"Who are you calling a tumor?" Lu Xin said angrily.
"How dare you, a member of the Chinese Medicine Association, call the vice president a tumor? Who gave you the guts?"
"Do you really think you can disregard the vice president just because you found a back door?"
"Apologize, you must apologize!"
These people were all furious.
In fact, the members of the Chinese Medicine Association knew that these medicinal materials had nothing to do with the association; Lu Yuan managed it himself. However, as the vice president, they had to show some respect. Unless they no longer wished to work within the association, many would choose to purchase them, and this would also please the vice president.
Who would have thought that such a troublemaker would appear, daring to call the vice president a tumor? How could they not be enraged?
"I said Lu Yuan is the tumor, is there a problem?" Li Se said, word by word.
"You brat, it seems you don't want to work in the Chinese Medicine Association anymore, do you?" Lu Xin said, his face dark and extremely annoyed.
"Get lost!" Li Se waved his hand, not wanting to say another word to these people.
"What did you say? Tell me to get lost?" Lu Xin became even more furious.
"Qiangzi, throw them out!" Li Se gave these people no chance at all.
Xu Qiang made his move, throwing Lu Xin and the others out in just a few moves.
"Ahhhh... You just wait for me, I will definitely inform the vice president about this, you just wait!"
Lu Xin's angry roar could still be heard from outside.
"What is going on with this Chinese Medicine Association?" Huang Shanshan frowned slightly.
Li Se briefly explained some of Lu Yuan's affairs. He didn't understand everything, but he could infer some things.
"So that's how it is, then he really is a tumor." Huang Shanshan also disliked such tumors. The Chinese Medicine Association in Qingyun City was not like this, but it was normal, after all, that association was jointly established by her grandfather and Li Se.
At this moment, in a high-end restaurant, Lu Yuan was having a meal with Ye Bowen. He smiled and said, "Young Master Ye, perhaps this method won't do much to that kid, but it can still annoy him. However, he does have Du Jinglong backing him, so it's still a bit difficult to deal with him."
"Du Jinglong?" Ye Bowen scoffed, "He's just the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, how can he contend with me?"
"He's also the head of the Imperial Physician Review Committee," Lu Yuan couldn't help but say.
"These are just mere titles, without any real power," Ye Bowen shook his head disdainfully.
Bang, bang, bang...
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the private room was pushed open. Lu Xin walked in with a dejected expression.
"Second Uncle, that Li Se didn't care about any of this and directly had me thrown out. You must avenge me!" Lu Xin cried.
Lu Yuan's eating paused for a moment, his eyes hardening. "This kid... does he really think that with Du Jinglong as his backer, he doesn't even need to put me, the vice president, in his eyes?"
No matter what, he was still the vice president, and this Li Se actually gave him no face at all?
"He also said you were a tumor..." Lu Xin added.
Bang!
Lu Yuan slammed the table in anger. "This scoundrel, it's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!"
Ye Bowen didn't find it strange at all. This Li Se didn't even put him in his eyes, let alone Lu Yuan.
"Young Master Ye, you must teach this kid a harsh lesson!" Lu Yuan's means were limited. If he acted too obviously, it would be disrespecting Du Jinglong. Now, he could only place his hopes on Ye Bowen.
"Don't worry, the main reason for dining here today is to meet someone." Ye Bowen smiled. As soon as he finished speaking, the private room door was opened again.
"Young Master Ye, the minister is in the adjacent private room," a man in a suit said, walking in quite politely.
"Alright, I'll be right there!" Ye Bowen nodded.
"Young Master Ye, which minister is it?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"From the Ministry of Health. Coincidentally, you mentioned there was an issue with your medicinal materials, so come with me." Ye Bowen said confidently. This time, he was going to get serious.
"Good!" Lu Yuan was somewhat excited. With his usual status, it was difficult to meet such leaders.
Soon, they arrived in another private room. A middle-aged man with a square face and a scholarly demeanor was sitting in this room.
"Minister Chu!" Ye Bowen called respectfully upon entering.
"Minister Chu!" Lu Yuan followed suit.
"Bowen, there's no one else here, so calling me 'Minister' is a bit formal. Just call me Uncle Chu," Chu Bohai said with a smile.
"Alright, Uncle Chu." Ye Bowen nodded. This Chu Bohai was no simple figure; he was the second in command of the Chu family. The Ye family and the Chu family had always had a good relationship. What was even more terrifying was that the Ye family had a marriage alliance with the Lin family and was also preparing to form a marriage alliance with the Tang family. Their ambition was evident.
However, in this capital, many families had tacitly accepted the Ye family's position. It was only a matter of time before some family broke the balance and became the true number one!
"Uncle Chu, how has Miss Chu been recently?" Ye Bowen asked, sitting down, without immediately discussing business, but showing concern for the Chu family's young lady.
"My niece went crazy for some reason a while ago, but fortunately, a divine doctor came and has cured her," Chu Bohai said.
"That's good." Ye Bowen nodded.
"Go ahead, what business do you have with me?" Chu Bohai asked directly.
"A clinic's medicinal materials have some issues, so I wanted to ask for your help, Uncle Chu." Ye Bowen said.
Chu Bohai looked at Ye Bowen and pondered, "Recently, it's been rumored that the Tang family's young lady, whom you are set to marry, seems to be involved with another man, and you were taught a lesson by him?"
Ye Bowen's expression turned a little unpleasant.
"That person is not simple. To be able to make you suffer consecutive setbacks," Chu Bohai was also somewhat surprised. In the entire capital, there were very few people who could make Ye Bowen suffer setbacks.
"Minister Chu, I just sent people to inspect the medicinal materials at their clinic, and they were found to be substandard. Such people must be shut down!" Lu Yuan interjected.
Chu Bohai smiled, "These are not important. There are plenty of reasons to shut down a clinic, but your reason is quite good. How about this, I'll send someone over immediately!"
Speaking of which, he looked at Ye Bowen and continued, "Bowen, the number of times I can help you is limited. After all, some relationships are not meant to be used in this way, do you understand?"
"Uncle Chu, I understand!" Ye Bowen nodded humbly.
"Good, it's good that you understand!" Chu Bohai smiled with satisfaction, then took out his phone, dialed a number, and after giving a single order, hung up.
"Alright, his clinic will be shut down soon. I need to accompany my elder brother to thank that divine doctor, and I also want to meet this divine doctor. You guys eat first."
"Uncle Chu, why don't you bring me along? I also want to see him." Ye Bowen couldn't help but say. If the Chu family valued him so much, it meant this doctor was quite capable. It would be good to get acquainted with him.
Chu Bohai hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright!"
