More and more people gathered at the agriculture faculty’s noticeboard and the doubts about Qiao Mei’s results also became louder and louder. There were also an endless stream of people spreading all kinds of rumors. Qiao Mei and the others did not know whether to laugh or cry from what they were hearing. The four of them had already noted down the people who were the gang leaders spreading the rumors.

If there was a chance in the future, they would definitely settle this score with each of these people and mess up their lives!

The strange thing was that Xie Jing was not among the people who voiced out that Qiao Mei had cheated. Xie Jing just stood at the edge of the crowd and quietly watched all this unfolding. If he was not making use of such a good opportunity to take down Qiao Mei, what was he up to?

Not long after, the dean of the agriculture faculty rushed over. He stood on top of the steps and said to everyone, “All of you, be quiet! If you have anything to say, speak up one at a time! Don’t gather here and cause trouble! Otherwise, you will be punished according to the school rules!”

Sun Jia went up to the dean agitatedly and shouted, “Professor! We’re suspicious of Qiao Mei’s results! Qiao Mei must have cheated!”

“What right do you have to say that she cheated? Do you have any proof?” the dean questioned.

Everyone fell silent. The dean was right. They just could not believe that a freshman had done better than them, given that they were the seniors. They could not accept this fact.

From afar, Wu Duo gave the dean of the agriculture faculty a thumbs up and said in admiration, “The professors from your faculty are really amazing. They’re much more serious than the professors from our faculty. He’ll definitely be able to clear your name.”

“Alright, alright, let’s go and get some food. I’ve watched enough and I’m hungry!” Li Xue held her stomach and said aggrievedly.

The four of them left before the dean of the agriculture faculty finished talking. All the teachers in the agriculture faculty thought that this incident was a show of very bad behavior and could not be tolerated. The group of eight people led by Sun Jia were all punished. As Sun Jia behaved the worst, she was given a major demerit.

This could be considered a very satisfying conclusion to the saga. No one questioned Qiao Mei t s capability anymore and most students were filled with admiration for her.

The top 50 students from the comprehensive quality test could continue with the next tests. The next subject was English. The country was starting to make some progress in foreign trade. Previously, no one took foreign languages seriously and felt that it was not useful or difficult to learn any. This was a subject that one could not cram and learn at the last minute.

Qiao Mei recited the essay with a fluent American accent. All the teachers were full of praise for her. By now, those who were jealous of her were convinced. Her graceful enunciation sounded better than what they heard in the cassette tapes. How could she have cheated? She was indeed a capable person!

The top 20 students in the English test could continue to take the next practical test. This test was a very simple one. The students had to plant the strawberry seeds in front of them and grow them within 20 days..
