“…Okay, I understand.”
The director slumped down in his seat, feeling uneasy. He recalled what he had done before, making sure that there were no details he had missed before getting up and going to the Chinese Department.
"Director, you are finally here."
"I heard something happened."
"Yes, after the results came out, we felt something was wrong. Lin Jiaojiao herself came over and said her results didn't match, and she insisted on checking the papers. This check really did reveal the problem; her results were mixed up with those of Zhou Sisi, who came in fourth."
"Do their handwritings look similar?"
"Yes, the handwriting of these two children is very similar, but there are names on them, and the names have been changed."
The director became even more nervous: "What do you mean?"
"We guessed that this matter must be related to Zhou Sisi, but when we called him over just now, he refused to admit it and said, and said..."
"say what?"
"He said he came to the classroom alone for tutoring on Saturday and saw someone sneaking into the Academic Affairs Office. But as far as I know, you were the only person on duty at the time. You weren't in the office at the time? Did someone sneak in?"
"How is this possible! Could it be that Zhou Sisi is lying?"
"She said she didn't, but she was sure she saw it, and she even described the person's appearance in detail."
"What, what looks like?"
"They said it was a man, about 1.70 meters tall, tall and thin. Hey! He was about the same build as you. But the girl refused to tell me any more details. She just kept crying and finally ran out."
"When I look at her, I feel guilty!"
"Teacher Yang is right. I think so too. But after all, we don't have any solid evidence. What if that girl is telling the truth and later provides concrete evidence, or if she saw the man's appearance but didn't dare to speak out, what will we do if we wrongly accuse him?"
“…”
The director became more and more nervous as he listened.
He didn't even notice that there was someone at the door that day!
Zhou Sisi didn't dare to say it, but she must have seen it.
But he could hide it for a while, but not forever...
These people are still messing around and not thinking deeply about it. If we wait a few more days, it will be hard to say.
"Well, this is something that happened in the Academic Affairs Office, and I was on duty, so I have to take responsibility. You guys wait, I'll go talk to Zhou Sisi myself and see if there are any other clues."
"Then thank you for your help!"
"It's not a big deal, this is my job."
Student dormitory.
The director cleared the dormitory and looked at Zhou Sisi, who was looking at him warily with tears in her eyes. His heart sank. "I heard that you saw someone grading papers in the Academic Affairs Office that day?"
“…”
"Did you see what that man looked like?"
"No...I-I, I don't know!"
Zhou Sisi lowered her head quickly as if she had heard something terrible, tears falling from her eyes.
The director's expression grew increasingly grim, and he approached him step by step: "Are you sure you didn't see it?"
"I……"
"Never tell a lie."
"Dean, I was really wrong. I didn't mean to do it, but I don't want to be expelled! If this crime is really pinned on me, everything will be over. Please help me!"
At this point, the director was certain that the person in front of him was seeing him.
But this girl was too timid and didn't seem to think of using this to threaten anything.
This is the only thing that makes people feel fortunate!
Thinking of this, his expression softened a little: "I will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry."
"But they kept asking me about the face I saw, and I clearly..."
"Don't talk nonsense. What you saw that day was not me at all. Do you hear me?"
"But I'm obviously..."
"That's not me. I'm just organizing the papers."
"Why do you have to remove the seal when sorting the papers? The school has a rule that once the seal is on, not even the principal can open it casually."
The director looked at the stubborn girl in front of him, his face gloomy. "What? You want to sue me? Tell the school that I opened the seal and changed your grades. But who else saw it besides you? In their eyes, you're just a desperate dog that's biting wildly!"
"I didn't! I clearly saw it was you! I didn't lie!"
"Oh! Do you have any evidence? Besides, you just told them that someone sneaked into the office. Although the person you described looks exactly like me, you didn't say it was me. Now you're saying it's me again. Do you think they'll believe you, who's full of suspicion, or me?"
"..." Zhou Sisi's eyes gradually became firm: "So, the director admitted that he had changed, and he also wanted to take the blame on me."
"I know you feel wronged, but think about it. Now you just changed a grade. At most, people will talk about it, but you won't be expelled. But if this matter continues, not only will you change the grade, but you will also wrongly accuse your own teacher. The nature of the behavior is serious and you will be expelled. You are already a junior and will graduate in more than a year. Is it worth it?"
“Pah pah pah!”
“It’s really wonderful!”
Hearing the applause, the director turned around in fear and saw Lin Jiaojiao standing at the door, staring at him with a half-smile. He panicked instantly: "Why are you here? Can't you see I'm talking to classmate Zhou? Get out now!"
"Are you talking or threatening?"
"How dare you eavesdrop on us!"
"You guys were talking so loudly, it was hard not to hear. Besides, I wasn't the only one listening, so how could it be considered a secret?"
As Lin Jiaojiao finished speaking, teachers from the Chinese Department and several school leaders appeared at the door with grim expressions.
The director saw this scene and understood everything in an instant. He took a step back with a pale face and wanted to explain something, but he opened his mouth but didn't know where to start.
The school conducted a rigorous interrogation and investigation, and the truth soon came to light.
The director was fired and Zhang Yaxin was also expelled from the school.
After leaving school, Zhang Yaxin was in a daze every day.
I didn't have much money to begin with, and it was all gone quickly.
The hotel owner kicked the man out directly.
"You have no money and you're still staying in a hotel, bah! Get out of here, get out of here as far as you can! You're pretty, but I didn't expect you to do such a dirty thing!"
"You dare to scold me!"
When Zhang Yaxin heard these insults, she thought of the time when she was kicked out of school like a rat crossing the street. She rushed forward angrily and started fighting with the female boss.
The female boss was not someone to be bullied, so she called over immediately. Several employees beat the man up and threw him away.
Zhang Yaxin was beaten so badly that her whole body ached and she couldn't even stand up. She lay on the ground until the next morning before she recovered.
Passersby saw her pitiful appearance and threw a few steamed buns on the ground.
"Get lost! I don't want these things. I'm not a beggar!"
"Are you crazy? Eat it if you want or not, I'll take your kindness for granted and starve you to death!"
