The scene was quiet. After the journalists watched the video, they were astonished. They never imagined that those Senior Professors would be that shameless.
They dared to say something that arrogant and shameless. It was an outrage!
“You guys take a look. All these Senior Professors don’t give a crap about the law. At first, I didn’t want to make this video public and I actually wanted to give them a chance to apologize for what they did. I never thought that all these Senior Professors would distort the truth and gang up to attack me. I… won’t say any more. The more I say, the more depressed I get. All these Senior Professors are despicable. Countless students are looking forward to studying medicine while these people are just using it as the cornerstone for promoting themselves,” Lin Fan said.
“My fellow journalists, don’t you guys think that this is an injustice?” Lin Fan grabbed one of the journalists, shaking them as he said.
The journalists stood there stunned, his expression changing. “Really despicable, really despicable.”
All the other journalists nodded their heads in agreement.
“I never imagined the truth to be this.”
“Blame us for believing all these Senior Professors. I never thought that all they cared about was their reputation and would go to all these underhand methods to get ahead. Master Lin has contributed greatly to the Chinese Medicine field and yet your efforts have been taken by all these Senior Professors.”
“We definitely must expose these people.”
“Yes. Only by exposing them will people realize and pay attention to this.”
Fraud Tian shook his head and sighed, his heart heavy. “Take a look at Master Lin. Doesn’t he look like he lost a lot of weight? All those months neglecting himself in order to finish those three books. I sometimes remind him to take it easy on himself, and you know what he tells me?”
“Can you elaborate on that?” the journalists turned their gaze towards Fraud Tian.
Fraud Tian said with esteem, “He said that these educational materials would benefit the new generation of talented Chinese Medicine Practitioners, and he couldn’t afford to make a mistake and what he wrote had to be perfect. When he was writing those three books, he lost a lot of weight and sometimes, he almost looked like he was about to faint. We were really worried about him then.”
The shop owners who were standing around caught onto what Fraud Tian was doing and also started following suit.
“Yea, we saw all of this with our own eyes.”
“Little Boss is really too dedicated to his job. Sometimes, he doesn’t sleep at night, saying that he cannot procrastinate, or else he might impede the learning of the future students. What do you guys think? Don’t you think that what those Senior Professors did was a gross injustice? Did you guys know that they are posting false rumors about Little Boss online? Little Boss can’t even lift up his head to face the world!”
“They used their seniority to bully him. That is just an abuse of power!”
Lin Fan looked at everyone who was standing around, his mouth gaped open in shock. These guys were just too incredible to have been able to spin a story out like that.
And Lin Fan joined in the fun. “Alright, alright. You guys don’t need to say anymore. This is my duty and now that this has happened, I just hope that I can get some justice for myself. I don’t ask anything else. I just ask that the Senior Professors issue an apology.”
The journalists looked at Lin Fan.
“Master Lin, you’re just too noble, and we respect you for that.”
“Don’t worry, we will report the truth regarding this case. Could you send us the video?”
“Master Lin has sacrificed so much for society, holding a voluntary clinic to treat numerous patients, and now writing educational material for future students. If we don’t help Master Lin to attain justice, I’m afraid we can’t call ourselves journalists.”
“Yes, we all already know the truth about this case. Thinking about the despicable things that the Senior Professors did just makes me so mad.”
“I think sending the video to you guys won’t be such a good idea. Those Senior Professors also contributed to society. We can’t just discredit them for one mistake,” Lin Fan said, his face looking embarrassed.
The journalists looked at Lin Fan in awe.
“I never thought that Master Lin would still spare a thought for those Senior Professors after what they did to him.”
“Master Lin, please send us the video. If they issue an apology, we will not post the video.”
“Yes. That’s right, Master Lin. Maybe you can take this injustice, but we cannot just stand by and do nothing. You are one of the more famous and important people in Shanghai, and you always stand for justice. How can we just stand by and watch you get eaten up like that?”
Lin Fan didn’t reject the request of the journalists. Finally, he nodded his head. “Alright, but you guys must promise me to keep this a secret. If the video gets leaked out, this would be a bad thing. I’m worried that some of the Senior Professors might have a weak heart and probably can’t take it since they aren’t young at all.”
The journalists reassured Lin Fan. “I never thought that you would still think about their wellbeing at this point in time. Don’t you worry, Master Lin. We won’t make the video public unless the Senior Professors refuse to issue an apology.”
“Alright, that is great.” Lin Fan was smiling, satisfied with how that turned out. Time to dance in joy!
…
The journalists all left.
Lin Fan laughed out loud, as he continued to play with his phone. He didn’t worry about the Senior Professors for bullying him anymore. He was just going to let the journalists do their job, and that was almost a guaranteed success.
Fraud Tian laughed. “How was I? Wasn’t I amazing?”
Lin Fan gave him a thumbs up, grinning. “Awesome!”
“That’s for certain. I’m getting a little annoyed dealing with this, but those Senior Professors are really despicable. If you won’t beat them up, what about let me do it?”
Lin Fan looked at Fraud Tian. “Forget it. If you start getting physical, I’ll be the one seeing you in prison.”
“That’s true. But going to prison for you? That is worth everything. I wouldn’t do this even for a pretty lady and that’s saying a lot.”
Just at this moment, a red sports car stopped outside the shop.
Lin Fan stood there frozen in shock as he saw who it was coming outside the car. Was he dreaming? He rubbed his eyes, making sure he was seeing correctly.
“Damn, what’s this guy doing?”
All he saw was Brother Qiang Qiang wearing high-heeled shoes. She was originally tall, but with those shoes, she towered over everyone else. He walked over smiling, her face wearing light make up.
Wu You Lan smiled as she saw him walking over. “Liu Xu, what brings you here?”
“I’m here to bring you out and also at the same time, see the Godly Doctor,” Liu Xu said, her face full of smiles.
Fraud Tian looked at Liu Xiao, her eyes scanning him curiously. She was becoming prettier, but she gave off a dominant vibe and that made people not want to go near her.
Lin Fan looked at Brother Qiang Qiang with strange eyes. What exactly provoked her? But it was a good thing- she looked more and more like a woman, but wait- she was a woman all along.
Wu You Lan smiled. “Brother Lin, when you were in prison, she came over to our shop to look for you to treat her. Liu Xu is a good friend and I hope you treat her well.”
Lin Fan couldn’t figure out what Brother Qiang Qiang wanted, but he had a feeling that this lady had bad intentions.
Liu Xu gave a smile. “Godly Doctor, I’ve got something to discuss with you. Can we go to the car?”
“Sure,” Lin Fan said as he nodded. He wanted to find out what this person wanted.
Inside the car!
“Brother Qiang Qiang, what is the meaning of this?” Lin Fan said directly.
Brother Qiang Qiang chuckled. “I’m not called Brother Qiang Qiang anymore. Please call me Liu Xu. As for what I’m here for, do you not know?”
Lin Fan was feeling helpless. “You know what I was up to. I was in jail for a month, and I didn’t have time to research your prescription. But give me another month and I’ll complete that task.”
Liu Xu waved him away. “There’s no need for that since I’m feeling rather good. Right, You Lan is your employee right? I’m thinking of bringing her away, and she can…”
“No,” Lin Fan cut her off before she could finish what she wanted to say. Lin Fan looked at her strangely, “Could it be that you still bear a grudge against me and you’re here to steal my employee away? Didn’t you say you were feeling fine and pretty now? Why are you still trying to compete against me? You should go back to Jiang Ning.”
Liu Xu chuckled. “Godly Doctor Lin, I understand your situation. Your words are unreliable, and something is a little funny. You Lan is such a beautiful lady and you don’t even like her. Could it be that you aren’t straight?”
“What does me liking or disliking women have to do with you? What exactly do you want?” Lin Fan said, starting to get a little annoyed. He couldn’t read her mind and she was one nut case.
Liu Xu smiled happily, seeing Lin Fan being all defensive and shriveled up. “Just now you said I was pretty. How pretty do you think I am?”
Lin Fan waved her away. “Please, don’t even think that. Why are you so narcissistic? I’ll tell you, you’re really ugly, so ugly that I feel like puking just seeing your face.”
Liu Xu was laughing on the inside, but she gave a straight face. “Touch your conscience, does it hurt?”
Lin Fan thought for a while. “Nope, doesn’t hurt at all. I take pride in telling the truth.”
“Get out!” Liu Xu said.
“Haha!” Lin Fan immediately got down from the car and walked back to the shop.
Liu Xu looked at Wu You Lan and called for her. “You Lan, could you come over for a while?”
Lin Fan couldn’t let them leave like that, and so he called for Wu You Lan. “You Lan, I need to discuss something with you?”
Wu You Lan looked at Liu Xu and nodded, before going up to Lin Fan. “What’s the matter, Brother Lin?”
Lin Fan pointed at Liu Xu. “Just now, that person said she wanted to bring you to Jiang Ning.”
“Ah?” Wu You Lan stood there stunned, before looking at Lin Fan, “Brother Lin, what did you tell her?”
“How else could I answer? I said that you were my employee and so you should stay, and I couldn’t bear to let you leave.”
Wu You Lan blushed as she heard what Lin Fan said. She intertwined and played with her fingers, and she said meekly, “Brother Lin, what you said was quite sudden, and I didn’t prepare for this at all.” Thereafter, she looked up, her voice serious. “But don’t you worry, Brother Lin, I won’t leave Cloud Street.”
Lin Fan nodded his head reassuringly. “Mm, that’s good. My care for you was not in vain. Could you go to tell her, and let her know?”
“Okay,” Wu You Lan nodded, as she turned and moved towards the sports car.
Lin Fan looked at Liu Xu, his face pleased.
Take away my employee? Keep on dreaming! It won’t be that easy!
Otherwise, what’s the point of staying in Cloud Steet?
Lin Fan didn’t know what Wu You Lan told Liu Xu, but as she left, she pointed her middle finger at him.
Facing that insulting situation, Lin Fan couldn’t take it, immediately retorting, “Damn smelly woman, if you don’t leave, I’ll make sure you see something good.”
Screeching tires.
Liu Xu got down from her car, seating on the bonnet of the car. “What’s that? What’s the nice thing you wanted to show me?”
Lin Fan rolled his eyes. F*ck, this stupid woman wouldn’t quit it.
Liu Xu chuckled. “Godly Doctor Lin, I have all the time in the world. Oh right, I was thinking of opening a shop and I see that Shanghai is a pretty good location to do so. Also, you don’t have to rush the prescription, you can slowly do your research. If you can’t finish in one month, one year would be fine. If one year isn’t enough, ten years is fine too. I can wait.” After saying that, Liu Xu got back into her car and drove off.
F*ck!
