When Yuan Mengge was sitting in the classroom, there weren't many people there, because the teacher said that students could come a little later this morning, so the other students would arrive later.
She came back last night, went to the Hu family's house, spent the night there, and came out with Hu Yuanyuan early this morning.
After arriving in town, they ate breakfast and then went to school.
Today is the day the results are released, and the school did not prevent parents from coming in to see them.
So Hu Yuanyuan followed Yuan Mengge in, and the two were reading novels in the classroom.
Suddenly, she heard a student standing at the classroom door calling her: "Yuan Pingping, Director He wants to see you in his office."
Yuan Mengge was somewhat surprised that she had been called down alone.
Aren't grades usually handed out in the classroom? Why are you suddenly calling her to the office?
"What's wrong? Why are you being called to the office? Aren't you supposed to be handing out report cards in the classroom?" Hu Yuanyuan looked at her with some confusion.
Yuan Mengge stood up and said, "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling."
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Upon arriving at the office, she walked to He Qingfeng's desk and said, "Teacher."
She noticed something was off about He Qingfeng's expression as soon as she came in, and it seems her premonition was right.
He Qingfeng made her sit down, then looked at her seriously and asked, "Aping, why did you think before... that your grades might have been switched?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge raised an eyebrow and said, "Looks like I've fallen for it, haven't I?"
He Qingfeng took out her graduation certificate and handed it to her.
The graduation certificate is a small red rubber booklet. Inside are Yuan Pingping's exam results for the past three years and evaluations for each semester.
Yuan Mengge took it and flipped directly to the last page.
She smiled the moment she saw the results.
“321? That number is quite interesting…” She smiled, but her gaze turned cold.
He Qingfeng looked at her, somewhat speechless, and said, "How can you still laugh? Do you think this result is real?"
Yuan Mengge said, "Of course it's not true. Even if I didn't perform well, I couldn't possibly have done this badly on the test."
He Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Are you sure? You said you marked it before, how do you know someone will definitely change your grades?"
Yuan Mengge shrugged and said, "I didn't say I would definitely be replaced; I was just taking precautions. I didn't expect to actually get caught. Should I go and buy a lottery ticket?"
Looking at her calm demeanor, He Qingfeng said, "Why are you so calm? Your reaction... what are you planning to do?"
Yuan Mengge said, "Of course we need to investigate! I want to see who dared to steal my grades!"
He Qingfeng looked at her with some surprise: "You're just a kid, how are you going to investigate this? And if you want to investigate, you have to report it to the county education bureau, which involves a lot of things, and it's very troublesome to run around like that, plus you don't have any evidence. Do you know what to do?"
Yuan Mengge said, "I know, it's okay, don't worry, teacher, I can handle this myself."
Hearing her words, He Qingfeng looked at her thoughtfully: "You want to solve this yourself?"
Does this mean you don't want him to get involved or help?
Yuan Mengge nodded and said, "Teacher, you don't need to worry about this. I can handle it myself."
He Qingfeng looked at her disapprovingly: "How are you going to handle this? These kinds of things are for adults to handle. You've had such a falling out with your family, they definitely won't help you with this."
From his perspective as an adult, this was not something a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl could handle.
“No, I’ll handle this. You come with me to the Education Bureau this afternoon, and I’ll report this to them,” He Qingfeng said, looking at her.
"Teacher, no need. Please don't get involved in this. I have someone to help me. Don't worry about these things. Just wait for my good news. Give me three days." Yuan Mengge stopped He Qingfeng when she saw that he seemed about to interfere.
Upon hearing this, He Qingfeng immediately frowned in displeasure and said, "Why won't you let me help you? I'm your teacher, if I don't help you, who will? Besides, I'm also very angry that my student's grades were changed!"
Yuan Mengge looked at him with some surprise upon hearing his words: "...Huh?"
Yes, she hadn't considered things from his perspective. A teacher would certainly be angry if their student encountered something like that.
However, she did not expect that He Qingfeng would care about her so much.
After thinking about it, she realized that this matter did indeed require an adult to step in. Originally, she had planned to have the Hu siblings help her, while she could investigate secretly.
Since He Qingfeng was willing to help her, she would just go along with him.
So she nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you this afternoon. But my sister wants to come with me too, is that alright?"
He Qingfeng nodded: "Okay. You can go now."
Yuan Mengge took her graduation certificate and returned to the classroom.
"What's wrong?" Hu Yuanyuan asked, sitting on her desk.
Yuan Mengge said, "Come with me to the county town this afternoon, I have something to take care of."
Hu Yuanyuan: "Hmm? What is it?"
Yuan Mengge didn't tell her much, only saying, "You'll know when you get there."
As the number of students in the class gradually increased, the teacher didn't need to spend too much time writing grades; he just had to copy the scores into the graduation certificate, since the comments had already been written in advance.
So the students didn't have to wait long. Soon the homeroom teacher arrived in the classroom with the graduation certificates and then glanced at everyone.
The parents all stood in the open space at the back of the classroom and watched.
"Those whose names are called, come up and get your grades," He Qingfeng said, and then began handing out graduation certificates.
Everyone had sent their messages, but soon everyone realized that no one had sent one to Yuan Mengge.
"Alright, you can go back now." He Qingfeng didn't say much more and let everyone go back after handing out the graduation certificates.
Then he said to Yuan Mengge, "Come to my house at 2 pm this afternoon. I'll go find someone to ask you what to do about that matter."
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Okay."
Hu Yuanyuan stood beside her and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Are you going to the county town with your teacher this afternoon?"
Yuan Mengge responded with a "Mm".
After leaving the school, the two of them went to Yuan Mengge's training room to wait.
It was Hu Yuanyuan's first time visiting her training room. She sat on her bed, looked at her, and asked, "Can you tell me now? What are you going to do in the county town this afternoon?"
Yuan Mengge then told her about how her grades had been switched.
"What?! Is that true?!" Hu Yuanyuan exclaimed in surprise, then angrily added, "Who did this?! Who did this? Why did they pick on you instead of someone else?!"
