Chapter 258 A Salted Fish Turns Over or Remains a Salted Fish
The next day.
Newspapers and television channels were flooded with various reports about Shen Feng.
"Where is the Future of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
This was the headline of an article in the Tianhai Evening News, which detailed Shen Feng's past, including his time before graduating from Medical University, raising various doubts and suggesting that the judging panel of the medical competition was far too frivolous.
Reports like this were endless—after all, how old was Shen Feng? Could a twenty-something young man truly qualify to represent the medical circle of Huaxia Country in an international medical competition?
No media reporters witnessed the medical skills Shen Feng had displayed yesterday, and although there were many eyewitnesses, these individuals praised Shen Feng to the skies. In their words, Shen Feng was practically an immortal—which made it impossible for media reporters to believe them.
There were even so-called experts speculating that the car accident might have been premeditated, a staged event to promote Shen Feng as a "miracle doctor." Put simply, it was all a publicity stunt.
Traditional Chinese medicine had been in decline for many years and needed a true leader; many experts labeled yesterday's car accident as a hype.
A lot of people believed this notion, losing more and more confidence in the medical circle of Huaxia Country.

Of course, there were newspapers and television stations looking to grab attention; they went against the grain. While everyone else criticized Shen Feng, they went out of their way to speak highly of him to attract viewers.
As a result, the true extent of Shen Feng's medical skills became even more murky.
Naturally, the other two candidates joining Shen Feng in the international medical competition were also announced: Song Tianhao and Wan Enrong.
This was a decision made collectively by Qiu Baixing and others.
If there were no Shen Feng, Song Tianhao would have definitely been a hot favorite, given his young age. Yet, Shen Feng had overshadowed him, with only a small portion of media covering Song's story.
Shen Feng didn't care about the media reports; today, the Blood Spirit Mushroom and Void Spirit Jade would be delivered.
He had gotten up early in the morning to walk around outside the villa compound, enjoying the fresh morning air. As the days passed, the weather was gradually getting colder.
As Shen Feng walked back to the villa complex,
a black, extended Rolls-Royce parked not far from the gate of the villa area.
Qin Xuewei and Yan Jinghui stepped out from the backseat. With such frequent media coverage, it was impossible for them to remain unaware of Shen Feng's affairs.
Qin Xuewei was not like those media reporters. Though there were no videos of Shen Feng treating the injured, after thorough investigation from various angles, she concluded that Shen Feng's medical skills were very likely exceptional.
Even if Qiu Baixing and others wanted to hype traditional Chinese medicine, why would they choose to promote Shen Feng?
Shen Feng was, after all, a "product" with no background, no money, and no power.
Therefore, there was a good chance that he won his first place in the competition through his own abilities.
The number one in medical skills throughout Huaxia Country?
Initially, when Qin Xuewei inferred this conclusion, she couldn't accept it at all. In her eyes, Shen Feng was at most an insignificant worm from a filthy gutter.
Yet now, Shen Feng had shown such a different side.
If he truly was the number one in medical skills of Huaxia Country, then Shen Feng would undoubtedly have a great future ahead. Such a figure should become a cherished guest of large families.
In the past, Qin Xuewei would have been furious, but now that she knew about the Martial Arts World, she understood the wonders of the Martial Arts World.
So what if he's the best in Huaxia Country's Medical Circle? That doesn't take the Martial Arts World into account. She firmly believes that Shen Feng is still vulnerable in front of the Sects and families of the Martial Arts World.
The Qin Family will soon establish ties with the Sects of the Martial Arts World, and she absolutely will not allow Shen Feng to act all high and mighty in her presence.
However, now that Shen Feng possesses such medical skill, if he could obediently serve the Qin Family, then she might consider not humiliating him at the engagement party. Everything must prioritize the bigger picture; Shen Feng now has value to be exploited by her.
She was there to give Shen Feng one last chance today, and for her, finding Shen Feng's whereabouts in Tianhai was a piece of cake.
When Qin Xuewei and Yan Jinghui approached Shen Feng, Qin Xuewei asked, "Do you have a minute to talk?"
She tried her best not to let her disgust show in her tone of voice. Seeing Shen Feng not saying a word, she continued, "I'm here today to invite you to my and Jinghui's engagement party, which has been moved up."
This time, after discussion between the Qin and Yan Families, it was decided not to bring forward the birthday celebration but just to hold an engagement ceremony for Qin Xuewei and Yan Jinghui.
She tried to see an expression of heartache and unwillingness on Shen Feng's face, but unfortunately, everything was in vain.
Shen Feng had also grown tired of Qin Xuewei and Yan Jinghui. After hearing what they had said, he finally felt a surge of relief in his heart. Whether it was a birthday celebration or an engagement party, it was time to deal with the matters of the Qin Family.@@novelbin@@
In light of this, Shen Feng said, "We can talk."
Qin Xuewei was very irritated by Shen Feng's lukewarm attitude, but she didn't lose her temper and said, "Let's talk in the car."
Shen Feng followed Qin Xuewei into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.
Yan Jinghui also got in shortly after.
Once in the car, Qin Xuewei stated, "Shen Feng, I don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. I want you to work for our Qin Family from now on. I guarantee you a lifetime of carefree living and all that you desire."
Seeing Shen Feng looking at her meaningfully, she completely misunderstood and impatiently said, "As for anything between us, it's absolutely impossible in this lifetime. You must understand that! There are too many things in this world that you don't know about. Don't think that just because your medical skills are decent, you could ever stand on the same level as me."
"Think well about my proposal and give me an answer within a day."
Is this woman out of her mind? So full of herself to this extent? Does she think she's a Fairy Lady?
Shen Feng replied indifferently, "Not interested."
He immediately opened the car door and started to step out.
At this moment, Qin Xuewei's brows furrowed tightly, and she exclaimed, "Shen Feng, do you think you've turned over a new leaf? But you should know that even if a salted fish turns over, it's still a salted fish. You could never become a dragon."
"This is the invitation to my engagement party. Remember, I can give you more time to consider, as long as you give me an answer before the engagement party. This is my final offer."
After receiving the invitation, Shen Feng glanced briefly at the date of the engagement party, which was not far off. After getting out of the car, he said, "Don't worry, I'll be there on time, and perhaps I'll bring you a big surprise."
Without looking back, he walked straight toward the entrance of the villa complex.
Sitting in the car, Qin Xuewei watched Shen Feng's departing figure, her palm clenched tightly into a fist in anger. In her view, she had already lowered herself sufficiently, and yet that vile worm Shen Feng still dared to put on airs in front of her?
Yan Jinghui had remained silent until now. After looking at Qin Xuewei, he said, "Xuewei, it seems this toad thinks it's reached the Peak. He's very likely not going to be used by us."
Qin Xuewei scoffed, "If that's the case, then everything will proceed as originally planned. No matter how powerful his medical skills, I still have a way to humiliate him to the point of actually committing suicide on the day of our engagement party."
"If he chooses to die, then we can't be blamed."
What do you think?
