After submitting the materials and application form, you still need to wait for the review.
After the preliminary review, the first round of written exams will be scheduled.
Yu Sangwan and a group of applicants were in the side hall at the corner of Guan Chao, waiting for the results to be announced to see if they could get exam qualifications.
"Phew!" Yu Sangwan kept taking deep breaths. Although she had confidence in herself, it was still hard to avoid feeling nervous.
Staring intently at the wooden door in front, suddenly... it opened. Everyone, instinctively, stood up.
"Everyone, don’t be anxious. The list is out... Don’t crowd, pay attention to the LED screen where your admission ticket number will be determined according to the ranking based on your preliminary review results..."
As soon as the words were finished, everyone looked at the LED screen. The voice inside ca out, "SG001, Yu Sangwan..."
"Ah!"
Yu Sangwan excitedly covered her mouth, almost screaming out loud. She never expected her ranking to be so high!
"Haha." Soone beside her smiled and reached out to her, "Yu Sangwan, is that you?"
"Ah?" Yu Sangwan was stunned, staring blankly at the person in front of her.
Looking like he was in his early twenties, yet he carried himself with an air of stability, with handso features, rare cleanliness, and neatness. She hesitated for a mont before extending her hand, "Hello, but... do you know ?"
The man pointed at the LED screen and smiled, "The announcer ntioned number 001 just now. You were so excited; wasn’t that you? Your emotions were all over your face, not hard to guess!"
"Ah!" Yu Sangwan smiled, nodding. "Yes, I lost my composure."
The man shook his head, seemingly appreciative, "Preliminary review first place, you deserved it. Let’s get acquainted! I’m Chen Ke, also here for the exam... But I barely made it, can’t compare to you."
"Don’t say that," Yu Sangwan responded modestly, "This is just the preliminary review, there’s still the written exam, the interview, how can you say such things so soon?"
Chen Ke raised an eyebrow, "Is that considered encouragent?"
Yu Sangwan smiled, "That’s not what I intended, let’s just encourage each other!"
The written test was scheduled two days later, and Yu Sangwan spent the days preparing. Due to a lack of understanding of current affairs, she cramd a lot of information.
In the evening, in the study, Little Mantou peeked in, wanting to co in but not daring to, his fluffy little head occasionally peeking through the door crack. After several attempts, Yu Sangwan finally noticed and waved at her son with a smile, "Mr. Lu, co in!"
"Mom."
Little Mantou pouted, twisting his little hips into Yu Sangwan’s embrace, looking up with a pouty little face, "Are you still mad at ?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan raised an eyebrow, "Why do you say that?"
Little Mantou, teary-eyed, mumbled, "Mom, you haven’t talked to these past few days."
"Oh!" Yu Sangwan tapped her son’s small nose, "Mr. Lu, the way you’re talking sounds like you’re the one who’s angry!"
"..." Little Mantou puffed his cheeks, "Mom, it was Mantou’s fault, I shouldn’t have argued with you. Mantou doesn’t have a dad, please don’t ignore ..."
Dad... is Yu Sangwan’s soft spot.
She took a deep breath and hugged her son, "Silly child, mom’s not mad... mom’s just been preparing for the exam! Didn’t you hear from Grandpa? Mom is applying to be a reporter at Guan Chao."
"Guan Chao?" Little Mantou’s eyes sparkled with excitent, "Is that the place where the President lives?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was taken aback, noting how growing up in a different environnt matters. When she was a child, did she ever care who the President was?
She rubbed her son’s little head, "Yes! Does Little Mantou know the President?"
"Yes!" Little Mantou nodded continuously, "Little Mantou really likes him! So, if mom gets the job, will you be working with the President?"
"Well..." Yu Sangwan laughed, "How could that be? Guan Chao is so big, mom’s just in the journalist departnt, probably won’t even have a chance to see him!"
"...Oh." Little Mantou’s eyes dimd, obviously disappointed, but he still cheered her on with a thumbs up, "Mom, you’re so aweso, you will definitely get in! Getting into Guan Chao is a big deal! You’ll be even more impressive than Grandpa!"
"Haha." Yu Sangwan laughed, nodding repeatedly, "Alright, mom will work hard, not to let Mantou down."
...
On the day the written exam results were announced, Yu Sangwan saw Chen Ke again.
The two exchanged smiles, their smiles tinged with nervousness.
The door in front was tightly closed, and the person who was supposed to announce the results hadn’t co out yet.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the front door. The tightly closed door also opened, but the person at the forefront hurriedly walked towards the front door, looking very serious, and instructed the person behind, "Quick, have the exam takers go to the side hall, the President doesn’t like crowds."
"Yes!"
In a rush, Yu Sangwan and the others were led into the side hall.
At the main door, Helian Si walked at the front, followed by a group of subordinates, Ou Guanshen close behind, flanked by burly bodyguards in black, each over two ters tall, wearing earpieces. Even at Guan Chao, they carried an ever-watchful deanor.
"Mr. President, you have arrived..."
Helian Si walked straight in with a stern face. He casually flipped through the docunts on the table, "Who’s the top scorer in here?"
"Ah?" The examiner was taken aback, hurriedly stepping forward to find an exam paper, "This is the best in the written exam, the interview hasn’t been conducted yet..."
Helian Si glanced at the top score on the exam paper, five A’s... indeed a good score.
"Where is the person?"
"In the side hall, the results have not been announced yet..."
Helian Si smirked, glanced at Ou Guanshen, "Let’s go."
"Yes, this way, please..."
In the side hall, it was very quiet, everyone was as silent as cicadas in cold weather, even breathing cautiously.
The door was pushed open, and Helian Si walked in gracefully. His eyes swept over the room with an aura of indifference and natural disdain. He glanced at Ou Guanshen, signaling him to start.
"Yes." Ou Guanshen nodded, stepped forward, and read out a na, "Yu Sangwan."
All the exam takers had already stood up, and when Yu Sangwan heard her na being called, she imdiately raised her hand and responded, "Present!"
"..." Helian Si heard a female voice and instinctively frowned. He never liked having girls around him; earlier, he was only concerned about who had the highest score, but he overlooked the na, he didn’t expect... it turned out to be a girl?
In the current situation, he could only continue.
Yu Sangwan looked up, staring in a daze at Helian Si... this was the first ti she had seen him in five years, the impression from five years ago was already very blurry.
If five years ago she still thought Helian Si resembled Lu Jinxuan, now looking at him... the sense of unfamiliarity was strong, this man, cold, mature, had the sharp edges of a politician, as if he was born to keep people at a distance.
Helian Si’s heart jumped, a strange feeling surged up.
Such a familiar girl, seed like he had seen her sowhere before?
