Chapter 405: – The Powerful Netizens
When Lin Jin checked the comments section of the A Site's Welfare Institute video again, she suddenly realized just how powerful netizens could be.
In the pinned comment, Lin Jin saw a user's comment about the Love Welfare Institute.
"I've come across the Love Welfare Institute before and even learned a bit about it. You can easily find negative news about the institute on the internet, so I'll just talk about the director here.
The director is probably in his eighties now. He was born into a wealthy family in the 30s. In the 70s, his family was broke and he ventured into business. Over ten years, he accumulated quite a bit of wealth. In the 80s, his son was kidnapped. As someone who had a child late in life, he decided in the 90s to establish a foundation and the Love Welfare Institute, which has existed till now.
Above is what I saw in a newspaper interview from the year 2005.
In my opinion, although there's a lot of negative news about the welfare institute, every time something bad happens, the director is always in the hospital and never at the institute. So, the negative stuff doesn't really have much to do with him. Yeah.
As long as the director stays involved, the money donated to the Love Welfare Institute should go to where it's supposed to."
There were quite a few replies under this comment. Anyways, most of them were calling the director a good person and wishing him a peaceful life.
Well, Lin Jin didn't expect that someone could actually remember an interview article from a 2005 newspaper.
Because of that comment, a lot of netizens were asking in the comments how they could donate. Some local netizens were even talking about forming groups to volunteer at the welfare institute or something.
Anyway, Lin Jin felt that most of these netizens who were impulsively deciding to volunteer because of the video probably wouldn't last long.
She didn't continue paying much attention to the comments section. Anyways, Lin Jin knew that after these two videos, she could probably barely count as a somewhat well known channel on A Site. But it was completely useless to be famous on A Site as the objective the black cat gave her was to become a popular public goddess.
In the A Site comments, some people had already started calling her a goddess. Saying stuff like she danced so seductive and well, that she was practically a perfect goddess, and so on.
Who knew what kind of thought process these people had for them to say such things.
Monday, for Lin Jin, was just a day where she couldn’t sleep in. She wasn’t very interested in class every day and felt like she spent most of her mornings in a daze. Only in the afternoon did she feel like her life had some meaning…
Lin Jin suspected that after she graduated, no company would want her because her technical skills wouldn’t be up to par.
But with all her random skills, she shouldn’t have too much of a problem finding a job, right?
In class, Lin Jin switched her phone to the app, opened the tasks list, and found that the weekly tasks had already been refreshed.
The requirement of the task was to become a top student…
Well, if this kind of task were to be given to Wen Xuan, then he would definitely be able to complete it easily. But for Lin Jin, a person with zero desire to study, it was simply a disaster.
This was terrible, okay! It actually wanted a person who hadn’t seriously studied since their early teens to become a top student!
And this task wasn't a short term one that was over in just a week. The black cat’s requirement was to stay as a top student all the way until graduation. The reason was that was a goddess, it felt she couldn’t have any shortcomings…
Alright. She had just been worrying about being unemployed after graduation, but now she didn’t need to worry.
The task reward was photographic memory, meaning that after the task was completed, Lin Jin would become a naturally gifted academic master. It was basically a cheat skill. Compared to the memory bread from before, this photographic memory was a god tier skill.
However, she had to wait until graduation to get the reward.
Since this was a long term task, the black cat naturally also issued a more short term weekly task. This task had already been issued yesterday afternoon when Lin Jin returned from the welfare institute. The general idea was to raise 100,000 yuan in donations for the welfare institute.
Motherf*cker! Just hearing it sounded difficult, okay?!
The reward was also simple and straightforward, just ensuring that the 100,000 yuan in donations would actually be used for the children in the welfare institute instead of being embezzled.
Lin Jin actually cared quite a bit about this task. She planned to formally accept the director’s proposal to film a promotional video for the Love Welfare Institute and list all the donation methods in the video.
In that case, Zhu Dong as the cameraman was indispensable.
“Zhu Dong" During class, Lin Jin ignored the teacher who was giving a lecture. She walked directly to Zhu Dong’s side and said in a low voice "We need to shoot a promotional video for the welfare institute. These days you'll still need to come with me a few times."
Zhu Dong didn't object and simply nodded in agreement: "No problem, I really like those kids anyway. Even if we weren't filming, I'd still go."
"I didn’t expect you to actually be this kind of person, huh?" Lin Jin couldn't help but say what she’d been holding in for a long time. "I always thought you were just some small gangster. Who would've guessed you actually like children?"
People who liked kids couldn’t be bad people.
At least, that's what Lin Jin thought.
"Small gangster? I guess I was before." Zhu Dong laughed, there was actually a bit of shyness in his laugh.
"Look at Wu Min. He says it depends on the situation when he goes in the future. Anyways, he wouldn’t come with us every day." Lin Jin shrugged. "I totally misjudged that Wu Min guy. I thought he would totally like kids."
After trashing Wu Min a bit behind his back and confirming with Zhu Dong that he would indeed join her for the filming, Lin Jin returned to her seat, yawning as she tried to focus on the lecture.
However, it didn’t seem to be of much use.
Maybe it was because it had been too long since she seriously paid attention in class, but Lin Jin found it hard to concentrate. She would always think of other things when she listened. If she forced herself to concentrate on the lecture, then she would just manage to stay attentive for a few minutes before feeling sleepy again.
This long term task of becoming a top student was simply unbearable.
She sighed, and after trying to focus for another ten minutes, she finally couldn’t take it anymore. She slumped her head onto her desk and closed her eyes with a look of despair.
So sleepy.
Maybe it was because she hadn’t paid attention in the previous classes, she couldn’t understand much of what the teacher was saying now.
She felt that maybe she was just not suitable for studying. Although her grades in elementary school were good, it was just elementary school. How many top students in elementary school ended up slowly degenerating into failures in middle school, high school, or even college?
After finally getting through to the end of class, the once miserable Lin Jin instantly became spirited and bounced out of the classroom. She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside and all her sleepiness instantly vanished.
That teacher’s lectures really did have a hypnotic effect! It wasn’t her fault she couldn’t focus!
With this in mind, Lin Jin, who had just been feeling a bit down because she couldn’t concentrate on the lecture, instantly cheered up.
Next up was the enjoyable eating time! She finally didn’t have to listen to that teacher’s endless babbling.
