Chapter 377 Mayor Qin, Something's Happened
When Tian Zhenzhen returned to the hotel, she had just sat down on the sofa and hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when Tian Daqiang's tall figure appeared at the door and then strode towards her.
"How's the investigation going?" Tian Zhenzhen looked up and asked about the results.
"The investigation has been completed; those two people were working for Shengtai Pharmaceutical."
The name Tian Zhenzhen from Shengtai Pharmaceutical is not only familiar to me, but also very familiar to me.
Speaking of Shengtai Pharmaceutical, it is a well-known star enterprise in Yueyang City and can be called the mainstay of the local economy.
Its development history is legendary, growing from a small pharmaceutical workshop into an industry giant.
Its pharmaceutical production covers a wide range of fields, from common cold medicines to treatments for various chronic diseases, as well as a variety of special drugs.
Those health products that are familiar to ordinary people occupy half of the market.
Even among the gifts that Tian Zhenzhen gave to Jiang Xue's parents today, there were star health products from this company.
With its exquisite packaging and superior quality, it is highly favored locally.
Could it be that Shengtai Pharmaceuticals has its eye on the medicine she has? A sense of doubt welled up in Tian Zhenzhen's heart.
Despite its seemingly insignificant location in Yueyang, a small city, Shengtai Pharmaceutical's factory ranks among the top in the industry in terms of annual output and corporate ranking.
In the fiercely competitive pharmaceutical industry, it is a major brand that has firmly established itself among the top five in China. With its excellent quality and strong marketing, its brand awareness has spread throughout the country.
Its sales network is extensive, and its products can be found in both bustling first-tier cities and remote small towns.
Especially in Hunan Province, giving health products from Shengtai Pharmaceutical as gifts has become a common practice among local people and is integrated into their daily lives.
Tian Zhenzhen also grew up listening to Shengtai Pharmaceutical's advertisements. Those catchy slogans still resonate in her memory, which shows its profound influence in the industry.
"It seems that good things are easily coveted."
Go and give the boss of Shengtai Pharmaceutical a 'big gift' to make it clear that they can't interfere in everything.
Tian Zhenzhen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident yet slightly sly smile.
However, Tian Zhenzhen was not very interested in dealing with Shengtai Pharmaceutical.
In her mind, no matter how powerful Shengtai Pharmaceutical was, it was just a star industry in Yue City.
No matter how famous it is in Yueyang, it can't compare to Chuangshengyuan.
It poses little threat to the source of the new life; it's likely that they coveted it after learning about the effects of the new life potion.
At this moment, Xiaomei came over and reported to Tian Zhenzhen: "Boss, the doctor you asked me to bring back is missing. His colleagues said that Dr. Zhou hasn't shown up since he got off work last night, and he's not at home either."
His family said he was sent out for an exchange program by the hospital, but our investigation revealed that the hospital has not arranged any exchanges with other hospitals recently. There's definitely something fishy going on here.
Hearing Xiaomei's words, Tian Zhenzhen originally thought that Shengtai Pharmaceutical was the one behind this, but it seems that she had underestimated the situation.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of wariness and contemplation.
She hurriedly instructed Tian Daqiang, who had not yet left, "When you go to warn them, find out if there are any other people instigating them."
Tian Zhenzhen had a gut feeling that things behind this weren't so simple.
After receiving the order, Tian Daqiang strode away and quickly disappeared at the end of the hotel corridor.
Inside an administrative office building in the city, Qin Shixian was intently processing a mountain of documents, his focused expression revealing a resolute demeanor.
Mayor Qin was in charge of the economy, and since he came to Yue City, the city's economy has achieved a leapfrog and significant growth.
This is due to his keen economic insight and outstanding leadership skills, as well as the strong network and resource support from the Qin family behind him.
This is his third year in office in Yueyang. During these three years, he has devoted himself to the development of Yueyang, formulated a series of practical economic policies, and introduced many high-quality projects.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yue City's development achievements will be a significant highlight of his resume, adding a dazzling halo to his political career.
Once he returns to Beijing, he will be able to rise to a higher position based on his outstanding political achievements.
After all, coming to Yueyang City was a "gilding" trip for Qin Shixian to accumulate political capital; he had even greater ambitions and ideals in his heart.
Just as Qin Shixian was busy, there was a knock on the door.
Without even raising his head, he calmly replied, "Go in."
His voice, like his personality, exudes composure and restraint, yet subtly conveys an unquestionable authority, compelling people to obey his commands.
The voice seemed to possess a magical power, capable of instantly calming the mind while simultaneously conveying a sense of underlying pressure.
The person who came in was Qin Shixian's secretary, who had been with him for many years.
"Mayor Qin, Wu Kangping from Shengtai Pharmaceutical called and said he has something extremely important to discuss with you in person. He is waiting outside the door now."
The secretary's respectful and cautious voice broke the silence in the office.
"Why is he here? Let him in."
Upon hearing Wu Kangping's name, Qin Shixian finally looked up from the pile of official documents.
He put down his pen, slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and felt the steam rise and the aroma of tea fill the air.
His movements were graceful and calm, as if everything was under his control.
Just then, the secretary led Wu Kangping in.
"Mayor Qin, something terrible has happened!"
Wu Kangping is a middle-aged man in his forties who is constantly socializing and has become slightly overweight.
On this cold winter day, he was sweating profusely, beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto his expensive suit.
His eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, and his steps were hurried, completely devoid of his usual composure and confidence.
"What happened? You look so flustered."
Mayor Qin remained completely calm despite Wu Kangping's impatience. His composed demeanor and calm tone were like a still lake, without a single ripple.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see through everything, making people dare not hide anything from him.
This calm demeanor seemed to possess a magical power, gradually calming down the emotionally agitated Wu Kangping.
Wu Kangping then recounted everything that had happened that day.
It turned out that when he returned from his lunch break, he found an extra document on his desk. At first, he thought it was prepared by his subordinates, but when he opened it, he was almost scared out of his wits.
The documents contain irrefutable evidence of Shengtai Pharmaceutical's illegal and criminal activities.
These pieces of evidence are like a bombshell; once detonated, they will surely plunge Shengtai Pharmaceutical into utter ruin.
It is well known that the pharmaceutical industry has always been a hotbed of corruption.
This industry has huge profit margins, and driven by profit, all sorts of illegitimate means have emerged.
In the race for market share and profits, kickbacks are no secret.
Take getting medicines into public hospitals as an example; it requires going through several complex and cumbersome steps.
The first step is centralized procurement through the provincial bidding platform. This process involves relevant government agencies and bidding experts, so establishing connections is essential.
In this process, the interests of all parties are intertwined, and underhanded dealings often occur.
To win bids, companies spare no effort in using all kinds of resources, and even resort to bribery to gain an advantage.
Secondly, even after winning a bid in the provincial centralized procurement platform, there are still many hurdles to overcome before drugs can actually enter hospitals.
Every aspect of the hospital needs to be carefully managed; the slightest mistake can ruin everything.
If a department head wants to use a new drug, they must first submit a drug application to the hospital. The pharmacy department will review the application, the vice president in charge will approve it, and then the hospital's pharmacy committee, composed of several senior experts including clinical pharmacists, will discuss and approve the drug before it can be purchased and used by the department.
Each of these steps requires smoothing things over, and each link can become a breeding ground for corruption.
Doctors receive kickbacks for each box of medicine they prescribe each month; this has become an open secret in the industry.
This evidence was extremely detailed, with the time, the name of the briber, and the amount of the bribe all clearly recorded, like a detailed criminal record book.
One particular cancer treatment drug is not only expensive, but also causes some people to experience rejection symptoms after taking it.
Driven by huge profits, these few people who exhibited rejection were not taken seriously at all, and were subsequently "dealt with" cleanly, and have not been exposed to this day.
But now, these documents clearly state that even the victims' information is fully recorded.
If these documents are leaked, Shengtai Pharmaceutical will definitely be in trouble. Its reputation and wealth accumulated over the years will vanish instantly, and it will suffer a severe blow, even facing the risk of bankruptcy.
