C18 Director

"He's far too haughty and arrogant. He thinks I'm weak, but is that truly the case?" After finding their conversation amusing, Lin Fan walked out of the office.

King Yama Ma terrorized the weak and was intimidated by the powerful. In the school, the Rich Second Generation was a group he dared not disturb. He was as reverent as a puppy whenever he encountered the rich kids.

In front of regular students, he was arrogant. But to them, he was only an idiot.

He thought Lin Fan was merely an underprivileged student who picked up trash and lacked both money and power. He felt he had complete freedom to terrorize Lin Fan.

King Yama Ma, however, was the real weakling in Lin Fan's eyes. He could threaten Lin Fan all he wanted, and the latter would not care.

Lin Fan was wrong to skip class in reality. He could escape this issue if only he complied with King Yama Ma's request and gave him three thousand dollars.

But a weakling dared to intimidate him. Lin Fan couldn't give in that fast. To exact retribution, Lin Fan would personally address the issue.

He headed straight to the principal's office.

Principal Fong was sitting in his office chair, reading a document with the door slightly ajar.

As Lin fan entered, he greeted the student and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"I've heard that the school board has an open seat this year, Principal Fong."

Western University's organizational structure was followed by Mingzhou University. The professors ran the school on a day-to-day basis, and the board of directors was in charge of managing the school's finances.

The board members were not predetermined, and their seats depended on the amount they would donate.

"That's true. Are you...?" Lin Fan's query and sudden interest surprised Principal Fong.

The boy who abruptly walked into the office seemed like a regular student. Who could have predicted that the moment he spoke, he would ask about the school's board of directors? Principal Fong had no idea what Lin Fan was referring to.

"I am willing to donate money to the school. How much money is needed for me to become the chief director?"

"What?"

Lin Fan's unexpected statements astounded Principal Fong. What was going on with this individual's mind? He wanted to donate money to the school. Was he intoxicated, or did he take the wrong medication?

Principal Fong cleared his throat and said, "Is there anything that's unclear to you? It doesn't matter if you give tens or hundreds of dollars to the board of directors."

Principal Fong obviously didn't take Lin Fan seriously at all. In his opinion, he was just a poor student who had come here to make a fool of himself.

Principal Fong's demeanor was obvious to Lin Fan, who went straight to the point. "One million dollars."

Principal Fong spat out some black tea.

He asked incredulously, "How much did you say? One million?"

"Isn't that enough? Lin Fan asked, frowning. "Then I'll add a million dollars more."

"Are you kidding me? You don't appear to be someone who would casually take out two million based on your outfit."

Shaking his head, Lin Fan replied, "I never make light of money. To me, two million is nothing. Just give me your account number if you don't think I'm telling the truth. I'll arrange for the money to be transferred to you immediately."

Principal Fong looked serious. He thought for a moment and then responded, "All right, I hope you are not duping me. I am the university's principal, as you must know. I am not the type of person who is easily deceived."

He then gave Lin Fan the school's donation account details after he finished speaking.

Lin Fan immediately took out his phone. He didn't need to bother Lin Huasheng with this kind of minor trouble because he could do it with his allowance.

"Okay, you may have a look."

Principal Fong skeptically logged into the school donation site on his computer. There was actually a credited amount of two million on it, and it was just transferred.

Principal Fong took a deep breath of cold air and admitted to himself that he had made a mistake.

He had no idea that this person, who looked like a regular impoverished student and dressed like one, would actually donate that much to the school.

"You need to donate an additional one million if you want to be the head of the school board of directors." Principal Fong spoke a little awkwardly.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Lin Fan gladly transferred another one million.

Principal Fong's pulse raced faster. Three million dollars! Since the founding of Mingzhou University, this was the greatest contribution he had ever received.

Lin Fan was instantly elected chairman of the school's board of directors after donating three million dollars.

"Where were you, Secretary Zhang? Give this to this student as soon as possible. Oh, wait. You're making tea for the new chief director! Please use my prized Longjing Tea."

Principal Fong's perspective on Lin Fan at this very moment had significantly changed.

"Director, please take a seat. I'm not sure how I should address you. Which family do you belong to?"

Principal Fong knew that even though the student in front of him was dressed in plain clothing, he didn't have to meet his family. Three million dollars were very simple for him to withdraw. He undoubtedly came from a remarkable family.

Also, he was dressed simply, which meant he was maintaining a low profile. Even the Rich Second Generation students, who were often spotted on the streets, could not be considered on the same level as him.

"I'm Lin Fan."

"Nice name! It sounds remarkable, Young Master Lin," Principal Fong said.

Lin Fan was too lazy to waste time with him. He sipped his tea and said, "I won't give you that much for free. I have a request to ask you."

"I figured that ought to be the situation. As of right now, you are the chairman of the school's board of directors. You are certainly allowed to make a request." Principal Fong quickly nodded his head.

"First of all, I won't meddle with the chairman's everyday business. Please don't ever bother me. I'll arrange for someone to speak on my behalf."

"Second, fire Ma Yande immediately. I don't have to explain myself, so don't bother asking me later."

"I'm still a student, and my regular activities shouldn't be disturbed."

"Lastly, please delete my record of prior absences. Even if I skip classes in the future, don't mind me. Most importantly, don't fail my exams."

"Can you meet these requirements?"

"Those are all little concerns," Principal Fong tapped his breast and promised. "There won't be a problem moving forward."

The chief director was someone else, yet Principal Fong didn't care what Lin Fan did or wanted to do.

Even less of a problem was firing Ma Yande.

How could he dare defy the principal when he was only a department head? He had to leave immediately if Lin Fan ordered him to. It was best for him to survive if he dared to provoke Young Master Lin.

Also, it went without saying that having a department head and three million dollars in donations was of greater importance.

"Okay, I'll say what has to be said and take the necessary action. I won't be disturbing you anymore. I sincerely hope you can follow my instructions as soon as possible." Lin Fan then stood up.

"I'll take care of your request as quickly as I can, without a doubt. Let me send you off."

Lin Fan nodded. His only main goal was to get rid of Ma Yande quickly. There was no need for him to stay here now that he had accomplished his objective.

Principal Fong accompanied Lin Fan out of the office and followed closely behind him.

Seeing Lin Fan walk away, Principal Fong yelled to his secretary, "Zhang, find Ma Yande's personnel files and fire him as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir. I'll get to it now."

Principal Fong gave it another thought before proceeding.

He added, "The student who just left is Lin Fan. Please pass me his file. I'm curious about his family background."

Lin Fan was so generous today that Principal Fong couldn't believe it. He never thought such a powerful man was studying at his school.

Principal Fong saw Lin Fan as a god. However, in front of him, he was unimportant, and Lin Fan could kill him if he didn't pay enough attention.
