And this itself is problematic. Even if Coach Zhang didn't mention it, he would have investigated it thoroughly.

As soon as Xie Shizhu sat in the car, his tears disappeared.
The next day.
The news that Tang Yin and Lu Ci were both admitted without taking the entrance exam spread throughout the campus.
As soon as Xie Shizhu sat down, she heard Yuan Bo beside her speaking up for her.
"How did Lu Ci, the middle child, get the recommendation for admission? That's not right. Tang Yin can understand it, her father is the principal." Yuan Bo said indignantly as he opened the breakfast he had prepared for her. "I say, you and Lu Ci should stop talking. Having me as your friend is enough for you."
Yuan Bo brought her some fried dough sticks and soy milk and handed them to her.
Xie Shizhu took it, took a bite, and said, "It's okay."
Yuan Bo didn't expect her to be so calm, and stared at her in surprise for a long time.

At noon, Xie Shizhu went to the teacher's office and happened to meet Lu Ci.
She was helping the teacher move the papers, but Lu Ci was standing in front of the head teacher of the next class, saying something.
The young man had a straight back, was handsome and slender, and had black hair hanging down to his ears. Under the sunlight from the window, his hair was coated with a layer of golden light.
His cold face was tense and he seemed to be in a gloomy mood.
As Xie Shizhu was sorting out the papers, he heard the teacher next door ask in disbelief, "Lu Ci, are you kidding me? You just said you don't want this place?"
The boy's voice was low and firm: "I won't take what's not mine."
Xie Shizhu's fingers froze as he sorted out the papers.
The homeroom teacher was stunned. "Why isn't it yours? You've always been second in the grade, and this time you took second place in the city, just behind Xie Shizhu. It's normal for you to have a spot."
The head teacher knew what Lu Ci meant, and he felt that he had obtained Xie Shizhu's place.
But Lu Ci's name was already on the list, and Xie Shizhu didn't get it because her place was taken by the principal's daughter.
There's nothing we can do about it, since the two girls have different fathers.
"I said I don't want it." Lu Ci repeated solemnly.
This was the first time he took a tough stance towards his head teacher.
The head teacher opened his eyes wide, as if realizing he was serious. He was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Okay."
As Xie Shizhu held the test paper in his arms, he heard the answer from the head teacher not far away.
She was so shocked that she lost her grip on the test paper and it fell to the ground.
The rustling sound made two people not far away look at her.
The two men only realized later that Xie Shizhu was in the office.
Lu Ci was slightly stunned. He looked at Xie Shizhu for a while, then awkwardly withdrew his gaze and clenched his fingers hanging on both sides into fists.
Xie Shizhu bent down to pick up the test paper, sorted it out, and hurried away.

the next day.
Lu Ci never brought breakfast to Xie Shizhu again, and Xie Shizhu never asked.
The happiest person is Yuan Bo.
The corners of his lips were curled up and could not be lowered. He did not go anywhere during the break and would feed Xie Shizhu a snack from time to time.
When Tang Yin entered the classroom, her back was straighter than usual.
She raised her chin, but her smug expression immediately sank when she saw Xie Shizhu and Yuan Bo standing close together.
A second later, she sneered, walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Tang Yin thought that Yuan Bo and Xie Shizhu were not from the same world. Her father and Yuan Bo's father were just friends. No matter how good their relationship was, they could only be friends.
But, she has a place in the admission list.
Thinking of this, Tang Yin smiled again.
But the smile only lasted until the afternoon.
In the afternoon, people from the Education Bureau came and stayed in the principal's office for a long time. When they came out, Tang Yin was told that there were no more places for direct admission.
Before she had time to feel sad, she watched her father being taken away by the Education Bureau's car.
Then she heard some talking.
"I heard the principal did something outrageous and snatched a student's admission quota for her daughter..."
"Yes, yes. Just now, when I was eavesdropping in the principal's office, the people from the Education Bureau said they were going to remove the principal..."
Before the two of them could gossip about the truth, they heard a sharp voice coming from behind them.
“Nonsense!”
Tang Yin's face was filled with disbelief, her eyes red as she angrily shouted at the two students, "Stop talking nonsense!"
The two students were startled and looked at each other. One of them was more courageous and said, "If I was talking nonsense, how could your place be removed?"
This rhetorical question left Tang Yin speechless.
Another day passed, and the spot originally reserved for Tang Yin suddenly fell to Xie Shizhu.
This directly proves that Tang Yin did indeed snatch Xie Shizhu's admission quota.
And it was her father, the principal, who did it.
This made other parents of students very dissatisfied. With such a principal, how could fairness, justice and openness be ensured?

In the afternoon, the school held a large movie viewing.
Changhai High School is well-equipped and has its own cinema.
There is a movie viewing every month.
Each grade is in a different theater.
So the entire second year of high school gathered in a theater.
Because you are free when watching a movie and you can choose your seat at will.
Yuan Bo was outside buying water for Xie Shizhu. When he returned, he saw that the seats belonging to him and Xie Shizhu were blocked.
The matter of Xie Shizhu and Tang Yin's admission quota caused a lot of controversy, and she had become a celebrity among students who represented justice triumphing over power.
Most people in the school dislike Tang Yin, but since her father is the principal, they can only tolerate it.
Xie Shizhu’s incident directly stopped Tang Yin from causing trouble.
Many people admired Xie Shizhu a little, so everyone wanted to sit with Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu stared at the crowded group of students, and suddenly she realized that Lu Ci was also in the middle.
No way, is she so popular?
Xie Shizhu upholds fairness and will never engage in shady dealings. He will not give the opportunity to sit with him to Yuan Bo, Lu Ci or Shao Lesi.
She coughed lightly and said to the group of students who were jostling each other, "Everyone, please don't crowd. I'll be very sad if anyone gets hurt, okay?"
