At Cloud Street.
In the shop.
Fraud Tian looked at the two of them with a puzzled look, “What’s up with you guys? Why do you all look so unhappy? Did something happen?”
Zhao Mingqing didn’t reply Fraud Tian. He looked at Lin Fan and said, “Teacher, they’re really too abominable. It’s basically a robbery!”
“What did they rob?” Fraud Tian asked curiously.
Zhao Mingqing said furiously, “What else could it be? Of course, it’s the teaching materials written by Teacher. Those guys are simply scum. They didn’t contribute a thing, and yet without any consent at all, they added their own names to Teacher’s teaching materials. I don’t even know how they can be so shameless. I think they probably do this kind of things very often.”
Fraud Tian instantly erupted as well, “F*ck, they’re so shameless?
Wu You Lan came over by the side, angry as well. Brother Lin had painstakingly written those teaching materials and now they had been snatched away by those people. Were they even human?
Fraud Tian continued, “You can stand this?”
Lin Fan was very displeased. “Stand my a*s. If these old guys weren’t so old, I would’ve sent my fists flying towards them and beat them to death. I would’ve taught them a lesson long ago. Other people might be able to stand this but not me. Moreover, what they did today seemed to be very familiar to them. It seems that they’ve done it many times before.
*Ring ring*
At that moment, Zhao Mingqing’s phone rang.
Zhao Mingqing took a look and an unpleasant expression appeared on his face. “Teacher, someone from the Education Department is calling.”
“Answer it,” said Lin Fan.
Upon answering the call, the leader’s voice came through the phone.
“Director Zhao, you guys shouldn’t be too rash about this. I am having a meeting with them right now. This is their mistake and I will handle it strictly. Please pass this message to Master Lin.”
Zhao Mingqing said angrily, “Don’t you think that they are being ridiculous with this matter? Without getting my teacher’s consent, they just sign their own names and even did a pilot distribution. They are basically treating my teacher like nothing.”
The leader said, “I know. Tell your teacher not to worry. I will definitely get them to give a statement.”
Zhao Mingqing said, “A statement is fine but now, they need to take back all the pilot distributed teaching materials and remove their names from them.”
“This… Director Zhao, this has already happened. If we take back the teaching materials now and remove their names, it would be telling everyone that a problem has occurred. You know too, that these specialists and professors care most about their image. If you ask them to do that, it would be like asking for their lives. Why don’t I get them to apologize to Master Lin and you guys just let it go this time? I can guarantee that something like this will not happen again.” The leader was in a very tough spot.
Why was this Master Lin so hard to handle? If it was someone else, they would’ve been able to talk it through long ago. After all, having only his name on the teaching materials wasn’t even as good as having those senior professors and specialists undertake it as well.
Also, it would bring even more benefits. For example, his status would be raised and he would increase his standing. This was something that everyone was chasing.
He never expected that this guy would be so stubborn.
Zhao Mingqing’s eyes squinted a little. He couldn’t believe it. “Even you approve of this?”
The leader was a little embarrassed. It wasn’t that he approved of it but it had already become a rule.
Lin Fan didn’t want to hear these guys’ bullshit anymore. “Hang up. Tell them to just wait for things to get blown up.”
When the leader heard Lin Fan’s voice, he said, “Master Lin, don’t be rash…”
Zhao Mingqing didn’t say much. He immediately hung up. If his teacher said to hang up, then he would hang up, there was no need to consider.
“Teacher, what should we do now?” asked Zhao Mingqing.
Lin Fan chuckled, “They want to play, right? Then we’ll slowly play with them. I want to see what they can do to me. They dare to snatch my things, do they really think I’m so easy to bully?”
He opened his Weibo.
He was going to announce this matter publicly. He didn’t care what kind of backing they had. They had already pissed him off completely.
“Today, a disgusting thing happened. The three books of teaching materials that I wrote actually got signed by other people without my knowledge. They even did a pilot distribution of the teaching materials. This matter is extremely abominable. They used intimidation and bribery but they couldn’t make me give in. Moreover, the Education Department’s leader, without considering his responsibility, said that this is a very normal situation. He said that as long as I agreed, I would be compensated. I don’t want any sh*tty compensations. Today, I have revealed the truth. Who knows how many talented young people have already been robbed of their achievements…”
Lin Fan fingers rained upon his phone as he typed a long post. At the same time, he told Zhao Mingqing to find out the ten names that were signed on his teaching materials and he added them to his post.
Sent!
After this Weibo post had been sent.
It immediately captured the attention of the netizen.
“D*mn, Master Lin has made a Weibo post. It looks like a shady incident has happened.”
“Chinese medicine teaching materials written by Master Lin were signed in by other people. That’s too f*cking despicable.”,
Professor Yang, Yang Lian Hua. Isn’t this a specialist from the older generation? I’ve read a Chinese medicine book written by him before.”
“D*mn, that’s shameless. They actually dare to do such a thing.”
“Master Lin has exposed a shady incident once again. Moreover, this incident happened to himself.”
Zhao Mingqing asked curiously, “Teacher, is there any use of posting this on Weibo?”
Lin Fan chuckled, “Why wouldn’t there be any use? This is the era of the Internet. This is the fastest method of spreading the news.”
Zhao Zhongyang said, “Brother Lin, I’ll announce it too. We have to blow this matter up.”
In the conference room, the group of people hadn’t left yet. They were still discussing this matter.
But suddenly…
One of the specialists cried out in shock, “Quick, look at Weibo. That kid has gone crazy!”
“What’s going on?”
Everyone else didn’t know what had happened. But when they opened their Weibos, they were all dumbfounded.
“What’s this guy trying to do?”
“He actually put it on the Internet. Does he want us to lose all our standings and reputations?”
“What are we going to do, Professor Yang? Even the leader has been named.”
When the Education Department’s leader saw this news, he was taken aback as well. He roared, “How dare he?”
Professor Yang’s face was pale and green as if he had never expected this to happen. Then, he looked at the leader, “What do we do now?”
The leader hastily called Zhao Mingqing. But with a ‘beep beep’ sound, the call was hung up.
“What is that Zhao Mingqing thinking? He even dares to hang up on me?”
Professor Yang had a grave look on his face as he said, “Don’t panic. He was the only one to speak out about this, will other people believe him just like that? We made changes to his teaching materials, is there anything wrong with us signing our names on them?”
“This is what we’ll do, we’ll immediately speak out and using our influence, we’ll definitely suppress this matter.”
“This kid really doesn’t know what’s good for him. Doesn’t he know how big of an impact this could cause?”
“Hmph!”
At that moment, there was carnage on the Internet. This matter instantly exploded.
The speed at which everything happened had left everyone at a loss.
