Chapter 305 Instigating rumors

Wasn't it obvious that he was coming to confront me?

Mo Zhenzhen, who had something to hide, panicked immediately. If the two confronted each other, wouldn't they know that it was me who lied and deceived the leader?

Not only would I be punished, but I would also be branded as someone who lied and took revenge for personal gain, and I would lose face in front of Xia Qingli, whom I hated and looked down upon.

Just as Shi Yamin said "OK" and was about to leave the office, Mo Zhenzhen suddenly raised her hand and picked up the test paper on the table, pretended to take a look, and then hurriedly explained:

"Principal, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have picked up the wrong test paper. This shouldn't be the one Xia Qingqing did."

"Shouldn't it be?" After listening to Mo Zhenzhen's vague explanation, Principal Dong frowned even deeper and looked at her and said:

"Ms. Mo, as a teacher, are you so careless in what you say and do?"

Shi Yamin on the side would not give Mo Zhenzhen a chance to quibble. She turned around and pointed at the name on the test paper, looked at Mo Zhenzhen and said:

"Teacher Mo, you said that Xia Qingxi didn't write the test paper, so why is her name written on it?"

Mo Zhenzhen just wanted to find an excuse to stop them from looking for Xia Qingxi, and she didn't think about whether it was reasonable or not. When she heard Shi Yamin ask this, she couldn't find a suitable reason to explain, so she could only lower her head and stand there without saying a word.

"I guess Teacher Mo didn't want Xia Qingxi to teach at the school, so she deliberately switched the test paper." Shi Yamin didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her conclusion.

After hearing Shi Yamin's words, and looking at the arrogant Mo Zhenzhen, who had become so guilty, what else could Principal Dong not understand.

"I didn't." Mo Zhenzhen denied it without thinking. Until now, she still wanted to excuse her behavior. She looked at the principal and said,

"Principal, the test paper done by Xia Qingling was lost at that time. I was afraid that you would blame me, so I did this myself..."

"Okay, Teacher Mo." Principal Dong interrupted Mo Zhenzhen, and then continued,

"Don't treat me as a fool. If you really lost Comrade Xia's test paper by accident, and didn't use your power for personal gain or to settle personal grudges, why did you tell me afterwards that she had poor expression skills, did not do the questions well, and had bad handwriting?"

"I..." Mo Zhenzhen was speechless for a moment and couldn't find any words to refute.

"We often teach students to be honest and reasonable, and seek truth from facts. As teachers, we should set an example. Teacher Mo, you are a college student and a backbone teacher in our school, but what you are doing now really disappoints me." The principal said with great sorrow.

After Principal Dong finished speaking, he was silent for a while and continued:

"I will let Teacher Zhou teach your class for you. Go back and reflect on it for a few days, write a written review, and submit it to the school next week. As for the punishment for you, our school leaders will discuss it and then notify you."

"Principal, are you going to suspend me?" Mo Zhenzhen looked at Principal Dong in disbelief and asked.

In her opinion, she just made a small mistake, which was nothing compared to her teaching ability. The principal's punishment was too much of a fuss.

"I'm giving you time to go home and reflect on it." Seeing that she didn't realize her mistake, Principal Dong frowned even more.

Mo Zhenzhen pulled the corner of her mouth, obviously very dissatisfied with the principal's decision. She always felt that it was a waste of talent for her to teach in a middle school as a college student. Now she was suspended from her job and had to write a self-criticism for a junior high school student. It was simply a humiliation to herself!

Mo Zhenzhen suppressed her anger, looked at the principal, and said coldly:

"Okay, I'll go back."

After that, regardless of whether the principal had anything else to say, she turned around arrogantly, opened the door and walked out of the office.

Seeing Mo Zhenzhen's ignorant look, Principal Dong shook his head helplessly, then looked at Shi Yamin beside him and said:

"Teacher Shi, after class this afternoon, can you go to Comrade Xia's home? Help me notify her to come to the school for an interview tomorrow." After saying that, he added:

"I will meet in person this time."

Xia Qingling arrived at the Propaganda Department. Because she had been notified from above, someone came to receive her soon. She was asked to sit for a while and wait for Section Chief Zhang from the News and Propaganda Department to come and take her to the office.

At this time, Xia Guyu also walked over to the Propaganda Department. She had reported to the Propaganda Department last Friday.

The department arranged for her to write articles and take photos. She had done these things before in the newspaper office in North City. Now she was very familiar with them.

Seeing her walking in front, Lu Lijuan, who was walking behind with a few colleagues, quickly caught up with Xia Guyu and greeted her:

"Guyu, Guyu."

The yellow silk scarf Lu Lijuan was wearing around her neck was the last time she gave Xia Guyu chicken soup. Xia Guyu didn't want to owe her a favor.

Last Friday, Xia Guyu came to the department to report. Lu Lijuan acted very familiar with her, hoping that people in the department would misunderstand that she had a very good relationship with this big reporter from North City.

Today she brought this scarf with her, and just now she showed off to her colleagues, saying that this scarf was given by Xia Guyu.

Seeing that Xia Guyu was willing to give such a good scarf to Lu Lijuan, everyone was more convinced that they were very good friends.

Xia Guyu turned around and saw a few people, smiled and greeted them.

At this time, Lu Lijuan came up and took Xia Guyu's arm. She looked very intimate with her and said with a smile:

"Guyu, I just told everyone that you gave me this scarf. Everyone said it was beautiful."

Xia Guyu felt a little uncomfortable with Lu Lijuan holding her arm. After spending the past few days together, she found that Lu Lijuan was particularly fond of making connections. In her heart, she had already classified her as a good friend, but she thought that everyone would be in the department in the future, so she still had to maintain a superficial relationship, so she didn't pull her arm out directly.

Several people walked towards the publicity department together, talking and laughing. As soon as they walked into the lobby, they saw a very beautiful woman sitting there.

Xia Qingxi had told Xia Guyu yesterday that she would come to the publicity department to apply for a job today, so Xia Guyu was not surprised to see her here.

Considering that others might misunderstand that Xia Qingxi had some special connections in the department, Xia Guyu did not go up to greet her.

Several people walked through the hall and arrived at their respective posts. Xia Guyu packed up and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he went to the toilet. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a familiar woman's voice coming from inside. Xia Guyu listened carefully and recognized that it was Lu Lijuan's voice:

"See? The one sitting outside is the relative who was forced in."
