The Kunshan Group had been eliminated, but the drugs from the Golden Triangle continued to be produced. Due to the overwhelming strength of Jiang Chen, many Huaxia people were genuinely afraid to engage with the Golden Triangle any longer. As a result, the price of drugs plummeted, especially for the Huaxia people, where negotiations became much easier. The Huaxia Nation was a vast country, and the people from the Golden Triangle were unwilling to lose such a large market. Thus, they lowered their prices to attract those daring Huaxia individuals.
Guo Weiqing couldn't be said to be particularly bold; rather, she felt she had no choice. To save her family's Pharmaceutical Company, she mustered her courage to maintain contact with the Golden Triangle. What other option did she have? Should she let the Pharmaceutical Company shut down? Not only was it still operational, but due to the drop in drug prices and an ample supply, the business was thriving.
Now that the Pharmaceutical Company had risen to prominence, it became a highly sought-after asset. The profits from one Pharmaceutical Company exceeded those of all other industries combined. Naturally, the Guo Family was envious and wanted Guo Weiqing to relinquish control of the Pharmaceutical Company.
Today was the semi-annual summary meeting, and some members of the Guo Family took this opportunity to invite Old Master Guo to reassign control of the Pharmaceutical Company. Although Guo Weiqing was exceptional, Old Master Guo had always favored males over females. In his eyes, no matter how capable a girl might be, she would eventually marry and thus hold little value. Now that the Pharmaceutical Company had become a pillar industry for the Guo Family, it was only natural that it be managed by a male member of the family.
In the conference room, facing interference from various board members and accusations from relatives, Guo Weiqing felt isolated and helpless. Even her parents urged her to give up control of the Pharmaceutical Company. Sitting in her chair with a pen in hand, she lowered her head, trembling slightly.
Suddenly, due to her grip tightening in frustration, Guo Weiqing's signature pen snapped in two. Perhaps it was because everyone had grown weary of arguing or perhaps because the sound of the pen breaking was too jarring; the conference room fell silent.
Of course, this silence lasted only a moment.
Soon after, a cold voice broke through: "Guo Weiqing, Grandpa has already stated that you no longer need to manage the Pharmaceutical Company. Are you not convinced?"
The speaker was Guo Wei Yi, Guo Weiqing's cousin and the eldest grandson of the Guo Family. He was quite capable but often overshadowed by his cousin's achievements. This resentment made him eager to find opportunities to undermine her. By forcing Guo Weiqing out this time, he stood to gain significantly as the eldest grandson.
"I am not convinced! Last year, this Pharmaceutical Company was on the verge of collapse; none of you wanted to take over this mess. Now that I have managed it well, you come here hoping to reap benefits without any effort? Do you have any shame?" Guo Weiqing raised her head and spoke loudly.
"Ha! The Pharmaceutical Company is not thriving because of your efforts. Last year when we went to the Golden Triangle, it just so happened that someone eliminated the Kunshan Group. Others no longer dared to source from the Golden Triangle—our Lin family from Hong Kong Island is one such example. This is due to external circumstances changing; don’t take credit for it yourself," Guo Wei Yi scoffed.
"Cousin, even if I have no credit for success, I have put in hard work! And what about you? Of course, all board members and Grandpa agree with you; I have no choice but to step down today. However, I must clarify one thing: last year’s eliminator of Kunshan warned against any Huaxia people engaging with the Golden Triangle again. If we do so and he finds out, he will come back for blood. I want you all to understand this clearly so that when he arrives, you won’t be caught off guard," Guo Weiqing stated firmly despite her reluctance. Ultimately, she knew that decisions regarding the Guo Family business were not hers alone; public opinion could sway mountains—let alone something as trivial as her stepping down.
