Chapter 814: Chapter 811: Competing Intelligence?

Su Shan was stunned when her fellow photographers, driven by professional sensitivity, turned on their cameras to capture the scene unfolding in front of them: the handshake and conversation between the student and the dean, what great news material this was.

But Dean Miao turned and waved his hand to stop them, saying, "Everyone, please don’t film me. I’m quite old now, and appearing on television would frighten the young people. You can go and film our frontline doctors and nurses; they are the ones who work the hardest and deserve to be filmed."

Dean Miao said this very tactfully, but the meaning was clear: I’m not interested in being on television. He, as a dean, is truly not afraid to speak in this way to the TV people, even if the station director were here, he’d say the same thing.

Su Shan snapped back to her senses in time, waved her hand to get her companions to turn their cameras. She not only agreed with Lin Tian but couldn’t afford to offend Dean Miao either.

"Brother Lin, I know you are a low-profile person and didn’t want the TV station to come. But this was an assignment from the headquarters about the hospital’s image promotion, no way around it, so we let them come." Dean Miao explained.

"No problem, Su Shan is an experienced host and will know how to handle it," Lin Tian said carelessly.

Dean Miao nodded, looked at Zi Yan, and smiled, "Little Zi, you’re here too. A few days ago, I went to Jinghua City and even met with your master."

The name Little Zi made Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan exchange glances. In terms of seniority, it was no problem for Dean Miao to call her this, but Lin Tian’s first thought was the Gu Worm named Little Zi from Xiao Manxuan’s protective necklace.

Although Little Zi is also female, calling her the same as the charming Zi Yan still made Lin Tian feel very strange.

Zi Yan didn’t notice Lin Tian’s strangeness and asked Dean Miao, "How is her health? I haven’t seen my master in a long time; she’s always busier than me."

"Of course, your master is well-versed in health maintenance, she’s even healthier than I am," Dean Miao laughed.

While several people were talking, a young man from Xinghai Hospital walked over, probably in the role of an assistant or secretary, whispered a few sentences beside Dean Miao.

Lin Tian heard it clearly, roughly reminding Dean Miao that school leaders had appeared, and they could go in. This was an assistant’s duty to remind the leaders of the schedule and activity process.

Dean Miao nodded and turned back to Lin Tian saying, "Brother Lin, let’s walk together. You can’t sneak away today."

Seeing this situation, Lin Tian realized he couldn’t quietly slip away today. He nodded in agreement. At that moment, Lin Tian, Zi Yan, Xiao Manxuan, and Kikuchi Mika followed Dean Miao and joined the leaders from both the hospital and the school.

School leaders took turns coming up to shake hands and greet Dean Miao, but Dean Miao kept chatting with Lin Tian, seemingly inattentive to their courtesies, making the school leaders feel quite embarrassed.

Those leaders who opposed Lin Tian’s participation in the welcome ceremony felt even worse. At this moment, they finally realized how ridiculous and naive their previous vehement opposition was.

He was so familiar with Dean Miao, he didn’t care at all about joining this group of leaders for the ceremony. Except for Yan Dehui and Director Gao, the other five school leaders didn’t dare to look at Lin Tian; it was so damn embarrassing.

Lin Tian and the leaders were in front, with doctors and nurses behind, and the TV station people on the side, moving grandly into the school.

Upon entering the campus, Lin Tian found out that the school had arranged for students to line up along the aisle to welcome them. Those not arranged gathered on the roadside to watch the excitement. Nearly all of the school’s thousands of students came out.

Class 1 of Grade 12 occupied the best position, with the best view. They were the first to notice Lin Tian, as he walked at the front with Dean Miao, engaging in friendly conversation.

"Gosh, look fast, isn’t that Brother Tian at the front?" Fatty Huang exclaimed in surprise.

"So awesome, bringing honor to our Class 1 of Grade 12," another male student said.

"Look, the school leaders’ faces are turning green; being ignored doesn’t feel good. These school leaders have been arrogant for too long; let them experience being ignored," another student said with relish.

"Wow, my Brother Lin is so handsome," a girl swooned.

"Senior Lin Tian is so amazing, so handsome!"

The girls’ eyes were sparkling as they looked at Lin Tian, who was laughing and chatting, eager to run up to him. Qi Jing stood amid the crowd; looking at Lin Tian’s smile and figure, a flash of regret and sadness crossed her face.

In the midst of a joyful atmosphere, there were exceptions. Some like Sun Decai and his group looked very upset.

"Guo Heng, did you find out what’s going on?" Sun Decai repressed his anger, gritting his teeth.

"I found out. It’s said that Xinghai Hospital is working on a research project, sending doctors to be stationed at our school long-term. Today is the first day; there’s also a free clinic activity later," Guo Heng cautiously replied.

Sun Decai’s muscles twitched, and he said in a low voice, "Stationed! Free clinic! Why choose our school at this time? Did Lin Tian invite them over?"

Guo Heng lowered his head, saying softly, "I don’t know about that."

"Don’t know? Useless, such a big commotion and you don’t know anything, how are you gathering information? They’re practically stomping on our faces, it’s a blatant slap in the face!" Sun Decai angrily hissed.

Second Young Master Bai patted Sun Decai’s shoulder, comforting him, "Brother Decai, don’t be impulsive, calm down first. This happened too suddenly; we were all caught off guard. Don’t be beaten and then fall for Lin Tian’s tricks again. Last time, he almost succeeded in pitting us against each other with a rift, but luckily it was explained afterward. We must be cautious."

Sun Decai took a few deep breaths, somewhat suppressing his anger, and then looked at Lin Tian with a gloomy expression.

Lin Tian seemed to sense something, turning his gaze to Sun Decai. Their eyes met, and it felt like sparks flew in the air. Lin Tian curled one side of his mouth, his eyes showing a meaningful smile, conveying a message to Sun Decai: competing in intelligence? Playing tricks? I’ve got more people on my side, let’s see if you can keep Lai Xiucheng in the hospital for life.

Sun Decai seemed to understand the sarcasm in Lin Tian’s gaze, his face looking even worse.

"Brother Lin, it seems you’re quite popular at school, especially among the girls." Dean Miao’s words interrupted the "mental battle" between Lin Tian and Sun Decai.

"Dean Miao flatters me, I’m generally a low-key person." Lin Tian said very modestly.

"Humph..."

His words elicited two humphs from Xiao Manxuan and Zi Yan, obviously implying that if Lin Tian knew how to keep a low profile, pigs could climb trees.

"Hahaha..." Dean Miao laughed heartily, saying, "Brother Lin, with your distinguished appearance and excellence, it’s normal to be popular among girls. No need for humility. Don’t fear me saying, when I was young I was also popular with girls; it’s just that in our era, we had to be a lot more reserved."
