Chapter 257: 257 Believe (first update)

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Chu Jin with a cold gaze.

A sense of unwillingness filled her entire heart.

Below the stage, Sun Manyao also quickly chimed in, "Lin is right, please, Principal, make a decision as soon as possible to expel the plagiarizer from the campus, otherwise, I will drop out immediately!"

This was indeed the best moment to suppress Chu Jin, and she naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Plagiarism could be a big deal or a small matter, but once someone was expelled from school for plagiarism, Chu Jin really would have no chance of turning her life around.

At that time, this loser would be at her mercy.

Sun Manyao had a very thorough analysis of the situation.

Mo Qingyi suppressed the anger inside her and looked at Sun Manyao, speaking very calmly, "Fellow student, you keep saying that Chu Jin plagiarized, so do you have any evidence? Whom did she plagiarize? Who do you think in South Bridge No.2 Middle School has the level to write such an article?"

"Hehe," Sun Manyao sneered twice, her voice full of sarcasm, "You’re right, student. Since no one in South Bridge No.2 Middle School has such ability, do you think someone who doesn’t even fully recognize the 26 letters of the English alphabet can write it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin chuckled, a confident look flickering in her eyes, and a fluent English voice came through the microphone into everyone’s ears, "Can’t fully recognize the 26 letters of the English alphabet? Sun, are you joking?"

She hardly needed to say anything more; this fluent English was the best retort.

There she stood, her gaze lightly sweeping the audience below, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, her overly distinct features devoid of a hint of panic.

She looked just like a monarch who despises the world.

The aura emanating from her subdued the atmosphere below the stage.

Such a person was born for the stage.

Destined to live in the spotlight.

Sun Manyao was stunned and did not respond, not because she had nothing to say, but because she did not understand what Chu Jin was talking about at all.

Her academic performance was only average in class, and her English was even less proficient. At that moment, she simply did not know how to respond to Chu Jin’s words.

She did not understand how this loser could have changed so much.

Moreover, Chu Jin had spoken to her in English, and she could not continue in Chinese, could she?

Sun Manyao was a person who knew the times, and she understood that if she continued the argument, the only person who would lose face was herself.

So, at that moment, she could only bite her lip and reluctantly sit back in her seat.

There would be a long time in the future, and one day she would take proper care of this loser.

Seeing Sun Manyao sit down, the people from Class 16 also followed suit and sat down. Naturally, they wouldn’t jeopardize their own futures over an insignificant competition.

Moreover, it was already clear that Chu Jin was no longer the same Chu Jin.

The murmurs from below the stage grew louder.

The way people looked at Chu Jin shifted from the initial ridicule and severity to the current curiosity and confusion.

Meanwhile, the number of viewers watching the video broadcast increased, and so did the barrage of comments.

[Plagiarism? Hehe, it doesn’t exist! This girl’s spoken English is at least at level 8!]

[Haha, someone earlier said she couldn’t even recognize the 26 letters of the English alphabet, now doesn’t your face hurt?]

[Although I didn’t understand a word, I think it’s so cool! Ahhh!]

[I watched that 8-minute speech over and over, and I think this girl is going to be famous!]

[Honestly, I also feel that a high school senior couldn’t have written that article.]

[Agree with the poster above, I’ve watched the speech back and forth many times, the article is too profound, and it even makes use of quotations from world-famous literary works. Could a high school senior really understand world-famous literature? I think she really did plagiarize.]

[...]

Seeing Sun Manyao just sit down like that, Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flashed with a bit of scorn.

She had thought Sun Manyao was very capable, but it turned out she was nothing special after all.

It seemed that if the situation was to be salvaged, it would have to be up to her.

"Principal!" Lin Xiaoyue turned her head to look at the principal again, "Please make a decision quickly, no matter how good Chu Jin’s English grades are, she couldn’t have written that kind of article! Our South Bridge No.2 Middle School has always upheld a strict school ethos, how can we let a plagiarist ruin it?"

The principal was also in a difficult position. He never expected such a worthless student to have such a great transformation in such a short time!

And there was media present today.

At a time like this, he must show the correct attitude, to be a fair and just principal!

He couldn’t give the public any handle to criticize him.

The principal adjusted his glasses and slowly said, "Lin student, there’s no need to worry. Our school will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly..."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the students from Class Ten slowly broke into smiles.

But Lin Xiaoyue’s face twisted somewhat, she simply couldn’t stand to see a worthless student outshine her, a worthless student had so easily surpassed her.

"Principal, I don’t know what else you need to investigate. Didn’t you just say that, with Chu Jin’s ability, she simply couldn’t have written such an article? Not to mention Chu Jin, that essay used a multitude of famous quotes from world-renowned books. Even if it were me, I couldn’t write it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a light chuckle filled the air. Chu Jin slowly lifted her chin, her deep black pupils calmly looking towards Lin Xiaoyue, bringing with them a cold glint.

She slowly began to talk, "Lin student, if you lack culture, that’s one thing, but do you also have to stop others from being cultured? I can recite the world’s ten greatest literary works, is it so strange that I could write such an article?"

To be able to recite the world’s ten greatest literary works?

As soon as these words were spoken, the air went still for a few seconds.

Isn’t this bragging a bit too much?

After a few seconds of silence, the audience began to discuss amongst themselves.

The spectators watching the live stream were about to explode!

[It’s over, this girl is too arrogant!]

[You can recite the world’s ten greatest literary works? Why don’t you ascend to heaven?]

[You can recite the world’s ten greatest literary works? Hahaha, if she can recite the top 10 literary works of the world, I’ll eat shit on live stream!]

Lin Xiaoyue sneered even more, "You can recite the world’s ten greatest literary works? Aren’t you afraid of spraining your back from such big talk! You, a plagiarist, say you can recite the ten great works? Who here do you think would believe that?"

The world’s ten greatest literary works come from E Country, F Country, M Country, Y Country.

The ten literary works combined have a total of almost seven million words.

Moreover, coming from four different countries, many people may not even understand the real texts. Yet Chu Jin brazenly claimed she could recite them!

A bumpkin is a bumpkin, uttering words without thinking, wildly extravagant!

"Why would no one believe it?" Wang Kai, who had been silent the whole time, stood up, fixing his gaze on the resplendent person on the stage, he said with determination, "I believe that Chu Jin has not plagiarized, and I believe even more that Chu Jin can recite the world’s ten greatest literary works!"

Wang Kai was usually indulgent, but this was the first time he experienced such a thrilling moment in his life.

It was also the first time someone brought him such a shock!

There was a reason why the people from Class Ten believed in her so firmly.

So, at this moment, he was willing to believe in the person on the stage unconditionally.

"Damn, Kai, you believe such nonsense too?" Li Erpang tugged at Wang Kai’s sleeve, whispering, "Even if you want to pursue her, you don’t have to go this far, do you? Recite the ten great works? What kind of international joke is that? Sit down quickly, so people won’t laugh at you."

Wang Kai ignored Li Erpang’s words.

He just watched the person on the stage with a serious expression, with not a hint of jest on his face.

"And us too! We believe!" The people from Class Ten almost spoke in unison.

The scene was especially moving.

"Principal," Chu Jin’s gaze remained calm as she looked towards the principal, and she began seriously, "If I can recite the world’s ten greatest literary works, can it prove that I didn’t plagiarize?"

"You can recite the world’s ten greatest literary works?" The principal’s eyes were filled with scorn, "Chu Jin, I know that your English spoken ability is good, but the world’s ten greatest literary works involve the languages of E, F, M, Y countries. It’s already very impressive that you can understand them, let alone recite them! Just admit to the plagiarism, and I won’t expel you. But you will still be marked for a serious offense. Now, please, go back to your seat."

"Principal!" Lin Xiaoyue spoke to the principal very righteously, "I absolutely refuse to be in the same school as a plagiarist who ruins the school’s reputation! If you don’t expel her today, I’ll withdraw from school immediately!"
