Chapter 405: Won’t Revolve Around Men
Ye Ningwan didn’t expect that she didn’t want to avoid Zhan Hanjue, but instead, Zhan Hanjue was avoiding her.
After sending Little Tuantuan upstairs, she immediately called Zhan Hanjue, but he didn’t answer.
Then she called Chen Tan, who was at the company and didn’t go out with Zhan Hanjue.
"Chen Tan, what is your boss up to?" Ye Ningwan asked.
Chen Tan stammered, "Madam, this matter... I’m not very sure about it either. Maybe you should ask the boss yourself."
"Alright, I understand." Ye Ningwan hung up the phone.
She frowned, pondering for a while but still couldn’t figure out where Zhan Hanjue had gone and why he was avoiding her.
Forget it, since he wants to hide, let him hide!
Anyway, she also had things to do, not always revolving around a man.
These days, taking advantage of Zhan Hanjue’s absence, Ye Ningwan met with those from the Traditional Chinese Medicine circle.
Li Qingqing’s death was unexpected to many people.
Some originally knew Li Qingqing was fake but still chose to go along, as long as the benefits were in place, but now they had to reconsider.
Ye Ningwan called Zhao Changyuan to gather these people together.
With Bai Wenjing and Wen Jianan’s support, Shuixian was also brought by Ye Ningwan and forced to acknowledge her identity.
Ye Ningwan’s position as the Sect Leader of the Holy Doctor Sect was now stable.
"Master Ye, it’s not that we can’t acknowledge your identity," said an old Traditional Chinese Medicine director named Old Chen, "When Master Li was in charge, the glory of our Traditional Chinese Medicine circle was visible to everyone. Who becomes the Sect Leader is not important to us. What matters is the substantial benefits and honor they can bring. If Master Ye can do this, we will naturally follow orders and recognize you as the leader of the Holy Doctor Sect in the future."
Ye Ningwan smiled slightly and asked him, "May I ask, Mr. Chen, what is the purpose of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"Of course, it is to cure diseases and save lives," Mr. Chen replied.
Ye Ningwan chuckled, "Mr. Chen also knows that the essence of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to cure diseases and save lives. However, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, curing diseases and saving lives is just a summary. Saving the dying and helping the injured, preventing illness before it occurs, and preventing change after illness are more detailed classifications. And over the years, why has Traditional Chinese Medicine been declining? It’s because Traditional Chinese Medicine works slowly, unlike Western medicine which shows quick results, failing to prevent changes after illness. So, both Chinese and Western medicine have their pros and cons. However, many ordinary people can’t see these pros and cons; they only know that spending less money and seeing quick results means you are the best doctor. And because Traditional Chinese Medicine works slowly and fundamentally, it requires a long process, so the costs naturally increase. Regardless of how it’s reduced, this is a cost that cannot be lowered again. Unless... one disregards medical ethics, reduces the dosage, and passes off inferior goods as good ones."
"Master Ye, what do you mean by this?" Mr. Chen sensed something amiss.
Ye Ningwan laughed softly, "What I mean, Mr. Chen should be very clear about."
With that, she took an account book and tossed it in front of him, "The reason why Mr. Chen’s medical center can earn so much is partially because of this."
Mr. Chen hurriedly picked up the account book to look.
As soon as he saw the contents of the book, his expression changed drastically.
"How did she keep records?"
Mr. Chen was furious.
Ye Ningwan snorted, "Mr. Chen, at your age, you still don’t understand this principle? She wanted to keep you all in check, how could she not keep records? Coincidentally, those account books are now in my hands, and her account books have already been made public. As for the remaining ones, it will depend on your sincerity."
"What do you mean? You want to use this to control us as well, or make us pay tribute to you?" Mr. Chen was astonished.
Li Qingqing did open a lot of financial paths for them back then.
However, much of the money they received was taken by Li Qingqing.
Almost a sixty-four split, with them getting four and Li Qingqing getting six.
Although at first, they were reluctant, later seeing the huge benefits, even getting only forty percent was several times more than their usual profits.
So they no longer resisted and willingly allowed Li Qingqing to exploit them.
Ye Ningwan now says this, could it be that she also wants them to pay a share like Li Qingqing?
If that’s the case, he felt somewhat relieved, as long as there was a bond of interest, he wasn’t afraid of Ye Ningwan overturning everything.
As long as she didn’t ask for more than Li Qingqing, it was still acceptable.
But unexpectedly, Ye Ningwan said, "I don’t want to control you. I either conquer by virtue; such control is meaningless. As for benefits... I don’t need them, but there’s one thing you must listen to me about, terminate the paths that Li Qingqing found for you. You should be clear in your hearts that such paths are dead ends for the Traditional Chinese Medicine circle."
Everyone was shocked, cutting off those financial paths?
But having tasted the benefits, how could they easily give it up?
Ye Ningwan continued, "I know that in recent years, the status of Western medicine in the hearts of the public has risen. And our Traditional Chinese Medicine has been labeled as quackery. Now what we should consider is not how much profit our field of Traditional Chinese Medicine can gain but how to remove this label. So, in the future, you may have to tighten your belts, it is impossible to make a fortune like when Li Qingqing was there. Not only that, but I also want to establish a Traditional Chinese Medicine Foundation and hope you all can contribute. The main purpose of the foundation is to eliminate medical expenses for the poor and to provide some subsidies for colleagues who sincerely serve the people and remember their origins. I wonder if you all would be willing to accept this suggestion?"
"Ridiculous," Shuixian couldn’t help but whisper.
Sure enough, after Ye Ningwan finished speaking, except for Wen Jianan and Bai Wenjing’s raised hands in support, the others were silent.
Shuixian almost couldn’t contain her laughter.
If not for remembering Ye Ningwan’s ferocity towards her, she really could not help but laugh out loud.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Ye Ningwan was not surprised.
She stood up and said slowly, "Everyone, I’ll give you an hour to think about it. No rush, I have all the time, take your time."
After saying that, she signaled to Wen Jianan and Bai Wenjing and left with them.
Shuixian naturally followed her out.
Not to say she was inhuman, she just wanted to give these people some space to discuss.
"Why give them time to discuss, what if they come to dissent?"
Sure enough, Wen Jianan was worried about this.
Shuixian sneered, "It’s not about them discussing and disagreeing, but they wouldn’t agree from the start. You know, Li Qingqing promised them so many benefits back then to get them to agree to establish the Holy Doctor Sect. Now you’re good, just with a word, you want to cut off the interests and ask them to help others? You think everyone is a philanthropist. Junior sister, how are you as naive as the master."
"Shut up," Wen Jianan said angrily.
Shuixian looked at him puzzled, "Handsome, why so fierce? Do you like Ye Ningwan?"
She didn’t know, Wen Jianan was the son of her master Zisu.
