Walking into the admissions office, Huo Qianli took a look. There were several desks in the room, but there were only these two older sisters. He could only smile and say, "Hello, I want to consult about the registration of social candidates for the college entrance examination."

The middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa cracking melon seeds patted the crumbs on her hands and was about to get up when Sister Chen beside her smiled and said, "Sister Wu, what a coincidence, it's the person I just told you about."

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then sat back down, grabbed another handful of melon seeds, and said calmly, "Why are you asking?"

Huo Qianli frowned and was about to speak when Jiang Qingyue took the initiative to say, "Hello, sister. I am a graduate of the 2004 class of Dongjiang Middle School. I want to take the college entrance examination again, so I came to consult about the registration situation."

The middle-aged woman spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said, "You don't have the basic qualities to pass the exam, so you can't sign up."

Huo Qianli said coldly: "Is this how you do things?"

"How can I do my job?" The middle-aged woman snorted. The work of the admissions office was not complicated. She was already familiar with the rules and regulations. "For social candidates to take the college entrance examination, first, they must have a clean background and no criminal record; second, they must have complete student records and personal information; third, they must meet the standards for personal quality and cultural quality. The right to review this quality is in my hands. If I say you are qualified, then you are qualified. If I say you are unqualified, then you are unqualified! Is there a problem?"

Huo Qianli laughed in anger. He thought it was just a formality, but he didn't expect to encounter such a mess. He said coldly: "The review depends on your mouth?"

At this moment, Yu Datong, who was at the end of the group, bowed and apologized to Sister Chen, who was watching the show coldly. "Sister, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous. If you have any problems, come to me. Don't embarrass them. I beg you! They have nothing to do with me!"

Sister Chen snorted and said sternly, "Don't say anything. We are following the rules. Don't frame us. There is no conflict between you and me. Don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Qingyue tugged at Huo Qianli's sleeve, signaling him to forget it for now.

Huo Qianli, however, did not indulge these two. He looked at the admissions clerk with a cold gaze and said, "Let me ask you again, are you sure that what you just said is your final answer?"

The middle-aged woman shuddered subconsciously under Huo Qianli's gaze, but then she glanced at Jiang Qingyue and Yu Datong's clothes, and pondered over what Sister Chen had just said. What kind of relationship does it have for someone who has been stuck with these things for so long? Can it still turn the world upside down?

He immediately became confident and said, "Even if you report this to the county officials, I will still say the same thing!"

"Okay!" Huo Qianli nodded and sneered, "Let's go."

After the three of them walked out of the room, Sister Chen smiled and said, "Sister Wu, thank you!"

The middle-aged woman waved her hands and said, "We are not related at all. Why should we say thank you?"

She smiled and said, "However, regarding my promotion next month..."

Sister Chen laughed, "Don't worry, leave it to me. As long as I ask, who in my room dares not listen?"

The middle-aged woman was immediately delighted. "I saw a windbreaker over there in the park last night. It's so beautiful! Let's take a look at it together tonight."

......

Walking out of the door of the Education Bureau, Huo Qianli, whose anger had subsided, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to show off in front of Yu Datong to give him some confidence, but he didn't expect to suffer a Waterloo.

These days he has been dealing with people in the Dongjiang officialdom, all of whom are at least at the level of Zheng Qiang and Wang Anquan. He did not expect that the grassroots employees have become like this.

It really is true.

Yu Datong turned around and looked at the two of them, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, I implicated you. That woman has a grudge against me. The county issued a notice before, saying that private teachers like us who haven't been regularized can be recognized for our years of service. The state may then introduce some subsidy policies. I deliberately rushed back a month in advance just to take care of this matter."

Then he talked about how he had run into obstacles several times and how he had quarreled with Sister Chen.

After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's not just about doing things. Sometimes we have good ideas, but the reality is often not as we wish. Go back, we'll get together again when we have time."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards one end of the street, smiling bitterly in his heart: Yu Datong, Yu Datong, you are desperate and trying all kinds of methods. Two young men have moved you with just a few words. How can you believe such words!

"Teacher Yu!"

Huo Qianli rushed out in a few steps, stopped in front of Yu Datong, and looked at him seriously, "Don't leave yet, give me a day, and I will give you an answer."

Yu Datong wanted to say something, but Huo Qianli said directly: "Also give you a choice for your own life. Just one day."

Yu Datong was silent for a moment and nodded.

Huo Qianli took out his cell phone and called Guo Haoran, "Senior, I'm here to bother you again."

......

After getting off work in the afternoon, Huo Qianli, Jiang Qingyue and Yu Datong waited for Guo Haoran together at a small food stall-style restaurant by the Dongjiang River.

It’s not that Huo Qianli is stingy, but this is the place designated by Guo Haoran.

In Huo Qianli's opinion, the reason for choosing such a place was, firstly, that Guo Haoran was familiar with him or liked him, and secondly, there was no need to hide his relationship with him, so it would be better to be open and aboveboard.

When he saw Yu Datong, Guo Haoran shook hands and greeted him cordially, because Huo Qianli had already told him about it on the phone.

But Yu Datong couldn't hold it in any longer. Deputy secretary of the county party committee? He was coming here to have dinner with them?
