Teacher Wang's words instantly made the air heavy.
Wu Youyou was dumbfounded, her worldview shattered by Wang's character. She simply couldn't understand it and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Wang, how could you be so despicable as to frame the principal? Are you even family?"
With an air of righteous indignation, Teacher Wang said loudly, "How dare you speak to a teacher like that? This is a matter of fairness, and he shouldn't have revealed the answer to you!"
In Teacher Wang's mind, Wu Youyou didn't want the answers he gave her because she thought he had sold them to other classmates and He Qiangwei. She was afraid of losing to He Qiangwei, so she reported him and got the answers from the principal all by herself. It was simply despicable!
The students stared at each other. This was a matter concerning the vice principal's conduct, a very serious matter. If it was found to be true, the vice principal would be dismissed, and Wu Youyou would be expelled!
Everyone cautiously discussed the seriousness of the matter. There were other teachers in the crowd, such as Wu Youyou's math teacher. He was originally very happy that another genius had appeared in his class and was showing off to other math teachers when he passed by and heard Teacher Wang's words. He was immediately furious. He was a fair and straightforward person and felt that he had lost all face.
Unable to accept this fact, he immediately called the vice principal to inquire about the situation. Upon hearing this in his office, the vice principal was so angry that his muscles trembled all over, and he almost vomited blood on the spot. He felt a lump in his throat, making him extremely uncomfortable. In a fit of rage, he smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground, forcing out a few words, "You beast!"
Then he strode out, slamming the door behind him.
Soon, the vice principal arrived at the scene. His long-cultivated authority silenced everyone present, who dared not utter a word.
The vice principal glared fiercely at Teacher Wang, snorted coldly, and said sternly, "You, Wang Qiufeng, what have you done that you still have the nerve to spout nonsense here? To save face for you, we said you were temporarily unable to perform your duties as a teacher due to personal reasons and only suspended you from your duties for investigation. But you still don't repent and even try to distort the truth and frame Wu Youyou. You are simply despicable!"
The vice principal's words made Teacher Wang uneasy, but after thinking it over carefully, he realized that since he had already been dismissed, he couldn't let Wu Youyou win this competition. Otherwise, how would he earn that 300,000 yuan? That money was for paying off his debts, and he was doomed if he didn't. He mustered his courage and shouted, "You know Wu Youyou's level. You must have sold the answers to her because her father is Wu Zhenyuan and she's a prospective daughter-in-law of a prominent family in Beijing. Maybe you didn't take the money out of a favor, but you're definitely the one who leaked the answers! Otherwise, how could someone with such a terrible level score 738 points, leaving He Qiangwei, who had always been in second place, by 49 points, and only one point behind Shi Zhan, who was recommended to Peking University? It's unbelievable! If I believed that, I'd be out of my mind!"
The vice principal was furious. He was also very surprised by Wu Youyou's exam results, but at this moment, he knew he absolutely could not doubt Wu Youyou's abilities, so he retorted, "I gave Shi Zhan permission to tutor Wu Youyou. A student tutored by a Peking University recommended student is naturally excellent!"
The vice principal's words were naturally not very convincing.
At that moment, Wu Youyou played the recording of how Teacher Wang sold her answers. As soon as Teacher Wang heard the sound, he froze and immediately tried to snatch Wu Youyou's phone, but Yang Min, who was quick-witted and agile, blocked him.
Everyone listened quietly to the recording Wu Youyou played, and they were all shocked.
Wang Qiufeng's face turned green. The students in the crowd who had bought answers from Wang Qiufeng glared at him fiercely because the answers he provided were not relevant to the exam.
After the video finished playing, Wu Youyou said loudly, "If Teacher Wang could sell the answers to me, he must have sold them to other students as well. As for who they are, I don't know, but everyone studies so hard, isn't it all to understand their true level and see their progress in the rankings? Just like Liu Xiaolan, I share a dorm with her and know what price she has paid for studying. You could say she's almost obsessed. If she can't see her progress in the rankings, and doesn't know how many shills are ahead of her, will she still have confidence?"
When applying to her desired university, would she even dare to fill out that school selection form? This is immoral, almost utterly inhumane.
As Wu Youyou spoke, she saw that Liu Xiaolan was already sobbing uncontrollably. She wasn't sad; she was grateful that she had met such a good friend as Wu Youyou, who had pulled her out of a situation where she was insecure and struggling academically.
Wu Youyou gave Liu Xiaolan a bright smile and continued, "As you can hear from this recording, I didn't buy the answers. I chose to go to the principal's office to report Teacher Wang. The principal was very understanding and I admire him. He not only changed the test paper at the last minute but also punished Teacher Wang. As for how much I've improved, Yang Min, Liu Xiaolan, and Song Shaojie and Shi Zhan from Class 1 can all testify for me. I scored 738 points, which is the result of my hard work. I have no regrets!"
All the classmates who supported Wu Youyou cheered and shouted, "Wu Youyou, we support you!"
When the vice principal looked at Wu Youyou, his eyes were full of admiration, mixed with a hint of gratitude. He said impartially, "The facts are just as Wu Youyou said!"
Wang Qiufeng was still unwilling to give up, saying, "I still don't believe that a poor student can turn into a top student overnight!"
Liu Xiaolan shouted at Wang Qiufeng with great disgust, "What if Youyou is a top student?"
"If she's a top student, I, Wang Qiufeng, will run naked out of the school!"
"Okay, you said it, don't go back on your word!" Liu Xiaolan made the final decision.
At this moment, He Qiangwei pressed on, saying, "Liu Xiaolan, you make it sound so nice, but how are you going to prove she's a top student? Are you all going to just sign and put your fingerprints on it?"
The surrounding students started talking about it, and it suddenly became very noisy.
The vice principal, already annoyed, immediately shouted, "Stop arguing!"
Then he looked at Wu Youyou, who knew what the principal meant, nodded, and said to everyone, "Everyone be quiet, I will prove myself!"
He Qiangwei smiled dismissively, "How do you intend to prove it?"
Wu Youyou said calmly, "Liu Xiaolan, move the tables and chairs to the playground right now."
Liu Xiaolan didn't need to think about what Wu Youyou was going to do; she simply turned around and left to move tables and chairs with Yang Min.
Wu Youyou had already spotted the math teacher in the crowd and called out to him, "I would appreciate it if you and the vice principal could help me prepare another test paper. I will complete it all at once on the playground without taking a break, drinking water, or going to the toilet. All of you here can supervise me."
The math teacher glanced at the vice principal, nodded, and then followed the vice principal to get the exam questions.
