Chapter 2169: Your Face Is Really Thick (First Update)

Chapter 2169: Chapter 2169: Your Face Is Really Thick (First Update)

At the same time, some of the big shots present, like Ouyang Li and Dong Shang, were also quite stunned!

You have to know, Wang Yinlu is far more than "just" a vice dean!

He’s also one of the very top scientists in the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

Under him, there is an independent research team!

In the past ten years, Wang Yinlu’s team has obtained more than eighty commercial patents!

And every single patent is extremely practical.

And insanely expensive!

Each patent can sell for hundreds of millions!

And in these ten years, Wang Yinlu’s team has also undertaken more than twenty major national-level research projects!

On top of that, there are still some secret patents that haven’t been made public!

You could say Wang Yinlu’s research team is one of the absolute top teams in all of Huaxia!

Countless people would kill to get in, yet every year, fewer than two people manage to join Wang Yinlu’s team!

This terrifying number says it all.

Watching Wang Yinlu’s mad sprint, countless professors on site who have anything to do with science were clutching their heads and howling.

"I refuse, I refuse to accept this! The students I poured my heart and soul into still aren’t as good as someone who barely even shows up to class!"

"Aaaahhh—why, why, I just can’t wrap my head around this!"

Envy, jealousy, hatred!

You have to understand, they have dreams too.

Their dream is to have their own students join the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

That way, their own reputation would skyrocket as well.

They came to this academic competition precisely to earn the recognition of an ultimate institution like the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This bastard Zhang Fan, he’s already joined the ridiculously awesome Huaxia Painting Association and the European Oil Painting Alliance.

And now he’s snatching this away from them too!

It’s just too much!

Meanwhile, countless parents watching the live news feed were about to blow up.

"The Chinese Academy of Sciences! The Chinese Academy of Sciences, damn it!"

"How can this brat be this good!"

"Aaaahhh, no way, when that little bastard gets back, I’m beating him to death for sure."

And all the college kids who’d found out who Zhang Fan really is through various channels were also losing it at this scene.

"Is this even a human being, damn!"

"What the hell is the old man at home thinking, can we even compare to someone like that?"

"Across the whole country, there are barely a few people like this, right?"

"More than that, at least ten years won’t produce another one."

"I’m being wronged here, seriously!"

"This is completely unreasonable!"

Countless people were so angry their stomachs hurt!

Why, why do we have to be compared to such a freak?

Have dad and mom’s brains gone mushy?

Why don’t you go compare yourselves to those world-class tycoons instead?

We’re still just kids, we can’t handle this kind of pressure.

Right now, countless college kids were glaring viciously at their phone screens.

Zhang Fan, you bastard, pay for this!

Back at the Tsinghua venue, the atmosphere was extremely bizarre!

As people of Tsinghua itself, ninety-nine point nine nine percent of them were in a state of extreme excitement.

For one reason!

Zhang Fan is one of Tsinghua’s own.

This academic competition had only just started its first day and already got ended by Zhang Fan—this is Tsinghua’s glory.

How could they not be hyped!

Only a very small number of people were staring at Zhang Fan with sulky faces.

They were also participants in this competition!

Who wouldn’t want to shine on a stage like this?

But now, this bastard Zhang Fan actually left them with not even a chance to go on stage—tell me, wouldn’t you be pissed?

And then there were those with terrible grades, whose parents were yelling things like "live or die on your own" and "come home for a beating"—that tiny group practically wanted to tear Zhang Fan apart and eat him alive.

As for the girls, you could say they were completely going crazy.

On the Face-Slapping Squad’s side, He Yang, Xu Xingwang and the others were also in a state of extreme excitement.

They just weren’t showing it as crazily.

Each of them was forcefully suppressing that raging emotion while trying to calm the people around them.

"Sit down, sit down, this is just a routine operation for our Leader, what’s there to get excited about?"

"Bunch of country bumpkins who’ve never seen the world, did you see our banner?"

"With sun and moon in his grasp, plucking stars from the sky, in all the world none are like our Fan Bro!"

Hearing this, that group from Beijing University, plus the students and professors who’d come to compete, all had their noses twisted out of shape with rage.

"Would it kill you not to show off?"

"What’s the big deal, come on, let your Leader compete with us in calligraphy!"

In response, everyone on the Tsinghua side and the Face-Slapping Squad all raised their middle fingers and started booing.

At the same time!

Wang Qiming’s fleeing crew started running even faster.

Dozens of people, like they were running for their lives, bolted out of the Tsinghua gates and then vanished into the streets.

Meanwhile, Zong Yuan, who’d been faking illness, heard the commotion outside and instantly jumped up and sprinted!

"I knew it, I knew the Chinese Academy of Sciences people would rush over." Zong Yuan’s face was twisted into an incredibly dark expression.

With the Chinese Academy of Sciences coming to steal talent, he really had no chance.

In the eyes of those science maniacs from the Academy, painting and such can be summed up in a single phrase.

A frivolous hobby that ruins your future!

And besides, the Chinese Academy of Sciences—that’s a place that exists for Huaxia’s development.

"Where the hell are you guys, how long has it been, why aren’t you here yet?" Zong Yuan was sprinting while cursing.

At the same time, Mo Ganfu, Mike Williams and the others each held a few sheets of paper in their hands, sprinting behind Zong Yuan.

Seeing that, Zong Yuan got even angrier.

The people from the European Oil Painting Alliance already had their materials prepared, and them?

They were right here in the Capital City, and their stuff still wasn’t ready.

Utterly useless idiots!

At the same time, at Tsinghua’s gate, an old man was bent over, hands braced on his knees, panting heavily.

"Old Zong, you son of a bitch, I’m about to keel over here, OK!"

After he finished, the old man turned around and roared at the bodyguards behind him, "Quick, carry me in!"

In an instant, a burly bodyguard scooped him up and charged forward.

Right then, seven or eight black cars shot in through Tsinghua’s gate.

"Faster, Liu Chuanxu, you useless piece of trash, how can you drive this slow!"

In the car, Guo Xin was shaking with rage!

Liu Chuanxu’s face was covered in black lines.

Looking at the group of old men behind him gripping their canes, ready to swing, he was really pissed.

What are you yelling at me for, I’m not even the one driving!

Come on, I’m at least the deputy director of the Shield Bureau, can you give me some face?

Also, this is Tsinghua College!

An academy, for god’s sake! You crash into someone, you’re taking responsibility!

And it’s not like that guy Zhang Fan can fly or something, right?

But the next second, Liu Chuanxu turned his head and shouted at the driver.

"Drive faster, got it?"

Driver: "..."

How the hell did I get dragged into this?

"Huff, huff!"

Having sprinted all the way to Zhang Fan’s side, Wang Yinlu was gasping violently!

He took a few deep breaths of air, then hurriedly said, "Zhang Fan, come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences! Join my team!"

"Huh?"

Stunned by the massive influx of Anger Value and Emotion Value, Zhang Fan heard that commanding tone and immediately looked up.

"Uncle, you’ve got some nerve. You shout and I’m just supposed to go? Don’t I get any say in this?"

???

The entire square fell completely silent.

Countless people stared with wide eyes, utterly shocked!

Holy shit, this bastard Zhang Fan actually dared to talk like that to Wang Yinlu, the vice dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
