Chapter 41: A Date!
Seeing Lin Qingyuan still looking bewildered, with an expectant expression like a diligent student eagerly waiting for Qin Luo to continue explaining.
Perhaps Lin Qingyuan's medical skills are very impressive. However, when it comes to intrigue and power struggles, he is simply not up to par. No wonder Ma Youcai, as a deputy director, can stir up trouble in the hospital and have more say than him.
Qin Luo pulled Lin Qingyuan into the house and then handed him a disposable packaging bag, asking: "Do you see? What is this?"
"Kang Ao's instrument packaging bag. How could I possibly not recognize it." Lin Qingyuan said with a smile.
"What about this one?" Qin Luo handed those medical instruments to Lin Qingyuan and asked.
"Is this not Kornos' instrument?"
Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, saying: "If it's Kang Ao's instrument, they should have been sealed when imported. Do you still need to run back to the country for re-packaging?"
"So you're saying someone faked it?" Lin Qingyuan finally understood what Qin Luo wanted to tell him.
"Yes. However, there's another term for that: OEM." Qin Luo said with a smile.
Counterfeit cases are endless in China, some people imitate Dior's clothing styles and sell them with fake labels, some imitate Converse's canvas shoes and then discount them, and others counterfeit electrical appliances, mobile phones, etc.
What's even more exaggerated is that people can also be labeled, haven't you seen the news media report a few days ago about a certain official's daughter pretending to be a female student to attend university?
Qin Luo put a set of infusion tubes into the packaging bag of Kangaos and said, "They did not obtain authorization from Kangaos, but purchased Kangaos' packaging bags on their own and then counterfeited the packaging. They sold inferior products as high-quality ones to major hospitals and clinics."
Lin Qingyuan held a large pile of instruments in his hand and asked: "Where did you find this thing?"
"Wang Hao's factory," Qin Luo said.
"Who is Wang Hao?" Lin Qingyuan had no contact with Wang Hao and naturally did not understand his identity.
"A medical device distributor."
"This kind of thing is everywhere, I'm already used to it. What does it have to do with who's the head of the hospital?"
Qin Luo smiled and added: "Of course, he has another identity. Ma Youcai's friend. Or partner."
"What does he have to do with Ma?" Lin Qingyuan's face was full of surprise.
"Yes, I've seen them coming out of the hotel together before." Qin Luo smiled and nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, the procurement rights for medical equipment at Zhongyi Hospital are in Ma Youcai's hands, right?"
Lin Qingyuan nodded and said, "Yes. The heads of each department select the drugs to be purchased based on the feedback from doctors. Then the heads of each department will have Ma Youcai sign for it."
Qin Luo nodded. The life and death of the pharmaceutical factory were in the hands of doctors and department directors, which was also why medical sales representatives were willing to give such high rebates to doctors and some main responsible persons.
"I think the medical equipment used in Zhongyi Hospital is this kind," Qin Luo said directly.
"What? How dare they?"
"With such a huge profit, what are they afraid of?" Qin Luo smiled and asked back.
"What about... those children's infection cases?" Lin Qingyuan's face changed drastically, his voice trembling as he spoke.
"Yes. Newborns have very weak resistance. If they use these medical devices on infants, it's normal to get infected. The things they do are not hygienic, and the disinfection standards are not up to par. Moreover, some of them simply purchase discarded medical waste from abroad and reprocess it."
Crack!
Lin Qingyuan furrowed his brow in anger, squeezing the intravenous tube in his hand with a crackling sound. He shouted loudly: "Is there no medical ethics? Is there no humanity? On a matter of life and death, why did they do this? Why? They almost ruined the Chinese hospital."
Qin Luo was also bitter, a person who almost ruined the hospital for his own greed was about to be appointed as the president of the hospital. It's an extreme irony.
"I'm going to report them." Lin Qingyuan said indignantly. "I can't let them harm people like this anymore."
Qin Luo intercepted Lin Qingyuan, who was furious, and said: "If you go to report like this, it will only scare the snake. By the time the people above decide to investigate and deal with it, Wang Hao will have handled everything. Nothing can be investigated."
"What are we going to do now? Are we just going to let them continue to harm patients like this? Who knows if that terrifying infection incident will happen again?" Lin Qingyuan said angrily.
"It won't work naturally." Qin Luo said. "However, we must first clarify how Wang Hao and Ma Youcai cooperated. If we find evidence of their cooperation, how can we let Ma Youcai accept legal sanctions? He is still the president of the hospital, just change to cooperate with another equipment company later."
"Qin Luo, what should we do then?" Lin Qingyuan also felt that Qin Luo was right and had no choice but to seek his help.
"We need to do two things at the same time. First, expose Wang Hao's factory. Second, find evidence of Wang Hao and Ma Youcai's collaboration. However, the second thing must be resolved before the first one is completed. Leave finding the evidence to me."
"Alas. I'm counting on you then." Lin Qingyuan said with a heavy expression. "Living to my age, there are some things that I increasingly don't understand."
"Wicked people will eventually get their retribution. It's just a matter of time." Qin Luo comforted him by saying.
Qin Luo originally thought that he had found evidence of Ma Youcai's illegal behavior, which might improve Lin Qingyuan's mood. After all, with this in hand, he could pull him down from the position of hospital director.
However, Lin Qingyuan's mood did not improve. Instead, he began to worry about how many more patients would be harmed by the medical waste before they were caught. He even had no appetite for lunch and hastily stuffed half a bowl of white rice before going upstairs to rest.
"What a narrow-minded old man." Qin Luo thought to himself as he watched Lin Qingyuan go upstairs.
But this also made Qin Luo even more admire his character.
It is people like them who can represent the spirit of China.
Not those corrupt officials who are greedy for money and power, not those businessmen who only care about making a profit, nor those unscrupulous small vendors who would do anything to make a buck, including selling gutter oil, stinky tofu and other disgusting things.
Although he agreed to Old Man Lin's request and tried to get things done as soon as possible, Qin Luo still encountered a difficult problem.
Where did he go to find evidence of Wang Hao and Ma Youcai's collaboration? Perhaps, from the economic income aspect, it can be investigated.
But he is just a commoner, an electric white who doesn't even know how to turn on and off the computer, where can he go to check people's income?
Can only ask people for help. Qin Luo thought.
Who are you looking for?
It's a good choice to hear from others. To be honest, if Qin Luo speaks up, with the influence and status of the Wen family, solving this problem is as easy as turning over one's hand.
But what kind of name should I use to ask for help?
Just rejected someone's daughter and now ran to ask for help. Qin Luo really can't do this kind of thing.
"Right. Wang Jiuyi." Qin Luo thought to himself. With Wang Jiuyi's incredibly powerful background, if she was willing to help, it would definitely be very easy to resolve.
Putting his words into action, Qin Luo immediately dialed Wang Jiujin's phone number.
"Teacher Qin?" On the other end of the phone, Wang Jiujiu's voice asked uncertainly.
"Uh. It's me." Qin Luo said. After answering the phone, he felt unsure of how to start speaking. The other person was just a student, letting her do such things seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Teacher Qin, is there something?" Wang Jiujiu's voice became noticeably more cheerful. His tone rose significantly.
"Ah, that...do you have time?"
Yes.
"Shall we meet this afternoon?"
"Alright, where shall we meet?" Wang Jiujin covered her mouth and smiled slyly.
"You decide this," said Qin Luo.
"Then it's that Starbucks on Yanfu Road." said Wang Jiujin.
Qin Luo was taken aback. He had originally thought that Wang Jiujiu would give him the address of a school, but instead she directly pulled their meeting location outside of campus.
But since he has already said that it's up to the other party, it wouldn't be good to refute him now. So he just said: "Alright then. Let's meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon."
He slammed down the phone and tossed his mobile onto the sofa, then let out a shriek of wild excitement.
"Ah——"
Zhang Yi sat beside her, applying cucumber slices to her face for beauty treatment. Upon hearing her daughter's scream, her hand shook and a slice of cucumber slipped into the open collar of her nightgown.
She hastily pulled out the cucumber slice stuck in her cleavage and scolded, "You little bitch, what's wrong with you? No one was harassing you."
"Zhang Yi is here. He's asked for me. He's asked for me." Wang Jiujin covered his face and laughed wildly.
"Wang Jiujui, this is my final warning. If you dare to call me Zhang Yiyi again, don't think about recognizing me as your mother anymore - who asked you to?"
"Teacher Qin called me just now and asked me to meet him at Starbucks this afternoon," said Wang Jiujin happily.
"It's over so soon? That was too easy." Zhang Yiyi said.
"You know what? We're here to communicate feelings. You don't understand."
"Who says I don't understand? How could I not understand?" Zhang Yiyi grabbed a sofa cushion and hit it towards her daughter's head.
"You just don't understand. What does an old woman like you who's approaching menopause know about love?" Wang Jiujin also picked up a pillow to fight back.
"How could I have given birth to you if I didn't understand love?"
"Well, in that case I don't know either," said Wang Jiujin. "Maybe you're not even my real mother."
"You stinky little brat still dare to talk back? Watch me smash you to death. Don't hit my face——"
"What's wrong with you grabbing my chest?"
“——”
After the mother and daughter had made enough noise like a pair of kids, they lay panting on the sofa.
"Daughter, do you really like him?" Zhang Yi asked aloud.
"Of course," said Wang Jiujin.
"Alright then. Mom will go and deal with him."
"——Never mind. I'll handle it myself."
"Don't you think it would be easier to succeed with Mom accompanying you? If he dares to offend you, I can protect you. And if you want to take advantage of him, Mom can also stand at the door and help you block the wind."
