Today’s meeting was important, and it was considered a preparation meeting. Generally speaking, the formal meeting was only going through the formalities. But before that, everything would be decided on the preparation meeting.
This preparation meeting wasn’t only to confirm the candidates, but even the new leader would be decided. So when all the National Healers were present for the formal meeting, it would only be going through the formalities. Everyone knew that democracy was merely a facade in China.
Despite the voting in the official meeting, the preparation meeting was more important. So anyone with some intelligence could tell that there was something fishy going on in this preparation meeting. Du Shanping jumped out to obstruct Yue Zun from becoming the leader, which was instigated by Sun Changle. Furthermore, Shao Wentao had hidden deeply.
Everyone had thought that Yue Zun was doomed today, but the situation had developed in a direction that completely exceeded their expectations. Not only did Yue Zun take out evidence to prove his innocence, he even revealed Sun Changle’s plots.
Shao Wentao was trying to distance himself from this matter, and Yu Youqing was worried that this matter might blow out of proportion.
However, Yue Zun still hadn’t ended that placed Yu Youqing and Shao Wentao in an awkward position.
“I received some photos a few days ago. I have no idea who sent them to me, but I believe everyone will understand what’s going on if you look at it. You will also know why I am being targeted.” Yue Zun took out a few photos and handed them to Yu Youqing.
Yu Youqing saw Shao Wentao and Sun Changle in the photo. The two of them were in an entertainment outlet with revealing women around them. The two of them seemed to have drunk quite a bit, indulging in the atmosphere. He spoke out, “These are their private photos, and it’s inappropriate for it to go on the public because their privacy is involved.”
Shaking his head, Yue Zun snorted, “Chief Yu, when are you going to stop covering up for Shao Wentao? No one is stupid in this meeting, and anyone can tell that I’m the target. Didn’t Sun Changle get Du Shanping to slander me because I have threatened Shao Wentao to take over your position?”
Being jabbed in his sore spot, Shao Wentao immediately stood up and pointed at Yue Zun, “You have to take responsibility for what you say. What have I got to do with the conflict between you and Sun Changle?!”
“Do you think that your private transaction with Sun Changle can be hidden? Just the day before yesterday, the two of you registered a medical company. Then again, you guys registered it under your younger brother and Sun Changle’s elder sister to avoid suspicion. If I’ve guessed correctly, you two must be deciding on paving a path for the company once you become the leader, right?” Yue Zun sneered.
Shao Wentao’s face changed upon hearing that. He never expected that Yue Zun could find something so secretive.
He initially thought that he could get it done without anyone noticing, but he unestimated Xia Yu’s ability. Su Tao relied on Xia Yu to establish a footing against Qin Jingyu, so it was a piece of cake to deal with Shao Wentao and Sun Changle.
Sun Changle was also cunning by fooling Fei Mingyang. In reality, he had already decided to register a company before working together with America’s Fyrel Pharmaceutical Company to snatch the pie that was emptied after Cambell Pharmaceutical Company’s withdrawal from the domestic market.
The reason why he got Shao Wentao’s younger brother to be a shareholder in the company was to get his interest tied together with Shao Wentao. So after Shao Wentao becomes the leader, he wouldn’t have to be afraid that Shao Wentao wouldn’t do his best to help.
However, the two of them did not know that Su Tao had already found out about it.
Yu Youqing wore a grim face. He looked at Shao Wentao and Sun Changle, “Do you two have any explanations?”
“So what if our relatives are working together? It’s just speculation without any evidence. As for his accusation that we’re working together to frame him, it’s complete rubbish.” Shao Wentao still tried his best to explain himself.
Nodding his head, Yu Youqing replied, “Let’s call it a day today. I’ll investigate this matter well!”
It was the only speculation for Yue Zun to accuse Shao Wentao and Sun Changle. But everyone here wasn’t stupid, and they could tell if it was true after giving some thoughts into it.
Right at this moment, Su Tao opened up, “Please get to the bottom of this matter, Chief Yu. I have audio recording turned on when I entered. So if you don’t get to the bottom of this matter, then I can only send this recording to the ministry to get them involved.”
Yu Youqing’s face turned pale when he heard Su Tao’s words. He stared at Su Tao for a long time and nearly fainted from the anger. Wasn’t Su Tao a little too much? Did he go as far as threatening him?
He did intend to suppress this matter, but he was now placed in a tough spot after listening to Su Tao. If he did not get to the bottom of this matter, there was a high chance that Su Tao might get the ministry involved. If that was the case, wouldn’t that make him look bad?
As he was retiring from the position, he wanted to leave calmly without troubles. But Su Tao had placed him in a difficult situation.
Bouncing up from his seat furiously, Shao Wentao pointed at Su Tao and snapped, “This is an internal meeting. How can you do something so despicable?!”
“All meetings should be fair and just. So why are you getting so nervous when I’m only making an audio recording?” Su Tao smiled. “Perhaps you’re afraid? Then why were you so overbearing in the beginning? What would happen if Martial Uncle Yue wasn’t prepared beforehand with evidence to prove his innocence? But you want to try and suppress this matter now that the dirt’s on you?”
Yu Youqing stood up from his seat and left the room furiously. Seeing that the leader had left, Shao Wentao also closely followed.
After that, Yue Zun’s friends came up to greet him, to which Yue Zun responded to their greetings politely. Su Tao could tell that Yue Zun held the upper hand in today’s confrontation. The content of this meeting would spread out through the mouths of the National Healers here. Not long from now, all the National Healers would know that Shao Wentao and Sun Changle were in cahoot to obtain the leader’s position.
“Yue Zun is too ruthless today. How can I imagine that someone so usually mild has such a fierce side to him?” Specialist Qiao shook his head with a bitter smile.
“He didn’t have a choice. Even a rabbit would bite upon being pushed to the corner. Did you not see how the meeting developed today? If Yue Zun wasn’t prepared, don’t mention the leader’s position, but he would even be forced to leave the team.” Specialist Miao sighed. “If Yue Zun didn’t have so many evidence with him, do you think that Shao Wentao and Sun Changle would let him off?”
“Chief Yu has no choice but to take a step back. But Shao Wentao was the successor that he had nurtured!” Specialist Qiao laughed.
“Old Yu is too political. If the leader’s position is passed to Shao Wentao, the National Healer Team will definitely go downhill.” Specialist Miao lowered his voice, “After this event, his prestige will fall. The ministry might even be involved.”
“Based on Chief Wei and Old Yue’s relationship, I’m afraid that the leader position will go to Old Yue.” Specialist Qiao analyzed.
“Old Yue is fair and just. He put in effort in that allowance method he came up with, but he was being accused of having ulterior motives by Old Yu for that. That was sad.” Specialist Miao smiled.
After this meeting, three conclusions had slowly spread throughout the National Healer Team. Shao Wentao and Sun Changle had cooperated to frame Yue Zun, Yu Youqing was trying to cover for Shao Wentao, and Yue Zun was the most suitable candidate to take over Yu Youqing as the leader.
Then again, this viewpoint was led by someone in the dark. Su Tao had contacted a few specialists to get them to spread this matter around, trying to influence the view of everyone. He was using a controversy tactic, something commonly seen in politics. It was an effective strategy to launch an attack against your competitor.
When Yu Youqing returned to his office, Shao Wentao came shortly after. With a fawning smile on his face, Shao Wentao replied, “Teacher Yu, please be reassured about this matter. The meeting today might have gone out of hands, but Yue Zun did not have any conclusive evidence about what he said.”
Waving his hand, Yu Youqing replied, “After today’s meeting, everyone will think that I’m trying to cover up for you. It will only make things difficult for me!”
“Teacher Yu, I believe that Yue Zun will instigate no one with your prestige in the National Healer Team.” Shao Wentao’s face changed.
Taking a deep glance at Shao Wentao, Yue Zun replied, “Now that there’s such a huge conflict in the team, someone must be held responsible. I’ve been the leader for years, and I only want to retire peacefully. Little Shao, I’ve treated you well, right? You should know what to do.”
Listening to Yu Youqing’s words, Shao Wentao raged, “Teacher Yu, you’re not asking me to withdraw from the leadership election, right?”
“We don’t have a choice. If you don’t take that choice right now, not only will you not be able to win the election, but you will also affect me!” Yu Youqing replied helplessly with a pained expression.
“I know!” Shao Wentao could no longer suppress his rage. He turned around and left.
This was Yu Youqing’s first time seeing Shao Wentao react to this matter. His heart went cold. He immediately knew that Shao Wentao had only been acting to listen to him in the past. He couldn’t help shuddering.
He sat in his office for half an hour before he took out stacks of documents and gave a call to the Health Ministry’s disciplinary inspection, “This is Yu Youqing. I have a report that I think you guys should take a look. I hope that you guys can make an investigation into this matter. The situation is a little urgent. It’s regarding the purity of the National Healer Team.”
When he hung the phone, Yu Youqing looked sad. He wanted to leave something behind for the National Healer Team before he left. But right now, he only wanted to go without troubles.
Roughly an hour later, the disciplinary team entered the building and arrested Shao Wentao for investigation.
