The Most Random System-Chapter 793 - 390: The Burden on the Education Bureau Suddenly Feels Too Heavy (3)
Principal Wang's eyes lit up.
Not only does it have the Demon Suppression Bureau's signature, but also his own name, indicating the gift is for him. The content of the banner completely praises the role of the principal, so it really is a purely personal gift for him...
The request must have been made by Lin Li, he really put some thought into this.
"Principal Wang, are you satisfied?" Yan Aosong asked.
"I'm unworthy, I'm truly unworthy..." Principal Wang discovered it's quite difficult to restrain the corners of his mouth while sighing.
"As long as you're satisfied, shall we start the photo session and the interview then?" Yan Aosong followed up.
"Of course, we can... No, wait!" Attention on the banner, Principal Wang almost agreed but quickly responded awkwardly:
"Officer Yan, I really don't have the qualifications for this. I'm already unworthy of this banner, if the photo session and interview still focus on me as the main character..."
Listening to the principal's excuses, Yan Aosong was a little unclear why it was like this. Could it be that the principal and teachers of Nansang Middle School truly have such a disdain for fame and fortune?
He originally came because of Lin Li's urging, so Yan Aosong gave Lin Li a look - "Your uncle has no tricks left, you handle it yourself."
Lin Li nodded.
Unlike Yan Aosong, Lin Li understood why the principal and Xue Jian were acting this way.
So solving this problem is actually quite simple.
"Principal." Lin Li spoke up.
"Don't try to persuade me, Lin Li, this really only belongs to you—" Seeing that Yan Aosong had let Lin Li try to persuade him, Principal Wang firmly refused.
Lin Li: "Principal, what I did this time wasn't related to cracking down on pornography."
"—the honor, I can't and won't let you... huh? Wait, what did you say?"
As he continued to speak eloquently, the principal realized what he heard and froze, then widened his eyes to confirm with Lin Li.
"The content I'm being commended for this time isn't related to pornography, nor is it vulgar." Lin Li raised his voice and repeated clearly once more.
Principal Wang remained silent, his eyes just widened.
Then he looked toward Yan Aosong.
And with Lin Li saying so, Yan Aosong roughly guessed where the problem was, so he quickly explained politely:
"Principal Wang, Teacher Xue, there really has been a misunderstanding here. Lin Li indeed helped us a lot in cracking down on pornography, but that's not the reason we are commending him today.
What we're commending today is what I just mentioned, Lin Li's courage and his fight against crime.
Recently, he's helped us catch many thieves and robbery gangs, and stopped a gang fight from occurring. Rest assured, these are actions worthy of being publicly praised!"
Principal Wang's mouth formed an O shape.
Xue Jian was also stunned for a moment, then turned his head to Lin Li in disbelief: "You're the one being talked about? Are you Lin Li?"
Lin Li: "..."
The surprise didn't seem feigned.
"Teacher, you just gave me corporal punishment, now you're insulting my character, can I borrow your phone to call the Education Bureau to arrest you!" Lin Li replied to Xue Jian somewhat hurt.
Principal Wang: "Officer Yan, are you sure you're talking about Lin Li? Can this really be something Lin Li did? Has he helped you with anything other than cracking down on pornography?"
Lin Li sighed.
Education Bureau, when you deal with Xue Jian, please also deal with the principal, thank you.
"Yes, it's true. I understand your disbelief, Lin Li might be unconventional, but what I just said is definitely true." Yan Aosong nodded with a smile.
Question, can the Education Bureau handle Demon Suppression Envoys? Awaiting response online, urgent.
The brief conversation concluded, and the principal's office plunged into an awkward silence.
"..."
Principal: OVO.
"When does the interview start?"
Breaking the silence was Principal Wang, who touched his bald patch joyfully:
"Are we taking the photos here? The background in the principal's office might be too cluttered, how about we take them at the entrance?
"Guys, there's a corridor by the Politics and Education Building with the 'Nansang Middle School' logo and emblem, I think that would make a great background..."
Lin Li gave a thumbs up, maintaining the legitimate face at Nansang.
"Principal, didn't you just say you were indifferent to fame, not interested in things like this?" Lin Li, being cheeky, decided to deliberately sabotage.
"Who said indifferent to fame? Have I ever said that? Your principal, I, have always loved fame and fortune, that's what I pursue!" Principal Wang winked and then laughed aloud.
This self-deprecating way made everyone inside the principal's office laugh, dissipating the initial embarrassment.
Soon, around the principal as the main focus, and Lin Li and Xue Jian as the secondary subjects, the interview and photo session officially commenced.
Even the principal himself felt at times that the roles were reversed; he should be the supporting character, the green leaf, but why were there always more questions directed at him than at Lin Li himself?
Yet Lin Li remained insistent, and when answering, he continually praised the principal, teachers, and school.
For a moment, Principal Wang felt.
Perhaps having Lin Li at Nansang Middle School is a stroke of luck.
As for Xue Jian: I feel like I've seen a ghost.
Who is this person?
Something's wrong, there must be something wrong.
"Lin Li, do you want to use a pseudonym? In this situation, we can omit mentioning the case in the publication, so using your real name is also possible." Midway through the interview, Yan Aosong remembered something and asked.
"Me? I'd prefer a pseudonym," Lin Li responded immediately. "Also, Uncle Yan, could you pixelate the part of the photos where my face appears? I don't want to show my face."
If not for obtaining something, Lin Li wouldn't even want to participate in such an interview, and naturally wouldn't want to reveal his face or his name.
"Alright," Yan Aosong naturally respected Lin Li's wishes but asked again: "Lin Li, what pseudonym would you like to use, just Xiaolin?"
"Don't use Xiaolin, I have a fixed—" Lin Li nodded, intending to reveal his alias, Li Feiyu.
"Hold on!" Principal Wang's voice urgently interrupted him.
Lin Li looked at the principal in confusion.
As the two made eye contact, urgency faded from the principal's eyes, replaced by calmness. He sincerely looked at Lin Li, gently suggesting:
"Lin Li, let me say, Xiaoli is a thing of the past, let's have Xiaoli only handle cracking down on pornography, alright?
Yan Aosong and Sheng Zhanpeng turned their heads aside.
Watching an elderly man in his forties or fifties use a kindergarten teacher's tone to guide an eighteen-year-old boy, it's hard to keep a straight face.
Lin Li also understood the principal's meaning—worried someone might dig up old accounts, leading to the discovery that the student beside the photographed principal was previously a pioneer in pornography crackdown.
What foresight from the principal, his thinking is indeed meticulous.
Lin Li naturally went along: "Then I'll be Xiaobai."
Yan Aosong: "That sounds like a dog's name, are you sure, Lin Li?"
"I wasn't sure originally, but you saying that makes me completely sure." Lin Li nodded seriously.
"Alright."
The interview continued.
Until the end, Lin Li cooperated well with the principal, and whenever Xue Jian participated, Lin Li would also cooperate with him.
Obediently, seriously, speaking sensibly.
The unfamiliar scene in front of him made Xue Jian very certain of one thing, some evil spirit had possessed Lin Li. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
He was no longer Lin Li.
Realizing this possibility, Xue Jian couldn't help but feel unsettled.
Very worried.
Will the evil spirit be okay?
Should I invite a Daoist to drive Lin Li out of the evil spirit's body?
[Your behavior is peculiar, and the sect elders actually suspect you're possessed by an evil spirit, but your heart is pure, how can you endure such suspicion?]
[Mission triggered!]
[Mission Six: Prove to the sect elders that you're not possessed by an evil spirit.]
[Mission Reward: Physical Improvement: Spiritual Qi absorption speed increased by 100%; System Currency*50]
Lin Li: "ᓖ뮤?"
"Huh?"
