Chapter 266 - Eating Crow
Chapter 266: Eating Crow
Jianghuai pursed his lips tightly. “The previous Education Minister. He retired two years ago and returned to Ming City.”
His grandpa and Grandpa Tan were allies. Their families were very close. Hearing that, Gu Yin stopped looking and she felt her brain tense up. The man that Gu Mang always hung out with was also among the group. Did he bring him here to save Gu Mang? It was a fact that Gu Mang cheated. Even if they wanted to cover up the matter, they had to give an account to the rest of the candidates who took the national exams. This matter was not one that could be covered up with rights and power.
Gu Yin’s deskmate laughed. “Even if the current Education Minister is here, they still have to play by the rules. What’s more, he is the previous one. If Gu Mang is not dealt with properly, where will all the candidates for the national examination be placed? The national examination will become a joke. This time it is not only the local schools who are trying to recruit new students. There are even foreign universities as well. Do they really want to be humiliated abroad?”
Gu Yin thought so too. Not just Class One. All the students and teachers also noticed what was going on at the meeting room. Students were all standing in front of the railings outside their classroom doors. They were all watching the meeting room across the hall. After a few minutes, the group that had just entered left the meeting room.
Gu Mang followed alongside Elder Tan. Her eyelids hung low and Elder Tan said a few sentences to her at times. She would then nod slightly in response. Seeing this, the expression of the students from across changed.
“Why is Gu Mang leaving first? Shouldn’t she be taken away by the police?”
“What does this even mean? Is this matter ending with no outcome?”
“This is but the top scholar of the national exams for the entire country! There are so many schools that give priority admission for the top student! Even if they did not want to arrest Gu Mang, they could at the very least revoke her grades and give us an account!”
“”How did the investigation team look into the matter and collect evidence? This is like child’s play!”
“She has such strong backup. She can still be safe and sound after committing such an act!”
“What is there to study for? There are people like her who spoil it for everyone. When will people like us who study hard ever make it!”
“Let’s raise a ruckus online. We have to make the Ministry of Education give us an explanation!”
Gu Yin’s eyelids were droopy. She clenched her fist. She had always been able to control her expression but this time even her face looked bad.
Her deskmate turned to her and saw her cold side profile. She spoke quickly. “Yinyin, everyone has gone online to stir things up. This matter hasn’t ended yet. You will definitely rank first in the end.”
Gu Yin did not answer.
Jianghuai’s eyes were cold and dark. He took out his phone to look at the situation online. He saw a post that the Ministry of Education had posted just a second ago. His mind went blank and he widened his eyes tensely.
The other students have basically seen it as well. There were chaotic heated discussions in all the students’ group chats and teachers’ group chats. Ding! Everyone along the corridor received a notification on their phone.
“Gu Mang is innocent?!”
“If she could really score full marks, why did she choose to score zeros?”
The students who had always liked Gu Mang only dared to speak up at this point. “It is Gu Mang’s choice as to how she wants to score. Now that the Ministry of Education has already cleared the air, what else do you guys want?”
“Gu Mang is very low profile. She seldom causes trouble. Most of Class Twenty likes her a lot but only you guys despise her for everything that she does. All of you even went online forums to accuse her!”
Someone scoffed. “Where are all the people who always mocked her for scoring zeros?”
“Yet you went online to stir things up. Is it really such an eyesore for you to accept that someone from your very own school has scored first in the entire nation?!”
The posts regarding Gu Mang’s results on the various online platforms vanished in an instant.
