Chapter 24 Mutual Aid Association

On the first day of August, Chen Chuan arrived at Wuyi University early in the morning and pushed his bicycle into the school gate.

Just like last time, he entered from the side door. From time to time, a car would drive in from outside the door and drive directly to the front steps of the auditorium along the main entrance avenue.

When I stepped into the school again, I saw more people on the road than that day. After all, the people who came to apply for the school on that day were only one of the groups, and they were all locals.

In fact, every year, hundreds of thousands of local and non-local students of appropriate age apply to this institution. Many students are admitted to Wuyi through the registration points set up by the school in various counties and towns. They account for at least more than half of the total number of students, and this proportion seems to be expanding every year.

Chen Chuan followed the sign hanging on the roadside and came to the old building where they would register for the exam that day with many other students.

This time, at the signal of the senior students standing in front of the building, I went directly to the original training ground and registered and filled out a form. After handing in the form, I soon received a reddish-brown student certificate.

He opened it and saw that there was the photo he submitted last time and his temporary student number on the ID card. With this student ID card, he could tell others without any hesitation that he was a student of Wuhan University.

Even though he hadn't passed the retest yet, he was in a good mood just because he had the certificate in his hand. At this time, he heard a cheer, and when he looked back, he saw a student who had received the certificate shouting excitedly, and he understood this.

Having this student certificate is like having one foot on the upward staircase. It is hard to say how far you can go, but at least there is a path under your feet.

According to the booklet given by the school, he knew that after getting this student certificate, he could apply for a dormitory from the school. However, this dormitory was only temporary and was currently provided to students who came from other places and had no place to stay. After the re-examination, it would be adjusted again based on the re-examination scores.

Originally, because he had agreed with Nian Fuli, he planned to move out immediately. But now that his family is not urging him, and considering that he may need to receive training at Yu Gang's place for the next month, if he moves in, it would be inconvenient because the distance is far and he has to accept the school's management. So he decided to wait until after the re-examination this month.

What we need to clarify now is the specific situation of the re-examination.

After he walked out of the registration office, he saw a sign on the side wall of the concrete stairs that read "Admission and Re-examination Guidance". The students who came out were all walking up the stairs, and he followed them to the second floor.

When he got up there, he saw that the original training ground was divided into sections by isolation boards. At this time, a student was leaving his seat with the things he had received. He walked over and sat down. Sitting opposite him was a senior with a gentle face and glasses. He said to him, "Student, please show me your student ID."

Chen handed over the student certificate he had just received. After the senior student opposite him confirmed it, he asked, "Student Chen, may I ask, are you having trouble paying the tuition?"

Chen Chuan looked at him and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

The senior explained, "It's like this. Every year, Wuyi has many students who can't afford the tuition due to poor family conditions. They either default on their tuition for a long time or have to borrow money or fight underground. In view of this, the school organized a mutual aid association led by the student union."

He smiled and said, "As long as both parties sign an agreement, the mutual aid association will provide financial assistance, and the students can wait until graduation to repay the fees they owe. This will help the students and allow them to study with peace of mind."

Chen Chuan understood that this was actually a funding organization, which was also a feature of the Dashun Republic of China. By providing financial or other assistance to potential individuals or groups, certain returns could be obtained.

Although it sounds good on the surface, in most cases, the sponsored party will only become a tool for the sponsor to gain profits, so this kind of thing should be avoided if possible. Besides, as long as you pass the re-examination, tuition fees will not be a problem.

He replied politely: "Thank you, senior, I don't need it for now."

The senior student smiled and did not mention it again. Instead, he lowered his head and flipped through the bags. He took one out from a pile of cowhide envelopes and pushed it in front of him. He said, "Student, this is the information of the senior students you may encounter in the re-examination this time. You can take a look."

Chen Chuan thanked him, opened the envelope, and pulled out five sheets of mimeographed paper, one for each senior student. On each sheet was a general description of the students' specialties and skills.

But at this moment, he felt something was wrong, and looked up and asked, "Five people?"

In the end, there will be only one student who will be responsible for confronting him, but now he is given the information of five people. In the past, it was impossible for candidates to study all five people. Even if the candidates were willing to do it, they did not have the time to do targeted training. Moreover, the information here is too general, and there is almost not much useful information.

The senior nodded and said, "Indeed, there are five. The school will not directly provide the candidates with the real candidates for confrontation. The candidates need to make their own judgment, but..."

He smiled slightly, "If the examinee accepts the assistance of the mutual aid association, then the mutual aid association will help analyze which senior student you are most likely to fight against. I can't guarantee that it will be 100% accurate, but the mutual aid association is full of experienced seniors, and the accuracy rate is always very high."

Seeing that Chen Chuan didn't say anything, he said sincerely, "Students, I understand that you don't dare to accept the financial aid for fear of paying more. But after accepting the financial aid, the agreement will not be so strict on you. You will not be forced to do anything. In addition, the mutual aid association will provide not only financial assistance, but also various learning suggestions and conveniences. You will experience the benefits of this once you join."

At this point, he smiled again, "But the re-examination is to select students who are truly capable. If you have the confidence and feel that you can pass without relying on the mutual aid association, you can of course choose not to accept it."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "I need to think about it."

The senior nodded in agreement: "Of course, you should think about it carefully. If you have any ideas, you can come to me again. Here is my contact information."

As he spoke, he took out a prepared slip of paper, pushed it in front of him, and said, "Oh, by the way, there is also this receipt, please sign it."

Chen Chuan glanced at the list, picked up a pen and signed it, then pushed it back. He picked up the piece of paper with the contact information and stuffed it into the brown leather bag along with five sheets of mimeographed paper. After packing them up, he stood up, nodded to the senior, turned around and left, heading downstairs.

At the same time, on this side of the auditorium, Shan Xiong, Liu Cai and several other second-year students were standing in a row, each waiting next to a half-person-high black shell recorder.

Not long after, a group of well-dressed young men and women walked up the steps in front of the auditorium, walked in from the open door, and came towards them.

One of the students came up to Liu Cai, handed him a delicate hard card, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, senior."

Different from the student certificates for admission through examination, the student certificates for admission through recommendation are in the form of name cards, and students obtain them long before entering the school.

Liu Cai hurriedly said, "You're welcome, junior. It's no trouble." After taking it, he put the name card into the groove of the punching machine, and typed out a string of numbers according to the strength of the color print on the card. Then he shook the handle, and a page of smooth, crisp paper slid out from the outlet below.

It lists the specific profile of a senior student, including height, weight, speed, blood type, heart rate, punching and kicking strength, movement habits, limb size and body proportions, and other detailed and cumbersome information.

Liu Cai picked up the paper, put it into a pre-prepared briefcase with the school name printed on it, and handed it to the student opposite him together with the metal card with both hands.

"Thank you, senior." The young student took it with a smile, waved to him, and walked into the aisle.

Liu Cai was fine. Shan Xiong on the side was a little absent-minded today, so his hands were a little slow. The student opposite him was immediately dissatisfied and said to him: "Why are you so slow? Are you okay?"

Shan Xiong cursed in his heart and wanted to get angry but couldn't. These students who were admitted by recommendation had powerful people behind them. Even if they had just entered the school, they were not people he could afford to offend.

The muscles on his face twitched as he took out the papers and cards, packed them up hastily and handed them over. The student opposite him looked at him with dissatisfaction, grabbed the things, and walked quickly inside.

Liu Cai looked at Shan Xiong and whispered to him, "Control your temper. These powerful students are not easy to mess with. There are only a few dozen of them anyway. Just be patient and it will pass."

Shan Xiong snorted. If he had known that he would be arranged here for the entrance examination, he would never have gone to the stage. But speaking of it, the brothers outside said that they found the boy. Yesterday, they said they would give him an explanation and asked him to wait. How come there is no news after a whole day? Could it be that they didn't catch the boy? Or was he delayed by something else?
On the other side, after Chen Chuan walked out of the old building, he walked all the way out of Wuyi School and came to a telephone booth opposite the square. There was a student there who was making a phone call, apparently asking his family for money. He waited for a long time before coming out, and he looked frustrated, as if he didn't get the money.

After everyone left, he walked in, picked up the phone, took out a dozen coins from his bag, stuffed them in, and dialed a number. Soon a sweet female voice came from the other end: "This is the Mi Law Firm. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Chuan said: "I'm looking for assistant lawyer Gao Ming. Yes, no appointment. I'm his cousin."

"Please wait."

After a while, a lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Cousin Chen Chuan? Why did you think of calling me?"

"Gao Ming, it's me." Chen Chuanshuo said, "I was admitted to Wuyi University two months ago, and I will take the retest next month."

The person on the other side paused after hearing the news, but obviously knew that he was not here to show off, so his voice became much more serious: "Cousin, you talk, I'm listening."

Chen Chuan leaned slightly to the side and said, "There is a student mutual aid association in Wuyi University that provides financial assistance to students and seems to be able to provide advice and screening for the re-examination content. I think I might be able to learn something about the mutual aid association from you."

The voice on the other end said with a smile: "Mi Law Firm is one of Wu Yi's partners. I can check the files here. I am an assistant lawyer. The consultation fee is ten yuan per minute. Are you sure, cousin?"

Chen Chuan said with great certainty: "Sure."

There was a "tick-tock" sound from the other side, and the voice came again: "Billing will start from now on. According to the files of the firm, the Mutual Aid Association of Wuyi University Hall in Yangzhi City originated from the student union within the school and was formed by some powerful students.

The mutual aid association will give the sponsored students re-examinations and provide follow-up learning assistance. For those with outstanding performance, the mutual aid association will use agreements to recruit them so that they will serve powerful students and the teams and even forces behind them after graduation.

For students who are mediocre and unwilling to follow suit, they will transfer the agreement to various companies and senior law firms through their clients, and the latter will take over and handle it.”

Chen Chuan held the microphone and listened quietly. He did not ask how to deal with it. It was difficult for an individual to fight against these companies and firms. He thought for a moment and asked, "What is Wuyi University's attitude?"

The person on the other side said succinctly: "Unless you are a particularly valuable student, you are worthy of the attention of the higher-ups of the school."

Chen Chuan nodded and asked, "I remember that Wuda also provides financial assistance to students?"

There was a sound of pages turning on the other side. After a while, the person said, "Yes, but you need to apply in advance and submit it to the school affairs office. It needs to be approved by at least three school directors. The review may take a long time, and few people can apply for it. Anyway, I can't see it in the information here, so the funds only exist in theory."

Chen Chuan said: "I see, that's all I have."

There was another "tick-tock" sound from the other end, and then the voice said, "The consultation is over. The total time was 92 seconds, which counts as two minutes. The firm charges a consultation fee of 20 yuan. However, this is my first consulting business, so I can give you a 50% discount, cousin."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Great, thank you." He knew that this information could not be easily found out with such a small amount of money.

The voice smiled and said, "Cousin, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were admitted to Wuda? Next time I go back to Yangzhi City, you have to treat me."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Definitely next time. By the way, there is one more thing I want you to check. We can talk about it next time we meet. I won't disturb you from your work. I'm hanging up first." After saying goodbye to each other on the other end, he hung up the phone.

Walking out of the phone booth, he put his hands in his pockets and stood in the empty square, opposite the gate of Wuyi Academy.

Many people were coming in and out there at the moment.

Obviously, the funding provided by the mutual aid association requires sufficient returns. If he does not want to be controlled by the mutual aid association, then he needs to rely on his own strength to pass the re-examination.
