Chapter 291: Chapter 290: Announcement of the Recommended Candidate List

"Damn, Teacher Liu, are you a cat? You walk without making a sound; it’s scary enough to kill someone!" Lin Tian turned around and saw Liu Ruming with that half-smiling, half-serious expression and protested in dissatisfaction.

"You are with the two beautiful school belles, of course you wouldn’t notice me." Liu Ruming still had that expression, and her words seemed tinged with a touch of melancholy.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu both looked at Lin Tian with surprise and suspicion, feeling that Teacher Liu’s tone was off.

"All right, Teacher Liu, there’s no need to put on such an act, making people think I’ve wronged you somehow. Just say what’s on your mind, is it about the English Society?" Lin Tian said indifferently.

He had Eyes of Golden Flame, and with one look into Liu Ruming’s eyes, he knew she was just feigning melancholy, probably as a small retaliation for his earlier comment.

Beautiful women, after all, are a bit narcissistic, and teachers are no exception. Suddenly being told by a man that he’s not interested, they naturally feel a bit miffed, hence the small, deliberate counter in front of the two school belles.

"Hehe, indeed, I can’t hide anything from you. I’m really starting to wonder if you’re an ancient demon in disguise," Liu Ruming said with her expression and tone returning to normal after being found out.

Then she turned to Xiao Manxuan and the other girl, smiling and saying, "Mr. Xiao, Zhang, please don’t misunderstand, Lin Tian really did save me once. Sorry for making you laugh earlier, you won’t be upset with Teacher Liu, will you?"

"Not at all, Teacher Liu is the best," Xiao Manxuan said with a sweet smile, seemingly incredibly obedient. But Lin Tian knew that beneath the docile exterior was a willful heart.

Zhang Lingyu also smiled sweetly, "How could we? Teacher Liu should discipline Lin Tian more often to keep him honest and straightforward."

"Alright, that’s enough, do you think I’m an easy target because I’m a good person?" Lin Tian complained, then warned, "Let me tell you, if I stop being good, even I would be scared of myself, so you better watch out."

"Okay, Teacher Liu, please give me the stuff, I still have to go back and eat dinner," Lin Tian said, turning to Liu Ruming and extending his hand.

"Here’s the planning document for the establishment of the society, take a look," Liu Ruming said seriously, handing over a document.

Without saying much, Lin Tian accepted it and flipped it open, activated his X-ray vision, and skimmed through the ten pages of the plan in moments before handing it back to Liu Ruming.

"You’ve finished just like that?" Liu Ruming hesitantly accepted the document, asking in disbelief.

Xiao Manxuan and the other girl also looked at Lin Tian in surprise. Reading a document like this was the stuff of legends, could it be real? Surely this bastard wasn’t bluffing them.

"Teacher Liu, you don’t believe me? Alright, then I’ll recite some sections for you," Lin Tian knew he had to prove himself, otherwise Liu Ruming would think he was just brushing her off.

Lin Tian promptly recited several sections from the document, without any hesitation, and even pointed out three typos and two instances of incorrect punctuation marks.

Liu Ruming was truly shocked now, she had written the planning document herself and knew that Lin Tian’s recitation was accurate. To verify, Liu Ruming opened the document to check carefully, and Xiao Manxuan and the other girl leaned in to look; the typos and punctuation errors were exactly as Lin Tian had pointed out.

Eidetic memory, never forgetting a thing seen once! The three beauties looked at Lin Tian as if he were a monster, their pretty faces filled with astonishment.

"Lin Tian, are you sure you’re not transformed from an old demon?" Liu Ruming asked in amazement.

"There’s nothing magical about it, with training, anyone can do it," Lin Tian lied, then added, "Don’t ask me how I trained, it’s a secret."

If Lin Tian were willing, he wouldn’t even need to open the files; he could simply use his X-ray vision to know what was inside. However, that would be too shocking and unexplainable, so Lin Tian’s current method of speed reading was already quite restrained.

"Do you have any other thoughts on this proposal?" Liu Ruming asked.

She was not one to dwell on things, and did not linger on Lin Tian’s frightening reading speed and extraordinary memory.

"I have no objections, but it would be best if you recruit a couple more vice presidents after the establishment of the association. I really don’t have much time to spend on it," Lin Tian said as he spread his hands, speaking earnestly.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Teacher Liu, don’t consider Xiao Manxuan for the position, she won’t be taking the role of vice president."

"Fine, I’ll submit the application to Principal Yan as soon as possible. Let’s leave it at that for now, I’m off," Liu Ruming said, unable to persuade Lin Tian and thus compromising.

Only after Liu Ruming had left did Xiao Manxuan curiously ask, "Lin Tian, why don’t you want me to be the vice president? It seems like a pretty good position."

"Are you silly? The point of recruiting vice presidents is to take over my work. If you become the vice president, you’ll have to handle all of the association’s business, and as your bodyguard, I’d still have to accompany you and do it anyway. Then what’s the point in recruiting vice presidents?" Lin Tian looked at her, speechless, and shook his head.

"Oh, I see now, but why did you call me silly? As if you’re the only smart one. I’m not talking to you anymore. Sister Yu, let’s go," Xiao Manxuan glared at Lin Tian and then pulled Zhang Lingyu away.

The two of them chatted all the way, completely ignoring Lin Tian as if he were invisible.

After lunch break, the classes continued as scheduled. The first class of the afternoon was Chinese, and even Fang Ming had heard about the establishment of the English Association and supported Lin Tian’s suggestion, adding that she would be available to consult if they needed help with anything.

During the ten-minute break between classes, Lin Tian was reading when Fatty Huang suddenly burst in from outside. He didn’t even catch his breath before shouting, "Big news, big news...!"

"Hey, Fatty, what news is so important that you’re this flustered?" a female classmate asked with curiosity.

"You don’t know? The list of university admissions through recommendation has been released already, it’s posted on the bulletin board outside!" Fatty Huang said, after catching his breath.

That soon? Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment. He exchanged glances with Xiao Manxuan. Principal Yan was very decisive; the matter they had discussed in the morning was publicized by the afternoon.

Principal Yan was truly an interesting person. He hadn’t even finalized the two projects yet and he was already publishing the list. Was this his way of showing determination to me and the Xiao Family? Lin Tian’s lips curved into a slight smile, guessing the principal’s thoughts. He considered him someone capable of doing great things without hesitancy.

"Fatty, a list is released every year. How is that news? It’s none of our business anyway," Gao Le commented indifferently.

"Hmph, you’re underestimating me. If it wasn’t something explosive, would I casually call it big news?" Fatty Huang proudly lifted his double chin and boasted, "I’ll have you know, Sun Decai and Guo Heng and the others are not on the list!"

"What! Really? Their dads donated money, wasn’t it a sure thing they would be recommended?"

"Damn, that’s some major news. Let’s go check it out."

A swarm of students rushed out, leaving only Lin Tian, Xiao Manxuan, and Zhang Lingyu in the classroom.
