The situation remained deadlocked both inside and outside the office, leading to a stalemate.
But at that moment, the loudspeakers on the playground and in each classroom suddenly blared, and Chen Jiaoyun's voice came through.
[Attention teachers and students: The following broadcast is a lesson on idioms, titled "The Boss Steals from His Own Hand."]
Next, Wu Huan and Wang Qin's voices came over the radio:
"Over six hundred yuan! Where did you get the money?"
...
[Wu Huan...you said we received so much class funds, could we borrow some?]
...
Why not just make whoever goes in after us take the blame?
...
[Ideally, it should be someone from another class, since you won't see them every day. Let them pay for it out of their own pocket, and you won't have to pay them back!]
...
"Oh, I see!" Everyone suddenly realized.
The two people still in the office were at a loss. The broadcasting room was far away, and they knew from the beginning that they couldn't stop it; the matter had been exposed.
The teacher frowned deeply at this moment. She had just boasted that she believed in her students, but now she had been proven wrong, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Wu Huan! Wang Qin! Explain yourselves, why did you do such a vile thing?" the teacher asked them sternly. "At such a young age, you've already learned to frame innocent people. What a waste of your moral education classes!"
Thinking that their grades in that subject were actually quite good, the teacher added, "Saying one thing and doing another, isn't it? If someone hadn't recorded it, wouldn't these two excellent students have been wrongly accused and died without any way to prove it?"
“Teacher…we…” Wang Qin and Wu Huan lowered their heads at this moment.
"Make up the difference in the amount of money you need, and each of you should write a self-criticism. I'll call your parents to the principal's office tomorrow!" The teacher was furious. After scolding the two girls, she turned around and looked apologetically at Yu Ning and Yang Yajing.
"Yu Ning, Yang Yajing, I apologize to you! As the homeroom teacher, I also bear responsibility for the mistakes made by the students in our class."
“Teacher, the truth has come out, you don’t need to apologize.” Yang Yajing shook her head. “You’re not their parents, you have no responsibility for how they look.”
"Sigh!" The teacher glanced at the two disappointing students and sighed.
"Teacher, can we go now?" Yang Yajing asked.
There's nothing more for them to do if we keep them here any longer," the teacher nodded.
The two were surrounded as soon as they stepped out of the office.
"Yu Ning! I knew you wouldn't steal money! I've always trusted you!"
"Exactly, there are even people who want you to pay for it out of their own pocket. What are they up to?" Someone pointed at Pang Yan.
...
"Yangyang! Luckily Yangyang is alright, Xuanxuan was so worried!" Jiang Xuanxuan didn't care about Pang Yan, but came to Yang Yajing's side. "Just now, Xuanxuan was thinking of helping Yangyang pay back the money he stole!"
In her previous life, without Chen Jiaoyun's divine assistance, Yang Yajing's financial situation was truly shaped by Jiang Xuanxuan's help.
This was also the opportunity for Jiang Xuanxuan to win over Yu Ning. But in this life, the matter was resolved without Jiang Xuanxuan having to intervene.
What was even more satisfying was that Yu Ning didn't side with Jiang Xuanxuan this time. Instead, she said, "Jiang Xuanxuan, isn't there something wrong with what you said? What do you mean by 'Yang Yajing stole the money'? Were you selectively deaf just now? Or did you not study Chinese well and not know the meaning of 'the custodian steals from his own comrades'?"
Yu Ning was unhappy, and of course her fans were unhappy too!
"Jiang Xuanxuan! Are you implying that Yu Ning and Yang Yajing stole money together?"
"Facts are facts. No one stole anything. The thief has been caught. Is it reasonable to say such things?"
...
"Xuanxuan didn't..." Faced with everyone's accusations, Jiang Xuanxuan felt wronged again, "Xuanxuan didn't doubt Ningning, Xuanxuan was worried about Yangyang, just now I really thought Yangyang was taking advantage of me again..."
"Taking advantage of you my foot!" Before Jiang Xuanxuan could finish speaking, Chen Jiaoyun, who had returned from the broadcasting room, blocked Chen Jiaoyun and Yu Ning's way. "When has she ever taken advantage of you? Has she ever used a single penny of your money? Has she ever accepted any luxury items you didn't want?"
"Sister Chen..."
"That's right! It's one thing to eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want!" Another bystander chimed in, "Otherwise, we won't be happy if our Yu Ning gets dragged into this!"
"Yu Ning, let's go! Let's ignore her! She's a lunatic! Her grades are at the bottom and she still has a foul mouth!" Someone had already pulled Yu Ning away.
"Thank you everyone for believing in me!" Yu Ning bowed slightly to everyone politely. "I've already taken up so much of your rest time, and I still have class this afternoon. Yang Yajing and I need to go to the library, so we'll take our leave now."
"Wow! A top student is indeed a top student! She even goes to the library during lunch break. No wonder her grades are among the best!" The fans who were watching the drama didn't blame Yu Ning at all; instead, they became even more fans.
After borrowing a copy of "Water Margin" from the library, Yu Ning asked Yang Ya Jing why she was still helping her despite her recent constant bickering.
Yang Yajing simply replied that helping her was also helping herself, and besides, she only cared about the facts.
"Besides," Yang Yajing smiled at Yu Ning again, "you're only competing with me because I made you lose face, and because you really want to be number one! It's a fact that you work so hard, and I don't dislike you."
"That's true!" Yu Ning didn't mince words. "I've always worked very hard!"
Yang Yajing and Yu Ning really did become friends after a fight; from that day on, the two became good friends.
Competition is still necessary, but it shouldn't be malicious; rather, it should be about mutual encouragement and competition.
In her previous life, Yu Ning worked hard to improve her grades in order to surpass Yang Yajing. In this life, she is working even harder to keep up with Yang Yajing.
Sometimes, when Yu Ning occasionally scored higher than Yang Ya Jing on a test, she would say, "Let's go! Let's go to your house and treat myself to my good grades!"
Chen Jiaoyun would complain: "You don't even eat cake! And you're paying? Yang Yajing was clearly the one who paid! Showing off!"
"I just want a glass of iced tea, and you keep eating and drinking for free every now and then, you talk too much!"
As Yang Yajing got to know Yu Ning better, she discovered that Yu Ning was also quick to argue with acquaintances.
In her previous life, Yang Yajing had only witnessed Yu Ning's silver tongue on variety shows and thought she was just a smooth talker. She never expected that she was actually eloquent!
Yang Yajing thought to herself: Without the scandal of the previous life, in this life, those two roles that were rejected because of the scandal, and the luxury brand endorsement should all be Yu Ning's, right?
Thinking about endorsements, she also thought about her family's custom clothing business.
In the past two years, Sylvia Chang's business has become incredibly popular, almost catching up with Yang Ya-ching's business in terms of orders for weddings and funerals.
Seeing that Sylvia Chang was getting too busy, Yang Yajing thought of hiring more people to expand the business and continue to accumulate more wealth.
"Yu Ning, do you want to earn some extra money? Maybe you can gain experience and become a big star in the future!" Yang Yajing asked Yu Ning with a smile as she drank her iced tea.
"Yang Yajing! What kind of trick are you up to now?" Yu Ning squinted at Yang Yajing.
