Chapter 315 - Unearned Reputation (1/2)
Chapter 315 Unearned ReputationWang Haiyan looked gloomy. He was surprised that Lin Momo would embarrass him and his family like this.
In contrast, Wang Dacheng seemed much calmer. He said, “Momo, I know he’s the inventor of the Blood Revival Elixir. He might’ve run into a formula that could cure leukemia, but that’s pure luck.
I was born to the Wangs, so other people see me as a trust fund baby. However, I build my own career in M Country by myself. For example, Maldini Jr. is thinking about investing in the Celestial Land only because of the charm of my personality. That has nothing to do with my family.”
He expressed his opinion in a logical and subtle way. At first, he expressed his disapproval of Qin Haodong’s achievements indirectly, and then he showed off his biggest achievements so far. Those favored by Maldini Jr. surely were never ordinary people.
The other people on site gave him a warm applause upon hearing that, including his relatives, who were also cheering for him. Being connected with Maldini Jr. was definitely something they could be proud of!
Wang Dacheng seemed quite satisfied with that achievement, as he believed Lin Momo would look up to him.
However, Lin Momo did not seem to have noticed him at all. Instead, she argued calmly, “You think you’re the only one who has endeavored to succeed? Haodong developed the Blood Revival Elixir because he has superb medical skills. He earned the reputation and title of the Medical Sage because he deserved it.”
“Did he?” Wang Dacheng replied disdainfully, “He’s too young to call himself ‘Medical Sage’, which means he’s definitely an arrogant man. I’m afraid that’s an unearned reputation.”
As soon as he said that, someone argued angrily, “His medical skills helped him win the title of Medical Sage. I’m afraid I can’t agree with whoever calls this unearned reputation.”
Gao Fengwen spoke as he walked among the crowded room with other members of the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association. He now admired and respected Qin Haodong’s medical skills and personality a lot. He stepped forward and argued right away when he saw someone doubt Qin Haodong.
“Mr. Wang, judging from what you said just now, I believe that you don’t know a thing about Chinese medicine and don’t respect Chinese medicine practitioners. I’m telling you right here, right now, that I won’t join your so-called Celestial Land Hall of Medical Fame.”
“Count me in! I, Shen Fuxiang, won’t join the Hall of Medical Fame either…”
“I, Zhong Sihai, won’t join the Hall of Medical Fame either…”
One voice fell while another rose. All the members of the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association in Jiangnan had taken this side and refused to accept the invitation to join the Celestial Land Hall of Medical Fame.
Although Wang Dacheng appeared calm, he was very shocked deep within. He was astonished to see how influential Qin Haodong was in the Chinese medicine field. People reacted so violently based on his simple words.
Upon seeing his family get humiliated again and again, Wang Dazhi finally lost control and yelled, “Old-timers, how dare you yell and scream in the Wangs’ presence! I’ll establish the Hall of Medical Fame without you. Now, get out of here!
Security, toss them out of the club!”
His yelling voice made more than ten guards come in. They rushed over and got ready to kick out Gao Wenfeng and the others.
Upon seeing his dumb brother evicting the guests, Wang Dacheng couldn’t help sighing. The Hall of Medical Fame would only be a hollow organization without a foundation, so it would be much less credible!
However, it was now too late to hold back. He had no choice but to let this be for the sake of their family’s reputation.
Lin Momo glared at the father and son. Then, she took Qin Haodong’s hand and said, “Since this is the Wangs’ territory, we’d better leave too!”
The family had lost face over and over, so Wang Haiting joined the club and lost control too. He shouted in anger, “Lin Momo, before you leave, don’t forget that you’re a member of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Take one step out of the club and I’ll kick Lin’s Group off the Chamber’s list immediately!”
Lin Momo stopped walking and looked back at him. “Wang Haiting, are you threatening me?”
“What if I am?” Wang Haiting said fearlessly.
“Fine, but you don’t have to do that. I’m officially announcing here that Lin’s Group withdraws from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce from now on. We’ll never go back as long as Wang’s Group is a member!”
Upon seeing Lin Momo’s decisive look, Wang Dacheng sighed again. There had been opportunities to hold the situation back at first, but now his father and brother had blown everything and pushed him into a dead end.
Wang Haiting yelled, “Lin Momo, don’t regret what you’ve said. Without this membership, you’ll lose all the shared resources of the Chamber of Commerce. I hope you won’t beg me to let you back in.”
Lin Momo sneered, “Are you referring to the resources of your Chamber of Commerce? I don’t want them, so I don’t care!”
Qin Haodong was standing and watching. The father and son’s provocation was too shallow to work on him. On the contrary, Lin Momo’s reaction had moved him deeply.
As the president of the group, she did care about the resources of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but she renounced the Chamber without hesitation because of the great place Qin Haodong occupied in her heart.
Lin Momo’s reflective reaction surprised most people on site. Wang Dazhi was the only onlooker that was happy about it. He had lost too many times to Qin Haodong before, so he had now come to take revenge.
“Somebody throw this insolent junk out of the club!”
