Medical Master

Chapter 1327 A Press Conference!

Yao Licheng looked at Fang Qiu, who didn’t even turn to look at him.

His face took on a ghastly expression. Urged by He Xue, he had no choice but to leave.

After she ushered him out, He Xue returned to Fang Qiu’s office.

“Why not accept their compensation? This won’t hinder you from achieving your eventual aim.”

He Xue asked curiously.

“They should pay the money!”

Fang Qiu replied, “But I won’t do anything they can hold against us. The money can be regarded as compensation, but they can say I blackmailed them. No one can tell right from wrong. I’m not just a Chinese Medicine doctor but also the Foundation’s president. Taking bribes is a capital offense!”

“That’s true.”

He Xue nodded and said, “This group of black-hearted businessmen can do anything. If you take their compensation, I don’t know what gross slanders against you they’ll spread in the future.”

“So, I just need to do my best.”

Fang Qiu said, smiling.

“But…”

He Xue frowned and said, “The current situation is: you have forced them into a dead end and made all the Chinese Medicine merchants panic. As you can see, they have tried their best to persuade you to let them off. They have no choice but to negotiate with you.”

“Most importantly, given the current situation of the Chinese Medicine market, these Chinese Medicine companies can’t do anything to help. Dozens of companies can’t reorganize the order of the market even if they joined forces. Are you sure you want to do it?”

He Xue asked.

“I must do it.”

Fang Qiu shook his head, sighed softly, and said, “Even if I can’t achieve my goal, I have to do something. I’ll try my best to change the situation. Next, it’s my turn.”

“Alright.”

He Xue nodded knowingly and said, “Everyone is ready. They can be dispersed all over the country at any time.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

There…

Yao Licheng left the Beijiang cultivation base.

He immediately took out his phone and quickly sent a few messages to the WeChat group.

“I failed.”

“Fang Qiu is obstinate and will not change his mind. He is determined to eradicate us all.”

“Without the slightest hesitation, he turned down all my compensation offers. He even showed me a research report on the current market of traditional Chinese medicine. And he was insolent enough to say he would reorganize the whole market. I think this overly ambitious guy wants to drive us out. What’s worse, he might have been prepared to take over the whole traditional Chinese medicine market!”

After the few messages were sent out…

Everyone in the WeChat group was dumbfounded.

They had thought about it carefully. Their representative would apologize to Fang Qiu and compensate him with 10 billion yuan, plus all kinds of donations and construction plans.

With these enormous contributions, they should be pardoned even if they were supposed to be punished with the death penalty.

If they were abroad, they could be cleared of all charges even without having to give the money to Fang Qiu!

Unfortunately, they were in Huaxia.

No matter how much money they had, it was useless!

What they felt most helpless about was…

Fang Qiu refused to talk to them.

In reflection, the purpose of everyone uniting was to keep the traditional Chinese medicine market. Every one of them wanted to earn a place in the market. But it turned out that they helped Fang Qiu instead. They had been foolishly making efforts to push themselves out of the market!

“What should we do now?”

“We can’t sit and wait for him to destroy us, right?”

“We can only go to the government for help!”

One of them said, “In this case, we can’t expect Fang Qiu to spare us. The only solution is to find government officials. They can put pressure on Fang Qiu. I don’t believe Fang Qiu can bear the pressure from the authorities. We are all important taxpayers from all over the country. The total tax collected from us every year is amazingly high. I don’t think the government will simply ignore us.”

“This seems to be the only way out.”

“I agree with it.”

“That’s it. Everyone, hurry up and get in touch with the officials you know. The sooner, the better.”

During the conversation…

The leaders of these Chinese Medicine companies began to call their local officials, asking for help.

On the other side…

To further heat up the topic, all media outlets nationwide argued intensely over whether there was a fourth company and whether Fang Qiu would expose it. Numerous netizens were also engaged in endless debates.

On the stock market…

All stock prices in the medicine section dropped!

All share prices related to pharmaceutical companies plummeted, whether the price was for traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. Some prices decreased slightly, while some plunged precipitously. Anyway, all prices dropped.

This issue affected the entire pharmaceutical market and brought disaster to the innocent.

The stock prices of many companies that were criticized by the public were about to hit rock bottom.

After all, no one knew if Fang Qiu would expose any of these companies next. For the public, these companies that performed badly on ordinary days would more likely be exposed by Fang Qiu!

...

However…

The media were talking about it heatedly. The netizens on Weibo were also discussing it animatedly.

At this moment, the official Weibo account of the Three Billion Foundation uploaded a new post.

However…

This time, no dark secrets were uncovered. Instead, there was a notice.

“Tomorrow at four o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Fang Qiu will hold a press conference at the Shenghua Hotel in the capital. Reporters from all social circles are welcome to attend.”

After the notice was released on Weibo…

Fang Qiu immediately reposted it.

It was just a few lines without any extra content.

However, such a brief notice of a press conference caused an uproar among all the media and netizens in the country.

“Holy shit! Will Fang Qiu announce it directly to the media this time?”

...

“It is definitely going to be a big deal. All the reporters will be there. If the next company is exposed at that time, it will be a piece of earth-shattering news.”

“Now everyone is making guesses as to which company will be the next. This is now a hot topic. Does Fang Qiu want to take this chance to promote anything? But he doesn’t seem to have anything to advertise.”

“It’s highly possible he’ll expose the next company at the conference. Anyway, we can’t miss this press conference. If Fang Qiu chooses to expose the next one on the spot, it will be a pity to miss it.”

Both the media and the netizens were thinking about ‘the next one’ when they read that Fang Qiu would hold a press conference.

As such…

As soon as this message emerged…

All the media staff in the country were busy making preparations, ready to rush to the press conference.

Media workers in the capital were the most active.

Right after Fang Qiu published the notice, they scrambled to call the Shenghua Hotel to book rooms for tomorrow. The media in other regions changed the scheduled time for all interviews. A few essential interviews for some big shots couldn’t be rescheduled. But still, their interview teams were changed. In this way, each media outlet could send the best interview team to attend Fang Qiu’s press conference.

In just one hour…

The Shenghua Hotel’s rooms were sold out, but many media staff still called to try and book rooms. Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Fɪre

It was rare to see such a bustling scene.

Before long…

A reporter, also a well-known influencer on Weibo, issued a post.

“I’ve received a ticket for the Three Billion Foundation’s press conference. Everyone, wait for me to show up on the scene!”

The reporter attached a photo to the post.

In the photo…

A ticket for the Three Billion Foundation’s press conference could be clearly seen.

Because this influencer often released some critical pieces of news, a large number of people followed him. As soon as this Weibo post was published, it immediately attracted many netizens.

“A ticket is needed?”

“That is to say, ordinary people won’t be allowed to attend this press conference.”

“I wonder how many media outlets Fang Qiu will invite.”

“You must go there in time. With your outstanding capabilities, you can update us on the latest news.”

“You’d better start a livestream. When the time comes, we can watch the conference together through your livestream.”

“I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow!”

The netizens reposted and replied crazily. In just half an hour, many more people followed this influencer working as a reporter.

At the sight of this…

The other media outlets also began to show photos of their admission tickets to increase their popularity!

Undoubtedly…

As the media workers fanned the fire, envious netizens flattered and followed their lead to follow the event. In addition, many questions and doubts would be dealt with at Fang Qiu’s press conference. Soon, this event became the hottest topic.

It went to the top of both the trending topic list and the hot topic list. Now people all over the country were discussing the event.

Unlike the media and countless netizens…

After seeing this news, those pharmaceutical merchants suddenly became more flustered. They all became restless and scared, as they were not sure what Fang Qiu was up to.

They feared Fang Qiu would expose all of them before the media.

If that was Fang Qiu’s plan…

After he publicized these shady inside stories at the conference, it would be too late for the government to put pressure on him.

In panic…

The leaders of Chinese Medicine companies rushed to contact officials for help. Meanwhile, they sent some people to inquire about Fang Qiu’s real intention of holding this press conference.

Somewhere else…

At the cultivation base…

After reposting the post about the press conference, Fang Qiu turned off his phone.

It was because he knew that…

A lot of people would call him. Thus, he switched off his phone in advance so that no one could contact him.

“Let’s go.”

After getting everything ready, Fang Qiu asked He Xue to go with him to the capital.

“You might be in danger tonight. Aren’t you scared?”

He Xue frowned and said, “People falling into the depths of despair might lose their minds and do all kinds of terrible things. Aren’t you afraid that they will secretly attack you?”

“They’d better not do that.”

Fang Qiu smiled carelessly.

Murder him?

He had never feared these people. Fang Qiu was fearless even if they hired the world’s top killers, not to mention those ordinary killers.

Moreover, he would be in the capital at that time!

Over there…

These Chinese Medicine merchants had asked their local authorities for help. At this time, they received the news: these officials couldn’t get in touch with Fang Qiu. Meanwhile, the people they sent to inquire about the information also returned, but they got nothing.

In this case…

All the Chinese Medicine merchants tensed immediately, their hearts in their mouths. A few of them were even thinking of ways to kill Fang Qiu, but they abandoned this idea on second thought. After all, Fang Qiu would be in the capital.

If they were audacious enough to make trouble in the capital, the government would never spare them, no matter how much tax they could pay!

Helplessly…

All Chinese Medicine companies sent their people to the Shenghua Hotel in no time, hoping to see Fang Qiu before the press conference officially began.
