Tokyo Detective

Chapter 339 Mai, you've gotten even bigger (fatter)?
The two elderly people nodded in agreement without hesitation, and the group then toured several departments of the company.

They also knew that Tianyu Qilin had several factories, including a biopharmaceutical factory with 1200 employees, used for complex processes such as cell culture and purification.

A chemical pharmaceutical factory needs 500 people, but because of its high degree of automation, the number of employees required is not large.

Medical device factory, 1500 employees.

These three are mass production factories, and there is also a research and development factory with 240 employees, 60% of whom are scientists, doctors, and other technical personnel.

In other words, the entire Tianyu Kirin Company has more than 4000 employees, which is already the scale of a large pharmaceutical factory in Japan.

Of course, these factories could not be located in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. They also had factories in Ota Ward, Nerima Ward, and even Chiba City.

Inside the meeting room, Naoki Hanyu sat in the chairman's seat, looking at the dozen or so high-ranking officials present.

"I would like to thank everyone for attending today's meeting."

After a series of opening remarks, Naoki Hanyu got down to business, with the first point being accountability.

"Production manager, can you tell me why the infected production line hasn't been dealt with yet?"

A middle-aged woman, still possessing a certain charm, stood up and answered the chairman's question hesitantly.

"The production line has been mostly cleared, and we estimate that we can resume operations next month."

"Hehe, next month, you've been working on microbial infections for a whole year. Miss Gonglin, could you please present the report you found at the conference?"

Eri Miyazaki stood up and responded coldly, saying words that made the production manager turn pale.

"On October 17, the production line was infected by multiple microorganisms. The new drug was still being produced from that day until the 19th. Although the problematic drug was later recalled, the compensation and fines amounted to 36 billion yuan."

The production manager only agreed to report the isolation of the contaminated area two days after the incident, and was deemed to have a severe infection. Over the past year, they have applied to purchase cleaning supplies three times, spending 11 billion.

"But after my investigation, I found that the purchased materials were not used up at all and were resold by the production manager. In addition to other factors, the production manager embezzled a total of 8 million."

"."

The production manager looked at the president in horror, while the old president closed his eyes and remained silent.

Eri Miyazaki said calmly.

"Although I can't find your location inside the contaminated production line, the charge of embezzlement is enough to call the police."

"."

The production manager slumped helplessly in his chair. Seeing that everyone was silent, he was so frightened that he begged the chairman for mercy.

"That's not how it is. It was a mistake by the technicians that led to the purchase of cleaning products that we couldn't use. I was just greedy for a moment. Please forgive me this time, since I'm a veteran of the company. I will make up for the embezzled money."

Naoki Hanyu did not respond and gestured to the security guards to take the person away.

Due to production line issues, Tianyu Qilin suffered economic losses of tens or even hundreds of billions of yuan, since a high-precision drug requires specialized production tools.

These items need to be ordered months in advance, so the compensation for these orders is enough to bring Tianyu Qilin its first disaster.
.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense. No one in the senior management dared to speak. The big boss had just dismissed a minister.

Naoki Hanyu looked at the head of the research and development department.

"Minister Kamikawa, can you tell me why your R&D department made two major mistakes in just one year? First, the product had side effects that were not reported, and then the R&D project was forced to stop."

The elderly man, named Takao Kamikawa, explained with a forced smile.

"The research and development project was forced to stop because the clinical trials failed, and no matter what methods we used, we could not continue."

"How do you explain the serious side effects of the product that is about to be launched?"

"."

Kamikawa Takao wanted to say that it was his apprentice's negligence that caused the problem, but as the minister, he could not escape responsibility.

Naoki Hanyu didn't want to waste too much breath, since after today everyone in the company would say he was a nepotist.

"Professor Kamikawa, you are demoted to vice minister, but you will still command the first research and development team."

At its peak, Longgao Group had five R&D teams, but now only three remain.

Another minister has been dismissed, and now everyone at the top is truly on edge.

Naoki Hanyu looked at Masami Matsumoto.

"The position of Minister will be held by Masami Matsumoto, who will also be in charge of forming the fourth research and development team."

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the attendees, and the president and managing director almost lost their composure.

They recalled an absurd incident: in one of America's hypersonic missile development teams, one of the researchers was a prostitute who had been forced into the role.

The new minister is very beautiful, which raises suspicion.

Masami Matsumoto nodded to everyone in greeting, then looked at the nearly 70-year-old Takao Kamikawa.

"Professor Kamikawa, it's been a long time. Thank you for your guidance back then."

This statement suggests that Masami Matsumoto was once a student of the former department head.

"You are, you are Masami Matsumoto, and your father is Hiroshi Matsumoto."

"Yes, please give me your guidance."

Kamikawa Takao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He remembered this girl; he had taught her for a year when he was teaching at the University of Tokyo. He never expected that she would become his boss now.

"We'll talk about it after the teacher and student recognize each other," Naoki Yuzuru continued.

"Is it true that the R&D department reports that the latest product for Parkinson's disease has passed drug testing?"

Kamikawa Takao took a deep breath.

"It's true. The new product is 20% more effective than the Madopar and Sinemet on the market, and the finished product is only half the price of the two mentioned above."

"Very good, send it to PMDA (Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Organization) for testing as soon as possible."

"Yes."

In Japan, the review of new drugs and medical devices first requires testing by the PMDA (Pharmaceutical, Medical and Health Administration). After passing the PMDA's review, the results are sent to the Medical, Health and Welfare Bureau of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for final approval.

Under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will directly cite the data measured by PMDA, since its own testing instruments are even slightly inferior to PMDA's.

The main course for today is finished, and the discussion will soon come to an end.

Naoki Hanyu was actually quite satisfied with the meeting. With the release of the new drug, the company's stock price could at least stop falling, and a slow recovery should not be a problem.
.
Inside the R&D factory, Kamikawa Takao introduced Matsumoto Masami to everyone in the R&D department.

When these researchers learned that their boss was a beautiful 32-year-old woman, many of them felt indignant, wondering why she, a professor, had the right to order them around.

Masami Matsumoto didn't care about her new subordinate's attitude, but Takao Kamikawa was curious about her past as a student. "Matsumoto, I heard you work as a forensic pathologist?"

Masami Matsumoto did not hide anything.

"Yes, I worked as a forensic pathologist after graduation, and later passed the medical doctoral entrance exam at the University of Tokyo. Now I am a medical lecturer at the University of Tokyo."

"I see."

Kamikawa Takao sighed. Although this resume was above average among the students he had taught, this was the leader of the research and development team. In his view, his former students were just there to gain experience.

Masami Matsumoto, of course, knew what her former teacher and current deputy was probably thinking, so she spoke frankly.

“Professor, Naoki needs someone he can completely trust to lead the R&D department, and our fourth R&D team is not starting from scratch. I will take over some of his semi-finished research.”

"A half-finished product, complete trust, so you're in a romantic relationship?"

"kindness."

As time went by, Tenyu Kirin's new drug finally passed the PMDA's review, and Naoki Hanyu became a hands-off manager, going out on a field mission for the first time in a long time.

It was a good opportunity to bring my apprentice along to see the results of my teaching, with the apprentice directing the entire process.

Soon after, a murder suspect broke through the door and fled, running wildly down the snow-covered highway.

Naoki Hanyu explained calmly.

"Mai, you chase after them from the front, I'll flank them."

Fujiwara Mai was taken aback for a moment.

"Senior, your words should be able to catch him."

"Didn't I say I was only going to assist this time? Run fast, or the prisoner will escape."

As Fujiwara Mai watched the prisoner's retreating figure, she gritted her teeth, took off her suit jacket, and chased after him.

"I can do it, I'm a long-distance running champion at the municipal sports meet."

Fujiwara Mai ran at full speed, her ample breasts bouncing up and down even through the thick clothes.

"Don't run, or I'll shoot."

Fujiwara Mai did consider shooting the criminal to end the matter, but she didn't have a weapon to frame him, and there were surveillance cameras on the street, which could potentially cause her trouble.

Why can the older generation hide their pistols, but I can't find a place to hide mine?

As she ran, Mai Fujiwara used her communicator to inform the suspect of his escape route, allowing police along the way to provide support and intercept him.

The two ran and chased each other for three kilometers. Fujiwara Mai felt a lack of oxygen in her brain and chest pain. Sure enough, if the size is too big, running at full speed will have a serious impact.

Seeing that the suspect was heading towards a commercial street where many people were shopping, she couldn't help but shout out loud.

"I'm a police officer, suspect in front, stop immediately."

It's impossible to directly ask ordinary people to stop the criminal; one can only indirectly remind others to help intercept him.

However, what happened next left the policewoman dumbfounded. She saw some children cheering her on, followed by adults, but no one was willing to step forward and help her.

"Go, policewoman!"

"Police sister, you can't lose!"

"Officer, run! The criminal is trying to escape!"

Some audience members were whispering to each other.

"Wow, that policewoman's chest is amazing."

"."

Can't someone step forward and help me? I'm about to run out of breath.

As she chased after leaving the shopping street, if someone hadn't said today was a test, Fujiwara Mai might have given up.

"My calves hurt, my thighs hurt, my lower abdomen hurts, my kidneys hurt, my chest hurts, my throat hurts, my head hurts, senior, where is the encirclement you mentioned?"

Fujiwara Mai couldn't help but recall the days when she was at the bottom of the running class at the police academy, and an idea popped into her mind.

Lie down, like when you were in school, and you won't suffer; at most, you'll get scolded by your seniors.

"No, I don't want to."

Fujiwara Mai rushed forward with all her might and tackled the prisoner. Despite the fact that the other man was a city running champion, the fact that his shoes were not suitable for running on snow made the gap close.

Sweat soaked Fujiwara Mai's clothes, making her feel a bit colder. The next second, a familiar figure finally appeared and took the prisoner away.

"Senior, I can't walk anymore, carry me."

Naoki Hanyu shook his head as he looked at his apprentice, who was covered in snow.

"No, you're too dirty."

Fujiwara Mai blushed slightly as she retorted.

"It's all because the senior broke his promise. He clearly said he would surround him, but I was the one chasing after him the whole time. The senior broke his promise."

Before Fujiwara Mai could finish speaking, she was picked up by Hanyu Naoki and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Is this alright? By the way, aren't you bigger now?"

"."

Naoki Hanyu was right; he felt that the fullness pressing against his back seemed a little too much.

If that's true, it's terrifying. It's already big enough, but it's still growing. Ten children couldn't finish eating it.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. The reason why Naoki Hanyu didn't flank them was because he received a call from Kirin Corporation, informing him that the new drug was stuck in the final review stage at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Fujiwara Mai was unaware of her senior's troubles, only feeling comforted by his warm body. She couldn't help but hug him tighter and whisper in his ear.

She wanted to take the initiative.

"Senior, would you prefer a bigger or a smaller one?"

"Did you gain weight from eating too much?"

"."
