My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 299: Lin Tang amazed him.
Chapter 299: Lin Tang amazed him.
"The fact is, we didn’t receive the admission letter!"
"And your school admitted a student with a completely different name!"
"A completely different name!"
"That girl only provided a name change certificate and you accepted her, didn’t anyone think to verify it?"
"You are the best school! If even you can make such mistakes, I dare not imagine what other schools would be like."
Lin Lu spoke very sternly.
Just the thought of Tangtang working hard for over a decade, only to end up making a wedding dress for someone else, made it impossible for him to quell his anger.
"Comrade Lin, please calm down," Chu Yue tried to pacify him.
Then he spoke in a kind and gentle manner:
"The admissions director from last year has been dismissed, and we will correct the other issues you mentioned, one by one."
"In the future, the vetting of admission and allocations, along with the procedures following any discoveries, are being improved..."
"Not only that, our school has reported this incident to the Ministry of Education.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, universities across the country will undergo a reform.
Going forward, events like these will not be completely eradicated but will at the very least not be left unchecked for certain individuals..."
He was polite and courteous from beginning to end.
Speaking earnestly and with sincerity, he truly came to apologize.
The remorse Chu Yue felt about the incident could be seen in his demeanor.
Lin Lu’s ’attack’ was losing ground against his logical and coherent explanations.
Arguing with a cultivated person like him, one could neither outreason nor outpresence him.
The Lin family fell silent for a moment.
Seeing the Lin family regaining their composure, Chu Yue smiled and continued:
"The school’s handling of the matter, though not identical to what Comrade Lin Tang requested, is about ninety percent the same."
Since it had come to this, he took out a thick envelope from his bag.
"Here is eight hundred yuan, a compensation from the school; I hope you will accept it."
"The amount is rather small, but it represents the greatest extent of the school’s sincerity."
It sounded disheartening, but that was the harsh reality.
If it hadn’t been for Lin Tang blowing the issue up, this injustice might have been buried!
That’s why he said it was a pity.
Such an intelligent and capable student!
When the Lin family heard the compensation was eight hundred yuan, their minds went blank for an instant.
Eight hundred yuan...
For anyone who didn’t even have two hundred in savings,
being suddenly hit with eight hundred would be quite bewildering.
Zhou Mei stared at the stack of money, her expression twisted for a moment.
That was money!
All of it was money!!!
Eight hundred yuan, how many nice things would one have to buy to spend it all?
Never mind the money-obsessed Zhou Mei; even Lin Lu and Li Xiuli, who were normally sensible, felt dazzled.
The shock was simply too great!
Lin Lu quickly recovered and then earnestly asked:
"Can we forgo the compensation and just have another admission letter for my daughter?"
Chu Yue shook his head helplessly.
That was something he truly couldn’t do.
"Huaqing University welcomes Lin Tang to reapply next year. With Lin Tang’s smarts, getting admitted again shouldn’t be difficult."
The school has its regulations and systems.
After nearly a year away from studying, even if admitted, it might be difficult to keep up.
Lin Lu was utterly disappointed, and his head drooped.
Li Xiuli patted her husband’s shoulder, consoling him, "It’s all fate! Don’t dwell on it anymore, as long as Tangtang is doing just fine."
Lin Tang, who had overheard the entire conversation from around the corner, now realized her parents were still thinking about her going back to school.
The family had never mentioned it, and she thought the matter had been put to rest.
These days, going to school was not necessarily a good choice.
Besides wasting time, there seemed to be no benefits.
Even obtaining a diploma was not guaranteed.
With that in mind, Lin Tang stepped out.
She first nodded at Chu Yue.
Then, turning to her parents, she said:
"Dad, Mom, I’m doing well at the Broadcasting Station. If I go to school, what about my job?"
She could not tell the whole truth, so she stuck to the key points.
Sure enough, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli took it to heart.
The couple exchanged a look.
That made sense too...
They had been fixated on their daughter returning to university, yet they had overlooked the most pressing issues at hand.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Lu exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"...Tangtang is right."
The job indeed couldn’t be lost!
Li Xiuli was eager for her husband to come to terms with this sooner, to alleviate the constant burden in his heart.
She quickly said, "As long as you understand. What’s more important than a job, whether you attend university or not?"
"A good job is a lifelong matter, and to top it all, working at the Textile Factory is prestigious!
You’ve seen the benefits provided by the factory; would you really want Tangtang to give up such a job?"
If their daughter really went off to school, the job would definitely not stay within the family.
For one, no one else was capable of doing it, and secondly, all the younger family members already had their commitments.
Li Xiuli was conservative and traditional in her thoughts.
With no broad vision, she felt that Tangtang’s current life was quite satisfactory.
She didn’t have to toil, could sit in an office, write some things, and get a salary.
Monthly benefits came in various forms; who could say this wasn’t a good life?
Their couple’s conversation was also heard by Chu Yue.
He naturally had a different perspective.
Continuous learning was very important. freēnovelkiss.com
And attending university was of course even more so.
Yet,
Chu Yue, who taught at the very school responsible for Lin Tang not being able to attend university, felt he didn’t have the right to comment. He just moved his mouth awkwardly and said nothing.
Seeing her parents no longer fixated on her attending university, Lin Tang looked towards Chu Yue.
"I don’t know how to address you, teacher. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here."
The fact that Huaqing University had sent someone was completely unexpected to her.
Chu Yue looked at Lin Tang.
He saw a young girl with clear, bright eyes and a confident, radiant demeanor.
It was as if the theft of the admission letter hadn’t affected her in the least.
Her composure seemed beyond what one would expect from a minor.
Without exaggeration, Lin Tang impressed him.
Such a girl was a rarity even at Huaqing University.
The regret in Chu Yue’s heart became more palpable.
Though he thought this, it did not show on his face.
He said, "My name is Chu Yue, I am a professor in the Department of Medical Sciences at Huaqing University. I am here on behalf of the school to address the issue of your admission spot being taken by someone else."
"I am sorry for this, and I regret the school’s mistake."
"The school will issue a public apology in the newspaper, and the requests you’ve made will be met one by one."
Chu Yue gestured towards the money in the bag, "This money is a compensation from the school, although it’s a bit less..."
"Please accept it, don’t let it hinder the actual compensation."
Having no money was definitely a problem, something Lin Tang had known for a long time.
Of course, she would not refuse.
"Alright, I’ll accept it, thank you!"
Having said that, Lin Tang changed the subject, "Do I need to cooperate with anything else?"
Since the school had shown such a forthright attitude, she was naturally willing to reciprocate.
