The two brothers returned to the previous interview room. Wei Hongbo found the materials regarding Li Yunxiang and flipped to the contents of her physical examination records, discovering there were two entries for this year.
One was a routine physical examination conducted at a hospital, dated late January; the other was an EEG monitoring record, dated February 21st to 22nd.
His previous focus hadn't been on this area, so he hadn't paid attention. Looking at it now, he found it somewhat strange and called Wu Wenjun over to ask.
"Our company's Environmental Maintenance Staff position does not allow individuals with a history of epilepsy. The EEG monitoring is specifically for this type of check," Wu Wenjun explained. "Our company's EEG monitoring equipment is more sensitive than hospital equipment and is also more convenient to use."
"Why is it conducted over two consecutive days?"
"Actually, it's one night, because sleep EEG monitoring is required. It's said this method has higher accuracy, but I don't know the specific principles."
Wei Hongbo looked at Wei Hongsi. Wei Hongsi then said, "It's not easy to detect abnormal brainwave activity in epilepsy when it's not actively flaring up, but sleep can activate epileptiform discharges."
Wei Hongbo nodded and continued reviewing Li Yunxiang's physical examination records.
Over the past three and a half years, she had undergone sleep EEG monitoring seven times. No wonder Zhiwei Technology was so certain she had no history of epilepsy.
Behind an absurd regulation, there is often an even more absurd incident. Zhiwei Technology being so meticulous in this aspect suggested something must have happened before.
But matters unrelated to this case, he didn't want to delve into. The key point was that Li Yunxiang's change indeed occurred after the February physical examination.
Wei Hongbo pondered for a moment, then asked, "If this accident hadn't occurred, when would Li Yunxiang's next EEG monitoring have been?"
Wu Wenjun said, "Probably around late July or early August."
Wei Hongbo nodded and asked again, "Where is your company's Director Meng right now?"
"He will be staying at the company recently," Wu Wenjun said, then feeling it was somewhat inappropriate, added, "This is due to work requirements."
"Then we'll go over there later. I want to meet Director Meng. Please make the necessary preparations," Wei Hongbo said, not poking holes in the explanation.
Speaking of which, Meng Haolin was indeed suspected of being under house arrest. But if this was framed as a company work arrangement and Meng Haolin himself was willing to cooperate, others really couldn't say much.
By this time, the related inquiries and documentation work were mostly complete.
Wei Hongbo gathered the people from both companies together, gave them another round of instructions regarding precautions, and then let everyone leave.
The people from both companies walked out of the Criminal Investigation Division building, their expressions all carrying a degree of gravity.
Although the biggest hidden danger, Plan B, had been uncovered and the police had launched an investigation, from the companies' perspective, the priority of commercial interests was highest. Whether the case could be solved quickly wasn't actually very important.
How to resolve the crisis right before their eyes was their primary consideration. Otherwise, even if the mastermind behind the scenes was caught, it would be far from enough to compensate for the losses.
Whether it was Paradise Beverages or Zhiwei Technology, there was no difference on this point.
Jiang Kai said to Pang Weizhi, "Director Pang, what do you think about us sitting down for a while longer and grabbing a bite to eat?"
Pang Weizhi pondered briefly, then nodded, "I'll follow Director Jiang's arrangement."
"Then let's go to our company," Jiang Kai said, looking at Wu Wenjun. "Please help arrange it, Director Wu."
"No problem, we'll go directly to the company cafeteria," Wu Wenjun agreed, then asked Wei Hongsi, "Engineer Wei, where are you planning to go?"
Wei Hongsi said, "I'm also heading back to the company."
He still had a time-limited task that he needed to complete himself, and that required the company's equipment.
Thus, everyone split into three cars and headed to the Zhiwei Technology building.
On the way, Wu Wenjun made arrangements with the cafeteria and reported the situation to Ji Yongsheng.
After listening, Ji Yongsheng said, "Then I'll receive Paradise's Director Pang. You handle coordinating with the police regarding their investigation of Director Meng."
That was originally what Wu Wenjun had in mind.
Having Ji Yongsheng step forward was appropriate for two reasons: first, it matched Pang Weizhi's status, which was basic social etiquette; second, if it involved some major decisions, Ji Yongsheng could make the call directly.
After hanging up, Wu Wenjun said to Wei Hongsi, "Engineer Wei, this trip has really troubled you."
Wei Hongsi said, "You're too kind, Director Wu. This is also part of my duty."
Wu Wenjun's original intention in bringing Wei Hongsi along was to have him answer any technical questions that might arise. But during the police questioning, such situations hardly occurred.
However, he noticed that for a period of time, both Wei Hongsi and Wei Hongbo were absent. Clearly, the two brothers had already discussed some matters privately.
He wouldn't blame Wei Hongsi for choosing to communicate privately. On the contrary, some internal company situations didn't need to be known by the Paradise people, but during a police investigation, it wasn't easy to hide them.
So in his view, Wei Hongsi had already played his role very well. Because of his relationship with Wei Hongbo, it had even far exceeded his expectations.
It was already past 8 PM. The evening rush hour was over, and they arrived at the underground parking lot of the Zhiwei Technology building in just over ten minutes.
After everyone got out of the cars, Ji Cheng came over to find Wei Hongsi. "Engineer Wei, could we sit together? I have some matters I'd like to consult you about."
"You flatter me. You're too polite, Director Ji," Wei Hongsi said. He actually wanted to learn some details from Ji Cheng as well, so this was exactly what he had hoped for.
Wu Wenjun apologized to Pang Weizhi and, taking Liu Zhifeng with him, went to the main building to wait for Wei Hongbo.
Jiang Kai then led the others to the prepared private room on the third floor of the cafeteria. Ji Yongsheng was already waiting there.
After introductions and brief pleasantries, Pang Weizhi took the lead in speaking. "The new beverage we are launching this summer is the most important task for the Paradise Group this year. The funds invested for this have already exceeded 500 million, and that's not even calculating the time costs.
"This Saturday morning, we will hold a new product launch event at Yuexiu Plaza, along with simultaneous promotional activities at commercial landmarks in over twenty major cities across the country to build momentum for the new product's market launch. At that time, the advertising campaign will also be fully rolled out. Counting on our fingers, the adjustment time left for us is less than 36 hours."
He didn't spell it out completely, but everyone understood the meaning. Paradise Beverages had prepared such a large-scale setup; they would not postpone it except under extreme circumstances, and advertising issues clearly didn't fall into that category.
Ji Yongsheng asked, "Director Pang, does your side have corresponding contingency plans?"
Pang Weizhi sighed lightly and said, "We do, but they would leave significant hidden dangers." As he spoke, he shook his head again.
Ji Cheng said, "President Ji, our advertising tender procurement usually confirms at least three suppliers. This time, for the four schemes we commissioned your company to analyze, the producers all have signed contracts with us. Apart from Plan B, the other three schemes are our contingency plans."
Ji Yongsheng slowly nodded.
Although he wasn't in charge of marketing work, hearing Ji Cheng's explanation made it clear to him.
