After a week, the list of national awards was announced.

There was a lot of discussion in the college. Zhu Linjia, who usually keeps a low profile and only focuses on having fun, unexpectedly won a national award. Now she has become famous.

Some busybodies dug up last year's academic records and questioned the integrity of this year's list.

The school had no choice but to issue a statement to prove that the entire process was open and fair.

However, it's a pity that it's about to become even more open and fair.

The education inspection team arrived at the school administration building that afternoon.

I heard they acted very quickly, uncovering the truth and rooting out one leader after another without mercy.

In a society governed by the rule of law, legal measures are still necessary.

That day, when I went to the administrative building to find the counselor, I was afraid that there might be omissions in the details of my application when discussing it later. I even brought a voice recorder with me. Who would have expected all those things to happen afterwards?

The counselor's recording, Zhu Linjia's arrogant words, the academic records of the entire college from last year, and my application materials—I submitted everything to the Discipline Inspection Commission, reporting the cheating in the scholarship list.

But I didn't expect the inspection to come so quickly, to act so decisively, and to involve so many people.

Soon, the notification was posted on the school's official website.

More than half of the college leaders were dismissed, and worse still, expelled from the Party.

The entire college leadership underwent a major reshuffle.

As for Teacher Liu, he faced numerous charges: "abusing power for personal gain, accepting bribes, violating Party discipline and rules." He was punished, dismissed from his position, and had his employment terminated.

As for Zhu Linjia, the school revoked her scholarship, and from then on, she had nothing to do with any commendations or awards. Wherever she went, people pointed fingers at her. It didn't take long for her family to apply for a transfer.

The scholarship was reassessed, and unsurprisingly, I was selected.

With the scholarship and the cumulative academic awards I had received before, two months later, my application for an exchange student position at a university on the other side of the Pacific was finally confirmed.

In September of this year, I will go to the dream university across the ocean as an exchange student for two years of study.

Perhaps I am still not strong enough when I return.

But my mind is made up, and setbacks will only make me stronger!
