Chapter 131 - 128 middle of the third watch
As the classroom buzzed with discussions, teachers from the next exam room, having overheard, poked their heads out to look. Qin Xi clearly heard Li Xianglu’s voice and frowned.
Wang Aijun remembered that this girl was usually timid; how come she suddenly became so assertive? He was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "Comrade, please observe the examination discipline. There are military officers outside, and if you don’t listen to the advice, we will have to bring someone in to take you out."
Li Xianglu sneered: "Teacher Wang Aijun, you really have some nerve. I came to look at the exam room the day before yesterday, and you blatantly left my name off the list. I wonder what the education bureau will do about someone like you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Aijun instantly panicked. Mr. Li, another teacher, spoke up: "Teacher Wang, did you really miss copying a name? We checked just a few days ago, one seat for each person. If there is someone assigned to this seat, then there shouldn’t be a mistake. Why not go to the office to verify it before we continue?"
Wang Aijun’s face turned red with a colleague’s remark, but he stubbornly said: "We can verify, but this student must not continue with the exam for now."
This is shameless to the extreme!
The other two teachers began to worry, indeed. Even if there was a mistake on the name list, this student would have to stop taking the exam and wait for verification. But with so many names on the original list, by the time the verification is done, it would be too late to continue the exam.
Li Xianglu smiled and said: "What does my taking the exam have to do with the check? Even if I finish my papers, if the original list truly doesn’t have my name, then my paper will be invalidated anyway. It won’t have any impact. Is it perhaps that Teacher Wang Aijun is feeling guilty?"
"You!" Wang Aijun, infuriated, was about to speak when two people walked into the classroom from outside: an older man and Qin Xi.
Li Xianglu relaxed when she saw Qin Xi, but why had he left the exam room? Had he finished the exam and come out for verification?
Wang Aijun also paused upon seeing Qin Xi but was startled by the older man, respectfully addressing him: "Director, what brings you here?"
