“I thought they were very tolerant! Now it seems that it’s nothing much! Although I don’t interfere in the matters of the outside world anymore, I can at least be said to know clearly what happened to them! At this point, it’s time for me to clean up the insects around me!

Otherwise, they’ll all think I’m dead!”

There was an obvious coldness in the old leader’s tone. Those who knew him well knew that he was fuming already! To be able to provoke someone who had always been good-tempered to such an extent, one could imagine how serious this matter was! However, Tang Mingkun and Lu Ming seemed to not notice it at all. They were both immersed in their own world.

The former stared at the tea leaves in his cup and thought to himself, The tea stem is standing up. Could it be that something good is about to happen? He glanced at his good friend from the corner of his eye. Someone might come to visit and deliver tea leaves in the near future. At that time, would he be able to ‘take’ a hundred million points?

If the old leader knew that this was his plan, he would definitely chase after his friend and beat him up without caring about his image! He was really pushing his luck. He had taken so many tea leaves from him last time, but he was still not satisfied?! He had not even finished the tea leaves he snatched and now he was eyeing the pot! He was too much!

As for Lu Ming, he was thinking about what the old leader had said. What did he mean by knowing everything? Could it be that the old leader had planted his own people around those people? When he thought of this possibility, he could not help but exclaim in his heart. What a big deal! Moreover, this matter can’t be done overnight. On the contrary, it has to be done slowly. What if his trusted aide is a spy or something? That will be too exciting, right?

After so long, even if he was just a small employee, he must have climbed to a high position after so many years. Moreover, could it be that the old leader has already realized that something is wrong with Fang Tiancheng? No, no, no, how could that be? Before I reminded him, the he did not notice anything.

And so he thought of the most likely guess—

The old leader took my words to heart and went to investigate Fang Tiancheng. He discovered many bad things. Thinking about it, wasn’t Fang Tiancheng the fuse? Immediately after, the old leader decided to investigate everyone around him in a fit of anger and chose to use the nails that he had buried many years ago!

Wasn’t this a big change?

Thinking of this, Lu Ming’s eyes turned dead. If it was the old leader who did this, it seemed to be quite normal. Such swift and decisive methods were impossible for others to learn even if they wanted to. But it was also good. No matter what, it could be said that he had stopped the losses in time!

…

On the other side of the ocean, the Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company was already in a mess.

Pitt was unaware of what was happening in China. He was humming happily, occasionally glancing at the tall buildings outside the French windows. Not long ago, his team had finally developed the third prevention vaccine, This Place No. 3. He could not wait to announce such good news to the world, but now was not the right time, because he wanted to achieve a stunning effect!

He had to wait until the preventive medicine was about to enter the market before he made a big announcement! He could already see countless money pouring into his pockets! This was also thanks to the help of Lu Ming Corporation. Mr. Lu was a good partner. If there was a chance, he wanted to form an alliance with him!

Just as he was immersed in his fantasy, a blond man in a gray suit rushed over and said, “Mr. Pitt? I just asked the secretary about your whereabouts and was about to look for you. I didn’t expect to meet you here!”

Pitt looked up at him and said with a smile, “I wanted to find you too, but you came to me! I wanted to ask why the progress of the other drugs was so slow. Now that This Place has been completed, I don’t mind taking two or three days off, but isn’t this a little too long, Mr. Hans?”

The young man called Hans shrugged and said, “That’s not our problem. In fact, the researchers have wanted to start production for a long time, but the conditions don’t allow it. I’m looking for you because of this—the available funds for the activities have been exhausted. It’s not enough to support our project!”

Pitt looked at him in astonishment. “How is that possible?! Didn’t we just inject a hundred million dollars a while ago? This money will definitely last for 10 days to half a month. You must be joking, right? Oh! Hans, I’m talking to you about something serious. Please be serious!”

“I mean it.”

Hans was not surprised by the investor’s reaction. In other words, he had expected this. He paused and then said, “It’s expensive to make new drugs. Just working out this No. 3 prophylaxis has used up all the money. Didn’t you say you wanted a more perfect drug? No. 3 is not only fast and strong, but it has no side effects.”

He took a deep breath and said, “This is a good thing. At first, I was quite happy, but if we don’t inject funds again soon, everything will become an illusion! The preventive drugs will be useless, and the projects we want to research in the future will be empty talk! In the end, the company will only collapse. We don’t have much time.”

A huge pressure suddenly appeared out of thin air, making Pitt a little breathless! He had not been happy for long, so why was the bad news coming so quickly?! He pursed his lips, his expression grave. In the beginning, he wanted to develop a more powerful preventive medicine because the virus was getting stronger. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that even if he sold it, it would not be effective, so he had to be prepared!

However, he did not expect that he would still have to face a situation where he had no money. He could not delay any longer! This was the only thought in his mind, and it became even stronger! He immediately called Lu Ming and asked where the drug review was!

And such news spread throughout the company like wildfire!

As soon as the Chinese man in the white coat walked into the institute, he realized that his colleagues had stopped what they were doing. They were either idling or looking at the scenery outside the window or playing with their phones. Only a few of them were scribbling on paper, as if they were calculating something.

He had only taken a few days off. Why had everyone changed?

Curiosity compelled him to pat his friend’s shoulder and say, “Are you guys resting? I remember that there are still a few research projects that are being rushed by the higher-ups. Aren’t you afraid that one of the leaders will come and deduct your salary? Or is there an unexpected accident in the company?”

“An accident? If you want to put it that way, it’s true. Because the company’s funds have already been emptied, we all have nothing to do and can only relax.”
