a solution, Ji Qingyans departure still cast a shadow over everyones hearts.
In this game, Zhao Mo was insignificant, and Muddy Waters was nothing.
To Lin Yi, the real danger might be with their relations.h.i.+p.
After all, no one knew if the broken mirror could ever be fixed.
Peninsula Hotel.
Zhao Wen called the representatives of the six pharmaceutical companies to the meeting room and looked at the people present.
Your company has already sent the authorization letter over, right?
Its all clear. We can sign on behalf of the company and have the contract ready, Frey said.
Zhao Wen nodded and handed the thick contract to Frey. Then, she asked them to sign it one by one.
After signing everything, she could go to Huashan Hospital to look for Lin Yi.
Because it had all been discussed beforehand, the signing event went very smoothly.
However, just as Zhao Wen was about to leave with the contract, she suddenly heard Wei Kang say,
Something seems to have happened to President Lin.
Something happened? Zhao Wen did not respond.
Go take a look at Weibo and youll know.
Listening to Wei Kangs instruction, Zhao Wen turned on her phone.
Even though they were all employees of foreign companies and lived abroad all year round, the state of the global market was still their main focus, so they were not unfamiliar with social media apps like Weibo.
Zhao Wen was surprised when she saw the trending news on Weibo.
Whats going on? Why are is there so much negative news on him?
Its very likely that someone is deliberately sabotaging him. Otherwise, it wouldnt be like this. Wei Kang said.
Their public relations department has already released an article, but it didnt have that much effect. The shares of Didi Chuxing, a subsidiary of Lingyun Group, are about to fall to the limit down. Whats more, their listed shares are currently limited to a maximum decline of 20% a day. If this continues, their shares will be nearly cut in half tomorrow.
The people present were no longer in the mood to pay attention to the contract.
All their attention was directed at these negative articles.
Zhao Wen frowned deeply.
Which company is courting death by provoking Lin Yi?
I think its Muddy Waters, Frey said. I think someone there did this. Besides them, no one else is capable enough to pull this off.
Wei Kang held his phone and nodded repeatedly. This kind of operation is exactly like Muddy Waters fighting style. If Im not wrong, someone should be trying to profit from shorting his company shares.
But the problem is that Lin Yi is about to start working with us. Moreover, the companys public relations department was already prepared to make this news public. Such negative news will have an extremely bad impact on our partners.h.i.+p.
Wei Kang put down his phone on the table and placed his hands on his lap.
Its not just Weibo now. Several other high-traffic platforms in the country have also hyped up this matter. Muddy Waters was a little ruthless this time. It looks like they want to go for the throat.
Frey shrugged. If hes wiped out, our interests will be affected. In the words of you Huaxians, we should be implicated.
Zhao Wen fiddled with her phone with a solemn expression, then finally said,
I wont send this contract over for now. Lets call the company to tell the leaders about this and see their stance on this.
Okay.
Everyone got up and returned to their rooms.
This kind of matter had to be kept a secret. They could not make too much noise to prevent others from hearing it.
According to the time, it was 11 p.m. U.S. time.
However, for these multinational executives, sleep was a luxury.
Even if she went home to rest at night, her phone would be on so that she wouldnt miss any work messages.
About ten minutes later, the people from the six pharmaceutical companies returned to the meeting room.
Lets wait for the news. Our CEO said that the board of directors wants to study this. After the research results are out, they still have to review it with your higher-ups. I reckon there wont be any results for a while.
Thats the only way. Well wait here for now, Zhao Wen said.
Almost three hours later, Pfizer and the people from the six major pharmaceutical companies received a message from their headquarters.
After receiving the news, everyone looked at each other.
The news that everyone received should be about the same.
Wei Kang nodded. Well sign the contract first. Theyll deal with the rest.
Since we have a decision, Ill send the contract over now. Everyone can make the necessary preparations. You can return home tomorrow.
No problem. Although I like Huaxian delicacies, work is more important, Frey said.
Zhao Wen didnt know how the head office would handle this matter, but they would probably think of a way to help Lin Yi suppress the news.
Therefore, there was no pressure on her side. She would simply send the eight contracts over and let Lin Yi sign them.
Zhao Wen looked at her watch and realized that it was already past three in the afternoon. Thus, she took a taxi to Huashan Hospital.
However, when they arrived at Huashan Hospital, Zhao Wen realized that Lin Yis surgery was not over yet.
The nurse at the hospital also said that Lin Yi might not come out of the operating theater until dark or early in the morning.
Zhao Wen was helpless and could only wait here. She also asked the nurses in the hospital about the situation and chatted with them.
The nurse was quite familiar with Zhao Wen. After being tormented by Director Lin for so long, she was still alive and kicking. Her life had been quite tough.
During the conversation, Zhao Wen understood the situation.
The child in the operating theater was only two months old. Not only did he have congenital heart disease, but he also had the rare condition known as SMA.
Only then did she understand why Lin Yi insisted on lowering the price of those rare medicines.
It was all because of this.
Sitting on the hospital bench, Zhao Wen combed her hair.
She realized that other than being handsome, Lin Yi also had another obvious characteristic.
He could think things through very clearly and was not blinded by anger at all.
Back then, Pfizer wanted to export ibuprofen to Huaxia. The final price per box was 289.
However, he offered a price of 9.9.
Although the request was extreme, he still left them some room for profit.
This time, he only asked for the medicine that could treat rare diseases to be reduced by one-third.
From another perspective, this negotiation method was quite reasonable.
Presumably, before he started the negotiations, he had also included the time cost and research and development cost before finally deciding on this number.
Although he kept scolding capitalists, he did not brainlessly stand on the side of ordinary people either. Instead, he found a clever balance between the two.
I can give you a cheaper price, but you still have to pay for treatment and medicine. Its impossible for you to get it for free.
At the thought of this, Zhao Wen smiled. This man was really interesting.
He was a combination of contradictions.
Miss Zhao.
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu walked in from outside.
Liang Ruoxu was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and a womans suit skirt. She was wearing a pair of black high heels and looked elegant.
Liang Ruoxu was slightly surprised to see Zhao Wen sitting at the side.
It had only been a month. He did not expect to see her again.
h.e.l.lo, Mayor Liang. I have something to talk to Mr. Lin about, but hes still in surgery, so Im waiting here.
Liang Ruoxu nodded in response, but she thought to herself,
Dont tell me he even flirted with Zhao Wen?
