When Chen Ou said this, he deliberately put on a stern, lecturing demeanor, as if he held immense authority.
However, Wu Tian was not about to fall for that.
He chuckled and said, "What's the matter? Are you saying you're not going to honor the deal? Is this what a Level Five Appraiser is like? How ridiculous!"
Chen欧, although he knew it was indeed his own fault, couldn't help but feel provoked by Wu Tian's taunts. He said sternly, "Kid, I advise you to speak to me more respectfully!"
"You've provoked me again and again. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"
Instead of confronting Chen Ou directly, Wu Tian suddenly turned to the assembled crowd, feigning a wronged expression. "Everyone, please take a look! I never expected Mr. Chen to be this kind of person!"
"You all heard what we said earlier, but now Mr. Chen is going back on his word."
"This isn't just a matter of credibility; it also means Mr. Chen doesn't respect any of you!"
Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, everyone thought to themselves that he was right.
They had all been present, which meant they were all witnesses.
If Chen Ou went back on his word in front of them, wouldn't that be a sign of disrespect?
Yang Huilan, being quite astute, naturally understood Wu Tian's intentions.
She immediately took the lead, shouting, "Everyone! Chen Ou is truly detestable; he's utterly arrogant and dismissive!"
"We are all people of our word, aren't we? If that's the case, shouldn't we boycott someone like Chen Ou?"
"If he refuses to honor the agreement today, then all of us should drive him out of the Appraisers Association. What do you think?!"
As a prominent businesswoman, Yang Huilan's words carried considerable weight.
Coupled with the fact that everyone was already quite displeased with Chen Ou's actions, their emotions were intensely stirred.
They all raised their arms and shouted in unison, "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Faced with this overwhelming tide of rejection, Chen Ou's legs began to tremble, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
He knew very well that with everyone so displeased with him, there was no way he could escape this.
If he were to stubbornly break his promise, he would be met with universal scorn!
The President also felt immense pressure.
He quickly approached Chen Ou and whispered, "Chen Ou, you should just do as you said!"
"You can see how everyone is reacting. If you refuse to admit it, not only will you be affected, but our Appraisers Association will also suffer significant repercussions!"
Under immense pressure, Chen Ou finally broke.
At this moment, no matter how much he resisted internally, he could only kneel before Wu Tian.
With great difficulty, he shuffled his feet and then, with a thud, knelt before Wu Tian.
As if squeezing toothpaste, he managed to utter, "I... I am not as good as you!"
Wu Tian had been waiting for this moment. He smiled and said, "That's right, you are indeed not as good as me. You'll never be able to compare to me in this lifetime!"
This statement was like a fatal blow. Chen Ou's body trembled violently, and then, overwhelmed by anger, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
The spectators, however, paid no mind to this.
They all felt they had won and began to cheer enthusiastically, celebrating their victory.
Wu Tian felt he had no further business there and decided to leave the stage.
But at this moment, the President approached him again and said, "Young man, please wait a moment. I have something to say to you."
Wu Tian stopped and asked the President, "President, do you have anything else for me?"
The President looked at Wu Tian with immense admiration in his eyes.
He said, "Young man, you are truly a one-in-a-million appraisal genius. I deeply admire you!"
"How about this, why don't you join our Appraisers Association?"
"Join the Appraisers Association?" Wu Tian was taken aback. "Why would I join the Appraisers Association? I haven't taken any appraiser certification exams."
The President shook his head and said, "No, no, no. With your abilities, what need do you have for certificates?"
"As soon as you join, I will immediately give you the position of Vice President, and when I retire, I will pass on the position of President to you. What do you think?"
Wu Tian immediately guessed the President's intentions. The President was clearly valuing his skills and wanted to tie him to the Appraisers Association, essentially making him a figurehead.
However, Wu Tian had no interest in such an association and directly refused, "President, thank you for your kind offer."
"Let's just forget it. I won't be joining you."
The President was stunned and then hastily said, "Don't refuse so quickly. Tell me what conditions you want, and I assure you, I will do my best to meet them!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "President, it's not a matter of conditions. It's just that I have no such intention, so let's just forget it. I apologize."
With that, Wu Tian walked off the stage.
Wu Tian's performance this time was truly astonishing!
Instantly, the spectators below crowded around Wu Tian, eager to get acquainted with him.
Wu Tian naturally had no desire to deal with these fair-weather friends, so he quickly left with Yang Huilan.
Once they were in the car, Wu Tian finally let out a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said, "Ah, I've finally escaped them."
"Why are they so fanatical? It's like they're chasing a celebrity. I was really worried they'd strip me bare!"
Yang Huilan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Aren't they admiring you? You truly shone today. I bet many people are wondering who you are!"
Wu Tian's mouth twitched. "Who am I? I'm just a humble village doctor from Taohua Village. What's so curious about that?"
Yang Huilan smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore."
"Wu Tian, you are truly amazing! I already had a high opinion of you before, but I never expected to have underestimated your abilities."
"With your performance today, I'm sure you could pass the Level Nine Appraiser exam without any problems."
"What kind of growth experience have you had that you ended up becoming a village doctor?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "That, well, that's a secret. I can't tell you."
Yang Huilan didn't get angry. Instead, she gave a sly smile and then, leaning close to Wu Tian's ear, gently blew a puff of fragrant air.
In a soft, alluring voice, she said, "A secret? I love men with secrets the most. So, tonight, let me have a good look at just how many secrets you're hiding!"
Hearing Yang Huilan's words, Wu Tian trembled instantly.
