Chapter 458: Chapter 458

Many reporters were looking towards Ding Fan, guessing the identity of the newcomer. Among the journalists, some knew that Ding Fan was the general manager of the branch company.

"He is the general manager of the Dancheng Branch Company..."

Someone shouted, and the crowd, which had quieted down, became turbulent once again.

"Their general manager can't hide anymore..."

"With such a big issue with the Calm Spirit Pill, even if he wants to hide, the state won't let such a person off."

The surrounding reporters were voicing different opinions; Ding Fan just pretended not to hear and walked calmly over to Hu Jin's side.

Ding Fan glanced at Hu Jin. "You've had a hard time; let me handle the rest."

Ding Fan's voice was soft, but upon hearing his words, Hu Jin's eyes immediately reddened. If she hadn't held back, tears would have fallen by then.

After the pharmaceutical incident, all public opinion targeted them, and in Ding Fan's absence, only Hu Jin had to shoulder everything.

Even though Hu Jin was strong, she was just an ordinary woman. At that moment, standing in front of Ding Fan, she inexplicably felt a sense of security.

It was a purely baseless feeling, but deep down, she felt that as long as Ding Fan stepped in, all problems would be easily resolved.

At that moment, Ding Fan turned and faced the surrounding reporters. His stature was upright, making him seem as imposing as a mountain for a moment.

"I am Qin's Group, Dancheng Branch Company's general manager, Ding Fan! If there's any issue, I can resolve it."

Ding Fan's words had an impactful resonance, and just that demeanor alone quieted the already uproarious scene.

"Hello, I am a reporter from Huaxia Daily. Regarding the several incidents involving the Calm Spirit Pill, what do you think?" a young female reporter stepped forward and asked.

Earlier, when he was in the crowd, Ding Fan had already heard a summary; there seemed to be cases of death during the use of Calm Spirit Pills.

"On what basis can you prove that those people's deaths are related to our Calm Spirit Pills?" Ding Fan forcefully retorted.

The Calm Spirit Pill was personally refined by Ding Fan; even if it might not completely cure heart conditions, it definitely wouldn't cause death.

Although Hu Jin's attitude towards the media was relatively gentle before, as soon as Ding Fan took over, his demeanor became frankly strong, causing the faces of the surrounding reporters to darken.

"President Ding, so you mean to say, you want to deny responsibility for the prior medical accidents?" The female reporter, somewhat irate, asked loudly.

"It's not our responsibility; why should we be held accountable!" Ding Fan countered directly.

"President Ding, do you think because you have great wealth, no one can touch you? You saw the elderly man just now, right? He was harmed by the Calm Spirit Pill."

"Unscrupulous manufacturers..."

"All these unscrupulous businesses should be arrested..." Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

Ding Fan's attitude immediately stirred up the reporters present.

Hu Jin's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

With a pharmaceutical accident occurring, the last thing they should do now is offend the media. Just a little provocation from the media, and public opinion would turn heavily against the company.

Watching the agitation of the crowd below, Hu Jin felt a severe anxiety, realizing that if the situation continued to develop this way, it would reach an unsolvable state...

"You unscrupulous businesses should all be arrested!" At that moment, the elder stomped his foot repeatedly as he spoke.

"My father's heart disease was already severe, and after taking their Calm Spirit Pill, not only did it not improve, but it almost killed him. Aren't there any authorities to handle these unscrupulous businesses?"

A middle-aged woman accompanying the elder suddenly sat down on the ground and started sobbing loudly.

When the woman made a scene, the surrounding reporters quickly gathered around...

Looking at the current situation, Hu Jin felt utterly despondent. With things having reached this point, there was no chance of turning things around. The company was truly finished.

Hu Jin looked at Ding Fan; she truly wished that the Demon King of Chaos hadn't appeared at all, then such a situation wouldn't have occurred.

Ding Fan then pushed through the many reporters and went directly to the elder and his family.

"Are you sure you took the Calm Spirit Pill?" Ding Fan asked the elder.

The elder was stunned, but soon he assertively replied, "Of course, I've taken it, and it nearly cost me my life..."

"When did you take it?" Ding Fan asked.

"Half a month ago. Why?"

Ding Fan snorted softly.

The elder's heart condition was indeed very severe. If what the elder said was true and he had taken the Calm Spirit Pill half a month ago, then his heart condition definitely wouldn't be like it was now.

"What? You think you can use your status as general manager to oppress us common folk? Let me tell you, don't dream. We aren't afraid of you! We will fight against you to the end!"

At that moment, the woman who had been making a scene on the ground got up and approached Ding Fan.

"What proof do you have that you have heart disease?" Ding Fan ignored the woman beside him and addressed the Elder.

At this point, the Elder seemed almost amused by Ding Fan.

"What proof is there? Look!"

As he spoke, the Elder directly pulled out a stack of medical reports from beside him.

"Take a good look, these were all issued by the hospital. They detail my hospitalization and the severity of my heart condition!"

Once the Elder produced these reports, the surrounding journalists quickly aimed their cameras at them.

Hu Jin shook her head at that moment, truly not understanding why Ding Fan would have the Elder prove his heart condition.

The reports could definitely prove the Elder's heart disease, but they certainly couldn't prove whether the Elder had taken the heart-stabilizing pills.

In the current situation, the media would surely attribute the Elder's heart condition to the heart-regulating pills, blaming the company.

To Hu Jin, Ding Fan's actions were tantamount to dooming the company!

At that time, in an RV parked beside the branch office, a middle-aged man observed Ding Fan and his group.

The middle-aged man was dressed in business attire and had an impressive demeanor, exuding the aura of a leader.

This man was Jin Guangtai, the President of Yuanfang Group.

After the smallpox epidemic broke out in Dancheng, Yuanfang Pharmaceuticals, in cooperation with the city government, developed a vaccine to control the epidemic, thereby earning a good reputation for the Yuanfang Group in Dancheng.

"Lao Liu, what does that young man do?" Jin Guangtai asked, turning to Lao Liu beside him.

"President Jin, that young man is the General Manager of Qin's Group's branch office." Sitting in the passenger seat, an Elder with graying temples said, "President Jin, that man is named Ding Fan, formerly a scion of the Ding Family. It's said that the downfall of the Ding Family was due to this prodigal son."

"It's truly incomprehensible that Qin's family would dare to use such a person as the General Manager of a branch office," Jin Guangtai shook his head and said.

"However, President Jin, this young man does have some achievements. The heart-stabilizing pill and its ultimate version are said to have been developed by him," Lao Liu commented from the side.

"What use is that, when the operation of a company requires strategic planning? Even if you are superhuman in medicine, what good does it do?" Jin Guangtai said indifferently.

"Isn't that the truth? Seeing Qin's family using a former waster of the Ding Family to manage a company, they're doomed to have bad luck. You've seen it, Hu Jin could barely manage to appease the journalists, but once this Ding Fan stepped in, he immediately antagonized the media."

Jin Guangtai smiled. "In Huaxia Country, if you want to accomplish great things, the last thing you should provoke is the media."

Lao Liu nodded. "President Jin, if we had known earlier that the General Manager of the Dancheng Branch Office was , we wouldn't have needed to exert so much effort to handle them... to influence their heart-stabilizing pill and stage a campaign..."

The corners of Jin Guangtai's mouth curled up slightly. "Even if I am dealing with a mere ant, I will spare no effort. Never underestimate anyone, including ants."

Lao Liu chimed in with a grin, "President Jin's actions are meticulous..."

Jin Guangtai, however, was not paying attention to Lao Liu, as he was fixated on the journalists outside. "What I am doing is merely crushing an ant!"

Ding Fan looked at the stack of reports the Elder was holding.

"So, you're saying your heart condition is quite severe?"

The Elder replied, "Naturally, if it hadn't been for your company's heart-stabilizing pills, I wouldn't have ended up ."

Ding Fan nodded. "If that's the case, do you dare to make a wager with me?"

A wager? Everyone present was stunned, not understanding what Ding Fan intended to do.

"What kind of wager?" asked the Elder.

"It's simple, starting now you take the heart-stabilizing pills, and a week later, we'll check your condition..." Ding Fan said as he glanced around at the journalists. "If your heart has improved after a week because of taking the heart-stabilizing pills, then I win... If I win, I want nothing from you."

The Elder furrowed his brow. "And if you lose?"

Ding Fan coolly replied, "I'll pay you ten million!"

The crowd all gasped in shock.

For anyone, ten million is not a small amount.

"What if you lose, should your Dancheng Branch Company close down? Do you dare to wager?" the previously acting woman said.

Ding Fan gave the woman a glance. "Fine, I wager... But if I win, I want to add a condition, that is, pursuing criminal charges for your fraud."

"Fine, we're on!" the woman exclaimed, patting her ample chest!
