Chapter 736


    However, Philip did not care about Fade at all. He directly gestured at his secretary to take out a


    few contracts from the briefcase and put them onto the table. He said, "These are the copyright


    transfer agreements which we have drawn up. Please sign it."


    As he was speaking, Philip directly put a thick stack of agreements in front of Fade.


    Seeing this, Fade couldn''t help frowning and was about to say something.


    However, Rudolph quickly gave him a small tug under the table and whispered in a low tone, "Let''s


    go through them first."


    Fade was forced to refrain from speaking. He flipped open the agreements that were handed over


    by Philip.


    But before Fade could finish reading, Philip, who was sitting on the opposite side, frowned


    impatiently. He pointed toward the direction of the table and said, "No need to read. These


    agreements were drafted by our professional team. What problems could there be?"


    "Sign it!" Philip waved his hand and gestured towards his secretary to pass a pen to Fade.


    Nevertheless, Fade did not take the pen. Instead, he straightened up and looked at Philip coldly,


    "Now that Captain Lu is asking me to sign an agreement, I wonder how much the signing fees will


    be?"


    Hearing this, Philip''s brows wrinkled at once. He looked at Fade darkly and asked in a low voice,


    "What do you mean? What signing fee?"


    Fade sneered and said, "You are asking about signing fees? Director Lu, you are also in the


    pharmaceutical business. Don''t you know about patent costs?"


    "Of course I know about the patent cost!" Philip said, "Do you mean that we need to pay for the


    patent cost?"


    "Of course. I developed the Ephedra Syrup, and yourpany is using it right now. Of course, you


    need to pay for it." Fade said.


    Hearing this, Philip''s face turned gloomy and he said in a cold voice, "Mr. Chen, please be clear


    about this. This is a direct order from the Ministry of Health, and many high- ranked government


    officers are paying close attention to this situation. This patent is for the people and the nation."


    "For such a big and noble cause, do you really need to care about petty gains?" Using his knuckles,


    Philip rapped on the table to emphasize his point.


    "Petty gains?" Fade sneered, "Do you know how much the patent fees are worth for my Ephedra


    Syrup? You simply call it a small gain, and you take my generosity for granted. It''s so easy for you,


    Captain Lu."


    A hint of fury shed across Philip''s face. He said directly to Rudolph, "Chief Zheng, so this is the


    attitude of your staff in Dragonville City, with no social awareness at all. How dare you rmend


    such a person to your superiors, iming that he is a savior of the nation and the people."


    Rudolph was speechless.


    However, Fade was totally provoked. He mmed his fist on the table and stood up directly to


    confront Philip.


    "Stop it with all your lies. Do you think that I don''t know what you are up to?" Fade rebuked sternly.


    Philip replied, "You are a self- centered b*stard who doesn''t care for the people and the nation at all.


    What else do you want to say?"


    "Ha ha!" Fade sneered and said, "If I''m considered selfish, then what do you say about your transfer


    agreements?"


    "I''ve already offered free copyright licensing. Why do you have to ask for the transfer agreements?"


    Fade demanded.


    Philip''s face changed slightly and he said in a low voice, Tve already told you that this


    pharmaceutical form directly concerns the welfare of the public, so you can''t keep the patent in


    your own hands. It must be owned by the government to ensure its safety and reliance."


    "It would indeed be reliable for the patent right to be owned by the government. If it was really being


    transferred to the country, I would have no problems signing it." Fade sneered.


    Then, he picked up the thick stack of papers and threw them directly at Philip''s face. He bellowed,


    "But here it clearly states that the ownership is being transferred to Bulrush Pharma. How do you


    exin this, Philip Lu?"


    "Do you think that you and your Bulrush Pharma represent the nation and the people?" Fade raised


    his eyebrows and red at Philip.


    What provoked Fade the most was not about signing the copyright transfer without getting a single


    cent. Philip was clearly plotting to snatch the Ephedra Syrup patent right into the possession of his


    Bulrush Pharma.


    Subsequently, he could then present the Ephedra Syrup concoction form to the government,


    iming it as a research product of his Bulrush Pharma, and reaping all the fame and profit. It was


    indeed a well-nned scheme.


    Even Rudolph, who had been persuading Fade to hold back his temper, turned sullen. He looked at


    Philip differently now, a stark contrast to his previously appeasing manner.


    In the face of Fade''s question, Philip felt a twinge of panic. But then, he quickly regained his


    composure and said, "Nonsense, you are thinking too much."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "I, Philip Lu, am an honorary member of the National Health Association. Bulrush Pharma is also an


    official partner of the National Health Association. When the patent is transferred to us, it is same as


    being transferred to the corresponding department in the Ministry of Health," Philip said.


    Fade chuckled and said, "Do you really believe this kind of made- up story? Or do you take us for


    fools?"


    As he spoke, Fade got up and turned around to leave the meeting room.


    Seeing this, Philip''s expression immediately changed, "You''re leaving? You better think twice. I am


    the captain of the investigation team, sent here by the government to deal with the urgent issue


    regarding the Alstom Antibiotic."


    "We received a report from Dragonville, iming that a substitute drug had been developed, but


    now you can''t show us the product. This is considered as deceit, trying to fool the top management.


    Can you face the consequences?"


    Fade''s lips curled up in a sneer, "Go on, you shameless, power-abusing sc*mbag! Do you think I''ll


    be afraid of you?"


    With that, Fade strode toward the door.


    Philip''s face was filled with anger. He knew he couldn''t persuade Fade, so he turned to Rudolph


    instead, "Director Zheng, the substitute drug was first developed in Dragonville City. It was


    supposed to be a great honor for the health department of Dragonville City, but now it is going to


    turn into a big shame. Are you really making a wise decision?"


    Naturally, the words evoked some doubts within Rudolph, but after all, he couldn''t be so shameless


    as to rob someone of their copyright without offering anypensation. So, he only remained


    neutral and said, "The Ephedra Syrup patent belongs to Mr. Chen. We can''t force him."


    After that, Rudolph also walked out of the meeting room.


    Philip''s face had never been more thunderous.


    In his raging fury, Philip mmed the table forcefully. He cursed through gritted teeth, "A group of


    idiots with no rules, no discipline, and no sense of team honor! The nation and the people have


    supported you in vain..."
