The restaurant manager, a young man, was sitting in a corner of the restaurant with two beautiful waitresses watching Lin Zhe's funny videos. The waitresses were laughing hysterically.
One of the waiters laughed and said, "Manager, this blogger is so talented! He's turned this student into a big-headed doll."
Another waiter asked, "Wait for me at Tsinghua and Peking University, was that written for him by the blogger?"
"No, it was a screenshot taken by the blogger from his social media page. Isn't that ambitious? He wants to get into Tsinghua or Peking University through cheating skills."
The manager remarked with emotion:
“I had this skill when I was in school, so I wouldn’t be working here.”
A beautiful waitress complained:
"Yes, No. 12 Middle School is a good school. They even allow students to exchange answer sheets."
"This student must be rich, otherwise how could he bribe his classmate to switch the answer sheet?"
"Look at the comments below. They say he's a classmate named Lin Zhe, and his parents drove him to the exam hall in a Porsche. He's usually among the top students in his grade and often posts on his personal social media, agonizing over whether to choose Tsinghua or Peking University."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the lives of the rich are so easy. They just steal from the left and the right, and high scores come easily."
"Revolutionary little hands, whatever you need, we've got it."
"I'll fight these rich people to the death! Is there no fairness in this society?" the restaurant manager sighed.
At that moment, the manager's walkie-talkie crackled to life:
"Manager, the guests in room 204 are calling you over. They're very angry right now, come quickly!" came the anxious voice of the waiter.
The restaurant manager frowned slightly. The customers who frequented this restaurant were generally of a high standard and wouldn't intentionally cause trouble.
Why is the guest angry?
"I don't know what's wrong with Xiao Li. He went into the private room, poured wine, and started laughing uncontrollably. The guests feel offended. Please come in and apologize."
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
The manager hurried upstairs, knocked on the door of private room 204, and bowed deeply to apologize. With five years of experience in the industry, his dedication and professionalism were evident to all.
"Guests, we apologize for the inadequate service that affected your dining experience."
As the main character of today's banquet, Lin Zhe wanted to show off his magnanimity and vision in front of Jiang Mian.
He smiled and said, "It's alright. I believe you didn't do it on purpose, and you've already apologized."
The manager breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and prepared to thank the understanding guest.
"Thank you for..."
He looked up and saw the speaker was quite young. Why did he look so familiar? The image of Lin Zhe, the big-headed doll, flashed through the manager's mind, and the bizarre background music played on a loop in his head. Oh no, he really wanted to laugh.
The manager went through all the sorrows he had experienced in his life, and to avoid laughing, he could only purse his lips and mumble what he was about to say:
Thank you for your understanding. Enjoy your meal.
After saying this, the manager quickly slipped out of the private room, clutching his stomach and laughing heartily.
He's a professional; he doesn't usually laugh unless he can't help it.
Xiao Li, who was waiting at the door of the private room, laughed again.
Xiao Li imitated the way the big-headed doll in the video moved its body and quickly reached out to pull out a slip of paper:
"Manager, tell me, isn't it hilarious? Lin Zhe just said in the private room that he's determined to be number one in the grade."
Another waiter in the private room chimed in:
“I heard it too. That young girl is so adoring of him and insists on marrying him.”
"Haha, that's awesome."
"And there's something even more amazing: their two families are going to become lifelong friends."
The two beautiful waitresses who were watching the video with the manager earlier happened to be bringing out dishes from the next private room.
The gossipmonger asked, "What are you laughing at?"
“The Lin Zhe who’s trending on social media is in page 204,” Xiao Li replied.
One of the beautiful women asked in surprise, "Really? Manager, I'd like to go in and take a look."
"Stop joking around, you'll be fined if a customer complains." The manager is a true professional.
"Yeah, it's so embarrassing to get fined for trying to make a fool of yourself."
Several people were laughing in the corridor of the private room. No one noticed that the manager had left the door of room 204 in such a hurry that it was not closed. Their conversation could be heard clearly inside the room.
The three members of the Jiang family looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Video? Trending topic? What are they talking about?"
During the event, everyone took out their phones. The top trending topic on Weibo was: "The strongest craftsman appeared at the mock exam of Haishi Middle School."
The fourth trending topic: What is Lin Zhe's background?
Four or five of the top twenty trending topics mentioned Lin Zhe, and the videos that went viral were all kinds of things.
Bloggers from all walks of life are showcasing their talents, each with their own unique style, and their influence is flourishing everywhere.
There are parody videos from comedy bloggers, videos from science bloggers explaining cheating and the law, videos from emotional bloggers lamenting the stolen youth, and a bunch of short essays from writers lamenting class differences and how the rich can do whatever they want.
During the gathering, everyone randomly clicked on a video and clearly saw Lin Zhe cheating in almost every subject, not just one.
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is arguably the fairest opportunity for ordinary people to strive for success. Comments from netizens are filled with outrage, demanding that schools and education authorities severely punish those who cheat.
Lin Zhe felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His head felt like it had exploded. The image he had painstakingly cultivated over the years had been destroyed in an instant. Now he was being ridiculed by the entire internet. His studies, future, and reputation were all ruined, and there was basically no way to salvage the situation. This was not just a matter of being abandoned by the Lin family.
With a loud "bang," Jiang Cheng, his expression contorted with rage, slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"Lin Haoran, you dare to play me for fools? What kind of dog did you raise? You even dare to dream of marrying my daughter."
Jiang Cheng only wanted to find a compromise to avoid angering Old Master Jiang, but he didn't expect to get involved with Lin Zhe, this piece of shit. This is outrageous!
Seeing the duck about to fly away from his mouth, Lin Haoran quickly tried to salvage the situation:
"My dear in-law, what are you saying? Please don't be angry. It's all a misunderstanding. I will investigate and clarify the matter immediately. These online workers are lawless these days."
Jiang Cheng, who considered himself quite thick-skinned, felt ashamed in front of Lin Haoran and roared furiously:
"Misunderstanding? Do you think I'm blind? Lin Zhe is cheating. The video clearly shows it. What are you investigating?"
Lin Haoran was speechless after being rebuked.
Zhang Wanru panicked and clutched her chest, trying to appeal to people's emotions:
“My dear in-laws, didn’t we just agree that our two families would maintain a long-lasting and harmonious relationship? This is precisely the time to test the friendship between our two families.”
Sun Yun's face was ashen, and her voice was icy:
"Who are your in-laws? Don't get involved. I've raised my daughter with all my heart for so many years. How can she marry someone that everyone hates? If Lin Zhe becomes my son-in-law, I'm afraid I'll be laughed to death when I go out."
Jiang Cheng said coldly, "Our Jiang family has an excellent reputation in the capital. Let's just call off this marriage. It's off the table."
"How could you do this? Putting aside the facts, Xiao Zhe is a good child. Your going back on your word will hurt him." Lin Rou was so angry that she started talking nonsense.
"You're being completely unreasonable!" Jiang Cheng slammed his hand on the table again and roared, "Let's go, let's go!"
Lin Haoran knew the marriage was beyond repair and remained silent. A businessman's most important asset is his reputation; without it, no one will cooperate. Lin Zhe was ruined; a single act of cheating on an exam caused a city-wide scandal—what a waste!
Jiang Mian and Sun Yun followed Jiang Cheng away.
Lin Zhe knelt down before the three of them with a thud: "Mianmian, I was wrong! Give me another chance."
