CHAPTER 617: CHAPTER 617: LIN FAN BECAME A NEGATIVE EXAMPLE

Principal Zhao wished he could just smash his head against a block of tofu and die; it was too humiliating, too embarrassing. In the end, Lin Fan’s identity was exposed.

When they heard that Lin Fan was delivering food, everyone present fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward. A student who graduated from Tianhai Middle School and even got into college ended up being a delivery man.

"Hahaha..."

Lai Xiaoming was the first to burst into laughter, holding his stomach as he laughed.

"What? He’s a delivery guy? I knew it. Just look at his outfit, it screams he’s a poor loser. A delivery guy dare to act tough with me?" Lai Xiaoming laughed, his laughter full of disdain.

Earlier, he and Lin Fan had a conflict. Lin Fan actually dared to go against him, Lin Fan drove a Xia Li, daring to challenge him and his Audi instead of lowering his head.

At that time, Lai Xiaoming was very unhappy and decided to find an opportunity to teach this poor guy a lesson.

Now the opportunity finally came.

Lin Fan’s identity was exposed as a delivery man, and as a graduate of Tianhai Middle School, it was so embarrassing. Naturally, he had to step on Lin Fan hard.

"A delivery man? Really, do we have graduates from our school who actually deliver food?"

"For a century-old prestigious school, cultivating so many excellent talents, and yet it produced a delivery man?"

"So embarrassing, isn’t he a failure?"

"His outfit speaks for itself, so poor!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussions.

Lai Xiaomei was also surprised, looking incredulous, saying: "Lin Fan, are you delivering food?"

No wonder, Lin Fan dressed like this and drove a Xia Li. Delivering food isn’t exactly a decent job. Although it’s said that delivery can earn quite a bit, a diligent delivery man can make more than ten thousand a month, but Lin Fan’s from a rural background. Even if he made over ten thousand a month, after family expenses, there probably wouldn’t be much left.

No wonder he could only afford a Xia Li.

In short, one word: poor.

Four words: lower social class.

Previously, when she didn’t recognize Lin Fan, even though she thought he looked familiar, she didn’t plan to reconnect with him because she didn’t see the need.

Now that she knew Lin Fan was a delivery man, she felt even more so.

Meng Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes, then he smiled and said: "So Junior Lin is a delivery guy, huh? Generally speaking, delivery is a legitimate profession. There’s no hierarchy in professions, but there are different levels of entry barriers. It’s like some professions aren’t for just anyone, like a programmer. If you haven’t studied programming, you can’t do it. Or a scientist, if you don’t have professional knowledge, you can’t work in that field. That’s the barrier. But some jobs have very low entry barriers, like a mover, as long as you have strength, anyone can do it, even someone who’s illiterate. And likewise, being a delivery man has a low barrier. Someone with just a middle school education can do it, even a primary school graduate can. Junior Lin, you are at least a college graduate, why take a job with such a low barrier? Isn’t it because you couldn’t manage other jobs? No reason, right, as a college graduate, there are many high-barrier jobs you could choose. Sorry, I don’t mean to look down on delivery men, I’m just curious."

Everyone was looking at Lin Fan, waiting for an answer.

Now, they all had a bit of a sense of watching a joke, since Lin Fan was just a delivery man. In front of Lin Fan, everyone suddenly had a sense of superiority, as if they were looking down at Lin Fan from above.

No one expected that this centennial school celebration would turn into a trial of Lin Fan.

An unsuccessful alumnus began to undergo a soul-searching interrogation.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, saying nothing. He knew what the situation was now. In everyone’s eyes, he was undoubtedly a failure. And naturally, a failure had to become a negative example, to be criticized.

But Lin Fan wasn’t interested in getting involved in this.

Liu Qiang chuckled and said: "Do we even need to ask? As Senior Brother Meng said, we all need to study hard, strive upward every day, and become outstanding talents. But Lin Fan graduated from college and went out to deliver food, simply because he wasn’t hardworking enough. I bet he was the kind of student in college who did nothing all day, idled around, with poor grades, and couldn’t find a good job after graduation. Without diligence in college, with no remarkable talents, no company would hire him. If he can’t get into a good company, doesn’t make money, he can only do low-barrier jobs like delivering food or packages! Lin Fan, am I right?"

The crowd nodded one after another.

"Seems like that’s the case."

"This Lin Fan senior isn’t hardworking!"

"We can’t be like him, seems like we really need to study hard in the future."

"Even if we get into college later on, we can’t be slackers."

Meng Xiaoming nodded and said: "Junior Brother Liu Qiang’s analysis is quite reasonable, seems like that’s the situation. As far as I know, many students after getting into college think there’s no need to work hard anymore, just play games all day. As a result, after four years of college, they learn nothing but get a degree. But companies aren’t just looking at credentials, they want talents too, meaning work ability. If you lack work ability, even a degree is useless. Junior Lin should be in this situation, just getting a degree without work capability, so no company would want him. I can assert now that Junior Lin is indeed a negative example of what I’ve been talking about today. We must work hard to become useful talents in the future, and Junior Lin is an example of not working hard. If you don’t work hard today, tomorrow you’ll end up like Junior Lin, delivering food. You could say college was a waste!"

Principal Zhao led the applause.

Suddenly, applause filled the room!

Principal Zhao finally found a way to resolve the embarrassment, and that was to make Lin Fan a negative example, seizing the opportunity to instill the concept of diligent studying in the students.

This way, no one would pay attention to the embarrassment.

"As the principal, I agree very much with what Xiaoming just said. Indeed, we must study hard and never slack off. High school is just one stage. In college, you still have to keep working hard, shouldn’t relax. As for Lin Fan’s situation in high school, I’m not sure, but since he was able to get into college, it means he did well in high school. It’s just after going to college, he obviously slacked off, leading to unsatisfactory academic performance and insufficient professional capability, so couldn’t find an ideal job after graduation."

"I hope all students can take Lin Fan as a lesson, don’t make the same mistake. Even after getting into college, focus on developing your professional skills, so when you get out, you can find a good job. As Xiaoming said, high-barrier jobs, not low-barrier ones even primary school graduates can do."

The students nodded one after another.

"Hmm, we can’t be as shameful as Lin Fan!"

Everyone had this thought.

At this moment, a government vehicle stopped at the school gate, Mayor Long got off the car with the company of his secretary, ready to enter the school.
