Liu Wenxing shook his head and frowned, "I’m not quite sure either. It just so happened that the pond is near the dormitory area, and in sumr, frogs are abundant and constantly noisy; perhaps soone complained. Then the frogs in other ponds also got dragged into this, just like a gate catching fire and the fish in the moat suffering."
"I rember when we started school, our teacher educated us that frogs are good companions for humans, specifically eating pests. Now, for a damn college entrance exam, they’re actually poisoning frogs. Hah, I just can’t understand, what kind of people is our education turning us into!" Lin Tian said, extrely disappointed.
Lin Tian felt indignant, "Adults always say how bad we are, saying Gen X is a failed generation, Gen Y has brain damage, and Gen Z is spoiled. I really want to curse, fuck you! Are we students inherently like this?"
"Since the age of three, when we start to understand things, at ho, we learn from our parents; at school, we learn from our teachers; outside, we learn from the adults in society. We start as blank slates and turn into what we are now; could it be that these images were painted by ourselves? ’It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to educate people!’ It really is just a damn joke!" Lin Tian said irritably, for no apparent reason.
Perhaps provoked by the backstabbing Lai Xiucheng, Lin Tian flared up with anger. If the environnt of the students is filled with people like Lai Xiucheng, doing things like casually poisoning frogs for the sake of a college entrance exam, then the saying ’It takes a hundred years to educate people’ becos nothing more than a joke!
"Brother Tian, you’ve beco radically outspoken," Liu Wenxing uttered a classic remark.
"I’m young, so I’m radically outspoken. Everyone ntions radical outspokenness with a bit of sarcasm, but I think they are the ones who should be mocked. We are radically outspoken because there is still so integrity in us, not servility," Lin Tian stated angrily.
"Forget it, let’s go back and get so sleep. I’m tired of talking," Lin Tian waved his hand, said goodbye to Liu Wenxing, stepped out to get his car, and headed back to the Xiao Mansion.
In the afternoon when Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan entered the classroom, they heard a big group of people gathered together talking about sothing.
"Brother Tian, you’ve arrived. There’s big news this afternoon," Fatty Huang bellowed, his voice really suited for announcing news, and he certainly enjoyed it.
Lin Tian put down his things and asked curiously, "Don’t you usually announce news in the morning, why the change to the afternoon?"
"That’s because there was no significant news worth announcing this morning. This news is also connected to the last big news," Fatty Huang said proudly, acting as if he knew everything.
"Fatty, you said to wait for Brother Tian before telling us. Now Brother Tian is here, stop keeping us in suspense. Hurry up," Gao Le urged.
Pretending to cough twice, Fatty Huang picked up the newspaper and read, "Tianzhao Group’s acquisition of Dapeng Entertainnt fails. A mysterious figure erges, taking over Dapeng Entertainnt and renaming it Tianfeng Film and Television."
Tianfeng Film and Television? Lin Tian was stunned. Wasn’t that the na he ca up with? He hadn’t expected Qi Dapeng to act so swiftly that it made the news in just one day.
"Those little bastards trying to take over our Xikou City’s company failed, what a truly satisfying thing!" Gao Le exclaid happily.
"Exactly, I heard these little bastards have been buying up and rging businesses everywhere. It’s clearly economic invasion. At last, there’s a mysterious person striking against Tianzhao Group to keep those little bastards in check!" another classmate discussed.
"I wonder who this mysterious person is. Well done."
"I don’t know, the news just said the mysterious person is also from Xikou City," Fatty Huang shook his head.
"Tianfeng Entertainnt has the word ’Tian’. Don’t you guys think it might be our classmate Lin Tian?" a girl suddenly interjected.
Lin Tian was startled and inwardly exclaid, won’s intuition is indeed terrifying; without any basis, their guess was spot on.
Then, all the classmates turned their eyes towards Lin Tian, including Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan.
"Damn, what are you guys thinking, acquiring Dapeng Entertainnt, do you think I’m a second-generation rich kid? If I were a second-generation rich, would I have had to drop out in my freshman year?" Lin Tian clarified.
This was sothing that couldn’t be spread around school, otherwise it would be impossible to have a peaceful read. Moreover, Lin Tian wasn’t lying; he really wasn’t a second-generation rich, at best he could be considered half of a first-generation rich.
"It’s hard to say, not a second-generation rich, but maybe a first-generation rich." Zhang Lingyu comnted.
Lin Tian could only pretend he didn’t hear the troublemaker little girl.
Lin Tian didn’t admit it, and others couldn’t do anything about it, so the joke was glossed over. Only Xiao Manxuan kept smiling at Lin Tian, her clear eyes seemingly discovering so secret.
"Everyone, apparently the school is planning to poison the pond on campus to kill the frogs, claiming it’s to prevent the frogs’ croaking from affecting the college entrance exam." Fatty Huang, seeing that the first news didn’t continue to cause a sensation, announced another piece of news.
At this announcent, everyone had different expressions—so indifferent, so frowning, so outraged, and most girls were sympathetic.
"Lin Tian, is this true?" Xiao Manxuan asked, frowning slightly.
"Probably, I heard it from Liu Wenxing at noon today." Lin Tian answered.
"Isn’t that too cruel?" Xiao Manxuan said sowhat angrily.
"Yeah, that’s too cruel!" the girl behind also said pitifully.
"Fatty, where did you get this news from? It can’t be a rumor, right?" a student questioned.
"It’s definitely not a rumor, there’s no point in making up a rumor about sothing like this." Fatty Huang assured, patting his chest.
Xiao Manxuan tugged at Lin Tian’s clothes, looking pitifully, "Lin Tian, can you save them?"
"I’m your bodyguard, not a frog’s bodyguard, and besides, how can we students interfere with what the school decides to do?" Lin Tian said helplessly.
He had guessed right; once the little girl knew about this, her compassion flared up, almost to the point of tears. Was this the sa domineering Second Miss?
"Lin Tian, aren’t you quite familiar with the principal?" Xiao Manxuan suddenly asked with a smile.
Seeing her smile, Lin Tian knew what she was thinking, but he still said, "It’s not as simple as you think. The decision is most likely due to complaints from several parents. You know how selfish and crazy parents can be about the college entrance exam."
"They can demand silence when the neighboring family flushes their toilet to ensure their own child sleeps well, even going so far as to block roads and cause traffic jams; parents at this ti are unreasonable." Lin Tian comnted.
"Can’t it be changed?" Xiao Manxuan asked, blinking her eyes and looking expectantly at Lin Tian.
anwhile, on the top floor of the school building, a few people were discussing the frog poisoning issue. If Lin Tian were there, he would definitely recognize these people—Sun Decai, Guo Heng, Lai Xiucheng, and Bai Yufeng of the Bai Family.
"Decai, are you sure Lin Tian will definitely take care of this issue?" Bai Yufeng asked.
