The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

School gate.

Zhang Li was on the phone with Pan Hai, surrounded by her teammates whom she had known for a month.

"I never expected Lu Qian to be this kind of teacher. He even leaked the exam questions in order to get high scores. Luckily, he was replaced."

"That's right, and there's Zhang Chao too. His class grades have plummeted, and we need to get an explanation."

"..."

The group discussed animatedly until one of them tentatively spoke up.

"What if Class 25 really was brought up by Lu Qian...?"

The chat came to an abrupt end.

Last night, the students in Class 7 took their report cards home. After the arguments and reprimands, some parents did think about this issue.

But they immediately dismissed the idea.

How could that be?

Those bottom-performing classes are full of students who just coast along; how could they possibly study?

Besides, if it really was Lu Qian who brought them up, wouldn't that prove they were wrong a month ago?

Impossible, impossible.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Li scoffed, "He doesn't deserve it. Doesn't he look in the mirror and see what kind of person he is? We're here today to expose Lu Qian's cheating."

This was her main purpose today; otherwise, wouldn't it have become a joke if she had taken the lead in changing shifts a month ago?

"I've already called Director Pan. We'll go in after we register!"

After receiving a call from Director Pan, the security guard asked the parents to register and then allowed them to enter.

It was time for morning self-study.

Zhang Li and the others walked confidently toward Pan Hai's office. The door was open, and they went straight in.

Pan Hai stood inside, tense and on high alert. He had just taken his blood pressure medication a few seconds earlier and hoped he wouldn't need it.

Upon seeing this familiar group of people, Pan Hai took a deep breath. This was no longer just a group with ill intentions; they practically had the words "looking for trouble" written all over their faces.

He was about to speak when Zhang Li interrupted, "Director Pan, could you please call over Teacher Lu Qian and Teacher Zhang Chao?"

A question mark rose above Pan Hai's head.

Did I hear that right?

He understands looking for Zhang Chao, but why look for Lu Qian?

"Mr. Lu is no longer the homeroom teacher of Class 7. Why are you looking for him?" Pan Hai asked, frowning.

"I suspect that Lu Qian leaked the exam questions to the students in Class 25 and falsified their scores. How could they possibly have ranked fifth in the grade?" Zhang Li said coldly.

Pan Hai's breath hitched. He was a little puzzled. Why was he being suspected of cheating again? Was it so hard to admit that someone else was excellent?

At the same time, he was speechless. What does Class 25 have to do with you?

But based on his experience and Zhang Li's attitude, if he didn't bring Lu Qian over, this person would probably go directly to Lu Qian.

Helpless, Pan Hai had no choice but to call Lu Qian and Zhang Chao, deciding to leave the battle to his office.

Lu Qian was watching the morning self-study session when he saw that the caller ID showed it was Director Pan, so he answered the phone.

Hearing Director Pan's heavy tone, Lu Qian was taken aback and frowned slightly.

This tone... it feels strangely familiar.

"Okay, Director, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qian left the classroom with the words "Study hard."

He had barely left when Yang Shun, who was delivering homework to the teacher, returned.

"Hey, where's Teacher Lu?"

"They've gone out."

"Oh." Yang Shun returned to his seat and casually said, "Hey, I just came back and saw a group of parents heading to Director Pan's office in a very aggressive manner. I wonder what they're up to."

My deskmate paused for a moment, then said, "It seems that Teacher Lu also went to Director Pan's office."

Yang Shun: "What?"

……

Not long after, Lu Qian and Zhang Chao met at the stairwell. Neither of them spoke, and they went to Director Pan's office together.

Lu Qian's expression became subtle when he saw the figures inside.

He's someone I know.

Lu Qian knocked on the open door, attracting the attention of everyone inside.

"Director Pan."

"Teacher Lu and Teacher Zhang are here. Please close the door behind you," Director Pan said.

Close the door.

Lu Qian walked past Zhang Li and came to Pan Hai's side. "Director, what's wrong?"

Pan Hai glanced at Zhang Li and the other parents and said, "These parents suspect that the results of Class 25 were falsified and believe that you leaked the questions."

Zhang Chao, standing next to me, pretended to be invisible, saying, "You can't see me, you can't see me... I'm messing with Lu Qian, I'm messing with Lu Qian..."

Lu Qian was taken aback, thinking he had misheard, but quickly realized he hadn't.

"Class 25? As far as I know, these parents aren't parents of students in Class 25, are they?"

Zhang Li sneered, "Of course we're not those kinds of parents, but since my child attends this school, parents should supervise the behavior of the teachers. Leaking exam questions and cheating are such egregious acts that are not allowed in any school."

Lu Qian nodded. "You're right, such a despicable thing is indeed not allowed. So you suspect I leaked the exam questions, you must have evidence, right? Show it to me and bring me to justice as soon as possible."

Zhang Li was speechless for a moment; she had no evidence whatsoever.

She just felt that Class 25's results were unreasonable, so she brought people over directly.

"What evidence do you need for something so obvious? It's ridiculous that your lousy class could get such high scores," Zhang Li mocked.

Lu Qian said calmly, "In other words, you can't produce any evidence and are slandering a teacher based on your so-called speculation."

After speaking, Lu Qian looked at the other parents, "What about you? Where's your evidence?"

The parents immediately fell silent. One of them nudged Zhang Li and said, "Zhang Li, didn't you swear last night that you were confident? Where's the evidence?"

Zhang Li felt a little guilty and suddenly stepped forward, raising her voice, "You definitely won't leave any evidence! You're a math teacher, getting exam papers is easy for you, you can just explain the problems to the students in class."

Pan Hai's face darkened. "This parent, watch your words. The exam papers were all sealed before the exam. Apart from the teachers who set the questions and those who reviewed them, all other teachers saw the papers with the students!"

"On the day of the meeting, Mr. Shao and I did invite Mr. Lu to help with the question setting, but Mr. Lu made it clear that he wanted to avoid any appearance of impropriety and refused to set the questions! In the end, Mr. Shao Mingrui set the math test questions all by himself."

"All the teachers present at the time heard about this."

Looking back now, Lu Qian's decision to avoid suspicion was incredibly wise!

Pan Hai thought no one would suspect such a thing, but it turns out there really were! And so many people!

They protected themselves from Zhang Chao, and also from the parents.

Double the wisdom!

However, one of the parents' remarks almost made Pan Hai faint.

"Isn't it possible that Teacher Shao leaked the exam questions to Lu Qian, and Lu Qian then leaked the questions to the students?"

The entire room fell silent.

Pan Hai was stunned. It seemed he had taken the right blood pressure medication; now he was just worried about taking too little.

Zhang Chao cast a surprised glance at him. "I wouldn't have said such a thing even when I was emotional that night. Whose subordinate is this?"

Lu Qian was stunned. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have given a thumbs up. He wouldn't have said that if he was looking for trouble.

Looking at this parent, he remembered that this was the same parent who had expressed concern to his face that Director Pan would make things difficult for his child last time.

I thought their first move was their peak, but I didn't expect them to have even more amazing moves to come.

Teacher Shao, you're really lucky you didn't come.

Shao Mingrui, who was grading papers, sneezed several times in a row.
