Chen Mu thought about what he had just said and wanted to slap himself in the face.
He looked at Ji Yue with a slightly proud expression, turned his head away cursing, and didn't want to say anything.
After the two leaders finished their speeches, the opening ceremony ended.
The students left in an orderly manner, and the faculty and staff returned to their offices to continue working. Jiang Ming, with a blank mind, didn't know how he got back to the office.
Sitting at his desk, his eyes were dull and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Everyone saw his abnormal behavior and understood why, but no one sympathized with him. One must always bear the consequences of one's actions.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe only a moment, Jiang Ming heard someone calling him.
"Jiang Ming, come out for a moment." It was Director Yang, looking at him with a serious look.
Jiang Ming slowly raised his eyes and looked past Director Yang. He saw two unfamiliar faces standing at the door looking at him, obviously waiting for him to go out.
He stood up mechanically and heard his own erratic voice, "Okay."
Everyone in the office raised their heads and watched Jiang Ming walk out the door trembling in silence, sighing in their hearts. If they had known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?
"Jiang Ming, right?"
"yes."
"We are from the Education Department. We need your assistance in investigating something. Please come with us."
"Okay." Jiang Ming closed his eyes. He knew that it was all over for him.
Soon, he was sitting in the inquiry room of the education department, with two people sitting in front of him with serious expressions.
Director Yang and Xiao Zheng were also present. They were both parties involved and had to be present.
"Jiang Ming, 24 years old, graduated from high school. Last March, he took over your father's job at Huaqing University. He initially worked in the library and later moved to the admissions office. He's the only one at home now, his mother. His address is..."
The serious-looking official finished reading Jiang Ming's family situation and asked him, "Jiang Ming, am I right?"
"That's right." Jiang Ming nodded slowly. The investigation was so clear.
"Okay then." The clerk nodded. "You must answer every question I ask you truthfully. This is a matter of great importance. You cannot hide or lie. Understand?"
"Know."
"Let me ask you, where were you after work on the evening of the 27th of last month?"
Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat. "At home."
"You didn't go anywhere else?"
"No."
"Then why did the security department say that you returned to school to get your things after work that evening?"
Jiang Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I remembered it wrongly. I did go back to get a document."
"Documents?" the clerk's eyes were sharp. "Are you going to get the list of admitted freshmen? The one in Zheng Shulin's cabinet?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't know? Humph!" The clerk placed three pieces of paper in front of Jiang Ming. "Here are the admission lists for other majors, the admission list for the materials major, and your daily work notes. We've already asked a calligraphy expert to authenticate the handwriting on these three pieces of paper."
Jiang Ming remained silent, but his lips became tighter and tighter, revealing his inner restlessness.
"Do you really need me to explain everything? Jiang Ming, let me tell you, if you tell the truth now, you might be able to get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, the consequences of this matter will be unpredictable!"
The clerk was reminding him to tell the truth.
Jiang Ming still pretended to be dumb, "I really don't know."
"Really? Then let me tell you!" The secretary took a deep breath and pointed at one of the papers. "Did you write this list of admissions for the Materials Science program?"
"It's no use denying it. The experts have already verified that the handwriting on this piece of paper is not Zheng Shulin's. It's highly similar to yours. Don't tell me this is a coincidence!"
"Because you privately tampered with the admission list, causing a new student to fail to register on time, which almost led to irreversible consequences. What do you have to say about this matter?"
Jiang Ming stared at the three pieces of paper in front of him, then suddenly raised his eyelids and smiled, "Tampering with them without permission? How is that possible?"
"I remember that day I went back to the office to get a file, but I couldn't find it. I thought it was at Old Zheng's, so I looked through his cabinet. While I was searching, I accidentally spilled tea on his file, which happened to be this admissions list. The words on it were all smudged."
"It was too late then. I knew the admission lists would be distributed to all departments the next day. Time was tight, so I could only imitate Lao Zheng's handwriting and rewrite the admission list. Maybe I was too anxious, so I missed one, but it really wasn't intentional. Later, I saw that there were no mistakes, and I was afraid of being criticized, so I didn't say anything about it."
After Jiang Ming had a lot of fun defending himself, he said pitifully, "But I know I was wrong now, and I'm willing to accept the punishment."
"Too anxious? You didn't mean it?" Director Yang couldn't bear it any longer. He was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Jiang Ming, do you know how serious this matter is? You almost ruined a student's future! Do you think we will believe you if you say that?"
"Everything I said is true."
At this time, Jiang Ming seemed to be certain that they had no other evidence. As long as he insisted that it was an accident, they would not be able to find anything else.
"There's no reason for me to intentionally omit a student's name. I don't even know Su Qingyun. I can't be targeting her, right?"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Ming felt that something was wrong, but it was too late.
