Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1564 - 1561: One After Another Keeps Coming

Lin Tian was slightly surprised because Mrs. Xiao had guessed correctly. It must be said that as the group’s leader, she had an exceptional eye.

Nodding, Lin Tian admitted, "With the Xiao Family’s wealth and status, attending an elite school shouldn’t be difficult, right?"

Mrs. Xiao chuckled, with a strange expression on her face, "I know a teacher from an elite school. Her elite school is claimed to be one of the top ten in the country, aligning with international standards, with quite a few celebrities’ and wealthy businessmen’s children attending."

"I once considered choosing a school for Xuanxuan to attend, but by chance, I got an entrance exam paper from that teacher, which made me change my mind."

"You must be curious about what kind of exam paper made me change my decision." Mrs. Xiao looked at Lin Tian, affirming.

Lin Tian was indeed curious; he actually didn’t know much about those elite schools, mostly some online rumors, so he nodded, wanting to see what kind of exam it was. Could it be more complicated than the college entrance exam?

Mrs. Xiao didn’t sell the suspense, continuing, "It was an entrance exam paper, with not many questions, and among them were a few like these."

"If you have 300,000 yuan of extra money, how would you scientifically and rationally manage it?"

"If your father gave you two million yuan, how would you reasonably allocate it?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"What is the minimum registered capital needed for a company?"

"The most remarkable question was the last big one, and the content was: Briefly describe your parents’ specific occupations and work experiences, how they influenced you, and your career plan?"

Mrs. Xiao spoke of these questions with a strange tone, and Lin Tian was dumbfounded upon hearing them. This was the entrance exam for the so-called elite school?

Seeing Lin Tian’s expression, Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Lin Tian, you’re a smart person; you’ve already thought of the essence of this so-called entrance exam."

Lin Tian certainly realized, this was nowhere near a proper exam, it’s an investigation of family background, categorizing students into different classes, just wanting to know how much money, power, and status students’ families have, the last big question being the most obvious.

"The teacher happens to be the one grading the papers, and the school leadership assigned her a task to compile a detailed table based on students’ answers, recording the asset levels of each student’s family. Can I trust such an elite school for Xuanxuan to attend?" The always gentle and elegant Mrs. Xiao unusually showed a contemptuous expression.

"I see many celebrities are very reassured to send their children to such elite schools," Lin Tian joked.

Mrs. Xiao didn’t explain further, just retorting, "Would the Li Family’s offspring and the Yun Family’s offspring attend these elite schools? There are no real elite schools in the country; Huaxia’s best educational resources are all concentrated in public schools. Moreover, the current so-called elite school development direction itself has a problem."

"Elite schools have become a culture of flaunting wealth, which differs too much from real elite schools abroad, and the so-called all-inclusive military-style management is a very backward management method. Elite schools do this merely because all-inclusive management can save management costs and there’s more excuses for charging fees."

"Which of the world’s top academic institutions has all-inclusive military-style management now? Academic atmosphere should be free, embracing diversity, rather than drawing a small circle. Students graduating from such schools have limited perspectives, and it’s quite a kind of repression to them."

"I don’t want Xuanxuan to suppress her individuality; I respect her choice. Her own path, she chooses it, she walks it herself." Mrs. Xiao finally answered Lin Tian’s question using several instances of "own."

"The Second Miss should be glad she has such open-minded parents; I’m somewhat envious of her," Lin Tian said half-seriously, half-playfully.

"You can also choose your own path to walk, can’t you?" Mrs. Xiao looked intently at Lin Tian with a smile on her face.

Maybe, Lin Tian thought to himself, in a small sense, with his current abilities, he was qualified to say he chose his own path, but on a larger scale, becoming a zombie, was it really his choice? Or was it essentially a fate?

Mrs. Xiao looked at Lin Tian’s eyes, seemingly observing the changing smoke clouds, making it impossible to see through them. Delving a little deeper seemed to lead one to get lost in those clouds.

A strong chord in the heart moved, Li Xinyi took a deep breath, slightly calming herself, "It’s late; let’s call it a night. You’ve traveled a long way today; you should rest early."

After speaking, she turned and left, not waiting for Lin Tian to return to the villa together. Lin Tian didn’t catch up but just watched Li Xinyi’s distant silhouette as she turned away. He noticed a trace of complexity and panic in her eyes as she turned.

That’s it, Lin Tian sighed softly, and then he too started to head back.

Returning to the villa, Li Xinyi was already upstairs, unseen. Lin Tian didn’t think much and went back to his room. As he opened the door, Lin Tian had a stir in his heart, then slowly walked in, looking toward the sofa.

Sitting on the sofa was a person, stunningly beautiful, with an attractive figure, her spine straight like a standing sword.

"Miss, you broke into the bedroom at night; should I shout loudly to expose your rogue behavior?" Sitting on the sofa was indeed Xiao Manxue, and Lin Tian was not so courteous to the little girl.

"I have something to discuss with you." Xiao Manxue didn’t respond to his words but instead got straight to the point.

Lin Tian wasn’t surprised, but instead smiled, "Let me guess, is it about the Second Miss?"

Xiao Manxue looked evidently taken aback and frowned, "How... did you know?"

"Because Chairman Xiao just came to see me." Lin Tian didn’t hide what had happened earlier and even briefly recounted their conversation.

"Sure enough, can’t hide anything from Mom..." Xiao Manxue lightly sighed after hearing the recount, "Lin Tian, thank you."

"No need for thanks, why not stay the night then." Lin Tian said earnestly.

"You... you dare!" Under Lin Tian’s gaze wandering over her, Xiao Manxue felt like she wasn’t wearing clothes; she raised her hand nervously, with a sword in her hand appearing out of nowhere.

Seeing the longsword, Lin Tian felt quite depressed but still teased, "Miss, bringing your Hua Ying Sword into my room, do you have some special hobby?"

Approaching her as he spoke, Xiao Manxue was backed up to the sofa with nowhere to retreat, so she could only use the sword to hold off Lin Tian, "You... don’t come any closer."

However, the sword wasn’t unsheathed; wasn’t this the little girl’s hint? Lin Tian chuckled, chest pressing against the sword sheath as he continued to approach, then reached out with both hands to support on the sofa’s backrest, trapping the Miss between his arms.

The distance between them instantly closed, Lin Tian could even smell the warm breath she exhaled along with the orchid-like fragrance emanating from her.
