While Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen were talking about their future plans, in an office of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, two staff members from the Ministry of Personnel and the Education Commission were also informing Gao Lei of the results of the joint investigation team's investigation at the University of Technology and the Heavy Equipment Office.

"Professor Gao, after you talked about the problem of a certain cadre abusing power for personal gain at the meeting, the leadership attached great importance to it and instructed several of our units to form a joint investigation team to investigate this matter. According to our understanding, there is only one cadre of the Heavy Equipment Office whose fiancée is a graduate student at the University of Technology, named Feng Xiaochen, who is the former deputy director of the General Office of the Heavy Equipment Office, and is currently studying for a master's degree at the Institute of Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. His fiancée's name is Du Xiaodi, who was formerly a welder at Tongyuan Boiler Factory in Songjiang Province, with a junior high school education, and is currently a graduate student of Professor Cai Xingquan of the Department of Materials of the University of Technology. ”

A deputy director of the personnel department named Cen Jianwei said.

"Well, it could be him. Gao Lei replied with a casual look.

"In response to the clues you reported, we learned about the process of Professor Cai Xingquan undertaking the project of re-equipment, as well as the process of Comrade Du Xiaodi going to Professor Cai Xingquan's research group as an experimenter, and later being admitted to Professor Cai's graduate school. In the process of Professor Cai undertaking the project, the examination and approval work was carried out by Wu Shican, director of the Planning Division of the Heavy Equipment Office, and Comrade Feng Xiaochen participated in the process, but was not the main person in charge. We reviewed the record of the defence and found no irregularities. Professor Cai is a well-known welding expert in China, and it is more appropriate for him to undertake this welding process research project. ”

"Well, I don't think there's a problem with that. ”

On the question of hiring Comrade Du Xiaodi as an experimenter in the research group, Professor Cai said that this is a recommendation made by Comrade Feng Xiaochen to him, which is more consistent with the information you provided. However, Professor Cai also said that he and Comrade Du Xiaodi had known each other a few years ago, that is, when the Yuema River Bridge in Songjiang Province was repaired, Professor Cai was the technical consultant on the site, and Comrade Du Xiaodi was the emergency repair personnel sent by Tongyuan Boiler Factory. Professor Cai said that in that emergency repair work, Comrade Du Xiaodi's performance left a very deep impression on him, which is also the main reason why he is willing to accept Comrade Du Xiaodi into the work of the research group. ”

"Is there such a situation?" Gao Lei was stunned, this was information he didn't have, he thought about it and asked, "Is there any other circumstantial evidence about this?"

"Yes. Cen Jianwei said, "We checked with the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Railways checked the emergency repair records of that year and confirmed that Comrade Du Xiaodi participated in the emergency repair work. ”

"In other words, at least things can be right, as for whether Professor Cai met Comrade Xiao Du at that time, it is not necessarily?" Gao Lei commented meaningfully. In his opinion, there are a lot of people who participated in the repair of a bridge, and this Du Xiaodi was an apprentice back then, so what deep impression could he leave on a professor? It is estimated that this statement is just a pretext discussed by Feng Xiaochen and Cai Xingquan.

Who would have thought, Cen Jianwei smiled slightly and said, "This can be confirmed." Comrade Du Xiaodi was the main participant in the emergency repair, and the back-welding of the bridge fracture was all completed by Comrade Du Xiaodi, mainly because she was a lesbian, relatively thin and small, and was able to drill into the narrow bridge structure to operate. At the same time, her skills are among the best among welders on site. The Ministry of Railways asked several comrades who participated in the emergency repair by phone, and they all proved that Professor Cai had a very high opinion of Comrade Du Xiaodi at that time, and joked that he wanted to recognize Du Xiaodi as his goddaughter. ”

"Uh...... It turns out that there is such a good story, hehe, hehe. Gao Lei's face turned red all of a sudden, everyone has already reached the point of recognizing his daughter, and you still say that people don't necessarily know each other, isn't this nonsense? But as a big-sized brick family who claims to be a national teacher, it seems a bit inferior to slander others by making assumptions.

Cen Jianwei looked at Gao Lei pretending to be forced with a smile on his face. He deliberately split a sentence into two paragraphs just now, in order to slap Gao Lei in the face. Nima, when we went to investigate, Cai Xingquan was full of praise for Du Xiaodi, and other teachers in the research group also said that Du Xiaodi's skills are good, he is smart, and he respects teachers and unites classmates.

Also, you are moving your mouth, we are running the University of Technology, and we are contacting the Ministry of Railways, and asking the family to turn out the old files as proof, and now that the matter is clear, how can we get out of this evil breath without slapping you twice?

Thinking like this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it. Gao Lei is a person who can reach the heavens, and this is not something that he, a small deputy director, can afford to offend. He continued: "Regarding the process of Comrade Du Xiaodi's postgraduate examination, we also checked her examination papers and confirmed that her examination results were qualified, reached the admission score line, and there were no irregularities in the admission process. ”

"But, I heard that she only has a junior high school education?" asked Gao Lei.

"Yes, as I said earlier, she only had a junior high school education. Cen Jianwei said.

"Can you get a junior high school diploma to be admitted to graduate school? Is it so easy to take the exam paper of a technical university?"

"We have learned that Comrade Du Xiaodi has been using his spare time to make up homework during his work in the research group. Several teachers and some graduate students in the research group have given her make-up classes, and they have reported that although Comrade Du Xiaodi's original foundation is relatively poor, he has made rapid progress. ”

"No matter how fast the progress is, it only takes more than a year to meet the requirements for graduate admission, is this too much of a leap forward?"

"According to Professor Gao's opinion, do you think that there is fraud in the admission of graduate students at the University of Technology?" Lin Siyuan, deputy director from the Education Commission, asked with a little displeasure.

Gao Lei shook his head and said, "As for the University of Technology, there should be no problem. But when it comes to Professor Cai's side, it is not necessarily. Of course, I'm not saying that Professor Cai made any mistakes on this issue, but before the graduate exam, he pointed out the scope of the exam to his preferred candidates, which is allowed by default in many schools. If Professor Cai does this, it cannot be regarded as a particularly inappropriate act. ”

"You mean that Professor Cai revealed the scope of the exam to Du Xiaodi?" Lin Siyuan asked. Gao Lei's hint is actually obvious, but Lin Siyuan still needs to let him say it directly. If you want to report bad behavior, don't play with me for any hints, and when the time comes, we checked, and you say that you don't mean that at all, isn't this playing with us?

In Lin Siyuan's heart, he actually agreed with Gao Lei's judgment. Indeed, it is very common in the current graduate admissions to delineate the scope of candidates you like, and the university agrees with this. At this time, graduate enrollment is a bit like independent enrollment as later generations, as long as the tutor is satisfied with you, the score or something is just a floating cloud. In order to prepare for the exam, many tutors will disclose a little information to the student in advance, so that the student can do better in the exam, so that there are fewer obstacles when recruiting students.

Tutors recruit graduate students to work for themselves, and graduate students will inherit their mantle in the future, so the supervisor will not relax the requirements for the quality of graduate students, and will interview candidates in advance and select those students with potential to recruit them.

Of course, this method also creates conditions for the relationship to go through the back door, with the growth of the number of graduate tutors, there are more and more bedbugs in the tutor team, and it is unreasonable to maintain this independent enrollment method. Therefore, after the new century, the objectivity of graduate student enrollment has gradually improved, and the role of tutors in enrollment has become smaller and smaller.

Although everyone understands this truth, the fact that the tutor misses the question is only an unspoken rule after all, and it cannot be said publicly. If Gao Lei directly reported that Cai Xingquan missed questions from candidates in the graduate examination, and the results of the investigation can be confirmed, then once this point is written into the investigation report, it will be very fatal to Cai Xingquan and Du Xiaodi. Gao Lei himself is also a graduate tutor, belongs to the circle, and understands this unspoken rule. He came forward to report this kind of thing, which is equivalent to smashing the pot of his peers, which is shameful for people in the circle.

Lin Siyuan asked Gao Lei to make his intentions clear, that is, to confirm Gao Lei's reporting behavior, so that everyone would know that this guy could do such an angry thing.

Gao Lei is not stupid, how can he say it so clearly. He said: "My view is that the examination is only one part of the selection process, and it is possible to make mistakes in this link. For example, a candidate may not actually have much talent, but during the exam, he happened to encounter a topic he was familiar with, and he got a good score, so he was admitted. Director Lin must have seen a lot of this kind of thing when he works in the Education Commission, right?"

Lin Siyuan said: "Of course, there are such situations, there are many accidents in the exam, and no one can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the exam. ”

"That's right. Gao Lei said, "Therefore, it is neither possible nor necessary to investigate whether the examination process is compliant." If someone wants to cheat in the admissions process, they can do it seamlessly. ”

"Then according to Professor Gao, what should we do?" Lin Siyuan asked angrily. Gao Lei's words are unwarranted logic. I said that the exam papers are no problem, and you said that this is done by others seamlessly, what else can I do?

"Director Cen and Director Lin have worked this matter, and I have no opinion on your investigation work. However, I would like to make a small comment from the perspective of an educator. I think that since the graduate exams don't necessarily reflect the true level of the students, can we take some other proficiency tests after the students have entered? ”

With a gentle smile, Gao Lei made a request to Cen Jianwei and Lin Siyuan.
