From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 352 - 327: A Shift in the Situation

"I’m not only your younger brother, I’m also one of the company’s significant shareholders. When you exercise decision-making power, have you ever considered that I’m your brother? Have you considered my interests? The company suffers losses, and I’m affected too. Who’s actively expanding the health market? You’re too greedy!"

Tang Jingwei nodded and said, "I knew it was you, so what? If you bring me down, can you guarantee your interests? In the eyes of all shareholders, our interests are one. If I fall, there’s no way you’ll rise. Isn’t it foolish? Sibling rivalry, making others laugh at us."

Tang Jinglun said, "I can help you maintain your position as Sect Leader, but you must hand over the company’s leadership to me."

Tang Jingwei laughed in anger, "No pretense anymore, ungrateful thing, do you remember who took you out to conquer the world?"

Tang Jinglun said, "You’re old now. If you want Huayuan Group to continue running in the hands of our Tang Family, you need to be sensible, big brother. I don’t want you to destroy Huayuan."

Tang Jingwei gritted his teeth and smiled.

Tang Jinglun said, "I know you want to pass the business to Tianyi, and no one is clearer than you that he’s not cut out for business. In other words, you’d rather destroy Huayuan than hand it to me."

"Are you worthy? Huayuan Group was founded single-handedly by me; why should I hand it over to you?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Tang Jinglun smiled and said, "Because you no longer have a choice."

Xu Chunliang slowly exhaled a stream of white air like a silk thread, and his skeletal joints crackled vividly in the silent night, like the sound of firecrackers.

Although what he obtained from Xue Anliang was not the complete "Heavenly Nourishment Chapter," this part was already enough for him to repair his damaged meridians. Once his meridians are repaired, it means he can resume practicing his former martial arts. Although the progress won’t reach the Innate Realm overnight, it will accelerate tenfold compared to before. Continuing this way, it won’t take too long for him to be invincible in the world.

Even though no lights were on indoors, Xu Chunliang could still see clearly that his body’s functions were rapidly recovering.

The upper part of the "Heavenly Nourishment Chapter" focuses on repair, simply put, on repairing the defects of meridians. Cultivating Qi is like managing water; what Xu Chunliang is doing now is clearing the river channel once, but he can’t change the channel’s direction yet. If he could obtain the lower part of the "Heavenly Nourishment Chapter," it would be like reopening the river channel within him and changing its direction. That would be true Book of Changes, washing away the marrow, recreating the innate, breaking through the current physical limits.

Once he complete the repair of bodily meridians, he can resume practicing the "Heavenly Tome." Given his current physical condition, breaking through the three levels won’t be any problem, but to continue breaking through further, he must undergo the Book of Changes, wash the marrow, recreate the innate.

Xu Chunliang no longer harbors such a strong desire for martial arts cultivation, which is somewhat related to the decline of current martial arts. Invincibility is always lonely; a person only has motivation when they have goals. Back in the day, when he was the Five Poison Sect Leader, he had to guard against the encirclement of so-called righteous figures and be on guard against the scheming subordinates within his sect.

Facing internal and external troubles, only by possessing formidable martial power could he subdue the enemy. Xu Chunliang could only continuously cultivate and improve himself, with many masters awaiting his surpassing along his path back then.

But now, with the status of martial arts having plummeted, most of today’s masters are charlatans masquerading as experts. The development of weapons and equipment has made cultivation less important. Even mastering the nine levels of the "Heavenly Tome" can’t withstand the power of a nuclear bomb.

As dawn was breaking, Xu Chunliang received a notification to attend a meeting at the hospital’s headquarters in the afternoon concerning significant personnel changes.

Xu Chunliang had originally planned to return to Dongzhou today, primarily because he had promised to help Su Tianyu with a follow-up consultation.

Now, the branch’s operations are running smoothly. Since salaries are disbursed regularly, the medical staff are at ease. The matter regarding the renovation of the perimeter walls is temporarily shelved after Tang Jinglun and Deputy Town Mayor Qin Zhengyang met.

Xu Chunliang returned with Tan Haiyan, who speculated en route that the major personnel changes would likely be at the hospital’s upper echelon, at least at the vice director level.

Xu Chunliang wasn’t too interested in Changxing’s personnel changes. As long as Zhao Feiyang and Gao Xinhua remained unchanged, Changxing would still be the same old Changxing. The current Changxing had a multitude of Vice Directors, nearly every recruited Ph.D. was given the honorary title of Vice Director, with more symbolic than practical significance. Besides Qin Guoliang, others basically had no real power.

After the restructuring, Zhao Feiyang set up numerous positions of assistant director, further diluting the Vice Directors’ power.

Just as they were about to reach Changxing Hospital, Xu Chunliang received a message from Tang Jinglun inviting him to dinner that evening, urging him to make time to attend.

Xu Chunliang was surprised that Tang Jinglun had arrived in Dongzhou so quickly. Could this personnel change be related to him?

Xu Chunliang and Tan Haiyan were fairly late in arriving, and they sat in the back row.

Shortly after taking their seats, the hospital leadership gradually took the stage, with Director Zhao Feiyang sitting down and chatting for a bit with Gao Xinhua. Among the key leaders, the Vice Director Yuan Peiqiang was not seen.

After a while, they saw Huayuan Group’s Vice President Duan Yuanhong and the past leader of Huanyan Health Division, Dong Changhao, arriving together.

Zhao Feiyang and Gao Xinhua stood up to greet them.

These two people hadn’t appeared at Changxing Hospital in a long time. When they saw them, everyone started to understand that Yuan Peiqiang had probably been reassigned.

Zhao Feiyang chaired the meeting. His speech followed the usual format, summarizing the recent work of the hospital, comparing it with the same period last year to prove the tangible progress achieved since Changxing’s restructuring, and casually painting a rosy picture for the future.

The hospital staff were already very familiar with Zhao Feiyang’s approach, but today’s focus was not on him.

Finally, it was Duan Yuanhong’s turn to speak. According to Zhao Feiyang’s introduction, there was no change in Duan Yuanhong’s position, he remained the Vice President of Huayuan Group.

Duan Yuanhong said, "Today, I represent Huayuan Group to attend this meeting at Changxing. Changxing and Huayuan are already one family, no distinction between us, so the internal changes within Huayuan Group should be announced to everyone."

Being able to become a group’s Vice President requires a certain level of competence. Duan Yuanhong spoke without notes, showcasing exceptional eloquence. He first reported a significant personnel change in Huayuan Group. As decided by the company’s board, Tang Jinglun is dismissed from the CFO position and, effective immediately, is appointed as CEO of Huayuan Group.

The establishment of Huanyan Health, though its concept had long existed, was now explicitly confirmed. Starting today, Huanyan Health is elevated to a status equally important as Huannian Electronics and Jiayue Department Store.

The overall responsibility for Huanyan Health rests with Tang Jinglun himself, while the first Vice President is Zhao Feiyang, and Vice President Dong Changhao.

The newly established Huanyan Health is divided into two parts: Huayi Medical, led by Zhao Feiyang, and Huanyan Health, overseen by Dong Changhao.

Yuan Peiqiang’s original position as Vice Director of Changxing is abolished, and Dong Changhao is appointed as Vice Director of Changxing, with five new assistant directors appointed.

More than half of these newly appointed personnel were management talents introduced by Huayuan Group, with only one name well-known within Changxing Hospital.

Duan Yuanhong clearly announced, "Appointing Xu Chunliang as the Director of the Huanyan Health and Elderly Care Hospital Preparatory Office and Changxing Hospital Assistant Director."

Xu Chunliang was originally sitting in the back row with his eyes closed, meditating, but upon hearing his name called, he opened his eyes. He never expected that this personnel change would affect him, Assistant Director? Preparatory Office Director?

Xu Chunliang had been an Assistant Director before. Zhao Feiyang had once painted a rosy picture for him, offering him a special assistant title to secure the property rights of Weishan Island Hospital. However, that title was merely nominal, and Xu Chunliang gained tangible benefits only by enjoying a deputy department-level treatment. He never believed it was due to Zhao Feiyang’s favor. Despite his short tenure, Xu Chunliang’s contributions to Changxing far surpassed his received rewards.

Now, it was formally announced at the hospital’s weekly meeting by Huayuan Group. The Assistant Director appointed by Huayuan Group enjoys the same treatment as the Vice Director, with an annual salary. Take Yu Weidong, Chief of Security, as an example. After becoming Assistant Director, he receives an annual salary of 200,000.

The title of Assistant Director is also referred to as Director, meaning Xu Chunliang has directly entered the leadership ranks of the hospital, a first in Changxing’s history.

Everyone noticed this significant personnel change, but compared to the Assistant Director role, Xu Chunliang’s other appointment was the real focus—Director of the Preparatory Office for Huanyan Health and Elderly Care Hospital.

Where is Huanyan Health and Elderly Care Hospital? Most of the attendees had never heard of it, and even Zhao Feiyang was unfamiliar.

This name was mentioned for the first time since news of Yuan Peiqiang’s removal. Zhao Feiyang realized that changes were happening within Huayuan’s upper management, and these changes were likely related to the recent scandal involving the General Manager Tang Jingwei.

On the surface, Tang Jingwei’s position as Chairman remains unchanged, but changes in senior management have occurred, with the most significant being the CEO appointment, indicating Tang Jinglun’s faction gained the upper hand in Huayuan’s internal power struggle.

Zhao Feiyang’s role seemingly received a promotion, yet he knew it was an apparent promotion but a de facto demotion. The establishment of Huanyan Health and Elderly Care Hospital excluded him from prior discussions. Huanyan Health was split into two parts, with him responsible for the medical side, while Dong Changhao, returning to Changxing, oversees Huanyan Health, including elderly care, health checks, and medical aesthetics.

Though Yuan Peiqiang previously represented Huayuan, under his unified leadership, now Dong Changhao clearly outlined their division of labor, taking the high-profit, low-risk segments.

Zhao Feiyang felt very frustrated. The establishment of the Elderly Care Hospital had always been his proposal. Now, it finally materialized, but Tang Jinglun excluded him. Tang Jinglun had personally inspected Weishan Island a few days ago, likely for this matter, and Xu Chunliang must have been aware.

Zhao Feiyang scanned the meeting room and finally spotted Xu Chunliang, who was sitting in the back row, meditating as if everything happening was unrelated to him. Zhao Feiyang felt a sense of betrayal.
