Before he could enter, a voice behind him said, “Are you Lin Ji?”

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, “Yes.”

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 didn’t know if this person was motivated or too stupid! If Lin Ji had minded his own business, he wouldn’t have to trouble himself to summon him.

“The chief is looking for you.”

Somehow, after hearing these words, Lin Ji’s heart sank. All he had done was send the medicine over to be tested again. He hadn’t even looked at the results before the chief started to panic. If this wasn’t a guilty conscience, what was?

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

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, “I’m sorry, has the test result of the medicine I sent this morning come out?”

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, “You should forget it. It’s 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 chief’s side.

You can’t fight them alone, can you?”

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.

“When 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 hadn’t finished the analysis quickly, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even see this report! As you think, there’s indeed something wrong with this medicine. It’s even inferior to inferior medicine. Ordinary people will definitely have problems if they take it, let alone those with slightly weaker physiques.”

The middle-aged man said earnestly, “As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out gets shot. You don’t 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 don’t you pretend that you didn’t see anything and go to work and get off work as usual? How about that?”

Unfortunately, Lin Ji’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly asked with a solemn expression, “… Will people die?”

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 Xingwei’s 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 hadn’t been suspicious, he would have been deceived!

“What are you trying to say? Do you think you’re the only one who discovered it? Do you think you can be a mute? Can’t 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!”

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, “I know, but I didn’t make any mistakes during my tenure. Even if the chief wants to find a reason to suppress me, there’s no excuse…”

“Kid, why won’t you listen to my advice?! He’s the chief. Does he need an excuse to suppress you?! Can’t he just make up something? Listen to me, let’s forget about this matter. We’re just ordinary people. We can’t beat him! Even if you have 10 lives, it won’t be enough to play with!”

The middle-aged man tried to make him change his mind, but Lin Ji shook his head and said, “I know I can’t win, but when I think about how those who don’t know the truth will worsen their conditions after taking these pills and even die, my conscience won’t rest! I can’t pretend to be deaf and mute to protect my future. I’m sorry, I can’t do it!”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “I know you’re 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 doesn’t matter what happens to me after that! Even if it’s not for those strangers, I have to think about my family. Am I really worthy of their education? I don’t think I’m anything wrong!”

With that, he turned and left.

“Aye!”

Before the middle-aged man could grab the corner of his shirt, the other party disappeared from the testing room. “Young people nowadays…”

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.



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 who’s so young?

“And this is?”

“Mr. Fang is a trusted aide of the old leader.”

After the chief briefly introduced Fang Tiancheng, he said, “I heard that you took the medicine for testing? I remember you’re a top student who graduated from Cambridge, right? It’s said that you published several papers in academic journals. I thought that smart people would go further. I didn’t expect you to be so irrational.

Let me show you the way. Pretend this never happened. I don’t mind if you continue to work here. It’s not impossible for you to be promoted in the future. Otherwise… Don’t blame me for demoting you and sending you to a sanitation station in the countryside! The environment there is quite harsh. Ordinary people can’t stand this kind of hardship!”

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, “I want to report the chief for accepting bribes!”
