"President, you've watched Xue'er grow up. She's so kind and understanding. How could she be an unreasonable girl?" Elder Lin frowned and said. "As the president, is it really appropriate for you to slander a girl like this?"
Song Jianming sneered. "Elder Lin, you know very well in your heart whether your daughter is kind and understanding or not."
"President..." Elder Lin was full of anger. "If you're saying something bad about my Xue'er, please show me the evidence."
"You also know the importance of evidence?" Song Jianming said calmly. "Then why didn't your daughter show any evidence when she went to ask others for medicinal herbs?"
Elder Lin: "..."
He didn't expect Song Jianming to be waiting for him here and deliberately say something to slander Xue'er.
What Elder Lin didn't know was that Song Jianming really didn't deliberately slander Lin Sixue.
He was very clear about how hypocritical Lin Sixue was.
She always acted in a hypocritical and affected way.
However, as the president of the Alchemist Union, he couldn't really argue with a little girl.
"President, are you planning to unconditionally side with Feng Yuqin?" Elder Zhao suddenly asked.
Song Jianming picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and then slowly said, "To be precise, I side with the just side. After all, as the president, I have to be fair."
"Fair?" Elder Zhao laughed. Since they had already torn off the mask, he spoke without any scruples. "Don't you think this is a ridiculous statement, President? Feng Yuqin cheated in the alchemy competition, yet you let her team up with us to participate in the competition organized by the general union. May I ask if this is the so - called fairness you mentioned?"
"The reason I said to let Feng Yuqin participate in the competition with you is that the quality of the pills she refined is ten - fold." Song Jianming said coldly. "It's you who didn't believe it and now blame us?"
The pills Feng Yuqin sold outside were very popular.
But these old guys were so self - important that they thought no one else's pills were as good as theirs, so they never paid attention to the pills sold outside.
As time went by, no one would be stupid enough to take others' pills in front of them to make a fool of themselves.
So they still didn't know how popular Feng Yuqin's pills were outside.
Some people even started to bid for her pills.
Thinking of this, Song Jianming was very disappointed in them.
With such people in the union, no matter how hard he tried to manage the union well, it would be very difficult.
"President, how old is Feng Yuqin? How could she possibly refine pills of such high quality? Even the most talented alchemists in the general union can't refine pills of ten - fold quality." Elder Lin said.
Elder Zhao also said, "President, Feng Yuqin can't possibly refine such powerful pills. And now she has done such a cruel thing. A person like her is not worthy of teaming up with us to participate in the competition in the general union."
Elder Chen said, "Even if she can refine pills, we won't allow such a cruel person to team up with us to participate in the competition."
At this time, Elder Lin stood up as a peacemaker and said, "Actually, it's not impossible for her to team up. As long as she agrees to apologize in public and promises to be fully responsible for the medical expenses of Tian Wei and the others. Otherwise, she not only can't join the team but also has to leave the union."
Elder Lin thought that since Feng Yuqin had found Song Jianming as her backer, she definitely wouldn't apologize. Then she would have to leave the union. This was his real purpose.
Listening to these words, Song Jianming was extremely disappointed. "Fine, Feng Yuqin won't team up with you."
"What?" The three elders thought they had misheard.
Song Jianming gave them a cold look and said, "I said Feng Yuqin won't team up with you to participate in the competition. But she was recruited by me, and she won't leave the union either. After all, in today's incident, it's not an exaggeration for me to say that it was Lin Sixue who led everyone to make unreasonable troubles."
At this moment, Song Jianming was completely disheartened with these elders.
For their own self - interests, they completely ignored the survival of the union. What hope could there be for such people?
The elders finally heard clearly and realized that Song Jianming was going to protect Feng Yuqin.
Especially Elder Chen and Elder Zhao. Thinking of their seriously injured apprentices and Song Jianming's protection of Feng Yuqin, they couldn't calm down and think rationally.
"President, are you going to ignore the feelings of us, the elders of the union, for the sake of Feng Yuqin?" Elder Chen was now in an aggressive posture.
"Have you ever considered my feelings?" Song Jianming said coldly. "Ask yourselves, have you ever really respected me as the president from the bottom of your hearts?"
Elder Chen's face stiffened when he was retorted like this. Then he argued unreasonably, "How could we not respect you? We respect you very much in our hearts. Otherwise, when Feng Yuqin injured my apprentice this time, we would have directly gone to cause trouble for Feng Yuqin."
Song Jianming spread his hands. "Then you can directly go to cause trouble for Feng Yuqin."
He didn't think Feng Yuqin would act without a backup plan when she did such a thing today.
After all, as the fiancée chosen by Mo Xuanye, she couldn't be unable to handle these old guys.
Song Jianming's words stunned them again.
They found that Song Jianming today was very different from usual.
He protected Feng Yuqin but didn't seem to want to interfere. What exactly did he mean?
"President, we are the elders of the union, while Feng Yuqin is just a guest elder. Is it really worth it for you to abandon us, the elders of the union, for a guest elder?" Elder Zhao's tone was also very bad, almost like a questioning tone.
"I'm just standing on the just side. How come it becomes that I'm going to abandon you in your opinion?" Song Jianming said calmly.
"Your current attitude completely ignores our feelings." Elder Chen shouted. "Feng Yuqin had our apprentices injured, but you not only don't side with us to expel Feng Yuqin but also speak for her. Do you not put us in your eyes because you think you don't need us to participate in the competition in the general union anymore?"
Song Jianming's eyes turned cold, and a dangerous aura emanated from his whole body. Looking at Elder Chen, he asked coldly, "Elder Chen, are you threatening me, the president?"
"If the president wants to understand it this way, it's okay." Elder Chen looked as if he had Song Jianming under his thumb.
After all, the only alchemists who could take on important tasks in the union now were these elders.
The elders from the Martial Arts Association didn't know how to refine pills at all.
Moreover, they had received the news that if the union couldn't pass the competition this time, the union would almost be finished.
So after these elders got this news, they had been extremely arrogant recently.
And even if the union really disappeared, they weren't afraid of having no way out.
After all, they were alchemists, and they would be popular wherever they went.
