Chapter 106 The heroine was expelled from school
Seeing that the principal looked worried, Teacher Lin gave him a timely reminder.
"Principal Sun, I think Xu Niannian has serious problems. Not only did she plagiarize and cheat, she also deliberately destroyed a classmate's notes and tried to prevent Wen Zhu from competing normally. This has seriously affected the school's reputation!"
Teacher Lin is Wen Zhu's homeroom teacher, so naturally she stands on her student's side and speaks for him. Some things must be settled!
Regardless of whether Wen Zhu did well in the competition, the old accounts that need to be settled cannot be left behind.
Wen Zhu looked at Teacher Lin with gratitude, Teacher Lin, you are my God!
It's simply her strongest support.
Some words, when spoken by her as the person involved, are naturally not as convincing as those spoken by a bystander.
In particular, Teacher Lin is not only a teacher, but also a recognized good teacher in the school. She can expose Xu Niannian’s shameful behavior, and the effect is maximized.
Reporter Lu was furious when he heard that Xu Niannian was not only not Wen Zhu's friend, but was even trying to prevent Wen Zhu from participating in the competition.
"I hope Principal Sun will deal seriously with this student Xu. Otherwise, how will Linshan Town Middle School explain this to the outside world?"
Principal Sun was also very angry. "Of course, of course, I will definitely deal with this matter seriously. As for the newspaper, Reporter Lu and Reporter Zhang, you can handle it as you please. Just follow the procedures and regulations. Although Xu Niannian is a student of our school, we will never condone such vile and shameful behavior!"
Reporter Lu nodded. "We're relieved to hear that. The original author of the manuscript is already going through the legal process and will probably file a lawsuit soon against Xu Niannian for copyright infringement."
Wen Zhu's eyes lit up with excitement.
Principal Sun thought Wen Zhu was crying out of grievance, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, Wen Zhu, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
Wen Zhu bowed gratefully to the principal, Teacher Lin, and the two reporters.
After explaining the general situation, Wen Zhu was led by Teacher Lin to be interviewed by two reporters from Huaxin Newspaper. Then, in the afternoon, he would be interviewed by other newspapers.
Principal Sun notified a meeting to discuss how to deal with Xu Niannian.
The meeting was held during the lunch break and all the teachers on duty attended.
Most teachers voted to expel Xu Niannian.
Only a small number of teachers, led by Class 3 (2) teacher Mr. Yan, felt that such a punishment was too severe for a third-year junior high school student.
Teacher Yan is in his forties, but his hair is already gray. When he heard about Xu Niannian, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
"Principal, can't we give her another chance? She's only in her teens. It's not easy for a rural girl to get into the third grade of junior high school. We all came from that era, so you should know best how difficult it was for her to get to the third grade.
I've been taking care of her for almost three years, so I understand her somewhat. Her family is incredibly difficult: her father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't care for her, and she has a younger brother to take care of. She simply wants to change her fate and leave the countryside.
I really couldn't bear to watch her drop out of school like this. I promise, from now on until the high school entrance exam, I will keep a close eye on her and she will never do that again!
A male teacher analyzed rationally and opposed Teacher Yan's point of view.
"Teacher Yan, you are a good teacher with a cold exterior but a warm heart. We know you can't bear to see her drop out of school, but look at what this student has done.
She deliberately destroyed her classmates' competition notes and tried to prevent them from taking the exam. She also behaved badly and published a false article. This is plagiarism. She is already 17 years old. Doesn't she know what she is doing?
No matter how pitiful she is, it cannot be a reason for her to hurt others or plagiarize!"
Another teacher stood up and said, "We can't condone her mistakes just because she's pitiful. She's still a student, and she can do such things. If she goes to high school, college, and enters society, she will be committing a crime!"
The teachers who had originally sympathized with Xu Niannian's original family because of Teacher Yan's words also turned against her one after another, and finally only Teacher Yan was left alone, and still insisted that the principal would show leniency.
Just then, Principal Sun received another call.
His already ugly face became even darker than the bottom of a pot.
"Teacher Yan, there's no need to speak for her anymore. You're a veteran teacher and we all know your character, but this student might not be worthy."
Then Principal Sun told about the phone call he had just received.
The call was from the competition organizing department, informing them that someone had reported that "Xu Niannian" had asked someone to take the exam for him. Not only did he take the exam for her, but the person who took the exam for him might also be suspected of cheating.
The investigation team checked the identity information and found that the report of cheating was false, but they did find a deliberately small answer sheet in the gap under the table of Xu Niannian's seat in the examination room, which matched some of the questions in the competition.
So in the end, the competition team decided to cancel Xu Niannian's competition results and prohibit her from participating in the competition again.
After Principal Sun finished speaking, Xu Niannian's homeroom teacher, Teacher Yan, was completely deflated and she could no longer utter a word of pleading.
His eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment.
She tried her best.
But the result still made her unbelievable.
When did this student, who was originally eager to learn and relatively well-behaved, become like this?
It was as if it was during one of the morning readings, her eyes were sometimes frightened and sometimes ecstatic, and she no longer stared at her book.
Teacher Yan fell into deep self-blame. If she had talked to her more and guided her properly, would the result have been different?
Teacher Yan himself doesn't know.
When Xu Niannian learned that she was expelled from school, she became petrified.
Teacher Yan knew that there was no room for improvement, so he begged the principal for help and finally got the opportunity to pass on the message.
She thought that the child was a little timid and pitiful before, and often failed to pay her grain, but she always studied hard. She also said that she would rely on herself to leave the mountain village and see the outside world in the future.
Teacher Yan felt as if she saw her past self, so she was particularly strict with her, hoping that she could realize her dream.
She hadn't expected it to get to this point. She called Xu Niannian to a deserted corner on the third floor and told her about being expelled, wanting to save her some dignity.
Xu Niannian's eyes were sunken and dull, as if she hadn't slept well for a long time. She followed Teacher Yan to the third floor.
"Xu Niannian, the school already knows that you plagiarized your paper and that you harmed your classmates, so you're expelled. Also, how could you plagiarize in a competition? You're talented. I told you before that as long as you practiced the problems I gave you, you could enter the finals. Why didn't you listen?"
Xu Niannian's eyes were bloodshot, full of disbelief. Her mind was blank, with only that sentence remaining, "You're expelled from school."
"Actually, studying isn't the only path forward. The current situation is good, and you could start a small business, which wouldn't be any worse than taking the college entrance exam. It all depends on how you look at it. Teacher, I just hope you don't forget your original intention. Admitting your mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Xu Niannian seemed like a madman.
Seeing that she was very emotional, Teacher Yan reached out to pull her, but was pushed away by the frantic Xu Niannian.
Teacher Yan fell down and hit the corner of the wall.
"You did it on purpose! You just look down on me. It doesn't matter whether I have studied or not. I don't believe you! Wen Zhu is so good, but he is not your student. What a pity, isn't it? Hahaha."
