Chapter 20 Proving Innocence
Chapter 20 Proving Innocence
Although Teacher Zhang understood that Fang Qing was wrongly accused, their influence was too weak to stop the director's decision, and Fang Qing was ultimately sentenced to have her math scores cancelled.
Standing on the corridor, the two looked into the distance silently, and Teacher Zhang patted her shoulder.
"Fang Qing, the teacher believes that you did not plagiarize, but this matter is indeed difficult to explain clearly. I know that this result is very unfair to you, but as long as we have a clear conscience..."
But Fang Qing couldn't stand this kind of humiliation. "No, I didn't do it, and I absolutely don't admit it!" After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
Teacher Zhang was afraid that she would do something stupid, so he followed her all the way out. When he found that she had run all the way to the principal's office, he realized that the matter was about to become a big deal.
Fang Qing stood outside the principal's office and knocked hard, "Principal, please help me, I didn't cheat, please give me justice!"
The door of the principal's office was opened. Seeing Fang Qing's tearful face, he was stunned for a moment. Seeing Teacher Zhang following closely with a nervous look on his face, he slightly sank his face and said, "Student, come in and sit down and talk slowly. Teacher Zhang, you come in too."
Fang Qing actually felt a little regretful when he saw the principal. After all, the old man was very busy with things to do. If he came here rashly, not to mention how much trouble it would cause him, even Teacher Zhang would definitely be implicated. He was really a little impulsive just now.
Sitting on the chair, Fang Qing was a little scared. He thought that if he did this, he would definitely offend the director and those teachers. He didn't know if he could continue to study in the school in the future.
"Child, didn't you just say you had something to say? Go ahead, I'm listening carefully." The principal was a kind old grandfather. He looked at Fang Qing with a smile, which made Fang Qing regret his impulsiveness even more.
"Principal, I...I..." Fang Qing could remain calm in the face of other people's slander, but when facing such a kind and amiable old man like the principal, he suddenly felt that he was really ignorant.
Seeing Fang Qing unable to speak for a long time, the principal turned to Teacher Zhang and said, "Teacher Zhang, then you tell me what happened to force the students to be like this."
Teacher Zhang understood the principal's character. Although he had a good temper, he kept his word and explained the whole thing in detail.
"I understand what happened. So, you take this student back to take the next exam, and I will handle this matter."
After the principal gave his instructions to Teacher Zhang, he picked up the phone and called the director's office. "Xiao Hu, you and the first grade math teacher come over to my place. I have something to ask you."
Seeing this, Teacher Zhang could only take Fang Qing away first. Fang Qing inexplicably believed in the principal and bowed deeply to the principal before leaving. The principal smiled and waved his hand, then continued to work with his head down...
Although Fang Qing experienced this setback, the following exams were not affected at all. Because in her opinion, the more she was at this time, the more she had to be stable, do well in the exam, and use her results to shut those people up.
The exam ended successfully, and Fang Qing returned to the dormitory and began to wait for the school's handling results. After three days, there was still no notification about her. Instead, teachers from various teaching groups held meetings again and again and began to investigate the matter.
"Hey, have you heard? It seems like there are some missing questions in this exam!"
"Really? If so, it's too unfair to the rest of us students! What will the school say?"
"What can I say? Investigate! Didn't you see that the teachers of various subjects have been holding meetings every day these days? I don't know which teacher is unlucky and so careless..."
Fang Qing felt calm as she listened to the students' conversation. Although the incident was getting bigger and bigger, she was also wrongly accused. If she didn't find out who leaked the test questions, she couldn't clear herself of suspicion. Now she just hoped that the school could really find the culprit...
A week after the incident, Teacher Zhang called her to his office.
"Fang Qing, this matter has been investigated. It is true that a teacher accidentally leaked the test questions." Teacher Zhang paused, and immediately sighed when he saw Fang Qing's overjoyed expression. "But because no one can prove that you haven't seen the answers, your score for this math test is still cancelled."
The smile on Fang Qing's face fell before it even rose. She nodded to show that she understood, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang. I understand."
Teacher Zhang looked at Fang Qing, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "But now I have secured a chance for you to retake the exam. Are you willing?"
Fang Qing was overjoyed. As long as she could prove her innocence, she was not afraid to take the test ten more times. During the self-study class that afternoon, Fang Qing was called to the director's office. Under the supervision of several teachers, Fang Qing began the re-examination.
The questions for this re-examination were re-selected and arranged by several mathematics teachers based on the difficulty of the final examination paper. Absolutely no one knows about it. Even the answers are still being sorted out, in order to avoid the answers being leaked.
Fang Qing quickly began to answer questions under everyone's gaze. The teachers were shocked to see that she took more than ten seconds to answer each multiple-choice question.
"This kid is doing it too fast..."
"It seems that this child has a solid foundation in mathematics..."
"Let's take a look first. What if he just guessed it randomly in pursuit of speed?"
…
After the re-examination, several teachers began to calculate the correct answers to the test papers on the spot, and finally graded Fang Qing's answer paper.
To everyone's surprise, Fang Qing's answers to the multiple-choice questions were all correct again. In the entire test paper, except for one question that missed a step and was deducted two points, all other questions were correct. Seeing this, Director Hu finally believed that this student did not need to plagiarize.
"Student Fang Qing, congratulations, you have proved that you did not plagiarize."
Fang Qing stood up nervously and bowed to all the teachers repeatedly to express his gratitude. His heart finally settled down.
…
"Qingqing, you are amazing! You are actually fifth in age this time!"
Standing in front of the score list, Wen Ling hugged Fang Qing and shouted excitedly. Then, seeing the gloomy faces of several female students around her, she became even more proud. "Qingqing, your results really slapped some people in the face. I heard that some people have been unwilling to accept it and even clamored to surpass you. I don’t know how those people did in the exam. Are they embarrassed? ..."
Sister Shuang and her group were standing not far away. They looked at Fang Qing's results and turned away angrily.
"Useless! She can't even do such a thing. Didn't they say she was found to have plagiarized? How come she still has a grade?"
"She went to the principal and the school allowed her to retake the exam. We couldn't do anything the second time..."
"Forget it, let's think of another way..."
Fang Qing was looking for her friend's ranking on the report card. From the corner of her eye, she saw Wen Ning standing not far away, looking at the report card for the second year of high school. He seemed to sense her gaze and immediately looked over. When he saw it was her, he immediately smiled and mouthed something to her from a distance.
"Congratulations, you did well on the test."
Fang Qing smiled and imitated him, mouthing the same words, "Congratulations, first place student."
Not far away, Sun Changqing, who was watching this scene, had a gloomy expression.
