Chapter 987: Chapter 1011:
The Third Elder, humiliated, immediately flew into a rage and snorted lowly, "Stubborn and unrepentant, you will pay a regretful price sooner or later!"
Nianyang coldly spoke, "Third Elder, since you have already withdrawn from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, you are no longer one of us. Please show some respect; otherwise, don’t blame me for not respecting the elderly."
"You!"
The Third Elder bristled with anger, glaring at Nianyang, but couldn’t do anything about it, finally flicking his sleeves.
"Let’s go!" he huffed coldly. "It’s nothing but a financial loss, as if we care. You impudent girl, you will eventually bring ruin to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family."
The crowd followed the Third Elder and left fervently.
Soon, they collectively formed the Medicine Elder Association, aiming to rival the prominence of Wen Qingmu.
They also believed that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, led by Nianyang, would soon collapse. However, they did not foresee that, due to a certain opportunity, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family would soon rise to great fame and henceforth become an eternal beacon of cultural heritage.
But that was in the future. By the time they regretted it, it was already too late. From the moment they chose to leave the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, they had lost the chance to return.
Those who stayed, however, received unimaginable rewards, ensuring their names would be eternally remembered.
Out of the twelve elders, ten left, leaving only the Second Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the long-standing elders in the hall, filling the atmosphere with desolation.
The Second Elder couldn’t help but sigh, "Miss Chu, all the elders have left. What shall we do next?"
Nianyang, seated in the spot where Wen Qingmu once sat, smiled softly, "Second Elder, there is no need to worry. We will proceed as usual. I will not let the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family fall, but instead, make it surpass its former glory."
In this way, she would not disappoint the painstaking efforts of her beautiful master.
The Second Elder was stunned, looking at the confident face of the young girl, feeling hesitant, "But all the elders have left, and there’s already much criticism outside due to Elder Wen’s passing. Now that the elders are gone, I’m afraid no one will have faith in us."
Nianyang laughed, "Rest assured, Second Elder. Their departure is not our loss but their misfortune. Follow me, and I will not let the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family fall. By staying, I promise you will not be disappointed."
This was the charm of Nianyang. She appeared to be solitary, yet her confidence was as though she was the most powerful person in the world.
The Second Elder’s heart shook. Initially only thirty percent convinced, now eighty percent persuaded, he began to speak with respect,
"Yes."
Nianyang continued, "Now let me reassign your positions. The Second Elder will become the First Elder. You are most familiar with the operations of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, so you will manage it on my behalf following the previous procedures. The Eighth Elder will become the Second Elder, and the Ninth Elder will be the Third Elder, taking over the previous roles of the Second and Third Elders. Everything will remain as it is, without worries about financial matters; I have plenty of money. You only need to focus on your duties."
The words "I have plenty of money" were full of confidence.
As long as there was money, the long-term operation of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family could be guaranteed.
This would also create more opportunities to restore the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family to its former peak.
The Eighth and Ninth Elders, or rather the Second and Third Elders, were both grateful for choosing to stay.
Not only did their status have some prestige, but they could also secure a regular income. They immediately expressed their gratitude and developed deep respect for Nianyang.
