“Hello, we were in the same carriage. Do you still have any impressions?” The boy came to Ye Ning and asked rather cautiously.
Of course she remembered the guy who wanted to help her put her luggage, but she didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence. Not only were they from the same county, but they were also in the same recruitment examination room.
“Hello.” Ye Ning put down the book, stood up and said hello to him and the two people behind him, “What a coincidence.”
The other boy nodded friendly, but the girl next to him was not very happy to see her.
“Which position are you going to take the exam for?” After asking Wang Bin, he knew he was wrong. The room was full of competitors. How could he ask this? “Sorry, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Wang Bin.” After that, Wang Bin looked at Ye Ning expectantly.
“Ye Ning.” Ye Ning glanced at them and continued to sit back in the corner and read a book.
She thought it would be just them, but she didn’t expect that more than a dozen people came one after another. These people looked different from the people in front of them. Several of them gathered around the man with glasses and the tall man to fawn over, which also confirmed Ye Ning’s opinion that those few were the children of cadres.
At 8:40 in the morning, twenty minutes before the exam time, a rather old man came over with two subordinates, a man and a woman.
“Is everyone here?”
The woman following him came out and took a book to roll call, and then said: “Director Yan, only Zhang Yunyun is not here.” Then she approached Director Yan and whispered: “She is the daughter of Team Leader Zhang.”
Ye Ning was close enough to hear the last sentence, but she just pretended that she didn’t hear anything.
“She’s late for the exam, then how can I safely hand over the work to her, mark her name off.” Director Yan was as strict as his last name. Calculating that she had not arrived at nine o’clock, it was not late at all, but that’s it. With just one word, Team Leader Zhang’s daughter was disqualified from taking the exam.
After speaking, Director Yan said some very serious words. At the end, he said a few words for the occasion, handed over the matters here to the man and woman behind him, and left first.
Wang Bin, who didn’t know when had sat next to Ye Ning, leaned close to her ear and whispered in her ear: “Director Yan is the employee of Factory Director Wu, and Team Leader Zhang is following Director Liu.” In just one sentence, Ye Ning understood why Director Yan treated team leader Zhang’s daughter so strictly.
But wasn’t this too obvious? Ye Ning was confused, and the people next to her helped her clear up her doubts.
“Director Liu rejected an important proposal from Director Wu yesterday.”
Ye Ning glanced at him sideways, knowing so clearly then this person must also be cadre in the pharmaceutical factory, but he looked different from the previous ones. Man, it’s really complicated. She just wanted to find a job. She hadn’t even entered the factory yet, but she had already seen the infighting inside. Could she really live a stable life after she got there?
“Don’t worry, they can’t get close to us.” Wang Bin originally wanted to show off his knowledge in front of the goddess, but now he was worried about scaring her.
Ye Ning nodded. No matter what, she was here. She would take the exam first, but she was no longer looking forward to entering Everbright Pharmaceuticals as much as before.
The exam lasted for two hours, and 80% of the questions came from the book Wang Yao gave her. The cadres and disciples occasionally thought about it, but they were basically able to write it down. Most of the people who came later were scratching their heads, and they were confused about many things. They hadn’t read it, so they couldn’t answer it.
Ye Ning stopped paying attention to them and concentrated on answering the questions. When it came to the final essay, she was stumped. She was actually good at writing essays, but she was really not good at red essays. In order to cope with the college entrance examination essay, she read a lot of this era. The example article finally captured some of the essence, and all kinds of praise were enough.
Finally, the exam was over. Ye Ning was really relieved and almost had tears in her eyes. It was not easy. Others only reviewed one type, but she had to review two types. She got up early and stayed late at night, not daring to rest for a moment.
“Comrade Ye Ning, it’s rare that we have such a chance to see each other again, why don’t we have lunch together at noon?” Wang Bin saw Ye Ning going out and quickly packed up his things and chased after her.
“Sorry, I have something to do at school, so I’m leaving first.” Ye Ning was not stupid. She knew at a glance that this boy was interested in her. At this stage, she didn’t want to fall in love at all. And if it was still this kind of young boy, it was tiring, and there was a little girl who had been following him who seemed to like him at first sight. Looking at her eyes now, she wanted to eat her.
Wang Bin felt very sorry for not being able to invite Ye Ning, but he sent her to the factory gate very politely and kept watching her when they walked away.
“Hey, hey, someone is gone.” Zhu Yonghui bumped into Wang Bin, “Falling in?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Wang Bin glared at Zhu Yonghui, “Don’t ruin the girl’s reputation.”
Zhu Yonghui chuckled, originally, he wanted to tease him with a few words, but when he saw Yang Wanqing coming over, he whispered: “It’s better to clarify some things early.”
Following his eyes, Wang Bin glanced at Yang Wanqing and frowned. They were neighbours and grew up together, but he always regarded her as his sister. Yonghui said to make it clear, but Wanqing hadn’t expressed her feelings, his rash talk might make him seem self-righteous, and he was also afraid of hurting her.
“What are you talking about?” Yang Wanqing came to them and asked playfully: “Are you secretly saying bad things about me?”
“No, we are discussing what to eat for lunch. The exam is finally over, we are going to have a meal.” Zhu Yonghui said with a smile.
Although they had one more book than ordinary workers’ children, they still needed to study. If their grades were unsatisfactory, it would be useless no matter how high-up their parents are. This time they really worked hard to get enough milk.
After a while, the tall man and the others also came out. When they saw Wang Bin and the others, they snorted. Ye Ning guessed right. They were all children of cadres, but they were not from the same faction.
Ye Ning had returned to school to pack her things, and she had to catch the late bus back to her hometown.
“Why are you going back? The results will be out in a few days and you will have to rush back from the countryside.” Gan Tiantian persuaded Ye Ning while holding her hand.
“For the college entrance examination this time, I haven’t been back for more than a month. I have to go home to see my brother and sister.” Ye Ning smiled and took out her hands, folding the clothes and quilt again.
Gan Tiantian pouted, “I originally wanted to invite you to my house to play, but it seems that it won’t work. By the way, how did you do in the exam this time? You disappeared after the exam. How mysterious?”
Ye Ning disappeared for more than a week and reappeared. Gan Tiantian felt that she had changed a lot, as if she was a different person. She never cried again and her behaviour changed drastically. Was it really because her father was gone that her temperament changed drastically? Or was she like this because Sun Yaojun ran away? It could also be a double blow. Gan Tiantian suddenly felt sympathy for Ye Ning.
“Something happened.” Ye Ning smiled. Only Wang Yao and a few teachers knew about her application for Everbright Pharmaceuticals. She didn’t mention it to other classmates. The main reason was that everyone was busy reviewing, otherwise Gan Tiantian would definitely find out that she was reading books that were different from them.
Wang Yao came in with a few books. Seeing Ye Ning packing her luggage, she said, “I don’t suggest you go back?”
“Huh?” Ye Ning looked at Wang Yao. The pharmaceutical factory said that the results will be announced in a week. In terms of time, it was no problem.
“Do you think one week is really one week? It is possible that they will call you for an interview in advance, maybe next Monday. If you are not there then, it will be equivalent to automatically giving up the qualification.” Wang Yao threw the book on the table and said lightly.
It was really possible. Ye Ning thought about that day that Team Leader Zhang’s daughter was disqualified from taking the exam just because she didn’t arrive early.
“What are you talking about, what interview? What qualifications?” Gan Tiantian looked back and forth between Ye Ning and Wang Yao, “Wang Yao, have you introduced Ye Ning to a job?”
After speaking, she frowned, “Xiao Ning is not going to college?”
“I’m afraid that I won’t be able to get into college, so I asked Wang Yao for help to see if anyone was recruiting for a job and gave it a try. If I can get in, it would be good to go to work first.”
Ye Ning smiled, after putting the things back to their original places, Gan Tiantian really dared to go back after hearing what Wang Yao said.
Anyway, she hadn’t been home for more than a month, so there was no need to mention these few days. If she missed the interview because she went back, she would really have no tears to cry. Except for Ye Ning and Wu Jing, everyone else in the dormitory was from the city. They packed their things and went home one after another. They were the only two left. Before Gan Tiantian left, she invited Ye Ning to stay at her house, but Ye Ning refused. While Wu Jing’s words were a bit mean and she had already offended everyone in the dormitory, so no one invited her.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Wu Jing threw the book away and hummed, “Why are you pretending when everyone is gone?”
Ye Ning glanced at her and ignored her.
Sure enough, as Wang Yao said, the results came out on Friday, and those who passed the test were notified to go for interviews on Monday. Originally, Ye Ning didn’t get the news so quickly, but Wang Yao went to the school to tell her.
“Thank you for taking a trip.” Ye Ning remembered that the relationship between the original body and Wang Yao was very ordinary. The original body was a little jealous of Wang Yao’s family background, and Wang Yao couldn’t stand the fragile look of the original body crying in the wind, helping her now may be out of sympathy. This was a rich lady with a hard mouth and a soft heart.
“Your grades are good and you are in the top ten. There will definitely be no problem in getting admitted. However, it is a bit difficult to get a good position. Don’t worry, I will say hello to my uncle and won’t let you go to a bad position.”
Wang Yao also told Ye Ning. So, Ye Ning made some preparations for the interview but she looked her up and down, “Is this all you wear?” Ye Ning looked at herself. Her family was poor, so it would be nice if she could buy herself a decent change of clothes. Like Ye Lan, she hadn’t been wearing any new clothes, and she only picked up her leftover ones. As a boy, Ye Gu didn’t have any new clothes, so she used Ye Qingshan’s clothes to alter them. It could be said that the best things in the family were given to her.
“It’s very good!” Clean and refreshing, plus the appearance of this body, youthful and beautiful.
“You wore this outfit last time for the exam. You definitely won’t be able to wear this outfit again for the interview.” Wang Yao felt that Ye Ning was recommended by her and she would be embarrassed if she failed.
“Let’s go to my house. I have a few clothes. Let’s put on some newly made clothes. We have similar body shapes, so you should be able to wear them.”
“No need.” Ye Ning thought that it wouldn’t be good to change into two sets of clothes all the time when she went to work.
“I’ll buy one set myself. What’s your taste? Okay, why don’t you help me with some advice?”
“Then let’s go.” Wang Yao nodded.
