Dr. Wang was very aware of his importance to Tao Pharmaceuticals, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if he walked away at this ti, "Super Brother No. 2" simply couldn’t be launched on the market. If that happened, billions of investnt would have been for naught.
His idea was quite simple, which was to use Tao Donglai against Tao Pinggui.
Although the two were uncle and nephew, they each managed different branches of the family business.
Tao Pinggui presided over Tao’s Comrce Guild, mainly responsible for investnt and financial affairs, with liquid assets of tens of billions; his power was enormous.
Tao Donglai was in charge of Tao Pharmaceuticals. Although its market value was also in the hundreds of billions, a lot of money had been poured into R&D and dications.
Tao Donglai had always coveted Tao Pinggui’s Tao’s Comrce Guild, but due to their familial relationship, and because he had not yet taken the position of the Family Head of the Tao Family, he had no chance to act.
But now things were different. There was trouble with Tao Pinggui, and he even ntioned cutting it off for treatnt.
Think about it, what kind of presence does the Tao Family hold in Jiangnan City? They are the absolute number one family!
If the person in charge of Tao Corporation’s most profitable Tao’s Comrce Guild was exposed as a eunuch, wouldn’t Tao Corporation’s stock price plumt?
At that point, the loss wouldn’t just be a few billion, it would be tens of billions!
Given the temperant of Tao Wenqiang, the Family Head of the Tao Family, he would absolutely not allow this to happen.
Thus, Dr. Wang was now employing a retreat as advancent, ostensibly wanting to leave, but in fact intending to use Tao Donglai’s knife to cut at his second uncle Tao Pinggui’s flesh.
God damn it, weren’t you being all arrogant just now, Tao Pinggui? Didn’t you want to cripple ?
I’ll make you roll straight off your position in charge of Tao’s Comrce Guild!
Sure enough, just as Dr. Wang had anticipated, upon hearing that he intended to resign and leave, Tao Donglai on the other end of the phone beca anxious imdiately, "Dr. Wang, please calm down first. Leave this matter to to handle, I assure you that I’ll co up with a satisfactory solution."
Dr. Wang shook his head, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, but his tone revealed a hint of resignation, "No need, you and Chairman Tao are uncle and nephew, I really don’t want to be the reason for your relationship to sour."
"I’m just a dog raised by your Tao Family; I beg you, Young Master, leave a way out and let fend for myself."
This was the second ti Dr. Wang ntioned leaving. Tao Donglai frowned deeply over the phone, knowing this matter couldn’t be settled amicably anymore.
Tao Donglai took a deep breath, cald his emotions, and continued speaking into the phone, "Dr. Wang, you are the head of our Tao Pharmaceuticals R&D departnt. Without you, Tao Pharmaceuticals would surely plumt."
"For my father’s sake, I ask that you stay for the ti being."
"As for my second uncle’s actions, I will investigate thoroughly. If it turns out he was being unreasonable, my father will surely handle it justly."
He paused in his tone, then diverted the topic, "By the way, Dr. Wang, you just ntioned that my second uncle barged into the R&D room because there was an issue with ’Super Brother No. 2’?"
"What exactly happened? What’s wrong with him? Is he feeling dizzy, is he vomiting?"
"I rember you previously ntioned that the dication had side effects only for patients with liver function issues..."
Upon ntioning "Super Brother No. 2," Dr. Wang’s face beca solemn all of a sudden.
From earlier until now, he was completely baffled as to why Tao Pinggui had that problem, especially one so severe.
Was it because of the dication, or an issue with Tao Pinggui’s physiology?
Whether the forr or the latter, if this wasn’t clarified, "Super Brother No. 2" absolutely couldn’t be launched!
After a mont of silence, Dr. Wang recounted everything he had seen with Tao Pinggui, without leaving out any details.
When it ca to the part where Tao Pinggui ordered his bodyguard to break his own arm, Dr. Wang nearly gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"You’re saying that there’s a problem with my second uncle’s... area?"
Over the phone, Tao Donglai’s voice was indiscernible; it was unknown whether it carried concern or delight, or perhaps both.
Dr. Wang nodded, speaking in a deep voice, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The area was covered with purple spots, abnormally swollen and oozing pus."
"Chairman Tao personally told that the hospital’s solution was amputation or it could be life-threatening."
"Additionally, he ca to for ’Super Brother No. 2’s’ oral solution, saying he wanted to take it for testing. I pretended to agree, entered the lab, and locked the door before calling you, Young Master..."
Thud thud thud!
Just then, there ca intense knocking from outside the glass door.
Dr. Wang looked up and saw two bodyguards brought by Tao Pinggui, using fire extinguishers to desperately smash at the glass door.
Thankfully, the door, designed with bulletproof material costing millions, didn’t show any signs of shattering even after a good while of pounding.
"Young Master, Young Master! Hurry and save !"
Dr. Wang was scared; he whooshed under a lab bench, holding the phone as he said, "Chairman Tao is trying to break in..."
Tao Donglai sighed, aware that he needed to intervene.
After hanging up, he glanced at his brother who was still in the examination room, and then called Tao Pinggui.
"Hello, second uncle, it’s , Donglai. I heard that second uncle returned to our R&D center, I am wondering what happened?"
Over in the lab, Tao Pinggui frowned as the phone rang. Donglai couldn’t have chosen a worse ti to call, it had to be Dr. Wang snitching.
Recalling the exchange they had just before he left, Tao Pinggui felt uneasy.
Back then, Tao Donglai had assured him there were absolutely no side effects, yet now his lower body was in such a state.
Moreover! Even Dr. Wang had admitted, "Super Brother No. 2" did indeed have side effects for patients with liver diseases.
With this in mind, Tao Pinggui suppressed his anger and spoke sternly, "Donglai, tell honestly, does ’Super Brother No. 2’ have any side effects or not!"
