The midterm exam results came out quickly, and as the saying goes, some were happy while others were sad.
Unexpectedly, Ye Huanhuan achieved first place in the entire grade in this assessment, and not only that, she also received a scholarship of 10,000 yuan.
When Wen Zhe announced the news in class, all the students present were in an uproar.
"What! Ye Huanhuan is actually the first place?"
"How is that possible! She's been either on leave or absent lately, and she's just a transfer student. How could she possibly have this kind of ability?"
"Do you think Ye Huanhuan might have cheated? After all, she's the eldest daughter of the Ye Group and has the Tang family as her backing. With that kind of background, it should be very easy for her to get the answers secretly, right?"
"That's right. If that's the case, it's so unfair to the other students. We study so hard every day, and we're not even as good as someone who got first place by cheating?"
"Ugh, it's disgusting. People like this shouldn't stay at home and be pampered princesses. They have to come to school and compete with poor students like us for scholarships. I'm speechless."
"Yeah, and she always acts so high and mighty, never taking us seriously. I just can't believe she got first place!"
All the students couldn't help but start talking, and their voices grew louder and louder, as if they wanted to overturn the entire classroom.
Ye Huanhuan sat quietly in the corner, looking at the book in her hands as if nothing had happened, as if all the discussions had nothing to do with her.
"Okay, everyone, quiet down."
Wen Zhe patted the table, signaling the students to quiet down.
"The exam papers were all sealed and graded by the teachers of each subject, so there is no possibility of cheating. Therefore, we hope that everyone will refrain from making wild guesses."
"But Professor Wen..."
One of the boys couldn't help but say, "Ye Huanhuan often takes leave, where does she find so much time to study? It's really suspicious that she got first place this time."
Wen Zhe frowned. He knew these classmates were resentful, but he couldn't prove that Ye Huanhuan had gotten first place by cheating.
So he looked at Ye Huanhuan and said, "Ye Huanhuan, could you share your study methods with everyone?"
Ye Huanhuan raised her head, glanced at Wen Zhe, then at the classmates around her, and said calmly:
"I'm sorry, I don't have any special study methods." After saying that, she lowered her head and continued reading.
"Pshaw, who would believe that?"
One girl curled her lip in disdain, "She definitely paid for the answers!"
“Yeah, she might have even bribed the teacher!” another boy chimed in.
Cheng Yue, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and angrily stood up to defend Ye Huanhuan, saying:
"What exactly are you people jealous of? Who gave you the courage to accuse Ye Huanhuan of cheating? Did you see her cheating with your own eyes? The proctors were so strict, and you all thought Ye Huanhuan was cheating, so why didn't anyone expose her then? Now that you see she got good grades, you start questioning her abilities. What is this if not jealousy? Is it so hard for you to acknowledge someone else's excellence?"
However, some girls in the class who had long disliked Ye Huanhuan said sarcastically:
"Class monitor, we were just expressing our thoughts, we didn't say that Ye Huanhuan definitely cheated, why are you so nervous?"
Another girl chimed in, "That's right! If that's the case, then let her prove herself with her true abilities! After all, cheated grades will always be exposed eventually, right? If she's really capable, why would she be afraid of our gossip?"
Cheng Yue was about to speak when Ye Huanhuan stopped her. Ye Huanhuan looked calmly at the girls and slowly said:
"You just want evidence, right? Fine, I'll prove it again during the final exams. If I'm still number one then, you'll all have to apologize to me in front of the whole class."
Someone retorted, "If you want to prove it, prove it now. You're always absent and on leave; who knows if you'll even be there for the final exams!"
"Exactly! Prove it now if you're going to!"
Ye Huanhuan frowned and looked at the man, asking, "Then how do you want me to prove it?"
Just as everyone was arguing, Wen Zhe, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. His expression was serious, and his voice was low as he said:
"Proving this is actually very simple. I'll go and get the original midterm exam questions from the past few years right now, and have you do them again. If Ye Huanhuan can still get first place this time, then it will fully prove that her grades are indeed earned through her own abilities, and there is no cheating or luck involved. In this way, you will no longer have any doubts or dissatisfaction with her grades."
After saying that, Wen Zhe turned and left the classroom to go to the office to retrieve the original exam questions.
Soon, Wen Zhe retrieved the test papers and distributed them to his classmates.
"One hour time limit, start answering questions."
The students all picked up their pens, but Ye Huanhuan remained motionless.
"What, too scared to write anything? Are you afraid we'll find out you actually got your grades by cheating?" the girl who had just questioned him mocked.
Ye Huanhuan glanced at her indifferently, her eyes filled with disdain. She calmly picked up her pen and began to carefully fill in the answers.
"Time's up, hand in your papers."
Wen Zhe put away the test papers and called four teachers to help grade them.
In less than an hour, the results were in, and Ye Huanhuan was still in first place.
Upon seeing this result, those classmates who had previously questioned Ye Huanhuan fell silent.
Wen Zhe looked at Ye Huanhuan, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"It seems that Ye Huanhuan is indeed truly talented. Now you believe it, right?"
Those classmates who had questioned Ye Huanhuan fell silent, and their gazes toward her gradually shifted from disdain to admiration.
Ye Huanhuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
She knew that she had already proven herself with her abilities.
Cheng Yue looked at Ye Huanhuan with admiration and whispered:
"Ye Huanhuan, I never knew you were a hidden academic genius!"
Ye Huanhuan gently tapped Cheng Yue's forehead and replied, "If you could put half of your energy into studying, you could also be a top student."
Just when Ye Huanhuan thought the matter was over, a post on the campus network titled "Reporting Ye Huanhuan for Cheating in the Midterm Exam and Getting First Place" quickly attracted the attention of all teachers and students at S University overnight.
