Chapter 279 We’re All In
"You over there, did you hear what I said? This is an office space, so all of you get out immediately! What are you still standing around for, get out! Do I need to call your department head before you’ll leave? Did you hear me? Hurry up and carry this person out!" Zhao Jian’s tone became harsh as he thought this, no longer as calm as when he had begun speaking; his words were filled with reproof. He didn’t understand what was wrong with these students—how could they not listen to him, a department chief, and only have eyes for Lin Feng, treating everyone else as mere decorations? How could he possibly swallow this affront?
When the students from the Taekwondo Association heard what Zhao Jian had said, they also grew angry. They thought to themselves how annoying this person was. Right now, nothing was more important than finding Teacher Lin to save someone. He was incessantly driving the students out—that could endanger Xiao Li! Presently, in the whole school, only Teacher Lin was a master of such high caliber, and only Teacher Lin could possibly treat Xiao Li’s injuries. Seeking Teacher Lin’s aid was more pressing than anything else, for this was a matter of life and death. Thinking this, all the students from the Taekwondo Association continued to plead with Teacher Lin, but each of them gave Zhao Jian a scornful glance, finding him incredibly irritating.
"Did everyone hear me? This is the General Affairs Office, not a clinic. What are you still doing here? Carry the person and get out quickly! Otherwise..." Zhao Jian, seeing that the students were giving him disdainful looks, was so infuriated he nearly jumped up. Now these students were getting out of hand, even daring to roll their eyes at him; it was unbearable. He raised his voice inside the office, furiously scolding the students! He couldn’t believe he couldn’t control these students!
"Shut up!" Lin Feng replied coldly. He found Zhao Jian particularly annoying right now. With Xiao Li injured like this, the students were understandably tense; what was the point of Zhao Jian’s incessant and meaningless quibbling and loudly berating students who were concerned about their peer? He had no empathy and was still intent on driving everyone out in such a situation, not even thinking what might be going through his head.
"You..." Zhao Jian pointed at Lin Feng, too infuriated to know what to do. He had just been reprimanding the students when Lin Feng suddenly retorted with a "shut up" that startled him and made him forget what he was about to say. He looked at Lin Feng incredulously, unable to believe he would speak to him like this in front of so many people. Lin Feng was showing contempt for his authority as a chief! He was overtly slapping his face! It was...
Zhao Jian’s pointing hand trembled with rage. He lamented his bad luck for having to deal with Lin Feng, a subordinate who had no respect for leadership. From the moment Lin Feng had arrived in the General Affairs Office, he’d hardly paid Zhao Jian any respect, constantly confronting him. Without properly putting Lin Feng in his place, how could he stomach this? He thought, "A tiger that does not show its might is mistaken for a sick cat!"
"You don’t need to stay in the office either. Go and do the tasks I’ve assigned right now. If you can’t finish them today, I won’t be Zhao Jian if I don’t expel you from Yingbo University!" At this point, Zhao Jian had been driven to the brink of insanity by Lin Feng. Any leader who had to deal with a subordinate like Lin Feng would surely go mad. Such an insolent subordinate who had no respect for authority could only be Lin Feng. How he even ended up at Yingbo University was beyond him. Regardless, without properly dealing with Lin Feng, the man would never learn his place!
"Work? What work? Whatever tasks Teacher Lin has, we students will take care of it. Teacher Lin doesn’t need to worry about anything, just as long as he can save Xiao Li quickly!" Liu Wentao exploded upon hearing Zhao Jian’s words. It was such a critical time, yet Zhao Jian still wanted Teacher Lin to go out and work, but what about Xiao Li? He didn’t care about Xiao Li’s injuries at all, and his words were so unpleasant. But if it was just work, with so many students here, helping Teacher Lin with a task would be a breeze!
"We’ll take care of Teacher Lin’s work. Just tell us what needs to be done; we have plenty of people!" Yang Guang shook his head at Zhao Jian, pondering the vast difference between people. Without a word from Teacher Lin, Zhao Jian was insistent on driving everyone out. Didn’t he see people were begging Teacher Lin to save someone? Now he was speaking to Teacher Lin like that—as if he was deliberately trying to make Teacher Lin leave and not let him treat Xiao Li.
In a situation like this, talking about whether or not to work was pointless.
"Exactly, no more nonsense. Just tell us what Teacher Lin’s work is—we’ll take care of it. Let Teacher Lin save someone!"
"Hurry up, we have a lot of people; work is not a problem!"
"How can we let Teacher Lin work at a time like this? We’ll do it!"
...
Bursting with anxiety and frustration, the crowd reacted vehemently to Zhao Jian’s remarks. How could they let Teacher Lin go off to work now? After Liu Wentao and Yang Guang spoke up, several tall guys crowded around Zhao Jian, menacing him as though they would devour him alive!
Zhao Jian himself was startled by these burly students. He was only trying to send Lin Feng off to work and hadn’t expected it to provoke such a strong reaction from the students, who now surrounded him. But then, a realization came to Zhao Jian; these tall guys had fierce tempers, and he knew what young people their age could be like. If he misspoke and displeased them, and they physically lashed out at him, he would be the unlucky one. No aggravation with Lin Feng was worth an altercation with these students!
These youngsters could be so impetuous in their actions.
"His task is to clean the entire Labor Lake on campus. The sanitation of the whole Labor Lake must be finished today." Zhao Jian was utterly dejected. Under the intimidation of the students, he was forced to relent. Otherwise, he risked an unpleasant encounter with them, which would only make his situation worse. Sigh, what a day it had been—nothing had gone smoothly since the start of the school year.
"Alright, we got it. Everyone, go back and call for help to do Teacher Lin’s work. No matter what, we have to finish it today!" Upon hearing the specifics of the work from Zhao Jian, Liu Wentao couldn’t help but feel angry. Clearly, Zhao Jian was just making things difficult for Teacher Lin. Labor Lake was so large, one person couldn’t possibly clean it in a day, not to mention a week! But there were so many students on their side, this task was no problem. With that thought, he hurriedly urged the students to go back and recruit people for the job.
"We only need four people to stay; the rest should go back to work," Yang Guang casually picked four people and, just like Liu Wentao, sent the others away. They were of little use standing around, it was more important for them to go back and finish Teacher Lin’s work.
"Then we’ll all leave."
"We’re going back to work."
"Let us know immediately if there’s any news!"
...
Hearing Liu Wentao’s words, the other students also realized he was right. It was more practical to help with Teacher Lin’s work than to stand around uselessly. They thought it was most important to let Teacher Lin focus on treating Xiao Li. With that in mind, they greeted Liu Wentao and Yang Guang and then gradually began to call people out to work.
"Yang Guang, you guys carry him to the infirmary; I’ll take a look at him," Lin Feng saw that the students had taken over his responsibilities, and if he didn’t intervene now, it really wouldn’t be right. With this thought, he quickly instructed them to carry the person to the infirmary since there was no examination bed in the office, which was very inconvenient.
Truth be told, even if the students hadn’t behaved this way, Lin Feng would not have ignored the situation. It was just that Zhao Jian was being annoyingly nagging at the side. This time, there was no need for Lin Feng to say anything, and since things were already set in motion, Lin Feng didn’t bother with him anymore.
"Ah! Yes, yes! We’ll take care of it!" Liu Wentao heard Lin Feng agree and couldn’t believe his ears. He pinched himself hard before realizing that Teacher Lin was serious. He almost jumped for joy, never expecting that a sudden idea of his had actually worked. Teacher Lin could really save Xiao Li; Xiao Li could be saved!
Ah! No, that’s not right. He had been so anxious before that he hadn’t considered whether a master like Teacher Lin would necessarily know medical skills. All he had thought was that Teacher Lin, being a master, must be able to save Xiao Li. Liu Wentao had never considered whether Teacher Lin knew medical techniques, and he couldn’t believe that a sudden idea had actually led to Xiao Li being saved and the other students learning that Teacher Lin also knew medical skills.
If Teacher Lin didn’t know medical techniques, he wouldn’t have agreed to treat Xiao Li. It never occurred to him that Teacher Lin really had such knowledge. Teacher Lin was only about their age, a French teacher, a super master, and now also skilled in medicine...how could he be so incredibly capable...
"What are you standing around for? Quickly carry Xiao Li to the infirmary!" Yang Guang was overjoyed to hear Lin Feng agree and immediately had the few remaining people carry Xiao Li to the infirmary. But right after organizing everyone, Yang Guang himself realized something—Teacher Lin was a French teacher, and although he was a super master, it didn’t necessarily mean he knew how to save people with medical skills. They had all thought only of Teacher Lin’s mastery and that it would be enough to save Xiao Li, forgetting to question whether Teacher Lin had any medical expertise at all.
What did Teacher Lin just say?
Does Teacher Lin have medical skills?
Did Teacher Lin agree to intervene?
...
The few remaining students snapped out of their daze when they heard Yang Guang calling them, realizing that Teacher Lin had indeed taken action. But their minds were still muddled. Just moments ago, a large group had carried Xiao Li over without a second thought, believing that since Teacher Lin was a super master, he should be able to save Xiao Li. None had questioned the soundness of this reasoning. But now they finally understood—not everyone skilled in martial arts could save lives, and none of them knew if Teacher Lin was versed in medical techniques. They had brought Xiao Li to Teacher Lin and pressured him into saving a life...
But now that Teacher Lin had personally agreed to see Xiao Li, they all suddenly realized the implication...
