Chapter 2482 - 2275: Defiant Against All

"Privilege? Mr. Song is about to leave. Originally, I invited Mr. Song to give you all a lesson, but you managed to anger the teacher before the class even started. Think of a way yourselves. You treated good intentions like donkey's liver and lungs. Do you know how long I pleaded with Mr. Song before he agreed to come?" Zhang Guomin spoke more and more angrily.

Zhao Dinghang, Qian Hengbo, Sun Hongmian, and others showed regret on their faces.

Men like the three of them, with their age, seniority, and experience, already stood at the pinnacle of acupuncture medicine's academic research. Further improvement at this height was no easy task.

Today turned out to be a rare opportunity for them to advance their medical accomplishments, yet none of them expected that the person who might bring a qualitative leap to their medical skills and understanding would be a young man, an entrepreneur owning a beverage factory.

Fate played a colossal joke on these acupuncture experts.

Zhao Dinghang was almost at his breaking point from Zhang Guomin's reprimand, but when he heard that Song Xiaodong was associated with Professor He, he hurriedly adjusted his demeanor, putting on a smile toward Zhang Guomin, saying: "Professor Zhang, I'm really sorry. I truly didn't know Mr. Song's connection with Professor He. I was too arrogant and conceited. Do you know where Mr. Song is? We wish to invite him to guide us."

"Indeed, Professor He's Rejuvenation Acupuncture has gained fame recently, but he rarely appears due to his age, and there's been no successor. Today, it's rare for Mr. Song to come. All of us here are responsible. Please, Professor Zhang, take us to meet Mr. Song so we can apologize to him face-to-face." Qian Hengbo said as he saw Zhao Dinghang's change in attitude.

"Yes, Professor Zhang, we didn't expect Mr. Song to be the successor of the Rejuvenation Acupuncture. The needle Mr. Song used on Expert Zhao's arm truly stumps us experts here. Mr. Song indeed has some skills. Expert Zhang, where is Mr. Song now? Please quickly lead us to meet him!" Sun Hongmian also said to Zhang Guomin.

"Hmph, now that he's gone, you've finally realized, want to apologize and ask for guidance—what's the use?" Zhang Guomin couldn't help but reprimand a few more times.

"Just now, as Mr. Song was leaving, I happened to come in. Mr. Song told me he was leaving, and I shamelessly stopped him. Mr. Song said he's waiting for you all to invite him! I really don't know what to say about you folks, Mr. Song was ready to directly teach you all, you could've learned methods and theories of Rejuvenation Acupuncture very well. Why insist on causing this situation, and then humbly beg for favors?" Zhang Guomin felt like he talked so much, his brain was almost short of oxygen.

"Expert Zhang, your criticism is valid, but please calm down first, our seminar must continue. Expert Zhang, lead us to see Mr. Song!" Sun Hongmian was eager to learn from Mr. Song.

"Hmph, let me tell you in advance, be polite to Mr. Song!" Zhang Guomin couldn't resist rolling his eyes at the group of old scholars.

"Of course, of course." A group of elderly men and women nodded in agreement.

"Follow me."

Zhang Guomin walked out without looking back.

Zhao Dinghang, Qian Hengbo, Sun Hongmian, and several other eager-to-learn elderly men and women followed him, arriving at the room where Song Xiaodong was having tea.

Originally, Song Xiaodong was happily chatting with the staff while drinking tea, but upon seeing Zhao Dinghang, his expression turned immediately.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to attend your seminar?" Song Xiaodong sarcastically remarked to the one-armed Zhao Dinghang.

Zhao Dinghang said nothing, stepping forward to deeply bow to Song Xiaodong.

"Mr. Song, I'm sorry!" Zhao Dinghang said to Song Xiaodong.

"Yes, Mr. Song, we were wrong earlier. We've come to apologize to you." Sun Hongmian also approached and said to Song Xiaodong.

"Mr. Song, we didn't know you were the successor of the Rejuvenation Acupuncture. Today we acted rashly with you. Please return to your seat; our acupuncture academic seminar is about to begin, just waiting for you, Mr. Song." Qian Hengbo, who spoke rather well.

"You conduct your acupuncture medicine academic seminar; why ask me to join? I'm just a beverage factory owner." Song Xiaodong turned away, ignoring the three elderly men.

"Mr. Song, please don't be angry. It's our fault. We old men and women have come to apologize, hoping Mr. Song can guide us!" Zhao Dinghang said to Song Xiaodong again.

"Yes, Mr. Song, see Expert Zhao's arm, what should we do? We acupuncture experts are helpless. We admit Mr. Song's medical skill surpasses ours. Please, Mr. Song, generously teach us!" Qian Hengbo said to Song Xiaodong.

Seeing things were nearly settled, Zhang Guomin said to Song Xiaodong: "Mr. Song, they've realized their mistake, ignorance is no crime. After all, they didn't know your identity, so there's no need to pursue it further. Let this be a lesson for them, making them think twice before underestimating others in the future!"

Song Xiaodong, nostrils flaring, still angry, glanced over Zhao Dinghang, Qian Hengbo, Sun Hongmian, and others' faces, impatiently saying: "Go prepare and listen to the lecture!"
