Everyone looked at Wu Rong with suspicion. Wu Rong continued speaking, "Those who deliberately lie will pay the price. Those who casually insult others online based on one-sided opinions should realize their mistakes. If they share the same thoughts as Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, then... we have clarified things today, but in the future, people will still point fingers behind our backs. Our reputation cannot be destroyed by mere words!"
The principal asked, "So Professor Wu means...?"
Wu Rong coldly stared at Jiang Chuchu and said, "In the end, isn't it that you refuse to admit your math skills are inferior to Rao Jie’s? That's why all this trouble has arisen? Your parents don't believe our explanation because of this, so it’s simple: let’s have a Public Contest. The math exam will be prepared by the Mathematics Department teachers, and under everyone's supervision, you two will compete again. If your score is higher than Rao Jie’s, then Rao Jie will voluntarily give up her opportunity for Graduate School Recommendation!"
An hour later, students from the school gathered in the square to watch the big screen as they listened to the broadcast.
Wei Qian, Long Yong, and others anxiously waited.
Before long, images appeared on the big screen. According to the earlier broadcast, they were there to explain what had happened in the Research Controversy at Shencheng University.
Soon, Rao Jie and Jiang Chuchu appeared on screen. Neither of their faces looked good.
They were in an empty room with only two desks and chairs, sitting side by side at a distance from each other.
The principal, along with the heads of the Mathematics Department and Department of Economics, counselors, and another key figure in this matter—Professor Wu—were present. To everyone’s surprise, besides the Inspection Team, several police officers stood at the corner overseeing everything.
Some people didn’t recognize Jiang Chuchu's parents, so the principal took a moment to introduce them. He then produced a sealed exam paper and asked Jiang Chuchu and her parents if they had any doubts about this impromptu exam being conducted under their supervision.
The Jiang family was absolutely confident in their child; after overseeing the process, they felt that this fair situation would ensure their daughter could definitely outperform Rao Jie.
They nodded happily. However, Jiang Chuchu's expression grew increasingly grim.
She was no longer certain she could beat Rao Jie.
But having come this far, there was no turning back.
The exam papers were handed to them, and once the timer started, both girls buried themselves in their work.
Jiang Chuchu felt anxious; her state of mind was not good. Yet she gritted her teeth and persevered; she absolutely could not let Rao Jie surpass her again.
On the other hand, Rao Jie felt calm because before coming here, Wu Rong had been by her side telling her that it was time to prove herself.
Wu Rong's words indicated his strong belief in her abilities.
Since Wu Rong trusted her so much, how could she let Wu Rong down? Moreover, when it came to their reputation, Rao Jie absolutely could not afford to lose.
The two of them were focused on their work, each with different feelings, unaware that the large screen had already divided into three sections. One displayed an overall view, confirming that no one was cheating, while the other two zoomed in on the exam papers of Rao Jie and Jiang Chuchu.
The screen showed their hands continuously writing, even capturing the process of jotting down notes.
