Chapter 1227


    Lily didn''t respond directly, but instead, she nced at Fade and then at Ryan. After a while, she


    responded in a clipped tone, "Mr. Hu, what if I don''t think you''re the right candidate and I don''t agree


    to the voting?"


    Ryan was startled for a split second and his gaze became even more piercing.


    He didn''t expect Lily to have such an unyielding attitude. She didn''t even bother to find an excuse to


    reject him.


    His face became sullen and his eyebrows raised. He then said in a somewhat threatening tone,


    "Miss Wei, you shouldn''t be emotional when ites to deciding this. After all, this affects the


    wholepany and if any problem was to arise after the decision making, it will only cause great


    damage to thepany."


    "Are you threatening me?" Lily snorted as she red at Ryan.


    Ryan didn''t want to put on a show anymore. He snorted and spoke honestly, "If a leader won''t listen


    to their followers, how is thepany supposed to operate smoothly? To say the very least, our


    sales department doesn''t agree to have you as the acting chairman."


    After saying that, Ryan nced around at the people who had supported him just now. They


    immediately agreed in unison.


    "Miss Wei, our production department also agrees with Mr. Hu."


    "Miss Wei, I have contacted several suppliers and they’re all concerned about who’s going to be our


    chairman. They wouldn''t trust the position with anyone ordinary."


    "I''ll get straight to the point, Miss Wei. If you be the acting chairman, the entire research


    department will resign." Ramsey Huang, a member of thepany''s research department, spoke


    up threateningly.


    Concurrently, Lily''s face had be grim and her eyes were burning with anger.


    She looked like a volcano that was soon to erupt at any time.


    Seeing this, Fade gently patted Lily''s shoulder and cast a long nce around him before chuckling


    softly. He said, "Sister Lily, let me say something."


    "Sure." Lily nodded and sat down. She watched Fade stand up from his seat and walk toward Ryan


    and the others.


    Fade had not spoken much from the moment he had joined the meeting. Ryan and the others had


    almost forgotten about his existence. However, with Fade getting up and walking towards them now,


    they all started feeling apprehensive.


    Nevertheless, with therge support he possessed, Ryan was at ease as he knew that thepany


    would at least feel pressured by them. He did not fear Fade, and he was ready to face him head-on.


    Fade ignored Ryan. Instead, he walked right up to Ramsey and said, "You''re saying that once Lily is


    the chairman, you’ll resign, right?"


    Ramsey gritted his teeth despite his fear and replied firmly, "Not only me but also the whole


    research department."


    Ramsey sounded confident. After all, the research department was one of the key departments in


    thepany. Without them, new products couldn''t be developed and old products couldn''t be


    improved. Thepany''s performance would only deteriorate in their absence.

    To form a research team was not an easy task. It was a timely process to identify the research


    direction, to explore necessary methods and strategies, and not to mention to solidify the


    coboration among the team members. It couldn'' t be done overnight.


    Therefore, if the research department were to resign altogether, it would certainly have a


    tremendous impact on thepany. Ramsey was confident that thepany would never let go of


    the entire research department.


    Fade noticed how confident Ramsey looked and he figured out what Ramsey was thinking. He then


    said to Ramsey with a sneer, "In that case, I will grant your wish. The research department will be


    dismissed effectively from now."


    "Sister Lily, you may announce the decision." Fade gestured at Lily after that.


    Lily immediately called her secretary over and was ready to dere this official statement.


    Ramsey, Ryan, and the rest were all stupefied by this. They didn''t expect Fade would be this cruel


    to kick out the entire research department without second thoughts.


    For a moment, Ramsey was flushed with anger and stuttered anxiously, "You... How can you do


    this? How dare you..."


    Ryan and the others voiced their dissent too.


    "Miss Wei, you''ve gone too far by doing this!"


    "If we cut off the whole research department, what will we do with ourpany''s products in the


    future?"


    "President Chen, you rarely make your visit to thepany and maybe you don''t know the


    importance of the research department. It''s the core department that determines the survival of our


    company. How can you make such a rash decision?" Ryan roared as he pointed his finger at Fade.


    The words he uttered were not only against the decision but also hinted that Fade was merely a


    manager by name and didn''t know better about thepany''s operation.


    He thought that Fade would be affected by his words, but Fade was not bothered in the slightest.


    He red at Ryan and others and said, "Are you implying that I don''t know much about the


    research department? Who do you think developed the best selling products of thepany? Was


    it Dr. Huang over here?"


    "I..." Ramsey was flustered and he couldn'' t respond.


    This was because the best selling products in the past two years were not developed by their


    department. This included the scar removal gel as well as Fei''s Life Elixir Wine. President Lin had


    directly brought them over for production. They did not know who had developed these products.


    Lily spoke up at this moment, "Both the scar removal gel and Fei'' s Life Elixir Wine were developed


    by President Chen alone. Moreover, the forms of the products under the same series as well as


    the new products we sell in Jade City were all from President Chen."


    "Now, do you still dare say that he doesn''t know a thing about research and development?" Lily


    retorted.


    "What? How could this be... Those best-selling products were actually developed by him? 1-1 don''t


    believe it!" Ramsey was in disbelief to hear the revtion. "Any new product requires thousands of


    experiments and constant trials. How could he have done that In such a short time?"


    "Nothing is impossible." Lily interrupted Ramsey as she continued saying, "Don''t forget that


    President Chen is also the founder of the Sincere Medical Center. The Ephedra Syrup developed by


    him was acknowledged and even awarded by our country leaders."


    "He developed the Ephedra Syrup, the medicine that could break the monopolization by foreign


    medicines in our country. Do you think he can''t develop some ordinary makeup products?" she


    added.


    Everyone was reminded of Fade''s achievements and identities upon hearing Lily''s words.


    In that split second, everyone''s expressions darkened. As for Ramsey, he had turned ashen pale.
