Chapter 233: Just Do It
"Mr. Xu, I’ve made up my mind!"
Lin Tian said firmly, "No matter what, I’m going to Kanyue City Medical University!"
Seeing Lin Tian’s resolute refusal, the five prestigious university representatives all sighed deeply.
Initially, when the five of them came, they thought, even if they couldn’t convince Lin Tian, he would surely choose one among the five prestigious universities.
But the reality was that none of them got Lin Tian.
"Since you’ve already made your choice, we respect your decision!" the representative from Xuanyi University said in a deep voice.
With that, the five prestigious university representatives left one after another.
"Mr. Xu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now!" Lin Tian turned and glanced at Mr. Xu.
"Go on! It’s always good for young people to have their own ideas. No matter where you go, study hard and contribute more to society!" Mr. Xu patted Lin Tian’s shoulder and advised.
"I understand!"
After leaving Mr. Xu’s office, Lin Tian saw Liou Qingcheng waiting downstairs for a long time.
"How was the press conference?" Liou Qingcheng immediately asked out of curiosity.
"Just like that!"
"What do you mean by ’like that’?"
"You’ll know when you see the news tomorrow!" While speaking, Lin Tian couldn’t help but flash a fleeting mischievous smile.
Ring ring ring.
At that moment, Lin Tian’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller’s name was Bai Shishi, he answered the call: "Miss Bai, why so early?"
"Lin Tian, where are you?" Bai Shishi’s voice was filled with exhaustion and helplessness.
"At Kanyue City First Middle School, Miss Bai, is something wrong? You sound really worn out?" Lin Tian asked anxiously.
Recently, Bai Shishi hadn’t encountered any danger. Yesterday she mentioned auditing in the company, and when he asked if she needed help, she said it was fine.
How come just one night later, she’s like this?
"Come to the tea house, I have something to discuss with you!" Bai Shishi sighed deeply.
Sitting in her office, Bai Shishi pondered for an hour, thinking of whether to protect Lin Tian, compromise herself, or take action against Xiaogang.
She thought it over but couldn’t come up with a good solution.
If Lin Tian knew she compromised herself to accept Xiaogang’s shameless conditions, he surely wouldn’t forgive her.
Bai Shishi was afraid of losing Lin Tian, genuinely terrified.
So, she didn’t dare to agree to Xiaogang’s shameless demands.
But if she didn’t agree to Xiaogang’s shameless demands and Xiaogang really did reveal Lin Tian’s identity as a model student to Du Dahai.
With Du Dahai’s vengeful nature, being played like a monkey by Lin Tian, he definitely wouldn’t let Lin Tian go.
If Lin Tian’s life was at risk, Bai Shishi would still face losing him.
In her dilemma, Bai Shishi truly didn’t know what to do. Adding to the fact that she hadn’t slept all night, she was already physically and mentally exhausted.
She could only seek Lin Tian’s help to ask his opinion.
"Alright, wait for me, I’m on my way!" Knowing that Bai Shishi had something urgent, Lin Tian immediately hung up and said to Liou Qingcheng: "Miss Liou, I have something urgent to attend to!"
Liou Qingcheng, a very smart woman, could tell just by Lin Tian’s tone and expression during the call.
She quickly said, "If it’s urgent, go handle it first. I’ll just take a taxi home myself!"
"Hmm!" Lin Tian nodded and quickly headed for the school gate.
"Hey... wait...!" Liou Qingcheng hurriedly called after him.
Lin Tian turned his head: "Anything else?"
"In the future... in the future, come to our house for meals more often when you’re free!" Liou Qingcheng instructed.
Pretending to be a boyfriend, she decided to carry that out quietly.
"Sure!"
Lin Tian gave an OK gesture and left quickly.
Watching Lin Tian’s departing figure, Liou Qingcheng felt particularly uncomfortable inside: "I really don’t know if what I’m doing is right or wrong!"
Actually, what Liou Qingcheng didn’t realize was that pretending could lead to a situation where the act becomes real...
Of course, Liou Qingcheng hadn’t considered this at all.
Taking a taxi, Lin Tian arrived at Xianglong Tea House and reached Bai Shishi’s office door in just half an hour.
Opening the door, Lin Tian saw a haggard Bai Shishi sitting at the desk, playing with a pen in her hand, and asked softly: "Miss Bai, what happened?"
"Lin Tian, I’m so tired!" Seeing Lin Tian, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Bai Shishi’s troubled face.
But this smile was fleeting, and she tightened her expression again.
"Miss Bai, if you keep like this, you won’t be beautiful anymore!" Lin Tian smiled and sat down in front of Bai Shishi, trying to cheer her up a bit.
"I’m not in the mood to be beautiful now, something big happened!"
Bai Shishi took a deep breath, calming her displeased mood: "Do you remember I told you that I asked Xiaogang to investigate you and even told him about your exemplary student identity?"
With this reminder, Lin Tian nodded: "I remember, isn’t that matter already over? Is that why Miss Bai is worried?"
"Of course, it’s not about that!"
Bai Shishi grew more furious as she spoke: "Xiaogang betrayed us!"
"Betrayed?!" Lin Tian’s eyes were about to pop out: "How did he betray us?"
"Xiaogang probably doesn’t like how close I’ve gotten to you, so he decided to start his own, took over several entertainment venues as his own, rallied some subordinates to strike out on his own, and even threatened me, saying the business empire was built by him and he should have these!"
"Outrageous!" Lin Tian slammed his hand on the table, standing up angrily from the chair.
"And... I haven’t finished... Xiaogang doesn’t want to let you go, he wants to reveal the true identity of the exemplary student to the smiling tiger Du Dahai, and when I told him not to say it, guess what he said?"
"What did he say?" Lin Tian was furious.
Betrayal, Lin Tian hated betrayal the most.
Since Li Li taught him a vivid lesson about betrayal, Lin Tian now loathed the word betrayal to the core.
"He said if I spent a night with him, he wouldn’t tell Du Dahai!"
"So, now I don’t know what to do!"
After Bai Shishi finished, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Tian, awaiting his response.
"Why is Xiaogang targeting me this way?" Lin Tian didn’t lose his mind, he still thought there was a bit of an issue here.
Out of the blue, Xiaogang betrayed Miss Bai, and he’s targeting me this much?
Apparently, I haven’t offended him, have I?
The only reason Bai Shishi could think of for Xiaogang doing this was: "Because Xiaogang has always liked me, but lately I’ve gotten closer to you, so he chose to use betrayal to force me!"
"I see!" With Bai Shishi’s explanation, Lin Tian figured it out.
"Ha..."
Lin Tian chuckled coldly.
Bai Shishi grew anxious: "Don’t just laugh, what should we do now? Xiaogang took the entertainment venues with nearly two hundred people, if he teams up with Du Dahai, we’re done for!"
"What should we do?"
"Just fight back!!!"
