Chapter 1090: The Spot Has Been Taken
Before she knew it, it was September 2013. Just as the new semester was starting, Gu Suining entered her senior year. Senior year was a very important stage for her because she wanted to apply for admission to the graduate program at her university.
When Gu Suining came out of Wenyuan Tower, she had a neatly printed application form in her hand, but the form was crumpled and crumpled as she held it.
Suddenly her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw it was a message from her best friend, Tang Ruixuan, asking how her application for graduate school was going, since today was the deadline.
Gu Suining stared at her phone, not replying for a long time. She put the phone back in her pocket and walked towards the dormitory. After walking for a while, she took the phone out again and replied with three words: "Working on it."
After confirming that the message had been sent successfully, she put her phone back in her pocket.
Back in her dorm, she sat sullenly in her chair and casually threw the application form into the trash can.
Seeing this, her roommate Qi Sijie casually asked, "Sui Ning, have the results for your postgraduate recommendation come out yet?"
Gu Suining replied listlessly, "There are no more spots available."
Upon hearing this, Qi Sijie's voice immediately rose: "No more spots? Are you kidding me? Didn't they say your major had three spots for guaranteed admission to graduate school? Your GPA just happened to be third, you should have gotten one no matter what!"
Gu Suining looked melancholy. Yes, how could it just disappear like that?
She was called to her counselor Zhang Haiyan's office today, thinking she had good news to share, but it turned out to be the worst possible news.
She still remembers that when Zhang Haiyan looked at her, there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Then they told her the results, saying that her GPA was ranked fourth, and the third place was taken by someone who transferred from another college and wasn't even in their major, because she had never heard of that person before.
In short, she lost her spot for postgraduate studies.
When her roommate asked her why, she felt wronged and told her the reason.
Upon hearing this, Qi Sijie was immediately filled with righteous indignation: "What the hell is going on? Changing majors in the senior year and still getting a guaranteed spot in graduate school? This is too blatant!"
"Teacher Zhang said that Wang Nian published two papers and won a national award. All things considered, his quantitative score was higher than mine."
"A thesis? What thesis? Have you seen it?" Qi Sijie asked three questions in a row.
Gu Suining didn't answer. She hadn't seen the two papers, but what could she do? Question whether their papers were fake? Accuse them of having shady dealings when they changed their major?
After all, she hadn't graduated yet. Even if she couldn't get a guaranteed admission to graduate school, she could still take the national postgraduate entrance examination. If she fell out with the school, it would affect her postgraduate entrance examination. That's why she held back.
She sighed, "Forget it, there's always the postgraduate entrance exam, it's not like there's no chance."
Qi Sijie knew that all the students could do was complain; the die was cast, and there was nothing they could do to change it.
At this moment, the dormitory door was pushed open from the outside, and two people came in. These were the other two members of the dormitory, but these two people did not get along well with Gu Suining and Qi Sijie. The dormitory was divided into two opposing groups.
As soon as they entered, one of them, named Sui Xinran, began to make sarcastic remarks.
"I heard that someone's application for postgraduate admission fell through. This shows that God still has eyes and knows that some people are not worthy of being recommended for postgraduate studies based on their character."
Gu Suining was so angry that she gripped the table tightly with one hand. She tried her best to hold back her anger, constantly reassuring herself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry."
At this moment, Qi Sijie, who had always disliked Sui Xinran, stood up: "Sui Xinran, can you shut your stinking mouth? What does this have to do with you? You have no hope of passing the postgraduate entrance exam, so who gave you the courage to question others?"
Sui Xinran immediately retorted, her words quite sarcastic: "That's ridiculous. Who do you think you are? You're like a rabbit trying to pull a millstone, pretending to be a big-eared donkey."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Gu Suining, not wanting to cause any further trouble, quickly pulled Qi Sijie out of the dormitory.
"Sui Ning, what are you doing?" Qi Sijie complained to Gu Sui Ning while pointing in the direction of the dormitory. "You can't give in to that kind of person. Giving in will only make them take advantage of you."
Gu Suining tried to persuade her roommate: "Alright, I know. We're already seniors. If things get out of hand, it's not worth getting punished one by one. Anyway, we're only together for these two semesters. Just hang in there and it'll pass. After graduation, we'll all go back to our own homes and never see each other again."
Gu Suining pulled Qi Sijie along as they wandered aimlessly through the campus. Although the September weather was still a bit hot, her heart felt ice-cold. Anyone would feel the same way. Her guaranteed postgraduate admission was gone. Who could accept that?
"Are you just going to accept this?" Qi Sijie was still indignant on her behalf.
"Are you just going to accept this?" Qi Sijie was still indignant on her behalf.
Gu Suining gave a wry smile: "What can I do if they don't acknowledge it? Should I go to the principal's office and put up a banner? Or post it online? Forget it, I'm planning to stay at this school and continue preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. If this gets out of hand, even if I pass the exam, no teacher will dare to accept me."
Qi Sijie shook her head; she knew her roommate was right.
Gu Suining treated her roommates to a milk tea shop off-campus. When the two returned to the dormitory, Sui Xinran and another roommate, Yang Chu, went out.
She sat down at her desk, took out her phone, and sent a message to her friend Tang Ruixuan: "I lost my postgraduate recommendation qualification. I was squeezed out by someone who changed majors."
She then waited for her friend's call, knowing that Tang Ruixuan would definitely call after seeing the message.
Sure enough, the phone vibrated shortly afterward, and the caller ID on the screen read "Tang Ruixuan".
"What's going on? Explain yourself to me clearly." Tang Ruixuan's voice was filled with both concern and anger.
Gu Suining then told her friend about the whole incident, including how the person named Wang Nian published two papers and won awards, which pushed her down to fourth place based on her overall score, causing her to lose her eligibility for postgraduate recommendation.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ruixuan immediately asked, "A paper? What level of paper is it? In which journal was it published?"
"I didn't ask in detail, and Teacher Zhang didn't tell me either." Gu Suining weakly advised her friend, "Forget it, Xuanxuan, since the postgraduate recommendation is like this, I'll just take the postgraduate entrance exam. Anyway, I've been preparing for it since last year, and there are still more than three months until the exam. I don't think it will be a big problem."
"Okay, we'll do it your way. I'm relieved to see that you have this mindset." Tang Ruixuan was relieved to see that her friend was not discouraged.
But she wouldn't let it go so easily. She knew that Gu Suining had always wanted to become Uncle Chen Zhe's student. She originally thought that this matter was not a big problem, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
If it were just a matter of skill, it would be one thing, but it's obvious that the other side isn't playing the legitimate game. So let's wait and see.
Thinking of this, she comforted her friend, "Then you should study hard first. I'll come back to see you during the National Day holiday, and we can talk in detail when we meet."
