Who is Ye Jingtian? The city's biggest investor, with his influences extending to schools and hospitals. If Ye Jingtian publicly claims that the teachers at this school are incompetent, the school would definitely suffer severe repercussions.
Zhou Jie's hand trembled as he hurriedly said, "Don't I know Ye Xuan's character? Go back, I know how to handle this matter."
Indeed, Ye Xuan's unreserved threat just now did scare him. Damn it, Yu Qiang, this idiot, doesn't even realize who Ye Xuan's father is. Besides, would a student ranked third in the entire school cheat?
As Zhou Jie wore a dark expression, Yu Qiang's mind finally cleared up.
He now wished he could slap himself a few times.
Damn it, who is Ye Xuan? Even Zhou Jie doesn't dare to offend him. Who does he think he is?
"No, no, no, I misspoke. I meant Ye Long," Yu Qiang quickly corrected himself.
An innocent Ye Long raised his head in confusion, "Mr. Yu, since when was my English good enough to be in the top ten of the school? Besides, I just finished the multiple-choice questions."
"Pfft!" The girl sitting next to Ye Long covered her mouth and laughed.
The next moment, the entire class burst into laughter.
Ye Long's grades were not bad, but he usually ranked around a hundredth or so in the school. Cheating? Don't be ridiculous. This guy had been holding his head in frustration from the start.
"I said it's you, so it's you. Shut up." Yu Qiang snapped coldly.
This time, Ye Long wasn't having it. He stood up, grabbed his chair, and ran toward Yu Qiang, "Damn you, fatso, you dare accuse me of cheating? I'll fight you."
"Ye Long, calm down, calm down." Several students quickly stood up to restrain Ye Long.
"Fatso, you're ruining my reputation. I'm gonna kill you," Ye Long was hysterical, his face contorted with rage.
Everyone in the class knew that Ye Long had a quirk—if anyone dared to slander him, he would fight them to the death. Back in his first year, he had knocked out a proctor with a chair for trying to wrongfully accuse him of cheating. In the end, under the testimony of everyone present, that teacher didn't even ask Ye Long for medical expenses.
The faces of the students holding Ye Long turned red. Damn it, how could this guy be so strong? They really wanted to let go of Ye Long. Damn fatso, of all people to falsely accuse, he had to choose Ye Long. Isn't he asking for trouble?
"Ye Long, Ye Long, the principal can vouch for it. You didn't cheat." Zhou Jie quickly tried to soothe him.
That incident in the first year was still fresh in his memory.
Upon hearing what Zhou Jie said, Ye Long finally calmed down. His eyes bloodshot, he shouted at Yu Qiang, "You filthy fatso, all you do is slander people. Did Zhang Fan hook up with your daughter or something? You've been targeting him for years. How can a piece of trash like you be a teacher?"
Zhang Fan also chuckled softly, "Yeah, a trashy teacher like you shouldn't be teaching. Principal Zhou, you need to judge this fairly."
Yu Qiang's face turned a myriad of colors. He glared at Zhang Fan in rage, "What did you say, you little bastard?"
Danger flared in Zhang Fan's eyes, "Bastard? You keep accusing me of cheating; where's the evidence?"
A girl also stood up and chimed in, "Yeah, where's the evidence? You created the English test, right? Our class was the first to take it, right? Other than Ye Xuan, who else could finish it in half an hour and score so high? If you say cheating, I don't believe it."
"Yeah, even if you searched for answers online, you couldn't finish this test in thirty minutes. Mr. Yu, how can you casually accuse someone?"
Zhou Jie's face turned slightly cold, "Yu Qiang, you'd better explain yourself."
Yu Qiang's head lowered, and sweat poured from his brow, "Principal, listen to me. This guy definitely cheated. I have another set of the English test. If you don't believe me, let's see him complete it on the spot. I don't believe this trash Zhang Fan can achieve such scores."
"What if I can do it?" Zhang Fan said coldly.
Yu Qiang sneered disdainfully, "If you can do it, I'll kneel and apologize to you."
"Fine." Zhang Fan very much wanted to see Yu Qiang kneel and apologize, so he agreed without hesitation.
"If you can't do it, get out of the school," Yu Qiang sneered coldly.
"Fine, but mark my words, if you don't kneel and apologize when the time comes, I'll break your legs," Zhang Fan said fiercely.
"Alright, wait here. I'll get the test." Yu Qiang turned and left the classroom. Two minutes later, he came back with an English test in hand and slapped it onto the podium, "Come on, do it right here. I'll watch."
Zhang Fan didn't say a word. He took a pen, dragged a chair to the podium, and started immediately.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Zhang Fan. They all wanted to know if the score of one hundred and forty-five was really Zhang Fan's work.
Zhang Fan's pen moved swiftly. Each question seemed to take him no more than ten seconds to answer.
Xu Guozhi, Zhou Jie, and Jiang Dashan closely watched Zhang Fan's test.
When they first saw the paper, they could tell its difficulty. The test was challenging. Even for a senior, scoring ninety would be quite impressive.
Yu Qiang stood to the side, smugly smiling. Just creating this test took him half a month. He believed that even Ye Xuan couldn't score more than one hundred and thirty on it.
Watching Zhang Fan's speed in answering, he started to sneer again. Ha! He's just guessing. This time, the guy was doomed.
Xu Guozhi's expression grew serious.
For him, understanding the questions and answers was an instant process. However, he hadn't expected that Zhang Fan's answers would match his own perfectly.
Answering each question in ten seconds, what kind of speed was this?
"Rip!"
Zhang Fan flipped to the second page and quickly continued. His pace slowed somewhat on the reading comprehension. It took him five minutes before he started writing again.
In twenty minutes, only the English essay remained.
After glancing at the topic, Zhang Fan started writing directly.
The first line, the second line…
Until he finished the last line, he put down his pen. "Done."
"What! Twenty-five minutes, even faster than before! My God, is he randomly answering?"
"Hey, did he finish the essay?" Yu Qiang glanced over and then said to Xu Guozhi, "Vice Principal, you mark the test."
Xu Guozhi shook his head, "It's already marked."
As soon as Zhang Fan had written the last English word, Xu Guozhi knew his score.
"Vice Principal, how many points did this kid get?" Yu Qiang's face was scrunched up with a grin.
Xu Guozhi looked deeply at Yu Qiang and slowly said, "You should kneel and apologize."
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Xu Guozhi. Kneel and apologize? How many points did Zhang Fan actually get?
