"Did you find her?""Zhou Shen and Mao Yi were also contacted, but they’ve been rehearsing recently, and their schedule is tight. It will be a few days before they can join us for recording," Zhou Li said:
"As for Xu Qingqing, she’s very proactive and will fully cooperate, prioritizing our arrangements naturally, so we reached out to her first."
Zhou Li brushed her hair back, "Do you have other thoughts?"
"No, this arrangement works."
"Then it’s settled. Let’s meet at the entrance tomorrow morning and we’ll head out together."
"Alright."
...
Shengxin Pharmaceutical, General Manager’s Office.
A middle-aged man in his fifties sat at the desk, with a 3-7 hairstyle.
The man’s name was Zhao Bingkun, the General Manager of Shengxin Pharmaceutical.
This company is a family business. His father was the founder, and it has now been passed down to him.
Wu Qiang sat next to him.
"They have evidence. If it goes through the normal channels, we definitely stand no chance."
"Have you contacted the person in charge privately? What did he say?" Zhao Bingkun said, his face gloomy, as he held a cigarette.
"When I returned, I called him hoping to settle this with some money, but he didn’t give me a chance, refusing to talk and determined to fight us to the end."
"Judging by their posture, that seems to be their intention."
Wu Qiang lit a cigarette in frustration, saying:
"Only one episode has been aired so far. If they are willing to compromise, there is still a chance for remedy. But if it continues, the impact on us will be significant."
Zhao Bingkun looked at the ceiling, silent for a moment.
"Did you offer too little, and they’re dissatisfied with the price?"
"I offered 500,000, but still got rejected. I think it’s no longer about the money. He seems determined to go all out against us."
Wu Qiang flicked the ash off his cigarette, "I suspect there’s something fishy going on here."
"What do you mean by fishy?" Zhao Bingkun looked at Wu Qiang and asked.
"I have a feeling our competitors might be scheming against us, otherwise why would they be unresponsive to this much money?" Wu Qiang said:
"We recently launched a fever-reducing medicine at almost the same time as Sanxi Pharmaceutical’s Reduction Spirit Granules. It’s quite possible they secretly bribed journalists to conduct investigations at this time to get at us."
Zhao Bingkun squinted, thinking this might be a possibility.
Otherwise, no one wouldn’t be tempted by 500,000 on the table.
"Do you know which journalists came to film us?"
"Yes, I found out. There’s a man named Lin Yi. The two groups we sent were both defeated by him," Wu Qiang said:
"You could say, without him, the patrol in the factory would have definitely stopped the journalists outside, and there wouldn’t have been so many issues."
"It seems he is the real culprit."
"I agree. I originally wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson, but he’s too tough. Average people can’t match him, so I didn’t dare make a move lightly."
"Better to avoid unnecessary trouble, try not to make things escalate."
Zhao Bingkun took a puff of his cigarette.
"Try to meet him again and offer him some money to act as a mediator and persuade Feng Chengrong."
"What if he refuses?"
"In that case, settle old and new scores together; hire some tough people to break his legs, make him learn a lesson."
"I know what to do."
...
That afternoon, Lin Yi was busy working but didn’t need to work overtime.
On his way home after work, Lin Yi received a call from Wu Qiang.
"Hello, Journalist, I’m Wu Qiang. I visited your office this afternoon. I think you should remember me."
"The Deputy General of Shengxin Pharmaceutical? How did you get my number?"
"That’s not important, no need to dwell on it."
Wu Qiang chuckled and said, "Do you have time now? I’d like to make friends with you, invite you for dinner, I’ll come pick you up."
"I know what you’re up to, just trying to offer me money to shut my mouth and persuade the leaders not to air the later episodes, leaving you a way out."
On the other end, Wu Qiang was silent for a few seconds, shocked at Lin Yi’s insight, being able to figure so much out.
"It’s not what you think, just want to make friends and have a meal."
"I’ve already laid it out, playing coy now is meaningless."
Lin Yi laughed, "I guess if I take your money, we both stay happy. If I don’t, you might send someone to teach me a lesson since I exposed you. Am I right?"
The other end, Wu Qiang panicked, feeling a fear of being scrutinized under a microscope.
To guess his intentions so accurately through just a call, this journalist is kind of frightening.
"Absolutely not, I genuinely have no other intentions, just want to understand the progress of this matter, to facilitate our rectification, hope you don’t misunderstand my intention."
"Really?"
"Of course, genuinely just want to have a chat and make a friend, nothing else."
"Fine, pick a place and I’ll come over later."
"Fuyang Building 308, I’ve already made the reservation."
"Alright, wait for me there."
"Okay."
After hanging up with Wu Qiang, Lin Yi dialed Mo Hongshan.
"Brother Shan, what are you up to?"
"Just finished a meeting with Mr. Yang and dropped him off, about to head to the cafeteria for some food."
"Isn’t that coincidental? Got a dinner invite, wanted to bring you along."
"I’d better pass. My status isn’t suitable for your gathering, may leave a handle," Mo Hongshan said.
"It’s not a business dinner, someone’s taking me out for a meal, worried he might make a move on me, Brother Shan, you could protect me."
"Haha, more like you’re protecting me," Mo Hongshan laughed, saying:
"But who’s so bold to dare make a move on you?"
"I exposed a pharmaceutical factory, they’re inviting me to dinner, just a Hongmen feast. Bring a few brothers along, might earn a commendation."
"No problem, where are you? I’ll come find you."
"Meet at the entrance of Fuyang Building, but don’t use your government cars, keep a low profile."
"Don’t worry, I know how to handle these sneaky fish, see you in a bit."
"Alright."
After hanging up with Mo Hongshan, Lin Yi headed towards Fuyang Building.
As for why he chose to go, Lin Yi had his own reasons.
If they dare to find him today, they’ll dare to approach Zhou Li tomorrow, and the program team members the day after.
Better to deal with them himself first, eliminating worries of retaliation.
