Ye Jian glanced at him and smiled coldly.
This was the vice-principal of Municipal No.1 Middle School. She saw him in a photo before.
Even the vice-principal came. Her registration… This was interesting.
Ye Jian wasn’t in a hurry so she queued and waited for the people in front to finish their registration.
Zhang Jingyi had finished his registration. When he came out, he saw Ye Jian still queuing and immediately pulled her out of the queue. “Ye Jian, why are you still queuing? Look, the vice-principal is waiting for you.”
He said with envy, “You’re really amazing. It’s good to have good results. Even the vice-principal is here.”
“Don’t be jealous of me. My instinct tells me that my registration won’t go smoothly today.” Ye Jian gave Zhang Jingyi her luggage. “Help me to look after this. Take a rest under the trees. I’ll come back in a while.”
It was better for him to remain oblivious about the issue between her and the school. It was not something good anyway. There was no need to destroy his impression of the school.
Zhang Jingyi thought she was kidding so he took over the luggage and said, “Sure, I’ll wait for you outside. The registration process is very fast. You just need to pass them your notification letter and photo. Then, fill up the registration form and everything is done in a few minutes.”
To other people, it might take a few minutes. However, to Ye Jian, it might not be.
After she sat down, Mr. Fu immediately asked the vice-principal to sit down too. The vice-principal was drenched in perspiration. He asked Ye Jian to take out her notification letter. “Take your notification letter out. The principal will tell you the exact details.”
Should she be feeling honored that the vice-principal was going to talk to her personally?
In front of the teachers, Ye Jian was always a good student. Hence, she immediately took out her notification letter and greeted the teacher politely. After that, she said, “If there is anything, you can tell me directly. I came alone. No one accompanied me here.”
“It’s like this…” The vice-principal cleared his throat and looked at Ye Jian sternly. “After we sent you the notification letter, our school received a call telling us that you helped someone cheat during the exam.”
“Ye Jian, this is a serious violation of our rules. After we investigated the issue and received the evidence from the students around you, we confirmed that you really broke the rules.”
“However, since your results are exceptional and even won the gold medal during the World Science Olympiad, our school decided to make an exception and accept you.”
The vice-principal sounded very serious. He sounded like the judge in a court. Every single word he said could decide the fate of Ye Jian. After he finished speaking, he paused intentionally. When he saw no change in the expression of Ye Jian, he felt awkward. She was even wearing a gentle smile on her face.
Cheating during the exam was something students were frightened of. It was scarier than being scolded for skipping lessons.
Hence, he felt that Ye Jian should be scared. She should feel agitated too.
After all, this would affect whether she was able to enter high school or not.
But, Ye Jian wasn’t worried at all. She could even smile. This was something the vice-principal couldn’t accept.
