C106 After Class Come to My Office for a Chat

With a roar, the Pagani Huayran shot out like a swift arrow.

Normally, the drive from Soundwave Courtyard to Jiangyang University takes half an hour.

However, Lin Dong was behind the wheel of a Pagani Huayran, renowned for its blistering speed. Cars along the way made way, allowing him to breeze through the traffic.

He made it to his destination in just over ten minutes.

After parking, Lin Dong headed for his classroom.

It seemed likely that Zhang Xinrui was out for revenge, probably because of Lin Dong exposing Lee Mingshan's shady behavior.

She certainly held a grudge!

Lin Dong felt a twinge of resignation, but he wasn't worried. With a net worth in the billions, an inheritance worth thirty billion, and assets that most could only dream of, even the university president, Zhang Hongwen, treated him with great respect.

And even if the rumors were true, that Zhang Xinrui was Zhang Hongwen's only daughter, Lin Dong wasn't intimidated.

Could she really be more formidable than his own father?

Reassuring himself along the way, Lin Dong continued towards the classroom.

"Liu Wenming! Are you a pig? Why can't you handle such a simple sentence? Do you even understand subject-verb-object? How on earth did you get into Jiangyang University?"

Inside the classroom, Zhang Xinrui was berating someone.

Through the window, Liu Wenming could be seen, head bowed in embarrassment, receiving a scolding as if he were a misbehaving child.

Tian Chao and Zhou Hengyu were absent.

The former was in the hospital, and the latter was taking care of him, so neither could attend.

Zhang Xinrui was visibly irate, and it wasn't the right time for a confrontation.

Lin Dong peered in from the back door, planning to slip into the classroom unnoticed.

"Stop right there!"

A crisp voice called out.

Lin Dong turned to see Zhang Xinrui eyeing him sternly.

"Lin Dong, you arrive late, don't even bother to report, and just waltz into class. Do you think you can just ignore my authority?" she challenged, her voice laced with barbs.

Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

Zhang Xinrui's keen eyes had caught his subtle attempt to sneak in.

Ma Chenchen looked at Lin Dong with concern, whispering something under her breath, but Lin Dong couldn't quite catch what she said.

Straightening his back, Lin Dong turned to Zhang Xinrui and apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zhang. I was held up by something, so I've only just arrived."

"What could possibly be more important than class? Chasing girls? Playing video games?"

"Do you think you're a billionaire?"

"Billionaires are born with the means to live lavishly. You're just an ordinary student; you can't compete with them!"

"The only path for you is to learn, to better yourself, so you can land a good job after graduation. Do you understand?"

"Or perhaps you already know it all. Why don't you come up here and teach us today's lesson?"

Zhang Xinrui rattled on like a machine gun, delivering a lecture.

Lin Dong was at a loss for words.

He couldn't very well yell out, "I am a billionaire, and billionaires don't need to scheme!"

That would be utterly foolish!

Liu Wenming finally caught his breath, shooting Lin Dong a look of gratitude. With Lin Dong's arrival, he was no longer the one being singled out.

Fortunately, Zhang Xinrui stopped her tirade.

Because class had ended.

"Lin Dong, come to my office. We need to talk," Zhang Xinrui commanded before striding away.

Lin Dong followed her, albeit reluctantly. It looked like Zhang Meili wasn't inclined to let him off the hook. But if it was a choice between a chop on the neck whether he stretched it out or not, what was there to fear?

As Lin Dong passed the classroom, he was met with sympathetic glances from his classmates.

Liu Wenming whispered, "Stay strong, brother! I've got your back!"

Lin Dong responded with a middle finger.

Ma Chenchen opened her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately, she remained silent.

At this point, no one could help Lin Dong.

Yet Lin Dong remained cool and collected as he followed Zhang Xinrui. His gaze lingered on her retreating figure, his eyes betraying a flicker of something unreadable.
