Chapter 160: Could it be that my fighting talent is top-notch, so can't my life talent also be top-notch?
Gao Jin ignored everyone's surprise. A few minutes later, he led Cheng Qianmo up to the second floor.
In the deepest part of the corridor on the second floor, there is a magnificent hall, which is the high-level meeting room of the Thunder City Life and Professional Association.
There are seven or eight people in the conference room at the moment. Even the lowest positions among them are members, and there are even two senior figures present.
These people are the best in various sub-professions in Thunder City, and their status is obviously not low.
When Gao Jin first came in, everyone immediately stopped talking and said in unison: "Hello, President Gao!"
Gao Jin smiled and nodded, indicating that they didn't need to be too restrained.
As a master who is proficient in three professions at the same time, Gao Jin is undoubtedly the highest-status life-related professional in Thunder City.
So as soon as he came in, he received the highest courtesy.
But when everyone saw Cheng Qianmo behind him, they all showed puzzled expressions.
"Who is this kid?"
"Why would the president bring him to a place like this?"
"Can't they be his relatives?"
Gao Jin heard everyone's whispers clearly.
When he walked to the center of the hall, he waved his hand to signal everyone to stop talking because he had something to say.
"Everyone, today I have some exciting news to announce."
"The kid next to me is named Cheng Qianmo."
"Starting from today, he will join our Life Professional Association!"
"Everyone applauds and welcomes!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Are you kidding me? Cheng Qianmo is not yet 20 years old, why should he join?
And even if he joins, he shouldn't be allowed to come to a place like this.
Although everyone was confused and felt a little uncomfortable, due to Gao Jin's face, they could only applaud at this moment.
It's just that the applause was sparse and not neat at all.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he's welcoming Cheng Qianmo.
However, there is one exception, and that is Wei Rongze!
As the owner of the herbal medicine shop in Thunder City, Wei Rongze's own level of herbal medicine is naturally not low.
Therefore, he is also one of the few members of the Life Professions Association.
He had seen Cheng Qianmo's ability, and he also knew how much Gao Jin valued him.
So he was the only one who applauded very warmly, and he also sincerely wished Cheng Qianmo.
But that's it, his enthusiasm seems a little out of place compared to the indifference of others.
The atmosphere in the conference hall instantly became awkward.
Wei Rongze even stopped patting.
This feeling of "standing out from the crowd" made him feel a little social.
Cheng Qianmo has been observing these people since he walked into the conference room.
He naturally sees everyone's indifference towards him.
"It seems that these people are not much better than the Blacksmiths Association."
Cheng Qianmo quickly made a judgment. The senior officials present were all more arrogant than the other and did not take him seriously at all.
When Gao Jin saw this scene, he touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.
Just now he only said that the people in the Blacksmiths Association think very highly of themselves, and forgot to mention that his own side was pretty much the same.
"Belittling the enemy and promoting oneself" is a normal operation. He himself looks down on those old stubborns, so he will naturally say it to death, but he must be more tactful on his own side.
After all, these people present are masters in various fields.
Their status outside is very high, even if they are super powerful awakened ones, they must be polite to them.
With such a social status, your natural personality will change over time, which is difficult to avoid.
"Classmate Cheng is the number one scholar in Northern Hubei Province this year, and his talent assessment in the college entrance examination has reached the SSS level. He is extremely strong."
"Having him join us is a great event for our association."
Gao Jin certainly knew that recruiting people like Cheng Qianmo into the association would lead to many different voices within the association.
But he also made a plan in advance, which was to build momentum for him step by step.
Let’s release his amazing achievements in the outside world now, and we will release “Wang Zha” later.
As expected, when this result was announced, many people's expressions lightened up a little.
After all, they are all respectable people. It would be very embarrassing if word got out about working with a young boy.
Fortunately, Cheng Qianmo's current achievements are quite good, even awesome, so they feel much better.
Gao Jin saw everyone's reaction and nodded slightly. This was the result he wanted.
So he continued: "There is one more thing I haven't told you."
When everyone heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, as if they had a bad premonition.
After all, Gao Jin brought Cheng Qianmo to the conference room. If he just joined the association, there would be no need to mobilize so much.
Is he going to be absorbed into the top management?
Many people had this thought, and their faces darkened again.
Gao Jin ignored everyone and continued: "I announce that from today on, Cheng Qianmo will become the elder of our association!"
What?
Make him a veteran?
Gao Jin's words instantly detonated the entire conference room.
Are you kidding me? How old is he to be a senator?
Among the seven or eight people present, there were only two elders.
Doesn't that mean that he just joined today and will become the boss of many people?
How can this be?
The crowd reacted violently and spoke out in protest.
Even Rong Weize, who knew some of the inside story, expressed disbelief at this time.
At first, he thought that giving Cheng Qianmo a position as a council member was the limit.
Who knew that Gao Jin would be so courageous that he became a senator directly.
If this thing comes true, I will call my boss when I see Cheng Qianmo in the future.
Even he couldn't accept such a change in identity.
The one who had the strongest reaction at this moment was one of the two elders. His name was Qin Yongchang.
Qin Yongchang is 51 years old. He is a senior herbalist and has a very high status in Thunder City.
He would never allow children under the age of 20 to be in the same class as himself.
This is an insult to him!
"President Gao, this is inappropriate."
"No matter how talented this kid is, it's only in the field of combat."
"Although we life professionals are not as good as the equivalent awakened ones, when we evaluate status internally, we don't need to consider combat talent, right?"
"Even if he has SSS-level combat talent, does it have anything to do with his life and career?"
"You can't act arbitrarily just because you are the president!"
Qin Yongchang's last words were said in such a serious tone that he almost impeached Gao Jin in person.
Gao Jin felt a little embarrassed, and his face became gloomy.
Although Qin Yongchang is very powerful in herbal medicine, he has a big temper and ambition.
He had coveted the position of president before. If Gao Jin had not made achievements in three fields at the same time, he might not be able to suppress him.
Although Qin Yongchang failed in the competition for president, he never gave up.
Today he finally found a breakthrough.
That's why he just labeled Gao Jin as "arbitrary".
It has never happened before for a student under 20 years old to become a senior figure in the association.
This is also disrespectful to other members.
Qin Yongchang is ready to seize this opportunity and dismiss Gao Jin from get out of class!
However, at this moment, Cheng Qianmo suddenly laughed.
He looked at Qin Yongchang with a half-smile and said, "Can't my fighting talent be top-notch, and my life talent also be top-notch?"
As soon as these extremely arrogant words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
