Lin Wei was the top scorer of this year’s college entrance examination. This news had already been announced to the entire city. CEO Lin had even happily told this to many people he knew, whether they were business partners or relatives or friends.
If they had to correct the results, if word got out that Lin Wei’s points were fake, the Lin family would lose a lot of face!
Moreover, this could be considered a scandal. If news of this got out, not only would CEO Lin lose all face, but the Lin Group’s share prices might also plummet.
CEO Lin was furious that Lin Wei had acted so recklessly and caused such a huge mess, leaving him with no choice but to clean this up.
He leaned back on the leather chair, his expression turning serious again. “‘Change the results’ might be easy for you to say, but it’s actually very difficult. Think about it. This involves many people. It’s not just the Lin family, but also those people from the admissions office. Do you think they will agree to your request?
“Even if they really are in the wrong, they will cover up this matter to protect their reputation and avoid going to jail. They will not agree to your request. Even if the matter blows up, they can simply claim that you’re making trouble without reason. So, choose something else.”
Rong Si had already expected the Lin corporation’s CEO to say this. On the way here, he had thought about many things and expected to receive such an answer.
He knew that this was no longer just Lin Wei’s problem. It was related to the reputation and benefits of the Lin family and Lin Corporation.
If he were to clash head-on with these rich and powerful people, there would be losses on both sides.
And there was one crucial point. If this matter was exposed, would it be beneficial to him?
The answer was no.
During his high school years, Rong Si had deliberately kept his grades below average. If he suddenly announced to the public that he was this year’s college entrance examination champion, not many people would believe him. They would think that it was ridiculous.
When the time came, the Lin family and the other people involved in the swapping of the scores would work together to deal with him. They would claim he was just seeking attention, and that those recordings and audio recordings were fake. With his current capabilities, Rong Si could not afford to fight them like this.
And he didn’t want this matter to be exposed either. He didn’t want Little Jiu to know.
But, was he willing to let his life get changed forever because of some kid’s whim?
The answer was also no.
Song Wanqiu had also expected this answer. She bitterly smiled and said, “Rich people like you can control other people’s lives so casually.”
CEO Lin smiled. “I admit that I didn’t teach my son well, which resulted in him making such a mistake. He has let you down. I apologize on his behalf and am willing to compensate you. That kid said in the recording that he wanted to give you two million yuan. You didn’t agree, right? Then I’ll give you five times that amount. Ten million yuan! Also, you can choose any university overseas. Are you willing?”
Rong Si’s gaze turned colder and more mocking.
Ten million was really tempting. These wealthy people were really generous.
“Is this about money?” Song Wanqiu was so furious that her face turned pale. “We only want what belongs to us. Don’t you understand?”
“I’ve already said that I can’t give you what you want.” A hint of impatience appeared in CEO Lin’s tone. “The conditions I have offered are tempting enough. If it were someone else, they would have accepted it happily. What else do you guys want?”
“What else? Heh…” Song Wanqiu bitterly and sarcastically laughed. “We used to be very wealthy too. It’s not like we haven’t seen ten million yuan before. Unfortunately, there are some things that you can’t change with money! ”
These words made CEO Lin furious. “What do you want? I’m warning you! Don’t push your luck!”
