Chapter 41 Go for what?
When Romeo finished his last call, his face was so dark. All of his former subordinates at Lowe's Pharmaceutical had chosen to stay, without exception. Some even refused to answer his calls.
"What's wrong, honey? What happened?" Eliza asked anxiously.
"Lachlan! It's that Lachlan! These turncoats all talked to the guy with Lachlan and changed their minds!" Romeo said through gritted teeth.
"What? That gigolo next to Miranda? How is that possible? A gigolo like him has no power," Harlow exclaimed incredulously.
"Who knows what dirty tricks he used! And the most ridiculous thing is that he boasted about having orders worth at least 100 million in the near future! Damn it, did these turncoats believe him just because of this?" Romeo's expression was constantly changing.
Of course, these company executives couldn't reveal their own shady dealings and instead used Lachlan's "pie in the sky" promises as an excuse for their betrayal.
"Haha, orders worth 100 millions? This Lachlan is really a clown who dares say anything! Are these turncoats all idiots for believing him?" Harlow laughed angrily.
"The situation definitely isn't that simple!" Romeo spoke in a low voice.
"So... are we still going to the company?" Eliza asked.
Hearing this, Romeo exploded with anger, "Are you stupid? Why would we go there? To humiliate ourselves?"
Meanwhile, in Miranda's office, she stared at the man before her as if trying to see through him. The more she looked at him, the more mysterious he seemed.
"What are you looking at? Am I handsome?" Lachlan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. Even he felt his heart skip a beat when being scrutinized by such a stunning goddess.
"Well... you're kind of handsome," Miranda smiled and nodded before continuing to stare at Lachlan. "How did you do it?"
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders and said cryptically, "It's a secret."
Everyone has something they don't want others to know about - things that often manifest in their physical condition or personal habits.
After infusing his eyes with dragon energy, Lachlan possessed a pair of eyes that were skilled at discovering secrets. For example, Macy's miscarriage and the fact that a company executive was actually suffering from HIV, which no one else knew about except for him. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
This disease is protected by hospital privacy laws and society advocates against discrimination towards those who suffer from it. Any employer was not allowed to refuse employment to someone because they had HIV.
However, despite these regulations and advocacy, just imagine the pressure this person would face if their secret was revealed. Being mortified would be inevitable!
It can be said that they succumbed because Lachlan sent them a signal: I can expose you and all your hidden secrets! Just like Shelly before them, they feared Lachlan - even dread him.
"Hmph! Forget it then!" Miranda snorted lightly with some dissatisfaction before asking again, "Lachlan, why are you helping me like this? In reality, we're just in a business deal. I haven't been particularly good to you."
Lachlan smiled and replied, "You've been pretty good. Today, you even helped me deal with your cousin. You're this protective of your family, so as your husband, shouldn't I be too?"
In fact, Lachlan's attitude toward Miranda had changed from the moment she had shielded him from seven assassins the day before. This fake marriage was no longer just a transaction to him.
"Who is your wife?" Miranda heard the words and gave Lachlan a sharp look, muttering under her breath. But there was still a faint smile on her pretty face, indicating that she wasn't really opposed to the idea.
"Oh, I forgot. There's no one else here," Lachlan said sheepishly.
"Well then, Ms. Lowe, if you don't mind, I'll be going," he added.
But just as he turned to leave, the beautiful CEO's face suddenly turned cold and she glared at him fiercely.
"Just go! I can't stand seeing you!" she snapped.
Lachlan broke out in a sweat and thought to himself, "Women are so unpredictable!"
After leaving the company premises, Lachlan went to several pharmacies and bought a large amount of medicine. Since he had decided to help Miranda out from now on, it was time for him to take action.
He chose four types of medicine: scar removal cream for beauty treatment; hair growth tonic; powerful hemostatic agent; and leukemia medication. However, instead of improving their effects like they were supposed to do originally, he planned on reducing the potency of the first two medicines by substituting some expensive herbs with cheaper ones so that they could be mass- produced more cost-effectively.
Of course, even if the effect was weakened, it would still be much more powerful than the scar removal and hair growth products on the market today.
Lachlan planned to use Zak's connections to try and open up channels within the military for a strong hemostatic drug.
As for the medicine to treat leukemia, Lachlan was going to put his heart into it and have a serious talk with Miranda when the time came.
He wasn't planning on using it for profit. It could be used to establish Lowe's Pharmaceutical's brand image, but it had to be sold at an affordable price.
Lachlan knew all too well how devastating leukemia could be for a family after experiencing it firsthand with a patient.
Drugs like "Gleevec" cost astronomical amounts of money and leave many families bankrupt and desperate.
After spending all morning "reforming" four types of drugs, Lachlan took out his phone and began making calls.
This was where personal relationships came in handy.
"Hello, Mr. Ward? This is Lachlan! How have you been lately?" Lachlan greeted him warmly.
"I know, I know you're that young doctor Lachlan! I've been taking that prescription you gave me last time and my heart feels like I'm back in my twenties! When will you have some free time? I want to personally thank you again." Erik spoke with gratitude and enthusiasm.
Last time he insisted on giving Lachlan compensation but he naturally returned the favor by leaving Erik with a prescription for maintaining heart health.
"Let's talk about visiting once I've moved into my new house. I'll definitely invite you, Mr. Ward, to come over as a guest. Right now, I'm preparing to launch several new drugs on the market," Lachlan explained his purpose.
"What? Little miracle doctor, you're launching new drugs? That's great! It's like benefiting society!" Erik exclaimed and patted his chest in agreement.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ward! I can guarantee the effectiveness of these drugs. Once we have samples made, I can let those distributors and agents try them out freely," Lachlan said confidently.
"Hey little miracle doctor, there's no doubt your medicine will be effective!" Erik laughed.
After chatting for a while longer, Lachlan hung up the phone. He then contacted Clifford and Zak separately to discuss this matter.
Clifford was a renowned medicine expert in the country and knew many people in this field. When he heard that Lachlan was launching new drugs on the market, he became excited and eager to help out by promising that he would take care of everything himself.
The last time they briefly exchanged ideas for a moment or two had resulted in many medical problems that had been plaguing him being resolved at once.
Clifford was thoroughly impressed with Lachlan's medical skills. He had complete faith in the medicines he prescribed and gave him his full support.
However, after Lachlan finished his call with Zak and explained his purpose, the attitude of the commander became somewhat ambiguous. In fact, his words gradually shifted from admiration to dissatisfaction and indifference.
