Chapter 226 Serious Situation
On the way, Billy learned that Wild Swan Pharma Solutions was Ozin's largest pharmaceutical company and had a significant presence in the domestic market. Its two flagship traditional Chinese medicine products held nearly fifty percent of the market share for similar products in the country.
After forty minutes, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Wild Swan Pharma Solutions.
"Ms Knight, Mr Gardner!" As soon as they got out of the car, Ava Jones hurriedly approached, and then greeted Stout with a nod.
"What's the situation now?" They walked towards the company's lobby, and Harleen Knight asked.
"The health system, in collaboration with two other departments, has sealed the company with official notices. They've ordered the company to cease all production and operation activities until the situation is resolved." Ava Jones responded.
"Have all the people you informed arrived?" Harleen continued asking.
"Yes!" Ava Jones nodded. "Since the offices are off-limits, everyone is gathered in the main conference room."
"Alright!" Harleen's expression grew solemn as she nodded.
Soon, the four of them entered the company's lobby. Looking around, they saw several people in uniforms from different departments guiding others below.
"Hello there!" Harleen walked over briskly.
"And who might you be?" One of the middle-aged men turned around and asked.
"Ms Knight is the CEO of SunPark Group, the parent company of Wild Swan Pharma." Ava Jones introduced.
"You're just in time!" The man's tone turned serious. "How does your group manage things? To allow such a serious incident to occur. Do you understand how severe the consequences could be?"
"We're truly sorry. We didn't want this to happen either!" Harleen Knight said with a hint of guilt. "Please rest assured, our group will take full responsibility for this matter."
After saying that, she continued, "I've already instructed the company to notify all customers to stop using any products from Wild Swan Pharma."
"Furthermore, I have a request. We need to quickly identify the cause of this issue. This might require using some of the inventory and testing equipment. I hope you can accommodate us. It'll only take a day."
"No way!" The man shook his head firmly. "Your company's products have such a big problem. Even if we gave you another day, who can guarantee that the problematic products won't leak out?"
"I promise they won't. We're only doing internal..." Harleen began again.
"I said it's not possible!" The man interrupted her. "Just wait for the outcome! This incident is so serious. I doubt your company can continue operating."
"Which department are you from?" Billy's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"What's it to you?" The man coldly glanced at Billy.
"Mr Gardner, I know what departments they're from." Ava Jones quickly provided Billy with the names of the three departments.
"Wife, go to the conference room. Find out what the problem is!" Billy said, taking out his phone and sending a text message to Judge.
"But they..." Harleen hesitated.
"Don't worry, they'll leave soon." Billy interrupted her.
"What a joke!" The man snorted. "You have no idea how serious this matter is. Not to mention you, even if the God of Heaven came, this company is sealed today!"
"Wife, go ahead. You don't need to worry about this." Billy ignored the man's comments and turned to Harleen.
"Okay, thank you, dear!" After a brief moment of surprise, Harleen walked away with Ava Jones towards the conference room.
"You seem to be quite..." Not long after Harleen left, the man turned his attention to Billy.
In the middle of his sentence, his own phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a call from his superior. Subtly glancing at Billy, he quickly answered the call.
Not knowing what the other person said on the phone, within two minutes, the man ended the call with a surprised expression. He then swiftly approached Billy and bowed deeply. "I'm... I'm sorry. I was blind not to recognize you. I'll immediately have my people leave..."
Although his superior didn't tell him who this person was on the other end of the line, the tone indicated that Billy was definitely someone he couldn't afford to provoke. Furthermore, his superior made it clear that with this person present, products from Wild Swan Pharma Solutions would absolutely not be allowed to re-enter the market until the situation was thoroughly investigated.
"Alright, go ahead. Tell your superior that Wild Swan Pharma Solutions will be given one day to provide an explanation." Billy waved his hand.
"Also, the company is fully responsible for the patients who were affected."
"Okay... okay!" The man bowed again. "Sorry for the disturbance!"
After saying that, he led his group of people towards the exit.
"Go to the conference room and see what's happening!" Billy then led Stout towards the conference room.
Upon entering the room, they saw over a hundred employees of Wild Swan Pharma Solutions engaged in intense discussions. Harleen Knight, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, was seated at the head of the table. Ava Jones handed her some materials.
"Harleen, how's it going? Any leads?" As Billy and Stout approached Harleen, Ava Jones pulled up two chairs for them to sit.
Many of the attendees had seen Billy a few days ago at the hotel, so they weren't surprised by the presence of the two men.
"No, nothing yet," Harleen Knight shook her head and continued, "I've looked into it. The reported products are from the past half month. But what's strange is that the company's quality control department has repeatedly tested these products, and this batch showed no issues."
As she spoke, she handed the testing reports to Billy. "These are the results of their recent tests on the remaining products in the warehouse. No issues were found."
"Oh?" Billy picked up the reports and looked at them, then asked, "Do you have any inventory left from before the past half month?"
"Mr Gardner, there's no inventory left in the warehouse. However, the company does keep samples from each batch." The vice president in charge of production, sitting nearby, responded.
"Bring the original samples and a sample from the recent half-month production." Billy instructed.
"Mr. Gardner, I've already brought them, but I can't find any differences." Ava Jones handed over the two boxes of medicine.
"Boss, let me handle this!" Stout took the boxes from Ava Jones.
Then, from each box, he took out a pill, smelled it, and proceeded to put one in his mouth and chew.
"Stout, this medicine might be problematic. Spit it out quickly!" Seeing Stout's actions, Harleen exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Stout smiled faintly.
"But..."
"Wife, don't worry. I promise He'll be fine." Billy smiled lightly and reassured her.
Stout, as a direct descendant of the sect of Secret Essences, had been exposed to various herbs from a young age. His body was as immune to poisons as Billy's, so ordinary medicines wouldn't affect him.
As they continued talking, Stout chewed on the second pill. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"How is it?" After Stout chewed for a while, Billy asked.
"Damn it!" Stout furrowed his brows slightly.
