Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 149
For several days, Lu Lingxi’s life was very peaceful, and the Lu family that Wang Shuxiu was worried about finding Kunnan did not happen. In fact, it wasn’t that Lu Hengchuan didn’t want to bypass Wang Shuxiu and contact Lu Lingxi directly, but he was held back by the matter in Zhongjing.
Three days ago, the major newspapers in Beijing and Beijing suddenly broke out that the new drug that Hepu was going to put into production was only a semi-finished product and did not meet the standards for the production of new drugs in Huaguo. This news was accompanied by a real-name drug researcher from Hepu who reported to the Food and Drug Administration that Sun Li had taken bribes, and passed the marketing application for the new drug, knowing that the new drug was substandard.
As soon as these two news came out, the entire Zhongjing was in an uproar. Before Hepu could react and start crisis public relations, Sun Li had been suspended for investigation, and the Lu family, who used to have a close relationship with Sun Li, began to enter the public’s attention. Compared with Hepu’s new drugs that have not yet been launched, the Lu family started with health products and medicines. Who knows how many of these drugs launched by the Lu family are like Hepu’s new drugs, and have obtained drug qualifications that should not have been obtained.
Some of Yu Yanyue’s arrangements were due to the Ye family’s revenge, and some were due to other pharmaceutical companies trying to fish in troubled waters, trying to take the opportunity to bring down the Lu family.
Media, Internet, newspapers… In just three days, the Hepu incident fermented into a huge storm in various reports, sweeping Hepu, the Food and Drug Administration, The three giants of the Lu family have pushed the three to the brink of trust bankruptcy.
“Now the reputation of the Lu family is damaged, someone must take this responsibility.”
In the Lu family’s mansion, Lu Hengchuan’s eldest son, Lu Chengwen, looked at Lu Wei’an, who was standing on the side, and pointed. If it wasn’t for Lu Wei’an connecting the girl from the Yin family, the Lu family wouldn’t be in the current situation.
As Lu Chengwen finished speaking, several other people in the hall nodded. They all heard what Lu Chengwen meant, and it was obvious that they wanted to use Lu Weian.
Speaking of which, people in the Lu family don’t really like Lu Wei’an very much. It used to be okay, they saw Lu Wei’an as sick and pitiful. Although it is a bit unkind to imprison Lu Lingxi at home, there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, and the responsibility cannot be placed on Lu Weian’s head. But when Lu Lingxi died last year, it would be a little strange for them to look at Lu Wei’an again. In addition, Lu Weian jumped up and down to intervene in the Lu family’s business, which made the rest of the Lu family even more dissatisfied. If it wasn’t for Lu Weian to catch up with Hepu later, they guessed the old man’s mind, and they would have joined forces to run Lu Weian out. Now that something has happened, no matter how you have to find someone to take the blame, Lu Weian is simply the best candidate.
Although Hepu’s new drug was his lead, the Lu family were optimistic about the future of the new drug and wanted to get a share of it. As soon as something happened, I jumped out in a hurry to clear the responsibility. He didn’t believe that the people present couldn’t see that someone deliberately targeted the Lu family this time, otherwise, the focus of public opinion would not be entirely on the Lu family’s head for what Hepu provoked. Lu Weian glanced at Lu Hengchuan vaguely, paying more attention to his grandfather’s reaction than the uncle’s anger. But what disappointed him was that his grandfather had his eyes down and expressionless, and he couldn’t guess his grandfather’s mind at all.
“Weian, what do you say?” Seeing that Lu Weian didn’t speak, Lu Chengwen simply asked.
Lu Weian gritted his teeth and whispered: “It was my misjudgment that affected the reputation of the family, and I will take the responsibility.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chengwen’s eyes lit up and he was about to speak, but Lu Hengchuan, who had been silent, coughed, attracting everyone’s attention. Lu Weian looked expectantly, Lu Hengchuan glanced at Lu Weian lightly, and said in a dignified tone: “Since Weian has admitted his mistake, the investigation on Hepu’s bribery will be up to Weian. You can do other things, boss. Deal with it and try to suppress the impact of this incident.”
Lu Hengchuan said this obviously to prepare to give up Lu Weian. Now regarding the investigation of Sun Li’s bribery, the whistleblower’s words conclusively stated that the people from the Lu family were the ones who led the way, and they had relevant evidence in their hands. Although the Lu family launched a Lu Wei’an and a discerning person may not believe it, it is an explanation to the outside world.
After listening to Lu Hengchuan’s words, Lu Chengwen quickly agreed. The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Lu Weian’s face, Lu Weian clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves tightly, and smiled at Lu Hengchuan reluctantly, “I see, grandfather.”
With the eyes of everyone in the hall, Lu Wei’an didn’t know how he got out of the Lu family mansion. He glanced back and saw that the weather was fine today, with the rare sky high and cloudless without a trace of smog, but he felt that the entire Lu family was shrouded in shadows.
Lu Weian sneered lowly. He knew that the uncle and the others didn’t like him, but he thought he was too cold-blooded and ruthless, and sacrificed Lu Lingxi for his own life. But did he think he had leukemia? If it weren’t for premature birth, how could he have been in poor health since childhood, and leukemia was detected after a cold? He watched others jumping around, while he could only lie on the hospital bed. Who knows the pain of these years? He is obviously not as good as death, but he has to survive because of his mother’s obsession. Is this also his fault?
Lu Lingxi… Lu Wei’an closed his eyes and put the name out of his mind. A child who was not even born by his mother, even if he had the blood of the Lu family in his body, no one would admit that he was the Lu family when he was alive. Now that he is dead, all kinds of people who have nothing to do with him have jumped out, accusing him of being cold-blooded and selfish without family affection. Really TMD ridiculous, a bunch of hypocritical villains. Why didn’t Lu Lingxi see them when he was alive, just because Lu Lingxi died, he survived, all the sins belonged to him, he should live in the shadow of Lu Lingxi all his life, why!
Lu Weian opened his eyes and clenched his fists bitterly.
These undercurrents of the Lu family were not known to Lu Lingxi in Kunnan, but Wang Shuxiu hadn’t seen Lu Hengchuan for several days, and it was only after reading the news that she knew that something had happened to the Lu family. She faintly felt strange, how could it be so coincidental? Lu Hengchuan had just troubled her when something happened to the Lu family in Zhongjing?
She told Xiao Feng of her suspicion, “Didn’t Yan Yue do something?”
Xiao Feng was also not sure, and said, “This matter is so big, it shouldn’t be done in a while. Yan Yue knows that Lu Hengchuan has only been around for a few days, so it probably has nothing to do with him. Yan Yue did it, and it’s not a bad thing. Look at these immoral things that the Lu family did, someone should take care of them.”
“Yes.” Wang Shuxiu said bitterly. When she thought of Lu Hengchuan coming to the door and saying that Xiaoxi should recognize her ancestors and return to the ancestry, her teeth itch with anger.
The two talked for a long time, and Wang Shuxiu remembered one more thing, “Do you want to tell Xiaoxi about the Lu family? Now the Lu family should not be able to look for Xiaoxi?” After all, She still didn’t want Lu Lingxi to know this. She felt that it would be good that Lu Lingxi didn’t know anything like now.
“Tell Xiaoxi.” Xiao Feng persuaded: “If the Lu family doesn’t give up, let Xiaoxi prepare in advance.”
Wang Shuxiu sighed, knowing that what Xiao Feng said made sense, not afraid of ten thousand just in case.
