Chapter 192
Starry Sky Kindergarten was thriving.
Previously, Noble Kindergarten could still compete with Starry Sky Kindergarten. But recently, Starry Sky Kindergarten seemed unstoppable, causing even Noble Kindergarten to back off.
Being in the spotlight constantly might have offended some people.
Recently, a provocative post suddenly appeared.
"Starry Sky Kindergarten is truly shameless. They'll stop at nothing for publicity, even bringing in academicians and scientists to give public lectures to children."
"Let's not even mention how unlikely it is for such high-level experts to come to a small kindergarten to teach children."
"Either this is all fake, or there's some strange deal going on."
"Besides, what can children of that age understand anyway?"
"They've lost all shame in their pursuit of appearing high-class and sophisticated."
"What's most annoying is how Starry Sky Kindergarten is always marketing itself. Eight out of ten times I scroll through news, it's about this kindergarten. I beg this kindergarten to calm down a bit; it's really making me physically disgusted."
This malicious message surprisingly received 5,000 likes.
Netizens didn't hold back: "If you don't like it, just don't look. Are you saying that just because you don't like it, it shouldn't exist? What are you, an emperor?"
"Moreover, you shouldn't say such ignorant things without doing a bit of research. If you doubt the scientists' identities, you can easily search online. These experts are all there, many even have positions at universities. These scientists contribute to our country, and just because you don't like marketing, you're putting such a vicious label on them. Is that fair?"
"My cousin works in operations, and he says Starry Sky Kindergarten has hardly ever bought trending topics. It just naturally trends, what can anyone do about it?"
"You don't like seeing it, but who are you to decide if the public likes it or not?"
"It's really hard to imagine someone harboring such malice towards a kindergarten."
The person who posted this, unable to argue against so many people, became angry and embarrassed. They blocked and deleted all the rebuttals, keeping only those that supported them.
As a result, the comment section quickly turned toxic.
It seemed like everyone was criticizing Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Moreover, this person was obsessive. Despite being criticized by so many, they not only refused to delete the post and apologize but became more excited, creating several videos in succession.
They dug up past events related to Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Especially the incident where He Lingfeng was once called a genius.
After so much time had passed, there wasn't much buzz about it online anymore.
Only faint traces could be found in old reports.
This person immediately seized on this point and began to attack: "Huh, claiming he's a genius, a 5-year-old child who can learn middle school courses? Why don't you just say he can fly?"
"Do you think I'd believe such a thing? If there really was such a genius, with Starry Sky Kindergarten's marketing prowess, they would have promoted it everywhere. Why hide it?"
"Not letting these people show their faces says a lot!"
"Parents who send their children to this kind of kindergarten, where everything from top to bottom is focused on marketing and quick success, how can they provide good basic education?"
The attacks became increasingly vicious.
The scientists giving lectures to the children were even caught in the crossfire.
These scientists came to Starry Sky Kindergarten to research the gaming pod.
The gaming pod hadn't been successfully developed yet.
But they were very comfortable here.
Every day they enjoyed meals prepared by great chefs, and they could play a few games.
They could experience cutting-edge technology.
Not just the software, but also the hardware, like the one-piece wire drawing process.
Current technology can hardly achieve this level.
Combined with Starry Sky Kindergarten's generous hospitality.
Children are the hope for the country's future, and planting a seed of technology in these children's hearts was something the scientists aspired to do.
This time, they conducted some introductory experiments, which unexpectedly received a good response.
Many children had already begun to show interest in science.
They wanted to explore the mysterious space and the calm underwater world.
This was much better than children being addicted to online streaming and imitating streamers' catchphrases.
The detractors completely missed these positive aspects.
Instead, they felt that these scientists weren't focusing on their research and were collaborating with the kindergarten for publicity, which was annoying.
Shen Wei had the System helping to monitor online public opinion.
As soon as this incident occurred, she was the first to know.
With Doctor Lu also there, the others in the kindergarten quickly found out as well.
Shen Wei was thinking about how to counterattack.
This time, even the scientists were implicated, and she couldn't tolerate it.
Just as she was furiously writing a rebuttal,
She heard the System's alarm beeping.
Shen Wei immediately went to check.
He Lingfeng had posted a clarification video.
In the video, a serious-faced little boy was looking at the camera.
He had appeared in live streams before.
But it was the first time he faced the camera alone, so he was a bit nervous.
The more nervous he got, the more serious his little face became.
Little did he know that such a reaction from a child his age was extremely adorable.
He Lingfeng said: "I've seen some comments about me online. First of all, I haven't just completed middle school courses, I've already finished high school courses!"
He then showed a video of himself taking a real high school exam, which after grading scored over 530 points. The entire process was only sped up without any cuts, even the grading was done live.
This score isn't considered exceptional at the high school level.
Many students can achieve higher scores after solid studying.
But considering he's only a 6-year-old boy,
And this was last year's exam paper,
The number becomes terrifyingly impressive.
He Lingfeng said: "If I were to take the exam again this year, I predict my score wouldn't be lower than 600."
"Starting tomorrow, I'll begin a series of math lectures, based on middle school and high school knowledge."
"Also, I hope those haters will stop criticizing Starry Sky Kindergarten."
"The kindergarten has helped many homeless children like me. It's not like you imagine, focused only on marketing every day."
"If anyone doesn't believe what I'm saying, they can directly connect with me online tomorrow. I know one shouldn't fall into the trap of self-justification. But the internet is a terrifying environment. If you don't prove yourself, you'll be trampled under dirty water, forever bearing a bad name. I don't want that."
"The kindergarten principal has already shielded me from a lot of harm. This time, it's my turn to protect her."
As the words fell, the child looked solemnly at the camera. His eyes sparked with determination. It was truly quite moving.
It was only a one-minute video.
Posted on an account named He Lingfeng, but tagged with the Starry Sky Kindergarten topic, so anyone searching would see this video.
As a result, fans in the livestream room were really excited. Many had watched this child grow up.
Especially the older fans who could still recall. They used to think He Lingfeng didn't fit in, but later learned that this child's intelligence was much higher than others. It was difficult for him to play with peers. But the fact that he could learn high school curriculum still shocked people.
"My internet son is so smart, I couldn't help but kick my biological son who scored 18 points when I saw him."
"I've long heard that He Lingfeng has strong learning abilities, but I never expected him to score so high on the college entrance exam. I must come to the livestream room tomorrow to see."
"'This time it's my turn to protect you.' It's hard to imagine such a touching line coming from the mouth of a 6-year-old child. He's truly a born protagonist."
Shen Wei was also speechless after watching, truly moved by the little villain she had raised.
