Chapter 179: Face-smacking!
Translator: Lordbluefire
After she said that, the entire scene fell into silence.
Lu Cheng’s mouth was wide open.
Fang Panxia frowned and said, “Miss Shen, my teacher is very busy. He isn’t a character you can casually meet. Even Bro Chen hasn’t met my teacher before…”
Her underlying meaning was that Charles didn’t even bother to meet Chu Cichen, so how could he possibly meet Shen Ruojing?
Naturally, Charles hadn’t met Chu Cichen yet simply because Chu Cichen hadn’t had time to do so. If Chu Cichen really wanted to meet with Charles, how would Fang Panxia dare to stop him? Most probably, even Charles wouldn’t dare to reject the meeting.
When Fang Panxia said this, the people here started chatting again.
Li Dongzhe was Charles’s loyal supporter. Hence, he directly frowned and berated, “Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to call my teacher’s name directly? By doing so, this is simply a sign of disrespect to my teacher!”
Xiao Zhao and the others also revealed expressions of rage. “Even if you are CEO Chu’s fiancee, you cannot use your power to pressure others.”
“That’s right! Charles is immersed in research and stays daily in the lab to focus on his tasks. If he meets whoever shows up, how would he be able to concentrate on his research?”
“So what if you are CEO Chu’s fiancee? Is it very impressive because you are rich?”
“Right now, the Chu Corporation is facing the crisis of bankruptcy. Even the share price has fallen so much. What qualifications does she have to act overbearingly here?”
However, some rational people also spoke out, “What’s the point of saying all these? The Chu Corporation going bankrupt isn’t beneficial to us.”
Everyone immediately shut up.
Honestly speaking, this group of people didn’t hope for the Chu Corporation to be bankrupt.
This was because, in this industrial park, their lives had truly been very good. The Chu Corporation would unceasingly provide all the ingredients they needed for their research.
Up until now, they hadn’t earned a single cent of profit for the Chu Corporation. However, the Chu Corporation didn’t deny any of their requests.
Hence, when the Chu Corporation ordered 100,000 heat dispersal pills to be manufactured for the first time, they cooperated although they were unwilling.
However, when they had to produce 300,000 pills this time around, everyone felt that their bottom line was trampled on.
At this moment, everyone had stopped talking about the Chu Corporation facing bankruptcy. They merely rebutted based on Shen Ruojing’s words earlier. “Miss Shen, your way of addressing the professor is too impolite. Your arrogance is too over the top! The professor isn’t someone you can summon just because you want to meet him!”
Hearing this, Shen Ruojing didn’t say anything.
However, Lu Cheng grew enraged instead. “What do you mean by arrogance? Lord Jing is one of the top doctors in the country, and her status is equal to that of Charles. This is a conversation between two people of equal status. Why? Could it be that in your hearts, the position of a doctor practicing traditional chinese medicine is lower than a doctor practicing western medicine?”
Everyone twitched their lips.
Li Dongzhe sneered. “We don’t mean it this way, but even if she’s a student of traditional chinese medicine, it doesn’t mean she can disrespect my teacher like this.”
Shen Ruojing was simply too young, so everyone felt that it was only normal that her medical skills weren’t too good. They basically had no idea of her status in the medical world.
Just when Lu Cheng wanted to reveal Shen Ruojing’s identity, Fang Panxia immediately disrupted him. “Ah Cheng, don’t be impulsive. They don’t mean it like this. Forget it…why don’t we just invite our teacher over.”
These words were spoken to Li Dongzhe.
Li Dongzhe frowned. “Teacher doesn’t like to be disturbed…”
Fang Panxia spoke, “However, our statuses are not high enough. If Teacher comes to persuade them, maybe the Chu Corporation will change their way of doing things.”
As she said this, Li Dongzhe pondered for some time. “You are correct, I’ll invite Teacher here then.”
After speaking, he turned and left.
Fang Pangxia stood at her original location and shook her head as she looked at Lu Cheng. “Ah Cheng, I know you wish to protect Miss Shen, but you shouldn’t offend Professor Charles like this.”
Lu Cheng stared at Fang Panxia.
He wasn’t a fool.
In the past, Fang Panxia would have said that she was doing everything for the greater good no matter what.
However, just now, he could have stopped everyone with a single sentence, yet Fang Panxia just had to interrupt with ‘the law excuses the masses’, which caused everyone’s anger to be reignited and they started making a commotion again.
He was very disappointed in her.
In the past, he had felt that he didn’t mind if Fang Panxia were to be together with Bro Chen. Because, among all of them, Fang Panxia was the only one who had something in common with Bro Chen. But now…
Lu Cheng lowered his eyelids. “Miss Fang, I didn’t offend Charles. Did you even hear me mentioning anything bad about him?”
Fang Panxia choked.
Miss Fang?
Such an unfamiliar way of addressing caused her to bite her lips. “Ah Cheng…”
Lu Cheng spoke again, “Also, Bro Chen asked you to handle the factory because he trusted that you could manage it well. I and Mr. Chu Yuan are responsible for sales, while you only need to be responsible for everything here. What the hell are you doing now that the people’s hearts are wavering? If you are not capable, you should have said it in the first place. I could have told Bro Chen to get another person who can convince the crowd!”
Fang Panxia’s face turned red from being scolded.
Shen Ruojing who was standing at the side. “??”
She always felt annoyed when Lu Cheng was toxic to her in the past. But now, she finally understood. Lu Cheng was truly loyal to Chu Cichen. He would target whoever failed to do a good job.
Why did she suddenly feel so satisfied when she watched him scolding Fang Panxia?
Her lips curled into a smile.
Fang Pangxia clenched her fists. “It’s not that I don’t care, but Professor Charles can be considered my teacher. Hence, he’s considered to be the one in charge of the industrial park. How would Professor Charles listen to me? You will understand everything when he comes.”
Lu Cheng’s lips twitched.
Bluntly speaking, Fang Panxia was simply incapable!
In the past, he must have been blind to believe that she could be worthy of Bro Chen!
Lu Cheng turned his head away angrily.
Fang Panxia glared at him while feeling very upset. She didn’t expect Lu Cheng, who had always supported her, to suddenly change and support Shen Ruojing now. She truly had no idea what methods this woman had used.
She clenched her fists tightly and lowered her head as she sighed. “However, I’m really incapable. If my teacher comes, he might be able to exchange medical knowledge with Miss Shen, and Miss Shen could awe my teacher. If that’s the case, maybe my teacher would agree to Miss Shen’s request.”
“…” Lu Cheng speechlessly looked at her.
Even if one knew nothing about the medical field, one would understand that traditional chinese medicine was completely different from western medicine. In addition, it had been so many years and many western medicine practitioners said that traditional chinese medicine was nothing but swindling methods. So how could Professor Charles listen to Lord Jing?
All the spectators outside twitched their lips as they waited to watch the show.
At this moment, Li Dongzhe was supporting Charles as they walked over.
Charles was badly angered. With just a look, anyone could tell that he was in an irritable mood.
It was one thing if they lacked reagents and ingredients for research. But now, he still had to come out and argue against someone from the Chu Corporation? If it wasn’t for the fact that Chu Cichen had invested very heavily in the industrial park, Charles really didn’t want to come!
The surrounding people and Fang Panxia opened up a pathway and waited for Charles to lose his temper.
Charles was supported and walked through the door. His tone was very unpleasant as he spoke, “Who is it that wants to see me?”
Shen Ruojing looked over and smiled. “It’s me.”
Charles. “???”
He called out in astonishment. “Jing?”
