Chapter 190: Did Gu Jin Commit Plagiarism?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the original book, the original owner of the body had questioned Gu Jin a few times in class. Tao Yan had helped Gu Jin slap Gu Yang’s face. When Ruan Xueling, the one-of-a-kind mother, came to school to scold Gu Jin without any explanation, she also spoke up for Gu Jin and questioned Ruan Xueling, the female lead’s biological mother.
Even though Gu Jin kept being rebellious and going against her, Tao Yan still treated Gu Jin like she was her first love. That was why Gu Jin picked up her pen and wrote an essay under Tao Yan’s nagging during the college entrance examination.
However, Tao Yan did not seem to have a good impression of the original body. Or rather, she hated pretentious girls.
Tao Yan slammed a stack of answer sheets on the podium and said, “Your Chinese exam was very bad this time. After a summer break, everyone can even forget to write ancient poems. As a student of Class 1, a certain student actually made three mistakes in a row. I’m very shocked.”
Lu Mao said weakly, “Ms. Tao, you can just say it’s me.”
Tao Yan raised her eyebrows. “You’re quite self-aware. Little Fatty Lu, stand up and recite the ‘Pipa Poem’ for me first.”
Lu Mao was caught off guard.
One of the reasons why he was lacking in Chinese was because he couldn’t memorize ancient poems and ancient literature. He recited the entire “Pipa Poem” and stuttered, causing Gu Jin to yawn.
The corners of Gu Yang’s lips curled up slightly. She suddenly felt like she was in her third year of high school before she transmigrated.
Just as she was enjoying the show, she suddenly heard Tao Yan say, “Sit down.
Gu Yang, recite.”
Gu Yang was stunned.
Fortunately, the original host was a top student. She had the memories of the original host and recited the poem as if she were reading it.
“Little Fatty Lu, isn’t your goddess Gu Yang? Why don’t you learn a thing or two from her?” Tao Yan looked at Lu Mao in disdain before flipping open the stack of answer sheets. “Class I’s composition score is very poor this time. The average score is three points lower than the best Humanities class. Is it that difficult?”
Hearing that the entire Class 1 said it was difficult, Tao Yan picked up an answer sheet and said, “Was it difficult? I remember this famous saying was mentioned when I was expanding your extracurricular knowledge with you last semester.
“Look at Gu Jin’s essay. It’s exactly 800 words. Not a single word is superfluous. Her insight is unique. All the teachers in the grade can’t find any mistakes in her essay. I’ll read it to you…”
Tao Yan read Gu Jin’s essay affectionately and commented on it as she did so.
Halfway through, many students in class gathered around and whispered.
Tao Yan was talking excitedly when she heard the commotion below. She frowned and stopped. She slapped the test paper on the podium and said unhappily, “Why? Did all of you score 50 marks? Don’t you have the patience to listen to a full-marks essay?”
“No. Ms Tao, we just found some problems.” He Bowen, the Chinese representative, looked at Gu Jin and hesitated.
Tao Yan said, “If there’s a problem, stop hemming and hawing. Tell me clearly.”
Yao Bingxue, the biology representative at his desk, stood up first and said, “Ms. Tao, we just realized that Gu Jin’s essay is very similar to the latest article in the Renown Literary Magazine He Bowen bought. We think that Gu Jin might have used that article for reference.”
Yao Bingxue’s words caused a commotion in Class 1.
“What the f*ck? Are you saying that Gu Jin plagiarized her essay?!”
“Omigod. It’s true! Yao Bingxue said it’s very similar, but it was just putting it gently. It’s almost the same. What reference? It’s clearly copying!”
Renown Literary Magazine was the most popular literary magazine at the moment. The articles in it were all written by famous people. Many language teachers recommend students to read it to accumulate content and materials for use in essay writing during the college entrance examination.
Hence, many students in the class ordered it. When they heard Yao Bingxue’s words, many of them took out the latest issue of the magazine to read. Gu Yang also had that magazine in her hands. She flipped it open and when she saw the pen name, she understood..
