Chapter 218: So Low-Key
The assistant’s words were undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
It would have been better if nothing was said, but now Mr. Fu was getting another heavy blow.
Why?
I’d darn well like to know what kind of idiocy made me expel Lin Tian at the time.
At this moment, Mr. Fu’s mind was exploding, so furious he could almost spit blood!
Rubbing salt on the wound, the pain was unbearable.
Mr. Fu pondered for a moment and then said, "Tell the journalists to leave, just say I’m not here!"
The assistant said awkwardly, "Principal, that’s not good, is it? After all, every year you conduct interviews, and the reporters have been waiting a long time. If you don’t see them, there might be some negative news coming out!"
"So what do I say to the reporters? Say Lin Tian was fighting, and then I expelled him?"
Mr. Fu didn’t want to meet with the reporters because he had no idea how to answer the questions about Lin Tian’s expulsion.
Because there’s a shady story behind it, and he orchestrated it.
He’s still upset about this matter, imagining the journalists would bombard him with questions.
Mr. Fu was afraid he’d get so angry he’d have a heart attack.
"No matter what, I think you should meet the reporters, at the very least give an official statement!" The assistant, unaware of the truth behind the scenes, could only address the matter itself.
Mr. Fu finished a cigarette and sighed: "Let the journalists come over then!"
"I’ll notify them right away!" The assistant nodded and turned to leave.
At the same time, Lin Tian and Bai Shishi had just gotten off the plane, and as phones have to be turned off during flights, Lin Tian had just turned his on when someone called him.
Seeing the caller was Liou Qingcheng, Lin Tian pressed the answer button: "Hey, gorgeous!"
"Lin Tian, where are you? Why is your phone off?" Liou Qingcheng’s playful voice rang out.
"I just flew to Kanyue City, I was just on the plane!" Lin Tian explained.
"Wow~ Where did you go to have fun?" Liou Qingcheng teased: "You’re the top scorer in the unified exams, having quite the time. Do you know many people in the entire Kanyue City are looking for you now?"
"Unified exams top scorer? Looking for me?"
Lin Tian looked puzzled, confused: "Miss Liou, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!"
"Have you not checked the exam results?" Liou Qingcheng asked.
"No! I just arrived in Kanyue City, haven’t had the chance to check yet!"
"Wow, you really are carefree!" Liou Qingcheng exclaimed: "Unified exam total score is 750, you scored 740, you’re the top scorer of Kanyue City!"
"Don’t tease me!" Lin Tian chuckled, thinking Liou Qingcheng was deliberately joking with him.
Although Lin Tian knew he did well on the exams, he never imagined he would be the top scorer in the city.
Because his initial goal was just to get into Kanyue City Medical University.
"I’m not joking, I’m telling the truth!"
Liou Qingcheng said seriously: "That uncle from No. 1 High School was so happy, he called me and said he wants to find you, saying you’re the top scorer, and now there are a lot of journalists waiting at the school gate to interview you!"
"Interview?"
Lin Tian’s expression darkened, beads of sweat rolled down his temples.
"Yeah, you’re the top scorer! Of course, reporters want to interview you!"
Liou Qingcheng paused, then continued: "My uncle said... many prestigious universities have already sent people to contact him, wanting to meet you!"
"Meet me for what?" Lin Tian was puzzled again.
"To offer all kinds of conditions to attract you to these prestigious universities!" Liou Qingcheng explained.
"Can you tell your uncle not to let the reporters interview me, and not to meet those prestigious universities’ people?" Lin Tian said in a low voice.
This answer truly surprised Liou Qingcheng, and she asked with misunderstanding: "Why? You don’t want such a good opportunity to become famous?"
"The key is, I’m not interested. You know which school I want to go to!" Lin Tian answered honestly.
"Alright, I’ll tell my uncle, to decline as much as possible!" As Liou Qingcheng spoke, her view of Lin Tian changed.
Didn’t expect him to be so low-key!!!
"Alright, enough about that useless stuff. How did you score this time?" Lin Tian cared about Liou Qingcheng’s results: "Can you get into your ideal dance academy?"
"I scored 700, should be no problem!" Liou Qingcheng replied confidently.
But when she saw the scores, Liou Qingcheng’s first thought wasn’t to apply to the Kanyue City Dance Academy, but rather if her score could get her into Kanyue City Medical University!
At that time, this thought scared Liou Qingcheng, not knowing why, this idea lingered in her mind.
"Then I congratulate you in advance!" Lin Tian smiled: "I hadn’t been in Kanyue City due to some matters over the past few days, but I’m back today. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
"Sure!" Liou Qingcheng agreed without hesitation.
"Then I’ll go get my luggage first, and I’ll call you tonight?" Lin Tian glanced at Bai Shishi, who was staring at him with an inquisitive look, and hung up the phone.
"A woman called!" Bai Shishi’s beautiful eyes were like a detective’s, scrutinizing Lin Tian.
Lin Tian looked at Bai Shishi with an unusual gaze and rolled his eyes: "Do you have to look at me with eyes like that?"
"When you look so nervous, something’s definitely up!" Bai Shishi huffed softly.
"A classmate telling me my exam scores!" Afraid of Bai Shishi misunderstanding, Lin Tian started explaining.
After the explanation, Lin Tian realized he hadn’t done anything wrong, just a phone call.
Was there a need to explain?
"The more you explain, the more suspicious you seem!" Bai Shishi’s red lips curled slightly: "Is it that girl who had a crush on you in school?"
"No way!" Lin Tian said, exasperated: "Miss Bai, can you be normal? Our friendship is really pure!"
"Haha, not teasing you anymore!" Bai Shishi smiled slightly and changed the subject: "How many marks were in the exams? I just heard you mention top scorer? Is your red-haired confidante the top scorer of the unified exams this year?"
"No, it’s not!" Lin Tian shrugged: "She said I was the top scorer!"
"Haha!" Bai Shishi burst out laughing, to the point her stomach hurt, and she bent down holding her stomach as she laughed.
"Is it that funny?" Lin Tian’s face turned dark.
"This is the funniest joke I’ve heard this year. If you’re the top scorer, our bet instantly takes effect. You don’t even have to say the terms; I’d just sleep with you for the night!"
Bai Shishi thought Lin Tian must have been bragging.
Because no matter how you look at Lin Tian, he doesn’t seem like a good student, certainly not associated with being the top scorer.
That’s why Bai Shishi felt so free to speak so openly.
"Miss Bai, are you sure?" Lin Tian asked, looking at her with interest.
"Absolutely sure!"
Lin Tian said helplessly: "Alright then, now whatever I say you won’t believe. Let’s talk results instead!"
"Just hope Miss Bai keeps her word!"
