Chapter 222: Defeated So Thoroughly
Li Qiang’s words also received recognition from other classmates in the class.
Although in the last mock exam, Lin Tian ranked first in the grade.
But everyone believed that Lin Tian must have used some means to get first place in the grade.
If he had truly achieved first place with his own skills, would the school have expelled him?
So, after a moment of silence, there was a burst of laughter.
"Give the bullshit back to the bull!"
"Stop bragging, the sky’s about to collapse from your boasting!"
"You scored 740? I’ll just die then!"
Along with the laughter, there were waves of sarcastic discussions.
"So, does this mean I win the bet?" Li Qiang snorted.
In his view, Lin Tian was unwilling to accept the loss, deliberately reporting high scores to cheat.
"Are you stupid?"
Lin Tian crossed his arms in front of his chest: "Over 700 points versus over 500 points, isn’t it clear who lost and who won?"
"If you don’t believe it, I’ll give you my admission ticket, you can check it yourselves!"
Before Li Qiang could speak, another student asked: "What’s the admission ticket number?"
Just then, a dark figure walked into the classroom: "Everyone, quiet down!"
It was the homeroom teacher, Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao held a thick stack of photos in his hand.
"Everyone, how did you perform in the unified exam? Did you get into the university you wanted?"
Mr. Gao greeted the students with a smile while standing at the podium.
Student A said disappointedly: "I didn’t do too well this time!"
Student B said happily: "My score is enough for the first-tier line!"
Student C nonchalantly said: "Ah, I scored over a hundred points!"
"Then which technical school are you planning to attend?" Student B snorted.
"What school? My family has seven houses on the second ring!" Student C snorted.
In an instant, Student A and Student B fell silent.
What’s the purpose of going to college?
If it’s not to get a good job and earn more money?
But the houses on the edge of Kanyue City’s second ring cost over ten million each.
This family has seven...
No need to do anything for a lifetime, no need to worry about food, drink, and entertainment.
Even just the rent is enough to spend.
People, the most terrifying thing is comparison, once you compare, you feel life is filled with darkness.
"Alright, the unified exam is over, I wish you all success in life!"
Mr. Gao interrupted the students’ discussions and distributed the graduation photos.
"Originally, we were missing one person in this graduation photo, as you all know who that person is!"
Mr. Gao lowered his head, picked up a photo: "But, because Lin Tian achieved the top score in our city’s unified exam with a total of 740 points!"
"His future is limitless, so I decided to add Lin Tian to this graduation photo!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian’s face turned black, beads of sweat ran down his temples: "Seriously, this could be added?"
Knowing full well that he wasn’t present when the graduation photo was taken.
"Is Wu Yong here?" Mr. Gao remembered back when Lin Tian was in the class, he was closest with Wu Yong.
"Here!" Wu Yong stood up.
"I’ll give you a photo, remember to deliver it to Lin Tian!" Mr. Gao said, picking up a photo and gesturing for Wu Yong to come over.
"Teacher, Lin Tian is right here!" Wu Yong pointed to Lin Tian beside him.
Mr. Gao followed Wu Yong’s finger and saw Lin Tian sitting there.
Immediately holding the photo, he eagerly walked over to Lin Tian.
Mr. Gao came to Lin Tian with a big smile, pointing at the photo: "Lin Tian, I took the liberty to photoshop you in!"
"After all, you are from my class, when you were expelled, it was the principal’s decision, I, as a homeroom teacher, couldn’t defy the principal’s orders!"
"I didn’t expect you to excel so much and become the top scorer, I’m really regretful now, I should have pleaded with Mr. Fu to let you stay!"
Lin Tian listened to Mr. Gao and smiled slightly.
It’s probably because he was the top scorer that he received such treatment, if he wasn’t, would Mr. Gao even care about him?
Even now, Lin Tian could recall the nasty attitude Mr. Gao had towards him when he was considered a bad student!
"When you succeed in the future, don’t forget me, your homeroom teacher!"
Mr. Gao said rapidly: "They say once a teacher, always a father, I hope you achieve great things!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gao!" Faced with Mr. Gao’s courteous words, Lin Tian nodded and accepted the photo.
There was a blurry figure at the top of the photo.
Even with advanced photoshop techniques today, that figure didn’t match the rest of the people in the photo.
That figure was Lin Tian.
"Heh heh!"
Looking at this photo, Lin Tian laughed, but the meaning was profound.
This is humanity!
This is the human heart!
Truly complex.
Everything is vividly expressed in this photo.
"Bro, this is something, Mr. Gao spent his own money to photoshop you in!"
Wu Yong, standing by, looked at the photo and found it particularly funny: "Luckily you’re the top scorer, if you scored like me, barely 200, he probably wouldn’t have photoshopped you in!"
"This kind of photo is better off without!"
Despite Mr. Gao’s kindness, Lin Tian didn’t cherish this photo.
Looking at Mr. Gao on the podium, Lin Tian shredded the photo into pieces under the table.
What’s the use of a photoshopped photo?
Keep it? For memories?
Years later, telling his son that this is from when his dad became the top scorer and the teacher photoshopped him in?
Ridiculous!
Utterly ridiculous!
Hilarious!
"Everyone, I’ll leave the photos here, take them as you please!" Mr. Gao returned to the podium, left the stack of photos on the table, and left the classroom.
In the entire class, Lin Tian was the only one who received the photo personally from him.
Evidently, Lin Tian’s treatment was different from others.
However, as soon as Mr. Gao left the classroom, the students didn’t rush to the podium to get their photos.
Instead, they kept staring at Li Qiang and Lin Tian.
Because everyone knew about the bet between the two from Li Qiang.
And just now, Mr. Gao personally announced that Lin Tian scored 740 points and was this year’s top scorer.
So... next... Li Qiang seems to have... lost!!!
Li Qiang remained seated, from the moment Mr. Gao announced Lin Tian’s score.
His expression hadn’t changed, stiff almost to the point of being rigid, like a statue.
"How is this possible! How is this possible..." Li Qiang kept repeating in his mind.
The former class’s good student, who considered himself a proud child of heaven, was now utterly defeated.
Failing the unified exam was one thing...
But to lose the bet so thoroughly!
