"Shocking news! Breaking news!" Wang Fang ran all the way back to the dormitory, out of breath, but still anxious to tell everyone the news she had just learned.
"Speak slowly, why are you in such a hurry?" Fu Baoer handed over a glass of water. "What's the matter? Why are you so excited?"
Wang Fang drank a few sips of water to calm down before telling the teacher what she had just seen in the teacher's office. It turned out that one of the postponed exams was held for students with special circumstances, and it was discovered that someone had taken the exam for someone else. The school was furious and wanted to punish severely!
If that were all, Wang Fang wouldn't have been so agitated. Liu Ting was impatient and kept asking her questions. Wang Fang pointed at Zhao Lingrou's empty bed in a mysterious manner and said, "The one who hired someone to take the exam for her was none other than our beautiful Zhao."
"What the hell!" Liu Ting was shocked. Zhao Lingrou was too bold. "Are you sure you saw that?"
Wang Fang couldn't have been mistaken. Even though she was just passing by the office, she could hear the voices inside. Zhao Lingrou's uniquely affected voice was very familiar to Wang Fang. "She even apologized and cried, begging the teacher to forgive her. Zhao Lingrou almost fainted, clutching her chest."
"Ah, isn't Zhao Lingrou's entrance score pretty good? Why does she need someone to take the exam for her? This exam doesn't seem that difficult." Fu Baoer didn't quite understand. Those who can be admitted to Capital University are all very outstanding. No matter what, they wouldn't need someone to take the exam for them.
Qian Beibei thought of something when she heard this. "Someone in our hometown association discovered a boy who had good grades when he got in, but he copied every assignment from someone else and couldn't understand a thing in class. I heard he was later reported for replacing an educated youth from their village and attending university!"
This kind of thing is quite common. Fu Baoer heard from Daya that there was an imposter in their class. "Could it be the same for Zhao Lingrou?"
No wonder she never does her homework. She avoids class activities whenever possible, and pretends to be weak if she can't. She even made an excuse to postpone the exam this time. Everyone reasonably guessed that there must be something wrong with Zhao Lingrou!
At the same time, in the principal's office, Zhao Lingrou had been crying for two hours, her eyes were red and swollen. Zhao Jian had just arrived and was carefully apologizing to the principal.
Zhao Lingrou was really scared. The girl she paid for was from an ordinary school in the capital. She looked somewhat similar to her. With makeup and dressing up, it was difficult for people who didn't know her to tell them apart. But she didn't expect that this girl didn't have good grades either and actually cheated in the exam!
They were caught by the teacher, who traced the clues and exposed Zhao Lingrou. Then the two of them were unlucky as they happened to catch the principal inspecting the exams. There were not many people who had to defer their exams, so their deeds became particularly conspicuous.
Since this is the first year that the college entrance examination has been resumed, cases of cheating and taking the blame for others are rampant. The president of Shouda University hates such behavior the most. It is dishonest and hypocritical and must be severely punished!
"The evidence is irrefutable regarding Zhao Lingrou's case," Principal Ma said, unable to bear Zhao Lingrou's sobbing. "According to the regulations, inform the entire school and expel Zhao Lingrou. You don't need to say anything more."
This cheating incident was serious and had a bad impact, so it was impossible not to expel the student. If Principal Ma had not learned that Zhao Lingrou's identity information and test information were true, he would have suspected that she had replaced someone else to go to college.
"Principal Ma, please give Ling Rou another chance. She's been feeling unwell and hasn't reviewed enough. She's worried about failing the exam and not being able to explain herself to us, so she's taken this wrong path." Zhao Jian was also anxious and stopped Principal Ma from leaving. "If the child is expelled, I'm really worried that she will do something bad to herself..."
Zhao Jian winked at Zhao Lingrou, and Zhao Lingrou immediately fell to the ground, holding her heart. It was three parts true and seven parts false, and she was really a little panicked.
Principal Ma was furious. Isn't this just blackmail? Can someone do whatever they want just because they're in poor health?
"Are you blackmailing me? Blackmailing the school?" Principal Ma didn't leave and sat back in his chair. "If everyone is like you, always using illness as an excuse, then we won't be able to run a school anymore. We might as well just open a hospital."
Zhao Jian helped his daughter up. He was helpless. "Principal, please be merciful. As long as you don't expel us, we will accept any punishment!"
Zhao Lingrou swayed. She didn't want to bear the impact of public opinion caused by the school-wide announcement...
"Principal... I won't dare to do that again." Zhao Lingrou cried out with genuine emotion. Why did this incident happen just because she hired someone to take the exam for her? She was so unlucky!
Zhao Jian took out Zhao Lingrou's hospital diagnosis and said, "The child does have a heart disease, Principal Ma. She can't stand any stimulation. Last year, because of her hard work in reviewing, she almost got into trouble. It was really not easy for my daughter to get into Shougang University. Please give her another chance because she is still young."
Their expressions remained calm and their lies were told as if they had really happened. Zhao Jian and Zhao Lingrou knew very well that it was not a glorious way for them to enter the gate of the capital.
Principal Ma sighed, not knowing what to do. If he was pushed too far and something really happened, his reputation would be ruined. You know, people nowadays sometimes don't care about right or wrong, they only care about whether the weak are bullied by the strong.
However, if he didn't expel them, there was no way to sound a warning to all the students, and Principal Ma was in a dilemma.
"You guys go back first. I will discuss the outcome of Zhao Lingrou's treatment with other teachers." Principal Ma decided to kick them out of the office first.
Zhao Jian knew that he couldn't push her too hard, so he took his daughter home first.
It was not until a few days later, when all the students' grades were counted, that Zhao Lingrou's decision on the matter finally came out.
Fu Baoer ranked first in her major and was listed on the honor roll of their school. Following her were Han Jintang, Liu Ting... Wang Fang, Qian Beibei and Fu Junlan also had good results and were all in the top 20.
Next to the honor roll was Zhao Lingrou's notice.
"Zhao Lingrou was given a serious warning for cheating?"
"When did she take the exam? I don't think I saw her."
"She cheated during the deferred exam, but I heard people say she took the exam for someone else..."
There is no wall that is impenetrable. Even though the school issued a notice, there were still many people who knew about the incident and spread the story vividly about what happened in the principal's office that day.
"Isn't this a blatant threat? Is the school just going to give in like that?"
"What can we do? If something really happens to her, no one can afford to compensate her. It's a life!"
Fu Baoer felt that this was also expected. Although a serious warning was lighter than expulsion, it was still recorded in the file. She had to be with Zhao Lingrou for the rest of her life, and when she graduated and was assigned a job, she probably wouldn't have a chance.
But Fu Baoer always felt that things were not that simple. Zhao Lingrou hadn't actually taken someone else's place in university? Then why was her personal ability so weak?
