Chapter 508: Chapter 508: When You’re the Agent

Wang Qing returned to the CEO’s office only after being summoned by Ouyang Feifei. On her way back, she noticed that Ouyang Feifei’s secretary, Li Qingyu, was not at her post, which immediately caused her brow to furrow.
Several minutes passed before Li Qingyu returned, and Wang Qing immediately spoke up in reprimand.
Over the past half year, she had always felt that Li Qingyu’s behavior was a bit odd, but hadn’t discovered any major issues.
Moreover, Li Qingyu was Ouyang Feifei’s cousin from a side branch of the family and had some connection with the Ouyang Family.
Li Qingyu was competent, completing the tasks given to her with both quality and efficiency. In addition, her sweet appearance was much appreciated by Ouyang Feifei, so Wang Qing had not made things particularly difficult for this woman.
However, Wang Qing had not expected that an inquiry conducted in the course of official business that day would almost lead to her own ruination. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ouyang Feifei had called Wang Qing in to go over the cooperation agreement drafted a few days earlier with Luo Ziling.
The agreement with Luo Ziling was not assigned to anyone else to draft by Ouyang Feifei but was directly managed by Wang Qing, and even Li Qingyu was unaware of it.
Ouyang Feifei had quite a few people directly accountable to her, including several assistants and secretaries for work-related matters. Wang Qing was Ouyang Feifei’s most trusted person and was also in charge of managing the other assistants and secretaries around Ouyang Feifei, wielding astonishing authority. Apart from Wang Qing, Ouyang Feifei had two other assistants, one male and one female, and three secretaries, with Li Qingyu being just one of them; the other two were male secretaries.
What Wang Qing hadn’t expected was that Ouyang Feifei had brought Luo Ziling over that day to discuss business cooperation, and she had to take personal charge of the matter.
Ouyang Feifei’s intent to cooperate with Luo Ziling in the pharmaceutical field was something she had not disclosed to anyone before today, including Wang Qing, so Wang Qing was quite surprised upon learning of this.
Although Wang Qing didn’t have a good impression of Luo Ziling, believing this worthless man had hurt her goddess Ouyang Feifei, she was irked that Ouyang Feifei looked at this “scumbag” in a different light. Nonetheless, she had to admit that Luo Ziling’s medical skills were decent and he might provide a good cooperation project for Ouyang Feifei, so she took the matter very seriously.
While Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling were discussing the matter, she personally revised the cooperation document by their side.
The main framework of the cooperation had already been arranged by Ouyang Feifei herself, so Wang Qing only needed to take care of the rest of the details.
However, upon seeing the cooperation method drafted by Ouyang Feifei, Wang Qing was shocked. She wondered if Ouyang Feifei had been bewitched by Luo Ziling’s charm, because the drafted terms of cooperation simply did not seem characteristic of Ouyang Feifei’s style.
Having accompanied Ouyang Feifei to many business negotiations, Wang Qing knew that Ouyang Feifei always came across as shrewd and tough to negotiate with. Every cooperation agreement signed had always been very advantageous for the Ouyang Family, maximizing benefits and minimizing risks to the greatest extent. But this cooperation agreement did the opposite, maximizing risks and minimizing benefits.
What was more shocking was that, as the basis of the cooperation, Ouyang Feifei had even offered Luo Ziling shares in two listed pharmaceutical companies, amounting to as much as one percent of the shares. Given that the market value of those two pharmaceutical companies was nearly ten billion each, one percent equated to a market value of around two billion. How could that Luo guy be entitled to such benefits?
Therefore, after seeing the foundational terms of cooperation, she couldn’t help but walk over to Ouyang Feifei to ask if there had been some mistake.
“`
“That’s right,” Ouyang Feifei confirmed to Wang Qing, “just write the specific contract according to the framework I’ve drafted.”
Wang Qing immediately realized that the young lady must have been charmed by Luo Ziling’s handsome scheming, otherwise, she wouldn’t have lost her reason like this.
After Luo Ziling left, she intended to seriously advise Ouyang Feifei to avoid making another mistake.
At the same time, she also planned to warn Luo Ziling not to play any tricks in front of Ouyang Feifei, or else he would be asking for trouble.
What Wang Qing didn’t expect was that Luo Ziling wasn’t interested in the shares or the cooperative profits at all. His only requirement from Ouyang Feifei was to ensure the quality of the medicine; it couldn’t be neglected in the pursuit of production quantities.
If such a situation occurred, then their cooperation would be terminated immediately.
Of course, Luo Ziling had also taken measures to control the quality of the finished medicine himself.
In the formula for each type of finished medicine, one of the herbal ingredients had to be supplied by him. Luo Ziling demanded that this ingredient, provided by himself, be used in very small amounts but was crucial as the medicinal catalyst. Without this ingredient, the medicinal effect of the drug would be greatly reduced.
Ouyang Feifei agreed to Luo Ziling’s request without consideration and said she would purchase the herbs he provided at market price.
Initially, Ouyang Feifei thought Luo Ziling wanted to make money by supplying the herbs, but after hearing his explanation, she realized that wasn’t the case. He didn’t want to tarnish his own reputation and wanted to ensure that the key ingredients were wild-harvested, not cultivated artificially.
“Ziling, rest assured that these finished medicines will use the best quality ingredients under my demand; I will not allow inferior substitution. And the strictest pharmacological and other tests will be conducted. Only after all inspections are passed and you give your approval, will mass production begin,” Ouyang Feifei assured him and added, “This whole process might take about six months. That is, from the beginning of pilot production to the completion of all experiments and obtaining the approval documents necessary for mass production, it could take around half a year.”
“I’m not concerned with that,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “I just hope that once these medicines are produced, they will benefit more patients. That is what I hope to see. Oh, and I’m also planning to collaborate with the military on a drug that can rapidly promote wound healing, although I don’t know what benefits they will offer me.”
Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Ouyang Feifei was somewhat surprised and asked in confusion, “Then why don’t you collaborate with us on producing that drug?”
“I’ve made a promise to Li Haiyang,” Luo Ziling explained briefly, before proudly adding, “It’s a truly miraculous drug. The rate of wound recovery after applying it is beyond your imagination.”
Seeing such pride in Luo Ziling as he spoke, Ouyang Feifei immediately believed that it must indeed be a miraculous drug; otherwise, he wouldn’t show such a reaction. She suddenly felt a bit angry, feeling that Luo Ziling still didn’t trust her.
With such a miraculous medicinal recipe, he chose to collaborate with Li Haiyang instead of her.
However, she didn’t show it. After thinking for a moment, she immediately came up with another idea and promptly offered, “How about I negotiate the collaboration with Dragon Rise for you, acting as your agent? I will ensure that your interests are maximized.”
After voicing this thought, Ouyang Feifei immediately considered several other points. If she could act as Luo Ziling’s agent, managing those miraculous medicine recipes and finished medicinal formulations for him, it would bring immense benefits to the Ouyang Family!
