NOVPUBChen Chuan's heart stirred, he raised his head slightly, and asked, "What's the reason?"
Gao Ming's voice came through clearly, "From the old files I've been reviewing, there's not only the Yang Zhi Wuyi Branch, but also other Wuyi Branches from the prefecture. I've looked at the publicly available information about the recommended students who go to Central City each year.
Cousin, the information you provided is correct. Most of the recommended students only get a Class C Defense Permit during the recommendation review, without exception.
I also investigated the other students who were recommended by the Academy but were eliminated. It took some effort to find out that, in the past ten years, besides these recommended students, there were some commoner students in the same period who obtained Level B Certificates, but they still couldn't compete with the recommended students. In the end, either they withdrew themselves, or the review from above didn't pass.
It goes without saying for those who voluntarily withdrew, but if the review doesn't pass, it means the evaluation criteria aren't that simple."
At this point, he paused, seemingly waiting for Chen Chuan to digest the information.
Chen Chuan's thoughts turned over, and he said, "Continue."
"So I specifically investigated and found something noteworthy: there's a significant difference between the two, which is the Evaluation from the Government Agency.
The Government Agency Evaluations for those commoner students who were recommended but eliminated almost all came from the Processing Bureau. The recommended students are different; they also have Evaluations from other departments, sometimes more than one, even two.
Cousin, what do you think about this?"
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, "It seems the weight of the Government Agency recommendation is also very high in the evaluation criteria."
"Exactly. Because the recommended students have influence, they can get Evaluations from other Government Agencies. Whether it's an exchange of benefits or help from others, the fact is they did verifiable Commissions, and the Government Agency benefited from it.
The Evaluation from the Processing Bureau, however, mostly talks about discipline, obedience, and even grades, and it's almost entirely internal, so it has no advantage in comparison."
Chen Chuan also nodded. Cheng Zitong had told him not to get an Evaluation from the Processing Bureau, because its value was too low. It seemed the higher-ups felt the same way.
Gao Ming continued, "Besides that, I found another noteworthy point: although those recommended students only get Level C Certificates, many of them take the Level B Certificate exam again in their first year after graduation. A rough estimate shows this accounts for over 70%.
Judging from the information you provided, Cousin, Level B Certificates must have some risk, which is why these recommended students didn't risk taking the exam at the beginning. But this risk should also have its Limit. The data shows that after these recommended students graduate, they have enough ability to handle it.
Comparing horizontally, if a student from a common background gets a Level B Certificate in their third year, then the difference in Strength between the two isn't that great, or even quite close. If I were a reviewer, I wouldn't think there was much difference between the two. Even if there was, it wouldn't be difficult to catch up.
Considering the weight of one or two Government Agency recommendations, and assuming the recommended students have a bit of influence to sway the reviewers above, then the result is almost certain."
At this point, his voice lowered slightly, accompanied by the sound of pages turning. Chen Chuan could tell he was probably looking down to flip through something. Then his voice became a little louder than before:
"Cousin, I found an old file while reviewing these things that I think you'll be interested in. It's a record from Jianzhi 78, which is fifteen years ago. A student from a common background in the Dongliang City branch got the qualification to be recommended to Central City."
Chen Chuan's eyes also flickered slightly when he heard this. Gao Ming continued, "I spent some effort to find the records from that year. Judging from this, his Government Agency Evaluation also came from the Processing Bureau, and he seemed no different from those who were rejected in the review. The only difference... is that he got a B-Class Defense Permit in his first year!"
His voice rose again, mixed with a hint of excitement from finding a direction.
"Does that mean getting a Level B Certificate in the first year is viewed completely differently by the reviewers than getting it in the third year? I can't say for sure, but with such an example, can we refer to it and replicate it?"
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, and he said, "Can you find out more about this student?"
Although there is such an example, and on the surface, this person also came from a common background, it's hard to say if he had other connections behind the scenes. Moreover, it seems to be just an isolated case, so we can't draw a direct conclusion from this.
Gao Ming said, "Cousin, that's what I'm going to investigate next, but it will take time. Because if this person went to Central City, many things might be difficult to find. I'll let you know as soon as I have results."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Gao Ming."
"It's nothing. Since I've taken on the job, this is what I have to do. But Cousin, judging from these examples, department Evaluation is very important. If you can get more department Evaluations, you'll have confidence. If you add a Level B Certificate to that, you'll overwhelm those recommended students on paper."
Chen Chuan said, "That's true, but it will be very difficult to get Evaluations from other departments."
Not to mention the Patrol Bureau sticking together, which Government Agency isn't like that? Without sufficient benefits, it's impossible to easily give outsiders an opening.
If he weren't considered a Patrol Bureau disciple because of his background, someone else who solved the Fang Dawei gang wouldn't even think about getting a recommendation Evaluation.
Gao Ming said, "It is difficult, but not entirely impossible. In fact, each department is controlled by the person in charge, so as long as the head gives the go-ahead, it's still possible to do it."
He suddenly smiled, "Mi's Law Firm, where I work, is a large law firm. I have many litigation files and clues... Hmm, Cousin, you can handle Supernatural Entity-type matters, right?"
Chen Chuan said, "That depends on what it is specifically." Others may say he's an expert on Supernatural Entities, but he doesn't think so. It's mainly due to the help of his teacher, Cheng Zitong.
Gao Ming said, "I have a case file that might be able to help us. The specific content is quite extensive and can't be explained clearly over the phone. I'll send the Data to you later, Cousin. Take a look first."
Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you, Gao Ming."
"It's no trouble, Cousin. The previous tasks were just routine and not challenging. This kind of challenge is exactly what I want." After saying that, Gao Ming hung up.
Chen Chuan put down the telephone receiver and pondered. If Gao Ming's judgment is correct, then he might need to get a Level B Certificate in his first year.
Putting aside whether he can do it or not, if he succeeds, he's bound to face external pressure. Just like Shen Zheng, who encountered misfortune almost immediately after getting the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit.
So even if he decides to do it, he needs to think about how to face external pressure in advance. At least Shen Zheng faced it in his third year. His martial strength and self-protection abilities were completely different from what they were in his first year.
But if that's really the case, and it comes to a point where he has to fight, he won't back down because of it. But even if he decides to do it, he needs to communicate with Cheng Zitong again and see what suggestions the latter has.
Meanwhile, in a villa in a wealthy area of Quanzhou District, south of the city, a tall young man was leaning back, with his hands in a circular shape, maintaining a strange stance.
About half an hour later, he returned to a normal standing position, letting the sweat on his body flow to the ground.
A butler immediately came over, respectfully handing him a towel, and said, "Young master, hot water has been prepared."
The young man asked, "Has there been a reply from Teacher Tan?"
The butler said, "Mr. Tan said he still has some matters to deal with and will probably be back a little later."
The young man clicked his tongue, his face full of dissatisfaction.
He knew that Tan Wang had been beaten in front of many teachers at the Academy and embarrassed himself, so he hurriedly left the school. Not long ago, he said he was going back to Central City to deal with director's affairs. He guessed he was going back to maintain and repair his Implant, or to find a way to improve it.
But he had paid money. If he paid, he should teach him properly instead of doing other things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed. Even without considering that, what's the point of running back and leaving him here?
If it weren't for the fact that his family had used connections to hire him at a great price, and he had learned his secret Skills, which he couldn't stop halfway, he would have wanted to change people.
At this moment, the telephone rang behind him. The butler went to answer the phone and said in a low voice, "Young master, a call from there."
The young man walked over and said, "Hello, this is Wei Jun."
A slightly nasal female voice came from inside: "Young Master Wei, we have taken care of the matter. I don't know if you've heard today's news. If you haven't, it doesn't matter. Two water bureau clerks will be missing while investigating a factory's water source pollution.
What Young Master Wei needs to do next is to take on the water bureau's Commission, find a way to find the bodies of the two people, and find the prepared pollution evidence. It's best if you come forward personally during this process, because someone from above will definitely come to verify. After the factory is dealt with, the water bureau will give you a recommendation Evaluation afterwards."
Wei Jun asked, "Is that factory yours?"
"Of course not. That factory was already there, but no one had ever touched it. But who told you, Young Master Wei, to offer such a high price? The money you gave is enough to open three more factories. I think everyone knows how to choose. It's fine to reopen it after the higher-ups are done with it.
However, everyone in the factory is unaware. They will definitely try to protect themselves. Young Master Wei, you must handle it beautifully. One more thing, that factory also has a relatively capable Security guard team."
Wei Jun said, "Is that so? I'm not in a good mood lately anyway."
"Then I wish Young Master Wei a pleasant hunt. By the way, don't forget the final payment after the matter is over." After saying that, the phone was hung up with a click.
Wei Jun seemed dissatisfied that she hung up first, snorted, and then said with a hint of excitement, "Old Feng, prepare my weapons, protective gear, and vehicles!"
