Chapter 143: 140 Earth-shattering Applause! Swollen Face【3 Updates】
The entire Elite Class instantly fell silent.
Zhong Zhiwan’s smile froze.
She stood stiffly in place, her ears buzzing, her head filling with blood before it seemed to explode with a “bang”.
Especially in the class and the hallway, many people looked over.
So many gazes converging on Zhong Zhiwan made her feel like a clown seeking attention.
“Hmm?” The young man didn’t get a response and asked again, “Excuse me, which one is Ying Zijin? I’m a professor from Imperial Capital University, and I need to see her for something.”
At this statement, the students of the Elite Class were all stunned.
A professor from Imperial Capital University had come to Verdant to find Ying Zijin personally?
“Professor! There’s been a mistake!” The Head of the Physics Group ran over, “Professor Zuo, you left in such a hurry I didn’t have the chance to tell you, this child isn’t from the Elite Class.”
His old arms and legs still had to compete with the young people’s stamina.
“Not from the Elite Class?” The young professor was quite surprised, “Isn’t the test paper from the Elite Class?”
“Professor Zuo, it’s a long story,” the Head of the Physics Group wiped his sweat, “This child is ill and didn’t come to school today. Let’s go to the principal’s office and talk it over.”
The young professor nodded, then followed the Head of the Physics Group away.
Zhong Zhiwan beside them was completely ignored.
Zhong Zhiwan’s lips trembled fiercely, her face turned pale, finally betraying a hint of vulnerability.
A strong sense of humiliation caused her tears to fall freely.
“Goddess Zhong, don’t be sad,” a boy couldn’t bear to see her and consoled her, “It’s not a big deal. Imperial Capital University isn’t out of your reach, is it?”
The Verdant Talented Class was, in fact, also a place where Imperial Capital University cultivated its students, otherwise, they wouldn’t have set a special exam paper.
Had this remark not been made, it would have been alright but after it was said, Zhong Zhiwan felt even more heartbroken.
She clenched her backpack strap and ran off with her head down.
That night, the online forum of Verdant exploded.
It was overwhelmed with posts claiming that there were serious injustices in the midterm examinations.
[Honestly, it’s so fake that Ying Zijin got a perfect score. My second brother is in the Department of Physics at Imperial Capital University, he was specially recruited last year, and even he could only finish half of that elective question. And Ying Zijin? Tsk.]
[I really can’t stand it anymore. A bunch of students were flattering her during the day. Do you know what you’re praising? The results came out through cheating. I could score that high if I had the answers.]
[Everyone has seen how bad Ying Zijin’s grades were before. If someone says she didn’t cheat for the sake of face, I don’t buy it at all.]
[It’s sad for the Elite Class, but the saddest is Goddess Zhong. If Ying Zijin hadn’t cheated, Goddess Zhong’s first place in the grade wouldn’t have dropped to over a thousand.]
[My heart goes out to Goddess Zhong.]
[My heart goes out +1.]
[My heart goes out +10086.]
Beneath were a swarm of supporting posts.
The campus forum was anonymous, so no one knew who was posting, which made many students even more unrestrained.
Some students from the Elite Class, in particular, harbored not a small amount of resentment over this term’s grade rankings.
[I’ve already sent a whistleblower letter to the principal’s mailbox. Wait for the results, and Ying Zijin will be expelled.]
[Is there a template for the whistleblower letter? I’ll send one too. The more people, the greater the Strength.]
[So many people want it? Then I’ll post it directly on the forum.]
Zhong Zhiwan, who also posted on the forum, was puzzled as to why there had been no peep from Class 19.
Normally, a group from Class 19 would surely come out in defense.
Zhong Zhiwan didn’t wait for Class 19 to respond, instead, the following morning, she was greeted by an announcement issued by the school on the official campus website.
[Regarding the recent midterm examinations, after consultation with the student involved, the school has decided to hold a Q&A session at the Verdant Auditorium at 2 PM on the 8th of this month. Anyone with objections is welcome to participate in this Q&A. The school has received all whistleblower letters and will punish the involved parties without delay according to school regulations after the Q&A.]
Bai Shaoshi and He Xun, along with a few other teachers convinced Ying Zijin had cheated, were directly notified by the academic affairs team.
The notification instructed them to prepare their questions for the upcoming questioning session.
He Xun, looking at the notice, felt a sense of relief. If the questions were asked publicly, then Ying Zijin couldn’t possibly have access to the answers.
Under such intense scrutiny, she wouldn’t receive any outside help for sure, and the truth would be revealed on the spot.
