The college entrance examination reform will not consider background or age; as long as one is willing, one can take the exam.
Furthermore, the newspaper published a list of schools and majors available for application in each province, allowing everyone to choose freely.
This measure is a huge improvement over the previous "public recommendation and leadership approval" system.
While it is difficult to eradicate the problem of children of officials abusing their power and becoming detached from the masses in the short term, fairness, impartiality, and transparency have been achieved to the greatest extent possible!
Moreover, the "theory that studying is useless" that used to permeate the streets and alleys has gradually disappeared.
Because after graduating from university, the state would guarantee job placement, giving you a secure job that would change your destiny!
In her previous life, Guan Yuxi herself also came from a rural area and passed the exam.
She knew that the college entrance examination was the only way for children from poor families to change their fate.
Although learning conditions in rural areas are not as good as in cities, the standards for the college entrance examination are the fairest for the poorest people.
The wheels of history roll ever onward, and the steering wheel that controls the destiny of knowledge has returned to the hands of countless intellectuals. This has not only given millions of Chinese people new dreams and hopes, but has also, like a thunderclap, shattered the dark clouds that had been hanging over their heads.
Young people finally have the opportunity to receive a good education again, and the talent gap and the worship of foreign things should be much better, right?
Old Master Bai personally escorted Guan Yuxi home.
As they parted, Guan Yuxi looked at him with a complicated expression. After hesitating several times, she finally said, "I'm sorry!"
These three words carry both weight and significance.
It was so subtle that if she hadn't said anything, perhaps no one would have known.
It was so heavy that if she didn't say anything, it felt like a huge, heavy stone was pressing on her heart.
Even if you apologize, it won't change anything.
History has been written down.
Her apology and remorse will not lead to a rewriting of Bai Lao's achievements!
Old Bai chuckled, "There's absolutely no need for that!"
Over the past decade, we have studied eight people like you who use dreams as a guide.
You are the ninth, and perhaps the last.
"Thank goodness you're Old Guan's only granddaughter, otherwise..."
Old Bai patted Guan Yuxi's shoulder kindly.
Guan Yuxi shuddered instantly.
Because she understood the unspoken implications of the old saying.
If it weren't for her kind grandfather, what Old Lin said earlier would probably have been her fate!
"Are they all dead?"
"If he doesn't believe them, why does he believe me?"
Guan Yuxi asked the question she most wanted to ask.
Such a significant matter couldn't possibly be something that the old man would believe simply because she was his grandfather's granddaughter!
Old Bai sighed softly, and said meaningfully, "Perhaps it's because you have a good sense of propriety, perhaps it's because you took in that troublesome traitor, or perhaps it's because he cherishes old friendships."
He patted her on the shoulder again, "Study hard, but don't be too flashy."
The Ministry of Reform and Development has already opened up a position for you. Once you're in university, you'll be juggling both jobs.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
We wanted her to do well on the exam, but also wanted her to avoid standing out too much.
How can she guarantee that she will definitely get into the University of Washington?
***
A month later, Guan Yuxi and Leng Lie both successfully gained admission to Huada University.
After hurriedly reporting to the school, Guan Yuxi went to the Department of Reform and Development to report for duty.
Leng Lie was initially worried about her going alone.
But when the car that came to pick her up came from an old acquaintance.
"Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Yang!"
Two people, one of whom was the old man, Mr. Liu, who secretly handed over the red cloth with stars at Mr. Guan's funeral.
One of them was Old Yang, who had helped her rebuke Bai Qin.
Guan Yuxi looked at the two elderly people in surprise.
She never expected that the two of them would end up in the Ministry of Reform and Development.
"Isn't this just to cooperate with Xiaoxi's work?"
"That's right, the fact that we two old fogies can come back in such a glorious way is all thanks to you!"
Old Liu and Old Yang joked with her in a humorous way.
"Alright, Xiao Lie, don't worry. We'll personally bring back the person we came to pick up."
Leng Lie humbly thanked the two of them, "No need, I'll pick her up in a bit."
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Me, go with you?"
"No need! You should just liquidate your stuff as soon as possible."
Leng Lie chased him out.
Fang Yuan originally did not want to return to Kyoto.
However, they couldn't resist Leng Lie's coaxing and provocation.
Leng Lie told him that all his assets were dead, so why not take them out and work together to do something practical for the country and the people? Wouldn't that be better than staying in that small place, Shuanghe Commune?
Fang Yuan thought about it and realized it made sense.
Which man doesn't dream of a glorious life, admired by thousands?
Moreover, his ancestors were such illustrious figures!
Two days later, Xu Mengan and He Nan came to give Guan Yuxi wedding candy.
"you?"
Guan Yuxi looked at the two of them suspiciously.
If she wasn't mistaken, both of these people had some connection with Zhang Yuanli; it was definitely a love triangle, right?
He Nan spoke frankly, "What are you thinking!"
Mengmeng didn't like Goubuli (a famous steamed bun brand); the candy she gave out was for her and Lin Guoyun.
Guan Yuxi opened her mouth wide in surprise, "When did you two get together?"
Xu Meng'an smiled gently, "It'll only be two or three months."
Now, we want to get engaged first, and then get married after graduation.
He Nan sighed and said, "I also wanted to get engaged first, but Goubuli said he's not young anymore."
So, we plan to get married at the end of the year.
She stuffed the wedding candies into Guan Yuxi's hands, saying, "You have to give me a big red envelope, I want to buy a house in Kyoto!"
