Xu Qingru is an activist.
After receiving the task, he immediately started researching with Ren Erdong: "The evidence of the lifetime commission system is of course crucial, but if there is no real case, it is still insignificant and it is just a business scandal at best. We lack news that cares about people's livelihood. From the beginning."
In the field of news gathering, editing and broadcasting, Ren Erdong is still a newcomer: "What kind of news source do we need?"
"It was the victims of this incident who broke the news and defended their rights. We intervened in the investigation and brought out the entire incident."
Xu Qingru sighed and revealed some inside information that Ren Erdong didn't know before.
In fact, the reason why Lu Yanxia arranged for reporters to investigate TPC Company undercover was because Qianhai Medical Master Zhou Ningchen sadly broke the news: "Some medical representatives are using profits as bait to manipulate local doctors to prescribe growth hormone indiscriminately to healthy children. In order to boost sales, They even promised doctors a 'lifetime commission system'. As long as they develop a 'child', the sales commission can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands."
According to Mr. Zhou, a considerable number of children have idiopathic short stature. The abuse of growth hormone is not only ineffective, but also produces many side effects!
When doing news investigation, it is important to see people and things, and have real evidence. It is not enough to just rely on the words of an old man.
Lu Yanxia arranged for reporters to stay in multiple hospitals, but no such case was found.
They also tried to arrange for Xu Qingru to go undercover at TPC, but after understanding the interview process, they realized that foreign companies recruit not only good-looking people, but also medical-related majors, preferably those with relevant backgrounds in hospitals. In addition, before joining the job The company also needs to conduct background checks, and the HR manager can find out the true identity of each reporter by simply accessing social security payment records.
The column team had no choice but to recruit Ren Erdong, a fresh graduate majoring in pharmacy, and sent him to TPC Company as an undercover agent before the "spring recruitment" ended.
But even if Ren Erdong can successfully obtain the evidence, the news produced in this way is still a bit like shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target. It seems that the column team deliberately targeted TPC Company. After all, it is flawed.
Ren Erdong thought about the time he met Li Qian's mother and son in the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University. Could Liang Wei, a young man with scoliosis, be the victim that the column team was looking for?
Xu Qingru's eyes shone: "Is there really such a case? Then you have made a great contribution!"
Ren Erdong was not happy: "But how should I tell this mother and son? I can't just tell them to stop the medicine immediately. It's the injection that caused the child's scoliosis, right?"
"Of course not! First of all, you have no evidence to prove that this child's condition is directly related to growth hormone; secondly, people's hearts are unpredictable. What if this family went to the company to make trouble and sold you for profit? In our industry , I have seen too many cases of kindness being repaid with hatred."
Xu Qingru suggested that he first establish trust with Li Qian, learn more about the children's medication use, observe the parents' character, and then tell the truth when the time is right.
An idea flashed in Ren Erdong's mind, and he immediately sent a WeChat message to contact Li Qian: "Hello, Sister Li, our company has a patient education policy that provides free medicine to patients with certain indications, and also tracks and guides medication use..."
He quickly made an appointment with Li Qian to meet and talk in detail. He didn't expect that Xu Qingru would also go together: "Of course I will follow. I will also write a manuscript about her children's cases in the future. How can I dare to write without doing interviews?"
"But how do I introduce you to her?"
"Well, you just need to tell her that I am a reporter. We are dating and we just happened to drop by."
She said true and false lies are the hardest to expose.
They had lunch in the TV station cafeteria and talked a lot about news business. While Ren Erdong was greatly inspired, he vaguely found the shadow of Lu Yanxia in her.
In the afternoon, the two came out of the Radio and Television Building and took a taxi to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Qianhai Medical University.
Li Qian was dubious about this kind of free medicine that was delivered to her door, so she arranged to meet at the hospital. On the one hand, she happened to be bringing her son to pick up the last custom-made orthotic brace, and on the other hand, she also wanted to find a doctor to take a look at the medicine. How on earth.
This kind of precaution is human nature, and Ren Erdong understands it very well.
But Chen Chen, an orthopedic doctor in the hospital, was very annoyed when he saw him: "Why are you here again? Please register for medical treatment and go out to sell medicine. You will not be received!"
He was also noncommittal to Li Qian's inquiry about the new drug: "I don't know much about this drug, so I can't give an opinion."
Although Ren Erdong was kicked out again, he was in a good mood: "It's a good thing that the doctor didn't explicitly object."
He explained it to Li Qian in the corridor. Fortunately, he had all the information he brought with him. The academic information, phase III clinical data, and national marketing approval documents were all very convincing.
The only drawback is that Lamicoxib is a purely imported prescription drug. Even if he has the goods, he does not have the right to sell the drug directly to anyone. He must go to other hospitals to find a doctor to write a prescription to comply with the regulations.
When Li Qian heard this, she completely let down her guard. Since other hospitals recognized this medicine, there must be nothing wrong with it.
After leaving the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University, the slanting wind and drizzle continued. Ren Erdong received a call from Liu Dezhi, asking him to return to TPC Company immediately for a meeting.
But where can he go now?
He first took a taxi with Li Qian and her son to the Municipal People's Hospital to set up a convenience clinic. With Zhu Jingshu's efforts, the hospital has successfully introduced this new drug.
The outpatient doctor simply inspected Liang Wei's condition and confirmed that it was suitable, and then prescribed two boxes. Each box sold for 128 yuan and contained only 8 pills.
Ren Erdong paid for the medicine out of his own pocket because he boasted that the company had a drug donation activity.
Li Qian accepted the two boxes of medicine with a smile: "Thank you so much. I'll go back and let my child try it."
In her opinion, TPC Company has made nearly 200,000 yuan from selling height-increasing injections, so it is natural to give away two boxes of medicine. This "advantage" cannot be taken advantage of.
Ren Erdong looked at Liang Wei, a young man who had just put on the corrective brace and was not used to it. He secretly blamed himself. In fact, the top priority should be to stop injecting growth hormone first.
Ignoring Xu Qingru's look that told her to shut up, he still hinted at the child's mother: "Sister Li, I checked the information and found that scoliosis in adolescents is mostly related to rapid growth and development. I see that your child is not too short, so Do I still need to continue taking height-increasing injections?”
Li Qian's attitude was extremely firm: "Of course I have to keep fighting! I spent so much money and it's just getting better, how can I waste all my efforts!"
"Then what if... the child grows too fast and aggravates scoliosis?"
Li Qian looked at her son with a look of distress and helplessness: "Scoliosis is not incurable, but the child's development period only lasts a few years, and it will take a lifetime to grow taller!"
For this reason, Ren Erdong could only shut up.
Xu Qingru took the opportunity to hand over her business card: "Sister, I am a reporter from a TV station. Please add me on WeChat. If your child feels uncomfortable after taking his medicine, call me immediately and I will defend your rights!"
She was telling the truth, but her tone was coquettish, just like a joke between young lovers. Li Qian was in a low mood and didn't take it seriously at all, and politely praised the two of them for being a perfect match.
After watching the mother and son leave, Ren Erdong received another call urging him to return to the company for a meeting. He frowned at the terrible weather and complained: "Grandma, report in the morning and summarize in the evening. We have been running around outside all day, and we have to go back for a meeting at night. It’s really hard for foreign capitalists to make money!”
