Chapter 227: Forcing the Palace

ind of thing naturally wouldn't be easy to explain."I have no choice but to say this, look at the burnt marks beside you, that's the best proof. Believe it or not.""Well then, for old times' sake I'll...A barely perceptible smirk played on Shao Dongliang's lips. In his view, the other party's concession was inevitable.

He said, “Just moments ago, the computers in the R&D department were suddenly infected with a virus, causing all the medicinal formula data stored in memory and previous research results to be lost.”

"What How is this possible"

When Huang Ying heard this news, she was shocked and stood up abruptly.

She is Gu Qingcheng's supervisor who stayed at Longteng Pharmaceutical. She naturally knows the situation here very well and knows how important those data are.

Now that all this data is gone, it will be difficult for Longteng Pharmaceutical to develop further in the future, and even its current achievements may not be preserved.

An Yimo's expression also became serious. Although she didn't know the specifics, she knew this was an extremely important matter.

And the other employees in the audience were immediately stunned. This news was like a bolt from the blue for them. Their boss had just promised a 50% raise, and now this had happened.

If Longteng Pharmaceuticals doesn't make a profit, raises are definitely out of the question. The company might even go bankrupt, and they would lose their jobs.

Among all the people present, only Ye Bufan remained composed, as if this incident had not caused him much shock.

The more indifferent he was, the more sarcastically Shao Dongliang's eyes looked at him. In his view, this was just a rich second generation who didn't understand anything, and blindly took over Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

"Ye Bufan said, "Minister Shao, are there any measures to salvage the situation"

Huang Ying eagerly followed up, "Yes, Minister Shao, we must find a way to retrieve the lost data."

Shao Dongliang said: "There's no need to rush. Our technical department is working hard to repair it. Even if the lost data can't be recovered, we researchers have backups in our minds."

"As long as you give us time, recovering the data is not impossible."

Hearing this, everyone else let out a sigh of relief, after all, things hadn't reached the point of no return.

Ye Bufan said: "Minister Shao, the R&D department is under your responsibility. With such a big incident happening, you are the first responsible person and must take full responsibility for it."

Shao Dongliang said, “Boss, I am the head of the R&D department. Taking responsibility for leading everyone to do a good job in R&D is my duty, but I have two conditions.”

Ye Bufan smiled coldly. He had just driven away Lu Feng, and Longteng Pharmaceutical Company had encountered such a major incident. If someone said there was no conspiracy behind this, others wouldn't believe it.

He said, "Minister Shao, then what conditions do you say"

Shao Dongliang said: "The pharmaceutical industry is a highly technical and professional industry, requiring professional leadership. It's not something you can just appoint anyone to the position of general manager."

My first condition is that we must bring back Luo Feng, the general manager. We will not accept this woman leading us now.

Upon hearing his words, everyone was shocked and immediately understood what had caused the data loss just now.

This is not a simple coincidence; it's clear that the R&D department, or Shao Dongliang himself, has started to pressure the new boss.

All eyes were on An Yimo, but her expression didn't change much. Though the blame was pointed directly at her, she believed this man before her could handle the situation.

Huang Ying shouted: "Shao Dongliang, don't be too unreasonable. Who serves as the general manager is the boss's business, and it has nothing to do with you."

Shao Dongliang said: "It's my business to put forward the conditions, it's the boss's business whether or not to agree."

Ye Bufan said, "What about the second condition"

Shao Dongliang said: "I was brought here by Manager Luo. At the time, they offered me an annual salary of 1 million yuan."

I think the salary is really too low now. With my medical skills and research on traditional Chinese medicine, if I were to start my own TCM clinic outside, my achievements would certainly be no less than those of the three renowned masters.

My second condition is a raise, from 1 million to 5 million.

Now the scene was once again boiling with excitement, “A salary of 1 million a year is already very high, but he actually asked for 5 million! This guy really isn’t afraid of money biting his hand, huh”

"Well, what can you do After all, they're the head of R&D. That position is too crucial. I think the boss will have to compromise in the end."

"It's obvious that Shao Dongliang is just standing up for Luo Feng. If the boss hadn't moved Luo Manager, there wouldn't have been so many problems. It's clear he lacks experience. At least he should have inquired about the situation before joining our company."

"Though the boss is wealthy, he's simply too young to be a match for these old-timers..."

Everyone was buzzing with discussion, all agreeing that Shao Dongliang had Ye Bufan right where he wanted him.

Shao Dongliang continued, "It's not just me, all 23 members of our R&D department deserve a raise, at least double what they're currently making."

Ye Bufan smiled faintly and said, "Director Shao, your previous annual salary was at the same level as the general manager's, and the other members of the R&D department also received the highest salary level in the company. "

"Isn't it a bit excessive to ask for a raise now"

"I think it's reasonable. The R&D department consists of research talents, and they are definitely worth this price."

Shao Dongliang looked completely fearless.

"Is it really worth it" Ye Bufan raised the material in his hand and said, "I just looked over your R&D department's achievements. You've spent a lot of money over the years, but the achievements are not many."

For three consecutive years, no competitive research results have been produced.

"You bunch of overpaid, underperforming employees! You're lucky you haven't had your salaries cut already. I don't know what gives you the nerve to even ask for a raise!"

"Boss, you're wrong about this," Shao Dongliang said. "All the products that Longteng Pharmaceuticals sells now were researched and developed by our R&D department."

My personally developed Longteng Red Medicine is a top-notch external wound medicine in China. It has been selling well in the Chinese market for years, and its sales profit accounts for more than half of Longteng Pharmaceutical's profits.

It is no exaggeration to say that without our R&D department, there would be no Longteng Pharmaceutical today.

"Yeah, our Longteng Pharmaceutical relies on this star product, Red Dragon Medicine!"

I heard that Longteng Red Medicine was independently developed by Minister Shao, and the prescription is still in his hands.

"No wonder the Minister of Commerce dared to directly pressure the palace, it seems he has enough capital..."

Huang Ying kept giving Ye Bufan the eye, signaling him to appease the people in the R&D department, but Ye Bufan didn't even glance at her.

He glared at Shao Dongliang with piercing eyes and said, "The R&D department is paid a high salary. Is it really an achievement to come up with such meager results"

The company invests over hundreds of millions of yuan in R&D every year, and you came up with this little achievement You dare to say anything In my opinion, you're all a bunch of useless good-for-nothings.

I really don't know who gave you the nerve to even ask for a raise!

"You..."

Shao Dongliang's expression changed drastically. He thought he was in control of the crucial R&D department, and the new boss would inevitably yield to him. Unexpectedly, Ye Bufan was so resolute.

He said in a gloomy voice, “So, it seems my terms are not agreeable to the boss”

Ye Bufan said, "What if I don't agree"

"I have to agree to these two conditions, if one can't be met, I, Shao, will immediately resign!"

Shaodong Liang directly threw out his trump card.

In his view, Ye Bufan was all bluster and no substance. If he left the R&D department, Dragon Tendon Pharmaceuticals would collapse like a house of cards.t, he glanced at the soldiers around him, his heart was getting more and more confused.What's going on The Minister of War and the people from the Gong family are here too. Why are they so menacing, s...
