Chapter 2300: Chapter 2120: Are You Satisfied with This?
"Didn’t Sister cook potato soup for Xiaodong before? Did he say it tasted good? Sister Xiaoru hasn’t cooked for a long time, her cooking skills have declined." Sun Yiyi said.
"Yeah... It seems that as women, we still need to work hard to enhance our own charm. Otherwise, men won’t come home all day." Miao Qingqing said softly.
"Alright, alright, isn’t it because I went to change Director Qiao’s dressings? It’s just this week, once a day, I’ll stop once her wound heals." Song Xiaodong said.
"Who cares about you, even if you stay at home every day, your heart is still with someone else. What can we do?" Chu Xianling said.
"Look at you all, acting like a bunch of resentful wives. You dress up beautifully every day, making Xiaodong so infatuated, can he still think about Director Qiao every day?" Li Sijie stepped out and said to everyone.
"Xiaodong, let me ask you, what exactly is good about Director Qiao?" Miao Qingqing asked.
"Her? Can’t say exactly what’s good, has a big temper, not gentle, quick to get angry. But at least, Director Qiao won’t get jealous of you all, won’t sniff me for suspicious smells when I get home every day like you do." Song Xiaodong said.
"Speaking of you, Xianling!" Miao Qingqing glanced at Chu Xianling and said.
"Jealous of us? We are your wives, she’s not, why would she be jealous of us?" Chu Xianling said.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing, Xiaodong’s relationship with Director Qiao progressing is a good thing. When Director Qiao moves in, treat everyone the same, won’t that solve everything?" Song Xiaoru stepped out and said to everyone.
"Who knows when she’ll come around?" Chu Xianling said with a hint of complaint.
"That depends on Xiaodong’s skills, but I have a feeling it’s soon, isn’t that right, Xiaodong?" Song Xiaoru asked Song Xiaodong.
"Honestly, I don’t know..."
Lu Yaobing returned to school to continue her studies, and a few days later, she received a call from an unknown number.
"Is this Lu Yaobing?"
"Yes, it’s me."
"Your application for the Cuishengyuan Slimming Tea food safety test evaluation result is out. Please come to **** to collect it."
"Alright, alright."
Lu Yaobing didn’t inform Su Xiaoliu and went by herself to the Food and Drug Safety Supervision and Inspection Laboratory, where she had been before. Previously, Sun Weilong had already explained to take the number to collect the food safety test evaluation report.
"Hello, I’m here to collect the food safety test report numbered *******." Lu Yaobing said to the person at the service window.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The service window staff said.
Lu Yaobing took the thick stack of dozens of pages of the test report handed over by the staff and walked to the corridor, flipping through them one by one.
With her medical background, Lu Yaobing had some understanding of safety monitoring. After looking for a while, she found it boring and directly turned to the end.
The report concluded that Cuishengyuan Slimming Tea contains unverified traditional Chinese medicine organic ingredients, with unknown pharmacokinetics and pharmacology, posing an unforeseen food safety risk, potentially causing allergies, kidney failure, and other serious adverse reactions, and the food safety production license application was rejected.
Lu Yaobing frowned.
She herself had drunk this slimming tea, knowing that besides tea leaves, it only contained some pure natural traditional Chinese medicine, and the effective ingredient content was extremely low once made into a drink. The listed potential food safety risks existed objectively, yet the amount needed to cause kidney failure or allergies would likely require drinking dozens of bottles; would a normal person drink that much at once?
So Lu Yaobing went to find Sun Weilong.
"Mr. Sun? I’m Lu Yaobing, I was here before." Lu Yaobing said to Sun Weilong.
Sun Weilong was working, and upon hearing the voice, he looked up and immediately recognized Lu Yaobing.
"Ah, Miss Lu, is it? So your test result is out?" Sun Weilong asked Lu Yaobing.
"Yes, the test report says my formula contains unverified organic ingredients, with unclear pharmacokinetics and pharmacology, posing unforeseen food safety risks. But I’m familiar with the formula myself; it’s only some commonly used traditional Chinese medicines. Many patented Chinese medicines have been used on a large scale in clinical practice, with adverse reactions within acceptable ranges. Moreover, this is slimming tea, the traditional Chinese medicine ingredients are so diluted, their effects are negligible, such severe adverse reactions simply won’t occur, you must have made a mistake..."
Before Lu Yaobing could continue, Sun Weilong interrupted her.
"The thing is, your slimming tea contains complex traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, with many saponins and other organic compounds interacting. The effects of these organic compounds on the human body are still unclear. If this were just a prescription by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for patients, there would be no problem. But you’re trying to make a beverage, one that children, young, old, men, and women all might drink. Can you guarantee that these organic compounds have no effect on everyone? Can you ensure these ingredients won’t react with other foods consumers eat, causing toxic reactions?"
While Sun Weilong’s words sounded reasonable, they were nonsensical; traditional Chinese medicine uses plants, consisting of organic compounds, and a single medicine may have dozens of active ingredients, possibly thousands of total components, is it really possible to fully understand the pharmacological properties, chemical composition, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of every ingredient?
"But..."
"Alright, stop talking, go back, and adjust the formula, don’t use so much traditional Chinese medicine." Sun Weilong said to Lu Yaobing.
"But..."
"Just go, just go." Sun Weilong said impatiently to Lu Yaobing.
"Well then, Mr. Sun, goodbye."
"Mm."
Lu Yaobing stood there dazed, holding the thick stack of test reports, not knowing what to do next.
After pacing back and forth outside Sun Weilong’s office for quite a while, Lu Yaobing finally mustered the courage to call Su Xiaoliu.
