Chapter 458: The Only Purpose

“They’ll know how good you are when the epidemic breaks out on a large scale.”

Initially, Lu Ming still had a headache, but after hearing his wife’s comforting words, his smile could not help but become more genuine. He had to admit that he had thought of most of the situations that could happen, but he never expected that people would willingly give up their lives because of prejudice. For a moment, he did not know if these people were stupid or vigilant. This was completely opposite to his goal!

If it was really like the conspiracy theory in the blog post, what he wanted in the end was to save the lives of the people as much as possible.

“Maybe they don’t know that they’re being used as cannon fodder. If we don’t help them, who can save these people’s lives? The people are the easiest to incite. In addition, it’s a critical moment. Now that everyone is in a state of panic and unrest, it’s understandable for such a situation to happen.”

Lu Ming said rationally, “If you want to blame someone, blame Xingwei for leaving a bad impression on them. Tang Wenyi and Lu Yaohua have really caused us a lot of trouble. If there’s a chance in the future, I won’t let them off easily! For now, let’s do our best.”

He knew that ordinary people were only the surface layer, and the person who pushed things to a bad place was the real culprit! He had better not find out who the person behind this was! Otherwise… He sneered in his heart. He was just too lazy to care. It was not like he was a great resenter!

Did they think the money I invested was for fun?!

It wasn’t that he wasn’t angry after seeing these comments online, but the thought that these people would only get themselves killed if they didn’t buy preventive medicine made him feel sad. He had done everything he could. He couldn’t possibly beg them to take it, right?

Ignorance had a price.

This was the choice of those people. In a way, he was cold-blooded. In the end, it wasn’t like they were close to him. He would be happy with one more. It didn’t matter if there was one less.

Thinking of this, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He said to his subordinates, “Give those people a popular science lesson on the official website. If they don’t want to find out the truth themselves, we’ll hand it over personally.”

He did not believe that they would be able to resist the temptation when they were fed!

Lu Ming paused for a moment and continued, “In addition, I’ll get the publicity department to make some pamphlets about infectious diseases as soon as possible. When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble you to arrange for people to distribute these things. Then we’ll go to the laboratory to capture a few strong men and popularize our knowledge on the streets so that people will believe us as much as possible.”

He Xiaopeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He thought that from his boss’s point of view, he might curse or give up! He did not expect him to think of a solution so quickly. His bad mood due to the comments on the Internet calmed down immediately.

At first, he didn’t understand why his boss was still unwilling to give up on those people. Even if they died in the end, they deserved it! After all, there were still some people who took advantage of the public opinion to fabricate rumors about the upper echelons of the Lu Ming Corporation. For example, the rumor that the seeming harmony between his boss and his wife belied underlying disagreement. There was also the rumor that the two of them were promiscuous and even had illegitimate children! They even caused a huge commotion because of inheritance issues!

Another example was that he had taken a fancy to someone’s girlfriend and snatched her away!

He Xiaopeng was speechless. As expected, there was no cost to spreading rumors! He was still single. How could he have a girlfriend? He was only focused on work now! Not only that, but the rumors also implicated their families. This made him even angrier!

If not for the fact that he had yet to settle his matters, he would have beaten them up on the internet!

However, Lu Ming could still remain calm after knowing this. As expected of the boss he swore to follow for the rest of his life! In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He said, “Alright, Boss. I’ll do it immediately! Please wait for my good news.”

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Ming stopped him again. “Wait, I almost forgot the most important point.”

…

He Xiaopeng was quite fast. Before long, a few doctors in white coats appeared in the streets. An old man standing in the middle had taken the initiative to come. He also wanted to do his part in this matter! Hence, he took out a loudspeaker and said, “We belong to Lu Ming Corporation, the doctors of This Place!”

“We hope that everyone can listen to what we have to say next! Recently, there have been a lot of false statements related to preventive drugs circulating on the Internet. Let me explain. This Place No. 3 is the culmination of the efforts of many researchers! In order to save more people as soon as possible, we have tried to find the weakness of the infectious disease in a short period of time without sleeping or resting!”

He coughed a few times, but he still had no intention of stopping because some bystanders had already stopped to listen.

“From the beginning to the end, Lu Ming Corporation only wanted to save people. Moreover, this infectious disease is not a disaster for one person or a country! It’s a huge problem that concerns the survival of the entire human race! As doctors, we have the same goal and we treat everyone equally! We do not mess around with drugs!

If This Place No. 3 is a low-quality medicine, then let me die a horrible death! I’m certain that this medicine is fine! My family and I have already taken it. There won’t be any side effects. You can rest assured! If you’re willing to believe me, please tell your relatives and friends what I said.”

Next, he explained the Chinese medicinal ingredients used in This Place No. 3. The eyes of the medical students who happened to pass by instantly lit up. They quickly took out a pen and paper and began to record down what he was saying. Seeing that there were more and more people around, a burly middle-aged man said, “Bullsh*t! If it’s as useful as you said, would you need to explain it?”

Most of the onlookers’ thoughts were immediately led astray. This makes sense! As the saying goes, one would not be afraid of ghosts knocking on one’s door if one did not do anything wrong. Even though there was a huge commotion on the Internet, wouldn’t Lu Ming Corporation be stable if there was no problem? Those onlookers who were involved in medicine frowned. How could anyone treat an old man like this?

Given his standard, the old man was good enough to be their teacher’s teacher. They were already lucky to be able to listen to a lecture for free! In the end, someone even instigated them?!

“Did you not brush your teeth? It stinks! Do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?!”

“How embarrassing! Don’t tell me this is how you treat your elders? You have no manners at all!”

“Brother, can you calm down? Let the old man finish first!”

…

But soon, their voices were drowned out by the crowd!
