Chapter 35 Suspected of Cheating, I Have Conditions
When the news reached Class 3 of Grade 12, Jiang Fuyue was not there.
"Say it again, who's first?"
"Jiang Fuyue!"
"?"
"Impossible!" Li Xue slammed the table and stood up, her eyes filled with shock and a distorted expression.
"It's written on the list. Oh, by the way, you're last."
Li Xue: “…”
While everyone was amazed, Wan Xiutong remained calm.
It was as if he had anticipated this scene, and at the same time, admiration and pride arose spontaneously.
It feels like...
The idol I support has finally been seen by the whole world, and everyone has discovered this great treasure!
"Where is she?" Liu Bowen turned around and glanced at Jiang Fuyue's seat.
He was the second calmest person besides Wan Xiutong. After all, he had seen someone score perfect marks on math and physics tests before. The key point was that she had finished early and fell asleep on the table!
Isn’t that infuriating?
Wan Xiutong: "Teacher Meng called him away and he hasn't come back yet."
"Which Teacher Meng?"
"Class 7's head teacher."
Liu Bowen's eyes darkened, as if he was thinking about something.
The morning passed with discussions about grades, the advancement and decline of rankings, and Jiang Fuyue defeating Ling Xuan and taking the top spot with an overwhelming advantage of full marks in all subjects.
Logically speaking, Jiang Fuyue should have been at the center of the storm, but he just ate, drank, and slept as usual, without any sense of being a "god".
She did not shy away from those looks of surprise, inquiry, or suspicion.
Want to see it, right?
Okay, feel free to look at it. It won’t hurt you anyway.
Wan Xiutong: So cool!
Liu Bowen: This is what a master does.
In the afternoon, some rumors began to circulate.
It was very secretive at first, but after a night of fermentation, it had already snowballed the next day.
"Jiang Fuyue cheated? That's impossible... She got full marks on the test, who could she have copied from? I didn't see anyone else get full marks."
"I don't believe you're naive, but she peeked at the test paper in advance and already knew what was going to be tested."
"That's not right. I heard she stole the answers and memorized them to get a perfect score."
"But the forum clearly said it was because the teacher leaked the test..."
There were all kinds of speculations, countless slanders, and even statements like "raising a little ghost" and "asking the god for exams" emerged.
A big discussion about how Jiang Fuyue cheated was launched through various channels.
And these people never thought about the possibility that "she did not cheat" from beginning to end.
Getting full marks in all subjects, not a single wrong question, not a single point deducted, what does that mean?
Even a blind cat catching a dead mouse is not so lucky!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take writing as an example, as writing essays is something that everyone has their own opinions on. How could she get everything she wants?
This is true for Chinese and English as well.
Could it be that she alone has accounted for all the "coincidences" in the world?
Oh!
Li Xue secretly clenched her fists, not even noticing her nails digging into her palms. Her lowered eyes were filled with sinister intent, but a harmless smile slowly curled up at the corners of her mouth.
The rumors became more and more intense and outrageous, and finally alarmed the school.
"Jiang Fuyue, come out for a moment." Zhao Tiejun went to the door and called for help.
At that time, she was in chemistry class and all eyes were on her.
The girl calmly stood up and walked out of the classroom.
Zhao Tiejun gave her a serious look and said, "I know you're a sharp talker, but you should also know when to be smart and when not to be smart."
After saying that, he strode ahead.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. Is this person... reminding her?
…
Administration building, principal's office.
Jiang Fuyue thought that the matter would at most be handed over to the grade level for handling, but she didn't expect that the principal would be alarmed and have to step in.
It seems that things have really gotten out of hand.
"Student Jiang, do you know why you were called here?" Hu Yongwei had a cold face and inexplicably majestic look.
"I guessed a little." Jiang Fuyue's expression was indifferent, and she didn't fall for the other party's "using power to suppress others" trick.
Hu Yongwei looked at the face of the little classmate in front of him, which was even more serious than his own, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well...what do you say?"
"I didn't cheat."
"How do you prove it?"
Jiang Fuyue's face was expressionless: "What do you think I need to prove?"
"Some people said you stole the test paper, some said you stole the answers, and some said the teacher leaked the test paper."
Jiang Fuyue smiled.
The old principal suddenly felt offended and said in a cold tone, "I don't think there's anything funny about what you just said."
Even though Zhao Tiejun had a strong mental state, he couldn't help but gasp.
Jiang Fuyue was fine, and kept smiling.
"I find it funny," she said. "The funny thing is, don't you ask yourself before you say these things?"
Hu Yongwei was stunned: "...What do you mean?"
"If exams and answers are so easy to steal, shouldn't the school's security be improved? If teachers can easily leak exam questions, shouldn't teacher ethics education be strengthened?"
No matter which of these speculations is true, it will be accompanied by dereliction of duty by the school!
"When that time comes, it won't be a question of whether I cheated or not."
Hu Yongwei's eyelids twitched.
Zhao Tiejun couldn't help but glance at Jiang Fuyue. Wow, the little girl remained calm and composed, even the principal was speechless.
What's the big deal about being comforted suddenly?
"You say you didn't cheat, but it's useless for us to believe you. We have to leave all the teachers and students in the school speechless. Do you understand?" His tone slowed down a little, changing from questioning to negotiation and communication.
Zhao Tiejun was secretly surprised... Is he bowing his head?
Jiang Fuyue's expression softened slightly: "I can prove that I didn't cheat, but I have one condition."
"You still claim to be innocent, yet you're trying to negotiate terms with the school?" The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Student Jiang, isn't this inappropriate?"
"My innocence is the reputation of the school."
“…” Fate had its throat strangled.
The corners of Zhao Tiejun's mouth twitched: How dare you say such shameless words!
"What conditions?"
"Thoroughly investigate the source of the rumor."
"Then?"
"I want the perpetrator to apologize to me in front of all the teachers and students in the school. Whatever punishment is to be done will be strictly in accordance with the school rules."
Hu Yongwei pondered for a moment. Rumors are something that is both difficult and easy to investigate. The key lies in the attitude of the school: are they really willing to investigate, or are they just going through the motions and letting the matter go unsolved?
"Okay, I agree. Tell me how you want to clarify."
Jiang Fuyue: "Post my test paper and the reference answers together for public display. It will be clear at a glance whether I copied or not. As for the leaked questions, even if I knew the test questions in advance, who can guarantee that I will get full marks? If there is, then I will accompany him to take a new test, choosing any subject."
She spoke extremely arrogant words in a calm tone, yet she looked calm and composed.
After Jiang Fuyue left, Hu Yongwei asked, "Do you know what to do?"
Zhao Tiejun nodded.
During the break, Jiang Fuyue's test papers for each subject, along with the standard answers, were posted under the red list for everyone to review.
Zhao Tiejun raised his hand and pressed it down, and the surroundings became quiet.
"Here are Jiang Fuyue's test papers and the reference answers for each subject. If you still have objections to cheating after reviewing them, please come to my office before school ends this afternoon to register. These students will retake a new test tomorrow morning with Jiang Fuyue under the supervision of the invigilator. The papers will be graded and issued immediately."
