"Lin Tian, you have a solution? What solution?" Liu Ruming was surprised and anxious as she spoke.
"Uh, the solution is that when you apply to the principal, just say that the idea of creating the club was mine." Lin Tian touched his nose as he spoke.
He felt that it sounded a bit arrogant, but then again, it was the only way unless they decided not to proceed with the club. But if they didn’t start the club, organizing the English corner would take up a lot of his time, and Lin Tian didn’t want that, so he had to be straightforward about it.
"That’s your solution?" Liu Ruming really didn’t believe it, speaking with great skepticism.
Just how much weight does a student’s word carry that the principal would make an exception by just mentioning your name? Liu Ruming thought if she believed Lin Tian, either he was insane or she was.
"Yes, that’s my solution. If you want to start the English corner, that’s fine, but I can’t spend too much time on it. Establishing a club is the best solution. If you don’t trust me, then forget it, I won’t participate in the English corner either." Lin Tian’s tone was somewhat harsh as he spoke bluntly.
"You..." Liu Ruming was at a loss for words and almost became angry. She had never seen such a bold student who dared to talk to a teacher .
"Teacher Liu, because of the previous English teacher, I’ve always been somewhat resistant to English teachers. Don’t blame me. But I thought your teaching philosophy was very good, and it changed my impression of English teachers, so I’m willing to help with this. If you still don’t believe me, then let’s pretend I never said anything." Lin Tian looked at her, speaking indifferently.
"But..." Liu Ruming still found his method hard to accept. If it wasn’t effective, she’d just be scolded by the principal for nothing.
"Ding, ling, ling..."
While she was hesitating, the bell rang for class. Lin Tian waved his hand at her and then pointed towards the classroom, signaling that he needed to attend class before turning and heading to the classroom.
But Liu Ruming caught up to him, walking side by side with Lin Tian.
"Teacher Liu, why are you following me?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
"What do you mean following you? The third period is also my English class," Liu Ruming gave him a glance, clearly annoyed with Lin Tian’s remark.
Lin Tian misunderstood, but he didn’t say anything and passed through the corridor to reach the classroom of Senior Year Class 1.
By this time, all the students in the classroom were seated and waiting for the teacher to arrive, but they were surprised to see Lin Tian walk in side by side with Liu Ruming. Everyone’s eyes widened. What was Lin Tian doing with Teacher Liu? The same question popped into everyone’s mind.
Lin Tian didn’t care what they thought; he knew the gossipy nature of his classmates all too well and that he couldn’t control it. Teacher Liu naturally separated from Lin Tian and walked up to the podium.
"Classmates, before class starts, I have an important announcement to make," said Teacher Liu, not starting the lesson but making a formal announcement.
Important announcement? The moment Lin Tian heard her, he realized that this young and beautiful English teacher seemed to have made up her mind and was ready for action.
As expected, once Teacher Liu had everyone’s attention, she spoke earnestly, "I plan to establish an English corner, with Lin Tian as the group leader."
Her words immediately sparked discussion in the class, with students whispering about this new development and then looking toward Lin Tian.
"You jerk, why don’t you seem surprised at all? When you just walked in with Teacher Liu, were you already discussing this?" Xiao Manxuan asked him, looking puzzled.
If anyone in the class was not surprised, it was Zhang Lingyu. Lin Tian noticed she kept flipping through her book, completely uninterested in the English corner promoted by Liu Ruming.
But Lin Tian thought it made sense; someone with a mysterious background like hers probably wasn’t here to just study in high school, let alone be interested in an English corner.
"Second Miss, listen until the end before speaking. Teacher Liu hasn’t finished yet," Lin Tian glanced at her and said indifferently.
Clearing her throat to quiet everyone down, Teacher Liu continued, "But Lin Tian suggested an even better idea, proposing the establishment of an English club. By doing this under the name of an association, we can ensure the longevity of this activity."
As soon as she finished speaking, an even louder buzz arose in the class, prompting Class Leader He to stand up and say, "Teacher Liu, our school doesn’t have a precedent for creating clubs. Will the school leaders really agree to this?"
"Yes, Teacher Liu, it sounds like a great idea, but it seems too difficult," another student chimed in with their opinion.
"You guys should believe in Brother Tian. If he suggests it, he must have a way," Fatty Huang’s voice rose above the rest. He then turned to Lin Tian and asked, "Brother Tian, do you already have a method in mind?"
With that question, all the students turned their gaze toward Lin Tian, including Zhang Lingyu who glanced up from her book.
"Yes, I already have a method," Lin Tian nodded, confirming.
"Really? What’s the method, can you share it with us?" Fatty Huang was curious and couldn’t help asking.
Lin Tian gave him a sideways glance and said, "Heavenly Mechanism must not be revealed."
Teacher Liu, standing at the podium, couldn’t help but smile upon hearing that; she had already known Lin Tian’s so-called "Heavenly Mechanism", just finding it a bit hard to believe.
"Alright, Brother Tian, no matter how you do it, as long as you set up the English club, I’m all for electing you as the President. President Lin, let me be the first to report to you, and when the time comes, please look after your little brother," Fatty Huang made a bowing gesture, humorously saying.
"Come on, Fatty Huang, it’s not right for you to say that. You’re not even a member yet, get in line behind me," Gao Le waved his hand at him and then addressed Lin Tian, "Brother Tian, please accept me as a member. I will definitely recruit and build up our association."
This guy was even more shameless with his words, claiming "our association" before even being a member.
The boys were lively in their discussion, and the girls didn’t want to be left out. A girl stood up,
first huffed at Gao Le, then said, "Gao Le, you’re not right either. With Brother Lin’s charisma, does he even need you to recruit and build an army? Listen up, I want to be the President’s secretary, so don’t you guys fight with me for it."
Lin Tian listened with a full face of disbelief. Since when did an association have a position for a President’s secretary? The secretariat of an association, maybe. But her opening up prompted other female students to voice their desire to be the President’s secretary.
Teacher Liu on the podium was also taken aback. Although she knew Lin Tian had good leadership, the extent of his appeal was astonishing, with even the girls competing to be the secretary for this President Lin.
Lin Tian had no choice but to stand up, and with a raised hand, the whole class quieted down, and Teacher Liu experienced Lin Tian’s unparalleled authority in the class once again.
"Uh, dear classmates, and lovely ladies, I appreciate your support, but I regret to tell you all that there is no such position as the President’s secretary in an association, you’re thinking too much," Lin Tian looked at the girls, speaking frankly.
