The two went out quickly.
The two men were surrounded after they went out, but they did not say a word, just as Liu Wangchun had instructed.
Unable to get anything out of the two men, the others became even more anxious.
About half an hour later, Xia Anyan and Liu Wangchun finally came out.
The two people are holding the list of those who were just selected this time.
"Now, everyone stand to my right. When I call your name, stand to my left." Liu Wangchun glanced at the people waiting below and gestured for them to stand properly.
At this moment, everyone obediently stood to her right, and no one dared to disobey.
These two have such a strong presence; just standing there makes people feel pressured.
Xia Anyan flipped through the form in her hand and started reading out the names from the first one.
The two people who were initially kept by Liu Wangchun were the first to be selected.
You can imagine the expressions on those people's faces when they saw that these two people with no background had been chosen.
But as more and more names appeared in Xia Anyan's name, and none of them were her own, those people began to panic.
After all the readings were finished, only a dozen or so people were selected from dozens of people.
"Alright, now all the selected candidates are standing on the left. Everyone else can leave if there's nothing else."
Xia Anyan's words completely devastated those people. They came here to participate, not to say they were absolutely certain of success, but they certainly didn't expect it to turn out this badly.
Who would have thought that out of so many participants, only a dozen or so would be selected?
Some of them were dissatisfied.
Liu Wangchun pointed to the bulletin board: "I will put the selected answer sheets on the bulletin board over there later. Anyone who is not satisfied can go and check it out themselves."
"Of course, if you also want your answers posted, you can come here to find me. I will try my best to meet all your requests, so that you know your shortcomings and can then correct them."
"Although my Ministry of Foreign Affairs is newly established, many things in the future are linked to the provincial capital, and even to Beijing. I hope you can take it seriously, instead of using it as a stepping stone for your advancement."
“I don’t care about your family members or your parents’ status or position, but if you want to work in my Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you have to listen to me. I said I’ll use the answer sheet to decide whether you can stay, and that’s the method. There will be no change.”
"Go back and hone your skills, study hard, and maybe you'll have another chance in a while."
Liu Wangchun also gave them a reason to work hard: as long as these people want to work hard and succeed, then they should study hard and they will eventually succeed.
But if they have ulterior motives, then all I can say is, I'm sorry.
Those who stayed behind were naturally very happy. After following Liu Wangchun and Xia Anyan around the area for a while and figuring out what they needed to do each day, they went back.
As for Liu Wangchun and Xia Anyan, they didn't stay long either.
After finishing their business, they went home.
I told my family about the arrangements here, and the next day I planned to get back to work.
Xia Anyan quite likes her job here.
Since starting work, she has been very clear-headed and diligent every day, even studying hard, and trying her best to do her best in everything she does.
Because of her linguistic talent and fluency in foreign languages, Liu Wangchun assigned her many important tasks.
In just three months, Xia Anyan had figured out everything about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If she hadn't been unwilling to climb the ranks, she probably would have already obtained a position there, instead of having to be Liu Wangchun's assistant all this time.
As Xia An was about to leave work that day, she planned to go home to her family compound.
I have a day off tomorrow. My sister-in-law came to the county town to buy some things. I left a message at her house saying that her two children missed her and asked her to come back and have a meal together.
Xia Anyan certainly wouldn't refuse, so she's going back today.
Liu Wangchun had lost her appetite these past two days. She heard that Xia Anyan was going back to eat Sun Xiuzhi's home-cooked meals, and for some reason, she was also tempted.
"Ayan, can you take me back with you?"
"It's probably because of the cold weather these past few days, I haven't had much of an appetite, so I'm craving something different."
Xia Anyan covered her mouth and smiled when she heard Liu Wangchun say that.
"Stepmother, if you say that, my dad will be heartbroken."
Liu Wangchun glared at her: "You're one to talk! Your dad has been feeding me so much lately that I've gained a lot of weight. People who know me know I'm newly married and very happy, but people who don't probably think I'm just heartbroken and have been overeating."
"How could that be? Everyone can see you're always smiling and very happy. If anyone is so blind as to say you're heartbroken over that jerk, they're truly blind."
The two chatted as they walked outside.
Zhang Junan was waiting for them outside on a bicycle.
"Dad, what brings you here today?"
Xia Anyan and Liu Wangchun usually ride their bicycles here by themselves; it's just right for the two of them to ride one bicycle.
Although Zhang Junan also works in the logistics department here, he rarely spends time with them.
Zhang Junan waved a fish in his hand: "The supply and marketing cooperative received a new batch of sea fish today. They were just caught and the price was quite cheap, so I bought one. I plan to steam it tonight when I get home."
"I saw that you were about to get off work, so I thought I'd wait here."
When Xia Anyan and Liu Wangchun approached, Liu Wangchun's expression changed, and he covered his nose and backed away.
Unable to hold it in any longer, he ran to the nearby bushes and vomited.
Zhang Junan and Xia Anyan were terrified and rushed over to check on the situation.
"Ah Chun, how are you?"
"Sister Liu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Both of them were terrified.
But as someone who's been through it all, Liu Wangchun felt that the situation seemed...
"Jun'an, Ayan, I...I might be pregnant." Liu Wangchun wasn't quite sure if it was true.
But she looked like this when she was pregnant with Junjun.
Without saying a word, Zhang Junan helped the person onto his bicycle and was about to take them to the health center.
But he didn't forget Xia Anyan: "Ayan, take the fish back with you, and tell your grandfather that we'll be back soon."
Because I was riding too fast, the bike wobbled a couple of times.
Xia Anyan watched from behind, her heart pounding in her chest.
She only started riding her bicycle home when she could no longer see Zhang Jun'an and his car.
Throughout the journey, her mind was somewhat unsettled.
I was both happy and somewhat disappointed.
