I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1091: 3 Days

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ruixuan put her phone away and thought about it for a while.

Then she picked up her phone and made a call.

The call was answered quickly: "Uncle Gao, where's my maternal uncle?"

Gao Song smiled and said, "Oh, it's Xuanxuan. Your uncle is talking to someone, and his phone is with me. If you have something urgent, I'll go tell him now."

"No, no, I'll call him again when he's done with his work!"

Tang Ruixuan knew that her uncle would definitely call her again later, so she wasn't in a hurry.

Tang Ruixuan walked slowly on campus, thinking about her good friend Gu Suining as she walked.

She knew Gu Suining's personality all too well; she was the kind of person who would swallow her grievances and keep them to herself, and she probably wouldn't even tell her parents about this.

However, this also shows that Gu Suining considers her a true friend. The more Gu Suining does this, the more she wants to help her friend. She just doesn't believe it.

Soon, her uncle called. After Tang Ruixuan answered the phone, her uncle Huang Xiaochuan's voice came from the other end: "Xuanxuan, is there something you need?"

"Uncle, I need your help with something."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan assumed something had happened to his niece: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing that her uncle had misunderstood, Tang Ruixuan quickly explained, "It wasn't me. A good friend of mine ran into some trouble, and I'd like you to speak to Uncle Chen and ask him to handle it impartially."

"Tell me first." Huang Xiaochuan was relieved to hear that it wasn't his niece who had something to say.

"My good friend is named Gu Suining. She was my high school classmate and is currently a senior majoring in economics at the University of Finance and Economics. She originally ranked third in her major and was eligible for a guaranteed postgraduate admission, but she was squeezed out by someone who switched majors. She has always wanted to be Uncle Chen's student, but now that she has lost her guaranteed postgraduate admission, she can only take the postgraduate entrance examination, but that makes the uncertainty too great."

Huang Xiaochuan was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "So what are your thoughts?"

"Uncle, I just feel this is unfair. Not only did he change his major in his senior year, but he also immediately got a spot in graduate school. It's obvious someone rigged it. I came to you because I wanted to ask you to talk to Uncle Chen about this. If it's inconvenient for you to ask, I'll go talk to my second uncle. Anyway, Uncle Chen is his brother-in-law, and they see each other often."

"You little rascal!" Huang Xiaochuan was amused and exasperated. This girl was really something, even using reverse psychology on him. "From childhood to adulthood, when have I ever not cared about your affairs? I'll inquire about this for you, but we have to follow the rules, if the other party has genuine skills."

Tang Ruixuan immediately chimed in, "I know, Uncle. I just want fairness for my friend. If Wang Nian really got that postgraduate recommendation spot through her own merit, then my friend will accept it. Anyway, she's prepared to take the postgraduate entrance exam. But if not..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.

Huang Xiaochuan readily agreed: "Okay, I'll ask around for you in a bit. Wait for my call!"

Huang Xiaochuan genuinely liked this niece, so he would definitely take her request seriously, even though he was very busy.

He immediately dialed Chen Zhe's number.

"Old Chen, it's me."

Chen Zhe asked in surprise, "Xiao Chuan, what brings you to call me?"

"Look at yourself honestly, haven't I called you enough times?"

"Hahaha!" Chen Zhe laughed.

Huang Xiaochuan rudely interrupted Chen Zhe's laughter: "Alright, I have something important to discuss with you. Who decided on this year's list of students recommended for postgraduate studies in your college? Was it you?"

"I don't have time to ask about these things. You know I have a ton of things to do. The administrative matters are handled by Vice Dean Shen and his team. I never get involved."

But Chen Zhe immediately noticed the problem: "Why are you suddenly asking about this? What, is someone trying to get a place in graduate school?"

Huang Xiaochuan then told Chen Zhe what Tang Ruixuan had told him. Finally, he said to Chen Zhe, "You know, I've supervised graduate students before, and I'm familiar with the things involved in the graduate school recommendation process. How could a senior student majoring in business administration be able to transfer to your college and get a graduate school recommendation right away? I don't believe there's nothing fishy going on here."

Chen Zhe was silent for a moment, but he quickly promised Huang Xiaochuan, "Xiaochuan, I know about this. I'll look into it right away and call you when I have the results."

"Okay, as soon as possible! My niece is waiting for my reply."

"Okay, you two, uncle and nephew," Chen Zhe shook his head and hung up the phone.

He then called his secretary and asked him to bring him the application materials for postgraduate recommendation.

After reviewing it, sure enough, a student who originally transferred from the Business Administration major got the postgraduate recommendation spot that should have belonged to a student named Gu Suining, based on two papers and a national award.

He then went online to check out the paper published by the student named Wang Nian.

When it comes to matters in academia, Chen Zhe is an expert. It's utterly absurd that a student who originally studied business administration could publish two papers on economics in a journal.

He then dialed the phone number of Shen Jianming, the vice dean of the college.

"Old Shen, I just looked at the application materials for graduate school recommendation, and there's someone named Wang Nian in them. Do you know her?"

Shen Jianming's heart skipped a beat. He wondered why Chen Zhe was suddenly concerned about this matter. Wasn't he always someone who didn't interfere in administrative affairs?

But Chen Zhe had asked, and as the vice president in charge of administration, he certainly couldn't say he didn't know.

"Yes, yes! Dean Chen, I didn't know you..."

Seeing that the other party knew about this, Chen Zhe continued, "Old Shen, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

"Dean, please tell me if there are any problems." Shen Jianming adopted a very humble attitude, knowing how influential his dean was in the country.

"I just looked at Wang Nian's papers online. Putting aside the fact that both journals are just ordinary publications, what kind of garbage is that? This national award is too frivolous! They can win an award based on just these two pieces of utter nonsense?"

Shen Jianming quickly protested, "Dean, these have all been reviewed."

"Approval? Who approved it?" Although Chen Zhe's voice was calm, the oppressive feeling in it made Shen Jianming sweat.

Shen Jianming immediately realized what was going on: "Dean, there might be something we overlooked. Let's check it again."

"Verification is necessary. We've worked together for many years, Lao Shen. I won't make things difficult for you. If this student is indeed outstanding, I have nothing to say, but if not..."

Although Chen Zhe didn't finish his sentence, the meaning behind it was already very clear.

Shen Jianming gritted his teeth: "Dean, give me three days, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
