Chapter 524 New Drug Data Lost
Chen Xuan did not hide anything from Su Yunxi and told her about overhearing Wu Jiahao bragging at the bar.
"That's great! With this confession, Third Master Gu is finished!" Su Yunxi narrowed her eyes.
Although the fake medicine incident proved that it had nothing to do with Su's Pharmaceutical, it had caused significant reputational damage to the Su family.
Moreover, fake medicines were still flowing into the market. Many hospitals had refused to use the drugs produced by Su's Pharmaceutical. If the fake medicine issue was not investigated thoroughly, the drug, which had been on the market for three months, was facing the risk of being delisted.
Now that there was evidence, exposing Third Master Gu would undoubtedly resolve the crisis.
The next day, early in the morning, a servant drove Wei Linlin to school, and the Su family was much quieter.
Su Yunxi and Chen Xuan were chatting and eating when they received another piece of good news.
Yesterday, Chen Xuan had handed over Wu Jiahao, whom he had asked Young Master Gao to apprehend, to Su Yunxi for handling. Su Yunxi had arranged for Wu Jiahao to be sent to the Industry and Commerce Association overnight. Third Master Gu had already been listed as the primary suspect, and an arrest warrant was being applied for.
"You guys eat first, I have to go out."
Jiang Biyun, who always ate slowly, quickly drank two sips of her meal, stuffed down a bun, and stood up, picking up her bag to leave.
"Mom, why are you going out so early?" Su Yunxi frowned and asked suspiciously.
Jiang Biyun slung her bag over her shoulder and said urgently without looking back, "A cosmetic product is launching today, and I want to rush to buy some."
"Mom, can't you just have someone buy it for you?" Su Yunxi said indifferently.
"I wish I could, but they require real-name, limited purchases for cosmetics. Each person can only buy one box, and the purchaser must be present in person. Otherwise, sales will be refused," Jiang Biyun said helplessly.
"What kind of cosmetic is it that's so popular?" Su Yunxi asked in surprise.
Jiang Biyun was dismissive, "This is nothing. This is just before the full launch. I heard that after the launch, they will release limited edition products. All purchasers will need identity verification, and the buyer's family assets and social status will be investigated. It's simply not something ordinary people can buy."
"Alright, I won't talk anymore, I won't talk anymore."
Jiang Biyun looked up and saw the time, and hurriedly called the driver to leave.
"What kind of cosmetic requires such strict requirements for customers?" Su Yunxi frowned, very surprised.
It was the first time she had heard of a cosmetic product with so many requirements for customers.
"Huo's Cosmetics! The Pride of National Goods."
Jiang Biyun threw out these eight words and then left by car.
Watching Jiang Biyun's car leave, Chen Xuan smiled slightly. It seemed that Huo's Cosmetics had very good marketing strategies, as even a socialite like Jiang Biyun was willing to stoop to rushing to buy cosmetics.
Yesterday, He Qionshi had filmed the first advertisement and sent the advertisement to various television stations overnight.
Without delay, Huo's Cosmetics would hold a product launch conference today. Due to sufficient prior preparation, after the conference, Huo's Cosmetics' first product would be launched with a bang!
Cosmetics from Xia Guo had never won awards abroad. However, Huo's Cosmetics' products had won awards abroad one after another, and were affectionately called the Pride of National Goods by netizens, causing a sensation online.
The popularity of the Pride of National Goods had already topped the hot search list.
"So it's Huo's Cosmetics' Pride of National Goods. No wonder they have such high requirements for customers."
Su Yunxi, who was searching on her phone, stared at the phone screen with her lips slightly parted and her beautiful eyes trembling.
Chen Xuan smiled and looked at Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi's astonishment was enough to prove that Su Yunxi should be very satisfied with Huo's Cosmetics' achievements.
However, Huo's Cosmetics was just starting to take over, and the future would be even better. This was definitely a trump card in Chen Xuan's hand.
The press conference was scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning. Chen Xuan was naturally among the invited guests. After breakfast, he planned to attend. Su Yunxi also picked up her bag and prepared to go to work.
However, just as Su Yunxi was about to leave, she suddenly received a phone call that made her expression change drastically!
The research data for a new drug, which Su's Pharmaceutical had been developing for many years and had great potential, almost determining the future landscape of the pharmaceutical industry in Jiangnan Province, had been stolen. This meant the new drug was leaked and might even be impossible to produce.
Su Yunxi felt a wave of dizziness: "How could this happen? I've already instructed people to guard it strictly! And hired many security personnel..."
Realizing that the Gu family had taken a liking to Su's Pharmaceutical's special medicine for heart disease, Su Yunxi had specifically strengthened the protection of the new drug, but she did not expect that something would still go wrong.
"Yunxi, let's go and see first."
Chen Xuan, who was supposed to attend the cosmetic product launch, had to give it up for now and planned to accompany Su Yunxi to Su's Pharmaceutical.
"We can only do that."
Su Yunxi nodded, her pretty face filled with worry.
Indeed, Su's Pharmaceutical was the most valuable asset of the Su family.
Before leaving, Chen Xuan sent a text message to Huo Yuhao, informing him that he couldn't make it. The press conference would proceed as scheduled. However, Huo Yuhao knew that even if Chen Xuan didn't attend, the press conference was imperative because the product promotion was imminent.
More than half an hour later, Chen Xuan drove to the office building of Su's Pharmaceutical.
"President Su!"
As soon as they walked in, a woman in her thirties hurried over.
This woman was wearing a small suit, had short brown hair, and wore light makeup. She looked very capable.
This was Su Yunxi's secretary, Yu Mingjia.
"Secretary Yu, what's the situation?" Su Yunxi asked urgently.
"We have already reported it to the police. The police and staff from the Industry and Commerce Association are questioning the relevant personnel, but it doesn't seem to be making much progress," Yu Mingjia said in a low voice.
Su Yunxi's heart sank.
Yu Mingjia said solemnly, "President Su, we are due to launch this special medicine for heart disease in two months, and we have invested heavily in its promotion. Now that we have lost the new product, we are likely to suffer heavy losses."
"Don't panic for now. Let's gather all the experts who researched the new drug and restore the data," Su Yunxi's voice was a little hoarse, but she still maintained her composure and rationality.
"President Su, I'll arrange it now!"
Yu Mingjia turned and left.
Soon, the police and staff from the Industry and Commerce Association finished recording their statements and understanding the situation. In the end, they just said to wait for news and left in a hurry with their people.
Su Yunxi still had some connections and knew the leaders of the police station. She inquired about the case.
The other party told Su Yunxi that there were too few clues, and it seemed to be done by a professional theft group. It was almost impossible to find the person who stole the data. They advised Su Yunxi to prepare for the worst and stop the bleeding in time.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunxi was struck by lightning, her mind reeled, and she stumbled backward.
Chen Xuan quickly helped Su Yunxi sit down on the side, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and quickly took her pulse. He found no problems, attributing it to her emotional distress.
He comforted her, "Yunxi, don't worry, maybe there will be a turn of events."
"Perhaps."
Su Yunxi took a deep breath.
"President Su, good news! Good news!"
Just then, a cheer erupted.
