Chapter 418 The New President
Chen Yang simply shook his head and didn't elaborate further.
He drove back home, finding the spacious villa empty.
After a quick wash, Chen Yang immediately returned to his bedroom and retrieved the bronze cauldron.
He fell into deep thought as he gazed at the bronze cauldron before him.
According to Granny Zhuge, the village chief of his opponents used this cauldron with exceptional skill, tossing it into the air and instantly incapacitating Granny Zhuge.
Granny Zhuge had been over a hundred meters away from the village chief at the time, and many top-tier experts were also present around her.
Yet, despite these circumstances, she was still injured by the village chief, whose greatest asset was this bronze cauldron.
Chen Yang studied the bronze cauldron in his hands, feeling a pang of frustration. How did that village chief know how to use it? He had possessed the cauldron for some time but had no idea how to operate it.
Chen Yang sighed helplessly. Fortunately, there was still some yellow energy within the cauldron. This pure spiritual energy was immensely beneficial for cultivation.
Chen Yang sat down cross-legged, holding the bronze cauldron, and continued to absorb the yellow energy. He circulated the Heavenly Doctor Art to enhance his strength.
Chen Yang had already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, a bottleneck he couldn't surpass. However, with the aid of the yellow energy from the cauldron, his strength was steadily increasing once more.
The next day, Chen Yang felt refreshed. He noticed that the yellow energy in the small cauldron was dwindling. This spiritual energy was incredibly precious, and every bit consumed meant less available.
Chen Yang hid the cauldron, took a shower, had a quick breakfast, and then drove directly to Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company.
Since Liu Ran had entrusted Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company to him, he had to put in some effort to manage it.
Arriving downstairs, Chen Yang strode into the company and headed straight for the top floor.
In the presidential office on the top floor, Executive Secretary Jiang Yan had been waiting for a considerable time.
Jiang Yan had received news yesterday that the new company president would be taking office today. She was responsible for the handover, so she had been waiting in the office since six o'clock.
After a long wait, as it was nearing nine o'clock, the office door was finally pushed open, and Chen Yang entered.
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Yang. She immediately stood up, wearing a pencil skirt, and approached Chen Yang with a slightly coquettish smile. She deliberately bowed deeply and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I am your Executive Secretary, Jiang Yan, responsible for the handover with you."
Jiang Yan's blouse was loosely buttoned, and with this movement, her ample cleavage was fully revealed.
Jiang Yan slowly raised her head, feeling smug. She possessed a proud figure, and after some work on her face, she looked both pure and attractive.
Relying on her sweet, endearing demeanor and curvaceous figure, she had become the president's secretary. Now that the previous president had departed, the successor was a surprisingly young man.
Jiang Yan was incredibly pleased. In her opinion, capturing Chen Yang would be very simple. A few strategically placed ambiguous moments would be enough to gain complete control over him, ensnaring him in her gentle embrace.
Chen Yang glanced at Jiang Yan, observing her every move.
He merely gave a cold snort.
It wasn't that Chen Yang disliked women. It was just that at Yangyangyang Company, he was surrounded by stunning beauties.
Not to mention his wife, Liu Ran, but then there was Su Ya, Lin Xiaoli, Zhang Ziqi, Lin Yueyu, and even Meng Qingxue – each one a top-tier beauty.
Moreover, there were so many talented anchors in the company.
Compared to them, Jiang Yan was truly unremarkable. Furthermore, the signs of cosmetic surgery on her face were too obvious.
Chen Yang walked directly behind the desk and said, "Alright, notify the company's core management team to come to my office. Let's have a brief meeting."
Jiang Yan quickly nodded and hurried out, feeling puzzled. Why was Chen Yang so cold towards her? She refused to believe that her figure, appearance, and tactics couldn't subdue a young man like Chen Yang.
Not long after, the company's Executive Vice President, General Manager, and Development Consultant, the three highest-ranking executives, entered Chen Yang's office.
The three men sized up Chen Yang, surprised by how young the new president was. A sense of sadness also washed over them.
After all, Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company had developed well previously, consistently making steady progress and holding the absolute top position among pharmaceutical companies in Qingzhou City.
Now, with such a young man as president, they assumed he must have gotten the position through connections. He would likely turn the company into a chaotic mess.
Chen Yang paid no mind to their thoughts. He stroked his chin and said, "Regarding Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company, I haven't reviewed the files. Please briefly introduce the company's basic situation and future plans."
The Development Consultant spoke, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I will briefly introduce Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company. Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company has a history of over thirty years and was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Zhuge family."
"While it wasn't a core industry of the Zhuge family, significant investment was made in its inception. In recent years, the company has developed well, boasting a large-scale pharmaceutical factory with an annual output of one million tons, a research and development center, and three Tiancheng Rehabilitation Medical Centers."
"Overall, Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company has formed a complete industrial chain, from research and development to production and market engagement with patients."
"The company's profits in recent years have primarily come from generic drugs. However, in recent years, at least two billion has been invested in research and development annually, so the company's R&D capabilities are now very strong. The most crucial part of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company is the Tiancheng R&D Center."
"This is a research center that integrates teaching, scientific research, and engineering. We collaborate with universities such as Qingzhou University, Jinling University, and several overseas institutions, and the feedback has been very positive."
"Currently, the R&D center is working hard to tackle drugs that the market urgently needs, such as targeted cancer therapies, gene detection methods, leukemia chemotherapy drugs, and some common, highly effective antibiotics, among others."
"It is projected that our R&D center will yield results this year, which will bring immense profits."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "So, Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company is quite healthy! And this R&D center seems very impressive."
The consultant nodded proudly. "Of course. Our Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company's R&D Center is not only the best in Qingzhou City but also ranks among the top three institutions in the entire Jiang Province."
"The other R&D institutions ranked alongside us are all state-owned enterprises. We are the only private enterprise, which demonstrates the significant capabilities of our R&D institution."
Chen Yang nodded with satisfaction. "Very well, I understand. You may leave now."
The three men exchanged glances and bowed before departing.
Outside, they all sighed and shook their heads.
Executive Vice President Zhao Bin said helplessly, "Alas, it seems our new president is indeed a scion of some prominent family."
"He comes to take office without even understanding the basic situation of our Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company. It would be a miracle if someone like him could manage our pharmaceutical group effectively."
The Development Consultant shrugged helplessly. "We can only leave it to fate. What we need to do now is to protect our positions and livelihoods, and not upset this young master."
The three men left with sighs.
Jiang Yan entered Chen Yang's office. She smiled and poured him a cup of water. As she placed the cup beside Chen Yang, the cup tilted with a "clatter," spilling all the water onto Chen Yang's clothes.
Jiang Yan gasped, feigning panic, and immediately knelt down, repeatedly patting Chen Yang's trousers with her hands.
While her hands appeared to be wiping water from his pants, they had silently begun to slide towards the lower part of his abdomen.
Jiang Yan knew men well.
This tactic of hers had always been a hundred percent effective.
She was confident that a man of Chen Yang's age couldn't resist such an approach!
