Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan's heart stirred slightly. He raised his head and asked, "What's the reason?"

Gao Ming's clear voice carried over, "I've been looking through these old files, not just from the Yangzhi Wuyi Branch, but also from other Wuyi Branches in the prefecture. I've looked at the information that can be disclosed about the recommended students who go to the Central City each year.

The information you gave, cousin, is correct. Most of the recommended students only get a Grade C Defense Certificate when the recommendation is reviewed, without exception.

I also checked the other students who were recommended by the academy but were eliminated. It took some effort to find out that, in the past few decades, besides these recommended students, there were indeed commoner students in the same period who obtained Grade B certificates. However, they still couldn't compete with the recommended students. In the end, either they withdrew themselves, or their applications weren't approved.

There's no need to talk about those who withdrew voluntarily, but the fact that the applications weren't approved shows that the criteria for judgment are definitely not that simple."

Here, he paused, seemingly waiting for Chen Chuan to digest the information.

Chen Chuan's mind raced, and he said, "Continue."

"So, I specifically checked again and found a noteworthy point. There is actually a significant difference between the two, and that is the evaluation from the government affairs departments.

The evaluations from the government affairs departments for those commoner students who were recommended but eliminated almost all came from the Management Bureau. It's different for the recommended students. They also have evaluations from other departments, sometimes more than one, even two.

Cousin, what do you think of this?"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, "It seems that the weight of recommendations from the government affairs departments is also very high in the review criteria."

"That's right, exactly. Because the recommended students have influence, they can get evaluations from other government affairs departments. Whether it's an exchange of benefits or help from others, the fact is that they have indeed made verifiable requests and benefited the government affairs departments as a result.

The evaluations given by the Management Bureau, at most, only talk about discipline, obedience, or even grades, and almost all come from within, so there's not much advantage in comparison."

Looking at it this way, if a student from a commoner background gets a Grade B certificate in their third year, then the difference in strength between the two sides is actually not that great, even quite close. If I were a reviewer, I wouldn't think there's much difference between the two. Even if there is, it wouldn't be difficult to close the gap.

Considering the weight of one or two government affairs department recommendations, and assuming that the recommended students still have some influence to affect the reviewers above, then there's almost no need to consider it further. Such a result is inevitable."

At this point, his voice lowered slightly, accompanied by the sound of turning pages. Chen Chuan could tell that he was roughly looking through something, and then his voice became a little louder than before:

"Cousin, I also found an old file when I was looking through these things. You'll definitely be interested. It's a record from the 78th year of Jianzhi, which is fifteen years ago. A student from a commoner background in the Dongliang City branch obtained the qualification to be recommended to the Central City."

When Chen Chuan heard this, his eyes also moved slightly. He listened as Gao Ming continued, "I spent some effort to find the records from that year. From this, it seems that his evaluation from the government affairs department also came from the Management Bureau, and it seemed no different from those who were rejected. The only difference… is that he got a Grade B Defense Certificate in his first year!"

His voice rose again, mixed with a hint of excitement as he searched for direction.

"Does that mean that getting a Grade 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 and replicate it?"

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Regarding this student, can you find out more?"

Although there is such an example, and on the surface, this person also came from a commoner background, it's hard to say whether there is any other background behind it. Moreover, it seems that this is just an isolated case, and we can't draw a direct conclusion from it.

Gao Ming said, "Cousin, my next step is to investigate this, but it will take time, because if this person went to the Central City, many things may be difficult to find out. I will notify you in time when I have results."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Gao Ming."

"It's nothing. Since I took on the task, this is what I must do. But cousin, from these examples, departmental evaluations are very important. If you can get more departmental evaluations, you will have confidence. If you add a Grade B certificate to that, then you will outwardly overwhelm those recommended students."

Chen Chuan said, "The principle is correct, but it will be very difficult to obtain evaluations from other departments."

Not to mention the police department sticking together, which of those government departments isn't like that? Without sufficient benefits, they wouldn't easily open opportunities to outsiders.

If he hadn't been considered a disciple of the police department due to his background, someone else who solved the Fang Dawei gang wouldn't even think about getting a recommendation.

Gao Ming said, "It's very difficult, but not entirely impossible. Each department is actually controlled by the person in charge, so as long as the person in charge gives the nod, it's still possible to do it."

He suddenly smiled, "The Mi \u0026 Co. firm I work for is a large firm. I have many litigation files and clues… Hmm, cousin, you can handle strange tales, right?"

Chen Chuan said, "That depends on the specifics." Regarding strange tales, others might call him an expert, but he doesn't think so, mainly because of the help from his teacher, Cheng Zitong.

Gao Ming said, "I have a case file that might help us. The specific content is quite extensive and can't be explained over the phone. I'll send the information to you later, cousin. Take a look first."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you, Gao Ming."

"It's no trouble, cousin. The previous work was just routine and not very challenging. This kind of challenge is exactly what I want." After saying that, Gao Ming hung up the phone.

Chen Chuan put down the phone and began to ponder. Assuming Gao Ming's judgment is correct, then he might need to pass the Level B certification in the first year.

Leaving aside the question of whether he can do it, if he succeeds, he will inevitably face external pressure. Like Shen Zheng, he encountered misfortune almost immediately after obtaining the Unlimited Defense Certificate.

So even if he decides to do it, he must think in advance about how to face external pressure. At least Shen Zheng was facing it in his third year, and his strength and self-protection ability were completely different from what they were in his first year.

But if things really are this way, 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 to see what suggestions the latter has.

Meanwhile, in the Quanzhou District of the South City, in a villa in a wealthy area, a tall young man was leaning back, his hands forming a circle, maintaining a strange stance.

About half an hour later, he returned to a normal standing posture, letting the sweat on his body flow to the ground.

Immediately, a butler came over, respectfully handed him a towel, and said, "Young Master, the hot water is ready."

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

The young man asked, "Has there been a reply from Teacher Tan?"

The butler said, "Mr. Tan said he still has some things to deal with, and I'm afraid he will be back a little later."

The young man clicked his tongue, his face full of dissatisfaction.

He knew that Tan Wang had been beaten up in front of many teachers at the academy and lost face, so he hurriedly left the school. Not long ago, he said he was going back to the central city to deal with things. He estimated that he should be going back to maintain and repair his implant, or find a way to improve it.

However, he had paid money. If he gave money, he should teach him well, instead of doing other things, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so much face. Even if he didn't consider these things, what's the point of running back and leaving himself here?

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had used connections through his family and spent a lot of money to hire him, and he had also learned the other party's secret techniques, he wouldn't be able to stop halfway. He would have wanted to change people.

At this moment, the phone rang behind him. The butler went up to answer the phone and said in a low voice, "Young Master, a call from them."

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 have heard today's news. If you haven't heard it, it doesn't matter. Later, two clerks from the Water Affairs Bureau will disappear while investigating a factory's water pollution.

What Young Master Wei needs to do next is to accept the Water Affairs Bureau's commission, find a way to find the bodies of the two people, and find the prepared pollution evidence. It is best for you to come forward in person during this process, because someone above will definitely come to verify. After the factory is dealt with, the Water Affairs Bureau will give you a recommendation afterward."

Wei Jun asked, "Is that factory yours?"

"Of course not. That factory was originally there, but no one has ever touched it. But who told Young Master Wei to offer a high price? The money you gave is enough to open three more factories. I think everyone will know how to choose. Wouldn't it be good to open it again after the above has dealt with it?

However, everyone in the factory is unaware. They will definitely try to protect themselves. Young Master Wei, you have to deal with it beautifully. One more thing, that factory also has a relatively capable security team."

Wei Jun said, "Is that so? It just so happens that I haven't been in a good mood lately."

"Then I wish Young Master Wei a happy hunt. By the way, don't forget the final payment after the matter is over." After speaking, the phone was hung up with a click.

Wei Jun seemed dissatisfied that she hung up the phone first, snorted, and then said with a hint of excitement: "Lao Feng, get my weapons, protective clothing, and vehicles ready for me!"
