Hope

The purpose of her mentioning the banned drugs was to stall for time. She had heard others talk about Lu Ming Corporation, a rather large, powerful company. However, she felt that such a company would definitely have something to hide. So she used this excuse. She thought perhaps she had really guessed correctly. If that was the case, she would have done a great service and could justify not approving the medicine!

This would also please the higher-ups and cause the Lu Ming Corporation to become the subject of negative public opinion.

However, as always, reality turned out to be a little different. Not only did he not use banned drugs, but he even checked the ingredients carefully before handing the medicine over for review! She felt a headache coming on and held her forehead. Are all bosses so hands-on these days? He's actually so cautious. Even if she wanted to slander him, she could not find an excuse!

"Ah, well…"
