“Ye Tianxin, I believe these students are not only your classmates, but also your friends. You don’t need to do this,” the dean tried to convince Ye Tianxin.
His words made Ye Tianxin smile. Then she replied, “Sir, have you considered that if I don’t prove my innocence, then no matter how successful I become in the future, people will say that I cheated my way. I don’t want something like this to become a red mark in my life!”
Ye Tianxin’s attitude was firm. She wouldn’t be talked out of her plan.
Meanwhile, the dean felt that if he didn’t give in to Ye Tianxin’s suggestion, then Ye Tianxin would follow through with a legal case.
“Then let us discuss this.”
“Alright. I shall go back to class then.”
The teachers gathered to discuss the matter after Ye Tianxin left the office.
“What gives Ye Tianxin the right to behave so…so…so arrogantly? Can’t teachers doubt her scores when she used to be a mediocre student?” one of the female workers remarked angrily. She thought that Ye Tianxin was behaving brashly.
“Miss Liao, you don’t have to be so anxious about this. Since Ye Tianxin has raised such conditions, we can assume that she is confident with the scores she got.”
Mr. Chen was more excited than anyone else. This was because Ye Tianxin was his student. If the students from his class received such high scores in the college entrance exams, he would definitely be graded as one of the top 10 teachers in the province and become a special-grade teacher. Then, there would also be some monetary incentive.
Mr. Gou said, “Mr. Chen, since Ye Tianxin is your student, what do you make of her scores? Do you think she was really able to do well in the exams?”
“Mr. Gou, I think that Ye Tianxin’s results are genuine,” Mr. Chen answered. “The mock exam this time adhered to the style of the college entrance exam completely. I have never seen the test papers from when the exam began until they were marked. This proves that I did not have the time, nor was it possible for me, to leak the questions to Ye Tianxin. Aren’t you all glad that Ye Tianxin managed to achieve such good results? This is the highest score for high school seniors in the history of Jiameng High School…”
“Mr. Chen, you look very pleased. Don’t forget, this is just a mock exam and not the real college entrance exam. What does it mean if Ye Tianxin doesn’t do well for the college entrance exam?”
Mr. Chen looked at the others. He knew that five students from his class had made it to the top 10 for this exam.
The other teachers were definitely jealous of him.
However, he believed that Ye Tianxin had not cheated and that her results were genuine and valid.
“Anybody could do badly at the college entrance exam. That doesn’t prove anything.” Mr. Chen turned around and said to the dean, “Sir, since there are so many teachers who doubt Ye Tianxin’s scores, then let’s start tonight. I don’t want Ye Tianxin to be wronged either.”
“Mr. Chen, when the time comes, don’t—”
“There are some people who come to their senses later than others,” Mr. Chen cut off the dean. “Actually, I’m Ye Tianxin’s former teacher and I know that she has always been a smart child. Even though she liked to sleep in class in the past, she rarely disturbed others from studying. She told me seriously before she went to the capital that she really wanted to go to Capital University. Do you all know what this means? The town of Jiameng has never had a student who managed to enter Capital University. If Ye Tianxin really makes it there, wouldn’t it be a good thing for Jiameng High School? I admit that you all have reasonable doubts. Then let us give Ye Tianxin a chance, a chance to prove herself. You all can also give her questions to answer.”
