Chapter 39 Fair Treatment
Chapter 39 Fair Treatment
"Lan Xuxue invested a lot of time and energy in preparing for the competition. From the initial conception to continuous testing and improvement, it took several months."
"Her instructor also spoke highly of her work, believing it to be very innovative and practical, and that it has great potential to achieve good results in the competition."
"The competition will officially begin next month. This competition is very important to the school. The school doesn't want this small matter to affect her performance and make her miss the opportunity to win glory for the school."
"So, classmate Nan Qiao, I hope you won't fuss over such a trivial matter. Besides, you haven't suffered any substantial harm. How about being generous and pretending that this never happened?"
Nan Qiao stared at the dean, his eyes full of stubbornness and indomitable spirit.
She raised her chin slightly and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Director, I want to know, is it because of her family background or because of her participation in the competition that you are so protective of Lan Xuxue?"
The Dean's expression changed slightly. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Of course, it's because participating in the competition is to bring honor to the school. The school values every student who has the potential to bring honor to the school. This is out of consideration for the overall development of the school."
Nan Qiao was not easily convinced by the dean's words, as his words were really high-sounding.
She continued to ask, "What if I also participated in the competition and won a prize, and my results were better than Lan Xuxue's, would you treat me fairly?"
The dean was slightly stunned, and then a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, as if thinking seriously about Nan Qiao's question.
Finally, he slowly said, "If you can really achieve excellent results in the competition, the school will naturally treat you equally and fairly."
Nan Qiao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. She had previously thought that Uncle Zhao Gang was too high-profile to ask her to participate in the competition using the nano-repair machine.
Now she knows that sometimes being high-profile is not for showing off, but for fighting for the fairness that she deserves.
Good people are often bullied, and good horses are often ridden, but if she demonstrates her value and ability at the right time, no one will dare to bully her.
Nan Qiao straightened his spine and said firmly, "Okay, Director, I'll remember your words. Please also keep your promise and punish Lan Xuxue accordingly once I get the results."
After saying that, Nan Qiao turned and left the dean's office.
The head teacher in the office was full of disbelief and even found it funny. What kind of amazing invention could a child from an ordinary family like Nan Qiao make?
This is a global youth competition. If Nan Qiao participates, he will only bring shame upon himself!
However, what the dean of studies didn't know was that with his current identity and position, he could only find out that Nan Qiao was an ordinary person, nothing more.
Nan Qiao came out of the dean's office with a look of indignation on his face.
Jiang Linkai had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Nan Qiao come out, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? What did the director say?"
Nan Qiao took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said slowly, "The director said this might be a misunderstanding. He also said that Lan Xuxue has signed up for the Youth Invention Competition, which starts next month. The school doesn't want this to affect her participation, so they hope I won't make a fuss about it."
"I asked the director if he was protecting Lan Xuxue because of her family background or the competition, and he said it was simply because they wanted to win glory for the school."
"I also asked if I would be treated fairly if I also participated in the competition and won a prize, and my results were better than Lan Xuxue's, and the director said they would treat us equally."
Jiang Linkai's eyes burned with anger after hearing this. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "This is so unfair! Lan Xuxue was clearly in the wrong, but she's being covered up just because of a competition. How can this school be like this?"
Nan Qiao looked at Jiang Linkai who was angry with her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She sighed softly.
She said, "I can't change the dean's decision now, but I've decided to participate in that competition. I want to prove myself with my strength and fight for fairness for myself."
Jiang Linkai looked at Nan Qiao's determined eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, I support you. Do you have any ideas for the entry? I'll think of one with you."
Nan Qiao looked at Jiang Linkai with gratitude and determination in her eyes.
She shook her head slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Jiang Linkai. I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to participate in the competition with me."
"I've actually been planning on participating in this competition, and I've almost finished preparing my entry. Don't worry about me. I'm confident I can achieve better results than Lan Xuxue in this competition."
Jiang Linkai frowned slightly, his face full of worry.
He unconsciously took a small step forward and raised his hands slightly, as if trying to grab something.
"Nan Qiao, I really want to help you. We can't just let Lan Xuxue bully us like this. I know some seniors from colleges and universities. If they can help, our chances of winning will be better."
Nan Qiao was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Linkai's anxious look.
She sighed softly, still shaking her head, and said, "Really, no need. The entry has already been made. All that's missing is the final adjustments and testing."
Jiang Linkai's hands slowly dropped, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
He looked at Nan Qiao's determined eyes and knew that he could not change her decision, so he said, "Well, you must do your best. If you need any help, feel free to come to me."
Nan Qiao smiled confidently and nodded.
Nan Qiao returned to the classroom, looking a little tired.
Wang Xiaoxuan immediately came over and asked with concern, "Qiao Qiao, how's the surveillance check going?"
Nan Qiao sighed softly and briefly told Wang Xiaoxuan the whole story.
After hearing this, Wang Xiaoxuan was so angry that her eyebrows raised and her eyes widened. She waved her fist angrily and said indignantly, "This is too much! How could Lan Xuxue do this? You must beat her in the competition and teach her a lesson."
At this time, the school radio sounded, announcing that there would be an open English class in the afternoon.
Wang Xiaoxuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Nan Qiao, is the professor who is teaching the open class this time also your private tutor?"
Seeing Nan Qiao nod, Wang Xiaoxuan immediately revealed a regretful expression and muttered, "Alas, I can't stay at your house today, and I can't attend the tutoring class."
She looked at Nan Qiao eagerly, as if she had missed a great opportunity. She looked like a puppy whose beloved bone was taken away, her face full of grievance and unwillingness.
Nan Qiao looked at Wang Xiaoxuan and couldn't help but smile. He consoled her, "Why don't you stay at my house again today?"
Wang Xiaoxuan quickly waved her hands, "No need, my mom is back. If I continue to live at your house, she'll definitely grab my ears and beat me."
