Chapter 1359: Shameless
The people who pa.s.sed through the entrance were the six brothers from the Nangong family, Nuannuan"s sisters-in-law and aunts, as well as Lil Ling"er and Lil Sun, the two little buns.
The white lion was, of course, Da Bai.
Da Bai was initially accompanying Bai Liyue in her room, but after hearing Lil Ling"er"s voice, it leaped down from the third floor.
Even though there was quite some distance between te the third floor and the first floor, a fall was nothing to the thick-skinned Da Bai. Compared to the joy of seeing Lil Ling"er, a fall was nothing.
Of course, Lil Ling"er was ecstatic to see Da Bai.
The happiest thing for her now was to come to Grandpa Chi"s house.
That was because she could see Da Bai at Grandpa Chi"s house.
Unexpectedly, when the group of people from the Nangong family pa.s.sed through the door, it happened to b.u.mp into the grandfather and granddaughter from the s.h.i.+ family who were walking out from inside. It scared both of them so much that they fell to the ground.
Nangong Ze had a lot of unsettled business with the s.h.i.+ family.
Back then, as an elite in the medical world, Nangong Ze joined the Medical Administrative Department. Due to his good performance, the Medical Administrative Department wanted to promote him and he was sent to complete some practical tasks.
Whether it was in the business world, politics, or the military world, if one wanted to improve, one must either achieve results or make contributions.
At the time, the Medic a.s.sociation Hospital was researching a drug that was effective against hyperlipidemia. They were halfway done with the research, so the Medical Administrative Department sent Nangong Ze to the Medic a.s.sociation Hospital to work on this project.
With Nangong Ze"s medical proficiency, he was able to develop this drug in less than two years.
However, the person in charge of this project at the Medic a.s.sociation Hospital was s.h.i.+ Zhonglei, the son of the current director of the hospital, s.h.i.+ Maocheng. To ensure that his contribution was known as soon as possible, s.h.i.+ Zhonglei increased the dosage of the medication despite Nangong Ze"s objection. After Nangong Ze reported this matter to s.h.i.+ Maocheng, s.h.i.+ Maocheng dismissed it. He claimed that it would be fine as long as the medication could cure the illness. The whole reason he invented this medicine in the first place was to quickly reduce lipid levels so that patients who had too much lipid coverage could see the effects immediately after taking the medicine.
Nangong Ze"s influence in the hospital was very weak. No one was willing to listen to him at all. Everyone was busy kissing s.h.i.+ Zhonglei"s a.s.s.
Nangong Ze had no choice but to study it himself day and night. In less than half a year, he had successfully developed the medicine despite all the obstacles he faced.
Since the drug had to be tested after it was developed, the team members would definitely know.
When the testing for the drug was completed, s.h.i.+ Maocheng credited Nangong Ze"s research to s.h.i.+ Zhonglei. s.h.i.+ Maocheng also took s.h.i.+ Zhonglei"s research results to the Health Department and claimed that Nangong Ze had increased the dosage of the drug and treated human lives like gra.s.s.
This time, Nangong Ze could not explain himself even if he wanted to.
At the time, the s.h.i.+ family and the Nangong family had been on good terms, minding their own business. They were both first-tier wealthy families, so they had to give each other some face when they met. Therefore, Nangong Ze did not expect the s.h.i.+ family to suddenly throw him under the bus. Not only did they steal his credit, they even pinned the blame on him.
In the end, the Nangong family had no way to prove Nangong Ze"s innocence, so they could only suffer this loss. Although Nangong Ze was not fired, he could not be promoted within a short period of time.
However, things were not over yet. Nangong Ze could not be promoted, but someone else was promoted. This person was s.h.i.+ Zhonglei"s younger brother, s.h.i.+ Zhongran, who transferred from another department.
They stole the results from Nangong Ze"s medical research, framed him, and made him bear the brunt of the blame. They had even stolen the position that should have belonged to Nangong Ze.
It could be said that the s.h.i.+ family was being atrocious right under the Nangong family"s noses.
