Top-Tier Superpower Student

"Ah?" As he looked at Lin Tianyi's serious face, Zhu Ziqiang's smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a thick shock.

Can't you be brave and righteous a few more times?

Several more times?

Zhu Ziqiang was both surprised and scared!

Being brave and righteous is just the official saying, but this is actually about fighting, right?

Considering Lin Tian's astonishing fighting ability, it's not about doing it several times, just doing it once with all his might could put an end to his glorious life.

Zhu Ziqiang stealthily kicked Liu Ming under the table, signalling for him to speak.

After receiving the signal, Liu Ming felt both anxious and frustrated!

In fact, he was also clueless about Lin Tian's real thoughts and didn't know if Lin Tian was joking or serious when he said that.

"Cough cough…" Liu Ming covered his mouth and coughed dryly, cautiously offering a smile as he said, "It's better not to! Principal Zhu's health isn't great, and can't withstand such turmoil!"

"This scaredy-cat! He really can't take a scare!" Seeing that Zhu Ziqiang was genuinely frightened by him, Lin Tian couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

The remark Lin Tian had made was actually just a casual comment!

After all, Zhu Ziqiang had completely submitted, not only lowering his pride and apologizing to him, but even giving him an award for "being brave and righteous."

Just for that, there was no need for him to continue making things difficult for the other party.

Lin Tian waved his hand and said with a laugh, "I was just joking! Even if I were to act bravely and righteously, I'd have to choose the right time, right? Principal Zhu, don't you agree?"

As he spoke, Lin Tian turned his head and glanced at Zhu Ziqiang with a half-smile.

Zhu Ziqiang had been seriously scared by Lin Tian earlier!

Now, hearing Lin Tian say this, he finally relaxed, his lifted heart settling back down.

If it's just a joke, that's good!

I hope there will never be brave and righteous deeds like these again!

Zhu Ziqiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and vigorously nodded like a pecking chicken, fully agreeing, "Right! Right! Right! Student Lin is right!"

"Right my foot! It's a good thing you ran into me this time. If it had been someone else, who knows how you and Wang Lei would have bullied them!" Lin Tian inwardly scorned.

Zhu Ziqiang's character became evident to Lin Tian earlier that noon.

And this incident also involved another person: Wang Lei!

This guy was no good either!

Yesterday in the hospital, Lin Tian had already observed that Wang Lei was very hostile towards him, even holding deep animosity.

That noon in Zhu Ziqiang's office, Wang Lei displayed his arrogant and domineering side.

A complete profligate indeed!

Lin Tian had no doubt that if he didn't have the connection with Zhong Guo, he would undoubtedly have been expelled by the school by now and coerced into treating Wang Lei's sister.

"Principal Zhu, when will the award be issued?" After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Tian looked at Zhu Ziqiang with a smile and asked.

Since it was a favor, naturally the benefits had to be secured in advance!

Even if Zhu Ziqiang didn't dare to write a blank check.

But the deal still had to be settled beforehand!

While Lin Tian cared about the award, Zhu Ziqiang cared even more!

Zhu Ziqiang almost didn't think before blurting out, "That's simple! I'll give a call to the school's Academic Affairs Office this evening, and the award can be issued tomorrow morning!"

"Tomorrow morning…" Lin Tian smiled noncommittally.

But Zhu Ziqiang, thinking Lin Tian was reluctant, kicked Liu Ming again.

Liu Ming instantly understood and explained, "The rumors have already spread throughout the school, and the longer it drags on, the greater the impact. Only this award can effectively quell the falsehoods! So…"

"That makes sense!" Lin Tian nodded approvingly and said with a laugh, "Then let it be tomorrow morning! From elementary school till now, I've never received a notice of award from the school!"

After discussing the serious matter, Lin Tian tapped on the table, his face wearing a harmless smile, and he addressed Zhu Ziqiang, "Principal Zhu, can I get this to-go?"

Although Lin Tian accepted Zhu Ziqiang's apology, that was all because of the award.

As for dining with this old guy...

Sorry, he had no appetite!

"To-go?" Hearing Lin Tian's words, Zhu Ziqiang was startled again.

Isn't it good to eat here, why take it to-go?

Won't it get cold by the time you take it back?

"It's like this. When I went to the cafeteria, our dorm mate Feng Jiabao asked me to bring him some food, and I promised him, so..." Lin Tian spouted the lie without hesitation.

"Oh, so you're bringing food back for your dorm mate!" Zhu Ziqiang nodded, as if he had a sudden realization.

But soon, Zhu Ziqiang understood the subtext.

So-called bringing food back for a dorm mate was just a pretext.

Lin Tian was clearly trying to get rid of him!

To put it bluntly, Lin Tian didn't like him, didn't want to share a meal with him, and wanted him to get as far away as possible!

"No need for that trouble!" Zhu Ziqiang hurriedly waved his hand, looking at Lin Tian pleasingly and said, "Liu Teacher and I have some matters to deal with. You can just call your friend over to eat here, and put it on my tab when you're done!"

"Call him over? How could I impose like that!" Lin Tian feigned politeness as he refused, but he was already taking his phone out of his pocket, ready to make a call.

Such hypocrisy!

This kid is just too low!

Zhu Ziqiang internally criticized, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

With an enthusiastic smile squeezed onto his face, Zhu Ziqiang nonchalantly shook his head, chuckling, "It's nothing to be embarrassed about, this is all as it should be."

"Alright then!" Lin Tian nodded in agreement.

"Then I won't bother you and Teacher Liu anymore. We'll be leaving first!" Zhu Ziqiang said as he tactfully stood up and patted Liu Ming.

As soon as Zhu Ziqiang and Liu Ming left the private room, Lin Tian dialed Feng Jiabao's number.

The moment the call connected, before Feng Jiabao could speak, Lin Tian went straight to the point, "Jiabao, get Guo Rong and Lin Tao over here, come to Hao Lai Wu's room 208 quickly, it's on me!"

"Hao Lai Wu? You're treating? Is there something to celebrate?" Feng Jiabao was as always a scatterbrain, eagerly inquiring.

"Why ask so many questions? Don't you want a free feast?" Lin Tian couldn't be bothered to explain.

"Eat! Of course, I'll eat! How could I miss such a good thing!" Feng Jiabao gleefully agreed, then quickly added, "Alright, I'll call Guo Rong and Lin Tao now. See you in ten minutes!"

"That settles it!" Lin Tian said and then hung up.

Since Zhu Ziqiang was treating, naturally Lin Tian wouldn't miss the opportunity to fleece him.

Afterward, Lin Tian called Bu Mengting.

Again, without waiting for Bu Mengting to speak, Lin Tian straight away said, "Mengting, gather your dorm mates and come to Hao Lai Wu's room 208 now, my treat!"

...

This meal was full of joy!

Since Zhu Ziqiang was the sucker picking up the tab, Lin Tian was unusually generous like never before.

All the expensive dishes on the menu were ordered one after another, and if one portion wasn't enough, another was added.

When spending someone else's money, Lin Tian never went easy.

After all, Zhu Ziqiang would be the one paying!

Luckily, this place was in the suburbs, mainly targeting students, so the consumption level wasn't that high; otherwise, the cost of this meal might have caused Zhu Ziqiang to spit blood.

During the meal, chitchatting was inevitable!

Inevitably, Feng Jiabao and the others steered the topic toward Lin Tian, inquiring about his heroic deed of storming into Zhu Ziqiang's office and beating him up.

Lin Tian had already promised Zhu Ziqiang to help him sustain the lie.

Now, of course, he wouldn't tell the truth.

After all, a man must keep his word!

So, Lin Tian vividly described to everyone how he "happened to pass by" the principal's office, saw the "thug" beating up the principal, and then performed a "heroic act" out of "a sense of justice."

"Come on, for real?"

"That exaggerated? Someone actually barged into the principal's office and hit him?"

"You actually rescued the principal from the bad guy?"

"Is the school really going to reward you?" Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

After listening to Lin Tian explain the "ins and outs", Feng Jiabao and the others were all wide-eyed.

Feng Jiabao was shocked someone dared to hit Zhu Ziqiang; Guo Rong praised Lin Tian for his bravery, while the rest like Lin Tao and Bu Mengting's dorm mates were all envious that Lin Tian was going to be rewarded.

Bu Mengting, however, said nothing, her eyes filled with doubt.

Feng Jiabao and the others were entirely unaware of the actual situation, so naturally, they took whatever Lin Tian said for granted.

But she was different!

She already knew the truth about the incident from Lin Tian since noon.

All afternoon, she had been worried about Lin Tian!

Now, hearing Lin Tian turn the beating of Zhu Ziqiang into a tale of heroism, she instinctively thought that Lin Tian was just afraid of worrying her and had deliberately concocted this set of lies.

"Don't worry..." Lin Tian naturally saw the doubt in Bu Mengting's eyes and whispered into her ear, quietly telling her about Zhu Ziqiang and Liu Ming seeking him out.

"Really?" Bu Mengting immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Lin Tian and Bu Mengting whispering to each other, with Bu Mengting reacting so strongly, Feng Jiabao teased, "Hey, there are other people here, can you two stop being so lovey-dovey?"

"What lovey-dovey? You're talking nonsense!" Bu Mengting contemptuously gave Feng Jiabao a look.

"Am I wrong?" Feng Jiabao pouted and laughed, "We all saw it just now; you two were whispering behind our backs, isn't that showing off your love?"

Unabashed, Bu Mengting retorted, "Not at all! Lin Tian just told me, your counselor came looking for him, saying that the school will issue the award notice tomorrow morning!"

"So that means the rumor about you beating up the principal is fake?" Feng Jiabao asked.

"You already said it was a rumor, do you even have to ask?" Lin Tian chuckled, his face full of pride, "The award notice will come out tomorrow morning, I'm really looking forward to it!"

******

After the meal, the group left Hao Lai Wu and went straight back to school.

Lin Tian didn't rush back to the dormitory but took Bu Mengting to a secluded place to be affectionate, and he also took the opportunity to explain in detail to Bu Mengting why Zhu Ziqiang gave in.

It wasn't until near eleven that they parted ways.

After escorting Bu Mengting to the female dormitory building, on his way back to the dorm, Lin Tian spotted a very familiar and utterly detestable figure standing at the door of the dorm building.

Wang Lei!

"Damn! This guy actually dares to come here, he really is tired of living!" Lin Tian immediately fumed, heading straight for Wang Lei.
