CHAPTER 972: CHAPTER 970: DUMBASS

Except for Shimen, the winds of opinion elsewhere are overwhelmingly one-sided.

Emperor Electric University.

"This bastard! Has his brain cramped up again?! Just burning money for no reason! Hasn’t he already started a school?! He could just expand it! Makes perfect sense, and everyone would support it!" Principal Li angrily grabbed at his hair.

"Principal! Some people are still causing trouble, what should we do?!" shouted a teacher.

"What can I do?! Even though I’m showing off Lu Xiaobu, I’m not his father! Even his father can’t control him!" Principal Li shouted in anger.

Principal Li really had no solution!

Lu Xiaobu’s educational reform ended up pushing Emperor Electric and him to the forefront of controversy!

Many uninformed people actually said he was supporting Lu Xiaobu from behind!

They come here to cause trouble every day!

Isn’t this insane?!

When has he, as principal, ever been able to control Lu Xiaobu?!

"Would you like to take the call from the principal of Qinghua University?" another teacher cautiously asked.

"Take my ass! Tell them to get lost!" Principal Li said irritably.

He found that the closer he got to Lu Xiaobu, his brashness also started to show!

Now he’s even been yelling at the Qinghua University principal over the phone!

But, don’t mention it, it’s actually quite satisfying!

Ahem! No, no, this isn’t the time to talk about it!

...

A small circle of mentors from The Voice of Heavenly Dynasty.

Grandma Jia Yi: "Little Sun, Little Chen, Little Li, have you been in contact with Xiaobu?! What’s going on? Why make such an unwise choice?!"

Sun Wanqi: "What’s up? I’ve been abroad recently, haven’t been paying attention."

Chen Wen smiled wryly: "I do know what’s going on! Young Master Bu voluntarily spends four billion a year subsidizing teachers’ salaries at Shimen!"

Sun Wanqi’s mouth twitched: "Is he stupid? As a businessman, doesn’t he understand the principle of not fearing scarcity but inequality?!"

Chen Wen helplessly: "I made a call, and Young Master Bu asked if I was overeating! Ugh!"

Sun Wanqi was troubled: "I’ll call and ask later!"

Grandma Jia Yi: "Yes, Little Sun, ask properly. If it’s a moment of impulse, let’s all explain it together!"

Chen Wen wryly smiled: "It’s been over a month, how could it be just a moment’s impulse, sigh!"

...

The biggest commotion is online!

Parents, teachers, all walks of life, everyone is stirring things up, making it chaotic!

"Think money is so great! Show off!"

"Exactly! Sounds impressive, but isn’t it just for fame?!"

"If he’s really trying to improve the educational environment, why not do it across the whole country?!"

"What?! Shimen teachers are teachers, but teachers from other places aren’t?! As if we don’t use Lu Group’s products too!"

"This is just looking down on people!"

"Do those teachers really deserve that much extra money a month?! Look at the results over recent years! What’s that all about?!"

"Dammit! It’s really too much! Seeing those people flaunting online makes me angry!"

"Who says so! I know someone who teaches in Shimen, no matter how you look at it, they’re far worse than me! But yet they make three thousand more than me a month! Really!"

"And also! Recently, many parents are clamoring to transfer their kids to study in Shimen, what’s that about?!"

"If Lu Xiaobu is so capable, why not take all students away?! Let’s see if you can handle it!"

"This approach looks charitable, but in reality, it’s rubbish! It doesn’t have any substantial effect!"

"Just a few days ago, parents came to me complaining, saying why don’t Shimen students need extra classes! Damn! Why don’t they ask about the Shimen teachers getting subsidies?!"

"They don’t care about that! Typical greedy bastards!"

"Forget it, don’t want to talk about it! Seeing these news stories daily, I don’t even want to be a teacher anymore!"

"Me too! We’re all teachers, why such a big gap?!"

"Can’t understand! Really can’t understand!"

"..."

The situation is getting bigger and bigger online.

Eventually, more well-known people stood up to openly resist Lu Xiaobu!

Educational scholars: "On the surface, it looks like a charitable act to improve the educational environment, but in the long run, it’s regional protectionism, a monopolistic behavior! It’s causing adverse effects!"

Economists: "This isn’t just an issue in education, it’s also an economic issue! I seriously suspect that Lu Xiaobu’s actions might damage the existing economic structure!"

Psychologists: "This will create a huge competitive mentality among students, everyone envies Shimen’s schools, teachers and students all want to go to Shimen, so what about other provinces and cities?!"

Sociologists: "This is a lever prying at the current society, it should be sternly resisted!"

"..."

These so-called experts and professors analyzed all kinds of aspects and angles, going on and on.

Talking about affecting social stability, affecting students’ psychology, affecting the economy!

Making it seem as if Lu Xiaobu’s actions are akin to those of a terrorist.

The issue is getting bigger!

"It’s really that scary?!"

"I knew it! I sensed something was off! Lu Xiaobu is tormenting Japan and now returning to torment us!"

"Too much! Lu Xiaobu, what’s your intent?!"

"Resist Lu Xiaobu! Make Lu Xiaobu give it up!"

"Too scary! The entire society is being affected!"

"..."

Online, the stories get more exaggerated, with conspiracy theories and hypotheses popping up!

Quoting classics, sounding very convincing.

Talking about economic crises, bubble bursts, and destroying everything at the root!

It sounds so unreasonable, you could as well read it like a ghost story.

Finally!

After taking a bath, Lu Xiaobu lay on Liang Lan’s lap and started posting on Weibo.

"Let me tell you a story!" Lu Xiaobu leisurely posted on Weibo.

Suddenly, all attention was focused on him!

"Telling a story?!"

"Lu Xiaobu, at a time like this, you’re still telling stories?! Quickly explain your actions!"

"I tell you, this is a crime! A crime, understand?!"

"Lu Xiaobu, if you don’t repent, we’ll report you!"

"..."

Lu Xiaobu ignored them and continued telling his story.

"To increase my knowledge, I joined a group of doctors."

"I saw someone ask a question: Would a drop of water, free-falling from a great height, hurt or kill someone if it hit them?"

"The group instantly became lively, discussing various formulas, assumptions, resistance, gravity, and acceleration for nearly an hour."

"Then, I quietly asked: Haven’t you ever been caught in the rain???"

"The group suddenly fell silent as if dead..."

"In the end, I was kicked out of the group."

Everyone was bewildered after reading the story. They knew it must relate to the current situation, but this was clearly a joke about dumb doctors, so how was it connected to what’s happening now?!
