Top-tier Unruly Master

Yan Ruyao saw Qin Manshu speak like this, and after glancing at Ding Fan, she earnestly said, "Manager Ding, our pharmaceutical factory has been around for over twenty years, and I can't let it go under while in my hands. Please allocate some more funds to us."

When Yan Ruyao had finished speaking, there was some whispering among the other managers present at the meeting.

"This factory has been losing money every year, always extending its hand for more. This can't go on."

"Yeah, we might as well cut it off directly."

Ding Fan glanced at Qin Manshu next to him, who at the moment was completely indifferent, leaving Ding Fan to handle the situation.

Ding Fan then opened the file in front of him, which indeed contained detailed information about the pharmaceutical factory.

Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, just as Yan Ruyao had said, did indeed have a history of over twenty years as a traditional Chinese medicine preparation company. Due to poor management in recent years, the factory was heavily in debt. In the past two to three years, the company had already allocated more than ten million, yet there was still no sign of improvement.

After pondering for a moment, Ding Fan said, "Then allocate five million to the pharmaceutical factory for now."

What?!

In the silent meeting room, Ding Fan's statement caused a wave of shock.

According to the company's usual procedures, even if Jiangyuan Company was to receive funds, it would require a meeting to discuss the matter, and it would also need to be reported to the headquarters, following the proper steps to make a request.

However, Ding Fan had casually looked over the materials for Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory a couple of times and then promptly agreed to allocate five million...

In everyone's eyes, this was simply unimaginable.

At that moment, everyone in the meeting room turned their gazes to Qin Manshu who had fallen silent, since, after all, she was the head of Qin's Group. However, regarding Ding Fan's agreement to allocate the funds, she just contemplated without saying a word. Her expression made everyone understand.

It turned out that what the general manager had previously said about the company's finances, personnel, and direction being fully controlled by Manager Ding Fan was true.

But, even if Ding Fan really was in control, five million was not a small sum, and it wouldn't be approved so casually on the spot, would it...

However, everyone seemed to quickly grasp something.

Yan Ruyao, youthful and beautiful, radiant as a flower. It seemed that Manager Ding had taken a liking to Yan Ruyao's appearance.

After a moment of excitement, Yan Ruyao noticed the meaningful glances directed at her from the others around her.

Yan Ruyao frowned slightly. Without needing anyone else to say it, she herself realized that something was off. Ding Fan knew nothing about her pharmaceutical company, yet immediately allocated five million. If this wasn't due to some ulterior motive, what else could it be...

"Factory Director Yan, come see me after the meeting is over. I have something I want to discuss with you," Ding Fan said to Yan Ruyao at that moment.

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, it was as if everyone looked at Yan Ruyao with confirmed suspicions. Yan Ruyao pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but held back because the general manager was present, and in the end, she didn't say anything.

The meeting continued without much else. Today's meeting basically served to familiarize Ding Fan with Dancheng's Qin's Group personnel structure and to understand the current main businesses of Qin's Group.

After the meeting ended, as the person in charge of the company, Ding Fan naturally had to see General Manager Qin Manshu off. In some ways, Ding Fan was now the host here.

When seeing off Qin Manshu, Ding Fan requested two people from her.

The two people Ding Fan wanted were Hu Jin, the manager of Dongcheng Logistics Department, and Ning Luoxi from the Dongcheng branch.

Hu Jin was Ding Fan's supervisor when he served as the logistics department manager in the Dongcheng branch—a serious and principled person. Ding Fan had come to take over the company just to go through the motions, and moreover, he truly did not have the time to run the company.

Ding Fan now wished to arrange for a few reliable people to help him manage the company.

And Hu Jin was certainly a good choice.

As for Ning Luoxi, she was a kind person, and moreover, Ning Luoxi was Ding Fan's nominal apprentice. It could be said that Ning Luoxi was one of his own, and having her come to help would indeed be for the best.

Qin Manshu naturally had no objections to the two people Ding Fan wanted. Ding Fan could have the entire Dancheng branch, so the Qin family would not begrudge just two people.

After sending Qin Manshu away, Ding Fan returned to his office.

Yan Ruyao had already been waiting there for a while and stood up respectfully when she saw Ding Fan arrive.

"I've looked over the sales records of the pharmaceutical factory just now. The Heart Saving Pill has always sold well, so why has it been losing money these past few years?" Ding Fan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Yan Ruyao had been concerned that Ding Fan might have nefarious reasons for keeping her, but to her surprise, as soon as he sat down, he went straight to the point.

The Heart Saving Pill was the pharmaceutical factory's flagship brand. If not for having carefully read the brief, Yan Ruyao thought it was impossible for Ding Fan to know about it.

"The Heart Saving Pill is primarily used to stabilize the heart during an attack. This pill has been the cornerstone of our factory, and sales have always been good. However, two years ago, Japan launched a competing pill. Its price is comparable to ours, but the recovery it offers for heart conditions is superior.

It's precisely because the Heart Saving Pill was impacted by the market that our pharmaceutical factory has been struggling. Without capital and weak in research and development, our situation has been deteriorating day by day..."

Yan Ruyao sighed deeply as she said this.

Ding Fan pondered for a moment before responding, "I'll go down and take a look at your factory's situation in the next few days..."

Yan Ruyao nodded. "Thank you, Manager Ding."

Although Yan Ruyao's meeting with Ding Fan was brief, she had a good impression of him. Previously, the general managers of the Dancheng Branch Company tended to neglect the pharmaceutical factories. Having been ignored for so long, she felt that under Ding Fan's concern, the factory would probably soon regain its vitality.

After seeing off Yan Ruyao, Ding Fan summoned the director of the logistics department with the intention of discussing Zhen Xiang's flowers.

Zhen Xiang, a college graduate, didn't rely on anyone and was self-sufficient. A girl as fresh and beautiful as a flower, willing to earn money from the soil, was someone Ding Fan deeply admired.

So, Ding Fan's request was simple: he wanted the logistics department to establish a long-term cooperation with Zhen Xiang's flowers, ensuring that all future flower needs would be purchased from her. Furthermore, after communicating his requirement, Ding Fan told the logistics department's director to keep his own involvement a secret at all costs.

Although making a fixed arrangement with a single flower supplier seemed trivial, since Ding Fan personally requested it, the logistics department's director didn't dare to take it lightly and promptly recorded it in his work journal with great care.

After arranging these matters, Ding Fan strolled out of the company and called a taxi to leave.

Ding Fan had just gotten into the taxi when Qin's Group Company employees behind him were stunned.

Putting aside the fact that Ding Fan left early during working hours, one must remember even if you are the general manager of a branch, you are still an employee of the Qin family.

And regarding Ding Fan taking a taxi, everyone was astonished. Could anyone believe that the head of Qin's Group's Dancheng branch would take a taxi?

Even as they watched with their own eyes, they found it incredibly hard to believe.

Ding Fan was in a hurry to leave the company today because he had plans.

At yesterday's Qin's Group thank-you banquet, there were too many attendees for Ding Fan to properly host Lin Qingqing. At the end of the banquet, Lin Qingqing approached him and said she had something important that required his assistance.

Compared to others, Lin Qingqing had a closer relationship with Ding Fan. After Zhou Ruoran's villa burned down, she spent a long time living at Lin Qingqing's place. Besides, the Lin siblings were known for their loyalty, which matched well with Ding Fan's temperament, so if Lin Qingqing needed help, Ding Fan was naturally inclined to be involved.

Following the arrangement made last night, Ding Fan took a taxi to the Dancheng Phoenix Tower.

This place was where Ding Fan had met the Lin siblings, and he was also quite satisfied with the meals here. Therefore, he and Lin Qingqing had agreed to meet here.

After Ding Fan stepped out of the taxi, he headed straight for the Phoenix Building.

"The world really has changed, even a country bumpkin like this can come to the Phoenix Building to eat..."

Just as Ding Fan approached the entrance to the Phoenix Building, he was stopped by two people looking at him with disdain.

"Kid, this place is booked today, beat it!" one burly man said, pointing at Ding Fan's nose.

These two men were quite arrogant, and Ding Fan's expression turned slightly.

Then, before the burly man could comprehend what was happening, Ding Fan grabbed the finger pointed at his nose and violently twisted it.

The burly man screamed in agony and fell to his knees before Ding Fan. The tall man beside him even heard the sound of bone breaking.

"F**k! Let go, it hurts like hell!" the burly man, with his finger in Ding Fan's grip, kneeled on the ground, teary and snot-filled, appearing extremely pitiful.

"Next time you go out, clean your damn mouth!" Ding Fan said and then kicked the burly man away.

"You son of a b***h, if I don't kill you today, you can call me your father!" the burly man growled in pain, pulling himself up from the ground with a fierce look, and swung his fist toward Ding Fan's head.

Thump... Ding Fan kicked him squarely in the chest, and the burly man was once again sent tumbling to the ground by Ding Fan's blow.

"Get lost!" Ding Fan said coldly.
