Chapter 215: Public Punishment, Find Xie Dingyuan (Update 1)
Lin Yuan's crying, accompanied by the unpleasant discussions around her, made Lin's mother's temples throb.
Embarrassment, embarrassment, shame, anger...
All kinds of emotions surged up, and the woman's face looked like an overturned palette, with green and red mixed together.
"I said there was a reason for the zero score, and sure enough."
"If they cheated in competitions, who knows how they'd cheat in regular exams!"
"Luckily he was discovered. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our country to allow such a person to be selected for the national team?"
"What on earth is this kid thinking? Now she's asking someone to take the exam for her. Will she be allowed to do the same in international competitions later?"
"Whatever. Let's just make the national team first. Why bother with international competitions? The worst that can happen is I'll just hand in a blank paper or find some excuse to say I didn't perform well and get away with it."
"What does she want?"
"Of course it's for the sake of reputation, and it also gives you extra points for the college entrance exam! Don't forget, in the second half of the year, all the major universities will be recruiting students independently. Anyone who has participated in such an international competition, regardless of whether they won a prize or not, will definitely add a brilliant touch to their resume."
"Just for this, she can disregard national honor? Should I call her stupid or evil?"
"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. If the mother is like that, the daughter will be like that too."
"Alas, that woman was so pretentious and aggressive right from the start, and now she's getting what she asked for. I wonder how she feels right now?"
"Originally, this matter could have been resolved more quietly. The head coach tried desperately to give the kid a chance. But unfortunately, the mother was too controlling and turned a viable situation into a dead end."
"I'm just wondering, how imaginative must this person be to come up with a plot like 'taking the blame', something you'd only see in a TV series? Come on, it's 2005 and 2002. The higher the level of the exam, the more emphasis is placed on teacher development. Competitions like the NOI and IOI simply can't have any rigged results. After all, the students selected will be sent on international tours, and it's easy to tell who's a mule and who's a horse. Even if there's such an idea, it's not practical at all..."
Parents were discussing it, and classmates were whispering to each other.
"I was wondering why Lin Yuan always explodes during exams, yet completes her homework terribly. Turns out she hired someone to do it for her."
"That gunman is pretty good too, just like Sister Yue, he always gets full marks on the exams."
"NO! There is a gap between full marks. Please look at the time when the two people submitted their papers. Thank you!"
"She's really too bold. Should she be criticized now?"
"I don't know. It depends on how the coach handles it."
“…”
Since the incident was exposed in public and Lin Yuan's behavior was indeed bad, the head coach could not give her a lighter punishment.
Of course, he doesn't want to be "lenient" now.
When living in this world, there are some lessons that cannot be taken lightly. One must experience and endure them before one can understand the feeling.
Especially those mistakes of principle.
Previously, considering that Lin Yuan was still young, they didn't want to do anything too extreme; but now it seems that any "reserve" would be indulgence to her.
That's not love, that's harm!
So in the end, the coaching staff discussed and decided that Lin Yuan’s cheating would be criticized by the entire camp, and she would be given a demerit, banned from competition for two years, and her record would be kept in her student file.
A farce ended here.
Some people take advantage of the wind to soar to the sky; some people enjoy participating and gaining knowledge; but some people fall to pieces and it is unclear whether they can get up again.
According to regulations, this notice and punishment will be reported to Lin Yuan's high school, Linnan No. 7 Middle School, in the form of a confidential letter on the second day after it is issued.
If nothing unexpected happens, when school starts in September, the whole school will know that she cheated in the five scored assessments of the NOI summer camp.
Since the punishment will be recorded in the file, it may even affect the college entrance examination in the future.
Only then did Lin's mother realize the seriousness of the matter: "Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry! Why didn't you think of today when you were cheating? You have the guts to do it, but you don't have the ability to cover it?!"
Lin Yuan huddled on the sofa, buried her head in her knees, and let out a suppressed sob.
Until now, she didn't dare to recall how she walked out of the classroom under everyone's gaze yesterday.
The contempt and disdain in the eyes of her classmates and parents, as well as the heaviness and regret on the faces of several coaches, were like sharp thorns piercing her heart.
Father Lin patted his daughter on the back and said earnestly: "Yuanyuan, it's okay. Although we made a mistake this time, we will learn from this lesson and won't do it again..."
"What do you mean it doesn't matter?" Mother Lin interrupted her husband, her eyes blazing with anger. "Now that something so serious has happened, you're still telling her it doesn't matter? Then what does matter? Murder and arson? That's how you spoiled your daughter, little by little!"
"Liu Lan! Stop being unreasonable! Now that it's happened, what good will it do to hit and scold her? You should guide her properly now, let her realize her mistakes and won't make the same mistake again. Also, what do you mean by spoiling my daughter? You talk nonsense all day long, sometimes comparing her to your eldest sister-in-law, sometimes praising your third sister-in-law. It's because of your wrong words and deeds that Yuanyuan's three normal views have been affected."
Mother Lin's brows furrowed, her anger growing even stronger. "Are you so bold? You dare to yell at me?!"
The usually gentle man was unexpectedly tough this time: "Liu Lan, I've had enough. If you continue to make trouble and beat or scold Yuanyuan, I will -"
"Oh, what can you do?" the woman sneered.
"I'm going to divorce you." He was calm and rational, and he wasn't joking.
The woman was stunned: "You..."
"From now on, I will teach Yuanyuan, and you should stop interfering. Otherwise, I will keep my word and draw a clear line between us, even for the sake of my daughter."
Now the woman was quiet.
That afternoon, Lin's father went to University B to meet with the head coach, apologized, and promised to discipline his daughter and restrain his wife in the future.
"...I accept your apology, but since the disciplinary action has already been publicly announced, it cannot be rescinded. I hope you understand."
Father Lin said sincerely, "Yes, I understand. I won't embarrass you."
That night, the family of three left the imperial capital and returned to Linhuai.
I came here with great enthusiasm two days ago, but now I have to leave in despair.
As for what happened next, Jiang Fuyue no longer paid attention. To her, Lin Yuan was just a stranger.
There are too many passers-by in a person's life, and there is no need to remember every one of them.
"...Then am I also considered a passerby?" Shen Qiannan walked over and sat down opposite her.
Jiang Fuyue ended the call and handed him the menu: "Whatever you want to drink, take your pick. It's my treat."
"Hey, isn't your behavior now called—showing kindness when there's nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief?"
"Sorry, you made a mistake."
"Um?"
Jiang Fuyue: "I am trying to please you, I am not a traitor or a thief."
"Oh?" Shen Qiannan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that your cup of coffee is not tasty?"
“You have to try it to know whether it tastes good or not.”
"Isn't it too late?" he laughed.
Jiang Fuyue: "Don't worry, it's just a small matter. For you, it's just a matter of moving your fingers."
"Tsk, now you know how to call me senior brother?"
I've never seen someone so sweet-mouthed.
Jiang Fuyue said confidently, "When asking someone to do something for you, of course you have to be nice. Otherwise, why would they agree?"
"Little girl, you're not bad. You're even this aware? I'll give you 100 points. I'm not afraid of you getting too proud!"
"So what do you think of my attitude now, Senior Brother?"
Shen Qiannan nodded and responded casually: “It’s good.”
"Well, I'll take it as your agreement then."
Shen Qiannan: “!”
"No... ahem... what did I promise?"
Jiang Fuyue: "Help me with something."
Shen Qiannan: Damn! I got tricked.
"Your latte." The waitress's sweet voice came.
Soon, the coffee was placed in front of Shen Qiannan, and the aroma filled his nose.
"I... haven't ordered yet..." Why is he here?
Jiang Fuyue: "Iced latte, one-third sugar cube."
Shen Qiannan had a strange expression: “How do you know my habits?”
"Attitude, asking someone to do something for you."
"Ahem...why do I feel like you're chasing me?"
Jiang Fuyue said expressionlessly, "Actually, you don't have to add sugar anymore from now on."
"ah?"
"If you consume too much sugar, you will easily gain weight. When you gain weight, your face will become particularly large."
Shen Qiannan: "..." He felt that something was implied.
"Alright, alright, considering you're so attentive and, uh, have a pretty good attitude, tell me, what's the matter?"
Jiang Fuyue: "I'd like to borrow the key to Lab A1 again. Don't worry, I'm not doing any experiments. I'll just go in and copy two sets of data. It'll only take a few minutes."
Jiang Fuyue originally had no intention of including the two sets of data in the paper, but one of the PRL reviewers questioned a conclusion in the paper, and she needed the two sets of data as evidence, so she wrote back to the other party.
"But the key is no longer in my hand." Shen Qiannan spread his hands, "I want to go find Xie Dingyuan."
