Chapter 22 List
After Chen Chuan made the call, he went all the way back home. When he arrived at the front yard, he heard the noise of his cousins. After entering the living room, he saw a small ball bouncing towards him. He just hooked his instep, kicked it twice, and stretched his foot. The ball stopped steadily on the instep of his instep, and he did not shake at all.
"Wow!" My little cousin Nian Lu exclaimed and clapped her hands hard.
Cousin Nian Mo also raised his hands high, "Great, one more! One more!"
Chen Chuan kicked forward and the ball rolled towards the two little guys.
Yu Wan was sitting on a chair knitting a sweater. She knew Chen Chuan would be going to Wuyi University tomorrow, so she had been waiting here early today. She smiled and said, "Chan'er, you're back?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, auntie, I'll sign up tomorrow and come back early today."
Yu Wan stood up and saw that the coat in his hand was covered in dust. She said, "You kid, you've been rolling around in the dust. Give it to me quickly. I'll go out and clean it up. It's a nice piece of clothing. Don't ruin it."
She grabbed the clothes, muttered a few words, and then took the clothes out to beat them.
At this moment, Chen Chuan felt the wind behind him, as if there were eyes on the back of his head. He tilted his head and let a thrown ball pass.
"Wow! Bro is awesome!"
"Throw it back, throw it back!"
Chen Chuan gave the ball back and played with the two little guys for a while. Yu Wan came back, put the cleaned clothes in his hands, and said, "Take it."
Chen Chuan took the clothes and walked towards the room. Yu Wan followed him. He knew that she must have something to say to him. When they reached the door of the room, Yu Wan asked with concern, "Chan'er, do you have enough money on you?"
Chen Chuan said: "Aunt, you gave me a lot last time, I still have some."
Yu Wan said, "If it's not enough, ask my aunt for more. We can't skimp on studying."
Chen Chuan nodded.
Yu Wan added, "Your uncle told you to move out in two months. Now that you've found a place to stay, I think you shouldn't rush to move. Wait until you're settled in the school dormitory. If you don't want to live here when school starts, then come back. How can we afford to feed you?"
Chen Chuan said, "Aunt, is this what Uncle meant?"
Yu Wan said, "Why, as your aunt, I can't make the decision? If you can learn skills in school, that's better than anything else."
Chen Chuan wasn't being pretentious. He could move anytime he wanted anyway, so he said, "Okay, Auntie, that's it for now."
Yu Wan was very happy to see that he listened to her. Ever since her second sister and brother-in-law passed away, she treated Chen Chuan as her own son. She was a little reluctant to let him move out.
After Yi Wan left, Chen Chuan returned to the room. He closed the door, hung clothes on the hook, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the remaining money and counted it.
Yu Wan originally gave him a total of 600 Jianyuan coins. He used 100 of them when he registered. Before that, he spent 300 of them in two months because of food, training, equipment losses, and some other expenses at the boxing house. That means he spent an average of 150 per month.
From next month until the re-examination, it is obvious that he still needs Yu Gang's guidance. Even if we don't count more, it should be about this much.
After Wuyi University officially opens, food and accommodation will be free for internal students. If you can pass the re-examination, most of the tuition fees will be waived. But think about it, it is impossible to not spend money, and it may cost more, so you have to try your best to get the school scholarship.
At the same time, inside Wuyi University.
Bian Feng, the lecturer who admitted Chen Chuan, and Yue Hong, another teacher who was mainly responsible for the recruitment, were walking together in the corridor of the school building.
Yue Hong clapped the list in his hand and said, "After ten years of expanding enrollment, the number of students applying has increased every year. This year, we've enrolled even more students. Yangzhi City, combined with the six surrounding counties, has reached an unprecedented 2,000 students. It seems the higher-ups have stepped up their efforts."
Bian Feng said in a deep voice, "How many? Yangzhi City has a population of over six million. Add in the surrounding counties and towns, and even without counting the mountainous areas, there are over ten million people. Yet, only this many students enroll each year, and this is the result of ten years of enrollment expansion."
Yue Hong smiled and said, "Be content. Back then, who among us didn't have teachers teaching us step by step before we even started school? Who didn't practice from a young age? Many students nowadays can get into a boxing club or training hall for a year or two, or even just half a year, and then have the chance to enroll. Their chances are so much greater than we had back then."
Bian Feng shook his head and said, "These students can only be admitted. It would be good if one in ten can pass the re-examination."
Yue Hong nodded and said yes. Although both of them are said to be students of Wuhan University, passing the re-examination and failing the re-examination are completely different. The former are the talents that the university will really spend effort to cultivate, while the latter can only be regarded as a bonus.
After ten years of expansion, there has not been much real change within Wuhan University. The overall number of elite students each year does not fluctuate much. The reason is very simple: there are always so many resources, and they can only be allocated to those who are worthy of training to a limited extent.
In fact, the bigger reason is that most of the resources are taken away by powerful students, and the remaining ones are distributed to ordinary students. Although the top management of the headquarters has realized this problem in recent years and is trying its best to make adjustments, the results are limited.
He said with emotion: "How could anyone be willing to spit out the meat that has already been eaten?"
As the two were talking, they came to the office of the school's admissions director. As they approached, they heard a strong voice coming from inside:
"I wonder what's the point of the scholarships we're setting up now? Every year, those who receive the scholarships are pushed by powerful students, and after graduation, they all go to work for the powerful. We originally wanted to give opportunities to ordinary students, but in the end, they've been usurped. So what's the point of expanding enrollment?"
After all this time, the strong have only gotten stronger, and the weak have only gotten weaker. It's worse than it was ten years ago. I think it can be completely cut down. Even if not, it can be reduced!"
Bian Feng and Yue Hong both had very sensitive ears. Even though there was a wall between them and they were in the quiet corridor, they could still clearly hear the voice coming from the microphone on the other side:
"We still have to give people some hope. Ordinary students can't compare to powerful students, but there will always be top students. Even if there are only one or two, that's good. Our approach is effective. If the scholarship is canceled, there will be no hope at all."
"You are the school director, so you have the final say in this matter. But if this class is still the same as before, you should find someone else to handle this matter next time."
With a click, the microphone was lowered, and then the voice said, "What are you two doing waiting outside? Are you trying to make fun of me? Come in."
Bian Feng and Yue Hong hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in. Sitting in the office was a middle-aged man in his fifties with thick hair. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a sturdy build, and a serious face. He was wearing a dark black imported formal suit with his cuffs and collar buttoned meticulously. He looked like a very serious person.
He sat there, taking up almost half the room. His feet were planted on the floor behind his desk like pillars, and the chair he was sitting on was almost invisible. Bian Feng and Yue Hong both bowed slightly and said, "Master Gao."
Teacher Gao said, "Has the list of students responsible for the assessment been drawn up?"
Yue Hong said, "It's already been prepared. I brought it here." Then he handed the list over and said, "Please review it, Master Gao."
Teacher Gao waved his hand and said, "Don't show it to me. Submit it to the school board. At least half of it will be deleted. The commission will definitely squeeze in the students they like."
Bian Feng raised his head and said, "Then there are at least half of the people left."
"Is it useful?"
Teacher Gao shook his head and said, "There are so many people this year. That's because of the pressure from above. But the greater the pressure, the greater the backlash. I already have a lot of troubles, and now this is happening. What's the point of all this trouble... Forget it." Halfway through his words, he seemed to change his mind. He took the list from Yue Hong and frowned, saying, "Let's take a look. Let's do our part, even if it doesn't help much."
