Wei Fumin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Liu Cheng's words. After all, Wei Lan was his daughter, and he didn't want her to make a serious mistake.
There might still be room for maneuver.
Wei Song was urgently summoned back to work by his father. He never expected his sister to be this kind of person.
The father and son remained silent in the study for a long time. No matter how disappointed they were in her, they had to clean up her mess first.
"You did it?"
After hearing her father's words, Wei Lan realized that Liu Cheng had switched the test papers.
"You're crazy! You know perfectly well I almost..."
"Smack!"
Wei Song could no longer bear it and finally hit his younger sister, whom he had doted on since childhood and had never said a harsh word to. Wei Lan covered her face and couldn't believe it for a long time.
"dad?"
Wei Fumin closed his eyes wearily, without looking at her.
"You have disappointed me greatly. You abuse your power and use your position to seek personal gain. Is this how your family taught you?"
Over the years, we haven't been able to say a harsh word to you. Even when you used our connections to climb the ladder, we only said you were being stubborn.
But what about you? Is your vision limited to just money?
Power naturally brings benefits, and money is only the most superficial of these benefits.
The family is well-off; the couple's combined salaries are more than enough to support two children, and the father also provides her with a monthly allowance.
Wei Lan is not short of money at all.
The higher you go, the more intangible the exchanges of interests become; no one will leave behind such an obvious handle as money.
But that's all she has in mind. For that little bit of money, she's willing to let all the years of hard work she and her father have put aside.
Wei Song grew angrier the more he thought about it. If someone seized on this weakness and exposed the matter, he would be doomed.
“You are not capable enough as the deputy factory director. You are not qualified to work in the textile factory. From now on, you shall resign from the position of deputy factory director and stay at home.”
Wei Song issued an ultimatum, which Wei Lan naturally couldn't accept. She covered her face and tried to seek her father's help.
“I just started, how can I resign?”
"What else do you want to do if you don't resign? If Liu Cheng hadn't switched the exam papers beforehand, do you think just resigning would have solved this problem?"
"I……"
Wei Lan was unwilling, thinking that her family could find a way to help her, but she didn't expect them to sentence her to death directly.
"Just say the exam paper incident was an accident, that the school made a mistake, and that you knew nothing about it and didn't intend to steal the exam paper."
Wei Song was glad that Liu Cheng discovered it in advance. As long as things didn't get out of control, there was still room for maneuver.

Tie Dan was already terrified, holding his younger brother outside. After a few questions, he spilled everything like beans.
"Mom told me to give the thing to a woman with a magnolia-like hairstyle, and not to let anyone else see it or touch it."
"So you carried it to the path to wait for someone, and then how did you lose it?"
Tie Dan was already crying from fright. Several adults in military uniforms were interrogating him. He had never seen such a scene before.
"I was afraid of being discovered, so I threw my schoolbag into the bushes, but somehow the things disappeared."
Wang Minggui stood to the side, and Lu Yang nodded to the others.
"Battalion Commander Wang, Tiedan has already confessed, so you can take him back first."
Tie Dan, carrying his younger brother, followed behind his father. Just as they left the office, Wang Minggui kicked him hard in the shin, almost making him kneel down.
