"It's alright. We're a new company and haven't hired anyone yet. Your visit is a great help to us. Beibei can come to the company often in the future; many of her colleagues like her very much."
“Well…” Grandma Beibei glanced at her granddaughter standing beside her and nodded in agreement, “Thank you, Xiaolin! I’m an old woman, I’ll definitely do my job well and not embarrass you.”
Afterwards, Lin Yao taught Bei Bei a few new words. Seeing that a little girl who could go to junior high school was still struggling to learn a third-grade elementary school textbook, Lin Yao felt even more heartbroken.
Unlike Lin Yao, who was heartbroken, Bei Bei was happy and content.
Beibei felt today was the most meaningful day because Uncle Lin told her that Grandma's illness was cured because she took a very special medicine he brought, which was exactly the right medicine to treat Grandma's illness. Then, a week later, Grandma got a job, and Beibei was able to go back to school. Thinking about all this made her happy. She hummed a song as she busied herself boiling water and wiping Grandma's body. Uncle Lin sat in the hallway outside the door. These days were simply too wonderful.
The phone rang, and Lin Yao answered it.
It was a call from Lin Hongmei, the mother. The bank finally couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing that Lin Yao and Min Hong had no response, they began to use the rules to urge repayment, on the grounds that the way the loan was used posed a huge risk and was speculative in nature.
"Mom, I'll handle the money. The thing I told you about last time is in progress. We've already developed dozens of members overseas, all of whom are my former patients. I heard there are a lot of people wanting to join. As long as they come to Beijing, we can secure a spot, and the membership fee will be paid immediately afterward."
Lin Yao felt a surge of anger, but it wasn't too intense, because he had anticipated this situation, and his self-control had improved considerably.
"Mom, I might as well just reveal it now. Actually, everyone knows who I am, they just didn't expect that I'm your son. It shouldn't be a problem to borrow money from foreign institutions in my name. Just give me the total amount, and I'll call to ask for the money as soon as I get it."
There's no need to hide it anymore. Everyone knows Angel's identity anyway, and everyone knows she belongs to Minhong. It's better to just reveal her identity. International loans shouldn't be a problem.
"Yao'er, we need 12.4 billion US dollars to pay off the bank loan. Can you get that much?!"
Lin Hongmei herself was also startled by the number, and her tone was very uncertain.
"No problem, at most they'll just hand me over to them."
Lin Yao was very confident, then his tone turned fierce, "Mom, we can't just let this go. Let's close a few hospitals. Let's close the hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Taiyuan first. Anyway, these places are rented houses, so just say we don't have money."
“Okay, let’s do it this way. We can’t just take the beating without fighting back. I’ll talk to your dad right away.”
Lin Hongmei also lost her temper. Since obtaining "human nuclear power", she has become bolder and more open-minded. She doesn't care about the impact of these things at all. Anyway, her son Lin Yao will hold up the sky if it falls. If all else fails, she can go abroad. Lin Hongmei, who has never fought before, also wants to have a good fight with people and enjoy herself to the fullest.

Chapter 341 Hospital Closes (First Update)

Minhong Pharmaceutical is destined to be a dazzling star company. Whether praised or criticized, it always manages to attract attention and create a huge stir.
Minhong Hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, and Taiyuan were closed immediately, and the reopening date is nowhere in sight. Minhong has not even given a definite time or a way to deal with the problem, only saying that Minhong's membership is still valid in existing hospitals and clinics across the country.
In addition to the three hospitals mentioned above, Minhong also closed hospitals and clinics in areas with numerous legal disputes. On the same day, a total of 142 hospitals across the country were closed, which naturally caused a great social reaction. This is because in these cities, many Minhong members have become accustomed to using those cheap and highly effective drugs, especially "children's cold granules" and "cold capsules" for adults.
For members in areas where hospitals and clinics have been closed, who have already been granted special access to purchase "Hepatitis B Granules," Minhong promises that this qualification remains valid. However, members must travel to Minhong hospitals in other areas to purchase the medication. This purchase and administration cannot be completed in one go; members will need to travel to surrounding areas several times. This is because Minhong still requires members to purchase and administer the medication in person, and the entire process is monitored by video.
Many members who purchased the "skin whitening and rejuvenation powder" took the opportunity to offer to prepay fees, as long as Minhong agreed to supply the medicine in unlimited quantities. They were thinking of taking advantage of Minhong Pharmaceutical's financial difficulties to gain more opportunities to enjoy "skin whitening." Of course, there were also members who genuinely accepted and agreed with Minhong Pharmaceutical and simply wanted to help Minhong overcome its difficulties through a win-win approach.
Min Hong rejected this request. Luo Jimin and Lin Hongmei's family disliked and were unwilling to accept the common fundraising method of collecting fees in advance.
Once fees are collected in advance, hospitals and clinics in any city must operate year-round, otherwise there will be endless trouble and disputes, and if a lawsuit is filed, Minhong will lose the upper hand, which is something they do not want to see.
The bank gave Minhong a one-month deadline, meaning he had to find a way to repay the loan within a month, either by using connections to postpone repayment or by paying money.
A month is roughly the minimum timeframe for such a large loan repayment. Clearly, those who support Minhong don't have much patience and aren't prepared to give Minhong much time to maneuver. What they want is for Minhong to submit and bow down in the face of swift and decisive action.
Having experienced the feeling of being a hermit, Luo Jimin and Lin Hongmei also went all out this time, responding with the most direct means—all personnel in the bank at the middle and upper levels had their Minhong membership revoked.
The so-called middle and senior management positions mentioned here refer to cadres at or above the section level in the banking system. This is done for legitimate reasons and under legitimate rules, because there is a clause in the Minhong Member Agreement that is very applicable.
"Party A has the right to cancel Party B's membership at any time and terminate Party B's continued enjoyment of membership rights. If Party B is charged any additional fees other than those for purchasing products, Party A shall refund the full amount when canceling Party B's membership, without calculating interest or other value-added fees."
This agreement, which resembled a predatory contract, was directly exploited by Luo Jimin and Lin Hongmei. They not only canceled the memberships of some bank system personnel but also those of their immediate family members. This was largely thanks to the detailed real-name registration and social relationship registration system, as well as the assistance of the whistleblowing system.
These days, everyone has to offend a few people at work. Once Minhong reacted in this way, someone naturally reported the information of the relatives of those bank cadres. Luo Jimin and Lin Hongmei didn't even verify it before canceling the memberships. If there was a mistake later, they would restore the memberships of those "relatives". This can be considered a swift and decisive way to deal with the loan repayment incident.
At the same time, in order to enhance the value of the Minhong membership, Luo Jimin and his family discussed and launched another medicine, "Caring Granules".
"Caring Granules" is a medicine specifically designed to regulate women's health. Its effects are similar to those of other conditioning medicines such as "Hua Hong Pian," "Fu Ke Qian Jin Pian," and "Wu Ji Bai Feng Wan," but its effects are much stronger. This granule not only has significant therapeutic effects, but after taking three doses as a course of treatment, the conditioning period can be extended to three months, making it one of the most effective and longest-lasting functional medicines on the market.
Originally planned to be priced at 28 yuan, the "Caring Powder" was raised to 58 yuan at the suggestion of Lin Hongmei, who was aware of the potential difficulties, more than doubling the price. This ensured sufficient profit margins, although it went against the previous principles. However, this price adjustment was unavoidable, because Minhong might face difficulties at any time in the future, and without reserving some profit, there would be no funds to support the company when new problems arose.
For members who voluntarily apply for public disclosure, the price offered by "Caring Powder" remains at 28 yuan, which is intended to encourage everyone to voluntarily disclose information, accept social supervision, and thus restrain their social behavior.
This has led to a further tiering of membership qualifications. One type is the ordinary, unverified Tier 3 member; the second type is the Tier 3 member who voluntarily discloses their information; and the third type is the Tier 3 member who is granted the right to purchase "Hepatitis B Granules" through a lottery system by Minhong.
This complex membership system owes much to Gou Xiaogou's thorough consideration in building the system architecture, which makes system adjustments and upgrades very easy. This is also a system that China's first hacker created with all his might out of gratitude and recognition, and he continues to pay attention to and improve it.
Lin Yao, who is in Beijing, has also been quite emotionally unstable these days. On the one hand, he takes things very calmly, observing everything with the detachment of an outsider, as if Minhong is not his business.
On the other hand, he was also a little nervous and worried. Minhong had struggled to grow to this point and had reached a fairly large scale. If it suffered a major blow because of this and could not recover, he would not be willing to accept it.
Minhong, a project that embodies the collective will of his family and friends like Wen Youmin and Wu Jianwei, cannot afford to fall apart. Moreover, through his experiences in the world, Lin Yao has come to realize that there are many people in this world who are as miserable as he once was, and whose family circumstances and lives are even worse than his. Therefore, he has a strong desire to change all of this and to help those who need help the most.
Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand the suffering and the yearning to change their lives. At this moment, Lin Yao felt that he was a brother to the poor people, and he did not want anyone else to suffer the despair and pain he had experienced.
Two extremely contradictory mindsets were entangled in Lin Yao's mind, which greatly affected his work and life in the past few days, and even his training had not made any progress.
"Boss, I'm so frustrated!"
