Chapter 136 The middle-aged teacher with the lost certificate took the two of them to the familiar place...
The middle-aged teacher led the two of them to the office of the director of the admissions office of the district education bureau. Before they even entered, their voices had already been heard.
"Old Ji, I have something I need your help with."
Ji? ?
Xu Heye's ears moved slightly.
"Old Zhu, why are you here?" The director of the admissions office, also known as Old Ji, looked over when he heard the voice, stood up from his office chair with a smile, and strode over.
"I have something to ask you." Teacher Zhu walked into the office with a smile and waved to Xu Heye and Lian Yushu, "Come in quickly."
The two followed him into the office, and Teacher Zhu said, "Director Ji, this is what's going on. This child was the top scorer in the district high school entrance exam this year, but her admission letter was lost. Without this certificate, she won't be able to complete the enrollment procedures when school starts in September."
So I went to our school's admissions office and asked them to reissue my certificate. But the school has sealed my student records. They don't have the authority to open them. Could you please provide me with a note authorizing me to issue a certificate?
"What's going on?" Director Ji frowned. He looked at Xu Heye with a hint of blame in his eyes. "Why didn't you keep such an important thing safe?"
"I—" Xu Heye was about to explain when Teacher Zhu took over, "It's not the child's fault."
"Give me the certificate from the police station." Teacher Zhu took the envelope from Xu Heye and handed it to Director Ji. "Take a look. This is the certificate from the police station."
"The child is helpless. He never imagined there could be such a bad person."
"Qu Zhuangyuan, a future talent for Peking University or Tsinghua University, it's a shame he can't continue his studies. Please write a certificate and I'll take it back so I can make a replacement certificate for him."
Director Ji frowned. "A sealed student record cannot be unsealed without reason. We don't have a precedent here."
Teacher Zhu: “If there is no precedent, then create one.”
"To deny a student their eligibility to continue their studies simply because their admission letter has been lost is a major loophole in the education system. If there is a loophole, it must be closed."
Director Ji: "Let me think about it."
Teacher Zhu: "Don't think about it. As educators, shouldn't we serve our students?"
Director Ji glanced at him, then said, "But how can you be sure that this is the real district champion, Xu Heye?"
"What if some criminals claim that their admission letter is lost and apply for a replacement, thereby stealing someone else's admission qualification?"
Teacher Zhu: "The problem you mentioned is indeed possible."
“But it’s not unsolvable.”
"We can work together with the police station, the household registration department, and the No. 10 Steel Plant Affiliated Middle School, where Xu originally studied, to cross-verify the identity of the deceased and reissue the certificate after verification."
Director Ji thought about it and nodded. "Okay. If there is evidence from three parties confirming that this Xu Heye is the same Xu Heye, I can help issue a certificate of loss. Student Xu can use this certificate to complete the admission procedures."
Teacher Zhu smiled and said, "Old Ji, I knew you weren't such an unreasonable person!"
Director Ji chuckled and returned the certificate from the police station to Xu Heye. He said, "Student Xu, once you have all the necessary documents, you can come directly to the Education Bureau to see me. Remember to bring your ID card, household registration information, and admission ticket number."
"Okay, thank you Director Ji." Xu Heye bowed to Director Ji.
Teacher Zhu is very enthusiastic, but Director Ji’s consideration is also correct.
In this era where all documents are stored on handwritten paper, who can be sure that the person who comes to provide the supplementary certificate is the real person?
If it is not her, what will happen if the real owner of the notice goes to register happily with her admission notice, but finds that her admission qualification has been invalidated?
Although it is troublesome, Xu Heye knows that this is the right thing to do, as it will maximize the rights of all students.
The certificate from the police station was already in hand. In the next two days, Xu Heye went to the Affiliated Middle School of the No. 10 Steel Plant and the Household Registration Department several times and finally got her identity certificate.
After obtaining certificates issued by the three places, Xu Heye went to the District Education Bureau.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Lian Yushu asked.
"No need, I can go by myself. Thank you for your hard work these two days." Lian Yushu accompanied her to get those certificates and documents these two days.
Now that all the supporting documents are ready, she can go to the district education bureau alone.
"Okay then." Lian Yushu wanted to go with her, but Xu Heye wanted to go alone, so he wouldn't go.
Arriving at the District Education Bureau and finding Director Ji's office, Xu Heye took a deep breath and then raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Director Ji." Xu Heye called out as she entered the room. She walked to the desk, took out a file bag, and placed it on the table. "Director Ji, I have prepared all the supporting documents."
"Let me see." Director Ji took the file bag, poured out the documents, and read them carefully from beginning to end. Then he put down the documents in his hand, opened the drawer, and took out a document from it. It turned out to be a printed certificate of loss.
He writes the date and his name at the end and finally stamps the official seal to make it a legally effective certificate of loss.
He handed the lost certificate to Xu Heye and said seriously, "Little girl, please keep it well this time and don't lose it again."
Xu Heye took the document and read the last sentence: "This student has indeed been admitted to Jingye Middle School, and the admission letter has indeed been lost. The school should process the admission procedures based on this certificate. The previously issued admission letter is invalid and no longer has any legal effect."
Xu Heye breathed a sigh of relief. With this certificate, it didn't matter whether the lost admission letter could be found or not.
She carefully placed the certificate of loss in the plastic document bag she brought with her. The weather was too hot and her palms were sweating. She was worried that the sweat on her hands would make the certificate damp, and the text would become wet and blurred, affecting its effectiveness.
"Director Ji, thank you very much." Xu Heye bowed to Director Ji.
"You're welcome." Director Ji put the information Xu Heye had brought back into the file bag and put it in the drawer. "This is a small matter, don't take it to heart. Go back, study hard, and serve the country after you have learned enough."
"Yes." Xu Heye was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of the nameplate on the desk, which read - Ji Weimin, Director of the Admissions Office.
Ji Weimin, this name seemed a little familiar. Xu Heye thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so she put the matter behind her.
Coming out of the District Education Bureau, she looked up at the scorching sun, but she didn't feel the heat. It was as if a cool breeze had blown away all the heat in her heart.
When he returned to Zhangshu Lane, Lian Yushu saw her at once.
"Is it done?"
"It's done." Xu Heye handed the certificate of loss, which she was clutching tightly in her hand, to Lian Yushu. "Look, I can use this certificate of loss to complete the enrollment procedures when school starts in September."
Lian Yushu took the certificate, looked at it, and smiled: "It's good as long as it's done."
He returned the document to Xu Heye: "Pack it up. Don't lose it again this time."
"Yeah." Xu Heye hid the lost certificate at the bottom of the box, locked it, and then walked out of the house.
Lian Yushu looked at Xu Heye's sweaty head and handed her a glass of boiled water, "Drink some water."
"Thank you." Xu Heye was not polite. She had been busy applying for a lost certificate these days and had nothing at home.
After she finished drinking the water, Lian Yushu said, "There's still no progress at the police station."
"Liu Wen insisted that he simply placed the admission letter in the kitchen and then someone took it away. No one else in the Dong family admitted to having seen the admission letter."
After a pause, he said, "Your uncle and aunt may know something, but they refuse to say anything."
"If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Anyway, the acceptance letter has expired. It doesn't matter whether you have it or not."
