In the examination room.
Zhu Qingchen and Gu Yan stood on the inspection car and checked all the cubicles in the examination room.
The students behaved differently, but not many of them were mentally normal.
When Zhu Qingchen took the car back, Shi Ran was no longer rolling on the ground.
Perhaps he remembered how he solved the problem yesterday, so he picked up a pen and wrote quickly on the table.
Zhu Qingchen smiled and looked away.
After getting off the inspection car, the accompanying officials were still waiting on the ground. They surrounded the marshal and went to the underground inspection room.
The three underground floors are all examination monitoring rooms.
There are electronic eyes in each cubicle that simulate Zerg tentacles and provide comprehensive monitoring. As long as the examinee behaves abnormally, the electronic eyes will immediately sound an alarm.
In addition, surveillance footage from examination rooms on other planets will also be transmitted back to the capital center in real time.
Of course, electronic eyes are still no match for human eyes, and they require constant supervision by staff.
Like an examination room on the ground, the supervision room is divided into small compartments, and thousands of staff members sit in the compartments to handle abnormal situations.
Zhu Qingchen stood outside the cubicle and took one look before he had an idea in his mind.
It will be easy if we have surveillance. If we want to argue in the future, we can directly bring up the surveillance.
Zhu Qingchen turned to look at Gu Yan. Before he could say anything, Gu Yan understood and said, "I know."
He turned around and said to the person in charge who was following him, "All the examination room surveillance should be saved. Give me a copy after the exam. I want to see if there are any good candidates among this year's candidates."
"yes."
Zhu Qingchen smiled and whispered, "Thank you, Marshal."
Gu Yan couldn't help laughing, but he was too embarrassed to laugh in front of Zhu Qingchen. He turned his head away and curled the corners of his lips.
After checking the ground examination room and the underground monitoring room, Gu Yan and Zhu Qingchen had no plans to leave.
Gu Yan brought Zhu Qingchen to the Marshal's private office, held a brief meeting with several responsible persons and officials, emphasized the examination style and discipline and fairness, and then let them go back to work.
The group finally dispersed and went back to work.
Zhu Qingchen and Gu Yan were the only two people left in the meeting room.
Zhu Qingchen sat in front of the mahogany desk, holding his face, and watched the surveillance on the big screen in the marshal's office carefully.
The surveillance occurs randomly. Including other places, there are tens of millions of candidates taking the exam this time.
Zhu Qingchen had never seen Shi Ran once, but he still watched it with great interest.
He was happy to see his students writing furiously.
Gu Yan sat beside him, folded his arms, and leaned back in his chair.
Zhu Qingchen was watching the surveillance video, and he was watching Zhu Qingchen.
I don’t know what’s so good about it, and I don’t know who it is, but Zhu Qingqing is looking at it so seriously.
Gu Yan looked at Zhu Qingchen's back, and suddenly, he seemed to see something and his eyes fixed.
What is this?
Why is there a ribbon on Zhu Qingqing's clothes? When was it attached? Would anyone see it?
That's too embarrassing, I'd better help him tear it off secretly.
I’m so sweet!
Gu Yan looked around and confirmed that there was no one in the meeting room, so he reached out to the belt of Zhu Qingchen's clothes dangling behind him and tugged at it as if nothing had happened.
After pulling it once without any movement, Gu Yan pulled it again with more force.
This time, the belt was not pulled off, but Zhu Qingchen was pulled by him and fell backwards.
Zhu Qingchen opened his eyes wide and met Gu Yan's gaze in disbelief: "What are you doing?"
Gu Yan weakly raised the ribbon in his hand: "There is a thread, I want to help you pull it off."
Zhu Qingchen took a deep breath, pulled the belt back, and hit his chest with all his strength: "What thread? This is my collar!"
Zhu Qingchen was wearing a white shirt today. The collar was a bit big and it had a tie at the back.
"This is the most popular way of dressing in the Empire! The trend!"
"Popular?" Gu Yan didn't understand. "It's like a little tail. It gets frizzy when you pull it."
"Go away, you're really annoying!"
Gu Yan silently moved to the side a little, just a little.
He didn't do it on purpose, so how would he know what the trend was?
He just wanted to help Zhu Qingqing remove the thread.
Besides, if it weren’t for him, Zhu Qingqing wouldn’t be able to come here.
Yes, if he hadn’t brought Zhu Qingqing here, how could he have seen the tail behind Zhu Qingqing?
If he didn't see the tail behind Zhu Qingqing, how could Zhu Qingqing have the chance to get angry with him?
Thinking of this, Gu Yan became tough again, straightened his back, and said to Zhu Qingchen seriously: "I won't leave."
"..." Zhu Qingchen moved to the side, "Then I'll go." Gu Yan reminded him, "Teacher Zhu still owes me three dates."
"I see." Zhu Qingchen thought for a moment, "Let's have lunch together and dinner together, and then have a midnight snack."
Gu Yan:?
"Teacher Zhu, is this how you deal with me?"
"Yes." Zhu Qingchen said confidently, "Three dates, lunch, dinner and midnight snack, not less than one. If the Marshal is short of money, I can pay for it."
Gu Yan frowned, silently took out his communicator, and booked a seat in the luxurious sky restaurant.
The two men sat at the conference table. Zhu Qingchen watched the surveillance camera attentively, while Gu Yan asked someone to send over the unimportant documents so that he could review them here.
The two men made up their minds to stay in the examination room for the entire day and they were determined not to change their minds.
*
On the other hand, Shen Xiuping, who was waiting outside, was not feeling so good.
He originally thought that Shi Ran would not be able to answer the question at all and would have to answer it in less than five minutes.
Therefore, he only took one morning off and waited in the lounge outside with a few familiar colleagues.
But……
Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, an hour passed, two hours passed...
Candidates came out one after another, but Shi Ran was nowhere to be seen.
He was becoming increasingly restless.
He couldn't help but think about Shi Ran's performance recently.
Could it be possible that Shi Ran could really answer the questions?
That's impossible. Shi Ran has been either learning flower arrangement from Zhu Qingchen or staying at home these days. He hasn't gone anywhere.
His mecha books were also taken away by Zhu Qingchen. How could he have the conditions and time to review?
Even if he really read two more books and managed to get through the easier questions at the beginning, how could he not be eliminated when the candidates behind him were competing against each other in simulations?
That’s five simulated wars in total, and if you lose once, you’ll be eliminated.
Shi Ran is just a Beta, how could he have such mental support to take the exam normally?
How could he possibly outperform those Alphas who were well prepared?
Maybe he fell asleep in there, or maybe he didn't want to lose face, so he stuck his neck out and refused to come out.
Shen Xiuping was thinking wildly, wondering why Shi Ran hadn't come out yet, and at the same time comforting himself that Shi Ran couldn't be that powerful.
He had an extraordinary desire to control Shi Ran. As long as Shi Ran was out of his sight, as long as he didn't know what Shi Ran was doing, he couldn't help but feel a burning anger in his heart, almost wanting to burn everything to ashes.
I don’t know how long it took, but Shen Xiuping finally couldn’t sit still anymore.
He stood up from his seat suddenly, startling his colleagues.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Xiuping adjusted his expression and smiled gently at them, “Xiao Ran hasn’t come out yet, I’ll go to the supervision room to check.”
Colleagues smiled and said, "Maybe your brother can really do the test. No need to go and see. Just wait and see."
Shen Xiuping remained calm: "How can he do the test? I'm afraid he fell asleep in the exam room. I'll go check it out and come back right away."
"Okay, go ahead."
As soon as he said this, several colleagues started talking about how troublesome and naughty Shi Ran was, mostly what Shen Xiuping had said to them before.
Shen Xiuping walked out of the lounge, walked into the examination room, and went directly to find the person in charge of the examination room.
The person in charge of the examination room was surprisingly tactful. He invited him directly into the internal lounge and showed him the surveillance footage in the Shiran compartment.
Seeing Shi Ran lying on the table, scratching his head, Shen Xiuping breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just good luck. I think Shi Ran will come out soon.
It didn't surprise him.
Zhu Qingchen stood at the high window of the marshal's office with his hands behind his back, watching Shen Xiuping going in and out of the inner office, thinking.
Shen Xiuping is indeed popular.
He is a talented young man, gentle, polite and has an excellent family background. No matter where he goes, everyone has to give him some face.
Even in such an extremely serious occasion as the unified examination, and even though Gu Yan had just emphasized the examination style and discipline, the official in charge of this matter actually invited Shen Xiuping, the candidate's family member, into the internal lounge to watch the surveillance.
Just do whatever you want.
Even in ancient times, there was no such excessive thing in the imperial examination.
No wonder in the original book, Shen Xiuping could secretly hide Shi Ran’s transcript and even unite everyone to act out a “destroying the mecha in the exam room” scene in front of Shi Ran.
A general, who is not leading troops in a war, can come and go in the examination room as he pleases and even ignores the examination rules.
By noon, Shi Ran still hadn't come out of the examination room.
This means that Shi Ran has passed the written test in the morning.
Colleagues congratulated Shen Xiuping, but Shen Xiuping just couldn't be happy.
He had a vague premonition in his heart. Maybe it would really burn...
No, impossible!
Shen Xiuping really couldn't sit still, so he went to the internal lounge to watch the surveillance again.
At this time, Shi Ran was eating the lunch provided by the examination room——
A large energy bar and a can of nutritional supplements.
The morning exam was too strenuous, so he was eating lunch in big mouthfuls to replenish his energy for the afternoon exam without caring about his image.
The person in charge smiled and said, “Don’t worry, General Shen. I think Master Shi has a chance.”
How could he know that Shen Xiuping didn't want Shi Ran to have any drama at all.
He clenched his fists and said nothing, and could only hope for the mecha practical training in the afternoon.
Shi Ran has never touched a mecha before, so he definitely can't pass it.
Seeing his livid face, the person in charge thought he was just worried about his brother, and said, “If General Shen is worried about his brother, he should stay in the lounge for a while. It’s troublesome to walk around.”
This was naturally in line with Shen Xiuping's idea. He would feel more at ease if he stayed here to keep an eye on Shi Ran.
But before he could open his mouth, the communicator on the person in charge rang.
It was another person in charge who called him, and the other party sounded serious as soon as he spoke.
"Old Wang, what are you crazy about today? The marshal is still here. I just emphasized the exam style and discipline this morning. No one who has nothing to do with the exam is allowed to enter the exam room. Shen Xiuping has come and gone several times. Do you think the marshal is blind? Send him out quickly!"
The person in charge then reacted.
He was so focused on pleasing the Shen family and Shen Xiuping that he completely forgot about this.
He cut off the communication and quickly said to Shen Xiuping: "General Shen, I'm sorry, you should go to the lounge outside..."
Chen Xiuping asked: "Can't you be flexible?"
He was really worried that Shi Ran would perform beyond his normal level, and his strong desire for control made him want to keep an eye on Shi Ran all the time.
The person in charge said in embarrassment: "There is really no other way. The marshal is here today. I brought Admiral Shen into the inner lounge and only stared at one candidate. It is indeed against the rules."
"It's okay, thank you." Shen Xiuping turned and left.
The person in charge sent him away with a smile.
By the floor-to-ceiling window of the Marshal's office, Zhu Qingchen folded his hands and looked at the scene below.
Yes, he asked Gu Yan to make the phone call just now to his subordinates, who then asked the subordinates to call the person in charge.
Shen Xiuping must not be allowed to see Shi Ran skillfully operating the mecha, lest he become suspicious.
Most importantly, he was fed up with the sight of Shen Xiuping coming and going.
All morning, Shen Xiuping went in and out, came to look several times, and had no scruples at all.
His desire to control Shi Ran overrides everything.
Authority, rules, and exam fairness were all outside his consideration.
What's even more outrageous is that there were people who cooperated with him from beginning to end, either by bringing him in or pretending not to see him and giving him the green light.
If they were not here today, I am afraid that Shen Xiuping could observe the entire Shi Ran exam.
It is possible that when he finds something wrong, he will directly change Shi Ran's results.
Zhu Qingchen frowned and said, "Marshal, your empire is leaking like a sieve."
Gu Yan walked up to him and said sternly, "This is not my empire. This empire is about to be overthrown."
Gu Yan quietly reached out his hand and tugged at Zhu Qingchen's belt, like ringing a bell, and even dubbed it for him: "Ding Dong-Ding Dong-"
*
After Gu Yan spoke, Shen Xiuping finally settled down and waited in the lounge outside.
I waited until the evening when the exam was over.
There are not many candidates who can persevere to the end of the exam, and Shi Ran is one of them.
Shen Xiuping's face became more and more ugly, and his colleagues just thought he was unhappy and comforted him.
“I didn’t know before that General Shen’s brother is so powerful.”
"That's right, don't set your standards too high. If you can pass the entire test, you're already very impressive."
But they didn't notice that the more they comforted Shen Xiuping, the uglier Shen Xiuping's expression became.
Unlike the crowded scene in the morning, there were obviously fewer candidates coming out in the evening.
Shi Ran walked out of the small cubicle with heavy steps.
After taking exams all day, he was almost dead tired.
At first, he was still thinking that he must do well in the exam and get admitted to the military academy. But later on, he was so tired that he just wanted to finish the exam quickly and didn't think about anything else.
Just at this time, Zhu Qingchen and Gu Yan also came out of the office.
The elevator door opened and several officers and soldiers followed them.
When Shi Ran saw them, he quickly perked up and was about to step forward, but then he remembered that there were too many people around and it was not a good idea to rush forward.
So he just stood in the crowd and made a small gesture to Teacher Zhu to reassure him that he would perform normally.
Zhu Qingchen also smiled at him and waved at him.
Afterwards, Shi Ran’s former classmates came up to him and asked, “Shi Ran, how did you do on the exam?”
Shi Ran smiled and said, "Not bad, I answered all the questions I could."
"Shall we go out for dinner tonight?"
As soon as his classmate finished saying this, he suddenly remembered that Shi Ran had a very strict brother at home, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Shi Ran said: "It's okay, we'll have dinner together after the results come out."
"Well, there will be plenty of opportunities to eat together in the future."
Shi Ran and several classmates walked through the long corridor to take away their deposited items. When they were about to reach the entrance of the examination room, they saw Shen Xiuping and quickly adjusted their expressions, making a sad face.
No matter what, he had reviewed and did well in the exam, so he might as well hide it for as long as possible.
It's never a bad thing.
Shen Xiuping was standing at the end of the corridor waiting for him.
Seeing him coming out, several of Shen Xiuping’s colleagues smiled and asked, “Master Shi, did you do well in the exam this time?”
"Any chance of attending military school?"
This was also the question Shen Xiuping wanted to ask, so he glanced at Shi Ran and listened carefully to what he said.
Shi Ran wiped his eyes and said, "I don't even know what the test is about. I've never touched a mecha before. I'm afraid I'm going to fail."
"How could it be?" Everyone was puzzled. "No matter what, you persisted to the end. Besides, your brother is an admiral. How could it be possible that he has never touched a mecha?"
Shi Ran said: "But I have never touched a mecha. My brother never lets me touch a mecha. He says I am a Beta. At home..."
Shen Xiuping originally wanted to test Shi Ran's background, but he didn't expect Shi Ran to change the subject and expose his past.
Shen Xiuping quickly grabbed him and interrupted him: “Let’s go.”
But the colleagues refused, and all wanted to find out about their family affairs: "Your brother doesn't allow you to touch the mecha? What's the reason? He is an admiral himself, and he won't let you touch it?"
Shi Ran nodded: "Yes..."
Shen Xiuping said to several colleagues: "The exam is too energy-consuming, Xiao Ran's face is pale, I will take him back to rest first."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was a little anxious and was interrupting on purpose.
But they couldn't interrupt, so they could only smile, nod, and let them go.
When Shen Xiuping took Shi Ran away, Gu Yan and Zhu Qingchen were being interviewed by reporters outside the examination room.
Gu Yan was wearing a military uniform, looking serious and solemn: "The unified examination is an important way for the empire to select talents. Young talents are an important cornerstone for the future confrontation with the Zerg."
"The exam has been successfully completed, and the subsequent scoring work will proceed smoothly to ensure that every candidate is treated fairly. Please rest assured."
Zhu Qingchen stood with him and took the opportunity to look back at Shi Ran.
Shi Ran secretly waved at the teacher and didn't dare to make any other moves.
Suddenly, the reporter asked, "Excuse me, Marshal, are you and Mr. Zhu getting married soon?"
Zhu Qingchen was still looking back, and Gu Yan pulled his belt and asked him to turn his head back.
Zhu Qingchen turned back in a daze: "Ah? What?"
Gu Yan said: "Mr. Zhu hasn't agreed to my request yet, but I have already got the chance to have dinner with Mr. Zhu tonight."
The reporter smiled and said, "It looks like we have to end our interview early today."
As expected, they still prefer to read the scandal between the Imperial Marshal and the Imperial Rose.
*
After the exam, Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
His tense nerves finally relaxed.
Shen Xiuping hinted at things and the housekeeper made sarcastic remarks, but he pretended not to hear them.
He has already finished the exam, what else is there to care about?
The only thing he cares about now is the test results.
Generally speaking, the test results will be announced within half a month after the end of the test.
Candidates can check their scores on StarNet, and the Institute of Education will also send a paper transcript to each student.
Even students who fail in the mock battle will still get grades.
While Shi Ran was anxiously waiting for the results to be announced, he was also learning flower arrangement from his teacher to improve his character.
After repairing it for half a month, I became even more anxious.
That afternoon, Shi Ran finished his lunch with his teacher, saw his teacher off, and went back to his room to rest.
He fell on the bed and was about to go to sleep when suddenly, his communicator made a rapid sound.
Shi Ran jumped up from the bed, picked it up and took a look.
They were all messages sent to him by his classmates.
[Shi Ran, go to the official website to check your results]
[Shi Ran, the results can be checked now! ]
【Time is burning, hurry up! 】
Shi Ran's hands were shaking and he almost dropped the communicator. He exited the chat page with his friends and logged into the webpage that he had logged into countless times.
In the interstellar age, technology is infinitely advanced.
However, it is still difficult for a web page to withstand simultaneous queries from tens of millions of people.
Shi Ran pressed his fingerprint on the communicator, and the web page kept jumping.
Shi Ran just felt that his breathing slowed down.
After an unknown amount of time, the page finally responded.
Shi Ran opened his eyes wide in disbelief, a feeling of ecstasy overwhelming his mind.
third!
He actually ranked third in the entire capital!
Shi Ran squatted on the ground, his eyes rolling around, and he read his information and ranking several times.
He immediately sent a message to his teacher: [Teacher! Third! I got third place in the whole capital!]
After sending the message, he suddenly remembered what his teacher had told him before, that no matter what the result was, he had to save it quickly.
So Shi Ran quickly started searching again, preparing to take a screenshot, or even better, record a video.
The webpage started scrolling again. Shi Ran was certainly not as anxious as before. He sat back on the bed and waited slowly for the search results.
But this time...
Shi Ran widened his eyes again, staring at the three bright red words "No Results" on the page.
No results?
impossible!
How could he have no results?
As long as you take the exam, whether you fail halfway or persevere to the end, you will get results!
How could he have no results?!
Something must have gone wrong.
Shi Ran immediately logged out of the webpage, changed the login method, and checked the account and password he used to register for the exam.
Another round of anxious waiting.
The result is still the same -
【No results】
Shi Ran checked five or six times in a row, and the result was the same every time.
He rushed out of the room and down the stairs, not caring that he almost fell.
"Butler! Butler! Where is the transcript from the Education Institute? The transcript must have been delivered!"
Web pages may contain errors, but paper transcripts issued directly by the Institute of Education will never be wrong.
But the housekeeper didn't seem to be in the house.
Shi Ran called out "Butler" while opening the door and preparing to go to the mailbox himself.
But as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Shen Xiuping.
Shouldn't he be at work now? Why is he back?
Shi Ran was too lazy to pay attention to him. He walked around him and went out to look through the mailbox.
But at this moment, Shen Xiuping grabbed his arm.
"Xiao Ran." Shen Xiuping took out a ticket, "You broke the mecha during the exam, so the Education Institute did not give you a grade and also gave you a compensation ticket."
