Chapter 30 Plagiarism and Suspension
His mind went blank and his whole body froze, as if the joints of a machine were rusted. Chen Zan moved slowly to the school forum.
What caught my eye was a pinned post with thousands of comments covering it, which was the report post that An An mentioned.
She clicked on it and saw a list of evidence, big and small, enough to prove that the award-winning paper she had written last semester was plagiarized. The whole paper was clearly organized and even contained forged screenshots.
When she saw the name of the informant at the bottom, her pupils suddenly shrank.
Luo Qiuyue!!!
As for the comments below the post, they are even more unbearable.
"Chen Zhan? Is that Chen Zhan from the Foreign Languages College?"
"Oh my god, this seemingly pretty and well-behaved schoolgirl actually plagiarized?"
"I support Senior Luo's report. This is stealing other people's work. Rong University doesn't allow such plagiarists."
"Chen Zhan doesn't look like that kind of person, is there some misunderstanding?"
"All the evidence is out there, and the real names have been reported. Are you saying that the senior sister staged this all on her own?"
"I've read it. Senior Luo is also a senior from the School of Foreign Languages. After graduation, she got an internship at a publishing house. She often introduces part-time jobs to her junior colleagues in the same group. This Chen is one of them."
"Chen Zhan, I know her. She's quite a troublemaker. Last week at the library, I heard that even some rich second-generations came to school and she's been played by several people. She's just pretending to be innocent."
"Chen Zhan is the top student in the foreign language department and has received many scholarships. Is there some inflated opinion about this?"
"She's the campus belle of Rong University. I think she's a disgrace to Rong University."
Xu Anan and several others in the dormitory responded to the black comments in the post, but they couldn't handle the increasing number of comments.
The post was posted in the early hours of last night when everyone was asleep. By the time I saw it in the morning, it had already spread throughout the school.
Chen Zan bit his lower lip tightly. Yesterday it was grandma and mom, and today it was his turn.
So is this what Zhou Jingyu meant when he said yesterday that this matter is not over yet?
Maybe she had experienced too many things yesterday. When the teacher in the hospital called her and asked her to return to school for investigation, she was surprisingly calm, as if things couldn't get any worse.
I didn’t go to the inpatient building, but turned around and took a taxi back to school.
In the office of the college leader, the dean, director, counselors and professional teachers are all present.
The reporting materials were not limited to those on the forum. Luo Qiuyue also sorted them out separately and sent them to the hospital's reporting email address. Now all of them were printed out and placed in front of him.
The head of the academy asked seriously, "Student Chen Zhan, do you have anything to explain?"
"I didn't plagiarize. Teacher Lin, who was in charge of the first and second revisions of my paper, can vouch for me. I still have the proposal report, the mid-term review documents, and the teacher's revision comments and feedback records."
Chen Zhan logically and logically proved himself: "If these still cannot prove it, I can provide the most original draft data and research and record these materials."
Even Professor Lin said after hearing this: "I can testify to this. Student Chen did spend a lot of time on that paper."
The head of the institute snorted and threw a stack of documents in front of Chen Zhan. "The self-documentation you mentioned was also provided by Luo Qiuyue. Your paper is highly consistent with hers. What else do you have to say?"
Chen Zan picked it up and looked through it carefully. The information in the tire before was incomplete, and the one in her hand now was the complete report material. After reading two pages, she showed an expression of disbelief.
Then he thought of something and said, "It's a frame-up. I went out to dinner with her the week before last. She drugged me at the time. After I passed out, she must have peeked at my computer in the restaurant."
The counselor asked: "Do you have any proof, such as a surveillance video from the restaurant?"
Chen Zan's shoulders and neck were tense, and his hands unconsciously clenched the documents. "No, but the police station has my police report. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."
The hospital leader suddenly asked, "Why did Luo Qiuyue give you drugs for no reason?"
Chen was hesitant to speak. How could it be said that Luo Qiuyue drugged her and asked the Wei family to send her to Zhou Jingyu's bed?
Does the school really dare to offend these two people? Maybe after they tell the truth, they will use this as an excuse to educate her for her improper behavior.
Seeing this, the head of the academy waved his hands and said, "Chen Zan, plagiarism is a serious matter. What's more, you won an award for this paper, which has a huge impact."
"How about this? Pending the results of the investigation, the school won't expel you, but you'll need to stop attending classes and be suspended. I'll call your parents and have them come to school. As for the final outcome of this matter, we'll need to investigate and determine."
Chen Zhan looked at them in disbelief, "I didn't plagiarize."
The dean didn't give her any room to explain, "Call your parents first."
——
Chen Zan came out of the dean's office, and the counselor and Teacher Lin were still comforting her.
"Chen Zhan, I believe you can't have committed academic fraud. The academy hasn't yet launched a thorough investigation, and we will definitely give you justice."
"The main thing is that this matter has become too big a deal on the forum. It won't have a good impact if you continue to stay in school. Didn't you call and ask for leave a few days ago saying that your grandmother was in the hospital and needed surgery? You should go back to school and take care of her for the next few days."
"Why is your face still injured? It's not serious, right?"
"Don't worry, I know very well whether my students copied or not."
Chen Zan was very glad that at least the counselor and teacher were on her side.
But she knew that this matter was not that simple. The reason why the school leader was in a hurry to let her take a leave of absence was that there must be a bigger figure behind the scenes putting pressure on him.
So just a few words can easily ruin a person.
My mother lost her job, my grandmother couldn’t have surgery, and even her studies were in a mess.
An indescribable pain raged in my chest, my eyes were sore, and I began to reflect on whether I had really done something wrong.
So Chen Zan, you haven't done anything well. You have no power, no influence, and no weapons. Why are you so noble?
Lin Anan and Shen Tangyue took turns calling and messaging her, but she didn't reply to any of them. During this time, Jin Hanzhou also called. She could still vividly remember the scene of him being knocked unconscious and taken back by his own bodyguards at the door of Tang Palace Club last night.
Chen Zan felt isolated and helpless, not knowing what to do.
My grandmother fell ill, but the hospital refused to admit her. My mother was told the day before she was to perform that she would be replaced and might even lose her job. She herself was also forced to take a leave of absence from school.
Everything was forcing her to go towards that man.
He was certain that she would not yield to Wei Yunxi, but would definitely beg him.
The phone was too noisy, so Chen Zan simply turned it off.
A layer of dark clouds gathered in the sky, and it looked like a rainstorm would come at any time.
Chen Zan did not return to the dormitory, but went straight to the school gate. Along the way, she could feel strange gazes on her. Thinking of the comments on the forum, she felt suffocated and walked out with her head slightly lowered.
