Chapter 15 15

Ji and Xiran. She saved like a penny and ten cents, was diligent and frugal, and studied at her own expense, hoping to have a better future. When she was free, she would watch a movie and date boys, but gradually focused and had nothing else to do. This diploma became the driving force of her life. No matter how hard and tiring she is, she still jumps like a spring, because she has hope in her heart. Now she is fired. Kon's world turns dark, and she loses her will to live. Ji He said calmly, "Don't be afraid, Jin Min, tell me the details." He already knows what to do. Jin Min said: "I was already very careful, but one of my classmates lent my homework to my girlfriend to read, and my girlfriend copied a few paragraphs accordingly, and it was revealed, and they confessed my name. I have always denied it, but more than ten classmates They all pointed out that I can buy homework here."

Jin Min was disheartened and covered his face with his hands tightly, not wanting to see anyone. At this time, a voice came from the door of the ward: "What's the big deal, my new partner and I have already talked about it, and the new store is about to open. Jin Min, come to my place to be the sales manager." It was Ji Tai who arrived. He sat next to Jin Min, "He wants to get a diploma, but he wants to find a good job. You already have a good job waiting for you, so what are you worried about?" Kon Min covered his face. He teased: "Drugs for a degree? You are the first woman like that. Most girls choose to commit suicide for love."

Ji He winked and told him to stop talking. But Ji Tai said: "What I said was the truth, and scared the two of us to death. Are you feeling better? Look at Ji He, his head is swollen from crying." Ji He quickly said, "I didn't cry." He got up, he had decided to do it. Ji Tai asked: "Where are you going at this time?" "I have something to do, you stay with Jin Min carefully." Ji He washed his face with cold water in the hospital bathroom, and then went to the school to see the head of the department. The secretary asked: "Mr. Ji, do you have an appointment?"

"I have something urgent, please inform Mr. Johnson." "You have something to do, it's the same to see the dean of students." "No, I must see Mr. Johnson." "but-------" At this moment, the office door opened, and Zhuang Xin came out. Seeing Ji He, he said, "Hey, my best student, Ji He, what's the matter, come in and tell me." The secretary smiled immediately: "Mr. Ji, you can go in now." Ji He rubbed his face with his hands and sat down. "Ji He, you look very tired, don't work too hard, just go around and smell the roses when you have time."

"Mr. Zhuang Xin, I came to see you because of Jin Min's expulsion from school." Zhuang Xin was suspicious, "Jin Min, yes, she violated the school rules, I gave her a chance to explain, but she was speechless." Ji He suddenly calmed down, and when he really went all out alone, his mood was calm. He said: "Mr. Zhuang Xin, you want Jin Min to give you the names of all the cheating students." Zhuang Sheng was very embarrassed, "Ji He, this matter has nothing to do with you." "What's the difference between this and the culling of witches in the nineteenth century?"

"Ji He, the school has school rules. Lieder is a century-old famous school, and students are not allowed to make fouls." "Mr. Johnson, the purpose of school is to educate, not to punish." Zhuang Xin was a little annoyed, "Ji He, as an educator, I have more than 20 years of experience, this class of students is really stubborn, I must be punished." Ji He was not afraid to argue: "In a class of students, almost half of them cheated, plagiarized, plagiarized, committed crimes knowingly, and committed strange risks. Mr. Zhuang Xin, don't you realize that the school is also responsible?"

"In a country, the people are all thieves. Should the government reflect on it? Is it feasible to blindly impose harsh punishments?" Zhuang Xin sat down again, took a deep breath, "Go on." "Leder is a famous school among famous schools. Students compete for their heads before entering the gate. The average score is over 90 and they have to accept interviews. However, students still feel that the homework is heavy and difficult to complete. Why? Is it because the school raises the level To the extent that it is difficult to climb high?" "That's exactly what the Red School honors."

"Kon Min is an excellent student. Her grades are unmatched. Can the school give her a chance?" "Facts that have been decided cannot be overturned." "The law is nothing more than human feelings. If there are 13 jurors making a decision, I believe Jin Min will have a chance." Zhuang Xin looked at him, "Red is not worried about not having outstanding students." Ji He smiled, "Yes, because they educated themselves: they entered the school with first-class honors in eight subjects and left with first-class honors, so no one ever suspected that Lieder was a bad school. "

"Mr. Ji, why are you dissatisfied?" "Mr. Johnson, let me confess to you completely: the person you are looking for is me, and I am the real witch." Johnny opened his eyes wide. "I, Ji He, are the culprit. Jin Min is just a scapegoat. I used her as a passer-by. She acted as a middleman without knowing it. All the cheating was done by me." Zhuang Xin showed a sad and indignant expression: "Ji He, you are my favorite student." "I have failed you, Mr. Johnson, and I am also ashamed of my classmates. Kon Min knew that he was expelled from school, and he couldn't think of committing suicide by taking drugs."

"How is she now?" "She was admitted to the hospital for first aid and has been unharmed." Zhuang Xin lowered his head and pondered. Ji He continued: "But I was blamed by my conscience, so I came forward and confessed the truth. Mr. Zhuang Xin, please expel me, please let Jin Min resume her student status, and at least give her a chance to transfer schools." Zhuang Xin asked: "What you said is the truth?" "Who would make a joke about this kind of thing? Juan Jinmin is just a slightly hard-working girl. How could she have the ability to write so many homework articles? They are all my masterpieces. I am a genius."

Zhuang Xin looked at him silently. "I've said everything I want to say, Mr. Johnson, if you don't give me an answer within 24 hours, I have no choice but to go to the media to seek justice for Jin Min." Zhuang Xin asked: "What is Miss Jin's relationship with you?" "It doesn't matter at all. I used her of the same language and race, and she was innocent and ignorant. I called her a mule. She was kept in the dark. Just imagine how stupid this girl is, and she committed suicide because she lost her degree." "Ji He, you break my heart, you were my best student." "I'm sorry I disappointed you." Ji He stood up, bowed slightly, and left gently, closing the door for Zhuang Xin. When I went outside, I felt like I took a step back. He was finally eliminated from the meritocracy. Ji He, a most ordinary young man, is not suitable to receive the strictest training in this most snobbish place. Back at the small town house, he walked into the basement and looked in the bathroom mirror. He seemed to have aged for twenty years, and suddenly turned into a little old man with wrinkled face and dry lips. He quickly took a shower with hot water, then opened the refrigerator to take out beer to quench his thirst, only to see a message from Kon Min on the refrigerator door: "Eat up two dozen eggs at once, pay quickly." Ji He felt desolate in his heart. Universities only look at scores. For them, a student is just a number. Their emotions have nothing to do with the school. If there is any problem, go to the dean of students. , has nothing to do with the school's magnificent Gothic complex. Do they know how Kon Min struggles for perfection? Probably not. He went back to the hospital and took Kon Min out of the hospital. Thinking that the three of them are already out-of-school youths, Ji He couldn't help laughing. The family members of the patients turned their heads and looked at them in disgust. Kon Min said softly, "I don't have medical insurance." "It's okay, the bill has been paid." "I will return it as soon as possible. In the future, I will never do such a stupid thing." Ji He hugged her, "Of course." Ji Tai saw that he was silent. Back home, they let Kon-min rest while Ji-tae lays on the couch watching an American football game. Ji Hedo eats peanuts beside him. He seems to have heard Ji Tai say: "You fool, now the three of them have lost their degrees, and your widowed mother hopes that you will become famous every day, how do you explain it to her?" Ji He blurted out, "What did you say?" Ji Tai turned his head, "I didn't say anything." As the game continued, Ji He seemed to hear Ji Tai say again: "How do you plan to live in the future?" Ji He thought: "At best, go home and find a job, live an ordinary life as before, and get married and have children at the right time." Ji Tai seemed to hear his answer, and he said, "Then you made this trip in vain." The brothers are connected, and Ji He said softly: "I have a deeper understanding of myself." At this time they heard Jin Min crying, and Ji Tae dropped everything to go to see her. The next day, Jin Min hid in his room and refused to see anyone, even refusing to open the window. Ji Hewen asked, "Are you going to die like this?" She sobbed: "I might get better in ten or eight years." Ji He drags her out of bed, and Kon Min rolls to the floor and hits his head. "Be brave, struggle, don't be obedient, and fight against adversity to the end." Kon Min sadly said, "After fighting for so many years, I'm really tired, please let me lie down." "What is this? The eight-year war of resistance is still going on. Stand up straight for me." Ji Tai came in at this moment, "Ji He, the school is looking for you urgently." Ji He hurried downstairs to listen to the phone. It's Zhuang Xin's secretary: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhuang Xin has asked you to meet in his office at three o'clock in the afternoon." Jin Min's phone rang upstairs, and Jin Min had to listen. "Yes, I can attend at three o'clock in the afternoon." Ji Tai snorted, "Isn't it already fired, and you still go to see them?" Ji He said: "Jin Min, if you can't walk, I will go for you." Kon Min didn't know, "Why did you talk to me?" Ji He didn't make a sound. In a blink of an eye, Jin Min learned the truth of the matter, but she couldn't believe it, "Ji He, are you covering me up? Are you taking matters into your own hands?" Ji He answered frankly, "Exactly." "Ji He, why do you do this!" "I'll go to Johnson's office later, don't talk, sit in a corner and let me speak." "Ji He, it's all my fault." Ji He held her down, "Jin Min, shh----" Ji Tai got angry, "You two are crazy." Jin Min burst into tears as she hugged Ji He tightly. Ji He sent her shoulder, "No problem, no problem, degree is more important to you." Kon Min just shed tears. "You shower and change, and we go to the meeting together." Jin Min was very weak, she said softly, "Golden stars are popping up in front of my eyes." Ji Tae said, "I'm the driver." He sent the two of them to school, and Ji He walked into Zhuang Xin's office with Jin Min's shoulders. Zhuang Xin opened the door and came out, "Please come in, both of you." He looked at the two students and was speechless for a moment. They were both the top five students in the department, the honor of any school, he regretted his recklessness, and now, both of them would be lost. Ji He wanted to speak, but Zhuang Xin raised his hand to stop him. Jin Min walked to the corner, he was pale and weak after coming out of the emergency room of the hospital, and he looked even more pitiful. Zhuang Xin said: "Ji He, I have considered what you said, and you have a reason: the students have moral problems, the school should take part of the responsibility, try their best to educate them, and should not sweep the ground and cause trouble." Ji He coughed. "But college students should know that cheating is not tolerated by the school." Ji He didn't make a sound. "We will have a meeting to review the teaching process, revise and improve." Ji He raised his head and took a look at Jin Min. "Miss Jin, you can drop out of school automatically." Ji He quickly said: "Mr. Zhuang Xin------" "This is a great tolerance, and it is also the last chance. Ms. Jin can apply to other schools and continue her studies." Kon has let out a sigh of relief. "Mr. Ji, it is inconvenient for us to keep you, so you should drop out of school automatically." Ji He felt that this was the best ending. "Ji He, this is what the Chinese call 'fork and knife for a friend'." Ji He didn't make a sound. There was a moment of silence in the office. Finally, Zhuang Xin said: "The school does not keep records, so you can do it yourself." Jin Min followed Ji He out, staggered, and Zhuang Xin hurriedly supported her. Kon Min lowered his head, very ashamed. Ji Tai was waiting for them outside, and asked anxiously, "What do you want to say?" Ji He whispered a few words in his ear. Ji Tai nodded, "Red is completely unsuitable for the three of us." Kon Min said softly, "It's all my fault." "Everyone makes mistakes, remember, don't make the same mistake twice." Kon has paid a high price. Ji Tai said: "Don't review the review, put the whole thing behind, and don't mention it again in the future, let's work hard for the future." Ji He laughed, "I didn't expect Ji Tai to be the most active today." That night, Jin Min quietly said to Ji He: "There is a world of difference between expulsion and dropping out of school, you save my life." Ji He replied: "Jin Min, you are usually the most upright and forthright, why is your mother today, the sooner this unpleasant matter can be put aside, the better, and the lessons learned can be corrected in the future. There is nothing good about it." "Ji He, give me some advice." "You should start looking for a new school." Jin Min nodded, she hesitated a bit, "If someone asks the reason, how should I answer?" "Say Red isn't for you." Jin Min could only smile wryly. "Go, go and rest, tomorrow is another day." Kon hugged him behind himself, leaning his face against his back. Ji He said: "It's not good to ask my girlfriend to see it." "You have a girlfriend?" "Hey, dogs look down on people." "Ji He, you sacrificed your life for others." Ji He didn't make a sound, he was like a deflated rubber ball, slumped to accept the arrangement of fate. Because he didn't have any extravagant hopes, he slept very deeply, dreamed some simple dreams, childhood clips, laughing and laughing, and played very happily with the children. Someone put a hand lightly on his shoulder. Ji He still wanted to sleep a little longer, thinking: "If I just keep my eyes closed, maybe he will walk away wisely." But Ren Ke said: "Ji He, I have been waiting for more than half an hour." It was Bian Lin's voice. Ji He had to open his eyes, but it was the lawyer Bian who was always in high spirits. "I heard that you have slept for three days and three nights." Ji He smiled wryly, "It's not interesting to wake up." Bian Lin nodded, "A little setback brings bitterness." "I'm out of school, lovelorn and unemployed, isn't that serious?" Bian Lin let out a sigh of relief, "Ah, Mr. Ji, let me tell you the truth, those things don't count at all. In the past ten years, my parents passed away, my investment failed and my property was repossessed by the bank, and the best My friend betrayed me and lost my chance of promotion, and my lover turned out to have a wife, so he came to my door and hit me with his hand." Ji He's eyes widened. She didn't explain, who could see that she, who was so shrewd, would suffer such a big loss. "In addition, a cat I raised since I was a child has disappeared mysteriously and has not been found so far." "Like a soap opera." "I'm rude, I'm rude," Lawyer Bian sighed, "Do the math, there is no one thing to be proud of, and there are often eight or nine things that are not good in life. I have an idle chapter called 'More than eight or nine', you understand." Ji He found a cloth shirt to cover, got up, rinsed his mouth and washed his face. "Did Lawyer Bian drop by, or did he come to visit?" "I'll bring you this." She put the file gently on the table. When Ji He saw it, he was stunned. It was Ji He and Jin Min's past performance records at Lieder University, and each had a decent dropout certificate. "How come these documents are in your hands." Bian Lin smiled, "What do you think?" Ji He was suspicious, "I don't believe it." Bian Lin shook her head, "Mr. Ji He, so you are all children, do you think you can pass the test smoothly by teaching the head of the department a lesson with your upright face?" Ji He opened his mouth wide. "That kind of old fox who has been in the so-called academia with complicated personnel and affairs for nearly half a century has at least eight faces. Will he be afraid of making noise from you?" Ji He took a deep breath, "Is it all because of you?" "Ji Tai told me the whole thing, I rushed over immediately, what face do I have, it's not about Ji Boxin." Ji He opened his mouth wide and closed it again. He thought he was eloquent, so he beat the head of the department to give in, but he thought about it. "Ji Tai himself was expelled, why didn't he ask you for help?" "Ji Tai doesn't want to continue his studies at all, which is different from your two ambitions." Ji He lowered his head, "What method do you use?" "There are only two ways in the world: coercion and temptation." Ji He exclaimed, "How about convincing people with virtue?" I didn't expect Bian Lin to be so happy: "It depends on you, no one else has succeeded." "No no, Bian Lin, there is righteousness in the world, mixed with manifolds----" "Ji He, you've lost a lot of weight, so you can see that this matter is worrying you." "Oh, it turned out that Mr. Ji was the one to do it again." "His network is wide and close, and that's one of his achievements." Ji He said: "It's a pity that our two brothers are unworthy sons." "Everyone has his own ambitions, and besides, law firms are full of ambitious young talents." "And you, Bian Lin, you are the best among them." Bian Lin sighed: "I am already the boss, and Ji Boxin trusts me. I am already standing on the platform. Sometimes I see the latecomers scrambling to climb the ladder, and you push me and push each other behind me. It's really boring." Ji He nodded. "Mr. Ji's illness has given me a great inspiration. Whether it is right or wrong, it turns out that it has only been a few decades, and the supplies that one person can enjoy are extremely limited." Ji He smiled wryly, "You can only say that if you have won everything. We have to work hard to improve. How can we take care of the old and the young if we can't squeeze the bus in the old residence hall for the rest of our lives?" Bian Lin patted him on the shoulder. "Lawyer Bian, when do you plan to stop?" "Ji He, I came from a bitter background. Frankly speaking, when I was a child, I didn't have enough clothes to eat. Ice cream was a luxury. I always ate leftovers from adults, wore old clothes from my brothers and sisters, never knew what traveling was, and I didn't have any toys." "Bian Lin, you have a generous temperament and don't care at all." Bian Lin continued: "This income maintains my self-esteem and self-sufficiency, and I will not give up easily." Kon Min is like her. However, has Kon Min achieved the same success as Bian Lin? Kon stood at the door, listening to all this in his heart. Bian Lin turned her head, "Jin Min, come in and sit." Jin Min said softly: "Lawyer Bian is our mentor." "I'm afraid you don't like to hear it. One outdated sentence will blow us away." Jin Min quickly said, "I don't know how to thank you." Bian Lin said: "Jin Min, you are extremely smart, but it is dangerous to rely on being smart, so don't let your smartness put you off." Jin Min's whole face was burning red, as if she had been slapped twice, but she had the courage to lower her head and said, "Thank you, Lawyer Bian, for your advice." "Mr. Ji asked you two to transfer to Xuanli University, and he has made arrangements for you." "I have no relationship with Mr. Ji." Jin Min, who is usually as stubborn as the king of Hou, even has his neck flushed. Fortunately, Bian Lin immediately asked, "Ji He, are you still moving?" Ji He replied: "I am out of my body, the original god has not yet returned to his place, I am extremely tired, I just want to sleep." Bian Lin smiled and showed him a photo. Ji He was really surprised, "Yiwen!" He snatched the photo over, and the curious Jin Min also poked his head over to look at it. "Yo, beauty." She took the photo casually. Ji He quickly snatched it back, with infinite emotion, his hands trembling slightly. The photo is a candid shot, Yiwen's face is divided into seven parts, sitting in a coffee seat, chatting with friends, her face is calm. Kon asked, "What is this place, Cafe Peace, in Paris?" Attorney Bian shook his head, "This is the Peace Cafe in California, in the tourist area near Sunset Boulevard." Ji He stared at the photo, is Yiwen a beauty?Not necessarily, but her face and facial features have a special temperament, which is unique in Ji He's mind. Ji He said, "She's married." Jin Min was extremely sympathetic: "Poor Ji He." At this moment, lawyer Bian said, "Jin Min, you can make black tea. I'm very thirsty."
