Chapter 180: Transmission
Translator: Lordbluefire
Charles’ reaction shocked everyone.
Li Dongzhe looked at his teacher and frowned as he asked, “Teacher, are you acquainted with her?”
Fang Panxia also frowned as huge waves churned in her heart.
Her teacher was acquainted with Shen Ruojing? No, was he acquainted with Divine Doctor Jing?
Fang Panxia instantly understood everything and a strong sense of unease rose in her heart.
Charles understood that Divine Doctor Jing’s identity had to be kept a secret. Earlier, he had made a mistake by calling her that. Hence, he quickly shut up.
He coughed and the impatience on his face completely vanished. He only stared at Shen Ruojing and asked, “Is there really a transmissible disease?”
At this moment, he finally understood what was going on.
Earlier, he had felt that the Chu Corporation was too much. But since Divine Doctor Jing had determined that there was a transmissible disease, it must be true.
Shen Ruojing nodded. “We still need 300,000 heat dispersal pills. You guys can continue with the research, but the other staff has to work overtime to manufacture the pills. Is there a problem?”
Charles directly answered, “No problem.”
Everyone here. “??”
Shen Ruojing only came here to check out the production environment. After all, in the manufacturing process, if even a single detail had a problem, the efficacy of the medicine would be halved.
When she was about to make this request to Charles, her phone started ringing all of a sudden.
After picking up, she heard Captain Cui saying, “There’s someone in my team that has fallen sick.”
This sentence caused Shen Ruojing’s expression to freeze. “Where is that person? I’ll head there immediately.”
Captain Cui gave her the address to a hospital.
After hanging up, Shen Ruojing looked at Charles. “I’ll have to trouble you about the heat dispersal pills then. I have something on, so I’ll make a move first.”
“…Okay then.” However, Charles’s voice was filled with a bit of resentment. “In that case, remember to come again when you are free.”
The improvement to the Bugu Diazepam was all due to her idea!
Hearing this, Shen Ruojing nodded. After that, she turned and brought Lu Cheng, who had a stunned look on his face, away. But before they left, Lu Cheng cast a deep look at Fang Panxia.
After the two of them left, Li Dongzhe looked at Charles. “Teacher, do we really have to manufacture those heat dispersal pills?”
Charles nodded. “Correct. I’ll head to the pharmaceutical factory to take a look first.”
In the industrial park, Charles had always been in charge of the research department. Although he was the boss of this industrial park, manufacturing medicine was a mature industrial chain, so there was basically no need for him to supervise personally.
Yet now, Charles actually wanted to personally go over and take a look?
Everyone had bewildered looks on their faces.
After Charles left, Li Dongzhe was still standing at his original location dumbly. He cast a puzzled look at Fang Panxia. “Why did Teacher’s character suddenly change? Could it be that there is really a transmissible disease?”
If a transmissible disease really erupted, it was impossible for them to just solely focus on research.
As a medical worker, Li Dongzhe had basic professional qualities.
Right now, Fang Panxia lowered her eyelids as her fingers clenched subconsciously.
When she thought of the look Lu Cheng had shot her before he left, she sighed. “The Chu Corporation has provided too many benefits for us. Even though this is overseas, you guys probably have never experienced such a relaxed research environment before, right? Hence, sometimes, it is important for us to compromise.”
Li Dongzhe stared at her in astonishment. “Are you saying that even Teacher caved in?”
Fang Panxia didn’t reply.
Li Dongzhe naturally wouldn’t implicate Charles in his rage. Charles was the teacher he admired the most. Hence, he transferred all his anger onto the Chu Corporation. “The Chu Corporation is too much of a bully! When Teacher was overseas, when did he ever have to bow his head?”
The surrounding people also revealed looks of unhappiness and anger after hearing this.
Even Charles had to lower his head?
They were reluctant but also filled with helplessness.

When Shen Ruojing rushed to the hospital that Captain Cui told her, she saw the infected Xiao Li lying on the bed. The doctors already had her on a drip.
Her condition worsened very quickly. She had felt unwell last night and was already unconscious today.
Shen Ruojing frowned. “If she ate my medicine, such a situation wouldn’t occur. She would be cured if she was sick, and there would be a prevention effect even if she wasn’t sick.”
Captain Cui also frowned. “Miss Shen, could it be that the pills weren’t effective?”
Shen Ruojing pursed her lips in puzzlement and sat beside Xiao Li. She then stretched her hand out to take Xiao Li’s pulse.
At this moment, Liu Dandan who was at the side spoke out, “W…we didn’t eat the medicine…”
“You guys didn’t eat the medicine?”
Shen Ruojing’s gaze was like a sharp knife as she looked over. Liu Dandan was about to cry. “No one believed that there’s a transmissible disease. All of us felt that you guys were talking nonsense, hence, we didn’t eat the pills…”
“Impudent!” Captain Cui shouted in rage, “Would I joke about something like this?!”
He looked outside the door and hollered at the people outside, “Those who had close contact with Xiao Li or came in contact with the corpse have to eat the medicine immediately! This is an order!”
“Yes!”
Shen Ruojing retracted the hand she used to take the pulse while feeling somewhat helpless in her heart.
However, she understood why everyone didn’t believe this.
After visiting Xiao Li, Captain Cui and Shen Ruojing left the ward. Just when they headed outside, they immediately spotted a bunch of reporters behaving suspiciously. Clearly, the reporters were following them.
Captain Cui and Shen Ruojing exchanged a mutual glance. After that, Captain Cui walked toward the reporters.
Shen Ruojing knew that the news about Xiao Li falling sick would soon be trending. The Chu Corporation’s crisis would probably soon be resolved, right…?
…
Chu Corporation.
“Cichen, you might still be able to resolve this if you stop right now.”
With a haggard expression, Chu Yuan sat on the sofa. During these few days, he had run into a wall every time he went to look for the major pharmaceutical companies. Even Charles’s reputation was useless here. Despite instilling some confidence in those pharmaceutical companies, once Chu Yuan mentioned the matter of cooperation, they would immediately quail.
The Chu Corporation’s pharmaceutical factory was akin to a virus right now.
No matter who it was, they would get into trouble if they came in contact with it.
Chu Yuan was also helpless. This was his first time feeling such a sense of crisis.
He lifted his head and looked at Chu Cichen who was seated behind the boss’s table.
The man was young and fit, and his exquisite-looking face had a look of determination. He sat up straight and exuded an aura of sharpness.
His face was expressionless and would always emanate the aura of a huge immovable mountain no matter what it faced.
This made Chu Yuan unable to see through him.
Was his eldest nephew certain that there was a transmissible disease? Or did he have some methods of tricks that could revive the Chu Corporation?
Chu Yuan couldn’t guess, but Chu Cichen’s manner caused Chu Yuan to be able to persist up until now.
As the shareholders didn’t dare to go against Chu Cichen head-on, they all put pressure on Chu Yuan. Hence, Chu Yuan’s heart state was on the verge of collapse. “Up till now, there hasn’t been a single case of an outbreak of the transmissible disease. This is clear that the doctors around you might have made the wrong judgment…”
As he said this, the door was pushed open by someone.
Lu Cheng was overly excited and he impatiently charged into the office. “An outbreak happened! Someone was infected!”
