After hearing Chu Jie’s words, Vice Principal Wang slammed the cup of water in his hand on the table and looked at Chu Jie sternly.

“Teacher Chu, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself? Geng Qiu and Sun Xiaoyao are both your students. I heard that both of them have signed up for private tuition classes. Coincidentally, they are both tutoring institutions under your husband’s name. Didn’t anyone say that the country explicitly forbids tutoring outside of school?”

Vice-principal Wang’s voice was low, causing all the teachers present to shudder.

“Vice Principal, I can explain this. When the country banned high school cram schools, my husband’s educational institution had already canceled the third-year cram schools. The rest are not within the scope of the country’s ban.”

Chu Jie said confidently. She could not deny what she had done in the past, but her husband’s educational institution was now legal.

“Are you sure? This is a list of third-year students from your husband’s educational institution. Don’t think that you won’t be discovered just because you don’t tutor together. Someone has already complained to the Education

Bureau!”

Vice-principal Wang pushed a folder in front of Chu Jie and asked her to look at the list herself. One-third of the people were students from the experimental class.

“I know that you won’t admit to this matter if I ask you. That’s why the Education Bureau has already set up a team to investigate this matter. They won’t malign a good person, but they won’t let go of a fish that slipped through the net either!”

“Today’s meeting is mainly to discuss Geng Qiu’s matter. Another matter is the results of the monthly test. Early in the morning, Vice-principal Li came to my office and told me that Class Twenty are suspected of cheating. Not only did the first place in the grade appear from Class Twenty, but the second and eighth places were also from Class Twenty. This is an unprecedented result.”

“Before the meeting, I did compare the results of Class Twenty’s students. Wen Huai’s results are still as stable as ever. Tan Xingyue, on the other hand, has just arrived at Ice City No.l Middle School and already obtained the second place in the grade. It’s indeed not easy. However, Miao Xianhe’s eighth place and Gu Yifei’s eleventh place in the grade are indeed unbelievable. It’s very difficult for her to improve by more than 300 places in one go.”

Vice-principal Wang took another sip of water, and his tone became much gentler. “But it’s not impossible.”

“Vice-principal Wang, you’ve just arrived at Ice City No.l Middle School, so you don’t know the situation there. Class Twenty’s results are notorious for being appalling. Although Miao Xianhe and Gu Yifei are both top students in Class Twenty, their results have always been above the 300s. This time, not only did they surpass the students in the experimental class, but they also entered the top 15 of the grade. This is simply a fantasy!”

The Year Three head teacher suddenly spoke. Although she had just accepted the position of Year Three head teacher, she had always been the form teacher of Class Three. She knew the Year Three students very well, and also found this matter unbelievable.

“Then, what is your conclusion? Do you think Class Twenty’s results are fake?” Vice-principal Wang put down the cup and looked at the teachers kindly.

“There must be a problem! I suspect they knew the answers in advance. Just look at Zhao Yuyao’s scores. He was in last place in the grade, but he actually passed all subjects and moved out of the bottom fifty. We suspect there’s something wrong with the scores.”

“To be honest, I also think that there’s a problem with Class Twenty’s results. I’m not targeting Teacher Yang or the other teachers. I just think that it’s unbelievable for them to make such progress in a week. I can’t accept the results of this monthly test.”

The teachers were all pointing at Class Twenty’s results. They did not believe that the students of Class Twenty could achieve such results.

“I think the results this time should be invalid. Cheating in the exam is unfair to the other students. Also, I request that the school punish those students who cheated. I request that Miao Xianhe and Gu Yifei be expelled and that Tan Xingyue be expelled as well.”

Chu Jie looked at the rankings of the Class Twenty students, and even the last-ranked Wen Xin was firmly positioned at 11th place from the bottom of the grade. None of the Class 20 students were among the last ten.

Yang Jingting frowned and looked at Chu Jie with a serious expression. “Without evidence, what makes you think that our students cheated? The test papers were set by the teachers of your experimental class. From beginning to end, even we teachers have never seen the test papers set by you. How did our class cheat?”

Yang Jingting could accept everyone’s doubts, but he couldn’t accept that they were guilty without giving them a chance to prove themselves.

“I know that the teachers of the experimental class always give out two sets of monthly test papers, one for A and one for B. Since you don’t acknowledge the results of our students, then take out the B paper. If there’s not much difference in their results, I demand that you apologize to them!”

This was the first time Yang Jingting had spoken so angrily in his ten years in the industry. Previously, he had always been kind and amiable. It was something that no one had ever seen before—he argued till he was red-faced!

The teachers of Class Twenty looked at each other. Qian Bochen got up from his seat, looked at the two principals sitting before him, and spoke gently.

“I’ll tell you about this. I’ve just returned to school for a few days. This time, when I came back, I realized that the atmosphere in Class Twenty is completely different. In the past, Class Twenty was noisy, but now they will hold exercise books, ask each other questions, and discuss problems with each other. Now, the office is almost filled with Class Twenty students. The attitude of Class Twenty students is completely different.”

“I agree with Teacher Yang. Take out the B paper and let those students do it. If there’s too big a difference from the A paper, it means that there’s something wrong with their monthly test. But if there’s no difference, it means that the teachers are biased against the students of Class Twenty.”

“Could it be that only the students in the experimental class can get close to the top ten of the grade, but the students in class twenty can’t? Who made such a rule?”

“Alright, then we’ll do as Teacher Qian says. Hand out the B papers to the students of Class Twenty. I’ll have to trouble the teachers to work hard to supervise the exam. We’ll see if there’s a problem with the students of Class

Twenty or if the teachers have a deep-rooted prejudice against them.”

Vice-principal Wang stood up. A faint smile appeared on his serious face as if he was waiting for a good show.

“Yang Jingting, if it is confirmed that the students of Class Twenty cheated, then your career will end here.” Chu Jie looked at Yang Jingting smugly. She hated Yang Jingting’s self-righteous attitude.

Many students from Class Twenty wanted to ask her for tutoring, but Yang Jingting stopped them and cut off her source of income..
