I turned around and looked at Linda. She looked as weak as a rabbit, but her eyes were full of malice. My intuition told me that she had dug a hole for me to jump into. But I wanted to try and see how deep the hole was.

I suddenly smiled and raised my eyebrows and said, "Okay, as long as I can help you, I can try. After all, you and my boyfriend are so destined to each other, right? Now we are still hugging each other!" Ethan froze and quickly let go, eager to explain to me. But I just glanced at him lightly and walked away without caring.

I contacted my dad and said that there was a play that I wanted him to watch for fun. He readily agreed. When I was about to tell Linda , she said in advance that this was for her after all, and she was embarrassed to let me worry too much, and she would decide the place for the negotiation. I raised my eyebrows and said indifferently, "Okay, you decide."

But I didn't expect that she would directly set the place for the conversation at the school's press conference. When I arrived at the place, looking at the reporters and students all over the place, I sneered. Linda pretended to be panicked and about to cry: " Sister Grace Smith , I didn't know that there was a recruitment fair here today!" "I just thought that this place is a public hall of the school, the venue is formal and it doesn't cost money. You know, I don't have the subsidy now, and I'm really..."

“I know.” I folded my arms and chuckled, admiring her clumsy tricks. “It doesn’t matter. Students and the media are concerned about subsidies for poor students anyway.” “You made a good decision.”

As soon as my dad appeared, the media reporters followed him, and they were all delighted: “Didn’t they say that today only an ordinary school leader came to briefly introduce the school situation?” “Why is Brian Brown here too?” “The principal has always refused to accept media interviews, but today he is here!”

My dad sat down in his seat, frowned and asked me in a low voice: "Didn't we say we were going to watch a show? Why..." But I comforted him with my eyes and sneered: "Just look, the show will soon begin."

Linda came over, bowed deeply, and said seriously: " Hello Brian Brown ! I am the only student in our school who receives a poverty subsidy." "Since I enrolled, I have cherished this opportunity very much. I have used all the subsidies I received on my personal learning and growth, and I dare not waste a single bit." "But recently, due to unknown reports, you revoked my subsidy." "I don't know, how did I offend you..."

There was an uproar below. Linda immediately covered her mouth, as if she had accidentally let it slip. She looked around in panic and said, "Oh no... No, you and Grace Smith , the chairman of Smith family companies , must be innocent... No, no, they must be good people who care about our students." "I believe you and Grace Smith must have your own considerations on this funding issue." "It must not be you and Grace Smith who have joined forces..."

Before she finished her words, the screen in the middle of the hall suddenly lit up, and pictures scrolled on it - I sat in the passenger seat of Brian Brown's car, I entered the same house with Brian Brown, I went to Brian Brown's office to find him, and I emphasized it in black bold font. The door was closed for a full half hour. Finally, there was a photo of me kissing Brian Brown on the face because I was too excited.

Suddenly, all the flashbulbs in the venue lit up one after another. Linda stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at me, her eyes full of malicious intent after success.
