Chapter 256: Chapter 256 He is the Big Boss

The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Fan and asked, "Who did you just call?"

Chen Fan scoffed, "You’ll find out soon enough."

Zheng Siqi felt a strong sense of unease welling in her heart.

Song Qian blinked her large eyes at Chen Fan, an astonishing guess suddenly forming in her mind.

Before long, Lu Jinyuan hurried to the HR department and pushed open the office door.

Seeing Lu Jinyuan arrive, the middle-aged man instantly stood up, "Director Lu, what brings you here? Aren’t you preparing for the big boss’s welcome party?"

Lu Jinyuan glanced at the middle-aged man and went straight to Chen Fan, respectfully asking, "Mr. Chen, what happened?"

Chen Fan recounted what had just occurred.

Lu Jinyuan looked horrified, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He walked over to the middle-aged man, lifted his hand, and slapped him across the face, "You idiot, daring to blackmail Mr. Chen’s friend using your position—do you have a death wish?"

The middle-aged man held his face, looking at Lu Jinyuan in disbelief, "Di...Director Lu, what are you doing? Why be so polite to him?"

Lu Jinyuan shouted angrily, "He is the big boss of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals. Why do you think?"

The middle-aged man stiffened, trembling as he looked toward Chen Fan, "He...he’s the big boss?"

Zheng Siqi closed her eyes; what she feared most had still happened.

Song Qian’s face was full of shock, her gaze towards Chen Fan filled with astonishment.

Chen Fan looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Now, do you have any objections to leaving Qingfan Pharmaceuticals?"

The middle-aged man panicked immediately, hurried to Chen Fan, bowing and scraping, "Boss, I was wrong. It was an oversight not to recognize the great one before me. Please, give me another chance!"

Chen Fan snorted coldly, "You used your power to coerce others; my company has no place for such vermin!"

He turned to Lu Jinyuan, "Fire him, and while you’re at it, investigate everyone related to him. I don’t want to see anything like this happen again!"

Lu Jinyuan quickly assured, "Rest easy, Mr. Chen, I’ll handle this matter properly."

Chen Fan looked at Song Qian next, "Also, help Song Qian become a regular employee today."

Lu Jinyuan nodded, "Yes!"

Zheng Siqi took a deep breath, forcing a smile onto her face as she approached Chen Fan, "That..."

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at her, saying, "Oh, and remember one thing when hiring in the future. People like her are not welcome. Corruption in a company starts with those who climb up through improper means."

Lu Jinyuan responded seriously, "Okay, I will emphasize this in a meeting later on."

Zheng Siqi froze in place, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat. She could only force an awkward laugh and slink away.

A single misstep leads to a cascade of errors, and now she profoundly regretted insisting on competing with Chen Fan for the seat at the airport.

Had she not done so then, she might have already become close to this unassuming tycoon.

After sorting out these matters, Chen Fan finally looked at Song Qian and said with a smile, "There’s a welcome party later, let’s go together."

As the two reached the corridor outside, Song Qian stopped, her gaze complex as she looked at Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, they all judged you wrongly. Those people are in no position to mock you."

Chen Fan just smiled, "I’ve just been rather lucky."

Song Qian naturally didn’t believe him; ever since meeting Chen Fan in Jiangbei, she’d had her understanding repeatedly refreshed by this old schoolmate. This was not merely a matter of luck.

She hesitated, then asked, "Chen Fan, does the ’Qingfan’ in Qingfan Pharmaceuticals refer to you and... Su Qingyan?"

Chen Fan nodded with a smile.

"No wonder," Song Qian’s eyes flickered with a thick sense of loss, but she quickly returned to normal. She was well aware that Chen Fan was now well beyond her reach.

The two of them went together to the venue where the welcome party was being held.

After finishing with the HR manager’s matters, Lu Jinyuan hurried over to host the welcome party.

The moment Chen Fan took the stage, everyone’s faces showed surprise.

In no way did Chen Fan resemble the boss of a leading pharmaceutical company; his low-key temperament truly caught people off guard.

"Our boss really is extraordinary. Just this low-key temperament is beyond what ordinary people can compare to," someone commented.

The person next to them nodded earnestly, saying, "You’re absolutely right."

He had forgotten that just a short time ago, upon seeing Chen Fan, he had muttered to himself, "Who’s this loser coming from?"

When someone becomes successful, even their farts seem fragrant to others.

The three girls who had previously discussed in front of Chen Fan whether he was a match for the big boss now displayed expressions of shock, embarrassment, and blushing upon seeing that Chen Fan was the big boss.

...

In the evening, Chen Fan returned to the Mingyue Hotel.

He sat cross-legged on the sofa in the presidential suite, with three brocade boxes on the table in front of him, containing the three pieces of Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine.

"Although I’m already at the peak of the mid Foundation Establishment Stage, my breakthrough was too fast, making my realm somewhat unstable. The Foundation Establishment Stage is the phase where you lay the foundation on the path of cultivation. If I can’t stabilize my base, it will definitely have a great impact on my future strength," he reflected.

"To be on the safe side, I should first find a way to firm up my current realm. Once the foundation is solid, it’s not too late to break through," he decided.

"To firm up the foundation, there are two methods: one is to spend time polishing one’s own realm, and the other is to consume Foundation Establishment Elixirs."

"I’m pressed for time; choosing the Foundation Establishment Elixir is the best approach. However, refining the elixir requires a large amount of Ziyou Grass. I don’t know if such a herb still exists in the current earth environment."

"I’ll ask around in the medicinal herb market tomorrow," he concluded.

Chen Fan got up, intending to put away the three pieces of Thousand-Year Elixir.

Just then, the Heavenly Creation Pearl flew out on its own, circling ceaselessly above the three brocade boxes.

Chen Fan watched this scene, his face full of astonishment.

After observing for a while, he spoke to himself, "Could it be that it wants to absorb these three pieces of Thousand-Year Elixir?"

Thinking this, Chen Fan tried opening one of the brocade boxes and took out a piece of Thousand-Year Elixir from inside.

A force of attraction immediately appeared on the Heavenly Creation Pearl, followed by Chen Fan feeling the essence of the medicine within the elixir begin to fade and pour into the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

Chen Fan was shocked and immediately went to put the Thousand-Year Elixir back into the brocade box.

However, just as he was about to do so, the Heavenly Creation Pearl absorbed all of the medicinal essence from the elixir, turning it into an ordinary piece of dry grass in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fan’s face twitched with pain, "My Thousand-Year Elixir, just like that it’s gone?"

He looked at the Heavenly Creation Pearl floating in mid-air, grabbed it, and fiddled with it for a long while, trying to recover the absorbed medicinal essence, but to no avail.

"What exactly are you? Why would you absorb Spiritual Medicine?"

Just then, a strong light emitted from the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

Chen Fan was startled and quickly circulated the power within his body.

However, the light from the Heavenly Creation Pearl soon dissipated.

Chen Fan was puzzled and released a stream of Divine Sense into the Heavenly Creation Pearl, wanting to see what changes had occurred within it.

A few seconds later, he was completely stunned.
