Chapter 2879: with translation of chapter title

2784.2676 Independent Director (Alliance Leader V Heaven V Extra Chapter 4)

Even Tang Liu only knew about the Cuban missile incident from books; younger people who aren't interested in history basically wouldn't know about this at all.

By now this incident should be considered a 'historical' event.

But who exactly is Mr. Luo Qie?

Looking at Johnson's expression, Tang Liu subconsciously closed her mouth and didn't pursue the question. She vaguely knew this was a person who didn't belong to her world.

"When Doctor Zheng received the Nobel Prize, the news came especially late, so only I could step forward. Actually, no matter who came, the result would be the same. Mr. Luo Qie would never appear in our sight; we could only watch him get off from afar."

Tang Liu listened silently.

"Later I saw Doctor Zheng and his two assistants go up, I saw it with my own eyes. There are many rumors about this in our circle, and I myself made some inferences." Johnson said, he lifted his head and glanced at Tang Liu, covered his face with his hand, and spoke in a muffled voice: "You must not anger Doctor Zheng later; if you don't want to bring trouble upon yourself."

Tang Liu thought, I'm not stupid; with such a big fuss, I still don't know what happened? But it's really strange—what exactly does Doctor Zheng want?

Johnson didn't say anything else; he began to grow silent, only occasionally exchanging words when the assistant in the front seat turned back to report.

In Tang Liu's imagination, the car should have driven to 912 Hospital.

But it passed the gate of 912 Hospital without entering, finally stopping in a residential area not far from the hospital.

"Greeting, may I ask if this is Doctor Zheng's home?" After pressing the doorbell, Johnson spoke in standard Mandarin.

"Uh… it's been so long, I didn't even know he could speak Mandarin! Tang Liu was astonished; this time it seemed they had driven him to a dead end."

"Chief Zheng isn't home; please contact him." A not-so-friendly, slightly cold voice came from the intercom. She didn't even ask who was calling, as if it didn't matter who it was to her.

"Then sorry for the disturbance." Johnson politely hung up the intercom, then slightly bowed to the door intercom, full of ceremony.

Tang Liu merely stood behind, silently watching; this usually ill-tempered executive actually bowed to the door intercom, expressing deep inner respect.

All of this indicated a problem—Tang Liu could no longer describe what she was thinking.

The continued silence made Johnson seem a bit annoyed, but he didn't return to the car; instead he stood straight at the unit entrance waiting.

This was preparing to wait for Doctor Zheng to come home and 'report' on follow-up matters regarding the instructions.

Tang Liu stood silently not far behind; her high heels made her feet sore, numb, and swollen, and her toes already felt the beginnings of blisters.

For someone her age, high heels are truly a burden, and Tang Liu felt a strange thought unrelated to the present situation arise in her mind.

Although uncomfortable, she wanted to immediately open her suitcase and change into flats, but Tang Liu didn't move; the situation had already exceeded her expectations, let alone any sense of control.

I don't know how long passed, Tang Liu felt her feet beginning to go numb. But suddenly Johnson moved; he was no longer stern, but laughing cheerfully.

"Doctor Zheng!" Johnson, like an old friend, welcomed him at First Time.

"Who are you?" Zheng Ren extended his hand, but he was somewhat surprised.

"I am the Chief Executive Officer of Huannuo Pharmaceutical's East Asia region; my Chinese name is Dale. You can call me Johnson or Dale." Johnson said amiably.

"Dale…… Zheng Ren felt…… this person's emotional intelligence is really damn high."

This rash visit had originally left me a bit unhappy, but the name Dale swept away all my emotions—it was simply incomparable to Fugui'er.

However, Zheng Ren just smiled, shook hands politely, and then asked, "Mr. Johnson, what brings you here this time?"

"From Professor Tang's email we learned you had valuable opinions on one of our drugs; based on your rich clinical experience we judged there should be other side effects. We firmly believe this, it's a work mistake. Accordingly, the company has contacted the European Medicines Agency, preparing to add warning information about this side effect."

"……"

Zheng Ren frowned, this seems a bit of making a mountain out of a molehill. I merely had Tang Liu do a check and casually made an analogy, but Huannuo Pharmaceutical actually went to great lengths to directly add side effects to the drug's instructions!

This matter has become quite laughable.

"Mr. Johnson." Su Yun raised her eyebrows.

"This must be Doctor Zheng's assistant, Doctor Su, right? Indeed, you're even more handsome than in the photo. Too bad my daughter is already married; otherwise I'd like to introduce her to you." Johnson hadn't greeted both of them yet because Zheng Ren hadn't given him the time upon arrival, going straight to the point.

Johnson had the data, knowing this person must not be offended.

Su Yun stared for a moment, then gave a helpless smile, shook hands with Johnson, and said, "Withdraw the application."

"……" Johnson stared for a moment.

"The situation is this: the boss merely mentioned it offhand; the real purpose is that Miss Tang has some kind of insulin-related immune disease, and taking sulfur-containing drugs causes hypoglycemic episodes." Su Yun said, "We have no other intention."

After saying that, he glanced at Zheng Ren and asked, "Is that right, Boss?"

Zheng Ren nodded.

Johnson reacted extremely quickly; he immediately took out a notebook and recorded Su Yun's words.

"Alright, I'll attend to this matter promptly." Johnson said, "Let Professor Tang be hospitalized as soon as possible for examination and corresponding treatment."

Zheng Ren smiled and glanced at the door.

"Doctor Zheng, this won't take much of your time." Johnson immediately said, "The last thing: according to the board's resolution, Huannuo Pharmaceutical wants to appoint you as an independent director."

As he spoke, Johnson's assistant behind him took out a document from his briefcase; Johnson took it and handed it over with both hands to Zheng Ren.

"This document is only a draft; if you have any dissatisfaction, we can contact you at any time."

Zheng Ren took the document, smiled, and said, "Independent director—I don't have time."

"The corresponding duties you'd bear are already noted, and they won't add more trouble for you." Johnson hurriedly said, "Then we won't disturb you; this is precious rest time, please forgive our eagerness for taking up your and your family's dinner time."

Having said that, he bowed and left, clean and efficient.

Tang Liu heard clearly… all her imaginings didn't exist—things like making money while standing, etc., had nothing to do with Doctor Zheng. Huannuo Pharmaceutical directly nominated an independent director!

What this meant, Tang Liu understood clearly.
