"Dad, is there really no way to change?" Wu Lili looked at Liu Wei'an's lonely back when he left, feeling extremely distressed.
"Maybe this matter is not a bad thing for him." Wu Sanqing saw the confusion in Wu Lili's eyes and said with a smile: "This kid is a talent."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Wu Lili was confused.
"One hundred and thirty-six candidates, only one got a perfect score, and that was Liu Wei'an. Chinese is the most difficult test paper to get a perfect score, but with Teacher Longju's harshness, he couldn't find any faults, and he could only find fault with his calligraphy. But in the end I still gave it a perfect score." Wu Sanqing's appreciative tone made Wu Lili a little jealous. Wu Sanqing is a very noble person. Even as a daughter, she has never received such high praise. Although she has been praised a lot since childhood, she can still distinguish between comforting praise and sincere praise. But what’s more is joy. The better Liu Wei’an is, the more he proves that he’s not wrong about the person. Suddenly I noticed the key point in my father’s words.
"Teacher Long Ju? It turned out to be the test paper corrected by Teacher Long Ju?" This can't be blamed on Wu Lili for making a fuss, mainly because Mr. Long Ju is so famous. He is a famous writer in the country and a world-class litterateur. Wu Sanqing can only do so in front of him. Although he considers himself a junior, Mr. Long Ju is not a resident teacher at Xinfeng University. He is a guest guest. An occasional lecture can cause a sensation in Tianfeng Province and become the headline of the next day's news.
Even in the college entrance examination, it is difficult to ask Mr. Long Ju to correct the test papers. A mere special examination can alarm him. If Wu Sanqing hadn't said it from Wu Sanqing's mouth, Wu Lili would have thought it was a lie.
"The person who graded the test paper was Mr. Long Ju's student. He is a professor at Xinfeng University. Because he saw that Liu Wei'an's article was so good, he asked Mr. Long Ju to appreciate it. I knew that Mr. Long Ju's evaluation of this test paper was What?" Wu Sanqing looked at his daughter, whose face was a little flushed due to excitement, and sighed inwardly, it's not a good idea to keep a daughter in college. He smiled and said four words.
"A talent of a century."
"Ah!" Wu Lili exclaimed, a century-old talent, this evaluation is too high. It should be noted that the president of Xinfeng University has only received the evaluation of a "century-old tree". The evaluation of a century-old talent is no less than a "century-old tree". But who is the president of Xinfeng University and who is Liu Wei'an? There is no difference between the two. Can't be compared.
"But -" Wu Lili immediately realized from the surprise that since the evaluation was so high, why would Liu Wei'an be eliminated? This is illogical.
Wu Sanqing showed a calm look, habitually held the book in his hand, and said: "First of all, you have to understand what a university is. As a non-profit institution, as the highest institution of education that delivers talents to the dynasty, in principle it is All operating expenses should be state expenditures, but in fact, many years ago, the state stopped spending on universities. Even if they occasionally allocate funds, they have names and targets. The university has actually become a bloodless institution. If a transfused patient is to be healthy, new blood must be transfused, which is where the special enrollment comes in.”
"Where did college students pay so much tuition every semester?" Although Wu Lili has never worried about money, she also knows that college tuition is a big burden for most families.
"Dad doesn't know where the money went, but I can tell you that the income from special admissions accounts for 15% of the entire school's profit every year, and all of this income is used as teachers' benefits and bonuses." Wu Sanqing said with a hint of tone. He laughed at himself, "Otherwise, how could we have attracted so many outstanding teachers to teach at Xinfeng University just by relying on a good platform?"
"Doesn't this mean that the exam is just a formality, and the ultimate goal is to buy it with money." Wu Lili shouted, "This is not fair, this is not fair to those who have spent ten years studying hard day and night."
"There is nothing absolutely fair in the world." Wu Sanqing looked at her daughter and did not say anything about Liu Wei'an's performance being replaced. Firstly, there was no evidence and it would be useless to say it. Secondly, there were conflicts of interest involved. It's too complicated, and he hasn't challenged the strength of the entire interest group. Not to mention him, even the president of Xinfeng University is powerless to deal with this situation. He can only try to control the quota of special admissions students, but cannot directly cancel it.
Because that is tantamount to challenging the interests of teachers in the entire education system. Once he does that, he as a principal will have reached the end. For ordinary people, those who are truly talented and learned will still be admitted. Liu Wei'an is one of the unlucky ones. The nine places have already been reserved. If the Yuan family does not show up, Liu Wei'an will be one of the ten places. One, but unfortunately. The Yuan family signed up at the last moment, so Liu Wei'an could only be ruthlessly eliminated.
From the school's point of view, the school has done nothing wrong. To maintain the operation of the school, it cannot do without the support of all walks of life. This is an exchange of interests. The school gives their children fame, and they bring practical benefits to the school. , and Liu Wei'an's enrollment is also an exchange of interests. The short-term exchange of interests is that the school trains him and teaches him knowledge, and he pays tuition. The long-term interest is that the graduation certificate can enable Liu Wei'an to have a better future in work, family and life. There is a lot of help from the society, and the school may be able to get some feedback after Liu Wei'an's success. Of course, this feedback is uncertain, maybe there is, maybe not.
It is also an exchange of interests. When big interests arise, the school will naturally abandon the small interests. Logically speaking, the school does not abide by integrity and is an immoral act. But if you insist that the school owes Liu Wei'an anything, it really doesn't matter. No.
Of course, Wu Sanqing didn't want to tell his daughter these things. He didn't want her to be exposed to the dark side of this society too early. He pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Liu Wei'an that you can visit Mr. Long Ju. If you can become Mr. Long Ju, As a disciple, you can directly be specially recruited to enter the university."
"But, what if Mr. Long Ju doesn't accept it?" Wu Lili worriedly asked. Mr. Long Ju is too famous, and Liu Wei'an is just an unknown person. If he wants to become Mr. Long Ju's disciple, the probability is 50% higher than that of winning. It must be even lower.
"Then don't be discouraged. Talented people will shine wherever they go." Wu Sanqing thought for a few seconds and said: "Besides Xinfeng University and Taojiang University, there is another university that has the qualification to be knighted."
"Which one?" Wu Lili asked in surprise. He knew that Liu Wei'an's main purpose of going to college was to get a title, but he didn't expect that besides Xinfeng University and Taojiang University, there were other universities with this qualification.
"Xinglong University!"
