“Master Lin, I’m really so grateful for you.” Niu Da Ming grabbed Lin Fan’s hand. He was filled with gratitude. He hadn’t expected Master Lin to really come.

Lin Fan looked at this middle-aged man in front of him and was a little dazed. This Mayor Niu gave off the feeling of a simple farmer. He didn’t seem like a modern person who would follow celebrities. Then, Lin Fan said softly, “Mayor Niu, are you really my fan?”

Niu Da Ming was a little embarrassed but he nodded. “Yes, yes. I, Niu Da Ming, am your fan.”

“Mayor Niu, I can tell from your eyes that you’re lying,” Lin Fan said with a smile. But regardless, it didn’t matter. Actually, he wouldn’t have sat idly by if he had known the severity of this situation.

Niu Da Ming had not expected Master Lin to see through him. He shamefully scratched his head as he said, “Master Lin, I’m really sorry. I’m actually a fake fan. I’ve seen Weibo and I know that you are an amazing person. As Huang Yun Town’s Mayor, I pretend to be a fan of amazing people sometimes so that if a problem arises, I’d be able to request help.”

“That day, I called you because I had no other choice. I couldn’t watch my people continue getting tortured by the illness…”

“Alright, alright. That’s enough, Mayor Niu. You can become my fan from now on then. Next time, if I argue with someone on Weibo, you have to remember what happened here today and help me to scold the opposition,” said Lin Fan with a laugh.

After all, there were sure to be many flame wars in the future. If he had more fans, he would have a greater chance of winning these flame wars.

“Of course. Of course. From now on, you’re my savior,” said Niu Da Ming.

The influenza had finally been conquered now. The townspeople’s health was not an issue anymore.

Li Chong had been watching from the side the whole time. At this moment, he grabbed Lin Fan’s hand and said, “Master Lin, I thank you on behalf of all the county’s citizens. If it wasn’t for you, who knows when the influenza would’ve been conquered? And I don’t know if those townspeople would have been able to make it through.”

“You’re too courteous.” Lin Fan smiled. He had already received many words of thanks. He had had a pretty good rest the previous night as well, so he was very energetic.

“Oh, right. I think this matter has had a large impact on the Internet. I’m going to send a Weibo post now to explain things to the public,” said Lin Fan.

Actually, he felt as if his own Weibo post was more convincing than a Weibo post sent by government units.

When he brought that up, Li Chong thought about something as well.

“After this incident, I have to go to the city’s pharmacies to punish them. They actually raised the prices of medicine and some of them obviously raised it on purpose.”

After the incident when purchasing medicine the previous day, Zhao Ming Qing felt that this problem was rather severe as well. Normal citizens wouldn’t know the full situation but after the scare on the Internet, they were sure to make decisions for their own safety.

This allowed the distributors to take advantage of the situation by inflating the price of the medicine and earning a huge profit.

This indeed needed to be rectified. And it had to be done harshly. That was the only way to let those people know the severity of the situation.

Lin Fan opened his Weibo without hesitation. After putting together his thoughts, he started to type on the screen.

“The Huang Yun Town influenza has been conquered by me, so I’m naming it ‘One-hour influenza’. It has already been resolved completely, so the public doesn’t have to worry anymore. After today, the problem here in Huang Yun Town is over. As for those medications promoted by pharmacies, they are completely useless. Don’t buy them.”

It was very simple. And he had named the influenza. No matter what, he was the one who conquered the influenza, so he had the right to name it.

When this post was uploaded, the comments section instantly blew up.

“????”

“I f*cking spent hundreds of dollars on the medications. You’re telling me now that you’ve conquered it?”

“F*ck. Thankfully, I took a look at Weibo before buying the medicine. I would’ve wasted my money otherwise. Do you know how expensive it is?”

“Well done, Master Lin. These evil businessmen are destined for disaster once they meet Master Lin.”
