On that night.
Alfred gave an order to his company. This was an order that all employees must follow strictly.
He instructed them to grind all their products into powder.
Alfred personally supervised them as various herbs were grounded into powder and mixed with each other. His eyes were as cold as ice.
All pharmaceutical companies would cut corners and skimp on the materials and ingredients.
Alfred would say that the Timber Group was the one who still had some conscience When it came to using herbs, they combined parts of the quality herbs with those that were less quality. In fact, ninety percent of their products were of good quality. Only one-tenth of them was fake.
Even if an expert came, he wouldn't be able to realize the ingredients they used were fake unless he scrutinized it very carefully.
Now that all their products were already in powder form and were mixed together, no one would be able to tell them apart, not even a god.
Alfred sniggered and thought, "Helping Hands Medical Center, how dare you guys trying to frame us for making and selling fake products! I'm afraid that it is going to After a while, Alfred received a phone call. "Young Master Gao, I've got the product. I also bring a piece of good news for you. We wanted to reformulate their ointment, but it turns out that the ointment itself is already poisonous. Hahahaha! It's so funny! Even God is helping us!"
Alfred's lips curled into a grin.
Haha, even God was helping them!
"You would not believe what I am going to say next! The Helping Hands Medical Center has actually invited countless reporters from the entire city to go to their place. It seems that they are going to bribe these reporters. Just think about it, if we leak out this information tomorrow, how shocking will it be?"to be chaos today. The Helping Hands Medical Center, the Timber Group, and the Song family will definitely make a mess. I'm afraid that you...
"Don't overthink it. Let's go." Chase went out of the house while putting on a Bluetooth headset and sped towards the hotel with Bella.
The two of them arrived at Milky Way Hotel soon. They took a deep breath before they stepped into the hall.
They were greeted by two huge booths in the hall. One was going to be used for the press conference of the Timber Group while another would be for the Helping Hands Medical Center to launch their new product.
The two booths were built right opposite to each other.
Obviously, they were declaring a war against each other.
A lot of reporters had set up their equipment there. The battle which was about to unfold was going to be the most spectacular one in Golden City in recent years.
Although Harper, the man who was in charge of the Helping Hands Medical Center, and Harry from the Timber Group had made it clear that they would not participate in this event, many reporters and busybodies still came and crowded the hall.
Rows of chairs were placed neatly below the booths..
One could tell if a person was a foe or a friend from the seat he chose.
Bella stared at the sign of the Helping Hands Medical Center as the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.
Launching a new product...
Chase did not tell her that the Helping Hands Medical Center was going to hold a press conference to launch its new product the previous day.
As Bella's brows furrowed, she heard Jane's voice from her side. "Bella, come here quickly."
Bella turned her head and saw all themembers of the Song family, including Rosaline, were already seated with the Timber Group.
They had made their stand very clearly.
Bella glanced at Chase.
Chase replied to her with a smile, "It's alright.Join them. I don't want to make things difficult for you."
Bella forced a smile. "Aren't you joining us?"
"I am an employee of the Helping Hands Medical Center" He paused for a while and joked, "You don't want to see me being fired as soon as I got a job, do you?"
Bella nodded and reminded him worriedly.Try to stay low later, alright? I'm worried that you'll get involved in this mess."
Chase said with a smile, "I get it. Go and join them now."
Only then did Bella go and sit with the Song family.
When Jane saw Chase walking toward the Helping Hands Medical Center, she sneered and said, "What a traitor! I can't believe that we have raised a back-stabber!"
Chloe was furious when she saw Chase take his seat below the stage.
What a little bestard! He was the one who caused trouble. How could he leave her alone on the stage to face all these consequences alone?
Couldn't he please be a decent gentleman and help her out?
As soon as Chase sat down, he closed his eyes. There were not many people who chose to side with the Helping Hands Medical Center. Compared with the crowd the Timber Group had, they seemed so helpless.
Chloe couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted this press conference to be over as soon as possible.
Regardless of the reporters and guests present, she started the press conference for their new product, it successfully attracted the reporters.
Bella's heart skipped a beat when she sawthe newly-launched product of the Helping Hands Medical Center.
Wasn't that the beauty product that Chase gave her the previous night?
She handed it over to Ethan, who was also present at this very moment.
Could he be scheming something behind her back?
At this moment, Alfred showed up as well.
Ethan and he walked side by side and took their respective seats on the stage.
Bella also saw Mr. Wang of the Rx Pharma slowly walk up the stage and stand beside them.
It seemed that the battle was going to unfold.
It would not cease until one party admitted defeat.
Alfred stared at the other side with total contempt. He crossed his legs while waiting for Chloe to finish her introductory speech on their new product.
Then he declared pridefully, Alright, let's start since they have finished their speech"
He paused for a moment and chortled, "Haha, what a coincidence! We are going to reprimand the Helping Hands Medical Center today for their unethical behaviors. Why don't you stay and join us since you're here?
Chloe was frozen to the spot on the stage. undecided if she should leave or stay. She gave an angry glare at Chase who was under the stage.
"Yesterday, the Helping Hands Medical Center had terminated their contract with them. We demand a reasonable explanation from them. If they could explain themselves well with sincerity, we would choose to move on from this issue and try to be more understanding given our previous collaboration and partnership. However, we do not expect that they would actually make up lies about us manufacturing fake products. They have crossed the line and taint our image as medical practitioners. I'm going to make three announcements today! said Alfred righteously while he stood up from his seat.
"Firstly, the Timber Group has sworn to always produce authentic medicinal products. Hence, we have invited Prof. Michael Wang from the Rx Pharma. His reputation and prestige in Golden City are unquestionable. Shall we let him examine our ingredients today?"
Everyone looked at Mr. Wang and nodded in agreement.
Mr. Wang was indeed one of the top experts in the pharmaceutical industry in Golden City.
If he declared something to be authentic and real, then it must be true.
On the contrary, if he claimed something to be fake, then it must be fake.
"Bring them in, please!" Alfred shouted.
At this time, a lot of people walked onto the stage with countless bottles and jars in their hands.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What wasAlfred doing?
"These are the herb samples that were randomly selected just now from our company under Mr. Wang's supervision. Mr. Wang would be able to prove this," Alfred said.
Mr. Wang nodded. "These are indeed samples I picked an hour ago."
Chloe could not help frowning when she saw the herbs Alfred brought. She mustered up her courage and questioned, "How could yougrind all the herbs into powders? You're obviously trying to mislead the public as you dare not show us the actual herbs for cross examination."
Alfred's mouth curved into a smile. "Naha, these are part of the standard operations the Timber Group employs. In order to ensure the efficacy of the herbs, we always grind them into powders. Do you have any questions regarding our procedure?"
Stunned by Alfred's answer, Chloe clenched her fists and mumbled helplessly. "No."
The Helping Hands Medical Center would be able to slip through the net if they could identify at least one fake herb in their productsHowever, at this moment, all the herbs were all already smashed into powder. It was clear that they came prepared.
Chase was indeed a b*stard! Chloe really wished to tear his stinky mouth apart!
"Mr. Wang, please lead the other experts and examine the compositions of our products." Alfred invited Mr. Wang with much respect.
The experts immediately split up and began to test the herb powders in different bottles.
A heavy silence hung in the air.
Chloe's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
After half an hour, Mr. Wang finally finished examining all the herbs.
What he said made Chloe feel as if she had fallen into a giant freezer.
"I now declare that all the herbs used by the Timber Group are authentic!"
