Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mr. Dean, you can’t be so biased just because Qin Zhen’s family is rich and they donated some buildings to the school! This is one of the top high schools in the country. They can’t do whatever they want just because they have money. Qin Zhen is from Class 28, which is the worst in the entire school. How could Qin Zhen rank first?”

When the top students saw Qin Jin and Qin Youting standing beside Qin Zhen, they secretly wondered if it was because the Qin family had donated many buildings to the school that the dean had openly helped Qin Zhen fake her score. They were convinced that it was the case. Their school had a good reputation, but because of Qin Zhen, they had dragged their reputation down again and again. What kind of school image did they still have? Since Qin Zhen liked to spend money to settle things, she should start her own school. Why did she have to harm them too?

Before the dean could say anything, the people of Class 28 were shouting their dissatisfaction.

“Are you trying to say that Class 28 only has bad students?” Jia Qing said angrily. “What? Is Class 01 the only class that has good students, and only one of you can get first place? The exams are all randomly assigned. How can you guys think you’re above everybody else? ‘If nobody in your class can do it, then nobody can’? Why are you looking for an excuse?”

“Exactly! When one of us is ranked first you all start complaining! She even beat Qin Si, who ranked second, by more than 50 points! You guys aren’t even as good as Qin Si! What face do you have to shout here, huh?”

The people of Class 28 were unusually united. They did not want to speak up for Qin Zhen, but they could not stand the arrogant attitude of the people from Class 01.

“Shut up! Qin Zhen obviously cheated and the school is helping her, don’t embarrass yourselves.” Du Juan, the class monitor of Class 28, hissed at her classmates with a red face.

Jia Qing’s clique was unhappy, “If others fight us, we’ll fight them back. What’s wrong with that? Du Juan, you’re also from Class 28. Instead of helping us, why you’re siding with them? Is there something wrong with your brain?”

Jia Qing and the others did not care about what she said.

The people of Class 28 started to look at Du Juan unkindly.

The class monitor could only blush and quickly shut her mouth.

“We’ve already investigated the truth,” The dean said angrily, “All the teachers can prove that Qin Zhen didn’t cheat! Do you still not believe in your teachers?”

“Unless she retakes the exam, we will never believe it! We want the truth!” The people of Class 01 were in a huge uproar. They studied day and night every day and worked hard for more than ten years. How could they be convinced that they were trampled on by the student who ranked last?

The dean was in a difficult position. If it weren’t for what happened in the office, he wouldn’t have believed Qin Zhen’s results either. However, if these students made a fuss, it would probably alert the Ministry of Education.

The homeroom teacher of Class 28, Li Wu, suddenly added, “We said that Qin Zhen’s results were real because we had already re-tested her. Since everyone does not believe what we said, we could show them the surveillance footage. The surveillance cameras can prove that we’re not lying.”

The dean looked at Li Wu with gratitude and admiration and asked someone to get the surveillance video.

Qin Si gritted her teeth bitterly. She could not understand why Qin Zhen would have such a huge change in the blink of an eye. Once everyone saw the video, Qin Zhen’s results could no longer be faked…

The videotape was quickly brought over and the dean asked someone to put it on the big screen.

Yu Zhuang didn’t say a word and couldn’t help but watch.

The video was evidence enough, and it even had audio.

Many people in the school had some opinions about Ms. Baihe. Now, she had no room for excuse. Who asked her to always be high and mighty and put on a constant wretched expression on her face? Now that they saw that she was inferior to Qin Zhen, everyone’s impression of her changed a lot.

When the video ended, the dean raised his hand to calm the excited students. “I asked you to come here today for a different matter.” After saying that, he gave Baihe a look.

Baihe felt so embarrassed, but at this point, she had to do it even if she didn’t want to. Otherwise, the only other option she had would be to resign. If she was fired from a top high school, her reputation would be ruined. She took a deep breath and looked at all the students below the stage.

“Everyone…. Everyone has seen Qin Zhen’s improvement. She has indeed given me a lesson and let me see her talent. I apologize for the bad words I said to her before. However, a teacher’s scolding and reprimands are with the intent of spurring their students to be better! I don’t want to see any of you waste your time… And Qin Zhen, I’m sorry.”

After saying that, she bent down and bowed.

On the surface, she looked righteous, but her nails had already pierced through her palm in sheer anger. Now, only the pain could keep her rational. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.
