The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

In the office, Dean Fang personally poured her a glass of water.

His expression was serious, tinged with heartache, and he got straight to the point.

"Fu Hua, you should know about all those messy rumors circulating outside."

Fu Hua nodded.

Dean Fang said solemnly, "I can tell you clearly that our hospital has followed up on your project from start to finish. All procedures are compliant and legal, the project has been approved and reviewed completely, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

The entire medical community is talking about you now; it's obvious someone is deliberately sabotaging you, trying to suppress you and smear your reputation.

Dean Fang looked at her and asked earnestly:

"Should the hospital step in and help you hold an internal briefing or a small press conference?"

We will make all compliance documents and project materials public to directly debunk these rumors and clear your name.

Also, do you know who is deliberately targeting you behind your back?

Fu Hua sat quietly, her expression knowing:

"Dean Fang, thank you for your support and kindness."

There's no need to clarify in a meeting right now. The more eager you are to explain, the easier it is for others to find fault with you and drag things out endlessly.

She looked up, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "I know who did it."

Apart from Kang Hua's side, there was no one else.

She had anticipated this situation from the moment she had Tan Rongrong hand over the fake experimental data to them.

"So we're just going to do nothing and sit idly by?"

Dean Fang was worried for Fu Hua.

Sometimes, you really have to admire this girl's self-control.

He was born to do great things.

"I did not stand idly by."

Fu Hua looked out the window at the poplar trees, their leaves shimmering with silver light.

The rise and fall of an empire is an immutable truth.

"During this time, I have been secretly gathering evidence."

This includes all clues related to maliciously spreading rumors, unfair business competition, and privately soliciting illegal cooperation with hospitals.

Once all the evidence is collected, I will pursue it further; I won't just keep taking the hits.

Upon hearing this, Dean Fang frowned deeply, and his face darkened.

I never expected Kang Hua to use such despicable methods.

She sighed heavily and repeatedly instructed Fu Hua.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to the hospital at any time.

Anzhen will always stand behind her and fully support her research projects.

After a brief chat about future collaborations within the hospital and arrangements for clinical coordination, Fu Hua took her leave.

Meanwhile, Kang Hua's actions did not stop at all.

Shi Zhong listened to his mentor's advice and took advantage of his previous efforts to spread rumors and disrupt the industry's direction.

Holding the pre-prepared product information and cooperation plan in hand,

There are also a bunch of bargaining chips used to secretly pull strings.

I drove to Fuwai Hospital once again.

This time, he had a clear goal and went straight to Dean Li's office.

With the groundwork laid by previous negotiations, and now with Fu Hua's reputation damaged,

Restricted at every turn, the entire research project was embroiled in a public opinion storm.

Being on the defensive in every situation presented him with the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Dr. Liu was waiting by the side, ready to lend a hand and provide assistance from both inside and outside.

With a confident smile, Shi Zhong knocked on Dean Li's door.

A new round of coercion and negotiation has officially begun.

Dean Li was unable to make up his mind.

On one hand, there are tangible benefits for Kang Hua, and on the other hand, there are threats from his network of connections.

On the one hand, they felt that Fu Hua's project was reliable.

I'm terrified that one wrong step will lead to a series of mistakes.

Seeing that Dean Li was still unable to make a decision, Shi Chong decided to give him a push.

"Dean Li, we're all insiders. Everyone knows about our connections in the local medical community, the light industry system, and the science and technology commission."

"Kanghua is a long-established manufacturer with deep roots. We manage our relationships with upstream and downstream channels and relevant government departments very well."

"If the hospital doesn't give them any face and insists on fighting to the bitter end..."

After that, the hospital procured equipment, approved projects, and applied for research funding.

There are bound to be obstacles at every turn, strict reviews at every stage, and a lot of trouble, which is not good for anyone.

"Leave a way out for yourself in everything you do, so you can meet again in the future. Don't you agree?"

After saying that, Shi Zhong added one last sentence: "Today, I'll also tell you the truth: Fu Hua's team's technology doesn't have any unique barriers to entry."

We had already made the improvements and arranged for mass production ahead of time.

Even if she eventually goes public, she can't compete with Kanghua in terms of market share, distribution channels, or supply capabilities. Her project will fail sooner or later.

It would be best to choose a reliable partner sooner rather than later; it's the best option for both the hospital and you.

These words offered ample benefits, effectively suppressed the opponent, and clearly pointed out the threats.

Dr. Liu, who was standing next to him, kept chiming in, saying that Kanghua was strong, had a stable supply, and offered many benefits.

Dean Li sat there in silence for a long time, his expression changing repeatedly.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in my mind, I finally gave in.

He nodded: "Okay, Mr. Shi, I understand what you mean. Fuwai Hospital is willing to cooperate with Kanghua."

Shi Zhong immediately revealed a smug smile, and quickly stood up to shake hands with Dean Li.

He shook it vigorously: "Thank you for your trust, Dean. It's been a pleasure working with you; we're sure to achieve mutual benefit in the future!"

As Shi Zhong walked out of the dean's office, a smile he couldn't suppress curled upwards at the corners of his mouth.

He exuded an air of self-satisfaction.

What dean? It's a piece of cake.

My cousin is really good; he wins people over by attacking their hearts and minds—the best strategy.

Dr. Liu lowered her voice and asked, "Did Dean Li sign the contract?"

Shi Zhong gave a smug snort and patted his shoulder: "All set, I've got his mind figured out long ago."

Your dean has too many concerns; he's afraid of taking responsibility and being investigated by higher-ups.

Add to that our connections and the benefits we offer, and he wouldn't dare refuse.

Dr. Liu smiled obsequiously, her eyes crinkling together: "President Shi is truly remarkable, using both soft and hard tactics to get to the heart of the matter in just a few words."

Now Fuwai is completely on our side, and Fu Hua's little team is completely hopeless.

"That's natural."

Shi Zhong sneered, "Sever her clinical collaborations and spread rumors. Let's see how she can hold on."

From now on, Kanghua will have complete control over the supply of medical supplies in this area.

Fuwai Hospital acted swiftly, having just finalized a cooperation agreement with Kanghua.

They immediately and unilaterally terminated the cooperation agreement with Fu Hua's team without even giving prior notice.

Two days later, a staff member delivered a breach of contract fee to the lab, placing it coldly on the table.

Without offering a single word of explanation, he turned and left, his attitude as cold as could be.

Everyone was furious, their faces turning ashen.

Everyone was talking at once, their voices filled with anger and anxiety.

The atmosphere in the laboratory was extremely oppressive.

Fu Hua stared calmly at the breach of contract fee on the table.

There was no sign of panic on his face, and his eyes were exceptionally firm.

She raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a calm voice, "I'll say it again, everyone, don't panic, don't lose your composure."

Getting angry or complaining won't solve the problem. Fuwai unilaterally breached the contract, violated the cooperation agreement, and damaged our team's interests. Without hesitation, we filed a lawsuit.

She looked at the money, her eyes cold and unyielding: "Let's accept this breach of contract fee first, and keep it as evidence in the lawsuit."

Kanghua has been engaging in underhanded tactics behind the scenes, including maliciously spreading rumors, commercial suppression, and coercing hospitals into breaching contracts. We'll settle these scores slowly.

"The project will not stop, and research and development will not stop either. Neither rumors, suppression, nor breach of contract can stop us."

"I'll handle the litigation. Everyone, focus on your research and solidify your technical skills. Leave the rest to me."
