Chapter 219: Chapter 219: The Dissolution of the Chamber of Commerce, Reorganization!_1

"Ah?"

"Wh-what?"

"Mayor Shen, you, you’re talking about us?"

Pan Ting and her two companions were suddenly stunned, blurting out foolishly.

"You three idiots! If I’m not talking about you, then who am I talking about?"

"You three have some nerve, showing such disrespect to Mr. Ning? Daring to slander Mr. Ning? I really think you don’t know whether to live or die!"

Shen Weimin roared in anger.

"Mr. Ning? Who is Mr. Ning? Could it be..."

Pan Ting and her companions looked at Ning Fan incredulously.

Under their gaze, Shen Weimin quickly turned his head, walked briskly towards Ning Fan, his expression swiftly changing to one of respect, and with the gentlest tone said, "Mr. Ning, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it was you earlier. You’re right, the River City Commercial Association indeed harbors filth and corruption, and trash like these three should have been expelled from the association long ago!"

"Ah? No, please no!"

"Mayor Shen, why are you helping Ning Fan?"

"Mayor Shen, please don’t kick me out of the association!"

Pan Ting and the others were dumbfounded, begging for mercy one after another.

Especially Zhou Defa, the chairman of the River City Commercial Association—if he were expelled, he would lose all his face, and there would be no place for him in River City’s elite society anymore.

The three of them couldn’t understand why Shen Weimin, the mighty mayor, would go out of his way to help Ning Fan for no apparent reason.

The rest of the association watched all this unfold, even more baffled, wondering why someone like Shen Weimin would be so polite and respectful to Ning Fan?

"Hmph, what kind of person is Mr. Ning? Does he even need my help? You three pieces of trash, you haven’t got the right to stay in the association!"

"Zhou Defa, as the chairman, you’ve abused your power, suppressed members, and even cunningly seized the shares and benefits of member companies. With your sanctimonious appearance shielding a belly full of malice, what right do you have to stay in the association?"

"Pan Ting, you’ve been buying and selling on the black market, disrupting market order, maliciously hoarding goods, and artificially raising prices. What right does a heartless merchant like you have to stay in the association?"

"Wang Jiandong, your Wang Family doesn’t engage in honest business, only knows how to collude everywhere, and you haven’t yet clarified your past bribery and tax evasion. How does someone like you have the right to stay in the association?"

Shen Weimin sternly rebuked the three of them in succession.

The events that had occurred at the Zhao Family a few days ago were still fresh in his mind.

Unless Shen Weimin took a big step upward, his status could never compare to that of Zhao Rongfu.

In fact, when he went to Zhao Rongfu that day, he had a favor to ask.

But as a result, someone like Zhao Rongfu was killed by Ning Fan without a second thought, and the grand Zhao Family crumbled.

How dare he then stand against Ning Fan?

Besides, even without considering these factors, the Rejuvenation Pill and Spirit Qi Water were the hottest products on the market, Tianling Pharmaceutical’s money-making ability was skyrocketing to the top throughout River City, and its potential was even greater than that of the companies ranking second to tenth combined!

In this situation, how could Shen Weimin suppress Tianling Pharmaceutical or drive them out of River City?

Unless his brain was filled with water!

"Zhou Defa! Pan Ting! Wang Jiandong! From now on, you three are no longer members of the association! River City’s business world will no longer accept you!" Shen Weimin declared loudly.

"What? No, please no!"

"Mayor Shen, please don’t, I beg you!"

The three pleaded in terror, but Shen Weimin simply ignored them.

"Mr. Ning, do you still see anyone in the association who is filthy and shameless? Let’s take the opportunity today and kick them all out."

Amidst the shocked crowd, Shen Weimin turned to Ning Fan again, seeking his opinion.

"The association is full of filthy and shameless people, not just one or two." Ning Fan shook his head, his glance sweeping over the members of the association.

Just now, these people were all greedy wolves, but now they had all turned into shivering sheep.

Shen Weimin’s face changed, he gritted his teeth and announced loudly, "The association has become so rotten, I, Shen, cannot excuse myself from blame. Therefore, I declare that the River City Commercial Association is now disbanded and will immediately reorganize!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and dismayed.

The association was in fact a semi-official body, capable of significantly influencing the commercial landscape of a city.

Most companies in the market couldn’t operate independently of the association like Tianling Pharmaceutical, with its ample strength.

For the vast majority of companies, securing the support of the association meant resource sharing and achieving more with less effort; losing its support meant hardship and even the possibility of bankruptcy.

Now, with the association disbanding and reorganizing, it meant breaking the existing pattern of interest distribution—it was time to redistribute the cake!

"Mr. Ning, I would like to invite you to serve as the chairman of the River City Commercial Association and lead its reorganization," Shen Weimin turned once more, respectfully and solemnly addressing Ning Fan.

Due to the association’s special nature and importance, the chairman was not elected but appointed by the mayor.

Whoosh!

All eyes turned to Ning Fan, filled with envy and jealousy.

"Damn it..." Pan Ting’s face turned green.

"Why..." Wang Jiandong’s face was as pale as death.

"How could this happen..." Zhou Defa’s face showed complete resignation.

The three of them had schemed to deal with Ning Fan within the association, but now, not only were they expelled from the association, Ning Fan had become the chairman?

This was seriously a massive irony!
