Chapter 249 I Don't Like Their Banner!_2
Standing nearly six-foot-three, he overshadowed almost everyone present. Even Lin Beichen, in terms of height, couldn't compare.
Just standing next to him, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Classmates around them pointed and whispered, their eyes full of sympathy for Lin Beichen.
Although Lin Beichen was a famous top student at Imperial Capital University, for most people, he was just good at studying.
Apart from studying, compared to Mike, he was worthless.
Mike voluntarily blocked Lin Beichen, instantly becoming the biggest news at Imperial Capital University this morning. Many people abandoned their morning classes to gossip.
Lin Beichen put away his soy milk and frowned.
"Do you need something?"
Lin Beichen asked, feeling a bit sentimental.
Is this a narrow path for enemies, or a suicidal move?
The Brooklyn Clan had been tortured by him to the brink of extinction. Finally, they managed to change to a new Young Master, who came to stir up trouble in front of him again.
How does the Brooklyn Clan train their people? Haven't they been shown his picture and instructed to avoid him?
Seeing Lin Beichen alone, Mike sneered with disdain, hooked his arm around a beautiful female student from the student council.
"Beauty, I heard there's a double major top student at Imperial Capital University. Is it him?"
Top student?
This guy isn't here to invest; why is he asking about me?
Lin Beichen frowned, took a sip of soy milk, and remained silent.
The student council beauty, appearing proud, leaned on Mike and said sweetly:
"Lin Beichen, your academic performance is excellent, but being good at studying is useless in this world... Mr. Mike is an important donor to Imperial Capital University and an outstanding successful young man worldwide. You should actively learn from him and humbly ask for advice."
Mike shook the ring on his ring finger, his face filled with a cold smile.
"I'm not actually that successful, just the future leader of a billion-dollar corporation. I'm nowhere near some geniuses who are good at studying."
Student council praises, school administrators flatter, along with pomp, Mike was enveloped in the aura of success.
When everyone glanced back at Lin Beichen, there was a hint of disdain.
"I've always disliked Lin Beichen. What's he got besides better grades? He doesn't even attend class regularly, and no one pays attention to his absences."
"People like him show off only in school. Who cares about him outside the campus?"
"Look at Mr. Mike, even with money, he's still so humble."
"There's no comparison. Compared to European aristocrats, even if we're hardworking, we're still just commoners."
The crowd exchanged remarks, belittling Lin Beichen and praising Mike.
Lin Beichen squeezed his soy milk cup tightly, his face grim.
He didn't expect that even within Imperial Capital University, there were still so many self-deprecating individuals.
Though study ability and personal virtue are unrelated, Dragon Country's custom tends to equate good grades with good character.
He was even more shocked that these were all students, already tainted by society's vulgar winds.
The student council girl, Mike's hand almost reached inside her clothes, yet she still leaned in, shamelessly offering herself.
He could understand that everyone longs for a better life, and wealthy people are always given bonus points.
But, this is Imperial Capital University, the top academy in Dragon Country!
How dare a foreign scum try to trample over Imperial Capital University's head?
"Is your student council cheap?"
Lin Beichen coldly remarked.
"Lin Beichen, what are you saying!"
The student council girl screamed.
"Supervisor, how are you teaching these students? Not respecting foreign friends is one thing, but not showing kindness to women. Do you know how European gentlemen are trained? No matter how poorly a lady acts, we must take care of them."
Mike looked coldly at Lin Beichen, shouting in dissatisfaction.
"Sweetheart, don't be angry. I'll take you to dinner tonight to cheer you up."
Mike said, placing a hotel room key in the student council girl's hand.
The key in others' eyes shimmered like gold.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
This was a suite key to the most prestigious hotel in the Imperial Capital. A night costs tens of thousands.
This Mike's financial prowess was indeed terrifying.
The student council girl, at this moment, was trembling with excitement.
If it weren't for the public setting, she might even kneel and sing praises to Mike.
How many people could afford a night at a hotel costing tens of thousands?
Without getting involved with Mike, she probably would never have a chance to visit this hotel, let alone stay for a night.
The student council girl pocketed the key, raised her neck like a swan, and looked at Lin Beichen with contempt.
"Lin Beichen, stop being envious and jealous. You'll never afford a hotel like this all your life! You'll never have a girlfriend as pretty as me. You should go work more jobs instead!
I heard you always skip class, sometimes for days and months. Your family must be struggling, working part-time to earn tuition and living expenses, right?"
"Part-time work?"
Mike was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, their eyes falling on Lin Beichen, filled with peculiar expressions.
Sympathy!
Pity!
Mockery!
The so-called genius turned out to be a poor soul who needed to work part-time?
In this era, what's the use of talent?
In a time where poverty is ridiculed and wealth is revered, only money matters!
Lin Beichen felt helpless.
He skipped class because he'd already learned everything, and he knew more than the professors in the classroom.
Additionally, some tasks were too complex; when he went out to execute them, they had to be kept secret, not letting anyone know.
How could these people's minds be so twisted?
He's just skipping class, and they conjured up a whole drama?
Mike patted the student council girl's butt, and she instantly wrapped her arms around Mike, heading towards the campus.
People along the way stepped aside.
Mike looked more like he was inspecting his kingdom than visiting a school.
Students were no longer the innocent youngsters they once were.
"Interesting."
Lin Beichen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled.
"Lin Beichen, don't be too upset. Some things are just beyond comparison."
A classmate approached, feeling a bit of pity.
In this world, things are always unfair.
Some people, with endless talent, yet due to poor birth, no matter how hard they strive, can't reach the high starting line of those born well!
And some, foolish as pigs, just because they were born into a good family, can enjoy all the worldly riches.
"Lin, are you alright?"
A girl wearing glasses walked over, asking worriedly.
Everyone sighed softly.
Today's blow was really too much for Lin Beichen.
If it were them here, they wouldn't be able to handle it either.
"I heard Mr. Mike invested eight hundred million to secure the cooperation rights for a medical project."
Someone in the crowd muttered.
"You're called Mike, right!"
Lin Beichen suddenly shouted.
His voice penetrated through the crowd, echoing across the university pathway.
Everyone was surprised.
Mike, amidst the crowd in front, paused and turned to look at Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen pointed to the banner at the school gate.
"That banner is quite interesting."
Interesting?
What's interesting?
Everyone was a bit confused.
"Are you crazy? That's a red banner welcoming Mr. Mike's donation. What's it got to do with you?"
The student council girl cursed, holding Mike, wanting to enter the school gate.
But the next moment, Lin Beichen pulled out a card and said something that made her freeze completely.
Lin Beichen held up his mobile phone, casually giving the card to the reception supervisor.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen's call was connected, and he pressed the speaker.
"Mr. Lin, I am your 24-hour private banking butler. How may I assist you?"
The voice over the phone was extremely gentle, resounding above everyone's heads.
Lin Beichen looked calmly at the people in the distance and said:
"Please donate fifty billion to Imperial Capital University's charity department for me, and ask them to replace the banner at the school gate."
"Alright, I'll handle it right away."
In an instant, the entire scene fell silent.
