Before he could enter, a voice behind him said, âAre you Lin Ji?â
Lin ji was shocked by the sudden movement! His pupils constricted. Then he turned around and saw the director of the Secretariat.?Why is he looking for me? I have not been discovered, right??He cleared his throat and said, âYes.â
The director sized him up a few times, and a trace of contempt quickly flashed across his eyes.?An ordinary staff member trying to stop me??He didnât know if this person was motivated or too stupid! If Lin Ji had minded his own business, he wouldnât have to trouble himself to summon him.
âThe chief is looking for you.â
Somehow, after hearing these words, Lin Jiâs heart sank. All he had done was send the medicine over to be tested again. He hadnât even looked at the results before the chief started to panic. If this wasnât a guilty conscience, what was?
âOkay, Iâll be right there.â
After receiving his affirmative answer, the director left without looking back. As for Lin Ji, he stood there for a long time. He watched the person walk further and further away, and his expression darkened for a moment. Then he took a deep breath, walked into the testing department, and said, âIâm sorry, has the test result of the medicine I sent this morning come out?â
When the middle-aged man with the reading glasses saw him, he handed him a report that was in the drawer. He sighed faintly and said, âYou should forget it. Itâs not a good thing to offend the chief. Do you want to stop here for the rest of your life? This medicine had to go through many checkpoints in order to get clearance, and the people at these checkpoints are on the chiefâs side.
You canât fight them alone, can you?â
He could guess the purpose of this newcomer. He was young and impetuous, and he rushed forward without caring about the consequences. The consequences of this would definitely make Lin Ji regret it for the rest of his life. He did not want the seedling that represented hope to be killed in the soil. After all, the person in front of him had a rather outstanding resume, so he tried to advise him.
âWhen you asked me to test the composition of this medicine, the chief immediately knew about it and quickly sent someone to snatch the preventive medicine away. If I hadnât finished the analysis quickly, Iâm afraid you wouldnât even see this report! As you think, thereâs indeed something wrong with this medicine. Itâs even inferior to inferior medicine. Ordinary people will definitely have problems if they take it, let alone those with slightly weaker physiques.â
The middle-aged man said earnestly, âAs the saying goes, the bird that sticks out gets shot. You donât have any power or influence, so how can you fight with others? Your future is bright, so why do you have to end your own life over such a small matter? Why donât you pretend that you didnât see anything and go to work and get off work as usual? How about that?â
Unfortunately, Lin Jiâs eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly asked with a solemn expression, â⦠Will people die?â
......n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He knew very well that he had put in a lot of effort to come here to work. When he found out that he had been hired, he was so happy that he could not sleep. As a result, he was almost late for his first day of work. He cherished his current job, but in the face of morality, he could not sit back and do nothing! Especially when there was not a single item in this report that passed the lab test.
From this, one could tell how problematic Xingweiâs medicine was!
Are they f*cking making medicine or pastries? This is fake stuff! Is it really good to disregard human lives for the sake of benefits??He thought that the benevolence of a doctor applied to everyone in this circle. Now it seemed that he had been too naive about the human heart. If he hadnât been suspicious, he would have been deceived!
âWhat are you trying to say? Do you think youâre the only one who discovered it? Do you think you can be a mute? Canât you learn from them and pretend that nothing happened? Do you know how tragic your outcome will be? You might not be promoted for the rest of your life! You might even lose your job!â
The middle-aged man said in disappointment. The two of them usually interacted a lot. He treated this young man as his junior. It would be a pity if he died just like that.
Lin Ji smiled and said, âI know, but I didnât make any mistakes during my tenure. Even if the chief wants to find a reason to suppress me, thereâs no excuseâ¦â
âKid, why wonât you listen to my advice?! Heâs the chief. Does he need an excuse to suppress you?! Canât he just make up something? Listen to me, letâs forget about this matter. Weâre just ordinary people. We canât beat him! Even if you have 10 lives, it wonât be enough to play with!â
The middle-aged man tried to make him change his mind, but Lin Ji shook his head and said, âI know I canât win, but when I think about how those who donât know the truth will worsen their conditions after taking these pills and even die, my conscience wonât rest! I canât pretend to be deaf and mute to protect my future. Iâm sorry, I canât do it!â
He paused for a moment before continuing, âI know youâre doing this for my own good, but I have to ask the chief. It would be even better if I could persuade him to stop the release of this medicine. It doesnât matter what happens to me after that! Even if itâs not for those strangers, I have to think about my family. Am I really worthy of their education? I donât think Iâm anything wrong!â
With that, he turned and left.
âAye!â
Before the middle-aged man could grab the corner of his shirt, the other party disappeared from the testing room. âYoung people nowadaysâ¦â
He shook his head helplessly. What that child said just now almost made his blood boil. Sigh, half of his body was almost buried in the ground. He could not compare to these young people! With someone like Lin Ji around, the country would definitely become better in the future, right? But it would probably be difficult dealing with the chief.
â¦
On the other side, in the office.
Lin Ji knocked three times. After receiving permission, he straightened his back and walked in. However, he was the first to see that the person sitting at the head of the table was a stranger. As for the director, he was leaning against the back of the sofa awkwardly.?Can he be someone important for the director to treat him like this??Lin Ji wondered.?But is there any big shot whoâs so young?
âAnd this is?â
âMr. Fang is a trusted aide of the old leader.â
After the chief briefly introduced Fang Tiancheng, he said, âI heard that you took the medicine for testing? I remember youâre a top student who graduated from Cambridge, right? Itâs said that you published several papers in academic journals. I thought that smart people would go further. I didnât expect you to be so irrational.
Let me show you the way. Pretend this never happened. I donât mind if you continue to work here. Itâs not impossible for you to be promoted in the future. Otherwise⦠Donât blame me for demoting you and sending you to a sanitation station in the countryside! The environment there is quite harsh. Ordinary people canât stand this kind of hardship!â
Are you starting to threaten me??Li Ji thought.
Lin ji looked at the chief and then at the expressionless Fang Tiancheng. He gritted his teeth and took three steps forward. He slapped the report down on the table and said, âI want to report the chief for accepting bribes!â
