Today marked the press conference for the launch of a new drug by Wellington Pharmaceuticals, and the entire staff was bustling with紧张的 preparation. Jamie Fraser, a security guard at Wellington, had inexplicably arrived late today, of all days, when his responsibilities were crucial for maintaining order at the venue.
In a rush, Jamie made it to the conference site and, without a second thought, pushed open the door to the changing room. The moment he entered, he was transfixed by what he saw: a visage like a celestial being, skin as pure and smooth as snow, limbs delicate as lotus roots, and legs long and straight...
"Have you seen enough?" Isabella "Bella" Swan, the CEO of Wellington Pharmaceuticals, stared at Jamie with a frosty expression that could chill an elephant to the bone.
"Enough, I have," Jamie replied awkwardly, his mind screaming, whats the harm in looking at my own wife?
Indeed, although Bella was the CEO and he was but a lowly security guard, she was, in fact, his fiancée, a childhood engagement arranged by his master many years ago.
Jamies entry into the world had two purposes: one was to break through the shackles of his current cultivation, and the other was to meet Bella.
He had heard from his master that his fiancée was quite rebellious, opening her company to compete with her own family.
Jamie was cautious about marriage and did not wish to meet his wife, whom he had never seen, so he applied for a security guard position at the company, intending to get close and observe her for a while.
"Uh, Ill leave now, you continue," he said, pulling his gaze away reluctantly.
Bella watched Jamies grinning face, feeling a wave of disgust.
"Get out!" she demanded.
Seeing Jamie nod and close the door, Bella finally relaxed and resumed changing.
Her assistant, Edward Cullen, rushed over.
"Ms. Swan, its not good!"
Bella frowned in the changing room: "Whats wrong?"
"The new acid solvent has a problem!"
Hearing Edwards words, Jamie was taken aback. The new acid solvent was the drug about to be launched. How could it have an issue at this time?
"There have been abnormal reactions in patients!"
"What!" came Bellas urgent voice from inside.
The press conference was imminent, and there could be no accidents allowed at this time!
Without waiting for Edward to report, Bella had already changed into a professional suit and walked out of the changing room, saying, "There are still three hours before the press conference starts. Lets go to the scene of the incident now. Time is of the essence, well talk on the way."
She then glanced at Jamie, a flash of disgust in her eyes, and asked, "Can you drive?"
"I can."
"Take us there."
With that, she led the way outside, listening to Edwards report.
It turned out that a patient in the hospital had woken up once after using the new drug, but never woke up again, and today, their condition had deteriorated rapidly.
After hearing Edwards words, Bellas expression became serious.
Acid solvent had gone through phases I, II, and III of clinical trials without any serious side effects, which was why it had been approved by the food and drug administration for market launch. It was now in phase IV, large-scale clinical observation, and the new drug press conference was to start in less than three hours. If there was a problem and the market recalled it, then her eight years of effort and investment of over a billion dollars would go down the drain!
When Jamie and Bella arrived at the scene, the patients room was surrounded by people, and a forceful voice could be heard from afar.
"Our child was doing fine, but after using some crap new drug, theyre almost gone. I want an explanation, and I want it now!"
"Please calm down, Mr. Compton."
"Calm down, my foot! My child is in trouble now, youre all murderers!"
"Mr. Compton, can you be reasonable? Any treatment comes with certain risks."
"Why did the risk have to happen to my child? Hes so lovely, Ill fight you for this!"
The onlookers were also discussing the new drug, with many saying that the new drug was harmful and so on.
As they made their way through the crowd, Bellas expression grew more and more serious. The situation had escalated to a very serious level!
Pushing through the crowd, Bella immediately saw a man arguing with the doctors.
He looked to be in his forties, not very tall, with a kind face that made people feel he was not a bad person. It was because of this appearance that when he spoke, his words carried more weight.
"Please quiet down."
As Bella spoke, she scanned the surroundings. Her voice was not loud, but her presence was commanding, and she could not be ignored. When she finished speaking, everyone looked at her.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man glared at Bella.
"Im the CEO of Wellington Pharmaceuticals, Isabella Swan. Are you Mr. Compton?"
The patient was a fourteen-year-old child, both parents deceased, and the only family left was his sister. Now, the guardianship of the siblings was in the hands of their uncle, Bill Compton, who was presumably this man.
"I am. Your medicine is what kind of broken medicine? My nephew was just suffering from pneumonia, and after using your medicine, hes almost half dead!"
"Youre the CEO, right? Now that my nephew has had this happen, I ask you, how much are you going to compensate us?"
After saying this, he turned to the doctor and sneered, "Humph, dont think you guys can run away either. You have to give us the compensation we deserve!"
Bella frowned inwardly and said, "How to compensate also depends on the patients condition, its not something you can decide with a single word."
Bill Compton snorted and laughed, "Want to see the patient, right? Come, look, its because of your broken medicine that my nephew is now barely breathing!"
After saying this, Bill pointed to the patient lying on the bed connected to a ventilator.
Seeing this situation, Bella not only frowned, but for pneumonia, it really shouldnt be such a big deal.
She looked at the heart monitor next to the patient, and the heartbeat was also very slow.
Bella looked at the doctor and said, "Doctor, did this situation really occur after the patient took our new medicine? Is there any possibility... its for other reasons?"
Before the doctor could speak, Bill had already jumped out and shouted, "Why, are you still trying to shirk responsibility now?"
As he spoke, he looked around and said, "Everyone, look at this. The black-hearted company. My nephew is almost dead, but shes still thinking about shirking responsibility!"
After a pause, he pointed at Bella and said angrily, "Its true that the most poisonous person has a heart. Look at what youve done to make money. My nephew is now half dead!"
Jamie finally squeezed in and looked at the patient on the bed, then at Bill, and then smiled.
"Who said your nephew is half dead?"
Being questioned, Bill looked at Jamie and frowned. "Who are you?"
Jamie smiled and didnt bother to answer his question, but looked at the patient on the bed.
At this moment, another person squeezed in from behind the crowd.
"Excuse me, excuse me, Im the family member of the patient in the ward."
The girl squeezed into the crowd and looked around, then she was surprised to see Bill.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
She then looked at the patient on the bed in surprise, and then stumbled.
"Xiaohu?"
Her eyes turned red in an instant, and she rushed to the bedside with tears streaming down her face. "Xiaohu, Xiaohu, its your sister. Whats wrong with you?"
Looking at the unfamiliar instruments on both sides, she then looked at Bill: "Uncle, didnt you say on the phone that Xiaohu only had pneumonia? Now, whats going on?"
Bill responded with a glance at the doctor next to him.
