Chapter 17, Back-to-School Make-up Examination

On the bus to Qianjiang City, Wu Xu listened to this song all the time, never stopped, and hummed the classic lyrics silently. "Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, drifting away with a cooled heart, chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish the shadow in the fog, the sky is wide and you and I will change (who is not changing). How many times have I faced cold eyes and ridicule, I have never given up the ideal in my heart, and I was in a trance for a moment, and I felt that I had lost something, and I had unconsciously diluted my love in my heart (who understands me). Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life, but I will be afraid that one day I will fall and abandon my ideals, anyone can do it, who will be afraid that one day only you and I will be together; Today, I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, drifting away with a cooled heart, chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish the shadow in the fog, the sky is wide and you and I will change (who is not changing). Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life, but I will be afraid that one day I will fall, and anyone can betray my ideals, but I will be afraid that one day only you and I will be together. Still free of yourself, always singing my song, traveling thousands of miles. Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life, but I will be afraid that one day I will fall, and anyone can betray my ideals, but I will be afraid that one day only you and I will be together. When he was about to arrive in Qianjiang, he put away his headphones and said silently. "Honey I'm gone, ideal I'm coming".

Damn..., are you really picking me up at the station?

Lu Bo: Otherwise, what? If you're not there, I'm worried that you won't be able to retake the exam. Let's go, let's go and arrange the place to eat first, and Teacher Tan will come over as soon as school is over.

Hello Mr. Tan, please be seated....

Teacher Tan: It's been a good year, I haven't seen you for a year, I'm much older, how is your work?

Lu Bo: I'm ashamed to say Mr. Tan, I didn't go out to work this year, and I couldn't take the exam anyway, so I simply read at home to prepare for the next back-to-school make-up exam and this year's public institution recruitment examination, which is a shame for you.

Wu Xu: I'm really ashamed, it's really a mistake for life, I took the national examination a long time ago, and I was the first in the written test, 23 points higher than the second place, but because I didn't have a graduation certificate, I missed the opportunity. So I've been working hard for a long time, trying to pass the exam, and get a good job after I get my graduation certificate.

Teacher Tan: Wu Xu is indeed a pity, you scored 59 points in the make-up exam last year, and you can graduate smoothly by one point, but you still die on the threshold. Maybe a year has finally passed, and now the opportunity has come, so cherish it.

Wu Xu: Teacher Tan, why don't we have a drink, as your students, we didn't study hard, first, we will apologize to you for drinking, and second, we will congratulate you on your promotion to vice president of the college.

Lu Bo: Yes, Mr. Tan, I haven't seen you for a year, please give us this opportunity.

Teacher Tan: Forget it, you don't have to break the bank, I won't drink when I drive today, and we'll get together again when you pass the exam.

Wu Xu: Okay Mr. Tan, then we will replace the wine with tea, toast you, thank you for your continued care and guidance, come..., coarse tea and light rice, Mr. Tan, don't mind, let's drink some.

... ... .

Wu Xu: Mr. Tan, just now the hotel service came to say, your car is blocking other ways, please give me the car keys, I will go down to move the car for others. After speaking, Mr. Tan took the opportunity to give Wu Xu the car key.

Wu Xu quickly walked to the underground parking lot, put two red envelopes, two boxes of fruit, and two pieces of liquor on Mr. Tan's car and returned quickly.

Lu Bo: Wu Xu, why did you go for so long, we have almost eaten, do you want to eat more?

Wu Xu: I don't eat it, I already ate it when I went down to move the car. Teacher Tan, why don't we find a place to sit and exchange feelings.

Teacher Tan: Don't sit down, I'll have something to do later.

Wu Xu: Okay, we'll send you down, your car is in the underground parking lot, just now when I came down to move the car, I saw that your car door was not locked, you will check it carefully to see if anything is missing.

Teacher Tan: Well, okay, I'll go first, you go back and study for the exam.

Goodbye Mr. Tan... Goodbye Teacher Tan..., Wu Xu and Lu Bo said in unison, and then returned to the hotel to rest.

Lu Bo: Wu Xu, do you think you are sure?

Wu Xu: To be honest, I didn't study much when I was in school, but now that I'm more than a year behind, it doesn't work for me to read and study, especially if the foundation of science is too poor, it's difficult to catch up. I'm not sure, what about you?

Lu Bo: I'm not a brother. At this moment, Wu Xu's phone suddenly rang. "If the heart is there, the dream is there, but it is just to start all over again."

Hey..., Wu Xu? I'm Teacher Tan.

Wu Xu: Hello Mr. Tan, are you home?

Teacher Tan: I'm home, you have to review well, I just sent a courseware in your mailbox, be sure to be familiar with it and memorize it.

Wu Xu: Okay, thank you, Mr. Tan. Without waiting for Wu Xu to finish speaking, Teacher Tan hung up the phone impatiently.

Wu Xu continued: Now it's a good show.

Lu Bo: What's going on?

Wu Xu: When I went down to move the car just after dinner, I put two red envelopes of 2,000 yuan, two boxes of fruit and two pieces of wine in Mr. Tan's car. I reminded him to check the car carefully, and he must have known about it, so he sent us a review material.

Lu Bo: It's really yours, open the mailbox and take a look.

In the following days, Wu Xu and Lu Bo did not go out of the door, hiding in the hotel all day long to read the review materials, and rarely even took care of eating. The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the exam. Wu Xu looked at the questions in the test paper, and the information given by Mr. Tan was inseparable, he finished the questions in three times and five divided by two, but he didn't expect it to take more than half an hour, because the time was not up, so he couldn't hand in the papers, he could only think about all this in the examination room. I thought that although this Teacher Tan was silent on the surface, he seemed to be an honest person, but he didn't expect that he had so much power that he could even get the questions for the back-to-school make-up exam, maybe this exam question was made by him. Thinking of this, he felt that he was lucky and unlucky at the same time. Fortunately, I easily got the questions and easily passed the retake. Unfortunately, he couldn't take the make-up exam last year, maybe it's not that he can't do it, but he was framed by the so-called teacher who teaches and educates, and he feels sad that he has such a teacher.

After walking out of the examination room after the exam, Wu Xu asked Lu Bo: How is it, brother, there should be no problem this time.

Lu Bo: Ten out of ten are stable, I guarantee that there is no problem, and then you can prepare to apply for our public institution in Anpu County with peace of mind, or you can also take the exam.

Wu Xu: That's fine, let me know when you sign up. Now I don't have much money in my hand, I want to rent a house in Qianjiang, find a relaxing place to work first, and take the exam while working. Otherwise, when the money in your hand runs out, you will drink the northwest wind.

Lu Bo: Okay, you can find it yourself, I have to rush back to Anpu, and the next time I come to Qianjiang, I can go to the place where you rented a house and settle down.

Good bye... Good bye....

After sending Lu Bo away, Wu Xu shuttled back and forth in Qianjiang City with his bulky luggage, and after looking at several rented houses, he finally decided to live next to the No. 3 Primary School in Qianjiang City. After a tired afternoon, he finally cleaned up and lived in his own rental house temporarily. After washing, he turned on his computer, browsed various job postings in Qianjiang on Baidu, and finally applied for a private middle school physics teacher, a private elementary school mathematics teacher, a chemical company and a cement company. In particular, cement companies have attracted special attention from Wu Xu. Because he did a good job in the water plant before, this cement factory belongs to a central enterprise, and the welfare is quite good, if you can't be admitted to the civil service or enterprises and institutions, working in this cement factory is definitely the best choice.

After submitting his resume, he lay in bed and thought about his life. When he woke up the next day, he went to the bookstore to read books for an afternoon, bought a textbook for the examination of public institutions in Qian'an Province and a textbook for the joint examination of civil servants in many provinces, and then returned to the dormitory to study hard and prepare for the exam. He was like this for a few days in a row, the bookstore and the rental house were two points and one line, and his life was simple. On this day, he received a call from the cement factory in Daqiao Town, informing him to go for an interview, so he did not hesitate to get on the bus to Daqiao Town, and came to the so-called central cement factory after stopping and walking for more than an hour.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? The interviewer asked.

Wu Xu gave a detailed introduction to his studies in high school and college, and introduced his work in Anping County Cement Co., Ltd. in detail, especially focusing on how he worked hard, combined with the operation of electrical equipment of the cement plant to declare provincial science and technology projects, and won the project of the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, giving himself the results of support. He is confident because he firmly believes that with his achievements in the cement plant, it will be easy to get a job at the state-owned cement factory.

Interviewer: What's the situation? I can't finish a junior college, and I dare to come to our company to apply, we are recruiting all the people who have a bachelor's degree or above, you go back and wait for the notice. After the interviewer finished speaking with a smile, he sent him out without looking at Wu Xu.

Damn, is it that powerful? In a big enterprise is not an enterprise, what is the great thing about you being an official in the enterprise, wait, feng shui takes turns, everyone has a supporting role, but there are also times when you are the protagonist. When Wu Xu walked out of the Daqiao Cement Factory, he scolded constantly, and angrily got on the shuttle bus back to Qianjiang City.

After returning to the dormitory, Wu Xu was expressionless, didn't read a book, and lay on the bed. "If the heart is there, the dream is there, it's just a matter of starting all over again", the bell rang, and Wu Xu answered the phone and said.

Hey..., leopard, what's going on? It always disturbs me to sleep, and the next time I call, choose a good time to call, it's really annoying.

Lu Bo: Good thing, I just checked the results on the official website of Qianjiang Demonstration College, and we have passed..., passed..., and finally got the graduation certificate.

Wu Xu: What is over, say it again?

Lu Bo: The results of the make-up examination for our return to school have come out, and we have successfully passed it, and we can go to get our graduation certificates.

"There is justice in the world, there is always a reward for paying, it is better to do it, to do the best, step by step".... Wu Xu was as happy as a child, singing the old song "Backgammon" repeatedly.
