Top-tier Unruly Master

The person standing at the entrance to the meeting room, if not Ding Fan, then who else could it be?

However, Hao Zhihua didn't care at all about who was blocking the door. She was usually arrogant and overbearing, and right now she was in her moment of commanding attention, so she immediately pushed Ding Fan in the chest without a second thought.

Although Hao Zhihua was a woman, her physique was hardly inferior to that of a man. From behind, if it wasn't for Hao Zhihua's long hair, many would mistake her for a man.

At this moment, Hao Zhihua forcefully pushed Ding Fan, and naturally, the force behind her push was not small.

Ding Fan had not expected Hao Zhihua to be so arrogant as to come at him aggressively. Pretending as if nothing was amiss, he stood there and let Hao Zhihua push him.

In Hao Zhihua's mind, her palm would surely send the blocking Ding Fan sprawling. This would have made her pretense quite perfect.

However, what Hao Zhihua hadn't anticipated was that when her palm landed on Ding Fan, it was like pushing against a cushion of cotton, soft with no solid resistance at all.

While Hao Zhihua was taken aback, a sudden force rebounded from Ding Fan's chest, sending her flying backward without the slightest balance.

Given Hao Zhihua's substantial size, no one behind her dared to catch her flying figure. Consequently, everyone quickly got out of the way, and Hao Zhihua crashed heavily to the floor, landing on her behind.

Cupping her rear, Hao Zhihua felt as if it was about to split apart.

"Assault... arrest someone... murder!" Hao Zhihua, true to her shrewish nature, didn't succeed in hitting someone and fell to the ground, but she began to throw a tantrum on the spot.

Ding Fan did not pay attention to Hao Zhihua lying on the ground. For someone like her, Ding Fan would never intentionally step on her. The force that had rebounded her push was nothing but her own energy being redirected back to her by Ding Fan.

That is to say, the rebound force was entirely of Hao Zhihua's own making. She had indeed reaped what she sowed.

At this moment, Yan Ruyao hurriedly approached.

"Manager Ding... What brings you here?"

As Yan Ruyao finished speaking, everyone present was taken aback. Manager Ding? The new manager of the Dancheng Branch Company wasn't that Manager Ding? Could it be that this person in front of them was indeed the manager of the branch?

Yan Ruyao expressed her respect for Ding Fan, suggesting that this 'Manager Ding' here indeed seemed very likely to be the manager of the Dancheng Branch Company.

Ding Fan nodded to Yan Ruyao, knowing now wasn't the time for casual chat. The important matter was to stabilize the morale, "Hello everyone, I am Ding Fan, and the general manager of the branch company is me."

Indeed, this person turned out to be the general manager of the branch. In everyone's imagination, Ding Fan should at least be a disheveled old man in his forties. No one could have guessed that this young man, barely into his twenties, was their boss.

"You're the boss, so you think you can beat people up? I'm going to sue you..." Hao Zhihua said while sprawling on the ground, relentless in her accusations.

Ding Fan glanced at Hao Zhihua lying beside him. "I believe everyone here saw clearly that I did not lay a finger on you. If you wish, you are welcome to sue me at any time."

Just moments before, Ding Fan hadn't even reached out his hand, and virtually all the witnesses could attest to this. In everyone's eyes, it was clear that Hao Zhihua tried to push Ding Fan, only to inexplicably fly back herself.

"Hao Zhihua, if you wish to sue, feel free to do so at any time. We have security cameras here that have recorded exactly what happened just now," Yan Ruyao interjected.

Hao Zhihua was about to say something else, but suddenly, she didn't know what to say. Indeed, she was the one who had acted, and although she didn't understand why she had flown backward, she clearly saw that Ding Fan hadn't made a move.

She had intended to deny responsibility, but there was evidence against her. Even as confrontational as Hao Zhihua was, she didn't dare to truly sue Ding Fan.

As she couldn't blame anyone for being hit out of the blue and couldn't sue, Hao Zhihua felt incredibly stifled.

Without another option, Hao Zhihua stood up from the ground. Continuing to sit there would just be humiliating herself.

At this time, Ding Fan did not bother with Hao Zhihua on the side; he looked at the crowd blocking the door.

"While I was outside, I heard what you all were saying, but now I have two things to say," Ding Fan stated, scanning the crowd at the entrance.

"Say what? You just want us all to stay and stick with Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory together... Let me make it clear to you, the factory in Japan is offering us double our salary, we've already decided to go there, no matter what you say, we're definitely leaving," Hao Zhihua declared, hands on hips.

"That's right, Manager Ding, we need to survive. The pharmaceutical factory is finished, and if we keep staying here, we're just waiting for death. With this opportunity, if we go to another factory, we can at least make some money..."

"If our factory would also give us double the salary, I'd be willing to stay, too... All of us workers, we're just trying to earn more money after all..."

After Hao Zhihua finished speaking, the others behind her began to echo her sentiments one by one.

Yan Ruyao frowned deeply. The pharmaceutical factory was truly on the brink of life and death. If all these people in the meeting room, the core staff of Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, were to leave, the factory would undoubtedly be doomed.

Although Ding Fan had stepped forward, Yan Ruyao did not believe he had any way to retain these people. After all, the benefits offered by the Japanese factory were too good to match, something the branch company simply couldn't afford.

Businessmen chase profits, and the core staff of these pharmaceutical factories are no different. In these times awash with material desire, talk of benevolence, righteousness, and morality is all false; only tangible benefits can ensure these people stay.

"If that's the case, then I will give you five times your wages!"

At this moment, Ding Fan said to everyone present with a face that was the picture of composure.

Huh?! Five times?!

The workers looked at each other in disbelief, wondering if their ears were deceiving them. Five times the wages, how could that be possible? They knew that even Japan couldn't offer such a rate.

Not only were the core staff members present shocked, but even Yan Ruyao standing by was looking at Ding Fan incredulously. She couldn't understand what Ding Fan was trying to do.

Five times the wages? When even the current level of wages was more than they could afford to pay monthly. Where would the money for five times the wage come from?

"You... you're lying. Five times the wages... that's absolutely impossible," Hao Zhihua said from the side.

Ding Fan continued, "Believe me and you can stay; if you don't believe, you can leave now."

After Ding Fan spoke, the core staff present began whispering among themselves. Five times the wages was far too tempting.

"I don't care what you say, this is clearly deceitful. I don't believe the company can give us such high wages, I'm leaving!" Hao Zhihua was the first to stand up and speak out.

After Hao Zhihua finished speaking, many of those standing beside her echoed her sentiment.

Ding Fan didn't say much to them. To each their own desires; if they couldn't be retained, there was no need to force them to stay.

"Only a fool would stay!"

Following that, Hao Zhihua left the meeting room with quite a few others, and soon what was left in the meeting room was only a small fraction of the people who were there before.

"Manager Ding, all of us here have feelings for Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory. Our factory has had its days of glory, and if there really is a chance to revive it, we are willing to stay!" a middle-aged man said.

"Yes, we hope Jiangyuan Group can regain its former glory," others added.

Ding Fan nodded, "In the future, you will be certain that what you did today was the right choice. I can tell you responsibly that our factory will definitely have its day to turn things around."

After finishing speaking, Ding Fan turned to Yan Ruyao and said, "Arrange for all the executives of the factory to come here for a meeting."

Yan Ruyao nodded and went to make the arrangements.

After some organization by Yan Ruyao, all the factory's executives were accounted for, and the number of people who stayed was no more than three or four.

The once-economic pillar, Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, had now fallen to such a state, leaving everyone present feeling disheartened.

Once everyone had arrived, Ding Fan began the meeting.

"From now on, within the factory, from the director to the workers, everyone's wages will increase by five times!" Ding Fan declared decisively as his first statement.

In the Cultivation World, if you want to have followers who will work for you, who would sell their efforts without sufficient benefit?

After Ding Fan announced the wage ratio, there was a bout of covert murmuring among the people present.

Ding Fan didn't care about what they were discussing and continued, "Starting now, the company will cease production of all drugs. The factory will be on holiday for three days!"

Yan Ruyao was stunned. She had thought that Ding Fan raising everyone's wages meant he had some big plans in store, but she had never imagined that he would give the whole factory a holiday.

"Manager Ding..."

Yan Ruyao wanted to stand up and remind Ding Fan but he simply waved his hand at her to stop her.

Ding Fan certainly understood what Yan Ruyao wanted to remind him about.

How could Ding Fan not know what he was doing?

The level of medical expertise on Earth couldn't compare with the medical expertise in the Cultivation World. After his rebirth, wasn't it the Pills that Ding Fan refined himself that helped him through some tough times?

Now, Ding Fan still had confidence in the Pills he refined. If the Pills he refined couldn't sell well, then he might as well, as a Cultivator, just buy a block of tofu and knock himself out with it.
