A Valiant Life

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Several members of the Chinese Medical Academy were gathering in front of the television while drinking wine.

“You see, Elder Zhang is still the best. Personally making a move and immediately settling things.”

“Haha, reform? Reform my a*s.”

“That’s right. He just took to office as the Chairman and then immediately tries to be bold and decisive and starts reforming. Who does he think he is?”

Then, the phone of one of the members rang. It was a notification from Weibo. When he saw that it was from Master Lin’s Weibo, he could not help laughing.

“Guys, wait a moment. Our Chairman Lin has posted on Weibo. Let me take a look and see what has happened.”

Everyone started laughing. “Let’s see What our Chairman Lin will say. Could it be that he’ll say that it was because he was immature and that he realized he was in the wrong?”

However, the smile on the face of the member who was checking his Weibo slowly disappeared and turned into an expression of deep shock.

“What happened? What did he say?”

The member showed his phone to everyone and then swallowed his saliva. “You guys can see for yourselves.”

After everyone’s eyes locked onto the phone’s screen, their expressions completely changed. Some of them could not believe what they were seeing.

“How could he dare to write something like this?”

“This can’t be true. Didn’t Elder Zhang speak to him already? He is really just clinging on to his old ways.”

…

Online, the netizens were watching the program. When they saw the other party say that Master Lin had accepted his suggestion, they were all slightly in disbelief.

“What is this old man saying? Master Lin listens to him?”

“We can’t say for sure. However, the other party is the former Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Medical Academy. So he is probably higher in seniority than Master Lin.”

“Impossible. Master Lin isn’t the type of person who will act in a way to save other people’s face.”

“Ah, it’s hard to say.”

“Bullsh*t, you guys can go take a look at Master Lin’s Weibo for yourselves. You’re still talking about seniority. Master Lin doesn’t care about seniority.”

At this moment, everyone rushed to check Lin Fan’s Weibo. When they saw his latest post, everyone was stunned.

He’s being a tyrant again!

During the program.

The host heard all the sounds from backstage in his earpiece. After that, his expression immediately changed. He had never thought that the situation would turn out like that.

“Elder Zhang, I’m sorry to interrupt you but we just received an update that Master Lin has posted on Weibo, announcing the time and the place of the examination.” The host felt a little bit embarrassed. Master Lin had updated his Weibo right after the introduction.

It can’t be that he has been watching the program all this while and waiting for the right moment, right?

However, he had guess it right. Lin Fan indeed was watching the program.

Zhang Guo Shou waved his hand, obviously showing that he was in disbelief, “What did you say?”

The host said, “Master Lin just made a post on Weibo informing people of the place and time for the examination. Also, he’s telling them they can sign up on the Chinese Medical Academy’s official website tomorrow at 12 noon.”

At that moment, Zhang Guo Shou whipped out his phone and immediately went to check Lin Fan’s Weibo. When he took a look at it, his face immediately turned red and he got up from the sofa.

“How can he do this? He doesn’t listen to instructions at all.” Zhang Guo Shou felt a knot in the pit of his stomach and he got extremely worked up. Also, he was in the middle of the show right now so Lin Fan was not giving him any face at all.

I just said that this rascal listens to me and then he turns around and makes this kind of post. How could he be so quick to attack me?

Relax. Calm down. I can’t lose face here in the middle of a show.

“It hasn’t been easy for the association to develop to this stage. I can’t just let it get destroyed like this. I, Zhang Guo Shou, have been the Vice-Chairman of the association for decades. Although I’ve retired already, today, for the sake of the future of the association, I have to stop these reforms.”

“If he still insists on doing things his way, I, Zhang Guo Shou, I will withdraw from the association altogether,” Zhang Guo Shou very sternly said.

Some of the association members who were watching the show also complied with what Zhang Guo Shou said, immediately posting their comments on Weibo.

Wang Zhong Fei: “If he still doesn’t want to change his ways, I’ll also withdraw from the association.”

Elder Li: “The association can’t just be overturned like this. It hasn’t been easy for us to get this far. If he still insists on these reforms, I’ll withdraw as well.”

In a short span of time, dozens of members from the association started making noise on Weibo.

The large majority of the people in the association were old people who were high in seniority as well.

At the same time, all those people who were together with Zhang Guo Shou in this were definitely going to boycott the event.

Also, some of the other association members, upon seeing so many people come out and object, also started to think about whether or not they wanted to join them as well.

After all, this reform had no benefits for them at all. All the effort that they had tirelessly put into the association could all just vanish into thin air.

As a result, in order to protect their own interests, a protest was necessary.

However, at that moment, all those people who had been prepared to go with the flow stopped what they were doing. They even started to delete the posts that they had been drafting.

This was a because they saw that Master Lin had made another post on Weibo and this post had quite a bit of killing power.

Lin Fan: “I, in the capacity as the Chairman of the association, shall comply with the wishes of the following members who have volunteered to leave the association: Zhang Guo Shou, Wang Zhong Fei, Li Ming, Yang Zhen… the following members have applied to withdraw from the association and I have agreed to their request. From now on, they will no longer hold any position of power within the association and will no longer enjoy any of the benefits that come with it. If they wish to enter the association again, they will have to wait 1 year before applying and will have to take the examination as well.”

Those few people who had been about to follow the crowd saw this post on Weibo and were dumbfounded.

He must be joking. Is this for real?

Zhang Guo Shou is the former Vice-Chairman of the association, how could he just chase him away like that?

Could it be that he has no apprehension at all?

He is the former Vice-Chairman of the association. He has a very high position in the association. Is the Chairman not afraid that this will enrage people?

In the midst of their thoughts, Lin Fan made another post on Weibo.

Lin Fan: “If there is any other member who wishes to leave, please @ me on Weibo. Right now, we are tidying up the association so the slots here are limited. We do require most slots for the people who are really interested in being part of the Chinese Medical Academy.”

His message in this post was very clear. If you want to leave, quickly leave. Don’t waste my time.

The members who were gathered together looked at each other in dismay. “Do you guys…still want to leave?”

One of them, who had been very quick to post just now and had gotten his name called out, was completely dumbfounded, “I… I…”

“I think I’m going to wait a while first.”

“I think Chairman Lin said all of that in a fit of rage. Elder Zhang is in such a high position within the association, I don’t think he’ll really get rid of him.”

“I don’t know. I’m not going to post anything for now. I’m going to see how things turn out.”

“Yes, I won’t post it either.”

…

On-site of the programme.

Zhang Guo Shou sighed in relief after saying his bit. He felt like he had done everything he had to, letting Lin Fan know his stand.

He was the former Vice-Chairman of the association. So if he were to pull out of the association, it would definitely have a huge impact and as a result, his words should definitely have some weight.

Then at that moment, one of the guests who were at the scene suddenly stood up.

“Elder Zhang, Master Lin has made another post on Weibo. He has accepted your request to leave the association. At the same time, he has also accepted the request of dozens of people to leave the association as well. From now on, you’re not a member of the association anymore.”

A few of the guests on the scene, upon hearing this immediately, whipped out their phones. They were all thoroughly shocked after they checked Weibo.

Zhang Guo Shou, who was on stage at that moment, was stunned upon hearing that. It was as if he could not believe what he was hearing.

…

Lin Fan looked at his phone, then looked at the television screen. After that, he turned the television off and got ready to sleep.

“F*ck, you actually tried to threaten me? If you say you want to leave then you can leave. No one is afraid of you. I’ll send all of you guys to your graves.”

“Goodnight.”
