Chapter 208 Study Hard

Although this second exam was unnecessary, Gu Zhenjun and Xia Qiaozhen both took the initiative to accept it, and Lin Xiangnan did not say anything more.

Hu Meili, on the other hand, couldn't help but nag Gu Zhenjun, "You are just young and unstable. Sun Yumei is making trouble for herself, and you just ignore her. Why do you care about her? Forget it this time, but don't do it next time."

Gu Zhenjun explained in a low voice, "It shouldn't be a big problem. I have so many more points than them."

When he was at home, he was quite self-conscious.

There is no need to talk about Lin Xiangnan's strength. He has worked his way up to the technical backbone of a military factory and his level is well known to be high.

Gu Zhenhua’s cultural level is not bad either. After all, his wife is so capable, so Gu Zhenhua dare not slack off. He reads books in his free time and takes the initiative to improve himself, for fear of being left behind.

Compared with his brother and sister-in-law, Gu Zhenjun felt like a useless person.

Who knew that he could actually rank first in this recruitment exam? Gu Zhenjun himself was quite surprised and his confidence returned all at once.

He can't compare to someone like Lin Xiangnan, but he can definitely beat people like Sun Yumei and Xia Qiaozhen.

Because he was confident, Gu Zhenjun's attitude was relatively calm. "This game will also shut Sun Yumei up and prevent her from gossiping."

Sun Yumei looked at him and snorted, still unconvinced.

For this exam, the teacher gave questions on the spot and also specially prepared more difficult questions.

After the three people finished copying the papers, they started timing and answering questions.

It was not a formal exam. The principal only prepared a few questions and gave the three people half an hour.

The time spent waiting for the results in school was boring, but Lin Xiangnan was not ready to leave. In her eyes, Gu Zhenjun was still young, and she had to stay here to support him.

Hu Meili also stayed to wait for the result. During this period, she didn't know how many times she cursed Sun Yumei in her heart. Cursing in her heart was not enough. She also planned to go back to the family compound and continue to complain to her old sisters.

When the time came and the principal collected the test papers, Hu Meili hurried over to watch the fun.

"What a ridiculous question. I don't understand it." Hu Meili pouted in disdain and tugged at Lin Xiangnan's sleeve. "If you can understand it, just tell me the result."

The teacher is marking the papers and the final scores have not been announced yet.

But Lin Xiangnan knew the answer at a glance and replied, "Gu Zhenjun first, Xia Qiaozhen second, and Sun Yumei third."

"I said Sun Yumei was a fake. She usually just brags in the staff quarters, but her level is actually not that good. Her true colors were exposed in this exam." Hu Meili mocked Sun Yumei directly in front of her.

Crushed by the two again, Sun Yumei accepted her helplessness. She bit her lip, turned around and left angrily.

Lin Xiangnan reached out his hand to stop her and asked, "Are you just leaving like this?"

If she didn't apologize and the matter spread, she would be the one affected, so Sun Yumei hesitated for two seconds, then turned around and bowed deeply to Gu Zhenjun and Xia Qiaozhen.

"I'm sorry. I was too impulsive just now. I couldn't accept my own failure, so I doubted you. There is really no problem with this exam. I apologize for my recklessness."

Sun Yumei's apology voice was particularly loud, which scared Lin Xiangnan. Lin Xiangnan didn't expect that she was so flexible.

She looked very sincere. Xia Qiaozhen was the first to say, "It doesn't matter. As long as the problem is solved, it's fine."

Gu Zhenjun also said lightly, "It doesn't matter."

Since she had already apologized, Sun Yumei also apologized to the teachers and the principal of the school, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

At this time, even if everyone was fussing in their hearts, they all appeared to be very polite on the surface.

However, by doing this, Sun Yumei has managed to restore her image a little.

After she left, Xia Qiaozhen couldn't help but speak for her: "Sister Yumei really wants to pass the exam to become a teacher. She used to be a teacher and has a special feeling for this position."

Lin Xiangnan looked at her strangely and asked, "Then why didn't you go with her just now?"

"I'm not stupid." Xia Qiaozhen said loudly: "She lied to me! I will stay away from her in the future."

Hearing her say this, even Gu Zhenjun's expression became relieved.

Without anyone to cause trouble, Gu Zhenjun and Xia Qiaozhen quickly completed the employment procedures.

After what happened just now, they were afraid of further complications.

Only at this time did Lin Xiangnan and Hu Meili leave with peace of mind.

On the way back, Hu Meili was overjoyed and smiled brightly.

"When I was at home, I heard you say that Zhenjun had a poor foundation and a weak basis. I thought he was really not good enough. Who knew he would be so hardworking."

Hu Meili said, looking at Lin Xiangnan suspiciously, "I think this may be your problem. Your standards are too high."

"Mom, you really can't find anyone to blame, so you blame me." Lin Xiangnan retorted.

"It's really your problem. Think about it, the people you usually interact with are people like Chief Engineer Zhang and Engineer Sun. They are college students. In the past, they were all top scorers. How can ordinary people compare to them?"

Hu Meili seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Gu Zhenjun is so competitive now. Your little brother must be no bad either!"

Lin Xiangnan commented: "Gu Zhenjun is indeed not much better than me."

"Then can I take the exam to become a technician in your factory?" Hu Meili asked.

Lin Xiangnan sneered, "Not at all."

"Forget it. Being a teacher is not as good as being a cook. A cook won't starve." Hu Meili's idea was very simple.

But although the chef is good, it is difficult to get a salary increase, so Hu Meili still envy Lin Xiangnan's high salary.

After returning home, Hu Meili immediately sent a letter to her hometown, urging Lin Xiangxi to study hard.

When Lin Xiangxi received the letter sent back from the family compound, he felt like crying but had no tears.

"What's going on between mom and my second sister? Why do they always ask me to read books carefully every time they write to me?"

Lin Xiangxi said aggrievedly: "I am already a paid worker. But I still need to be monitored for study. My mother never paid so much attention to my study before."

"Because mom has personally felt the benefits of learning, and she wants you to be good too, so she advises you." Lin Xiangdong explained for Hu Meili.

Hu Meili's previous social circle consisted of workers, and they didn't think studying was important.

When I arrived at the staff quarters, I saw that Lin Xiangnan had entered the technical department based on his own abilities. He took leave half of the month, but his salary was higher than that of Lin Xiangxi and others.

Not to mention the overtime pay for Sun Yi and Zhang Zonggong, who worked full time. Hu Meili's heart was moved every time she heard it.

Now because Gu Zhenjun studied hard, he got a job and doesn't have to go to the countryside.

All these benefits of studying are right in front of us. Hu Meili certainly hopes that Lin Xiangxi will study hard and get some benefits.

Hu Meili’s goal of encouraging people to study is very clear: to get a good job and to increase their salary.

Of course, Hu Meili's thinking this way is also due to Lin Xiangnan's brainwashing.

The whole family was persuading the younger brother to study, but Lin Xiangnan didn't believe it and he really dared to be lazy.
