Originally, matters like this should have been handled by the Bureau of Education in the country. However, those universities were just too anxious, so they rushed to Jiang Cheng for help.
The people at the Bureau of Education felt that they might not be able to persuade Jiang Cheng. Given Jiang Cheng's current status, it's very likely he wouldn't pay them any attention.
From a rank standpoint, the people from the Bureau of Education couldn't reach Jiang Cheng. Although Jiang Cheng wasn't part of the system, his status was already higher than anyone in the Bureau of Education.
When the military wanted to contact Jiang Cheng, they had to go through General Xiang Dong, and even then, it depended on Jiang Cheng's mood whether the matter would be resolved.
The Bureau of Education couldn't possibly bring in a big figure like Jiang Cheng, so they never dared to bring up the matter.
