CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 628: YOU FAILED

"Mr. Lin, I want to apologize to you here. Our school has produced the richest person in Yun City, and I didn’t even know. This is a dereliction of duty as a principal, and it really shouldn’t have happened. This mistake is just too big."

Principal Zhao said with deep remorse.

The older the ginger, the spicier it is. Principal Zhao didn’t mention a word about using Lin Fan as a negative example earlier, as if it never happened.

"Luckily, with Mayor Long’s reminder, we learned about this exciting news, sparing us any regrets. As an outstanding graduate of our school, Mr. Lin certainly deserves the appropriate treatment. I now announce that Mr. Lin is the top special guest for this centennial school celebration! Students, our school has produced the richest person in Yun City, the biggest achievement since its inception. Mr. Lin is the pride of Tianhai Middle School, a role model for students to learn from. Let’s welcome Mr. Lin with a round of applause to participate in our school celebration."

Principal Zhao said, taking the lead in clapping.

All at once, applause thundered.

"Wow, Senior Brother Lin is so awesome, the richest in Yun City, so wealthy!"

"A billionaire god of wealth, I can’t even imagine!"

"Senior Brother Lin is simply god-like, I declare Senior Brother Lin as my idol!"

"Have you noticed how handsome Senior Brother Lin is?"

"I noticed early on, even though Senior Brother Lin dresses ordinarily, he can’t hide his exceptional handsomeness!"

"What do you know, Senior Brother Lin embodies simplicity and returning to one’s roots!"

"Exactly, Senior Brother Lin’s realm is so high, he’s simply a deity, unreachable for us mortals!"

Classmates chattered, all showing a look of admiration for Lin Fan.

It’s as if nothing happened before, when Lin Fan was considered a "negative example," they all had a sense of superiority, looking down and examining Lin Fan from above.

Now, they kneel, devoutly fawning over him, as if Lin Fan is the god they worship.

Lin Fan looked at this scene, feeling suddenly a bit nauseous.

This is what it means to be obsequious after arrogance, what it means to favor the rich and disdain the poor, this is the real face of reality.

Lin Fan wanted to leave, the longer he stayed, the more he felt he might actually vomit.

"Lin Fan, my brother wants to apologize to you."

Lai Xiaomei then pulled Lai Xiaomei over to Lin Fan.

At that moment, Lai Xiaoming appeared humbled and fearful, lacking any of his previous arrogance and swagger.

"Apologize?" Lin Fan said.

Lai Xiaoming quickly said, "Brother Fan, I was wrong, I failed to recognize Mount Tai, I really was dead wrong before, I shouldn’t have spoken to Brother Fan that way, please forgive me, Brother Fan!"

Lin Fan said, "Are you referring to scolding me, or the act of throwing 80,000 yuan at me?"

Lai Xiaoming blushed with shame, feeling utterly embarrassed. Of course, he now realized how disgraceful it was, throwing 80,000 yuan at a billionaire god of wealth, it was terribly foolish.

Utterly humiliating to the core.

"I really had blind dog eyes, I truly overestimated myself, Brother Fan, you’re magnanimous." Lai Xiaoming said.

He regretted it deeply, truly regretted it, throwing 80,000 yuan at a billionaire god of wealth, it was definitely the dumbest thing he’d done in his life.

Lai Xiaomei impatiently pushed Lai Xiaoming away and said, "Alright, give Lin Fan a proper apology, then leave!"

After sending off her brother, Lai Xiaomei smiled and said, "Lin Fan, do you remember, back in middle school, we used to sit next to each other, and we talked non-stop. It was such a happy time."

She smiled warmly, reminiscing about the past.

She had almost forgotten about Lin Fan. When she first saw him, she didn’t even recognize him.

Now, however, she seemed to have a sudden memory revival, recalling the bits and pieces with Lin Fan. She racked her brains to find evidence of having a good relationship with Lin Fan before; it looked a bit ridiculous, a bit ironic.

She seemed completely unaware.

"Is that so? I don’t remember." Lin Fan smiled and said.

Of course, Lin Fan hadn’t forgotten. In middle school, he indeed sat very close to Lai Xiaomei, and at that time, his grades were better than hers, and Lai Xiaomei did talk to him quite a bit.

But later, after his grades fell and Lai Xiaomei rose to the top, she never looked him in the eye again.

Thinking back, this Lai Xiaomei, was so realistic and utilitarian even back in middle school.

Lai Xiaomei felt a bit embarrassed, laughed it off, and said, "It’s okay if you don’t remember, after all, it was a long time ago, Lin Fan you’re a busy man with much on your mind, how about we add each other on WeChat, and we’ll have plenty of time to reminisce later."

As she spoke, two shy blushes appeared on her cheeks.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "How would you like to reminisce together?"

Lai Xiaomei blushing said, "However you like, I heard I used to be your goddess, I’m actually your fangirl, you’re my male god, I think we’re simply a match made in heaven."

Lin Fan said, "Are you confessing to me?"

Lai Xiaomei said, "If you think so, then it is."

Lin Fan said, "Then let me be direct, indeed, you’re a goddess in the hearts of many boys, even I admire you, because you truly are excellent."

Lai Xiaomei shyly said, "Really, you think I’m excellent?"

Lin Fan said, "Yes, if I were to propose to you now, would you agree? If I were to ask you to marry me, would you agree to marry me immediately?"

Lai Xiaomei exclaimed happily, "Really, I would! Lin Fan, are you really planning to marry me?"

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Weren’t you going to be an independent modern woman, not marrying or having children, focusing solely on your career?"

Lai Xiaomei said, "That was because I hadn’t met you, if it’s you, I can get married anytime, I can have many children for you, our children will surely be the best!"

Lin Fan said, "Good."

Lai Xiaomei exclaimed with joy, "What does ’good’ mean, Lin Fan, do you agree to marry me?"

Lin Fan said, "Let me ask you one more question. If I were that delivery guy Lin Fan, would you marry me?"

"This..." Lai Xiaomei was momentarily stunned.

Lin Fan said, "Of course you wouldn’t, the delivery guy Lin Fan wouldn’t even be qualified to pursue you, right?"

Lai Xiaomei’s face turned a bit awkward, she forced a smile and said, "Not really, Lin Fan, I like you for who you are..."

Lin Fan shook his head, "Didn’t you say that only someone with assets over a billion is qualified to like you?"

Lai Xiaomei was speechless.

Indeed, if Lin Fan were just a delivery man, she wouldn’t even spare a glance, not even if Lin Fan had assets over a billion, because among her suitors, there were quite a few with assets over a billion.

But assets of a trillion!

That’s too rare, Lin Fan wouldn’t even need to pursue her, she would go out of her way to pursue him.

Lin Fan said, "Actually, I also have a requirement for my other half."

Lai Xiaomei said, "What requirement?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "My other half must be a beauty scoring over 9 points."

Lai Xiaomei happily said, "Really, Lin Fan, what score do you give me, they all say I’m a ten-point beauty."

Lin Fan said, "No, you don’t pass."
