"President Shen, did you really sell the shares?" Cai Chun returned to Europe after only three days in China, and she couldn't believe it when she received the news.
"Yes, the public relations department should issue an announcement in a couple of days."
"Why, President Shen? What am I going to do without you? I've been by your side since I first joined the company. Without you, I..." Cai Chun felt like the sky was falling. What future did she have?
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "The company recognizes your work ability. If you are willing, you can continue to stay in Europe. You are more familiar with the business there, and whoever goes there to take over will need your assistance."
If you want to return to China, I can help you with the arrangements. Although I am no longer a shareholder of the Shen Group, President Su will still give me this much face.
Think it over, and contact me when you've made up your mind.
After saying that, Shen Yanming hung up the phone.
"Qiao An, come and take a look. Is there anything wrong with what you wrote?" After registering for the civil service exam himself, Shen Yanming casually filled out the information for Bi Qiao An.
"I haven't decided where to apply yet," Bi Qiaoan muttered as she entered the study. As soon as she reached the computer, Shen Yanming pulled her onto his lap.
"Any unit will do, we just need to secure this identity. Luckily, we were reborn early enough, this exam can be said to be the last chance to change our fate."
I suggest you apply to the Human Resources Bureau. In the post-apocalyptic world, both population and resources are crucial. The work might be a bit tiring, but it's a good organization even then.
"Okay, let's go with this one. How many people do we need?"
"Two, one legal, one accounting."
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan shrugged and said, "Sigh, the pressure is immense."
Shen Yanming smiled and intertwined his fingers with Bi Qiaoan's. "Don't worry, just do your best. I'll help you. Even if you fail in the end, I'll still be there for you."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and leaned against Shen Yanming. "Where did you apply?"
"The Administration is hiring four people. I checked the addresses; both offices are only about half an hour's drive from home. I'll drop you off on my way to work every morning, and you can wait for me on my way home after get off work."
Bi Qiaoan chuckled after hearing this, thinking it sounded pretty good.
Bi Qiaoan checked the information again, found no mistakes, uploaded the photo, and clicked submit.
"Now I can focus on my studies. There are only twenty-odd days left." Bi Qiaoan was still under a lot of pressure. Shen Yanming was a true academic genius. He could learn anything he studied, and he had a good memory and was good at summarizing.
Compared to Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan was a complete academic failure.
For the next three weeks, Bi Qiaoan did not return to the dormitory, but stayed at home to endure mental abuse and strict physical control from Shen Yanming.
I'm woken up before 6 a.m. every morning to memorize common sense, listen to the news, and read editorials. I eat breakfast at 8 a.m., and then it's time to do practice questions.
After lunch, it was Shen Yanming's teaching time. Shen Yanming summarized many knowledge points and test-taking skills. Bi Qiaoan was much worse in this regard, but she made great progress with Shen Yanming's help.
After dinner, Shen Yanming would give Bi Qiaoan a set of questions to test her learning progress for the day. If she passed, she could have free time after 9:30, such as watching TV or listening to music. If she failed, then sorry, she wouldn't be able to sleep before midnight and would have to go do more practice questions.
Bi Qiaoan felt that these three weeks had been even more difficult than her senior year of high school. Whenever she wanted to give up, she would think of how, in her previous life, when she was struggling to survive, those people were still able to maintain basic dignity, and that gave her the motivation to persevere.
Finally, Bi Qiaoan made it to the day of the exam.
Shen Yanming had prepared everything for Bi Qiaoan in advance: ballpoint pens, pencils, a knife, an eraser, a ruler, her ID card and exam admission ticket were all there, and handkerchiefs, tissues, and coffee were also prepared.
"Don't be nervous during the exam. Just use the methods you practice. If you don't know the answer, just move on and don't dwell on it. Even if you don't pass in the end, it's okay. Your husband can support you." After putting Bi Qiaoan down at the entrance of the examination room, Shen Yanming was still a little worried and kept nagging.
"Yeah, I know. I'll just take the test casually. Don't worry, at worst I'll just go home and be a couch potato. Time's almost up, you should hurry to the test center." Bi Qiaoan wasn't actually that nervous. Although she had been under a lot of pressure during the preparation period, now that the day had come, she would just do her best and leave the rest to fate.
"Okay, I'll be going now. Wait for me here at noon." Shen Yanming raised his hand to check the time; it was indeed getting late.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took the test at different test centers, but fortunately the two test centers were not far apart, only a 10-minute walk away.
Two hours passed quickly. Under Shen Yanming's high-pressure instruction, Bi Qiaoan worked very fast, finishing all the questions she knew before the exam was over, and choosing the most likely option for the ones she didn't know.
Shen Yanming can be considered a true academic genius. There isn't a single test paper he doesn't know how to answer. Although he can't guarantee that he gets them all right, he should still be able to achieve a 90% accuracy rate.
The bell rang, and Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming calmly handed in their papers, while most of the other students in the same examination room were in a hurry, and many did not finish.
At noon, the two found a hotel nearby and booked a room. After lunch, they rested for a while before setting off again.
The afternoon session consisted of subjective questions, which Bi Qiaoan found slightly difficult. However, she still managed to fill the answer sheet with her own understanding and Shen Yanming's guidance, and her hand was sore before she handed in the paper.
Shen Yanming's situation was still going smoothly. Having worked for many years and seen a lot, he could figure out the answers to many things with just a little thought and summarization.
After handing in their papers, the two didn't linger and quickly drove home.
Bi Qiaoan buried herself in the blankets and said, "It's finally over. If you mistreat me again, I'm running away from home!"
Shen Yanming sat on the edge of the bed, smiling as he stroked Bi Qiaoan's long hair. "No, if you ever want to run away from home, just tell me, and I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Bi Qiaoan said, "Hehe, good, saves me from being bored by myself."
The two were chatting and joking around, discussing where to have a meal that evening, when Bi Qiaoan's phone rang.
"Qiao An, the exams are finally over. When are you coming back?" Miss Wen Nuan hadn't called her since Qiao An said she was going home to study.
"Hehe, wait for me in the dorm in a couple of days, I'll bring you some delicious food."
"Qiao An, are you done? I feel like it's so hard. There are so many things I don't know how to do. I feel like I'm doomed." Jiang Shanshan's loud voice came through the microphone.
"Is this an amplifier, Miss Warmth? Why do I hear Jiang Da's loud voice?"
"Hahaha, it's me! We're all here."
"Great, great! You all sound like you're having a blast. Looks like you all answered well."
"Hehe, let fate decide, let fate decide."
"Let's get together when I get back."
"Absolutely! We'll be waiting for you here!"
It was originally a call between Song Wenuan and Bi Qiaoan, but Jiang Shanshan made a very strong impression.
