For Lin Fan, the centennial anniversary of the school was already over. It was an experience that left him feeling disgusted. The way those people treated him before and after knowing his identity was just too realistic. When they thought he was a delivery man, they mocked him in every possible way and even used him as a negative example. But once they found out he was the richest man in Yun City, they displayed all sorts of sycophantic postures.
However, no matter how much they tried to flatter him, they would never win Lin Fan’s favor, only his disgust.
On the contrary, Jia Xiaoling, whom everyone looked down upon, received Lin Fan’s help and had the chance to escape her current difficult life.
Because Jia Xiaoling always defended Lin Fan, she was always kind-hearted, even if she was fat and ugly, she was still considered by Lin Fan as a 9 out of 10 beauty.
In Lin Fan’s view, a kind heart surpasses and transcends the beauty or ugliness of one’s appearance.
Even though Lai Xiaoi had a passable appearance, her hypocritical attitude made Lin Fan feel disgusted, and he directly gave her a failing grade.
This infuriated Lai Xiaoi to the point of feeling half-dead, but there was nothing she could do. Lin Fan was the richest man in Yun City. What could she do about him? She was left with an unattainable hatred for Lin Fan, a kind of regretful hatred that would haunt her for a long ti.
Every ti she thought about missing the perfect opportunity to connect with a trillionaire, she would feel a sharp pain in her heart. If only she had known Lin Fan was a trillionaire earlier, if only she hadn’t deaned Lin Fan at the start...
Lin Fan, under the watchful eyes of many, walked out of the venue and planned to get into his Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
"Mr. Lin, please wait."
Mayor Long quickly caught up with him, smiling as he spoke.
Seeing Lin Fan leave, Mayor Long said to Principal Zhao, "I’m leaving, too," and hurriedly followed.
Originally busy with official duties, he hadn’t planned to attend the centennial celebration; he was there for Lin Fan. Now that Lin Fan was leaving, he had no reason to stay.
"Mayor, is there sothing you need?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
Mayor Long smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, I believe you are a busy man. This visit to Tianhai City should be a short one, right? Chances to et and talk in person might be rare in the future. Do you have ti today, Mr. Lin? I’d like to invite you to the city hall as a guest."
Lin Fan responded with an ’oh’ sound; he understood Mayor Long’s intentions. It was nothing more than wanting to talk to him about investing in Tianhai City.
Lin Fan is a trillionaire and a local of Tianhai. This is practically an opportunity for the future developnt of Tianhai. If Lin Fan decides to lead investnts in Tianhai, it would be extraordinary.
Mayor Long personally ca to invite Lin Fan, giving him considerable face as well.
Lin Fan actually had nothing else to do today. He had mainly co to the city to treat Secretary Ma’s illness and then planned to return to the village.
Oh right, his father did ntion as he went out this morning that it was Chen Hai’s wedding day next door. His father even asked if Lin Fan wanted to help set up the venue. After all, they are neighbors, and the village people help each other out with weddings and funerals. Lin Fan and Chen Hai had grown up playing together.
However, Lin Fan said he was not free and did not help. It wasn’t because Lin Fan was stingy, but because he had to go to the city to treat Secretary Ma and genuinely had no ti.
He did plan that once he went back to the village, he would help next door if needed. But now, Mayor Long was inviting him to the city hall, and it wasn’t easy to decline. It seed he wouldn’t be able to help with Chen Hai’s wedding.
Ring ring ring...
Just when Lin Fan was about to answer Mayor Long, the phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Wei Yue’er.
Lin Fan found it a bit strange, thinking sothing might be up, he said, "Sorry, Mr. Mayor, let take this call first."
Mayor Long quickly said, "Please, Mr. Lin, go ahead."
Lin Fan then answered the phone, "Yue’er, what’s up?"
Wei Yue’er replied, "Nothing much, Lin Fan. It’s like this, I ran into your mom this morning. She said you ca into the city, and I’m just coincidentally at a school in the city for training today. Did you leave already? Do you want to et up? I’m feeling a bit unwell today, and I was hoping you could give a ride back to the village."
Lin Fan laughed, "I was wondering what it could be, no problem. When are you leaving? I’ll co pick you up."
Wei Yue’er said, "I can leave about now."
Then Wei Yue’er told Lin Fan the school’s address.
After hanging up the phone.
Lin Fan said, "Mayor Long, I’ll go with you to the city hall. You’re right, I’m just back temporarily and will soon return to Yun City, but right now I need to pick up a friend, is that okay?"
Mayor Long quickly responded, "No problem, let’s do this. I’ll go with you, Mr. Lin, and we can chat on the way. After picking up your friend, we’ll head to the city hall."
Lin Fan broke a sweat, feeling that Mayor Long was probably concerned he might run off, thus wanting to accompany him.
"Alright then."
So, Lin Fan got into the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The mayor got into his official car, following Lin Fan’s vehicle.
Tianhai Affiliated First Primary School.
This was the address Wei Yue’er gave Lin Fan.
The primary school’s gate.
A few school security guards were on duty, idly playing on their phones.
It wasn’t yet ti for school to end, so there wasn’t much else to do. Everyone seed a bit listless, killing ti on their phones while waiting for dismissal.
Suddenly, the sound of a lodious engine approached, and the security guards looked towards the source.
"Holy crap!"
"Damn, is this for real?"
"Am I seeing things?"
In shock, the security guards suddenly beca alert and attentive.
They saw a Rolls-Royce Cullinan drive up to the school’s entrance, and astonishingly, a governnt car followed behind!
"Holy crap, which badass parent ca to pick up their child?" The security guards were left speechless.
"Quick, get up, and go see what’s happening. Rember, whatever happens, we cannot offend the owners of these two cars; they’re absolutely untouchable!" the security team leader advised.
The security guards imdiately perked up with heightened alertness, heading outside to stand in formation.
From the Rolls-Royce, a young man in simple attire stepped out...
The security guards exchanged glances, baffled by the situation. If not for the Rolls-Royce, just looking at this young man, they might think he had co straight from so rural village.
But the fact was, he was driving a Rolls-Royce. Even if he were a beggar, he’s a beggar in a Rolls-Royce, and they dare not offend!
Wait a minute!
They saw Mayor Long stepping out of the official car.
"What?"
"Damn!"
"The Mayor?"
The security guards’ legs went weak. Damn, the person who ca was actually Mayor Long, and he ca to their primary school?
"Mr. Lin, I’ll go in with you," Mayor Long said, very courteously moving next to Lin Fan.
The security guards exchanged puzzled looks. Did they see right? What was going on? Mayor Long seed very courteous to this plainly dressed young man.
To be able to have Mayor Long speak so courteously, who on earth was this young man?
Dressed plainly?
That hardly mattered anymore. Even if Lin Fan were dressed like a beggar, the fact that a mayor was so courteous to such a beggar ant he was undoubtedly a big deal.
