Five minutes before Lynch arrived at the school, there was a discussion going on in the school's conference room.
The president of the Student Union was negotiating with the school's board of directors. The president of the Student Union had a frosty expression on her face, while the dean of the Academic Affairs Office had a smile on his face. He even gave people the illusion that he was a little submissive.
In the Bailey Federation and even the entire world, which famous university didn't have a board of directors that had monstrous power?
Especially in a monarchical country like Gevra, the power of the students in the school was suppressed to the limit. Some of the "royal" schools even adopted a semi-military management system. If you wanted to join, you could join. If you didn't want to, you could get lost.
Not to mention the Student Union going against the school management, they didn't even dare to question the school management's orders too obviously.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the room was very strange and contrary to common sense.
"I've seen this year's enrollment plan. Nearly 10% of them are recommended students. This number has exceeded the number of recommended students recruited in the past years. You're destroying the environment of our school!"
The president of the Student Union was a girl. Her golden brown hair and fair face without many blemishes made it difficult for people to feel that she was scary even when she was angry.
She slammed the table fiercely. The dean of the Academic Affairs Office on the other side of the table smiled bitterly. The principal and vice-principal pretended not to hear anything.
The dean of the Academic Affairs Office glanced at the big shots around him and finally explained in a low voice while wiping his sweat. "Listen to me first, Anna …"
"This matter is not as simple as you think. We don't want to accept too many recommended students, but you know what happened last year. The financial crisis, the economic collapse, more and more opportunities. Those who weren't very interested in this before became interested."
"We all know that when the world is in chaos, opportunities will come …"
This sentence, "When the world is in chaos (if the government can't maintain a stable social order), opportunities will come (opportunism and opportunism will prevail) …", came from a well-known sociologist. He used this sentence to clearly explain some truths, some real phenomena.
When the order collapsed, the focus of social development and maintenance would shift, thus providing some daring people with very good opportunistic opportunities.
It was the same for the Federation. Opportunists were beginning to appear frequently. Coupled with the recent changes in the country and abroad, people could already see some of the future trends.
At this time, it was necessary for the younger generation of his family to go to the Sacred Peace Alliance Academy to get some gold plating.
In the Federation's upper-class society, the Academy of the Holy Peace and its members were almost universal passports.
It was precisely because the mainstays of the upper class were made up of these people that when doing many things, there would be a difference between having such a status and not having such a status.
As a result, some of the students who couldn't enter the academy through formal means and didn't want to study in the Sacred Peace Alliance Academy were sent to the academy in the form of recommendation letters through various connections.
The Federation University's admissions method was not as straightforward as the examination-oriented education method, but an interview system.
If a recommendation letter was personally written by someone with enough weight, even if they recommended trash, there was a high chance that trash could become a university student, or even a university student in a famous school, if they could afford the tuition.
The interview system seemed to be a shortcut for those who liked to go through the back door. This kind of subjective admissions method allowed some abnormal people to become university students.
For example, two years ago, the son of a tycoon who was admitted to a university on the grounds that he was "passionate about doing housework, healthy and sunny" had only barely passed his high school graduation in art.
The reason he passed his art was because the art teacher thought that his graduation work had the style of post-modern abstract art, so he reluctantly passed it.
However, such a student was actually able to enter a famous school, which caused some discussion at the time.
Now, Saint Cecilia Academy was facing a similar problem. A large number of students with recommendation letters were interviewed (exempted from the exam?)
Entering the school in this way was bound to cause the school's atmosphere to quickly deteriorate.
These students did not need to use their brains to know that they had extraordinary backgrounds, but they were not the true elites of their families. They would definitely make the school a mess.
As the president of the Student Union, Anna could not sit by and watch such a thing happen. After all, in her opinion, this school was not only for the management of the school, but also for the students.
The dean's careful explanation was a success. Anna's emotions were somewhat soothed. In fact, it was mainly because she also knew that she couldn't change anything by throwing a tantrum. However, she had to show her and the Student Union's attitude. She couldn't let these people act recklessly.
The Federation did not only have one Saint Cecilia Academy. They could totally push these people to other places!
The atmosphere in the room was a bit silent. In the end, Anna seemed to make a concession. "We can't change the past, but I don't want more recommended students to enter the school. This is a responsibility to the school and the students!"
The principal, vice principal, and other management members continued to pretend to be senile. Only the dean nodded and wiped his sweat. "Yes, I will find a way to reject them."
It seemed that the management of the school was very afraid of Anna, or at least, they did not want to offend her. This was a unique characteristic of the Saint Cecilia Academy.
The Student Union had a lot of power. It was so powerful that it could sometimes change the name list of the management of the school!
It should be known that the students who could enter this school, other than those recommended students, were either excellent in character and learning, or had the potential to become a top scholar in a certain field or even change a certain aspect of society.
Otherwise, they were the children of some Saint Cecilia Academy members.
The Student Union had enough social connections. They could contact people of all levels and organize all kinds of activities without the help of the school. The Student Union even had so much money that it could directly approve some scientific research projects!
There were always some parents who wanted their children to have a bright future, so they threw money into the school to give their children a bright future.
In addition, the Student Union was an elite group of students. Everyone here was not just an ordinary family.
They might come from a family of scholars or experts, or have influence in a certain field.
They might come from a family of capitalists and have money.
They might come from a family of politicians and have power.
Such a group of people united together had ideas, money, power, and the ability to execute. The school board could not do anything to them. This was also a characteristic of the Saint Cecilia Academy. The Student Union sometimes had more power than the management of the school.
As the two sides compromised, the atmosphere in the room gradually eased. Anna achieved her goal, and then she began to apologize.
She also had a very extraordinary family, so she knew how to face the world.
After relying on the power in her hands to achieve her own goals, she might as well lower her posture and say something worthless but could ease the relationship between each other to maintain the dignity of everyone.
At this time, Lynch entered the school gate.
Nowadays, no one knew where Lynch went. After all, the newspaper said that he was a youth leader. No matter how much the reporter who wrote this report received a valuable thank you letter from Lynch, at least the media reported it.
After declining the invitation of the two cute girls who took the initiative to lead the way for him, Lynch found the management building himself. After all, it was right in front of the main entrance.
After registering at the security office, he entered the place that 95% of the high school students in the Federation yearned for.
The mirrored marble was spotless, and some kind of metal filler was used between the marble bricks. After careful maintenance, walking here was like walking in a palace.
The bright architectural style made the overall structure of the building very transparent. There was always a very special feeling floating in people's hearts.
It was said that the school's architect was very famous internationally. Even the Presidential Palace was designed by this architect.
The place was good, but it was a bit difficult to find people.
Lynch went to several offices, but no one answered. He did not know if it was because it was still summer vacation and the school management was not here, or for some other reason.
He was a little regretful that he did not ask the two girls to lead the way for him. Just as he was wandering around, he faintly heard some voices at a corner.
Judging from the door sign, it was a conference room. The dark red door with bright gold edges was not completely closed. Perhaps the people inside did not realize that someone would sneak upstairs during the holidays.
If he was just an ordinary student, he would wait there silently. After the people inside finished what they were doing, he would tell them that he had been waiting here for a long time to show his sincerity.
However, he was not an ordinary student, so he knocked on the door of the conference room directly.
It might be rude to do so, but he really did not want to waste time here. God knew how long he would have to wait!
Ten seconds later, a person who looked like a teacher pushed the door open. She stood in the door and looked at Lynch. She did not recognize Lynch at first.
In the eyes of the teachers, most of the students looked the same. Except for the students that they had taught and had left a deep impression on, the rest were all made from the same mold.
She looked at Lynch from head to toe and asked softly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
While she was looking at Lynch, Lynch was also looking at her. "Yes, I want to ask where I can participate in the recommendation interview …"
