Song Qiao and Gao Meng slowly walked down the hospital stairs.
Gao Meng was still annoyed, spitting softly, her eyes filled with resentment. She flexed her wrists, wishing she could go back and slap Director Zhang again. If Song Qiao hadn't held her back and kept her calm, that old man surnamed Zhang would have been torn to shreds by her by now. The gap between a martial artist and an ordinary person was as vast as the divide between heaven and earth.
"This shameless old man, I will definitely make him pay the price."
As she thought this, she noticed Song Qiao looking at her, and guessed he was thinking about something strange again. However, after being harassed by that old man several times today, Gao Meng truly couldn't stand his attitude.
"Don't look! Don't make yourself like those annoying guys."
Gao Meng actually had some good feelings for Song Qiao. "Honestly, sometimes I wish my appearance was like an ordinary person's, so some people wouldn't take an interest in me." As she spoke, Gao Meng lowered her head, her expression so melancholic. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became about today's events.
"Today wasn't your fault," Song Qiao said, shaking his head and smiling. "And didn't you notice?" "Today, you were acting like a proper secretary." "What, have you finally couldn't contain your inner desire to truly become my secretary?"
"Hmph, who's your secretary?" Gao Meng muttered softly. "I just genuinely dislike him. Besides, being your friend is better than being your secretary."
Song Qiao smiled and didn't say much more. Gao Meng's mood seemed to gradually improve, and she rested her hands behind her head, lost in thought.
"This is utterly unreasonable. Is Director Zhang always like this? How many ordinary people does he harm? He can't even be dealt with by the authorities, this is truly going too far."
"Yes, his reaction today did surprise me a bit." Song Qiao had initially thought that with his company's resources, dealing with this man would be easy. He hadn't expected Director Zhang to be so obstinate, hard and soft both refusing, and to have them thrown out. This made Song Qiao suspect there was some conspiracy behind it.
"It's actually quite simple," Song Qiao's steps suddenly stopped. He turned back to look at the sealed office, his expression grave. "Since the other party is unwilling to communicate with us, someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes."
"What?" Hearing this, Gao Meng grew even angrier. "Who would instruct him to do this?"
"I'm not sure yet... but don't worry," Song Qiao said, shaking his head. At least everything was still within his control for now. "I will investigate." "The person behind them is definitely our enemy. It will be easy to find out by following this lead." "Once I discover who it is, I'll go teach him a lesson." Song Qiao would certainly not let this hidden enemy get away with it. Especially since that person had bullied Gao Meng.
Upon hearing this, Gao Meng finally felt relieved. With Song Qiao here, the person behind it would surely face retribution.
"Also, you actually look even cuter when you're angry," Song Qiao then turned his head, a slight smile on his lips. "Forget that old guy, even I find myself quite captivated."
"...You're a scoundrel too. Do you want to be like him!" Hearing this, Gao Meng playfully pushed him, but her face was already flushed red. This guy was becoming more and more presumptuous.
"Haha, of course, you're also very cute when you're shy," Song Qiao said, his expression joyful. He even stretched leisurely. Having such a secretary and friend by his side was truly a pleasure to behold. "Let's go back first. We don't need to think about these annoying things." "If not this People's Hospital, there are other hospitals we can go to."
"Mhm, mhm!" Gao Meng immediately nodded, and they got into the car together.
As the two drove back to the company, they saw their sales manager with a face full of worry. Seeing them arrive, he seemed relieved and immediately rushed forward.
"President Song, something seems wrong."
"What's going on?" Seeing the other's expression, a hint of seriousness appeared on Song Qiao's face. Logically, even if People's Hospital didn't accept their medication, other hospitals shouldn't have so many problems. Their newly established pharmaceutical company had high quality.
"What happened? Tell me in detail," Song Qiao said calmly, pulling up a chair in his office and sitting down.
"It's like this... Those pharmaceutical companies, I don't know from where, learned that we couldn't reach a cooperation with People's Hospital." Seeing that Song Qiao wasn't angry, the sales manager seemed relieved. He cautiously sat opposite and reviewed the current situation with Song Qiao.
"Therefore, they have all refused to cooperate with us." After all, People's Hospital was the largest public hospital in the city, and it also had official backing. Their excuse was very reasonable, and they could completely use People's Hospital as their benchmark.
However, Song Qiao also smelled a conspiracy. All the hospitals acting in the same way, this was too much of a coincidence!
"Someone must be directing this from behind," Song Qiao said, tapping the table lightly, his eyes chilling. "Have you found any unusual activity?"
Gao Meng, standing beside them, was both confused and angry. "Could it be that fellow surnamed Zhang causing this!" From the very beginning, Director Zhang had been targeting them. It was perfectly normal for him to use his reputation now to create such a situation.
"No, I don't think so," Song Qiao shook his head. "There's no benefit for him in this. And Director Zhang doesn't have that much power to influence so many hospitals." "So there's only one possibility: the person behind Director Zhang has immense power and used this opportunity to influence their judgment." The only solution now was to investigate who this person behind Director Zhang was.
"I've investigated this aspect as well," the door was pushed open with a bang, and Ye Ziwei walked in, her long legs striding. After surveying the room, she spoke in a deep voice. "Director Zhang collaborated with a company called Sunshine Pharmaceutical and was actively promoting their drugs. And all the hospitals that refused us are also partners with Sunshine Pharmaceutical."
"Sunshine Pharmaceutical?" Song Qiao frowned and stood up from his chair with a jerk. He took the documents from Ye Ziwei and flipped through them one by one. Soon, he looked up and sighed, saying slowly, "It should be them."
"Sunshine Pharmaceutical? We're a newly established pharmaceutical company... We don't have any conflict with them, do we?" Gao Meng frowned. The other party was the mastermind behind her predicament today, and a sense of dissatisfaction arose in her heart.
Song Qiao entered the documents into the computer, then clicked on the profile picture of Sunshine Pharmaceutical's representative. A familiar figure appeared. "It's Cui Haoze."
