Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

From beginning to end, Fang Yu never cared about these despicable beings who judge people by their appearance.

Because he sensed a faint murderous intent, or perhaps hostility, from around him.

On the host's stand, Zhang Feifan said aloud, "Please take your seats, everyone."

One by one, the heavy hitters took their seats.

Ye Wenjun was simply too eye-catching, in the midst of the grand conference hall, with large tables and a splendid scene of lights and decorations, her radiance could not be concealed.

Zhang Feifan began his opening remarks.

It was all generic welcoming fluff, nothing substantial, just a formality. The crowd listened with waning interest.

Many were eager to get straight to the point.

After all, time was incredibly precious for these tycoons.

After Zhang Feifan finished speaking, it was time for the leaders to give their speeches.

It droned on for over an hour.

When all the leaders had finished, Zhang Feifan stepped onto the hosting platform.

He cleared his throat.

Instinctively, everyone sat up straighter, knowing that they were about to get to the main subject.

"Everyone is clear on why we are here today. However, I'd like to announce first the new members of the United Chamber of Commerce for this year."

Zhang Feifan picked up the sheet of paper in his hand, scanned the room, and announced loudly, "The new members joining Yanjing United Chamber of Commerce this year are five: one, Nanshan Company; two, Jin City Group; three, Tengyun Group; four, Ali Group; five, Qingcheng Group."

This announcement immediately caused a stir.

"Aren't these groups from other states?"

"It seems that Yanjing's business layout is not so simple!"

"Once the three great families disappeared, it's like when the cat's away the mice will play, all vying for Yanjing's market."

"Alas, when you think about it, it is Yanjing after all. A place with a large population and a big market. These five corporations are indeed the best in their respective states. It's expected they would set up branches in Yanjing!"

...

Ye Wenjun's face remained composed, not the least bit concerned about the impact of these external enterprises. Ye Family Group has been established in Yanjing for many years, with strength and foundations unrivaled by these newcomers.

On the other hand, Fang Yu was slightly surprised. Isn't Qingcheng Group Jiang Wei's company?

This power woman, to have come this far on her own strength, was truly admirable.

After announcing the new members of the federation, there was a pause.

The venue fell silent.

Again, Zhang Feifan cleared his throat before saying, "Next, we will announce this year's priority enterprises for the United Chamber of Commerce."

Everyone held their breath.

The so-called "priority enterprises" enjoy the right of first pick on official projects and resources.

Other businesses can only indulge after the priority ones have made their choices. It meant others were left with the scraps.

Every year's priority enterprise is the target of contention among all the companies.

"The first priority enterprise, Jin City Group."

There was a loud buzz among the crowd.

Wasn't this the same company that just joined the United Chamber of Commerce? How could they get priority just after joining? How does that make sense?

At this moment—

Mu Yun stood up.

He bowed to the crowd and said, "Jin City Mu Family, thanks everyone for their support."

The Mu Family!!

The many voices of dissent that were originally present suddenly hushed.

The Mu Family is also a Martial Arts Family!

Who dares to make an enemy of a Martial Arts Family?

Local Yanjing companies could only sigh and watch as an external Martial Arts Family devoured their share of the cake.

"Any objections?" asked Zhang Feifan.

The United Chamber of Commerce had a rule that if five companies objected, the priority rights of the enterprise in question would be revoked.

Clearly, no one was going to oppose the Mu Family.

"Congratulations, Boss Mu!" Zhu Hui leaned on the arm of the plump man.

Fatty Mo chuckled evilly and reached over with his hand.

Not far away, Ye Wenjun caught sight of Zhu Hui, her dearest schoolmate from the past. She couldn't help but sigh softly and shook her head.

Zhang Feifan cleared his throat again, and continued:

"The second priority enterprise, Yanjing, Ye Family Group."

As soon as he finished, before Zhang Feifan could even ask, a middle-aged woman seated among the attendees raised her hand and said, "I object."

Someone took the lead.

Those who were unaware were all astonished.

How could there be opposition within the Ye Family Group? It must be known that the Ye Family is also a deep-rooted Martial Arts Family!

"I object too!" Another person stood up.

"I object!"

That was three votes. Two more, and the Qingcheng Group's priority rights would be revoked.

As voices of objection rose one after another, the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

The air seemed to be filled with a sense of oppression.

A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Wenjun's beautiful eyes... She hadn't expected anyone to object. Beneath her calm exterior, her heart skipped a beat.

Was this nervousness?

In countless business situations, Ye Wenjun had never felt nervous. That was because every time she handled work, the entire Ye Family was her steadfast support.

And now... she felt nervous.

Ye Wenjun's eyes glanced sideways at Fang Yu.

She saw him struggling to keep his eyelids open and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Fang Yu even raised his hand, chuckling, "Wifey, don't worry, I'm here..."

It was this unimpressive comforting remark that somehow gave her a sense of security.

But...

Can fists really solve all problems?

"I object, too!" A company head from the back stood up.

Such a thing.

Almost no one asked why.

Just one more vote was needed.

The venue fell silent.

Zhang Feifan also seemed to be waiting to see if there would be a fifth vote.

After waiting a while, there still wasn't one.

Zhang Feifang asked, "Does anyone else object?"

Ye Wenjun couldn't help but clench her fists, her palms sweating without her realizing.

Just when everyone thought there wouldn't be a fifth vote—

Zhu Hui, who was sitting next to Boss Mu in the front, suddenly stood up and said loudly,

"I object."

Zhang Feifan frowned, asking, "Which enterprise do you represent?"

"Jin City Group!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Jin City Group, that is the Mu Family of Jin City!

The Mu Family openly objected to the Ye Family! The situation seemed to have become complicated.

Beside her, Mu Yun laughed and said, "I apologize, Chairman Zhang, this beautiful lady is our company's chief consultant."

Zhang Feifan nodded, sighing somewhat helplessly, and said, "Alright... I declare that Qingcheng Group's priority rights are revo—"

"Hold on!"

Before the word "revoked" could be uttered, Ye Wenjun's cool voice rang out.

Everyone's gaze focused on her.

"Miss Ye, do you have any questions?" Zhang Feifan asked.

"I understand everyone's objections, but please state your reasons," Ye Wenjun said evenly.

Zhang Feifan nodded.

"Please state the reasons for your objections."

This time, without waiting for the previous objectors to stand up, Zhu Hui chuckled lightly and said,

"The reason, I can tell you myself... First of all, Ye Wenjun received a foreign education, her mindset does not align with the domestic aesthetic, some management concepts do not maximize the value of the resources obtained through the priority rights. This can be seen from the northern land acquired two years ago, to this day, only 40% has been developed."

The bosses around the room nodded in agreement.

Land that's only 40% developed in two years—that's a waste of resources!

"Secondly, after all, Ye Wenjun is a woman. All key positions within Qingcheng Group, except for herself, are in the hands of outsiders. This is very detrimental to company management!"

Again, everyone nodded, deeply agreeing.

"Lastly, the most important point. As one of the former three great Martial Arts Families of Yanjing, the Ye Family is the weakest. As far as I know..." Zhu Hui turned her head, glancing provocatively at Ye Wenjun before continuing, "The actual ruler of Qingcheng Group, Ye Xingkong, has suffered a serious injury and is estimated to live at most another three years... Old Master Ye is ninety this year, it's even less likely he will come out of retirement... The two Great Protectors of the Hidden Dragon Guards, Nie Ning and Nie Wu, rebelled and died, further demonstrating serious internal issues within the Ye Family. The only male heir Ye Xingchen is nowhere to be found... In summary, the Commercial Federation should revoke Qingcheng Group's priority rights, and I also think that Qingcheng Group should not be listed as a member of the United Chamber of Commerce!"
