CHAPTER 631: CHAPTER 631: MAGICAL REALITY

Tianhai Middle School.

The centennial celebration was continuing, but after Lin Fan left, Principal Zhao suddenly was absent.

Backstage, Principal Zhao summoned several leaders responsible for the school celebration and was furiously raging!

"You are all useless fools, let me ask you, why did none of you know about our school producing the richest man in Yun City? Do you know how great our loss is today! This wasn’t just missing out on a billion, it was missing out on several billion!"

Principal Zhao was heartbroken.

If he had known earlier, Lin Fan was the richest man in Yun City, he would have personally gone to Yun City to invite Lin Fan back for the centennial celebration and would have offered Lin Fan the highest level of hospitality.

Before the celebration, he had instructed people to investigate past graduates, to find the outstanding ones, and invite them back for the celebration to highlight the excellence of Tianhai Middle School, and these outstanding alumni represent true wealth for the school.

For example, the Vice President of Orange Airlines, Meng Xiaoming, was invited back for the celebration. As a vice president and a wealthy person, naturally, he contributed as a sponsor for this celebration, which was real money.

Additionally, Lai Xiaomei also sponsored with funds.

As for other guests, although they didn’t contribute real money, as prominent figures in their fields, they also brought prestige to the school.

What Principal Zhao valued most, aside from prestige, was real money.

Real money is crucial for the school; with funding, we can buy better teaching facilities, improve the quality of education, increase teachers’ salaries, and provide better education to students. Of course, besides benefiting the public, it also had advantages for Principal Zhao’s personal pocket.

Principal Zhao wished that all the graduates were wealthy individuals.

Now, they missed the wealthiest graduate, and Principal Zhao couldn’t help but feel heartbroken and full of regret!

The leader responsible for investigating graduates ended up missing Lin Fan, could Principal Zhao not be furious!

"Principal, you can’t blame me; Lin... Mr. Lin wasn’t very active in school before. Our investigation starts with academic performance, followed by their school activity level. Like Lai Xiaomei was a top student, very well-known, and was easily found first for her achievements, but Mr. Lin was like a little invisible figure, and he could easily be overlooked."

The leader defended.

Principal Zhao shouted angrily: "Don’t give me excuses; negligence is negligence!"

The leader, looking distressed, said: "Principal, you really can’t blame me. You also saw how low-key Mr. Lin is. For the sake of staying low-key, he even replaced his Rolls-Royce with a Xia Li car. Even if I were to investigate, it may not have been possible to find out he was the richest man in Yun City."

Principal Zhao was frustrated.

"Your negligence, we will discuss later. The most important thing now is how to remedy this situation!" Principal Zhao contemplated.

Everyone nodded, expressing their agreement.

Principal Zhao said, "Everyone, let’s discuss how to remedy this. Mr. Lin is the richest man in Yun City, the wealthiest among our graduates in Tianhai City, and we absolutely must win him back. He is our most outstanding graduate!"

So, they began discussing the matter.

Following a heated discussion, Principal Zhao devised remedial measures.

"Mr. Lin is our most outstanding graduate; we must uncover stories from his school days! That’s the first point!" Principal Zhao said.

Someone said, "It’s just... Mr. Lin seemed quite low-key, practically invisible back then, not much to talk about, right?"

Principal Zhao sternly said: "Nonsense! Mr. Lin has no minor matters; he is not invisible. Remember that. Never say Mr. Lin is invisible again. Go interview his classmates, his homeroom teacher, his subject teachers, have them recall every detail of Mr. Lin’s past, as detailed as possible, then dig out stories and write a biography for Mr. Lin. I want the effect to be that everyone knows Mr. Lin already showed extraordinary talent while studying at Tianhai Middle School, understand! Mr. Lin’s past can’t be simple, got it!" Principal Zhao said passionately.

Everyone nodded, indicating they understood.

Just like in historical novels, you tailor an amazing background for impressive historical figures, like auspicious signs when they were born.

Likewise, Principal Zhao wanted to create an aura of auspiciousness around Lin Fan.

As the wealthiest man in Yun City, Lin Fan’s past at Tianhai Middle School couldn’t be invisible or ordinary!

That’s absolutely impossible!

"Furthermore, we need to heavily promote Mr. Lin’s achievements; the richest man in Yun City should receive due recognition! He is our school’s pride, a living brand! Think about it, the richest man in Yun City graduated from our school, isn’t that something to boast about? In the future, other schools can’t compete with us; who can compare to us having Yun City’s richest man! So, we need to promote it heavily so that the living brand can have the biggest impact, attracting more teacher and student resources, and getting preferential policies from above. All of these are real money!" Principal Zhao said.

Afterward, Principal Zhao returned to the centennial celebration site and announced publicly, "Mr. Lin is the most outstanding graduate, and to commend his achievements and inspire students to learn from him, the school has decided to erect a statue of Mr. Lin for the students to admire!"

The applause thundered.

The students felt that this was what Mr. Lin deserved, and they also wanted to worship Lin Fan’s statue to gain some fortune since Lin Fan was the richest man in Yun City, a billionaire. If they could get a tiny bit of Lin Fan’s luck, it would be incredible.

Thus, in the future, at Tianhai Middle School, students would worship Lin Fan’s statue, whether it be upon enrollment or before exams.

Lin Fan seemed to have become a deity at Tianhai Middle School.

Principal Zhao attempted to flatter Lin Fan with this strategy, making up for the grave mistake today. If he could successfully please Lin Fan, any favor from Lin Fan would make the school rich.

Even if Lin Fan himself never looked back at the school, it wouldn’t matter. Lin Fan being a Tianhai Middle School graduate is a fact that cannot be changed, not affecting Lin Fan becoming a living brand for Tianhai Middle School and bringing various benefits.

Lin Fan never imagined the school would turn him into a legend.

If Lin Fan found out, he would probably sigh.

If he were just a delivery person, the school certainly wouldn’t go to such lengths, but after finding out he’s the richest man in Yun City, they began to create a legend.

This truly is a magical realism!

At this moment, Lin Fan was in Tianhai Affiliated Primary School, and his arrival also brought a scene full of liveliness to this elementary school.
