Li Jiang is 35 years old this year. He is a little fat and has white skin that looks like a leading cadre.

However, his true identity is an outsourcing investigator at Tsinghua University.

College students are all prides of heaven, talented people selected from millions of candidates, and pillars of the country's future construction. College students in their early years not only did not have to pay tuition fees, but the country will also provide a certain amount of cash subsidy every month.

The college entrance examination has been recovering for several years, and the number of college students is increasing rapidly, and subsidies are gone, and a small amount of tuition will be charged. However, the country's desire for college students has not changed.

The tuition fee of several hundred yuan per year and the book fee is not too much, but there are also many remote rural students and families who are unable to afford it. After getting admitted to the university, they can only say goodbye to the university campus and start working early to share some pressure for their families.

Li Jiang’s job is to go to these schools to confirm admission, but students who are in difficulty in life go to the homes of students who are in trouble to investigate and understand, do the persuasion work of students’ parents, and appropriately express the school’s concerns, and report some outstanding students in difficulty back to school. The school will take out a portion of the country’s specific annual funding to reduce students’ various school expenses.

It was August and the weather was so hot. As soon as Li Jiang returned to school from Inner Mongolia, he saw a car parked in front of the office building, and some staff were busy moving things from it.

He immediately slapped his briefcase cross-body behind his back and snatched it to help with the transport.

The carton is printed in exquisite detail. On the front is a globe overlooking the earth from space. A blue and white light surrounds the earth like a satellite. The front gathers into an arrow shape. The light behind the arrow forms a radiant band, and there is a sentence printed in English: Our goal is endless!

On the side, there is a real photo of an electrical appliance. The black appearance is thick and elegant, and it is slightly protruded in front, shaped like a camera lens.

"So beautiful, what's this?" Li Jiang asked when he moved the carton to the conference room, looking at the photo of the appliances.

"I haven't seen it before. This is the projector, the latest product!" The staff responsible for receiving the reception replied after carefully registering it on the notebook.

"Projector?" Li Jiang was surprised. He had seen a huge projector, which took up a lot of space. When did foreign countries have invented such a small projector? He said with some envy, "I can't believe it is from the United States or Europe. It's really hard to believe that the projector can be made so small! Look at their packaging so beautiful, unlike domestic ones, just use a corrugated cardboard box to load it."

"What is European and American! This is authentic domestic product!" The staff member glared at the corner of the packaging and pointed to a line of inconspicuous fonts, "Look, made in China!"

Li Jiang looked closer and looked for a long time before he found that the line of characters. Compared with the area of ​​the pattern on the packaging, the line of characters was too small. They were also printed in light blue. They needed a lot of effort to discover them under the color of the earth.

On this line of small characters, the English logo of Universal Electronics is printed in bright colors, which is very eye-catching.

Li Jiang was happy and uncomfortable, and said, "Why did you print Made in China so small? If you didn't point it out, I wouldn't have noticed it at all!"

The staff looked around and looked very mysterious, whispering in his ear: "I heard that these projectors are intended to be exported. Our country's technological strength is there, saying it is Chinese goods. Foreigners do not trust it and there is no way. They can only use this method to hide it a little. In order to earn foreign exchange, they have to be wronged."

After listening to the staff's explanation, Li Jiang couldn't tell what it felt.

Our country is still too weak. Foreigners look down on us and don’t believe that we can also produce high-tech products. Even if we are interested in China, it has a history of thousands of years. It seems that modern China has disappeared from the world, and what remains are turmoil and poverty.

The others moved in a few projectors, and Li Jiang counted them and there were ten in total.

"There are quite a lot of them. Can we use so much?" he asked.

"More? I still think it's too small! Do you know, the first batch of 5,000 units was originally planned to export all of them, but the R&D units were pleased with us, so they specially sent ten units. Otherwise, if you go to other units to check it out, they would have to wait slowly. I don't know when it will be available!" The staff member who received his eyes glared and saw a transporter putting the carton on the ground casually, and rushed over in a panic, "What are you doing? You can throw it away at your cabbage at will! Do you know how much this one cost? Ten thousand nineteen thousand! Can you afford to lose if it breaks?"

Ten thousand nine thousand, nearly twenty thousand!

Li Jiang was amazed at his tongue. He didn't eat or drink, and according to his monthly salary of about 200 yuan, it would take a hundred months to afford it!

The staff carefully moved the projector to the conference table, and as a treasure, he saw Li Jiang's expression and laughed at him for not seeing the world: "What's the price? The projector in our teaching building was imported from the United States, which cost more than 700,000 yuan, and it's still US dollars! The money for buying that one is enough for us to buy dozens of such projectors, and we don't have to spend foreign exchange! Our country's technological progress is good, and things that we didn't dare to think about before can now be bought like a cabbage!"

All projectors were transported back, and the staff started to hang up the curtains and started the computer one by one to test.

Li Jiang hurriedly ran to close the curtains, and the staff called him: "No, no! This projector is said to be used as usual in indoor light. This is just a test that does not require the curtains to be pulled."

The signal source is a video recorder, and the staff deliberately used public services to help privately and connected to the audio equipment in the conference room.

After turning on the computer, Teresa Teng's beautiful figure appeared on the screen, a meticulous story of a small town rippling in the conference room, and Li Jiang was stunned. Isn't this the same as a cinema?

The song passed along the corridor to other offices. Many teachers also came over and looked at the bright images of the projector and were amazed. When we realized that this was our domestic technology and domestic manufacturers, when there were no similar products abroad, they applauded at the same time. An old teacher with an outward emotion actually secretly wiped his tears.

"Hey! Aren't you Li Jiang? You're back, how are the students in Inner Mongolia?" The principal and secretary came in and found Li Jiang's figure in the crowd, and suddenly called him.

"Secretary Wu, I'll go this time..." Although he was still a little reluctant to leave the projector, Li Jiang walked over and reported to Secretary Wu's work.

Secretary Wu waved his hand: "Don't tell me, Director Wang of the school admissions office is still waiting for your news. You go there first. When the matter is finished, come to the principal's office. Principal Chen plans to draw someone to go to the southwest to see the situation of a candidate. He said that everyone has been circulated and is worried about this. It's just right that you are back."

Li Jiang looked at Teresa Teng, who was affectionate on the screen again, and turned to report the situation to Director Wang.

When he came out of Director Wang, Principal Chen went to the Education Bureau again. Secretary Wu briefly introduced him to the situation, handed him a thin resume of the candidate, and asked him to rush to the southwest immediately.

Amid the clanging sound of the train, Li Jiang spread out the resume of the candidate and recalled Secretary Wu's explanation to the student in his mind.

The candidate is named Xiao Qiang. He is a student in the capital city of Southwest Province. His parents work in the military and military enterprises. According to the results of the academic exam, the student's first to second year of high school can only be described as a terrible sight. Then it is extremely magical. In the third year of high school, he actually got full marks in six consecutive courses during the final exam. What made people even more broken is his English, which is actually zero egg!

Such a candidate, based on common sense, must have obtained cheating.

Several leaders also sent him a favor letter to the school, which also gave a footnote to the unreality of his achievements from one aspect.

If it were just like this, Principal Chen, who is famous for his rigorous academic research, would definitely not pay attention to those favorable words.

But the matter was not over. Except for the notes written by some leaders, the Precision Electronics Research Institute, which was affiliated with the Institute of June 11, sent a commission request, and the target was this candidate named Xiao Qiang.

On the other hand, the Southwest Military Region also used the form of a public letter to ask Tsinghua University not to admit the candidate, which is confusing.

Secretary Wu closed the office door and told him privately that the Institute of Precision Electronics was the research and development unit that successfully developed the LCD projector this time, which inspired the hearts of the Chinese science and technology community. The central government also planned to commend them, so President Chen must not be treated carelessly for their commission requirements.

This time, Li Jiang was asked to go to the southwest province to take a walk, take a look, listen to the opinions of the student's middle school teacher, and have a more correct understanding of Xiao Qiang.

If he did achieve good results through cheating, then Principal Chen would firmly resist it. Even if it was the central leader's note, he would dare to take it back without hesitation.

If Xiao Qiang is really unbearable, he would have to go to the Precision Electronics Research Institute to communicate well, ask them to understand the school’s difficulties, and also show them tactfully what harm will it cause to recommending such people to study at Tsinghua University, and express their dissatisfaction from the side.

After reading the resume, Li Jiang twitched his lips and felt that this trip to the southwest was probably a difficult task beyond imagination!

He was also a little confused about whether he could complete the task.

After leaving the Southwest Railway Station, Li Jiang did not even put down his luggage and went straight to the 15th Middle School of Southwest Province where Xiao Qiang attended.

Standing at the gate of No. 15 Middle School, Li Jiang looked at the teaching building and playground inside through the iron gate.

It's summer vacation now, and there is no one to see on campus. The hot sun shines on the ground. The teaching building, flagpole, trees and other scenery seem to be twisted and fluctuating in the heat, as if it is a mirage.

The cicada cried unceasingly, and the monotonous voice made Li Jiang feel irritated for no reason.

Through the gatekeeper in the communication room, Li Jiang wanted to call the home of Principal Fan of the No. 15 Middle School and explained his identity and purpose to him. The other party responded quickly and asked him to take a break in the communication room immediately. He immediately rushed with Xiao Qiang's class teacher.

The teacher's dormitory was in the school. In less than a few minutes, Principal Fan and his group quickly came out of the family area. They reached out to him enthusiastically, and a young male teacher took the initiative to help him carry his luggage.

On the way to the principal's office, Li Jiang looked at the mottled walls and the creaking wooden floors, and said thoughtfully: "The school's education funding is still very tight."

"Yes!" Principal Fan said with emotion, "The students in our school are increasing in geometric numbers every year, but the education funding can only increase by a little bit every year. In the past, there were only about 30 students in each class, but now there are about 40 people. When a new batch of school-age children grow up, I am afraid that one move will reach fifty or sixty people. Such educational quality is really worrying!"

Li Jiang said with admiration: "It is not easy for you to educate outstanding students like Xiao Qiang under such conditions!"

"Excellent!" Principal Fan's feet were chaotic, and he suddenly turned his head, his expression was stunned, and then he quickly changed his expression and laughed, "Yes, yes, Xiao Qiang has always been a good student who works very hard. This time, I heard that you came to inspect, we are all happy for him! Being able to get out of Tsinghua University from No. 15 Middle School is not only a personal honor for Xiao Qiang, but also an honor for all the teachers and students of our school. All the students are inspired and devote themselves to their studies..."

As soon as Principal Fan spoke, he kept talking. Li Jiang had to interrupt him: "You are too modest. Xiao Qiang's college entrance examination results have already been registered in our school. He has very excellent scores: mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, and Chinese, politics, and history are only a little short of full scores. This is also a top score in the country! It's just a pity that this student seems to be a bit biased in subject matter. His English scores are not ideal, and he only got thirty-eight points..."

"Thirty-eight points! So high!" Teacher Li, the head teacher who had been walking behind them silently, screamed in surprise.

"Hmm?" Li Jiang clearly felt that there was a story in it. He was about to ask, but Principal Fan rushed to say, "It's here, this is my office. Please ask Teacher Li to take a break here. Xiao Qiang's head teacher and I took his file over."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether the file is taken or not. I'm just wondering. According to the student's test scores in previous years, the students' past exams were quite...unsatisfactory. How could he get such a good score in the final exam of the first half of the semester of senior high school? Although the college entrance examination scores this time dropped slightly, considering the subjects deducted points, it is mainly on subjective questions. This is understandable. We are just interested. How did his scores suddenly improve?" Li Jiang asked this question sharply.

"This...this..." Principal Fan was embarrassed and couldn't speak. He saw Teacher Li at the gate and immediately pushed her out, "This is Xiao Qiang's class teacher, and she has the most say in this issue."

Teacher Li was surprised, and then hurriedly said, "I don't know very well. Xiao Qiang mainly relies on self-study. If you want to ask the reason, I think it's better to ask him himself."

Li Jiang frowned and was very suspicious of their attitude, so he said to Principal Fan: "Principal Fan, if it is convenient, can I talk to Teacher Li alone. Do you think so?"

"This is totally due!" Principal Fan did not refuse. "Although Teacher Li is very modest, Teacher Li, as the head teacher, made an indelible contribution! Teacher Li's grades are also the results of our whole school! There is no doubt about this!"

Although he had set the tone for the conversation, when Li Jiang and Teacher Li met in the office, he still couldn't help but walk around and seemed very anxious.

Xiao Qiang may be admitted to Tsinghua University, and this news shocked him.

Although he was surprised by Xiao Qiang's final results after the college entrance examination results were announced, he was just glad that this student finally won glory for the school and was regarded as a model of backwardness by the Municipal Education Commission, promoted it and won honor for the school.

However, the weak English program has always restricted Xiao Qiang's university admission direction. There is basically no chance of science, and many majors in liberal arts are also restricted. According to the application submitted by Xiao Qiang, all physics, electronics, and military colleges with strict requirements for foreign languages. Therefore, it is not surprising that even if the admissions of various colleges and universities end, all his volunteers were wiped out.

President Fan did not make much preparations because of this. Last time, Tsinghua University asked Xiao Qiang for his past grades, and a teacher made a fuss and reported his grades. He thought he was finished. He never expected that Tsinghua University actually sent Li Jiang to conduct a field investigation. He was caught off guard without any preparation.

President Fan doesn’t care whether Xiao Qiang can enter Tsinghua University or even get into university. Anyway, the college entrance examination has ended, and this problem has nothing to do with the school anymore, so there is no need to worry about him.

However, the two sides of things are reflected again. If Xiao Qiangcai was promoted by the Municipal Education Commission as a model of backward propaganda and was immediately rejected by major universities, it would also embarrass everyone. This forced him to speak good things for Xiao Qiang in a unwilling and reluctant manner, and strive to sell him out.

Not to mention that the person who came to Tsinghua University today, even the inspectors of a second- and third-rate university would spare no effort to praise Xiao Qiang to the sky, so that both sides would end successfully.

When the door was pushed open, Li Jiang's forehead wrinkled into a Sichuan-shaped shape. Principal Fan's heart skipped a beat and sank.

"Teacher Li, all our teachers in the school think that Xiao Qiang is actually a good student..." He met him and wanted to make another last effort.

"President Fan, you need to say nothing about it. I understand your mood. However, our Tsinghua University is also famous in China. Although the students they train cannot say that they can become leaders in a certain industry, they are also elites in the industry. Students like Xiao Qiang are not suitable for scientific work just because of his resistance to English. I think he has a better future in the sports world or martial arts world." Li Jiang was in a bad mood. He traveled thousands of miles to the southwest, but encountered such a student, which made him feel frustrated.

He understood why Xiao Qiang's class teacher was surprised to lose his composure after hearing that he scored 38 points in English. Indeed, if Xiao Qiang scored 38 points, it would definitely be an amazing result!

Because, he is an English idiot!

Moreover, he also wanted to explain the reasons for the school's rejection to Director Gu of the Precision Electronics Institute, which made him feel even more bored.

Such a student is just rubbish!

But it was just such a garbage, and there were so many people talking for him. Even Director Gu, who had achieved success, was forced to look for him under pressure. The sacred and noble scientific research institute became the mouthpiece of a playboy, and a ball of flame burned in Li Jiang's chest.

In his heart, Xiao Qiang has been automatically classified as a rank of playboys with deep backgrounds, and it is very likely that he used the power behind this college entrance examination and might just find someone else to take the exam!

Otherwise, it cannot explain why other subjects can get such high scores, but English is astonishingly low, because only this subject is Xiao Qiang’s real score or a super-level performance!

Behind the classic, bullshit typical behind the trend!

This is a despicable act to the solemn national college entrance examination and an insult to other students!

Li Jiang was extremely angry about this!
