The head of the department was indeed a shrewd person. His ability to act according to the wind was better than anyone else’s.
When he heard Chief Feng’s tone, he immediately said to Lin Bai with a smile:
“Lin Bai, you were brave and brave and even got injured. Why didn’t you tell the school?”
“We thought that you skipped class for no reason, but it turned out to be because you were brave and brave. That’s understandable!”
“Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, don’t worry. The school will not punish you anymore. We will also hold a teacher-student conference to publicize your deeds and call on the students to learn from you.”
With just a few words, the Dean had turned all the previous conflicts into a misunderstanding.
As for whether the timing could match up, that was not important.
Since the Dean had already sent the stage to him, Lin Bai gave him some face and said,
“It was just a coincidence. If it were anyone else, they would have stopped it as well.”
“This trivial matter isn’t worth mentioning. Forget about the teacher-student conference.”
The Dean looked at Chief Feng and sized up the expression on his face. Thoughts raced through his mind and he immediately proposed a compromise.
Lin Bai thought about the school newspaper. In any case, not many people would read it seriously, so he tacitly agreed.
Chief Feng could also see that Lin Bai was actually very indifferent to these things, so he dispelled the idea of holding an award ceremony for Lin Bai at the teacher-student conference.
However, under the witness of the Dean and the instructor, the medal and Certificate of Bravery were presented to Lin Bai.
The instructor stood to the side and did not interrupt the whole process. He had no choice but to cooperate with and put on an expression that seemed to be full of praise.
In fact, his heart was itching with hatred, so much so that his entire face was about to twist.
Lin Bai saw everything and only found it funny.
However, Lin Bai couldn’t be bothered to talk to such a clown anymore. He took the medal and certificate and left.
Unexpectedly, Chief Feng also came out. He even deliberately pulled Lin Bai aside and said to him, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you suppress the beating. It won’t affect you in any way, and no one will find trouble with you.”
“This is my private number. If you need anything in the future, you can call me anytime.”
As he said this, he stuffed the business card into Lin Bai’s hand.
Lin Bai was completely dumbfounded.
He could not believe his ears, and even more so, he could not believe that the dignified director of the city’s public security bureau would be so direct and friendly to him.
Oh no, this was no longer as simple as being friendly. He was just short of saying, “I’ll take care of you in the future.”.
‘What does this mean? I can ignore the law and do whatever I want in the future?!’
Lin Bai did not think that he was worthy of the protection of the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau just because he had done a heroic deed.
There must be another reason.
“Chief Feng, you are…” Lin Bai asked tentatively.
Chief Feng laughed and said, “Lin Bai, I have high hopes for you and I have already reported your deeds to the higher-ups. You will definitely be one of the top ten outstanding young men in the city this year. If you have any other requests, feel free to mention them!”
Lin Bai’s mind was filled with question marks.
He restrained himself and smiled, saying, “Chief Feng, you’re flattering me too much. I just did a small thing in passing. I Can’t afford so much praise.”
Chief Feng repeatedly said, “No, no, no, you can afford it. You can afford even more honor. This is what you deserve!”
“Your heroic act saved countless lives…”
Chief Feng repeated what he said in front of the dean, praising Lin Bai as a superhero who saved the world.
The more he acted like this, the more Lin Bai felt that something was wrong.
Something must have gone wrong. Lin Bai felt uneasy if he didn’t understand the reason behind it.
So he simply asked directly.
But Chief Feng did not tell the truth. He had to say that he admired his courage and was grateful that he had saved so many lives. That was why he was willing to take such good care of him.
Even a three-year-old child would not believe such a reason. Naturally, Lin Bai would not believe it.
Since he could not find out the real reason, Lin Bai could only give up.
After chief Feng left, Lin Bai was still immersed in confusion. He could not understand why the other party would treat him like this.
Not long after, the ringtone of his phone interrupted Lin Bai’s thoughts.
Lin Bai took out his phone and took a look. The screen displayed the words “Wang Huaigu” Only then did he suddenly remember that he had forgotten something important.
After picking up the phone, before Lin Bai could open his mouth, he heard Wang Huaigu on the other end of the phone ask with a sobbing tone,
“Mr. Xiao Lin, didn’t you say that as long as I can hold on for another day, you would refund me all the transfer money?”
“I called you so many times yesterday, but I couldn’t get in touch with you. Can I get a refund of the transfer money or not?”
Apart from the pain and anxiety in Wang Huaigu’s tone, there was also an unconcealable complaint.
Lin Bai said, “I’m sorry. There was an accident yesterday that delayed this matter.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll transfer the money to you now.”
Wang Huaigu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Bai say that he would make money immediately. He repeated his bank account number a few times, afraid that Lin Bai would transfer the money wrongly.
Lin Bai did not hang up the phone and directly transferred 1.8 billion to him.
“It’s done. Take a look,” Lin Bai said.
Wang Huaigu waited for a moment before he became visibly excited.
“I got it, I got it! Thank you so much, Mr. Lin! I’ll go and pay the fees for the ICU right now. After I’ve settled everything in the hospital, I’ll go over and look for you to sign a new contract.”
“Oh right, where can I find you?”
Wang Huaigu’s thoughts were very simple. Since Lin Bai had so readily refunded him the full transfer fee, then he had to be quick and quickly sign a new contract to return the mining rights.
This way, Lin Bai could quickly find a new buyer and save time and cost.
However, Lin Bai said, “There’s no need to sign a new contract. I won’t take back the mining rights.”
“Consider this money as a loan to you. When you’re done settling the hospital fees, reorganize the manpower to continue mining.”
Wang Huaigu was completely stunned.
He never would have thought that Lin Bai would refund the transfer fee and not take back the mining rights.
“This… how can I do this?”
Wang Huaigu didn’t know what to say.
Lin Bai said, “There’s no need to be embarrassed. It’s a loan. You have to return it. And I’m not lending it to you for free. You have to agree to two conditions.”
Hearing this, Wang Huaigu’s nervous mood calmed down instead.
In the business world, talking about conditions wasn’t scary. What was scary were deals with no conditions. That was the real bottomless pit of favors that couldn’t be repaid.
