Chapter 25: Fire him, must fire him!
Xu Wen was walking quickly in the school corridor. Before he reached the teacher's office, he heard someone shouting inside.

"Students like him who disrespect teachers, openly challenge teachers, and cheat on exams must be expelled!"

This sounded like Zhou Xiaoji's angry voice. There was no doubt that he was talking about him.

He admitted to the first two, and I didn't give him much face, but where did the last one, about cheating in the exam, come from?
Is it because his grades improved too quickly?
Xu Wen sighed helplessly and strode towards the office.

"Teacher Li, please explain. I checked the transcript. Xu Wen's last score was 72nd in the grade. How come he improved to first in the grade in just a few months?"

The person who spoke was a gentle man wearing glasses. Xu Wen remembered that this man was Cui Zhijun, the vice-president of their school.

A widely circulated joke among students is that they must never call him Vice Principal Cui, but must directly call him Principal Cui.

It seems that this is Zhou Xiaoji's backer, and also the capital that allows him to be so arrogant in school.

"Xu Wen definitely couldn't have cheated." Li Na, who was standing opposite the two of them, argued: "He was in the second examination room this time, and I was the invigilator the entire time."

It would have been better if this sentence hadn't been said. When it was said, Zhou Xiaoji immediately sneered: "You are his class teacher, you must be protecting him, maybe you even helped him cheat."

Li Na was overwhelmed by this huge accusation.

There were two teachers in front of her who were more experienced than her, and she was just a young teacher, which made her feel very stressed.

"In my opinion, such students should be expelled directly to prevent them from bringing bad influence to the atmosphere of our Linjiang No. 1 Middle School." Cui Zhijun finally expressed his thoughts.

All they want now is to quickly put a big hat on Xu Wen, any crime, and then take the opportunity to fire him and solve the problem directly.

Just as Li Na was about to continue arguing, a tall figure blocked her way.

"Teacher Zhou, you should know best whether I cheated." There was no fear on Xu Wen's face.

"I, how could I know."

Zhou Xiaoji didn't feel confident. After all, he had listened to Xu Wen's lecture in its entirety. At least he got full marks in mathematics, which must have been his own ability.

But if he didn't cheat in math, does that mean he didn't cheat in other subjects? Otherwise, how could he make such rapid progress?

"You don't need to argue here. The school has only one way to deal with students like you: expel you directly." Cui Zhijun waved his hand impatiently.

"He still has more than three months before the college entrance examination. How can you fire him?" Li Na took the initiative to step forward.

After all, she is the child's class teacher, and she has the obligation to protect him and prevent him from being wrongly accused!

If an ordinary student heard the word "expulsion", he would probably be so scared that he would be speechless.

After all, at the University of Tokyo, you can jump off a building and disappear in a biological sense, but you absolutely cannot drop out of school and disappear from the school.

But Xu Wen was not afraid at all. He still smiled faintly: "So this is how Vice President Cui handles problems. He doesn't even mention the evidence."

The thing that Cui Zhijun hates most is when someone calls him vice-president, especially when the word “vice” is emphasized.

"Is there still a need for investigation? You know exactly what you did!" he shouted angrily.

"Even if I am expelled now, I will still be the first in the college entrance examination. But if because of you, No. 1 Middle School loses the opportunity to compete for the top spot in Jiangxi Province..." Xu Wen did not continue to speak, leaving the rest to Cui Zhijun's imagination.

He just kept shaking his head and made an expression of great regret.

Cui Zhijun finally began to hesitate. He found that Xu Wen's confidence did not seem fake. If he really got the results by cheating, he would not be in this state now.

He looked at Zhou Xiaoji suspiciously, trying to find the answer from him. After all, he was just there to support the crowd and didn't know the truth.

"You are so proud of yourself just because you got first place in the exam. Can you get the top spot just because you want to?"

He probably didn't notice at this time that what he said was a disguised admission that Xu Wen did not cheat.

Zhou Xiaoji was just about to say something to make amends when a figure hurriedly ran up to him at the office door.

Guo Yilin took several deep breaths before he finally recovered.

"Oh no, Teacher Zhou. Xia Ning took the lead in preparing a petition and called on classmates to sign it, saying that they want to change the math teacher. Now she has gone to see the principal!" He sneaked out from the back door to inform Zhou Xiaoji while others were signing.

After saying this, all the teachers in the office became nervous.

The students in Class 17 are about to rebel!
No one understands how the conflict between Zhou Xiaoji and Xu Wen has directly escalated into a conflict between him and the entire Class 17.

"Nonsense!" Cui Zhijun frowned.

If it is just a matter of one person, then it will be easy to handle. But if it develops into a group incident, especially at this critical juncture before the college entrance examination, the school cannot escape blame.

Not only the teacher, but even Xu Wen was a little confused.

What petition?

There was no such play when I was in high school in my previous life!
"Xu Wen, you are the one who instigated them, right?" Zhou Xiaoji also began to get a little nervous.

He didn't expect that all the students in Class 17 were ungrateful.

I worked hard to teach for half a year, but I didn’t gain as much favor as Xu Wen did in just a few classes.

Cui Zhijun was still thinking about how to calm down what happened today, but he didn't have much time to think about it, as footsteps were heard at the office door.

Liu Qingye was the first to walk into the office. He had a serious expression on his face, and it looked like the calm before the storm.

Following behind him was Xia Ning, who was holding a file bag that was bulging with something unknown.

"Xia Ning, I'm usually very nice to you and I've never said anything bad about you, yet you repay me like this!" Zhou Xiaoji took the initiative.

He never thought that this incident was done by the seemingly well-behaved academic master.

In his eyes, Xia Ning has always been a good child and never rebelled against her teacher.

"All of you get out." As soon as Liu Qingye came in, he immediately dispersed all the teachers and students who were watching the fun.

Xia Ning also cooperated and closed the office door after everyone left.

She looked at Xu Wen not far away and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

This smile looks harmless on the surface, but it seems a little scary in this environment.

Fortunately, Xu Wen knew that she was here to help him.

Xia Ning ignored Zhou Xiaoji. She walked to an empty table and took out the contents of the file bag one by one.

The first thing she pulled out was a petition signed by every student in the class.

This item alone was enough to scare Zhou Xiaoji. He had been domineering for many years, but this was the first time a student dared to do this.

After that were some photos, which showed evidence of him secretly running cram schools outside and accepting gifts from classmates. His face was clearly captured in every photo.

In 2011, these matters were not strictly controlled and people basically turned a blind eye to them, but the premise was that you didn't let anyone get any concrete evidence.

Some things cannot be stopped even if they are weighed a thousand pounds.

When these things appeared, the situation in the office was instantly reversed, and the person being interrogated changed from Xu Wen to Zhou Xiaoji.

One of them was charged with trumped-up crimes, while the other had solid evidence.

Liu Qingye walked to the desk and patted it.

"Please explain, Mr. Zhou."

The sound was eerily calm.
