From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 146 - : Pharmaceutical Factory

Chapter 146 -146: Pharmaceutical Factory

After Qiao Yi took over the Dianrui project, everything went smoothly except that Xiao Ting always looked at her coldly.

Having fully grasped Dianrui’s information, Qiao Yi planned to visit Dianrui’s factory for an on-site investigation.

This suggestion was reasonable, as the Qiao Family would send people to the factory for visits every year, and of course, Dianrui wouldn’t refuse.

However, the person in charge this time seemed quite troubled upon hearing this request.

“What’s the matter? Is there any inconvenience on the factory’s side?”

“Indeed, there has been a small accident. A few days ago, a drug storage tank in the factory had an incident, and now the whole factory is undergoing repairs, which may affect the visit and inspection…”

The words of the person in charge made Qiao Yi’s eyes light up, “The more this happens, the more we should visit. It’s the perfect time to see how the factory’s emergency system operates!”

With the conversation having reached this point, even if the person in charge disagreed, Qiao Yi would probably find other ways to visit the factory, so the responsible person reluctantly agreed.

“If that’s the case, then I will arrange a visit for your company. For timing…”

“Let’s set it for two days from now. The sooner we visit and inspect, the sooner we can start our projects!”

Qiao Yi didn’t give the person in charge a chance to argue, her smile radiant as if she was truly considering Dianrui’s circumstances.

Xiao Ting knew that Qiao Yi’s purpose was definitely not as simple as a cooperative inspection with Dianrui. From the interfacing process over the past few days, Xiao Ting could feel that Qiao Yi was being overly critical.

It could even be said that she was intentionally looking for faults with Dianrui.

After sending away Dianrui’s personnel, Xiao Ting blocked Qiao Yi’s path.

“As a partner, I think I should have the right to know the purpose of what you’ve been doing these days.”

Qiao Yi originally had no intention of keeping Xiao Ting in the dark, but since Lu Yanchuan hadn’t spoken about it, she didn’t take the initiative to reveal the truth to Xiao Ting.

Now that Xiao Ting had asked, she was of course free to speak her mind.

“There’s a problem with Dianrui Pharmaceutical. Yanchuan and I suspect that the dosages of Dianrui Pharmaceutical’s drugs are imbalanced, and there are also some issues with Dianrui’s shareholder accounts. I am here to investigate their factory.”

Qiao Yi said this openly, but Xiao Ting had a hard time grasping the implications of Qiao Yi’s words.

“Problems with Dianrui?”

Qiao Yi nodded, walking back with Xiao Ting while sharing the parts that she could tell Xiao Ting.

“We suspect that Dianrui’s psychotropic drugs may be leaking outside, and there’s even a possibility that Dianrui is using these banned substances to make a fortune!”

Although these were just speculations, they were very plausible, and Xiao Ting was already halfway convinced.

“But even if they have banned drugs, they wouldn’t appear in the factory. Besides, many psychotropic drugs contain banned components by nature, and as long as the dosage is correct, there wouldn’t be problems. It’s completely normal for a pharmaceutical plant to have them.”

“You also mentioned proper dosage. We are going to see if their dosages are indeed correct.”

Qiao Yi deliberately suggested such a tight schedule and showed a strong desire to sign a contract with Dianrui to give the impression that her factory visit was just a formality, to let them lower their guard.

With such large-scale pharmaceutical equipment, even if the factory intended to tamper with anything, it would need an opportunity to do so.

The day for inspecting the factory was set for the morning two days later, with the factory’s person in charge taking Qiao Yi and Xiao Ting for a tour.

According to Xiao Ting’s suggestion, such a risky action should involve bringing more people, but Qiao Yi, fearing to startle the quarry, didn’t want to bring extra people.

Actually, if Qiao Yi had it her way, she would have gone in alone; even Xiao Ting didn’t need to follow.

Upon entering the factory, they were met with a strong smell of disinfectant, which Qiao Yi didn’t like, frowning deeply.

“This is the layout of our pharmaceutical equipment. Since it’s a production line, everything is a sterile environment, and we can only do the tour from outside.”

Inside the factory, everything was pristine white. After a few turns, the group entered the world of machinery.

Various colors of medicinal liquids and powders tumbled inside the pharmaceutical machines, and as the conveyor belt machinery operated, boxes of pills gradually took shape.

“Each area here uses dedicated production equipment for a specific drug. What we are seeing now is the production line for Dianrui’s newly released antidepressant.”

The person in charge explained while leading Qiao Yi and another person on the tour.

Xiao Ting was always serious, but it was Qiao Yi who was looking around and asking questions, like a naive girl fascinated by interesting things she saw.

Before long, someone came to find the person in charge, reporting that the drug storage tank that had the accident still couldn’t operate normally.

“This…”

“If Master Sun is busy, just go ahead with your work. We’ll just look around here.”

Qiao Yi watched intently as the pills were transported by the conveyor belt, completely ignoring whether the person in charge was there or not.

The person in charge was not fully reassured about leaving the two of them alone, but seeing Qiao Yi enjoying the sight of the production line, he could only leave temporarily.

Only after confirming that the person in charge was far enough away did Qiao Yi follow the conveyor belt and slowly walk forward with Xiao Ting.

If that person hadn’t come to call away the person in charge, Qiao Yi had planned to find an excuse to send them away so that she could thoroughly investigate the factory.

There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the factory, so Qiao Yi had to pretend to be intrigued, touching and looking around, making sure that the necklace around her neck was aimed at the labels.

Indeed, before entering the factory, Qiao Yi had equipped the jewelry on her neck and wrists with miniature cameras, and the entire journey they had walked was recorded by Qiao Yi.

Although Qiao Yi seemed to be wandering aimlessly, she was actually slowly approaching an area not marked on the large hall map.

Just as they were about to reach the equipment in that area, a figure in a white lab coat appeared around the corner, nearly discovering Qiao Yi and Xiao Ting.

Qiao Yi noticed that not only was this area not marked on the map, but there were also no cameras installed, and instead, there were noticeably more personnel.

Such tight security meant there must be a secret hidden here! It looked like she had found the right place!

“Stay close to me. If anything happens, don’t worry about me, just run out and get help from Lu Yanchuan!”

Xiao Ting nodded and agreed. In this place, if she dared to disagree with Qiao Yi, she would be asking for trouble!

Qiao Yi looked around and cautiously proceeded inward.

“Just this one drug tank, I’ve said it many times, there should be people on watch even at night! Do you all take my words as a joke?”

They could still hear the chastising voice of the person in charge from afar. Qiao Yi carefully avoided that direction and focused on recording the names and information on the various drug tanks.

The further in she went, the darker Qiao Yi’s expression became.

These… were all banned drugs! Dianrui was definitely finished this time!
