It was about ten o 'clock at night. For many young people, it was still very early. Some had just woken up and started to go out for the night. But for Chen Mingan, the director of the Drug and Cosmetics Registration Management Department, who was in his fifties, it was already time to rest.
Every day, Chen Mingan would go to bed at 9: 30 p.m. on time every night.
However, just as he began to feel sleepy, his cell phone in the distance began to vibrate. He always put his cell phone far away when he slept. It was said that this could reduce the radiation damage.
The sleepiness that Chen Mingan had just brewed suddenly disappeared. He sat up with a face full of anger and muttered, "Who is it! Calling in the middle of the night … "
It shouldn't be someone from the department. Those subordinates knew his habits. They would never disturb him after 9: 30, unless something serious happened.
Chen Mingan's wife was sitting in front of the dressing table, taking off her jewelry. Chen Mingan's cell phone was on the table not far from her.
His wife looked back at Chen Mingan, who had already sat up, and said, "Old Chen, why are you in a daze? Answer the phone … "
Chen Mingan said, "Help me see who's calling first."
"Oh …" His wife said as she got up and picked up the cell phone.
At first glance, his wife's face changed and she cried out, "Oh! It's Director Zeng! "
"What?" Chen Mingan lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed. His movements were as agile as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
He rushed to his wife, took the cell phone, and hurriedly pressed the answer button.
Chen Mingan said respectfully, "Hello, Director Zeng! What instructions do you have? "
Zeng Kewen's voice was very cold. "Comrade Chen Mingan, you have to implement what I'm about to say immediately! First, suspend Qi Min, Lu Ping, and Guo Ziyang in the Department of Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines. Second, order the Department of Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines to find the new drug materials submitted by Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Company in Southeast Province tonight and organize a review overnight. Third, after the matter is dealt with, no matter what time it is, you have to personally bring the person in charge of the Department of Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines to my residence to report the situation! "
Chen Mingan was stunned, but fortunately, he reacted quickly. He was only stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Yes! Director Zeng, I'll rush back to the department right away to supervise. I'll implement your instructions to the letter! "
Ceng Kewen snorted and hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Chen Mingan's face was pale. He sat on the edge of the bed and muttered, "Something big happened, something big happened …"
His wife, who was watching from the side, was also shocked. She quickly asked, "Old Chen, what's going on?"
"I have to rush back to the unit immediately!" Chen Mingan said in a daze.
As he spoke, he grabbed his phone and ran out.
"Sigh! You're still wearing pajamas! "
Only then did Chen Mingan react. He hurriedly turned around and put on his clothes, tidying them up as he walked out.
In order to save time, he didn't even call the driver to pick him up. Instead, he drove his own car and rushed to the General Drug Administration.
On the way, Chen Mingan gradually calmed down. He began to make phone calls while driving.
When Chen Mingan arrived at the office, some of the staff who lived nearby had already arrived. Many of the office lights were already on.
Lin Huahai, the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines, was in the most difficult position.
He rushed to the office, reeking of alcohol. Then, he started to work with an extremely anxious and uneasy mood.
Soon, the deputy director in charge of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines also arrived at the office. All the staff in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines were called back. The office area became brightly lit.
When Qi Min and the other two received Lin Huahai's call, they were eating skewers and drinking at a roadside stall.
It wasn't that they had given up, but that they were really desperate about what happened tonight. The three of them simply huddled together and drank to drown their sorrows.
However, Qi Min and the other two really didn't expect that this matter couldn't even be delayed for one night. How long had it been? The head of the department immediately called him.
Lin Huahai sternly announced the decision to suspend the three of them over the phone. At the same time, he ordered the three of them to "get back" to the office as soon as possible.
Naturally, there was an important matter to call them back. What kind of big trouble did these three bastards cause for the office? Now, even the director was waiting to get an answer from them!
As for the application report that Xue Jinshan and the other two had put in a lot of effort to send in, Qi Min casually threw it aside a few days ago.
The number of letters from the national ministries and commissions every day was astonishing. Soon, this report was drowned in all kinds of materials.
The cadres of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines cursed Qi Min as they opened the boxes of documents and began to search through them.
Fortunately, there was strength in numbers. Moreover, the materials weren't overstocked for too long. Therefore, after a while, they successfully found the application materials submitted by the Taoyuan Company.
Therefore, the department began to organize the project approval overnight.
Although it was called approval, in fact, the director and the ordinary staff all knew that it was just a formality.
They had to go through the necessary procedures.
In Huaxia, a lot of times, procedural justice was very important.
Soon, the project approval notice with a bright red seal and the notice of appointing the Southeast Provincial Food and Drug Administration to organize the preliminary examination were issued.
In the small meeting room of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicines, the director Chen Mingan led a few department leaders and department leaders to conduct intensive questioning of Qi Min and the other two.
The three of them didn't dare to hide anything. Very quickly, they spilled the beans in full detail.
When Chen Mingan heard that Qi Min had directly offended Chief Zeng's son and that the boss of Taoyuan Pharmaceuticals he had offended had a frightening background, he almost couldn't help but throw a teacup at them.
After waving his hand in disgust to have the three of them taken away, Chen Mingan smoked another cigarette and remained silent for a long time.
Then, he suddenly said, "Xiao Lin, the Wang Mansion's private restaurant isn't very far from here. I reckon that Boss Xia shouldn't have left yet. Immediately take these two notices and personally deliver them to him and Chief He Kun. At the same time, apologize to him in the representative office. Oh right, don't forget to inform him of the decision to deal with Qi Min and the others. Consider it as an explanation! "
"Okay!" Lin Huahai quickly stood up and said. Then, he picked up the two notices and hurriedly left the small meeting room.
On the other hand, Chen Mingan led the other division leaders and a few clerks in the division to use this short period of time to quickly come up with a simple draft of a report. In a while, he still had to bring Lin Huahai to Zeng Kewen's house to do the report!
At the Wang Mansion's private restaurant.
Lin Huahai quickly found the private room where Xia Ruofei and the others were.
However, this kind of VIP private room wasn't a place where just anyone could enter and leave as they pleased. Especially today, the boss was entertaining VIPs inside, so the waitress at the door didn't hesitate to stop Lin Huahai.
Lin Huahai said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, can you at least help me pass on the message? I'm from the National Drug Administration. I came here specifically to look for Boss Xia of Taoyuan Pharmaceuticals. It's important. "
At first, the waitress didn't move. However, after Lin Huahai's gentle pleading, a soft-hearted lady finally nodded. She pushed open the door to the private room and bent down in front of Brother Four. She whispered the matter in his ear.
Brother Four's face showed a hint of surprise. He nodded and said, "Got it. Tell him to wait at the door now!"
"Okay." The waitress hurriedly said.
Brother Four smiled at Xia Ruofei and said, "Ruofei, someone from the Drug Administration is here. I think they've pretty much dealt with the matter. Do you want to meet them?"
"So fast!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "Brother Four's reputation is really big! Since they're already here, let's meet them! "
Brother Four heard this and angrily gestured at the waitress who was pouring wine for everyone in the private room. The waitress immediately understood and walked out of the private room. She quickly led the nervous Lin Huahai in.
He Kun, Xue Jinshan, and the others couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.
Xue Jinshan and the others didn't need to be mentioned. These days, they mainly dealt with the Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicine Administration. Not to mention Lin Huahai, who was the director, even the small section chief, Qi Min, couldn't easily see him.
The first person He Kun wanted to invite today was Lin Huahai. However, Lin Huahai was too practical and tactfully declined the invitation.
Of course, this was also unknown. If Lin Huahai had accepted the invitation, he might have been one of the people who would have been fired today.
Although this was enough to make him suffer, at least the situation hadn't reached the worst yet.
Lin Huahai first greeted Brother Four respectfully when he entered the room.
Brother Four nodded slightly, then pointed at Xia Ruofei and said, "This is Boss Xia from Taoyuan Pharmaceuticals."
Lin Huahai hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to Xia Ruofei. He then said, "Boss Xia, hello. I'm the director of the Chinese Medicine and Ethnic Medicine Administration, Lin Huahai. First of all, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you. Our work style is too bureaucratic, especially when there's a black sheep like Qi Min! As the director, I also have an unshirkable responsibility! "
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Director Lin, you're exaggerating. Why are you looking for me today? Don't tell me it's just an apology? "
Lin Huahai hurriedly said, "Boss Xia, other than the apology from the representative office, the director of our department also specifically instructed me to convey to you that Qi Min, Lu Ping, and Guo Ziyang have been suspended. The next step is to launch an investigation on them."
"Oh." Xia Ruofei didn't comment and responded indifferently.
Xia Ruofei didn't find it strange that this was what the question was supposed to be about.
Lin Huahai continued, "In addition, the materials submitted by Taoyuan Pharmaceuticals have been reviewed by our department overnight and have been approved. I also brought the project approval notice with me!"
After that, Lin Huahai opened his briefcase and presented a notice with a bright red seal to Xia Ruofei with both hands.
Xia Ruofei took the notice and glanced at it, then casually handed it to Xue Jinshan.
Xue Jinshan felt like he was in a dream. He read it several times and even rubbed his eyes for fear that he was seeing things.
He had been struggling for so many days but still couldn't get through the door. He felt that it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, but they had actually organized a review overnight and approved it in such a short time!
Xia Ruofei was much calmer than Xue Jinshan. He smiled and said, "Director Lin, thank you for your hard work!"
"You're welcome. This is our job," Lin Huahai quickly said. "And because of Qi Min's misconduct, this application has been backlogged for many days. This in itself is a serious dereliction of duty. We're just correcting their mistakes."
At this time, it was right to put all the blame on Qi Min. Anyway, he was already finished.
Xia Ruofei nodded indifferently.
Lin Huahai turned his gaze to He Kun, took out another document from his briefcase, and also presented it with both hands.
He said, "Director He, this is the notice from our department to the Southeast Drug Administration. It's to assign you to carry out the preliminary review of the Heart-Nourishing Soup project. I also brought it with me."
"Oh?" He Kun was also very surprised. "This time, it's really fast!"
Lin Huahai smiled a little awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Director He, I'm really sorry about today! I really had some things to do and couldn't leave. How about this … I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow! "
He Kun's heart was very carefree. However, as a sly old fox, he naturally wouldn't show it. He just laughed ambiguously.
Lin Huahai delivered the documents and made all the necessary gestures, so he didn't stay any longer. He simply said his goodbyes and left.
"Brother Xiao Si, thank you!" Xia Ruofei raised his wine glass at Brother Xiao Si and said with a smile.
"You're welcome!" Brother Xiao Si quickly filled his glass and clinked his glass with Xia Ruofei's. "Ruofei, we're all brothers. Don't be so formal!"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "Brother Xiao Si, you're welcome to visit the three mountains when you're free! I have a farm there. When it's summer, you can pick your own fruits and vegetables. Oh right, we've also recently reared very delicious Yangtze River Shad! "
Song Rui, who hadn't spoken all this while, couldn't help but say, "You don't say, Ruo Fei, this kid, really has a lot of good stuff. Those vegetables, wine, fish, tea leaves … those bought outside simply can't compare! Zeng Xiaosi, you'll know once you try it. "
Brother Xiao Si said with a smile, "Young Master Song, I'm almost drooling. No, no, I'll definitely find time to go there soon."
Brother Xiao Si was a person who loved to eat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have opened such a big private restaurant. Xia Ruofei and Song Rui were right. He was really tempted.
Moreover, this could further strengthen the relationship between everyone. This was something that Brother Xiao Si liked to see.
Song Rui curled his lips and said, "But you have to be mentally prepared. Ruo Fei, this brat, is the most stingy. Letting you have a taste shouldn't be a big problem. If you want to have your fill, it's best if you give up early."
Brother Xiao Si was stunned. "Can't I pay for it?"
Song Rui glanced at him with disdain and said, "Do I look like someone who can't afford it?"
Brother Xiao Si hurriedly smiled apologetically and shook his head.
Song Rui couldn't be bothered to say more to him. In fact, the two of them were considered hedonistic, but they weren't at the same level. It could even be said that they were two or three levels apart.
Song Rui was, of course, one of the top hedonistic people in the circle. Moreover, he was a well-known figure in that circle.
Brother Xiao Si, on the other hand, was worlds apart!
"Zeng Xiaosi, find me a quiet place. I have something I want to talk to Ruofei about in private," Song Rui said lightly.
