Luo Qingli offered a slight smile. "Mr. William, it’s not surprising that you have an impression of us. The Nourishing Facial Cream is a product of our Luo Group. We recently submitted it to the International dical Alliance for review, but it failed to pass."
Upon hearing this, William Dodge recalled the matter. "Indeed, it seems there was sothing like that... So, have the two of you co today regarding this issue?"
Luo Qingli nodded. "Precisely for this matter. Mr. William, our company’s product sells very well dostically. You could say it dominates the market as soon as it’s released! There shouldn’t be any problem with the product’s quality... Why did it fail the review?"
A conflicted expression appeared on William Dodge’s face. He hesitated for a mont before speaking. "Mrs. Luo, I have personally seen the inspection report for this product, but unfortunately... the report states that it contains harmful substances and does not et international dical standards. That’s why it didn’t pass the review. And the sa was true for the two products from the Zongheng Chamber of Comrce."
At his words, Luo Qingli’s and Zhang Yaqing’s pupils constricted.
"Harmful substances?"
Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Mr. William, isn’t there so misunderstanding here? I’m actually the one who created these formulas."
William Dodge took a deep breath. "Mr. Chen, although you saved my life, when it cos to the safety of patients and consurs, my bottom line will never change. Please understand."
Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "Mr. William, that’s not what I an. We just want to get to the bottom of this. These formulas are all derived from pure traditional Chinese dicine. It’s impossible for them to contain harmful substances! Of course, I trust your character and know you wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for us. Could there have been an error in the testing? Or perhaps... soone interfered?"
Hearing this, it dawned on William Dodge. He turned to Lu Jue. "Who was responsible for inspecting these products?"
He also realized that it was very likely a problem within their own International dical Alliance. No matter what, he had to give Chen Xiao a satisfactory response!
Lu Jue paused for a few seconds. "Let check."
About ten minutes later, Lu Jue returned, her expression extrely grim. "I checked. The person responsible for inspecting these products is a mber of the Ghost dical Sect from the Yang Country, who is part of our dical Alliance..."
Rage flared on William Dodge’s face. "Investigate this thoroughly!" he bood. "If they are truly behind this, I’ll make them pay a severe price!"
As the chairman of the International dical Alliance, William Dodge held the power of life and death over the fields of dicine and pharmaceuticals. Angering him had very serious consequences.
Lu Jue was well aware that if the people of the Yang Country were truly caught causing trouble behind the scenes, the pharmaceutical enterprises of the Yang Country would soon face a devastating blow. The Shenzhou Traditional Chinese dicine Community would then imdiately seize the opportunity to fill the void in the market.
"Mr. William, I will start the investigation right away." Lu Jue turned and left to handle the matter.
William Dodge looked at them apologetically. "Mr. Chen, ladies, I am very sorry. This was my fault. I failed to review this matter carefully and allowed this oversight to occur. I apologize to you all." Having said that, he gave them a sincere bow.
Chen Xiao quickly helped him up. "Mr. William, this has nothing to do with you. It was those people who abused their authority and kept you in the dark."
Although they hadn’t interacted much, Chen Xiao could see that the stout man was decent. At the very least, he had a pure heart dedicated to the dical profession.
William Dodge then said solemnly, "Ladies, you may submit your products to for inspection. I will personally supervise it. As long as your products et the quality standards, I will imdiately approve them and ensure they sell well overseas."
Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing were both incredibly grateful. "Thank you, Mr. William, for giving us this opportunity."
"I am the one who should be apologizing to you. After all, this was a failure in my duties," William Dodge sighed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he beca.
He had founded this organization to promote the developnt of dicine, to bring determined individuals into the fold to contribute to the field. He had never expected that these people from the Yang Country, after infiltrating the alliance, would stoop so low as to abuse their authority to do such things... This was sothing he absolutely could not tolerate. It seed the International dical Alliance was due for a thorough house cleaning!
He suppressed his anger and said to Chen Xiao and the ladies, "Please, take a seat and rest for a while."
They sat down in the living room. William Dodge personally brewed hot tea for them, treating them with the utmost respect. This left Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing feeling both surprised and flattered. After all, William Dodge was one of the most powerful figures in the world, and not everyone received such treatnt. Today, they were enjoying this privilege entirely because of Chen Xiao.
After a while, William Dodge spoke to Chen Xiao again. "Mr. Chen, I would like to boldly invite you to join the International dical Alliance. With your extraordinary dical skills, it would be a loss for the entire world if you did not contribute to the field of dicine!"
His voice held undisguised admiration for Chen Xiao.
However, Chen Xiao simply shook his head. "Mr. William, we in the Divine Land have a saying: ’Each to their own aspirations.’ My goal is to live a carefree life, to be a carefree wanderer. If I joined the International dical Alliance, wouldn’t I just be a black sheep?"
William Dodge was filled with regret at Chen Xiao’s polite refusal, but he knew he couldn’t force the issue.
The group sat and exchanged pleasantries for a while longer before Chen Xiao spoke up. "Mr. William, it’s getting late. Allow to give you acupuncture to resolve your headache. As for your cardiogaly and the minor issues with the ’three highs’—hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia—I will prescribe an herbal formula for you. You’ll be completely cured after taking it for one week. Afterward, you just need to make sure you get enough rest, and you’ll recover quickly."
"Then I’ll be in your care, Mr. Chen!" William Dodge said respectfully. He was now completely won over by Chen Xiao, treating him as a top-tier VIP.
Chen Xiao took out his Silver Needles and began the acupuncture treatnt. After he inserted several needles, William Dodge felt his head lighten considerably as his mind cleared and his vision sharpened. The vague, persistent pain in his head was gone.
Ten minutes later, Chen Xiao retracted the Silver Needles.
William Dodge marveled, "Mr. Chen, your dical expertise is truly miraculous! Experiencing it firsthand makes it feel even more incredible! You have my utmost admiration!"
Thinking about Chen Xiao’s refusal to join the International dical Alliance, his sense of regret only intensified.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "The dical arts of the Divine Land have a long and profound history. There are many who are more skilled than I am. In the future, Mr. William, you could also focus on cultivating the younger generation from the Divine Land. Give them opportunities to step onto the world stage so that more people can benefit from what Traditional Chinese dicine has to offer."
William Dodge nodded repeatedly. "I will."
During this trip to the Divine Land, Chen Xiao’s incredible thods had completely won him over, giving him a brand-new understanding of the dical arts of the Divine Land.
Just then, Lu Jue returned with a serious expression. "Mr. William, we’ve made so headway on the matter you asked to investigate.
"First, through an internal audit of the Alliance, we confird that it was indeed people from the Yang Country who tampered with the test results of the submitted products. They have admitted that the products from Miss Luo’s and Miss Zhang’s companies are qualified.
"Second, Jack just called to inform that our information departnt has found clues related to your attack. Currently, all leads point to the Ghost dical Sect. It’s even possible that Yamaguchi Moto was involved!"
The Yamaguchi Moto Lu Jue ntioned was one of the four current vice-presidents of the International dical Alliance.
