The moment they heard the sound, everyone turned around in unison.
They've all forgotten about Jiang Nian after what just happened.
The reporters who had been waiting outside the door immediately perked up.
Jiang Nian finally spoke!
But what did she mean by that?
[First place nationwide in the preliminary exam?]
[Didn't you cheat and copy that too?]
Who is "she" referring to?
Is Jiang Nian referring to Xia Lan, the daughter of the Xia family?
"Jiang Nian, are you crazy? How dare you slander me like this?"
Xia Lan was furious.
She had finally come up with an excuse, but Jiang Nian was the first to ruin it.
"You didn't even participate in our preliminary test, what do you know? How dare you accuse me of cheating? Do you have any evidence?"
Jiang Nian didn't even bother to look at her.
Holding the exam paper in his hand, he walked straight to Dean Qian's side.
"Dean, I have already compared Xia Lan's exam paper with the original answer key."
"It's basically just a matter of wording and subtle differences; it's clearly written based on the answer key."
These words shocked the entire audience.
It turns out that the test paper that Jiang Nian had placed on the table earlier was not the test paper for their re-examination, but Xia Lan's test paper for the preliminary examination.
So, when Jiang Nian was looking at the test paper while checking her phone, she was comparing it to the answer key to check Xia Lan's test paper?
Moreover, was it Dean Qian who told her to do this?
Xia Lan would never have imagined this.
Seeing the exam paper handed to Dean Qian, the three members of the Xia family panicked completely.
Xia Lan had ranked first in the preliminary exam, and it was her aunt in the Tsinghua University admissions office who leaked the questions and answers to her.
If it's confirmed that she got the answers in advance, it's not just a matter of her cheating alone; it could also ruin her aunt's reputation and destroy the Xia family's honor.
Therefore, she absolutely cannot admit to this.
Xia Lan gritted her teeth: "Jiang Nian, what right do you have to check my test paper? Just because you say I wrote it according to the answers doesn't mean I did!"
“You can deny it,” Jiang Nian said calmly, “but the admissions office has already conducted an internal investigation this morning and confirmed that the original questions and answers from the previous exam were indeed leaked.”
"Moreover, the deputy director of the admissions office shares the same surname as your mother, Jiang. It is said that she is your aunt."
"Enough!"
My aunt has already been found out!
Xia Lan was both shocked and frightened, and her whole body was trembling.
But in front of so many people, she absolutely could not show any guilt.
“Jiang Nian, you targeted me repeatedly when we were at Canxing, and now you want to accuse me of cheating.”
"Do you think you can act with impunity just because the Ji family is backing you up?"
It was clear that Dean Qian believed in Jiang Nian and was determined not to let her stay at Tsinghua University.
Even if Xia Lan can't stay herself, she'll drag Jiang Nian and Dean Qian down with her.
She looked directly at Dean Qian, trying to shift the focus away from the issue.
"Dean Qian, I never expected that you would send Jiang Nian, my former classmate, to investigate whether I cheated."
“You keep saying that students should be of good character, down-to-earth and principled, and you even used this as a reason to cancel our admission.”
"Then explain yourself: how did Jiang Nian, who didn't even participate in the preliminary exam, get into Tsinghua University's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Is it because she already knew you and had a close relationship with you?"
"Disqualifying us is just to make way for someone like her with connections? Don't you think what you just said is incredibly hypocritical and ironic?"
That's really bold of them.
Xia Changqing couldn't swallow this insult either.
He is, after all, the chairman of Mingxia Pharmaceutical.
He snorted coldly, "Dean Qian, since you're going to cancel my daughter's admission without even knowing the facts, then you should get rid of Jiang Nian from the Ji family first!"
"There are so many reporters waiting outside. Are you even disregarding Tsinghua University's reputation?"
Dean Qian was truly enraged by Xia Changqing's shameless behavior.
It was clearly his own daughter who cheated in the first exam by getting the answers through family connections, and then bribed someone to take the questions for her in the second exam.
Now you're saying others are favored by connections.
Mentioning Jiang Nian, the reporters blocking the corridor wished they could all rush in.
"Who said Jiang Nian got into Tsinghua University through my connections?" Dean Qian retorted. "Do you think Jiang Nian came to study Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
ha?
Wasn't Jiang Nian here to study Traditional Chinese Medicine?
"……What's the meaning,"
Xia Lan was taken aback. "Jiang Nian isn't here to study, so what is she here for?"
Surely she couldn't have come specifically to check Dean Qian's exam papers.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the classroom.
Unaware of what had happened, the reporters who had been focused on Jiang Nian suddenly seemed to have stumbled upon some major news, scrambling to move to another location. Holding their cameras, their eyes gleamed.
Even people from other departments of the medical school gathered here to watch the spectacle, and many of them were discussing it.
"Wow, there are so many people! What's going on?"
"I don't know, it seems like some important person has arrived."
"A big shot? What kind of big shot is making such a big fuss?"
"It seems to be our country's legendary chief TCM master, Master Gu Qingcheng, who has arrived. I heard that this batch of freshmen in the TCM department will be taught by Master Gu's only disciple."
"Damn, they're so lucky. To be associated with Master Gu's apprentices, they'll be able to do whatever they want in the field of traditional Chinese medicine after graduation, won't they?"
Ordinary traditional Chinese medicine practitioners may be criticized because of their age, experience, and medical practice experience.
But in the hearts of the people, the name Gu Qingcheng is equivalent to that of a modern-day Hua Tuo (a legendary Chinese physician).
Master Gu's personally trained apprentices are undoubtedly divine doctors. His students will certainly be first-rate as well.
They hadn't even met Master Gu's apprentices yet, but unexpectedly, they were greeted by Master Gu himself!
Upon hearing that Gu Qingcheng had come in person, Xia Changqing was terrified and forgot everything else.
A moment later, an elderly man with graying temples but a vigorous spirit, dressed in a Chinese-style blue button-down long gown, appeared at the classroom door.
Master has been in Diancheng all this time, hasn't he?
Jiang Nian didn't expect her master to come.
She was about to go to her master when Xia Changqing blocked her way.
Xia Changqing extended his hand to Gu Qingcheng, his voice filled with excitement: "Master Gu, hello! I am Xia Changqing, the chairman of Mingxia Pharmaceutical. I have always admired you, and today I am finally able to meet you in person!"
