His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 741

"You're asking me what happened?" Department Head Wang bellowed in fury, "Now you tell me, what happened to the investigation of the Ephedra Syrup?"

As soon as the Ephedra Syrup was mentioned, Philip's heart instinctively tightened, but he quickly regained his composure and explained, "Department Head Wang, I am trying hard to negotiate for the patent of Ephedra Syrup, but the price they had asked for is too high. We can't afford it at all, so we are still trying to find a way, I..."

"Is it because the asking price was too high, or because you requested too high of a price, Philip?" Department Head Wang interrupted.

Upon hearing this, Philip's heart skipped a beat. He was nervous, but he still pretended to be dumb. "Department Head Wang, I don't get what you mean. We're the ones buying the patent from them, why would I be the one to name the price?"

"Philip, are you still playing dumb? Don't you know that the production of the Ephedra Syrup is intrinsically related to the health of our people across the nation? How can you neglect their lives for your own personal profit?" Department Head

Wang shouted angrily.

Philip was thunderstruck. He wondered if Department Head Wang was aware of the truth. A sense of worry crept into his mind.

However, so long as Department Head Wang did not point it out directly, there was no way that Philip would turn himself in, "Department Head Wang, you are going too far. I, too, wish to complete the mission as soon as possible, but they insisted on such a high price. I could do nothing but..."

"Shut up!" Department Head Wang bellowed. "Philip, do you really think that I'm clueless?"

"Department Head Wang, what do you mean?" Nervousness overwhelmed Philip. Beads of perspiration began to drip down his forehead.

Department Head Wang shouted, "Philip, so you'd like to play dumb till the very end huhu."

"Fade Chen, who owns the patent of the Ephedra Syrup, had promised to grant us the license to manufacture the drug for free. However, you tried to force him to transfer the patent to your own company, Bulrush Pharma, for free instead. Do you think I'm unaware of this?"

Philip didn't expect that blunder he had been trying hard to conceal, would be discovered by Department Head Wang. Terror- stricken, Philip was at a loss of words.

"Save your chicanery. I already know everything," Department Head Wang said ragingly.

Philip immediately came up with an excuse, "Department Head Wang, I didn't do this for personal gain, but merely to make things easier for the production of the Ephedra Syrup!"

"You are still making excuses!" Department Head Wang admonished him in fury.

Philip gritted his teeth and explained, "Department Head Wang, you know that my team represents the Ministry of Health for the inspection, but to produce the drug on a larger scale, many pharmaceutical manufacturers are to be involved."

"But up to date, there is no manufacturer under the direct control of the Ministry of Health. If we want the involvement of these manufacturers in the production of the Ephedra Syrup, the process will be troublesome. So, I intended to transfer the patent to Bulrush Pharma in order to simplify the process in producing the drug on a large scale. After all, Bulrush Pharma is the top manufacturer in the pharmaceutical industry of China."

"I am doing this for the sake of the country and its people."

"Philip, do you actually believe the words you've said just now?" Department Head Wang said coldly, "Or are you treating me like a fool?"

At this moment, Philip was still trying his utmost best to defend himself and said, "Department Head Wang, I really have no intention other than saving everyone right now."

"Fade said that he allowed the Ministry to produce the Ephedra Syrup for free, but Department Head Wang, you also know that once the production and promotion of the Ephedra Syrup starts rolling throughout the country, it will be widely used, and the demand will be extremely high then."
