Top-tier Unruly Master

Ding Fan had the absolute authority to make decisions unilaterally at the company, but when it came to appointing two vice general managers, whose power was subservient only to his own, he still had to call a meeting.

Thereupon, Ding Fan had his subordinates arrange one, organizing a meeting.

The theme of the meeting was quite straightforward, mainly focused on appointments. Therefore, after the meeting began, Ding Fan did not beat around the bush and directly announced the appointments of Hu Jin and Ning Luoxi.

After Ding Fan finished speaking, everyone in attendance was surprised. Manager Ding truly had a unique way of doing things — the candidates he appointed were all without exception beautiful young women.

First, it was Yan Ruyao, the beautiful head of Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, who was won over by Ding Fan. Then came the appointments of the two great beauties, Hu Jin and Ning Luoxi, to serve directly as vice generals…

Although the assistance of Hu Jin and Ning Luoxi in managing the branch seemed random, it was actually the result of Ding Fan's careful consideration.

Hu Jin was rigorous and upright, possessing a spirit of practical action. Meanwhile, Ning Luoxi was kind-hearted and straightforward, one of Ding Fan's most trusted people. Therefore, with these two managing the branch, Ding Fan was naturally very reassured.

After the appointments were settled, Yan Ruyao gave a brief report on the factory's situation.

"…Ever since the incident on the island yesterday, all major pharmacies and drug distributors in the city have had their Sedate Pills sold out, and there are still long queues at various sales outlets trying to buy Sedate Pills. According to the current stock of Sedate Pills at the factory, we have enough to last only a few more days at most."

After Yan Ruyao finished speaking, everyone present was in disbelief.

It was known that Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory was on the brink of bankruptcy at that time, with external debts and internal wage issues unresolved. However, it hadn't been long since Ding Fan had taken over the factory, and it had already turned losses into profits.

All in all, it had not even been a week, and three of those days were holidays.

After listening to Yan Ruyao, Ding Fan nodded. "When can the second generation of Sedate Pills be introduced to the market?"

Yan Ruyao replied, "The second generation of Sedate Pills is ready. It's just that some of the related procedures have not yet been fully approved."

"Leave the paperwork to me," Ding Fan said.

Since his rebirth, Ding Fan had gained some understanding of these tedious formalities of the secular world and knew that getting things done required the right connections. Handing this paperwork directly over to Qin Manshu and letting her handle it would be straightforward with the Qin family's influence — getting the procedure approved would be no big deal.

"Manager Ding, I hope that after this incident, the pharmaceutical factory can get a chance for a rebirth in the eyes of the public," said Hu Jin, after flipping through the materials in front of her.

Ding Fan looked at Hu Jin, signaling her to continue.

Hu Jin went on, "Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory has been a well-established brand for many years. The main reason for the difficulty in selling our products recently was the lack of recognition among the new generation in our country. I think with the current momentum of the factory, we should push it to new heights, letting citizens become more familiar with us and promote our brand!"

Hu Jin's insight almost immediately earned her admiring glances from the managerial elites in attendance.

"This matter will be left to you and your team to handle," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Inviting Hu Jin over, Ding Fan had intended to be a hands-off manager all along.

"Manager Ding, now some drug agents from other regions want to have exclusive local distribution of our Sedate Pills. What do you think about this?" Yan Ruyao interjected.

At that moment, Ding Fan was reminded of the people crowded outside when he arrived at the company during the day. After mulling it over, he said, "Leave these matters to Hu Jin as well."

Hu Jin glanced at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan just pretended not to see. "I won't interfere with the rest. You all discuss it; I'm stepping out."

With that, Ding Fan really stood up and walked out.

Hu Jin was speechless for a moment. To manage like Ding Fan, one really had to be at a certain realm. Recalling how Su Maner managed the Dongcheng branch with such painstaking effort and looking at Ding Fan's nonchalance, it was like he didn't care at all.

In her heart, Hu Jin still had that question — how did Ding Fan become the general manager of a branch…

After all, Ding Fan wasn't learned in management. Staying involved wouldn't make much sense.

There wasn't much he could contribute to the company's affairs, so he was ready to head back.

"Brother Fan?" Just as Ding Fan was stepping out of the office, he saw Zhen Xiang nearby.

Ding Fan was taken aback; he had not expected to run into Zhen Xiang here.

"Brother Fan, it really is you. What are you doing here?" Zhen Xiang approached, her voice laced with disbelief.

"I'm here to take care of some business for a friend," Ding Fan said, smiling at Zhen Xiang.

"Who is this?" Just then, a man in a suit approached Zhen Xiang's side and looked rather impolitely at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan, dressed in plain clothes without a single valuable item on him, looked like a poor boy in the eyes of the man in the suit.

"Cousin, this Brother Fan has been of great help to me in Dancheng," Zhen Xiang said from the side.

"Zhen Xiang, you've always been like this since you were little. If someone helps you a little, you think they've done you a huge favor. Why don't you consider why they helped you? It's just because you're pretty, and they want to hit on you… Cousin, let me tell you.

If you're going to marry, you must marry someone successful, like Manager Huang from the logistics department just now, who is young and handsome…"

"Enough, Cousin!"

Zhen Xiang's cousin kept babbling on, and she directly interrupted him. "This is Qin's Group Company. Don't talk nonsense here. What if someone hears you?"

"Kid, let me tell you, you don't stand a chance. You know, Manager Huang from the logistics department likes my sister. Can you compare to Manager Huang? He is the manager of the logistics department at Qin's Group. You better stop pestering my sister; you definitely don't stand a chance…"

Zhen Xiang's face suddenly turned red with the words of her cousin. Although this was a corridor, people occasionally passed by. If what her cousin said was overheard, Zhen Xiang would be too embarrassed to show her face.

"No, no, alright? I won't talk nonsense anymore, okay?"

Zhen Xiang was too busy with work at hand, and since her cousin from her aunt's family was free, he came over to help, having arrived here just a few days ago. Zhen Xiang's cousin hadn't had enough time acting important here and, of course, didn't want to leave.

Although Zhen Xiang's cousin was crude in speech, Ding Fan didn't take it to heart. The worldview of such petty people was so narrow, and there was no point in taking her cousin seriously.

"Zhen Xiang, you go ahead with your work; I have other things to do." Ding Fan nodded at Zhen Xiang and turned to leave.

"Brother Fan, wait…"

Just as Ding Fan turned to leave, Zhen Xiang called out to him directly.

Ding Fan paused and looked at Zhen Xiang.

Zhen Xiang smiled at Ding Fan. "Brother Fan, in a couple of days, I'd like to treat you to a meal."

Ding Fan smiled faintly. "Sure…"

"Have all the flowers from the Southern District arrived?" At that moment, an urgent voice came from the side.

Hearing the voice, Zhen Xiang gave Ding Fan an apologetic smile. "Brother Fan, there's still work to be done outside."

Ding Fan nodded, and Zhen Xiang hurried off.

It turned out that Manager Huang of the logistics department was there arranging work, and Zhen Xiang was going over to report to him.

"Friend, let me tell you, stay away from my cousin. You're not worthy of her." Zhen Xiang's cousin whispered to Ding Fan, "See that? Manager Huang of the logistics department, he's the best match for my sister."

Ding Fan had no desire to waste words with Zhen Xiang's cousin, and he turned around and left.

Zhen Xiang's cousin snorted at Ding Fan's departing figure. "No ability whatsoever, yet so full of himself!"

"Cousin, come help!" Zhen Xiang's voice called out to her cousin from the side.

Her cousin replied and quickly followed her.

Leaving the company, Ding Fan planned to visit Mei Li at the hospital. Yesterday, while protecting Ruoran, Mei Li got shot, so Ding Fan naturally wanted to check on her.

Not long after Ding Fan left the company, and as he was about to catch a ride, he suddenly realized he was being followed.

Though Ding Fan's heart stirred, he didn't choose to go directly to the hospital by car. Instead, he feigned ignorance and walked into an alleyway.

The person behind didn't notice that Ding Fan was aware of the tail and continued to follow.

Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to probe the person following him and was somewhat astonished to find that the person's cultivation was not weak, likely around the Human Level Grade Eight.

Human Level Grade Eight was already extremely rare in the Mortal World, warranting the term unparalleled master. Ding Fan was puzzled as to who the Grade Eight Martial Artist following him could be.

After passing two streets, Ding Fan entered an alley, and the Martial Artist tailing him vanished directly.

Ding Fan was taken aback. Did the other person realize they had been exposed?

Given the situation just now, the other person shouldn't have noticed. Ding Fan stood still, lost in thought for a moment.

What was the background of the other person?
