"Heh, quite the tone for someone so young."
"Even though you have a qualification certificate, I reckon you bought it with money, didn’t you?"
"Establishments like yours that are so unprofessional should’ve closed down ages ago."
"And you fraudulently operate under the guise of Chinese medicine? Who gave you the nerve?"
At this moment, that tall beauty stood up and rattled off a whole bunch of things, looking all high and mighty.
"Some people, just because they have a few connections, think they can do whatever they want? I can’t control her beauty salon but in the field of Chinese medicine, we can’t have bad apples."
"People already don’t have much trust in our Chinese medicine, and if some folks further tarnish its reputation, it’ll be even worse."
Hearing this, I was taken aback.
I felt woman was speaking with a hidden agenda, wasn’t she talking about Aunt Wu?
Could there be a feud between these two?
"Leader, although I don’t know what you do yet, I can assure you that in terms of Chinese medicine, I’m definitely professional. Don’t judge me just because I’m young and assume I lack skills."
"Heh." The beauty sneered, rolling her eyes at me, "Little brat, you’re quite the braggart, claiming to be professional? I think you’re professional at deceit."
At this point, I was starting to get angry too.
Kicking things off , it’s clearly picking a fight.
Though, indeed, I did buy my qualification certificate because I was too lazy to take the exam.
But I certainly have real skills.
I won’t allow anyone to question that.
"And, we received a report saying your therapists here take advantage of clients during massages."
The beauty suddenly threw this out there.
I laughed upon hearing this.
In this massage parlor right now, aside from me, all the therapists are female.
Moreover, I haven’t massaged a single customer yet.
Females harassing females?
"I don’t think you understand the situation, do you? All our therapists are women, how do they harass?"
"If a female giving a massage to another female can be considered harassment, then I’ve got nothing to say."
This time, the woman was completely at a loss for words, visibly embarrassed and angry.
I chuckled coldly, now I see clearly, this woman came here intentionally for revenge.
Judging by her age, she probably isn’t an important leader; that man in his forties is likely the one in charge.
So I asked, "Leader, which department are you from?"
"We’re from the Chinese Medicine Therapy Association, I’m the chairman." The middle-aged man said, "Young man, though I won’t look down on you because of your age, I still doubt your professional skills."
"After all, our Chinese medicine is different from others, it requires the accumulation of years to hone one’s medical skills."
"Even though we don’t save lives like other Chinese medicine practitioners, we still can’t be perfunctory."
"Xu Tian, this is Chairman Feng of the Chinese Medicine Therapy Association." At this moment, Wu Lili quickly stepped forward to introduce me.
"Hello, Chairman Feng."
I greeted out of politeness.
"Don’t suck up to our chairman, just close down and rectify. You can reopen when your skills are up to standard." The beauty sneered.
"This is the vice chairman, Ouyang Lirong." Wu Lili’s smile was already tinged with embarrassment.
I glanced at Ouyang Lirong, then fixed my gaze on Chairman Feng and said, "Chairman Feng, since things have come to this, may I have a chance to prove myself? If you find my skills lacking, I’ll close down immediately, no complaints."
"But if someone’s intentionally stirring up trouble, I won’t sit back either."
Chairman Feng furrowed his brows slightly, hesitated for a moment, exchanged a look with several people around him, and after a brief consultation, nodded, "Alright!"
Clearly, he didn’t really believe I had any genuine skills, agreeing casually just to go through the motions to settle the matter.
Meanwhile, Vice Chairman Ouyang merely sneered at me with a face full of triumph.
"What’s going on here?"
