46 Meeting an Acquaintance (1/2)
As everyone was giving their congratulations to Ling Feilong, the person, himself, had his eyes swept over to a corner of the room, the corner where Shi Feng sat. His eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction when he looked at Shi Feng.
He was the pride of the class and, even more so, a future celebrity. Yet, an inferior student like Shi Feng actually did not intend to flatter him?
After a round of flattery, Ling Feilong allowed the students to return to their seats.
“I thank everyone for your support. Please quiet down for a moment. I am here today because I have a matter that I wish to discuss,” Ling Feilong said.
Hearing Ling Feilong’s announcement, everyone listened attentively. Only Shi Feng remained uninterested towards Ling Feilong's matter.
However, Shi Feng could not help but pay attention after hearing Ling Feilong speak.
“It's something related to the school’s recommendation.” Ling Feilong calmly said, “Everyone knows how I am obsessed with fighting. However, my grades at school aren't that good, so it has caused some problems with my recommendation. So, I wish for someone here to give up a spot. The school has already agreed to this; so I am here to discuss this matter with everyone else.”
“Brother Long, this is only a trivial matter. It is only a recommendation. As the pride of the class, as long as Brother Long requests it, there will definitely be someone in the class willing to give up their spot,” a bootlicking male student said.
Although everyone in the class agreed to this person's words, there was nobody who willingly stood up to give away their recommendation.
In the end, finding a job was just too hard. The recommendation was much more valued than a person's educational background when working inside a big company. If they were to give up their recommendation, what would they do in the future?
As for the ones who had no rights to the recommendation, to begin with, naturally, it was easier to be brave standing from a safe distance. They continuously incited the others like hot-blooded mad-men.
Ling Feilong's expression slightly darkened when he saw nobody taking initiative.
“Since everyone is reacting so proactively, it won’t be good if I’m the one who does the choosing. How about this, let’s raise our hands and vote,” Ling Feilong suggested with a smile.
“That’s a good idea! Brother Feilong is the smartest!”
“Then let’s start voting!”
The hot-blooded mad-men all stood up one after another, their faces holding expressions of delight, delight at the misfortune of others.
Shi Feng, who sat by the wall, was suddenly enlightened after looking at this scene.
Crap! So it was these bastards who stole my recommendation!
A wrathful flame ignited within Shi Feng’s heart. He was truly a fool in his previous life for actually working with Ling Feilong. Not in this life, however. If Ling Feilong wished to cause trouble for him in this life, he couldn’t be blamed for reacting in kind.
Maybe it was a continuation of his previous life, but the voting results did not change in the slightest. The students immediately sat Shi Feng on the ‘throne.'
“Fellow student Shi Feng, you are really lucky! I’m slightly envious of you!”
“You’ll get to have Brother Long cover for you from now on; you should be grateful to us.”
Everyone in the class started congratulating Shi Feng as if Shi Feng had just won a five million Credit lottery.
“Fellow student, Shi Feng, thank you, truly. After school is over today, I invite you to come with me for a drink at the Maple Leaf Bar,” Ling Feilong smiled a hypocritical smile. He did not place Shi Feng within his sights at all. There was not a hint of gratitude in his tone, only disdain. Following which, he turned to look at the other students, saying, “Of course, everyone else is also invited. Let us enjoy ourselves today.”
“Hold on a moment,” Shi Feng suddenly said.
Suddenly, everyone in the class turned their sights towards Shi Feng. If Shi Feng did not actively speak up, they might have long since forgotten about his existence.
