I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

He nodded, his expression incredibly sincere: "You're right, that is indeed a problem."

Squad Leader Fan immediately looked at Lin Ran with a grateful expression, then quickly changed the subject: "Besides, think about it, the position of squad leader represents the image of the class. What will others think of Class Three if Lin Ran acts like this?"

Lin Ran frowned slightly: "You mean, he affected the class's reputation?"

"right!"

"How exactly does it have an impact?"

Squad Leader Fan paused for a moment, then said, "Well... people will be talking about it."

"Who's talking about it? What are they talking about? Are there any examples?"

Fan Fangxu opened his mouth, but realized he didn't seem to have any specific examples.

Someone nearby whispered, "I haven't heard anyone talking about it."

Another voice chimed in, "Yeah, isn't Class Three doing just fine?"

Fan Fangxu's face felt a little hot.

Even Lin Ran frowned: "Class Monitor Fan, it's normal that you're passionate about class work and can't stand people like Lin Ran. But when we discuss issues, it's best to base our discussions on facts and not let our emotions get the better of us."

Lin Ran has his own way of dealing with this kind of person.

He would keep encouraging people who made a big deal out of nothing to talk about the details. The more detailed they were, the more they would seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Ultimately, regardless of what the other person says, it's directly categorized as an emotional problem.

If the other party continues to persist...

Fan Fangxu's face flushed red: "Classmate, that's not how you put it. I'm only thinking about the students' work in our School of Economics. How can this be based on personal emotions?"

He felt that his performance just now was a bit embarrassing and wanted to argue back and win back the score.

"Besides, I've met Lin Ran before; he doesn't look like a student at all..."

He stopped mid-sentence, unable to continue, because he noticed that the kind classmate was looking at him with a very strange expression.

That look in her eyes, how should I put it?

It's similar to how Fan Fangxu viewed the village's mentally challenged people.

"Squad Leader Fan, you have a piece of chive stuck in your teeth."

The meeting room fell silent for a second.

Then someone burst out laughing, but quickly swallowed it back down.

Fan Fangxu froze on the spot, instinctively wanting to see He Yuwei's reaction, but not daring to look. He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and weld it shut.

Chives stuck in your teeth?

He did indeed eat chive dumplings for lunch today.

He talked to He Yuwei for a long time.

Could it be that when he stood up and spoke passionately just now, there was still a piece of chive stuck in his teeth?

Fan Fangxu's toes are so thick they're practically digging out a three-bedroom apartment.

He Yuwei and Sun Xiaoyu were also trying not to laugh.

Seeing Fan Fangxu's embarrassed expression, Qin Ya shook her head; his skill level was far inferior to Lin Ran's.

First, he made Fan Fangxu put himself on a pedestal, making everyone think he was making a mountain out of a molehill; then, with a casual remark, he shut him down completely.

Why did you provoke him for no reason?

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. Everyone, you may all leave."

She paused, her gaze sweeping around before landing precisely on the figure who had already sneaked to the door.

"Lin Ran, stay behind for a moment."

Lin Ran?

Fan Fangxu suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Ran, who was standing suspiciously at the door.

Is this person Lin Ran?

He had just said he had met Lin Ran, which made things even more awkward.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lin Ran simply stood there confidently and smiled at Fan Fangxu, who was shrinking back into the crowd: "Squad Leader Fan, thank you for your suggestion, I've taken it all into consideration."

Fan Fangxu's face went from red to white, and then from white to red again.

As Lin Ran passed by him, she suddenly stopped, turned slightly to the side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I didn't believe it when others told me, but it turns out their assessment of you was true, they weren't wrong."

After saying that, he continued walking forward without looking back.

Fan Fangxu stood there, stunned, wanting to say something but unable to.

Others? Their opinions?

He really wanted to ask Lin Ran what others thought of him, especially He Yuwei, but Lin Ran ignored him completely and walked straight towards the counselor.

As He Yuwei walked past him, she glanced at him but said nothing.

Fan Fangxu felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

After everyone else left, only Lin Ran and Qin Ya remained in the conference room.

Qin Ya looked at Lin Ran: "You seem to have it pretty easy being class monitor, huh? You don't do anything?"

Lin Ran sighed: "Teacher Qin, you don't know this, but my work is all done underground, without missing a single detail. It's just that you can't see it."

"Underground work?"

"Yes, for example, last month, although I didn't attend the meeting, I was with you in spirit. Another example is things that happened in the class; I just handled them in a low-key way, so no one knew about them."

Qin Ya was too lazy to engage in his banter and changed the subject directly: "I'm not here to interrogate you today, let's get down to business. Is there anything the academy can help with?"

Lin Ran blinked: "Did Dean Wang send you to ask this?"

Qin Ya was taken aback: "How did you know?"

"Oh, I haven't answered his calls for several days. This guy keeps trying to trick me into telling him things. I've already told him it's a trade secret, but he still won't give up."

Qin Ya: "..."

She suddenly understood why Wang Lijun looked so complicated when he mentioned this student.

Lin Ran pondered for a moment: "There really is someone who needs help."

"explain."

"Could we arrange for school leaders to come and visit our company?"

Qin Ya frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Lin Ran smiled and said, "It's nothing. We just wanted to show them the entrepreneurial achievements of the students from the School of Economics, and let them know how outstanding the students Dean Wang mentors are."

Qin Ya stared at him for three seconds: "Tell the truth."

Lin Ran stopped smiling and shrugged.

"It's the truth, but I do have some other little ideas, but I can't say them now, or they won't work."

Qin Ya sighed; she knew she wouldn't get any answers.

"Okay, I'll ask for you, but..."

"I also need your help with something." She took an envelope out of her bag and handed it to Lin Ran.

"This is for your brother. I forgot to bring it to his wedding last time, and I don't want to mail it to him. I'm afraid your sister-in-law might misunderstand. Could you please give it to him for me?"

Lin Ran took it, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be quite sturdy.

He casually ripped it a few times, tearing the envelope and its contents to shreds, leaving Qin Ya dumbfounded. "What did you do?"

"I'd be crazy to do that."

Lin Ran scoffed: "You two broke up so long ago, why send him a letter? Do you want him to remember you, or to remind him of you forever? I can't do that."

Qin Ya didn't say anything.

"I can't do this. My brother is doing well now, and my sister-in-law is a good person. What good would sending these things do besides making him overthink things?"

He rarely interferes in other people's affairs, but fortunately, Lin Feng is no stranger either.

Lin Ran felt that he was still qualified to intervene.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Qin Ya's gaze was somewhat complicated: "I was the one who wronged him back then..."

"There's nothing to apologize for. My brother already said that you both had your own difficulties back then. One of you wanted to go abroad, and the other had to support your family. Neither of you did anything wrong."

Qin Ya was taken aback: "He said that?"

"I did say that," Lin Ran nodded. "He said it was just that our time hadn't come yet, and he didn't blame anyone."

Qin Ya remained silent for a long time.

Looking at the scraps of paper in the trash can, she suddenly realized that some things should have been thrown away a long time ago...
