Chapter 277: Accepting a Heavy Responsibility

Chen Yuan took a deep breath. He knew Chen Qingdi had high hopes for him. He couldn’t betray this trust; he needed to pull himself together and accept this heavy responsibility.

"Boss, I will do my absolute best to complete this mission," Chen Yuan said with determination.

Chen Qingdi nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. I trust you. In addition, I want you to also serve as General Manager, responsible for the company’s daily operations and decision-making."

"Furthermore, Dong Kui and Miao Lang will serve as Business Manager and Financial Director, respectively. The three of you will form the company’s top decision-making body. I hope you can work together to lead the company to an even more brilliant future."

Dong Kui and Miao Lang also came to the office, equally shocked by the news. But in front of Chen Qingdi, they showed no hesitation or dissatisfaction, instead firmly accepting the heavy responsibility.

"Boss, we will do our utmost to assist Yuan and build a more prosperous company together," said Dong Kui.

Miao Lang chimed in, "Yes, we definitely won’t disappoint you."

Chen Qingdi looked at the three of them, his heart filled with satisfaction. He knew they would be the future backbone of the company. He trusted that they were capable of handling these positions and leading the company to an even more brilliant future.

"Boss, we will give our all and not disappoint you," the three said in unison.

Chen Qingdi smiled in satisfaction. "Very good. I trust you. Now, we need to get started on the company’s work immediately. I hope you will cooperate closely and face future challenges together."

The three replied in unison, "Yes, Boss!"

In the days that followed, Chen Yuan, Dong Kui, and Miao Lang began a period of intensive training and learning under Chen Qingdi’s guidance.

They each delved into the various business areas of the company, gradually mastering the relevant knowledge and skills under the guidance of professionals.

Chen Yuan gradually adapted to the role of chairman, and he began to demonstrate his leadership talents and management abilities. He worked closely with Dong Kui and Miao Lang to jointly formulate the company’s strategic plans and operational strategies.

Through practice, they constantly explored and learned, gradually developing their own management and leadership styles.

Meanwhile, the company’s employees also began to feel the changes brought about by this shift in power. Despite facing immense pressure and challenges, the courage and competence displayed by the new leadership filled them with confidence.

Employees began to respond enthusiastically to the company’s strategic plans, and cooperation between departments became closer and more efficient.

Under Chen Qingdi’s guidance, the new leadership team gradually matured. They continuously learned from experience, constantly optimizing the company’s management systems and operational procedures.

After settling the company’s affairs, Chen Qingdi shouldered his bag and left the city where he had lived for many years. He decided to return to the place that had raised him—Medical God Island.

As Chen Qingdi was about to leave, his wife, Shen Mingyue, asked worriedly, "Qingdi, why do you have to go back to that place? You don’t have any family there anymore, and your master has already passed away. Your martial brothers and uncles didn’t exactly welcome you back then. Is it really a good idea to go back now?"

Chen Qingdi took a deep breath, a trace of sorrow in his eyes. "I know, Mingyue. It’s true I don’t have any family left on Medical God Island, but it’s where I grew up, after all. I’m mainly going back this time to pay my respects to Master. I am his Closed-door Disciple. Even if it’s just to fulfill a filial duty, I should go back to see him."

A flicker of doubt crossed Shen Mingyue’s eyes, but she was also moved by Chen Qingdi’s determination.

She said softly, "Since your mind is made up, I won’t say any more. Just be careful, and come back quickly."

Chen Qingdi smiled faintly and patted her head. "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done. You take care of yourself at home."

Carrying his luggage, Chen Qingdi boarded the boat back to Medical God Island.

The sea breeze on his face reminded him of playing by the shore with his master as a child. Back then, he was innocent and naive, full of hope for the future.

The boat gradually approached Medical God Island. The scenery was still familiar, just with a little less life. Overwhelmed with emotion, Chen Qingdi found himself walking to his master’s grave, where a photo of his master in his youth was displayed.

Chen Qingdi put down his luggage and bowed respectfully. "Master, I’ve come to see you."

After spending a few days on Medical God Island, Chen Qingdi went to visit the martial brothers and uncles he had once trained with. Although their attitude toward him remained cold, Chen Qingdi didn’t mind.

He knew full well that after all these years, everyone had gone on to live their own lives.

While strolling around the island, Chen Qingdi happened to run into an old friend, Lin Hao, who had once been one of his best friends on the island.

In their youth, they had trained together, explored secret realms together, and talked about their dreams together. However, as time went by, they had drifted apart.

When Lin Hao saw Chen Qingdi, a look of delighted surprise crossed his face. "Qingdi, is it really you!"

Chen Qingdi smiled. "It’s me, Lin Hao. I came back to pay my respects to Master."

Lin Hao nodded. "I knew you’d come back. It’s been so many years. How have you been?"

Chen Qingdi replied, "I’m doing well, thank you."

Lin Hao suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Chen Qingdi seriously. "What did you come back for this time?"

Chen Qingdi told him the truth, "I mainly came back to pay my respects to Master. Now that I’ve seen him, I can leave."

Lin Hao fell silent after hearing this. The two stood facing each other without a word, memories of the past flooding their minds like a rising tide.

Chen Qingdi’s trip to Medical God Island was over. He began to pack his luggage, preparing to leave. He went to a taxi company, planning to charter a car to take him directly back to the Mingyue Group.

"Liu, I’d like to charter one of your cars to go back to the Mingyue Group," said Chen Qingdi.

"Of course, sir. We’ll arrange for our best driver to pick you up," Liu replied enthusiastically.

"No need to switch to a boat. We’ll go straight by land. We’ll go as far as we need to, and you can bill me for the full distance at the end," Chen Qingdi continued.

"Alright, sir. I’ll note down your request and inform the driver," Liu said with a nod.

Chen Qingdi took out a twenty-percent deposit and gave it to Liu. "Here’s the deposit. Please take it."

"Thank you, sir. We’ll have the vehicle ready and waiting for your departure," Liu said after accepting the deposit.

Chen Qingdi and Liu walked down the road, still chatting and laughing.

"Sir, how was your trip to Medical God Island?" Liu asked curiously.
