Even the homeroom teacher praised him, saying, "Cheng Tong, well done." Cheng Tong became even more smug. He glanced at me, his eyes filled with disdain and provocation, as if to say: "Did you see that? This is my strength." I was speechless. This guy really knows how to boast about himself. If he truly had won first place, why would anyone report him for cheating? What a fool.
The Vice Principal of Instruction continued speaking: "In our school, there are some students who are self-righteous and look down on others." "He never values the honor of the school." "Such students should be despised and avoided." "If he remains unrepentant, all the teachers and students must unite to resist him." "We cannot allow a single rotten apple to spoil the whole barrel."
Hearing the Vice Principal's words, the entire school buzzed with whispers and speculation. Everyone was guessing who the Vice Principal was talking about. Cheng Tong and his lackeys were also whispering among themselves, occasionally glancing at me, seemingly convinced that I was the one being referred to. I scoffed quietly. These people are truly foolish.
The Vice Principal of Instruction continued to speak. Just then, a black sedan pulled up outside the school gate. The door opened, and three people stepped out. They appeared to be around thirty years old, dressed in suits, and looked quite imposing. They stood at the entrance, gazing towards the playground.
As soon as the students saw these three individuals, they erupted with curiosity. "Who are they?" "I don't know, but they seem impressive." "What are they doing at our school?" "No idea." The students' curiosity was piqued, and even the homeroom teacher felt intrigued. He asked us, "Do you know who they are?"
The students shook their heads, saying, "We don't know."
The homeroom teacher frowned.
Clearly, he was also confused by the appearance of these three individuals.
The Vice Principal of Instruction was still speaking.
At that moment, the three people walked onto the playground.
One of them said to the Vice Principal, "Hello, we are staff members from the City Education Bureau."
"We are members of the Mathematics Competition Inspection Team."
"We're here to investigate the situation regarding the last competition."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in chatter.
"The Mathematics Competition? Is it about the one from last week?"
"Yes, that's the one."
"What are they investigating? Did someone cheat?"
"I don't know, let's wait and see."
The homeroom teacher recognized the three individuals.
He excitedly told us, "I know them; they are members of the Mathematics Competition team."
"I met them during a meeting in the city."
Cheng Tong looked surprised. "Really?"
The homeroom teacher nodded. "Of course."
Cheng Tong was thrilled.
He glanced at me with a proud expression.
The Vice Principal of Instruction also recognized the three individuals.
He immediately put down the microphone and warmly shook their hands.
"Hello, I am the Vice Principal here."
"Welcome to guide our work."
"Our students have always been excellent; this time they will surely bring honor to the school."
The members of the Inspection Team smiled and replied, "Hello."
"We're here to find Cheng Tong."
"Where is he?"
Hearing this, the Vice Principal of Instruction was very pleased.
He thought Cheng Tong's performance had been recognized by the city, so they sent people to commend him.
He called out loudly, "Cheng Tong, come over here!"
"People from the city are looking for you!"
Cheng Tong was extremely excited. He quickly jogged over to the Vice Principal of Instruction.
"Principal, I'm here," he said.
The Vice Principal of Instruction patted his head and said, "Cheng Tong, someone from the city has come to commend you."
"You really bring glory to the school."
Cheng Tong smiled shyly and replied, "It's what I should do."
The Vice Principal of Instruction looked pleased. He was full of confidence in Cheng Tong's performance and had even started celebrating in advance.
"I knew you would definitely come in first."
"Very good, keep it up."
"Make sure to maintain this in the future."
A member of the Inspection Team took out a piece of paper. One person said, "This is the information we have gathered."
"We're here to announce the results of our investigation."
The Vice Principal of Instruction excitedly snatched the paper and said, "I'll read it."
"Sure, go ahead," they replied.
The Vice Principal of Instruction put on his glasses and began to read.
"Students, I am very happy to tell you that our school's Cheng Tong performed excellently in the Mathematics Competition."
"He achieved first place."
"Let's applaud for his hard work."
The playground erupted with enthusiastic applause once again.
