My Youth Began With Him Chapter 3767 - Sweet Burden 7

3767 Sweet Burden 7
Sure enough, with a smile, Chen Yuning glanced at Huo Mian and then turned to look at Gao Ran.
“Chief Gao, I’m sorry but my family doesn’t like the profession of… doctors. When my grandmother was at the last stage of cancer, my family had some conflicts with the doctors at the hospital in our county. When my grandmother passed away, my family thought the doctors were not professional and didn’t do their best to save my grandmother just because we didn’t give them the bribes they had demanded. Ever since then, my dad has had a strong prejudice against doctors. Someone tried to introduce a doctor to me, but my dad didn’t let me date him…”
Chen Yuning had tears shining in her eyes, making people think it wasn’t a story. Of course, it wasn’t totally made-up, she just exaggerated it to achieve desired effects. Huo Mian saw through this trick in one glance.
But Gao Ran bought her story.
“Oh, I see… That’s unfortunate…” Gao Ran showed his sympathy with a solemn face.
“If that’s the case, then forget it… I’ll see if I can find other single guys for you.”
“Thank you, Vice Director Huo,” Chen Yuning said with a smile.
“Little Chen, you can go back to your work now.”
“Okay, Chief Gao.”
Chen Yuning nodded and returned to her desk.
Huo Mian had an initial taste of the skills of this high-level scheming bitch and was impressed.
The girl was a good actress. After Song Yishi died, Huo Mian hadn’t seen a woman with such depth. She looked docile, but the biting dogs usually didn’t bark.
Chatting with Gao Ran for a while, Huo Mian returned to South Hill Manor.
She played with the kids for a while and got tired; when she was about to go upstairs to her room, Qin Chu came home.
“Honey, lately you leave home early and come back quite late…”
“Yeah. The company is busy with the acquisition of a pharmaceutical company. We’re doing the appraisal.”
“A pharmaceutical company?”
Huo Mian was surprised.
“Yeah, a company producing biological drugs. One of its food supplements was exposed to be a scam targeted at elderly people with unreasonably high prices and lower content than they advertised… The big boss has fled to the States, leaving his son and wife to clean the mess. They know it’s impossible to reverse the trend and decided to sell the company.”
“Why are we buying it? We’ve never been involved in the pharmaceutical area, right?” Holding Qin Chu’s arm, Huo Mian walked upstairs with him.
“We were not… But we’re now.”
“Why?”
“Because our Vice Director Huo will soon be promoted to the position of Director… After I purchase the pharmaceutical company, I’ll sell drugs to your South Side and the First Hospital. What do you think, Honey? Will you do me the favor?” Qin Chu teased her.
“Humph… You’d never be interested in this tiny income. Tell me why you want to buy it?”
Huo Mian knew Qin Chu never cared for money; he would never purchase the company just to make money.
“Honey, don’t you think the drugs on the market are priced too high?”
“Yeah, I do.”
“Don’t you think they’re cutting down on the effective contents in the drugs? For example, one only needs to take one pill to cure the common cold, but now one needs more than one box of pills to achieve the same effect.”
“That’s true. The domestic drug market is now in a mess.”
Huo Mian had worked in the hospital for years and knew the hidden rules of the drug industry.
“So, I want to operate a pharmaceutical company that produces drugs at reasonable prices and enough efficacy even though the profits are not high… I hope people don’t get intimidated by the drug prices.”
“Wow… Honey, you’re…truly great…”
Unlike saintly people, Qin Chu only cared for the people in his family; he had no interest in the outer world.
So, Huo Mian knew there must be a reason behind this decision.
“President Qin, tell me the real reason behind your decision to purchase the pharma company…” Huo Mian stopped Qin Chu and tried to get the secret from her husband.
