Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Zhao Mingqing said, “Teacher, he’s already called me four times.”
Lin Fan snorted coldly, “It’s too late to regret now.”
Ma.s.ses of netizens started discussing on the Internet.
“Is this for real? Are these people be so despicable?”
“I said this from the start. Our country has some very corrupted people who take advantage of their seniority. Whenever they see something good, they want a share of it and they’re always looking to gain some fame.”
“We already knew that Master Lin was writing new teaching materials but I never thought that this would happen.”
“Hey, aren’t there several senior specialists on there that are from around here? They’ve written quite a number of teaching materials. Do you think that they used this kind of method to sign their names on those too?”
….
“Why haven’t those senior specialists and senior professors said anything? Have they been made a fool by Master Lin? It couldn’t be that they thought that Master Lin would just swallow this humiliation, right? I think they must all be flabbergasted right now.”
…
Lin Fan had been observing the situation on the Internet the whole time. Although things looked peaceful and n.o.body had come out yet, those people must have been thinking of ways to resolve this.
The next day.
In the early morning.
Those senior specialists who hadn’t said anything yet suddenly appeared.
Professor Yang’s Weibo: “It is normal to sign our names on teaching materials. Master Lin’s teaching materials had gone through tens of our professors’ audits and among them, ten professors found some parts that weren’t entirely correct, so they made changes to the teaching materials. Making changes to teaching materials and then signing our names on them is a very normal thing. However, Master Lin doesn’t agree with this. We think that it is a shame that Master Lin has misunderstood us. We are deeply apologetic.”
Professor w.a.n.g’s Weibo: “The contents of the teaching materials are very good. Tens of us professors conducted an audit over several days and found problems within them. Eventually, we made changes to the teaching materials but we never thought that Master Lin would misread this as us robbing him of his hard-earned achievements. This is a misunderstanding. We hope that Master Lin can understand that this is actually a very normal thing.”
Then, gradually, many more professors stepped out and spoke as well. Of course, they were all supporting Professor Yang and the rest.
There were even some with more heated statements, all criticizing Lin Fan.
Professor Zhang: “This is a real shame. Initially, when we saw the contents of these teaching materials, we were stunned by Master Lin. It’s a shame but we never thought that he would care so much about fame and wealth. We senior professors painstakingly conducted the audit but in the end, we have to endure such scoldings. This is heartbreaking. Simply heartbreaking.
The people who had good relations.h.i.+ps with these senior professors stepped out and supported them as well. At the same time, they expressed their detest for Lin Fan’s behavior.
“This Master Lin is really ridiculous. These old professors painstakingly did the audit and even corrected his mistakes for him. This is their hard work as well and it is perfectly normal for them to sign their names.”
“I’m disappointed. I really am. I never thought that this G.o.dly doctor cared so much about personal fame and wealth.”
“Brothers, you’re all f*cking stupid. All these old guys are trying to steal Master Lin’s achievements. And they’re even shameless enough to act pitiful. This is too disgusting.”
“I support the senior professors and I look down on this Master Lin.”
“Can you all really not differentiate between right and wrong?”
…
At that moment, the public opinion on the Internet had split into two groups. Some people supported Lin Fan and some supported those senior professors. They had actually managed to turn the situation around.
In life, everything depends on putting on a show.
Cloud Street.
Wu You Lan had a look of fury. “These people are too despicable. They’re basically speaking blind words.”
Fraud Tian’s brows furrowed, “This isn’t easy to deal with. These are all senior professors and they all have high standings in society. If you mess with them, you’ll mess with all of them and it might be dangerous. Why aren’t you worried at all?”
Lin Fan laughed, “What’s there to worry about? This is just the beginning. I still have to sue them.”
Then, Lin Fan gave a call to w.a.n.g Ming Yang. he didn’t understand the law too much so he decided to get help from w.a.n.g Ming Yang. He couldn’t let off any of those old guys. He didn’t need any compensation from them but he needed their apology.
w.a.n.g Ming Yang erupted when he found out about this incident. These old guys dared to bully his own brother. They were basically looking for a fight. Let’s see who’s afraid of who.
In a certain conference room.
Professor Yang and the rest were laughing. There had been a turn of events.
“Haha, this kid wanted to challenge us. I wonder where he gets his confidence from.”
“He refused to give in when we were nice to him but now it’s gotten even worse for him. For us to sign our names is already giving face to him. He really doesn’t know what’s good for him.”
“In the medical world, having superb medical abilities isn’t important. What’s important is whether you know how to do things.”
“That is true. So what if you have great medical abilities? This kind of situation is not uncommon. Who was that guy who was known as the Divine Surgeon twenty years ago?”
“Chen Bin.”
“Right, right. That Chen Bin really didn’t know what was good for him. And where is he now?”
“I had forgotten about this incident. I think it was Professor Yang that handled him, right?”
Professor Yang laughed, “Handled him? That’s called sending him to the village. I arranged for him to be sent to the village hospital and he never got promoted back here again. He has probably retired by now. It was just a small move to take a little bit of pension.”
“Haha, I remember that. That’s similar to this kid. He didn’t agree with us and had to do things the correct way no matter what. Now, he’ll regret it for life.”
“But those village people really should thank us for sending a good doctor to them.”
“That is true but what use is a bit of thanks?”
They were split into North and South Sectors. Many people cooperated with them but there were also people who were unwilling to follow them. In the end, those that don’t agree with them were always suppressed.
Some talented people write teaching materials but when they reach the hands of the auditors, the teaching materials don’t pa.s.s. If they didn’t want to let the teaching materials pa.s.s, they could come up with a thousand reasons:
In order to maintain a harmonious society, we can’t use this.
This has too much content that is similar to other books, there are too many references, so it cannot be distributed.
They could come up with as many reasons as they liked.
…
The reporters came to Cloud Street. This matter had a large impact. Although only a day had pa.s.sed, as long as the matter involved Master Lin, the reporters had to come.
However, there has been quite a lot of news involving Master Lin lately. Just after getting out of prison, another incident has emerged. What a restless person.
Fraud Tian took a glance. “The reporters are here.”
When Lin Fan saw the reporters, a smile appeared on his face. “I’ve waited very long for you guys.”
The reporters rushed forth.
“Master Lin, can you tell us about how the senior professors signed their names on the teaching materials written by you?”
“Is this the truth? Or did you copy these teaching materials?”
“Master Lin, may I ask…”
The questions came one after another.
Lin Fan waved his hand and took out his phone. “My dear reporters, after you watch this video, you will know the truth. I don’t need to say anything else.”
The reporters looked at his phone, wondering what kind of video it was.
It started to play.
Professor Yang was sitting on the stage. “Master Lin, this is what we’ve decided after deep consideration…”
This scene was when Professor Yang just started talking to Lin Fan. But Lin Fan had clearly told them that he was taking a video. He didn’t expect that they would not mind. He didn’t know if it was because they were big-hearted or something else.
But it was good because he had attained this evidence.
This time, he would definitely be able to sue them.
In the conference room.
Professor Yang, after a moment of silence, said, “Why do I keep feeling as if I’ve forgotten something?”
Everyone was puzzled. “What is it?”
Professor Yang shook his head. He couldn’t figure it out but he felt as if his heart was stifled up.
