Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 658 – It’s easy to get a postgraduate recommendation“Feng Yu, I want to take the postgraduate qualifying exams. My instructor said that those who completed Master will be able to remind in school as a teaching assistant. She was one of them.” Li Na, who was in Feng Yu’s arms, said.
“You want to be a postgraduate student? Why do you still need to take the exams? Your university does not have a recommendation?” Feng Yu thought it was some important matters. It’s only continuing her studies. Li Na likes to study, then just consider. What’s the big deal?
University lecturers’ lives were more relaxed than high school teachers. High school students were mischievous, and Li Na’s character will not be able to handle them.
“We do have recommendations. But I don’t have the chance to get it. I am not close to any lecturers in the university. I heard that recommendations are not based on the results. It depends on whether if the lecturers want to recommend you or not.” Li Na replied.
Li Na’s results were among the top in her school. If the recommendation was based on results, she should be getting one. But postgraduate recommendations do not only look at the results of the student. It also depends on the lecturers and teachers’ recommendations.
“How’s the reputation of the course’s lecturer you are taking? Does he have any hobbies or likings?” Feng Yu asked.
“I am not sure what he likes, and he has a good reputation.”
“What I meant is if that lecturer is an upright person with no desires.”

Feng Yu heard this and knew how to manage this lecturer.
Feng Yu got off the bed and went to the living room. He took out 7 to 8 shopping cards from his bag: “Give one card to that lecturer and the head of the department. Give one to your instructor and all other related teachers. Hmmm…… If there are extras, give the remaining cards to that lecturer. Just tell him that you want a recommendation.”
Li Na was shocked. “You want me to bribe them? How can you do this?”
Feng Yu immediately start to brainwash Li Na. “How can this be considered bribery? Do you know what day it is in two days?”
“Teachers’ Day?”
“Yes. It’s Teachers’ Day. It’s normal to give gifts to your teachers. This tradition had been passed down since ancient times. During the olden days, you need to give teachers gifts for them to accept you as a student, and you still need to pay school fees and work for them for free. The teacher can also scold and hit you. During your teacher’s birthday or your teacher’s wife birthdays, you also need to give them gifts. Have you given your teachers any birthday presents on their birthday? Have you treated them to dinner before? That’s why you should show your appreciation of this coming Teachers’ Day.”
“But from what you said, it should be enough to treat my teachers to a meal. Also, what are these cards? Shopping cards? The Tai Hua Supermarket’s shopping cards that are being advertised on the papers? The value is…… 5,000 RMB?! It’s too much. This amount is too much! This is no longer showing my appreciation.” Li Na immediately places the cards on the table.
“Listen to me. It’s fine to give more. You are getting knowledge from them and not learning their bad habits. Just think about it. If you don’t give them gifts, other students will still give them. Then you will miss your opportunity. It is your dream to be a teacher. You want to educate the future generation, but isn’t it better if you can let more students be teachers like you?” Feng Yu continued his brainwashing tactics.
“Stop hesitating. It’s settled. Tomorrow when you go to school, visit every teacher and give them these gifts. It is very tiring to sit for the postgraduate entrance exams. Getting a recommendation is so much convenient. The time used to prepare for the exams can be put into better use, like going out to play. Let’s visit Guozijian next weekend to have a feel of the imperial university in the olden days.”
Li Na looked at Feng Yu speechlessly. Feng Yu seems to be someone without ambition, but his businesses were doing well. His companies had even expanded to overseas. But to label him as someone ambitious, he kept asking Li Na to go out and play and don’t encourage her to study hard. Feng Yu was a righteous person? No. He often asks Li Na to use his connections and go through backdoors. But if anyone calls Feng Yu as someone unrighteous, Li Na will argue that Feng Yu had donated a lot of school buildings to many schools.
“Nana, I’m hungry.” Feng Yu gave a pitiful look to Li Na.
“We did not buy any groceries today. We can only have congee. There is still an egg in the fridge.”
“I don’t want to eat that. I want to eat you. Come…… To celebrate getting a postgraduate recommendation, let’s have another round!”
“What sort of reason is this? You don’t…… Ah…….”
……
Li Na was unwilling to give gifts. In the end, she still refuses. So, Feng Yu got to do this on behalf of her. He will clear all obstacles for Li Na!
Feng Yu feels that there’s no need to donate anything to Li Na’s university. It cost so much more. Furthermore, this year’s plans were to donate to middle and high schools. This problem could be settled using less than 100 thousand RMB. Why spend a few million?

“Hi, Teacher Su. I am Li Na’s cousin, Feng Yu. I need to discuss something with you
“Oh, Mr. Feng. Nice to meet you. How can I help you?” Instructor Teacher Su asked.
“It’s Teachers’ Day. According to our hometown’s custom, we must treat the teachers for dinner. When are you free?”
Teacher Su was surprised. Hometown’s custom? Since when the Northeast have such traditions? I am also from the Northeast. How come I do not know?
“There is no need for dinner. Li Na is doing well in school. A few days ago, I had suggested to her to continue her postgraduate studies.”
“I also heard that she wants to continue. This school should have postgraduate recommendations. What do you think of Li Na?”
“I am not qualified to say anything about this. It’s the head of the department and the lecturers who can decide.” Teacher Su’s face changes when she knew Feng Yu was trying to go through the backdoor.
“I will speak to the head and lecturer. I am here today to thank Teacher Su for taking care of Li Na. Since you have no time for dinner, then it’s fine. I will go back now. I will treat you next time.””
Feng Yu left. Teacher Su walked Feng Yu to the door. After she returned to her seat, she noticed there was a card on her desk.
She picked it up. It was the Tai Hua Shopping card. The newspaper and radio had been advertising this card. Oh my god! The value of this card was 5,000 RMB!
Teacher Su panicked. 5,000 RMB. This should be left behind by Feng Yu on purpose. I can’t help with this matter. The most I can do is to submit Li Na’s name for the recommendation. It’s the head of the department and lecturer that had the final say.
