Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1604 - 1601: Saying the Wrong Thing

"Just a bunch of students, don’t know anything, talking about playing the guqin, wasting my time." Bitong took a sip of iced juice and added another sentence.

After a while, Bitong didn’t hear her reply, so she frowned and looked at Tian Xiaotian, discovering that Tian Xiaotian was looking at Lin Tian. Bitong then looked at Lin Tian, and the more she looked, the deeper her frown became. Her expression worsened and, as if remembering something, she shot up in shock.

Lin Tian smiled slightly and said calmly, "Miss Bitong has finally recognized me."

"It’s you!" Bitong squinted her eyes, then seemed to remember something, looking behind Lin Tian as if searching for someone.

"Is Miss Bitong looking for someone?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, deliberately guessing, "Let me guess, are you looking for Mr. Yun?"

At the mention of "Mr. Yun," Bitong’s expression changed slightly, and then she cautiously asked, "What’s your relationship with Young Master Yun?"

The airport had no fans greeting visitors that day, and later she personally asked the airport leadership, who did not hide the truth, telling her that Young Master Yun was meeting with an important figure, canceling the fan greeting for security.

The airport leadership didn’t tell her who the important figure was, but now, she knows, the important figure is the young man in front of her.

"I’m not here to discuss my relationship with Mr. Yun; let’s talk about cutting the program." Lin Tian casually sat down, signaling her to sit as well.

Seeing Lin Tian being so casual in front of her, Bitong frowned, looking displeased. If she listened to Lin Tian and sat down, she’d lose face, but standing as a grand star to speak with Lin Tian would make her lose even more face.

Bitong was suddenly caught in a dilemma, and one can imagine how bad and awkward this big star’s mood was.

"Mr. Lin, please have some juice." Tian Xiaotian poured Lin Tian a cup of iced sour plum juice, hesitated, and filled Bitong’s cup as well.

While the assistant served Lin Tian, Bitong tidied her hair and naturally sat down, avoiding appearing abrupt and finding an excuse to sit.

"Mr. Lin, oh, no, I should call you Lin, if you want me to change my mind, you can start by fixing the air conditioner. It’s a university, is this how you treat special guests?" Bitong said with slight sarcasm.

The accusation was rather exaggerated, but Lin Tian remained unmoved, casually responding, "How does our school treat you? After the air conditioner broke, we offered iced juice and a private fan, while outside there are many performing students sharing one fan, without iced sour plum juice, only sweat..."

"Humph..." Bitong snorted slightly, interrupting Lin Tian: "How can they compare to me!"

Lin Tian smiled casually, "What if the news reported tomorrow that Bitong came to Jinghua University to perform, threw a tantrum over the broken air-conditioner, enjoyed drinks and fans alone, and unreasonably cut the program just to shorten her waiting time..."

"Oh, right, I’m not a journalism major, so my news writing might not be professional; maybe those professional journalists would embellish it further. I wonder what Miss Bitong thinks of such entertainment news." Lin Tian said calmly, but to Bitong, it sounded quite unpleasant.

In fact, Lin Tian’s words were already very tactful. If entertainment journalists wrote it, they’d exaggerate tenfold, claiming to damage the century-old school’s cultural atmosphere, sully the civilized land, and so on. These entertainment journalists often have no limits in what they write.

As someone in the entertainment industry, Bitong clearly understood the reasoning inside, and Lin Tian’s point immediately made her realize.

"Are you threatening me?" Bitong gritted her teeth.

Lin Tian shrugged indifferently, "If you insist on thinking so, then it’s a threat."

"By the way, I know your entertainment companies have PR departments to remove negative news, using methods like hiring ghostwriters or coercing and pressuring people to change their narratives. However, these tactics don’t work on me. You can let your backing company try if you doubt it, but I can’t guarantee the results." Lin Tian spoke calmly, so calmly that Bitong felt a chill.

Bitong’s expression changed, thinking about many things: the airport incident, Young Master Yun, an important figure, the Yun Family...

Thinking of the Yun Family, her face darkened further, her backing company is large in the entertainment world, but compared to the Yun Family, it’s like an ant. If she angered the Yun Family, the company would not hesitate to set her aside.

Such things are too common in the entertainment industry; a red-hot star can be sidelined, and the company might promote another person within a month.

After a long silence, Bitong said expressionlessly, "They’re just ordinary students; why did you stand up for them?"

"I’m not that noble; I stood out because you said something wrong." Lin Tian said coldly.

Bitong was stunned and asked, "Which sentence?"

"You said the guqin performance program was just amateur level; it’s that sentence. You can say it about anyone, but not her." Lin Tian said dominantly, without reason, nor did he need to explain. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Bitong glanced at the program list on the table, reading aloud, "Guqin performance by Xiao Manxuan."

Lin Tian didn’t respond, saying lightly, "Miss Bitong, have you decided?"

"For the sake of the Yun Family, I’ll do as you wish this time." Bitong unwillingly said.

Lin Tian looked at her, stood up and walked out; reaching the screen, he turned back and smiled, "Miss Bitong, to show our university’s humanistic care, I give you a suggestion: have your bodyguards buy a dozen bottles of iced mineral water and tie them behind the fan; that effect will be better than the air conditioner." After speaking, he left, regardless of her expression.

Upon reaching outside, the sound of bottles hitting the ground came from behind the screen, followed by Bitong’s suppressed angry curses: "What the hell, a red-hot celebrity like me suffers like this here, it infuriates me. Investigate, go and check what background this Lin has!"

"Sister Bitong, if Mr. Lin really has ties with the Yun Family, investigating him might provoke them." Tian Xiaotian said quietly.

"What do you know, and you dare to instruct me!" Bitong said angrily, followed by the sound of a slap, a hand striking a face.

Though Lin Tian had walked far away, he heard everything that happened inside clearly, the assistant kindly reminded, obviously Bitong was in a rage, not listening and even hitting the assistant girl.

Lin Tian shook his head, guessing that this female assistant had endured such treatment before. Why she stayed with Bitong is another question.
