Chapter 33 Preliminary Exam "The first place winner is Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law?"...

Wang Ying rode his bike to the Party School. There were many people taking the exam today, but far fewer than Wang Ying had imagined.

Today's exam process involved filling out an application form and taking the preliminary exam. Originally, we were supposed to register in advance, then be screened for eligibility and then be notified of the exam. However, with the deadline approaching, we had to rush through the process.

Wang Ying found the registration room at the food factory. As she walked along, she noticed the heaviest crowds were here. It couldn't be helped; resources were scarce at the time, and who wouldn't want to get more food?

Wang Ying received the registration form and sat in the classroom to fill it out. There were thirty-four people sitting in the classroom at that moment, with more coming in and out.

After submitting the application form, the exam would take about an hour. Wang Ying left the classroom and wandered around the Party School, looking to see which factories were organizing the exam.

"sister!"

Wang Ying heard a familiar voice. It was Wang Hui calling her. Wang Ying pretended not to hear and continued walking forward. Wang Hui soon caught up with her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Sister, I called you, why didn't you respond to me!" Wang Hui said.

"There were so many people around that I couldn't hear it," said Wang Ying.

"Have you registered? For the non-staple food factory?" Wang Hui asked.

"Yeah." Wang Ying said.

"I applied to a garment factory." Wang Hui said this with a proud tone, as if she had already been accepted by the garment factory.

"Oh, that's good." Wang Ying said.

Wang Hui saw Wang Ying's cold attitude and said, "Sister, why are you not happy to see me?"

Wang Ying remained silent, and Wang Hui continued, "Sister, could it be that your brother-in-law treats you badly and you're in a bad mood?"

At this time, people were coming and going around them. Some of them heard what Wang Hui said and looked towards them.

"You seem to be hoping that your brother-in-law will treat me badly, and you want to shout it for everyone to hear?" Wang Ying said with a cold face.

"No, no, I'm just concerned about you," Wang Hui said hurriedly. "So, how is my brother-in-law?"

"Whether it's good or not, it has nothing to do with you. Just live your life well," said Wang Ying.

Seeing Wang Ying like this, Wang Hui thought she was right. She thought to herself, she knew the Zhao family was not a good family! The two sisters-in-law of the Zhao family were not very good people either. The eldest sister-in-law looked down on others, and the second sister-in-law had a bad temper.

Thinking of this, Wang Hui felt that it didn't matter if she had to endure a little hardship in the Du family. After all, she would be prosperous in the future. But in the Zhao family, Zhao Yunsheng's father would be expelled in a few years, and Zhao Yunsheng had no future.

"I'm fine." Wang Hui said with a smile, "Sister, we are sisters. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me."

"I'm fine too. If you have any difficulties, just bear with them yourself, because you chose your own path." Wang Ying said bluntly.

"Sister! What are you talking about!" Wang Hui stomped her feet in anger when she heard Wang Ying say that.

Wang Ying ignored her and continued walking forward. Wang Hui looked at Wang Ying's back, but did not chase her. She snorted and walked in the opposite direction of Wang Ying.

As Wang Hui walked, she thought to herself, her elder sister must have been right. She blamed her for wanting to marry someone else, which was why she spoke so sarcastically. Wang Hui was very proud. Who told her not to be reborn? It seems that not only her parents are partial, but also God, who let her be reborn!

Wang Ying walked around the Party School but didn't see Zhao Yunfang or Zhang Xiumin. Then the loudspeaker at the Party School announced that the non-staple food factory students were preparing for the exam, so Wang Ying headed for the exam room.

When I arrived at the entrance of the examination room, I saw a big red paper pasted on the wall at the entrance. The red paper listed the examinees and seats in this classroom.

Wang Ying found his name and seat and entered the classroom. There were people outside shouting that their names were not there and that they had been rejected for some unknown reason.

There were two desks, one for each student. After Wang Ying sat down, she waited for more than ten minutes until everyone else arrived. After everyone arrived, she waited another ten minutes before the test papers were distributed.

The test paper is handwritten and printed with ink, and the questions only include true-or-false questions and essay questions, with ten true-or-false questions and five essay questions.

Wang Ying glanced at the questions. Most of the judgment questions were political questions, and two of the essay questions were political questions.

This is the characteristic of this era.

Wang Ying had only just graduated from high school, so the political science questions were no problem for her. She knew they were just for show, and the other three essay questions were the real deal.

These three questions were very general. The first was how to increase production, the second was how to improve employee efficiency, and the third was how you would specifically develop a new product if asked.

Wang Ying took out a pen from his pocket and started answering the questions. This pen belonged to Zhao Yunsheng. He insisted on giving it to Wang Ying this morning, saying that if he used his pen, he would be able to write as well as if he were inspired by God.

Wang Ying's writing is indeed like a god, but it is not because of the pen, but because of his work experience and knowledge in his previous life.

Wang Ying answered the questions smoothly, and everyone else in the exam room with her seemed to be working diligently. After she finished, she didn't rush to hand it in, not wanting to draw too much attention. She waited until the final bell rang before turning in her paper along with the others.

After leaving the exam room, Wang Ying saw someone in the next classroom, who immediately rushed out and ran away as if escaping. Wang Ying recognized her from behind. It was Zhang Xiumin. She was probably afraid of bumping into her brother, and it was unclear whether she could hide it this time.

Wang Ying went to the bicycle shed, picked up his bicycle and went home.

The test results will be posted at the entrance of the non-staple food factory tomorrow. Wang Ying can just go and check it out tomorrow.

Wang Ying returned home, heated up the leftover porridge from the morning, and made an egg pancake for lunch. After eating, she continued to knit a sweater for Zhao Yunsheng. She was delayed for half a day by Zhao Yunfang yesterday afternoon, otherwise she would have finished knitting it today.

In the afternoon, in the conference room of the non-staple food factory.

The leaders of the food factory, including Director Zhao, were gathered here. They had already received the test papers, their names covered to ensure fairness. There were also two supervisors from the Revolutionary Committee, who were responsible for supervising them.

The papers were graded by these people together, in groups of three, with one person correcting and two people reviewing. They focused on the three essay questions, especially the last one.

Director Zhao was in charge of the review. When he saw that the previous leader had given a student full marks for the last question, he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and prepared to review it carefully.

After his review, everyone couldn't help but sit up straighter. The answer was too good!

This student wrote a complete food product development process, taking into account local raw materials, regional dietary habits, market gaps, and local needs. From initial research to production and then to sales, he outlined the entire process. The process was so detailed that even a veteran employee like him could overlook some details.

It really deserves full marks! Director Zhao signed his own name after the previous leader's signature, agreeing to the result.

Director Zhao handed the test paper to the next leader, wondering if it was Yingzi's. If it was, then their family had truly produced a talented individual. While his son was obsessed with romance, his daughter-in-law was both ambitious and practical.

After the test papers were graded, the paper with full marks on the last question had been circulated among all the leaders of the non-staple food factory.

After all the test papers were corrected and graded, the names of the top ten candidates in the preliminary examination were opened by the factory director Qian Tongsheng under the witness of the Revolutionary Committee supervisor.

"Quickly take a look at the name of the first place winner!" said Deputy Factory Director Zheng Liancheng.

Qian Tongsheng glanced at the candidate's name and frowned. He had attended the wedding of Lao Zhao's son and daughter-in-law, and Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law seemed to be called this name.

"What's your name? Can't you read?" Zheng Liancheng urged.

Qian Tongsheng glanced at Director Zhao and said, "Call her Wang Ying."

"Her name is Wang Ying, she's a female comrade?" Zheng Liancheng didn't realize for a moment that this was Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law.

Qian Tongsheng didn't point it out, he just said: "It should be."

"I didn't see the handwriting as something like a lesbian, so I thought it was a gay. But lesbians are fine too, because lesbians hold up half the sky," Zheng Liancheng said with a smile.

Director Zhao was very excited at this moment. It turned out to be Yingzi's test paper. The Zhao family had married a good daughter-in-law!

Qian Tongsheng opened the test papers one by one. All the test papers of the top ten candidates were opened. Under the supervision of the supervisor, the places for the re-examination were counted.

After the supervisor left, Qian Tongsheng said to Director Zhao, "Old Zhao, you can go home today."

Director Zhao said cheerfully: "It's okay, we can wait for two more days."

"Alright, alright, don't go too far. Too much is as bad as too little!" Qian Tongsheng said unhappily, "This Wang Ying is your daughter-in-law, right?"

"I don't know either. If it's not the same name, it should be her," said Director Zhao.

Zheng Liancheng finally realized, "The first place winner is Old Zhao's daughter-in-law?"

"Maybe." Director Zhao didn't say anything definite.

"Of course! Lao Zhao, you have a good wife, she has ideas." Zheng Liancheng praised.

"You are still young and need more experience." Director Zhao said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, you look so happy, go home quickly today, no one will accuse you of being partial." Qian Tongsheng said.

"Let's wait until you pass the re-examination." Director Zhao didn't want to go back yet.

"Old Zhao, I'm telling you, too much is as bad as too little!" Qian Tongsheng pointed at Director Zhao with his ink-stained finger. "If you stay in the office tonight, I'll have the security department arrest you. I've already thought of the charge: stealing important supplies from the non-staple food factory."

Director Zhao left the meeting room amid the laughter of his colleagues.

Wang Ying was at home and finished cooking as usual. She thought Director Zhao might come back today, so she added a dish.

The dishes were ready. Wang Ying glanced at her watch. Zhao Yunsheng should be back soon. Thinking that Zhao Yunsheng always wanted to see her first thing when he came home every day, she decided to go to the courtyard gate to greet him.

As soon as Wang Ying walked out of the kitchen, Zhao Yunsheng pushed open the courtyard door and came in.

"I'm back." Wang Ying said with a smile.

When Zhao Yunsheng saw Wang Ying, he hurried over, pushing his bicycle. "How's it going? How's it going? Is the question difficult? Do you know how to solve it? Have you finished writing it?"

Wang Ying saw Zhao Yunsheng's nervous expression and said with a smile, "The question is quite difficult. Fortunately, I have your pen, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to finish it."

Zhao Yunsheng was amused when he heard Wang Ying say this: "Little Yingzi knows how to say nice things to me now. I won't take your military medal away. You earned it based on your real talent and knowledge."

"Go and park the car quickly," said Wang Ying.

Zhao Yunsheng parked the car and came to the kitchen to help. Wang Ying had already washed and cut the vegetables. Zhao Yunsheng just handed Wang Ying chopsticks, bowls, salt and other things to help her.

"Why are there three dishes today?" Zhao Yunsheng said.

"Dad might come back today." Wang Ying said.

"Oh, I had forgotten about him." Zhao Yunsheng laughed.

Director Zhao arrived home earlier than Chen Xiuqin, and looked relieved when he saw Wang Ying.

Zhao Yunsheng asked his father, "Has the test been graded? What place did our Yingzi take?"

"You'll know if you go to the factory gate tomorrow." Director Zhao refused to say anything. He was determined not to reveal anything.

But Zhao Yunsheng could tell from Director Zhao's expression that Yingzi must have done very well in the exam.
