Chapter 23
‘A hundred times? Even if it was a thousand times, she deserved it!’
The principal’s arrival made the scene look even more heated.
Zhou Lin was surprised.
The principal, who was usually a friendly man, showed up personally. He must be really angry… just like how he was!
Zhou Lin quickly glared at Chi Wei.
“What are you waiting for?!”
“…”
Chi Wei was yelled at again. The little girl pursed her lips and did not say anything. She looked at Chen Ming instead.
Chen Ming was terrified.
“Why are you shouting?”
Chen Ming’s heart was pounding. He had finally successfully invited the genius to his school, but what if she felt insulted by this situation and decided to leave?
“What I meant was, you copy it a hundred times!”
“…”
???
Zhou Lin had a baffled expression on his face. He dug his ears in disbelief. Then, he tried to confirm that he did not hear the principal wrongly. Zhou Lin pointed at himself and said, “Me? Copy it a hundred times?”
The question made Chen Ming even angrier.
“Of course it’s you! Who else could it be? Are you trying to wiggle your way out of your punishment? You wish. That’s right, I’m referring to you.”
Chen Ming could no longer suppress his anger.
Zhou Lin blinked his eyes in confusion. He could not help himself but complain, “Principal, you don’t know how absurd this student is! She actually wrote in the exam paper…”
However, before he could finish speaking, Chen Ming forced him to stop.
‘This foolish teacher.
‘How did he not realize that Professor Chi herself was standing right in front of him?!’
If Chi Wei did not request to keep her identity a secret, Chen Ming would have exposed it long ago.
However, as a young talent who had already achieved remarkable accomplishments in countless fields, Chi Wei needed to be careful and had to protect her identity.
“Chi Wei’s answer is the most accurate.”
“Professor Chi saw her neighbor trying to plant some jujube trees so she lent a helping hand. That was it. She didn’t mean anything by it. It’s all in your imagination!”
After saying that, Chen Ming quickly turned his head towards Chi Wei. With a flattering smile, he said, “Weiwei, don’t pay any attention to him.”
…
???
What strange words the principal had spoken.
Everyone who had scorned Chi Wei was stunned.
Even Chi Wan, who had always displayed an obedient smile, almost lost her composure.
‘How much money did uncle and aunty donate to the school?
‘Why else would the principal personally show up?’
Chi Wan lowered her head and clenched her fists behind her back. She had never been so irritated before.
As for Zhou Lin, he felt that he had lost all of his dignity. Worst of all, it happened right in front of his students.
‘I did not do anything wrong.
‘This girl had no respect for the country’s scientific genius. Her punishment was merely to copy the professor’s biography ten times. What was wrong with that?’
“Principal Chen, we have a set answer for the test questions. What she had written was really unacceptable!”
“The proper answer had four layers to it.”
