The next day!
News articles started appearing one after another.
‘Master Lin remains silent. He is probably tacitly accepting this matter.’
‘Where has the Master Lin of our hearts gone?”
‘I maintain neutrality on this matter. I believe that the truth has yet to come out.’
‘Corruption takes place, causing disappointment and anguish. Master Lin has fallen from grace.’
“Haha, what did I tell you? You all have seen it now, haven’t you? That’s the truth. That Lin doesn’t even know what to say anymore.”
“That’s right, this is corruption. It’s plain corruption. He’s speechless before the reporters. He probably doesn’t even know what to reply.”
“If anyone still wants to try and clear his name, go ahead and try. I want to see what you still have to say.”
The fans of Master Lin were all on Weibo. They really wanted to find out what on earth had happened. They didn’t believe that it was as the reporters had said.
How could the Master Lin that they knew do something like that? It was impossible. Completely impossible.
Then, even more controversial news came out.
Most of the people who had failed to get chosen had stepped out and started complaining on their own Weibo. Every one of them was angry about the unfairness that they faced.
It was as if they were whining to everyone about the suffering that they had to endure.
They were hoping to get sympathy so that others would help them demand justice.
And what they were doing really was effective. When those netizens saw the situation, they were enraged. They felt that it was ridiculous.
This was clearly a case of bullying.
Especially because it had happened during an ordinary interview, it resonated with them. Hence, they started condemning Lin Fan, hoping for an explanation.
This matter instantly caused carnage on the Internet.
Meanwhile, those people that had gotten hired had happily shared the news with their friends and on Weibo, hoping that they would get congratulated.
But now that this had happened, a number of people got called out.
Jiang Hui was one of those people. Her Weibo had had several hundred followers initially, but overnight, it rose to tens of thousands. Of course, these people were all here to flame her.
Her status posts used to only have over ten replies but today, there were over ten thousand comments.
But these comments weren’t congratulatory ones. They were all cursing her.
“Your application was successful because you paid for it, didn’t you?”
“How was the service? Did it feel good?”
“Getting hired wasn’t easy, was it? Your body must be tired.”
“Slut, don’t you know what fairness is?”
“Hehe, you even took a selfie. You don’t even look that good, why did you even get hired?”
“Needless to say, she must have the skills. After all, when the lights go out, her face doesn’t matter anymore. Skills are the most important.”
Jiang Hui had been doing her preparations the past two days. She felt like she wouldn’t be worthy of the job if she did not work hard.
She already knew that she would be teaching six and seven-year-old children. They were still considered infants, so she would need a suitable teaching method.
Hence, she had gathered a lot of information and enriched herself to prepare for the upcoming challenge.
Her work was quite tiring. However, when she wanted to go on Weibo to update her status, she realized that her number of followers had increased tremendously.
And the number of comments on her previous post was over twenty thousand.
She didn’t know what was going on at all. When she clicked on the comments, she was completely dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe it.
All kinds of insults and curses in the comments made her stupefied. Slowly, tears began to well up in her eyes. She didn’t even know where these people were from and why they were doing this.
…
Cloud Street.
Lin Fan looked at Weibo and frowned. He hadn’t expected that the matter wouldn’t subside as a result of his silence, but instead, it strangely kept gaining more attention.
“Brother Lin, it’s bad!” Zhao Zhong Yang cried out in surprise. He had a sullen look on his face. It seemed that he was angry.
“What is it?” asked Lin Fan.
Zhao Zhong Yang immediately handed over his phone. “Brother Lin, look at all this. Those people who failed to get chosen have all stepped out and started complaining about the incident. They’re drawing sympathy from the netizens and even implicating those teachers that we have hired. Now, people are hurling insults at them on their Weibo. This is getting out of control.”
Lin Fan was startled. Then, he started to get angry. “What the heck are they trying to do?”
“I didn’t explain the situation because I didn’t want them to get harmed but now, they’re all coming out one by one and portraying themselves as victims. They’re even causing trouble for others. That’s f*cking disgusting.”
He really couldn’t understand what these people were thinking anymore. Did they really think they were being wronged?
Moreover, they were coming out and trying to tell reporters how pitiful they were.
It was really ridiculous. Without hesitation, Lin Fan stood up.
“Where are you going, Brother Lin?” asked Zhao Zhong Yang.
Lin Fan couldn’t sit still anymore. It was all because he had been too kind to them that they kept on taking it for granted.
“Where else would I go? I’m going to the Welfare Institute to get the video. I didn’t want to hurt them initially but now that things have turned out like this, I won’t waste time arguing with them anymore. They brought this upon themselves,” Lin Fan said resentfully.
Zhao Zhong Yang said, “Brother Lin, I’ll go with you.”
Those people who had failed to get chosen had been upset from the start, especially those who had high qualifications. They didn’t know why they hadn’t been chosen and since it had turned out that way, they wanted to get back at the rest.
And some of them actually quite liked the attention that they were getting, so they all decided to step out.
They just said whatever there was to say. Everyone else was doing the same anyway.
Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute.
Han Lu had been observing the news on the Internet all this while. When the new had been released, he felt that something wasn’t right.
But since Master Lin hadn’t said anything, it wasn’t right for him to say anything.
But now, the way things were developing was getting worse and worse. He felt that if they didn’t let the truth out, many innocent people would get harmed.
“Han Lu…” At that moment, Lin Fan and Zhao Zhong Yang arrived in a hurry.
When Han Lu saw them, he started saying, “Master Lin, this incident…”
Lin Fan waved his hand to interrupt. “No need to say anything. Give me a copy of the video. I was wrong about this matter from the start. I shouldn’t have tried to hide it. Now that things have come to this, I am largely responsible for it.”
“Master Lin, don’t say that. You just didn’t want those people to get criticized. No one would’ve expected them to act so thoughtlessly and even cause harm to others. That’s unforgivable,” said Han Lu.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything else. He immediately started copying the video.
Then, he opened Weibo and uploaded the video. After a moment of pondering, he typed a caption before finally posting it.
