Chapter 370: Chapter 369: The Crowd Is Excited

The man was about the same age as the female host, Su Shan, sporting a side-part hairstyle, partly handsome but with a sense of superiority in his eyes as he looked at the students passing by. It seemed as if he thought his profession was nobler than others, yet he himself had once been a student.

He didn’t bring any filming equipment, so he simply took out his phone and started taking pictures of Lin Tian without asking for his permission.

"Teacher Ru Meng, is this the kind of person you invite? Haha, quite enlightening," Lin Tian said indifferently as he glanced at the female host with a sneer.

Liu Ruming also frowned, as the man was the host’s assistant, but his actions also displeased her as he clearly didn’t know how to respect students.

The female host, Su Shan, felt somewhat embarrassed and said to her assistant, "Pan Hui, be careful, you can’t talk to students like that."

Although she said this, she did not stop the assistant from taking photos. Su Shan merely regarded Lin Tian as an ordinary student, and she considered what Principal Yan had praised as an exaggeration by the school.

Moreover, being stood up by a student annoyed Su Shan, who was considered the top host at her station. If it had not been for the participation of city leaders in the ceremony, the station wouldn’t have sent a leading host.

But she maintained her composure and elegance, not letting her irritation show.

"Is this really necessary?" Pan Hui said dismissively, curling his lip.

"Teacher Ru Meng, you see what’s happening, don’t blame me for what I’m about to do," Lin Tian remarked coolly, casting a glance at Liu Ruming.

Liu Ruming tensed and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

In these few minutes, Class 12 cohort and nearby classes all noticed the TV host, and gathered by the windows and door frames to watch. However, hearing what the male assistant said, everyone frowned.

"Delete my photo right now," Lin Tian said indifferently to Pan Hui.

"What did you say? Delete it? Am I hearing this right? You’re a student, and you might not get the chance to be on TV in your entire life. You should be thanking us," Pan Hui exclaimed in surprise, his tone haughty.

After he spoke, he flaunted his phone by waving it around, as if to say he had taken the photos and there was nothing Lin Tian could do about it.

But before he could retract his hand, his phone suddenly disappeared, and Lin Tian was now holding it—the very one that belonged to Pan Hui. Lin Tian had snatched the phone with a lightning-fast movement.

"You... You stole my phone," Pan Hui finally reacted, immediately shouting, "Give me back my phone, can you afford to pay if it’s broken?"

Lin Tian ignored his words and deftly opened the phone’s back cover, pulled out the memory card, and threw the phone back to him, saying, "An old phone, who cares about yours."

"Lin Tian, what are you doing?" Liu Ruming said gravely, sensing that things were getting out of hand.

"What am I doing? Taking photos without my consent, that’s an invasion of portrait rights. Since he didn’t want to delete them, I had to help him," Lin Tian stated coldly, then raised the memory card, squeezed it hard, and with a snap, the thin memory card shattered.

"You... You have no right! This is outrageous, you’re just a mere student, who gave you the nerve!" Pan Hui also became furious, feeling humiliated to be treated this way by a student.

The female host Su Shan watched the unfolding events with a detached gaze, essentially allowing her assistant to seek his own revenge.

"Teacher Ru Meng, do you think I’m being excessive?" Lin Tian said, dismissing him and instead speaking to Liu Ruming.

Liu Ruming frowned and said, "Assistant Pan did have some mistakes, but..."

"There’s no ’but’! In their eyes, I’m just a student. If I ask him to delete it, will he? Hmph, the answer is no, so of course I had to take matters into my own hands," Lin Tian said coldly.

"Lin Tian, don’t bite the hand that feeds you," Pan Hui, feeling ignored and his pride severely wounded, growled even more angrily, "You’re just a student, what status do you have? You disrespect the leaders and the city TV station, and now you’ve deleted our pictures. Do you even understand the rules? I think such a student should be expelled."

"If you can, have Principal Yan expel me," Lin Tian said indifferently, with disdain.

At such a young age, Pan Hui was able to work at the city TV station and even become the assistant to the leading host. It wasn’t possible without some connections, which likely included a certain host or perhaps a channel supervisor; otherwise, he would be hosting himself.

Such people, used to being flattered, developed a condescending attitude, and at the slightest opposition, they would bully and preach to others under their assumed authority.

"Lin Tian, you may think Principal Yan praises you to the skies, but in my eyes, ruining your reputation is just a matter of a few words," Pan Hui stepped forward, whispered with a cold smirk, "The media is the uncrowned king. If they say you’re a good person, you are; if they say you’re bad, you have to be!"

"Haha..." Lin Tian laughed loudly and shouted, "Brothers, the TV station folks want to tarnish my reputation, what should we do!"

The volume wasn’t loud, yet it pierced through the entire teaching building, and all the students heard Lin Tian’s call.

"Who dares!" The students from senior year class one were the first to rush out, including the class leaders, all righteously shouting as they encircled Su Shan and Pan Hui with dozens of people.

Su Shan’s brow furrowed even more, but she remained composed and said in a low voice to her assistant, "Who asked you to talk like that?"

Seeing the dozens of people, Pan Hui was still not very nervous, feeling secure as a member of the TV station staff, believing they couldn’t do much to him.

But the next scene shocked him, and even the composure on Su Shan’s face vanished.

All the students from the third year rushed out of their classrooms to join those from class one, surrounding the two people. Not only that, crowds of people suddenly poured out from the three staircases, left, center, and right, all heading straight towards Lin Tian’s location, a mass of figures converging.

Lin Tian quickly estimated maybe there were over a thousand people, with the girls running even faster than the boys. Soon, over a thousand students had gathered in front of the senior year class one, those who couldn’t fit standing outside, encircling who knows how many layers, startling even Lin Tian himself.

Damn, my appeal isn’t small at all, Lin Tian thought incredulously.

All the people glared angrily at Su Shan and Pan Hui inside the circle, while Teacher Liu Ruming was already dumbfounded. It was just a call from him, and so many people showed up; if the space in front of the teaching building had been wider, even more would probably have gathered.

"Who dares to expel Brother Tian!" a boy shouted, and then other boys joined in the condemnation.

"Brother Tian is such a good person, and yet you dare to smear his name without conscience, do you even deserve to be human?" a girl from the inner circle shouted angrily.

"What... what do you want to do?" Pan Hui, facing the indignation of over a thousand people, felt his legs go weak. Just a mere threatening line had led to such severe consequences!
