Chapter 17 Stealing Questions
Lin Xi was sitting under the podium in the first row. There was a camera facing right here, almost taking a close-up of Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's every move was seen very clearly.
You can see her quickly looking at the questions, reviewing them, and answering them.
All the actions were in order and there was nothing suspicious about them.
The math teacher suggested, "Let's switch to Thursday afternoon so I can see how she does the math test."
Lin Xi's math improved so much that even with tutoring, he was still a little skeptical.
The scene quickly cut to Thursday afternoon, and it was clear even at 1.5 times the speed. When Lin Xi was doing the multiple-choice questions and some fill-in-the-blank questions, he rarely did any calculations. Sometimes he would just think for a moment and then fill in the answer.
Teacher Zhou suddenly realized, "I see. Lin Xi knew the questions ahead of time! That's why she scored so high. Look, she didn't even need to do any calculations, she just wrote down the answers. It would be strange if she didn't know the questions ahead of time."
Teacher Yu's face darkened. "That's not the way it's supposed to be. Some questions are so simple that you can tell the answer at a glance. You don't even need to calculate!"
Teacher Zhou sneered, "You're not a math teacher, what do you know? The facts are all there, and you're still trying to argue. I don't know how she got the exam questions!"
The math teacher touched his chin and said nothing. Although the video was sped up a bit, Lin Xi's answering speed was indeed a bit too fast.
The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office also took it seriously at this point, "That's a possibility."
Teacher Yu was furious. The Chinese teacher said, "I have a different opinion. Lin Xi's composition was quite brilliant. It's no problem to give her full marks. I even deducted one point from her score. Even if the topic was leaked, it doesn't mean she can write at this level!"
Teacher Zhou shouted, "She can ask someone to write it in advance!"
"Stealing the test questions, it must be stealing the test questions. The Academic Affairs Office must conduct a thorough investigation and must not encourage this unhealthy trend!"
The history teacher tried his best to clarify a few words, repeatedly emphasizing that Lin Xi's grades were usually very good.
The people in the Academic Affairs Office were in a dilemma. What everyone said made sense, and they didn't want to accuse the students of cheating.
Cheating will definitely result in punishment, and this punishment will be recorded in the student's file and will follow her for the rest of her life, which will have a great impact on her future.
Besides, they are not criminal investigators, so where should they start to investigate the leak of the exam questions?
The math teacher, stroking his chin, suddenly spoke up, "I think it's better to do this. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and Lin Xi is usually an excellent student. The school can't accuse her of stealing questions without any evidence at this point. If this affects the students' mood, no one will be held responsible if something happens."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the teachers nodded repeatedly, and even Teacher Zhou fell silent.
Some time ago, a senior high school teacher at No. 18 Middle School criticized a student for a few words, and the student became upset and jumped off the building. Although he was only injured, the teacher was also suspended.
Today's students are the apple of their families' eyes. They have poor resistance to setbacks and it is not easy to criticize them casually.
The math teacher continued, "I think we should do this. Let's not mention cheating for now. This matter hasn't been finalized yet. I'll find two difficult math problems for her to do. If she can solve them, it means her level is real. What do you think?"
The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office nodded and said, "Okay."
The other teachers remained silent.
Teacher Zhou also taught mathematics. She sneered, "Okay, but I'll come up with the questions!"
The math teacher nodded and said, "Okay, you come up with the questions, but let me test her so she doesn't get upset."
Teacher Zhou quickly opened his phone, found the question bank he had collected, selected two questions, and sent them to the math teacher.
The math teacher frowned after reading the problem. "This is too difficult! This is a competition question. It takes a whole class period to solve one problem."
Teacher Zhou snorted. "How can we tell her level if it's not a bit difficult? If her perfect score in math wasn't exaggerated, then this level wouldn't be much of a problem for her."
Teacher Yu was anxious. "No, I don't agree. How can we make a competition question? Lin Xi has no training in this area. How can she solve it?"
"If you're going to have questions, make sure they're as difficult as the ones in this mock exam!"
Teacher Zhou sneered, "Feeling guilty?"
"A student who can score 741 points must have an IQ far exceeding that of the average person. You have to know that in the past few decades of the college entrance examination, students who can reach this level are rare, one in a billion!"
"You admit this, don't you?"
Teacher Yu nodded reluctantly, feeling that Teacher Zhou was setting a trap for her.
Teacher Zhou continued, "If she's truly such a genius with such a high IQ, two competition questions wouldn't be enough to stump her! Don't you agree?"
Teacher Yu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say in rebuttal.
The math teacher nodded beside her. "I think that makes sense. How about this? The next period is math class, and I'll personally watch her do the problems."
The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office also nodded in agreement.
The math teacher turned and went to the printing room and printed out the two questions.
The Chinese teacher and Teacher Yu returned to the office together. Seeing that she looked unhappy, the Chinese teacher smiled and said, "Are you worried about Lin Xi?"
Teacher Yu fumed, "I'm not worried about her. This child's academic performance aside, her behavior is absolutely flawless. I'm just pissed off at Zhou Meiren. She's willing to do something like slander a student just to save face!"
Although he said he was not worried, Teacher Yu was actually still worried.
Such a difficult competition question. Lin Xi is not good at mathematics to begin with, and she has never encountered competition questions before. How could she possibly solve it?
Teacher Yu felt regretful for a moment. She shouldn't have been led astray by Zhou Meiren. She should have argued with her and said that she couldn't accuse Lin Xi of cheating by stealing the questions without evidence.
She couldn't help but blame the math teacher in her heart, what a weird idea!
After a while, several teachers returned to the office.
The math teacher sat at his desk and looked at the two competition questions first.
It took me several minutes just to look at the questions. I had some idea of how to approach the first question, but I had no idea how to start with the second one.
It took me almost a whole class period to solve the first problem.
He shook his head and said to Teacher Zhou, "This question is really difficult, especially the second one. I can't figure it out for a while. I think we should change the two questions. This is too difficult for Lin Xi."
Teacher Yu's face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to respond, he heard Teacher Zhou say coldly, "It's normal that you can't solve it. You're not a genius who can score 741 points!"
The math teacher was so angry that he felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
