Xu Ye glanced at them, not intimidated at all, but instead looking amused.

"Are you out of your mind? We have a patent licensing agreement, and you can't just terminate it like that?"

"Fine, then hand over the breach of contract compensation."

When the contract was signed, Xu's Pharmaceutical had already realized the commercial value of Liukang Cold Relief Granules, so the penalty for breach of contract was set very high, a full 1 billion.

Although Zhang Chaoyang has earned at least 500 million yuan from this authorization over the years, it is still nearly half of what he earned.

Now, not only are we letting Xu's Pharmaceuticals make billions of dollars with our formula, but we're also going to have to pay them money.

How could Zhang Chaoyang possibly accept this?

Unfortunately, the contract clearly stated that unless the Xu Group dismissed him without cause, or Xu Pharmaceutical withheld his patent royalties without cause, he had no right to terminate the patent license under any circumstances.

He signed the resignation voluntarily, which is perfect since it doesn't meet his conditions for termination!

"Kid, you fucking screwed me over?"

Zhang Chaoyang retorted angrily, "So what if that's the case? Don't forget our contract is only for five years!"

"There's only a little over a year left. What happens after the contract expires?"

"You don't want the authorization for Liukang Cold Relief Granules anymore?"

"Don't you fucking forget, that's still billions in losses every year!"

"You're really ridiculous. Do you really think the world can't turn without you?"

"Since that's the case, then I'll let you die knowing why."

Xu Ye clapped his hands, and a young man in his thirties next to Zhou Tong immediately stood up from his chair.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Dongliang. I have a double PhD in Biology and Clinical Medicine from Fudan University. I am also a researcher and one of the partners at MSI Bio Labs."

He took out a document and said to everyone with a smile, "This is Kangjian Kegan Granules developed by our Microstar Biotechnology. The effect is okay, only about 50% stronger than Liukang Cold Granules. It is currently in Phase III clinical trials and will be on the market in a little over a year."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something else: "By the way, Minister Zhang, I should thank you."

"After all, according to the contract you signed with Xu's Pharmaceutical, if you don't resign voluntarily, President Xu can only let you continue to work in your current position for a while longer. But since you're taking the initiative to die, then I won't be polite."

Xu Ye tapped the table and said to Zhang Chaoyang with a playful expression, "I hereby officially announce the appointment of Huang Dongliang as the Minister of the R&D Department of Xu's Pharmaceuticals, responsible for managing all matters of the R&D Department!"

In the previous life, two years later, Kangjian Kegan Granules replaced Liukang Cold Relief Granules, causing the Xu Group a loss of nearly two billion.

In this life, Xu Ye originally wanted to find an opportunity to poach Huang Dongliang, but unexpectedly, Zhang Chaoyang actually walked right into his line of fire.

Since he voluntarily gave up compensation and even thoughtfully gave Xu Ye enough time to wait for Kangjian Kegan Granules to be launched, he certainly couldn't be polite to him.

Zhang Chaoyang was dumbfounded. He rushed forward without thinking and snatched the clinical data from Huang Dongliang's hands.

Upon seeing this, his mind went blank, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Impossible, this...how could this be?!"

It's true. According to this clinical data, Kangjian Kegan Granules are indeed more effective than Liukang Cold Granules, with an effect that is at least 50% better.

But wouldn't that mean his Liukang Cold Relief Pills would become worthless, and his patent licenses would be worthless in two years?

No, how could he accept that!

"What's impossible? Do you think we would falsify clinical data?"

“I represent the Xu Group, and I will be responsible for this matter in the future. Do you think someone of my status would joke about something like this?”

Zhang Chaoyang opened his mouth wide, as if someone had grabbed his neck, and could no longer make a sound.

That's right. Given Xu Ye's status, it's impossible for him to fabricate something like this. After all, it will be exposed sooner or later, and the backlash would only be more severe then.

But his biggest asset was the commercial value of Liukang Cold Relief Granules, which is now gone...

He just threatened the dignified Young Master Xu!

At this moment, everyone came to their senses, and their gazes toward Zhang Chaoyang were filled with sympathy and pity.

The members of the research and development team were completely dumbfounded and hurriedly apologized and begged in a humble voice.

"Mr. Xu, I was wrong before. Please be magnanimous and give me another chance. I can't resign, I really can't resign..."

"Me too, Mr. Xu. I have elderly parents and young children to support. Please let me stay. I'm willing to take a pay cut, even half off..."

"I can lower the price to one-third, Mr. Xu, please let me get the termination contract back..."

In the end, it was Zhang Chaoyang who regretted it; he was filled with remorse.

Damn it, so what if Lei Bao leaves? What does it have to do with me? Why is he meddling in other people's business?

But now that things have come to this, he knows that bowing his head is useless, so he can only stubbornly refuse to admit defeat and hold out to the very end.

"Brothers, let's go! What's there to be afraid of? We're all top talents in the industry. Where can't we find food? There's no need to hang ourselves on Xu's Pharmaceutical!"

He had some confidence, even though he had long since run out of ideas, he had already stolen all of Xu's Pharmaceutical's research and development data.

With this bargaining chip, even if he resells it, he can still live a life of comfort and security. Besides, with his previous savings, what is there for him to be afraid of?

The others realized this as well, and their expressions all softened.

That's right, they have leverage. At worst, they can just move to another place. If Xu's Pharmaceutical doesn't want them, it will only be a loss for Xu's Pharmaceutical. Humph!

But before they could turn around and leave, Xu Ye's voice came again.

"President Yan, notify the security department to seal off the entire R&D department and detain Minister Zhang and all members of R&D team one."

"Mr. Zhou, contact the accounting firm in Jiangzhou City to audit all the accounts of Xu's Pharmaceutical. If any misuse of funds is found, immediately report it to the police and request their intervention!"

Dumbfounded!

At this moment, Zhang Chaoyang was completely dumbfounded. He had been so confident in his previous threat that he assumed Xu Ye would inevitably compromise, and he had never considered the possibility of failure.

Because of this, both Lei Bao's and his own R&D department's accounts are now laid out clearly.

You didn't embezzle?

That's simply impossible. If there were a thorough investigation, not only would he lose money, but he would probably have to spend his entire life in prison!

But how dare he? Is he really not giving them any way out at all?
