"This is truly satisfying..."
Ding Huixiang laughed heartily in the video, saying, "With this, their work supporting rural areas will become a huge joke."
"Yes, not only that, but Yun Ting has once again pushed the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association into the spotlight," Wei Datong agreed with a smile.
"That's good. Ruining their reputation is beneficial to us, the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association," Song Chengqi nodded.
Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun were so delighted they couldn't stop smiling. Originally, the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association had imitated their work in supporting rural health clinics, which had made Gu Yuanbai constantly worried that people's opinions of the Beijing association might change.
However, they hadn't expected that Weng Dehai and his group's visit would just be a formality. Instead, Li Xingfa's drunken boasts had completely exposed the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, revealing the corruption hidden beneath the guise of their work in the countryside.
It was a clear case of "those who don't court death won't die," a self-inflicted downfall.
"However, Xiao Wan, although your exposé reflects their corrupt nature, it will also make Sima Wentang resent you!" Gu Yuanbai raised an eyebrow, looking at Wan Yunting in the video, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Yes..."
Jiang Yichun, Li Chengde, Wei Datong, and others nodded in agreement. After all, Wan Yunting had caused such significant damage to the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association; Sima Wentang must be wishing he could kill him right now.
"Heh heh."
Wan Yunting chuckled and said, "They probably already resented me because of the Sima Hongyun incident. It doesn't matter."
Gu Yuanbai and the others nodded, but despite his words, they still worried that Sima Wentang, like a cornered dog, might do something drastic to Wan Yunting.
"Chairman Gu, we must seize this opportunity."
Wan Yunting changed the subject and said, "I also filmed our work today. I plan to upload it to Douyin to promote the integrity of our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association."
"Excellent."
Jiang Yichun and the others smiled, "You are a popular figure in our Huadu City. If you can promote our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, you will definitely gain the attention and support of the vast number of netizens."
"Xiao Wan, you are the best representative star of our association," Meng Kang said with a smile.
"Yes..."
Wei Datong and Zhang Fenglin echoed with smiles.
Gu Yuanbai also nodded and smiled, "Then, Xiao Wan, please promote our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. At the same time, be truthful and never do superficial work. Weng Dehai is the best example of that."
"Understood..."
Wan Yunting, Huang Jingshan, and Gu Luotang, in front of the video, all nodded.
After chatting for a while longer, seeing that it was already half-past nine, Wan Yunting ended the video call with Gu Yuanbai and the others, telling Gu Luotang and the rest to return to their rooms to rest, as they had to continue working tomorrow morning...
Meanwhile, at a five-star hotel in the county town, in Weng Dehai's suite.
*Slap!*
A loud slap landed forcefully on Li Xingfa's cheek.
"You imbecile."
Weng Dehai's old eyes widened, trembling with anger. He pointed furiously at Li Xingfa, who stood before him with his head bowed and not daring to speak, roaring, "I sent you down to the countryside for work, but you, Li Xingfa, instead got drunk, ate, and ruined your brain, daring to utter such words."
"Now it's all over. Wan Yunting has caught your mistake, and you, Li Xingfa, have become a viral sensation..."
Weng Dehai stepped forward, unable to restrain himself, and slapped Li Xingfa across the face, gritting his teeth and yelling, "You viral sensation have utterly doomed me."
With a thud, Li Xingfa immediately knelt down, crying, "Chairman, Chairman, I was wrong..."
"It's too late, everything is too late..."
Weng Dehai closed his old eyes and waved his hand, turning to slump onto the sofa. Even beating Li Xingfa to death now wouldn't alleviate his anger, nor could it change the nationwide judgment against them.
On the television, the national broadcaster's host was reporting on Wan Yunting's exposé. The host severely criticized the incident, causing Li Xingfa, who was kneeling beside them, to turn ashen-faced and completely collapse to the ground.
Just then, the door was pushed open forcefully. Yao Xiangming entered with a cold expression. Seeing Li Xingfa slumped on the carpet with a deathly pale face, he gave him a fierce glare.
"Chairman Yao, what did Chairman Wentang say?"
Weng Dehai immediately stood up and grabbed Yao Xiangming, as if clutching a lifesaver.
"What do you think the Chairman would say?"
Yao Xiangming forcefully shook off Weng Dehai's old hand. Looking at Li Xingfa, who was slumped on the ground, Yao Xiangming, unable to contain his anger, stepped forward and delivered a fierce kick to Li Xingfa's head, sending him to the ground. His head hit the carpet, eliciting continuous cries of pain.
Seeing this, Weng Dehai, Dong Yuanlang, and Chen Xingwang and Zheng Hongye, who stood in a line, were all startled. Seeing Yao Xiangming's face filled with rage, his eyes seemingly wanting to kill Li Xingfa, they all lowered their heads, feeling nervous and frightened...
"Return to Huadu City!"
Yao Xiangming said coldly, turning to glare at the stunned Weng Dehai, and roared, "Everyone returns now and makes a public apology. And you, Weng Dehai, your time as chairman is over."
Upon hearing this, Weng Dehai's aged body swayed. Dong Yuanlang quickly stepped forward to support him, "Master..."
"Sigh..."
Weng Dehai waved his hand, sighing heavily.
Yao Xiangming gave him a cold glance, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
For a moment, the living room was deathly silent. Chen Xingwang and the others dared not breathe. Looking at Weng Dehai slumped on the sofa, his face filled with regret and unwillingness, they knew how big a mess Li Xingfa had gotten them into...
In the living room of a private two-story villa.
"Weng Dehai and his group are finished this time."
In the living room, Chang Maodian of the medical institution was sitting on the sofa with another middle-aged man who had a large belly and greasy hair. The latter was Liu Mingde, a pharmaceutical merchant in Xuxu County. He was smoking a cigar, with his legs crossed, and said with a cold sneer, "I said long ago that those people were useless, just going through the motions."
Chang Maodian nodded. He felt no sympathy for Weng Dehai's situation. He said, "What I'm worried about now is that group from the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association!"
Liu Mingde placed his cigar in the ashtray and flicked off the ash. He nodded and said, "Chen Fu told me yesterday that their person named Wan Yunting is very concerned about our price hikes for medicine, and he even threatened to deal with me!"
Chang Maodian's eyes widened. This was the first he was hearing of this. He asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Liu Mingde smiled and said, "I've already told Chen Fu to find him tomorrow and invite him to meet me for a talk. If he cooperates, I'd be very happy. But if he doesn't cooperate, hehe..."
Chang Maodian's expression froze. Seeing Liu Mingde's cold smile, he knew what the consequences he spoke of would be!
"Old Liu, those people are not ordinary. I hope you take this seriously and resolve it."
Chang Maodian frowned and said gravely, "You should know that if things escalate, even the people behind you might not be able to protect you!"
Liu Mingde took a puff of his cigar and exhaled smoke. He cast a disdainful glance at Chang Maodian and chuckled, "Old Chang, don't forget that this is our Xuxu County. Even if they have great abilities, can they really turn the world upside down!"
Chang Maodian knew Liu Mingde didn't take the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association seriously, but after Weng Dehai's incident, he realized the other party's capabilities were significant. He said, "Regardless, we absolutely cannot let them find fault. Network power is immense nowadays."
Liu Mingde waved his hand dismissively and smiled, "Don't worry. I'll talk to him when I call him to the county town tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll be going back then."
Chang Maodian nodded and stood up, preparing to leave.
"Wait, you haven't taken your things yet."
Liu Mingde waved his hand, and immediately a young man carrying a bag came over and handed it directly to Chang Maodian. Liu Mingde smiled and said, "This is last month's dividend. Count it."
Chang Maodian, holding the bag, weighed it and then turned to smile at Liu Mingde, saying, "No need to count. I trust you, Liu Mingde. However, I still want to remind you, when you meet Wan Yunting tomorrow, you must talk properly and strive to resolve the matter!"
"Rest assured."
Liu Mingde did not get up. He waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to escort Chang Maodian out. After he left, Liu Mingde sneered, not taking it to heart at all...
