Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Medical Association_1
Ma Mingyang’s heart trembled violently, and he immediately asked Gao Feng, "Director Gao, what... what are you looking for Ye Fei for, he... he’s the Su Family’s son-in-law! He shouldn’t..."
"Shut up!" Gao Feng’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, "What nonsense are you spouting? What ’son-in-law’?"
"Mr. Ye is my benefactor and also the largest shareholder of Yueru Medical Hall. Do you think it’s your place to speak nonsense here?"
Gao Feng bellowed sharply.
The whole room was stunned, falling into silence.
Boom.
For Ma Mingyang, it was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him unable to recover for a long time.
Ye Fei?
Yueru Medical Hall?
The largest shareholder?
How is this possible?
Yet it was the truth, leaving no room for his doubt.
To think he had planned to use his father’s connections to get a share of Yueru Medical Hall.
But he had never imagined that Ye Fei was the very same person that had been in the news!
What could he do now? He had been disrespectful all along, certainly having offended Ye Fei already.
Would they still allow him to get involved with Yueru Medical Hall’s affairs?
Ma Mingyang no longer cared about saving face; he hurriedly raised a glass of wine and directly addressed Ye Fei, "Director Ye, there’s nothing more to say. It was all my fault. I shall penalize myself with this drink!"
Before the eyes of all present, Ma Mingyang—a man who always cared about his image—drank an entire glass in one go.
Ye Fei was taken aback, just watching Ma Mingyang.
Ma Mingyang smiled, though it was a pained one.
He had always been fawned over since he was a kid; when had he ever had to humble himself like this?
Wasn’t it because his father personally told him that Yueru Medical Hall had promising prospects and that he must get a slice of it?
Ye Fei laughed, waving it off, "Young Master Ma, you don’t need to do this. We’re not even close, and there’s no need for you to apologize to me."
Gao Feng asked with confusion, "Mr. Ye, did he disrespect you?"
Ye Fei smiled, "It can hardly be called disrespect, just a bit too talkative."
Once Ye Fei had spoken, Gao Feng’s expression instantly changed.
Ah!
So Ye Fei had been disrespected by the son of one of his subordinates?
How was he, the Chairman, supposed to save face now?
"Ma Mingyang? Your father is one of our company’s old employees. Didn’t he teach you how to behave?"
Ma Mingyang’s legs immediately went weak.
Normally, he acted high and mighty outside, but he wouldn’t dare say one extra word in front of his father’s immediate boss.
"Director Gao..."
"Enough! Say no more!" Gao Feng’s face grew even uglier, "Your father is old, too. He should retire early rather than occupying a position and wasting company resources."
Buzz!
Ma Mingyang’s head buzzed, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Director Gao, you can’t do this. Just because I said a few wrong words, you’re going to fire my dad?"
Gao Feng snorted coldly, "Anyone who insults Mr. Ye, I will be the first not to tolerate it!"
Bang!
Ma Mingyang collapsed onto his seat, instantly losing all composure.
The others were also left speechless, retreating to keep their distance from Ye Fei.
None of them could have imagined Ye Fei’s true status. Remembering how they had mocked and ridiculed him just moments ago, they felt incredibly foolish.
After the situation was dealt with, Ye Fei and Su Yueru wanted to say goodbye to their teacher, and everyone descended the stairs.
Gao Feng then asked Ye Fei, "Mr. Ye, my handling of the situation..."
"It’s your company; however you want to handle it is fine. Why are you asking me?"
Gao Feng laughed heartily and paid the matter no further attention.
It wasn’t long before the group returned to Yueru Medical Hall, where they found that the entrance was now cordoned off by police tape.
There was a large crowd, with the air of a pending closure.
Ye Fei pushed through the crowd, squeezing inside.
The main door of the medical hall was open, with a chair placed in the hall where a middle-aged man sat haughtily.
Ye Fei approached the man with a smile, "Who might you be, sealing off my medical hall like this?"
The man had a teacup beside him and remained silent as he picked up the cup and took a sip.
At that moment, a person behind him stepped forward, "This is the Chairman of our Medical Association, the Vice-Chairman of the Southern Six Provinces Medical Association, Mr. Tie Santong!"
Ye Fei, amused, said, "Sir, you certainly have a lot of titles."
"However, in the years I’ve been in medicine, I’ve heard of the Medical Inspection Division, the Suspended Mirror Service, and the War Department, but never this Medical Association?"
The man snorted coldly, retorting, "You practice medicine and yet you’re unaware of our Medical Association? That’s negligent!"
"We’re here today to seal off your medical hall and forbid you from practicing medicine from now on!"
Ye Fei raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Gao Feng.
But Gao Feng, at that moment, turned his attention away, evidently regarding this so-called Medical Association with considerable wariness.
Was their background that significant?
Ye Fei puzzled, "May I know why my medical hall is being sealed?"
Finally, Tie Santong spoke up, "What kind of doctor are you?"
"A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner."
"TCM?" Tie Santong smiled, "What methods do you use in treating diseases?"
Ye Fei replied truthfully, "Diagnosis through observation, listening and smelling, inquiry, and pulse-taking; treatment with Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, things like that."
Tie Santong’s face immediately stiffened, "That’s exactly the problem!"
"What problem?"
"It’s unscientific!"
Ye Fei’s brow furrowed slightly, "Traditional Chinese Medicine is a cultural essence of our nation, passed down for thousands of years and compiled by countless predecessors. How is it unscientific?"
Tie Santong stood up, smirking, "Those outdated relics from a few thousand years ago, and you still dare to harm people with them?"
"Modern medicine, Western medicine, that’s what’s scientific and reasonable!"
"You people cling to those old relics all day long, causing untold harm, stealing so much money and lives!"
"I personally came here to seal off your medical hall today to prevent the common folk from being deceived any longer!"
