159 159 I’ve fixed it
The students outside the principal’s office were the same as Tan Jing. They felt that Tan Rou was definitely screwed this time; even the surveillance cameras could not be found. They could only rely on Madam Li’s accusation and that note.
However, in the principal’s office, Tan Rou was not in a hurry. She was even in the mood to watch Director Wang’s performance with a teasing smile.
When Director Wang said, ‘find someone to fix it’, Tan Rou’s mouth curled up and she laughed.
Tan Rou pretended to be considerate and said to Director Wang with a smile, “Director Wang, you really have to worry about all these trivial matters in our school but no need to trouble others. I’ll fix it.”
As soon as she said this, everyone around was shocked.
Director Wang snorted in disdain. “You? Don’t overestimate yourself. Even if you don’t want to admit to your mistakes, you don’t have to break this. If you break the surveillance camera, can you afford to pay for it?”
Madam Li also frowned in disagreement. “Tan Rou, stop making any more mistakes. It wasn’t easy for your parents to raise you. You’ve already disappointed them enough by cheating. Do you want them to further compensate for the surveillance camera?”
Tan Rou did not care about Director Wang and Madam Li, nor did she back down because of their belittling words. She looked at the principal with clear eyes and with a serious look on her face, “Please let me try. I know what to do and it won’t be broken. Give me a chance to prove my innocence.”
The principal was already in a difficult position and did not want to simply come to a conclusion. He was a little surprised to see Tan Rou so determined to restore the video but he also saw a sense of calmness and persistence in Tan Rou.
The principal looked at Tan Rou. Seeing Tan Rou’s clear and confident eyes, he laughed loudly. This little girl was fearless. Even if the situation was unfavourable to her, she never gave up, nor did she cry and mess up the situation. Instead, she was firm on wanting to prove her innocence. What was the harm in giving such a child a chance?
The principal ignored Director Wang and teacher Li’s dissuasion and nodded with a smile. “Alright! Go ahead and try.”
Tan Rou smiled and nodded politely at the principal. She then walked to the computer and sat down.
Tan Rou’s hands flew across the keyboard, her slender fingers dancing as if she was playing a famous piano piece.
The computer screen was filled with codes, and strings of characters were arranged and combined. They looked messy, but in reality they were codes.
No one could tell what these characters meant. If it weren’t for Tan Rou’s overly serious expression, they would have suspected that she was just fooling everyone.
After a while, Tan Rou typed a few times on the keyboard, and a progress bar automatically appeared on the computer screen. It was growing at an extremely fast speed.
Although they couldn’t understand what Tan Rou was doing, the other three people in the room were shocked by Tan Rou’s actions. They subconsciously stared at the progress bar on the computer and held their breaths.
The number continued changing and when it reached 100%, Tan Rou hit the keyboard in a handsome manner and a video file appeared on the computer screen.
The corners of Tan Rou’s mouth curled up and her eyes sparkled. “I fixed it!”
Suddenly, the mysterious silence that accompanied Tan Rou suddenly broke loose. The students outside the door screamed in excitement. They felt that Tan Rou’s actions were like the hackers seen in those movies! It was godly! Although they couldn’t understand what was going on, Tan Rou was incredible!
Tan Jing’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. She was so nervous that she held onto her arm tightly.
Tan Rou! What was she doing?! How could she possibly know how to restore a video? Did she really find it?!
Meanwhile, Director Wang’s face turned pale. He stared at the screen in disbelief, as if he was making his last struggle. “What did you do? You just randomly drew a bunch of codes and proclaimed that you fixed it? I don’t believe it!”
The principal, on the other hand, was particularly surprised. He looked at Tan Rou and nodded repeatedly. He felt that he had been careless. There were actually crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the school.
Although he couldn’t understand it as well, Tan Rou clearly didn’t operate it randomly. Her movements were smooth but firm and she really found a video file.
The principal couldn’t wait to see if the video was the surveillance video that had disappeared. If Tan Rou really found it, she was a genius!
Tan Rou looked at the different expressions on everyone’s faces. When he saw how Director Wang’s face was filled with fear, she smiled nonchalantly.
Their show could finally come to an end as she would be reeling in the net!
