Chapter 220: One Word—Steady
"It’s like they’re stabbing me with a knife, afraid I won’t die."
Mr. Fu grumbled inwardly but maintained a smile on his face: "Our school, Number Three High, has produced many top scorers in the national exams. Our faculty’s strength is unquestionable, but as for Lin Tian, although his studies are good, his character fails!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the reporters below widened their eyes as if hearing explosive news.
Such explosive news had to be remembered word for word, fearing that they’d miss a single word.
"Mr. Fu, is it appropriate to say such things about a national exam top scorer?" a reporter jokingly said.
"Since I dare to say this, I definitely have evidence! This Lin Tian, fighting and injuring people with a knife at school, such atrocious behavior, as the principal, I must maintain school discipline!"
Mr. Fu lightly tapped the table: "I can’t let him off just because his studies are good or because he’s the top scorer. Every student at Number Three High is my student, and I have to treat them equally!"
"So, after careful consideration, I have decided to expel Lin Tian. It serves as an explanation to all students and parents of Number Three High that no matter how well you study, you must adhere to school discipline!"
Mr. Fu’s high-sounding speech drew applause from many reporters.
"No wonder Number Three High has always been a key high school. Mr. Fu surely knows how to manage the school!"
"Indeed, Mr. Fu shows real courage. No matter how well you study, you must follow school discipline!"
The reporters chatted noisily, and Mr. Fu chuckled contentedly. Lin Tian, well, you aren’t even our school’s top scorer, so tough luck!
Blame-shifting done skillfully.
And adorning one’s face with gold, adorning the school with gold.
Mr. Fu’s trickery in playing everyone was flawless.
The following interviews consisted of trivial chats, after all, the primary purpose of these reporters’ visits had been achieved, and they got such a sensational scoop.
Lin Tian, the national exam top scorer, injured people with a knife and was expelled for violating school discipline.
Lin Tian, the national exam top scorer, was treated equally by Mr. Fu. Good students or bad students, all must adhere to school discipline.
Discipline is the sky, discipline is the ground, discipline is something everyone must follow.
Headlines spun around in the reporters’ minds, and one by one they left Mr. Fu’s office.
Preparing to write this sensational scoop at the earliest.
Of course, some reporters rushed back, while others weren’t in a hurry.
You can’t just listen to one side of the story; otherwise, it has no persuasiveness.
So, some reporters, making inquiries, went to find Lin Tian’s former class, hoping to meet Lin Tian’s classmates and ask about the real situation.
It just so happened that many senior year students returned to school today, firstly to ask about national exam applications, and secondly to take their final group photo before graduation!
Bai Shishi drove Lin Tian to the school gate, braked, and stopped: "Do I need to go in with you?"
"No need, I can get it myself!" Lin Tian opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the dormitory.
"Hey~ Lin Tian!" Just as Lin Tian was walking through the familiar campus, someone suddenly called him from behind.
He turned to see Wu Yong. Lin Tian smiled and said, "Why are you at school too?"
"Hey, I’m here to get the graduation photo, and you?" Wu Yong asked with a puzzled expression.
"I’m going to the dorm to get some things!" Lin Tian pointed to the dormitory building.
"What stuff? The dorm’s already been cleared out. Sophomores have moved in!" Wu Yong patted Lin Tian’s shoulder, amused.
"Uh... is that so!"
Lin Tian scratched his head: "Then forget it, I won’t go!"
Saying so, Lin Tian turned to leave.
"Hey, hey... where are you going? It’s been a long time; why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Wu Yong grabbed Lin Tian’s sleeve.
"Someone’s waiting for me outside!" Lin Tian thought mainly because Bai Shishi was still in the car.
"Has it been so long that our friendship faded?" Wu Yong was quite disappointed when Lin Tian turned away.
It’s been a while, and they didn’t even chat.
"What are you thinking? Someone really is waiting outside. My mind was distracted by that person!" Lin Tian explained, pulling out a cigarette and offering it to Wu Yong to make amends.
"Damn, being so bold now?" Wu Yong habitually looked around. After all, they were on school grounds.
Smoking openly like this, what a bad influence.
Although they used to smoke at school, it was always sneakily, never that openly.
Lin Tian shot Wu Yong a look and said unhappily: "What are you afraid of? I’m not a student here anymore, and you’ve graduated. Why be scared?"
"Exactly! I’ve graduated, nothing to fear!!!" Wu Yong suddenly realized, immediately putting the cigarette in his mouth.
"Hey, hey... you two, put out those cigarettes!" Seeing them standing at the gate, the school security guard shouted at them.
"We’ve graduated!" Wu Yong shouted at the guard.
The security guard glanced at the two of them and said nothing more.
Graduates were beyond him; no point in bothering them!
"By the way, how did you do in the national exams?" Wu Yong asked, taking a drag of his cigarette.
"How about you?" Lin Tian asked back.
"Not too well!" Wu Yong gave an awkward smile: "Got 250 points, went home and got a good scolding from my dad!"
"He said, ’If you scored one more or one less, anything but 250!’"
Wu Yong’s words made Lin Tian squat down laughing, the cigarette in his hand breaking into two pieces.
"Oh my, I can’t, I’m dying of laughter!" Lin Tian finally stopped laughing, but still had a faint smile.
"It’s just scoring 250, your laugh point is too low!" Wu Yong snorted: "Come on, tell me your score!"
All along, Wu Yong and Lin Tian’s scores were about the same.
If you’re last, I’ll be second to last.
If you’re second last, I’ll be last.
The score fluctuations weren’t obvious, very stable!
The class ranking positions were particularly stable.
In short, the word for their scores was stable!
"Over 200? You’re underestimating me!"
"Maybe I overestimated you? Did you score over 100?" Wu Yong raised an eyebrow at Lin Tian.
"I got 740!"
Initially hearing this, Wu Yong’s expression froze.
But immediately his face was full of smiles.
"You’re teasing me, brother!"
"Scoring 740, why not just say you got full marks!"
The initial shock came from Wu Yong not expecting Lin Tian to score that much.
But immediately smiling was because he knew Lin Tian was exaggerating.
"Lost a few points on the essay, otherwise it would’ve been full marks!" Lin Tian shrugged helplessly.
