Chapter 499: I got a zero in the exam



Yun Jianhua was not worried at all.

Wang Yongjin still felt unsure.

Last night, Brother Yongcheng, Brother Lufeng, and even the little girl Yunmian made it clear that no one from the Wang family would be recruited into the factory.

Brother Yongcheng and Brother Lu Feng entrusted such an important matter to them, which shows that they trust them.

If they mess things up and break their promise to Brother Yongcheng and Brother Lufeng, it would be a small sin. But if because of the interference of Old Wang's family, Brother Yongcheng and Brother Lufeng cannot open the food processing factory, then their sin will be serious.

"Secretary Yun, don't forget that Wang Jiashun is educated."

Wang Yongjin pulled Yun Jianhua aside and reminded him in a low voice.

Yun Jianhua smiled and still wasn't worried at all.

"Wang Jiashun did go to school for two years, but during those two years, he either skipped school to go fishing in the river or to go up the mountain to collect bird eggs. Every final exam, he always came home with a zero. Zhang Ruhua and his wife were so angry that they chased him with tongs. The news of Zhang Jiashun's zero score was known to the whole village. Wang Jiashun didn't study seriously back then, and after so many years, I'm afraid he's long since forgotten what he learned. There are over 50 people registered for the job fair today, and many of them are young. It's harder than reaching for stars for Wang Jiashun and his wife to get into the top ten."

Yun Jianhua said this and patted Wang Yongjin on the shoulder with a relaxed look.

"Brother Yongjin, don't worry about it. Just focus on invigilating the exam and keep a close eye on Wang Jiashun and his wife. Don't let them have a chance to cheat."

Wang Yongjin felt that what Yun Jianhua said made sense, so he walked back to the dam and stared at Wang Jiashun and his wife carefully.

Because Yun Jianhua and Wang Yongjin were strict in supervising the exam, and there were villagers watching, Wang Jiashun and his wife were unable to copy other people's answers until the time to hand in the papers.

The couple could only hold pencils and scribble on the test paper. When the time came to hand in the test paper, the test paper with the couple's scribbles on it was taken away by Wang Yongjin.

There were only fifty or so test papers with simple content. Yun Jianhua, Wang Yong and several other village cadres corrected them in front of a group of villagers. Before four o'clock, the village cadres had finished correcting more than fifty papers.

Including the sales clerks from the Huangshi Department Store, a total of eleven people were to be recruited. After Yun Jianhua and Wang Yongjin had counted the top eleven, Yun Jianhua took the list and announced on the spot through a loud speaker: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

There really was no Wang Jiashun and his wife on the list. Yun Jianhua was so excited that he spoke out of tune.

The villagers present burst into laughter at his accent.

"Don't laugh. It's just that my Hong Kong Mandarin isn't standard. What's so funny about that? Do you still want to know the test results?"

As soon as Yun Jianhua mentioned the test results, the villagers present shut their mouths and stared at the paper in Yun Jianhua's hand.

Yun Jianhua retracted his gaze and glanced down at the list in his hand. After a moment of hesitation, he announced into the loud speaker, "First place, Yun Xiufen, 100 points."

There are a total of one hundred questions on the test paper.

Fifty literacy test questions, fifty addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems that can be done by third grade primary school students and above.

Each question is worth one point, and answering all correctly is 100 points.

Yun Xiufen graduated from elementary school and attended junior high school for one year. However, due to poor grades, she stopped going to school and has been helping with farm work at home for several years. This time, she unexpectedly got the first place in the exam, which greatly exceeded Yun Jianhua's expectations.

It seems that this girl really wants to go to town to work.

Yun Jianhua raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued to announce: "Second place, Wang Dashu 95 points, third place, Yu Tianbao 90 points, fourth place, Wang Qiqi 89 points... 55th place, Wang Jiashun 1 point, 56th place, Chen Dongxiang, zero points."

Although only eleven people were admitted, in order to avoid any doubts among the villagers present, Yun Jianhua still announced the results of the remaining forty-five people.

After Yun Jianhua finished reading out the names, those whose names were called were very excited, while those whose names were not called sighed.

After the villagers calmed down, Yun Jianhua continued with a loud speaker, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. Yun Yongcheng told Comrade Lu Feng that if the food processing factory is profitable, they will definitely expand production. When that happens, they will have to recruit workers, and they'll start by recruiting from Xiushui Village. So everyone still has a chance."

"Secretary Yun, is what you said true or false?"

Yun Jianhua looked at the villager who was speaking and shouted at him with a loud speaker, "Of course it's true. I'm the village party secretary. Why would I lie to you? When you go back, read more books and try to pass the exam next time. Don't just go up the mountain to collect bird eggs or go down the river to fish for nothing."

After Yun Jianhua finished speaking, Wang Jiashun suddenly felt embarrassed.

It felt like Yun Jianhua's words just now were directed at him.

Several villagers who were close to Wang Jiashun looked at him and burst into laughter.

"Secretary Yun, Jiashun and I both filled out the test papers, so why did I only get zero points and Jiashun only got one point? I don't believe it."

Yun Jianhua frowned when he was questioned.

In front of so many villagers, Chen Dongxiang was not afraid of Yun Jianhua. She raised her eyebrows and continued, "Also, Jiashun and I didn't write our names on the test paper. How did you know it was ours?"

"Yes, Secretary Yun, how did you know that was our paper?"

Wang Jiashun puffed out his chest and agreed with Chen Dongxiang.

Zhang Ruhua also spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Secretary Yun, your daughter Xiufen scored 100 points, while my daughter Jiashun and Dongxiang scored 1 point and zero respectively. You wouldn't abuse your power for personal gain in front of so many people, would you?"

As a village cadre, abusing power for personal gain is a serious offense.

After receiving this compliment, Yun Jianhua, no matter how good his temper was, couldn't help but look gloomy.

"Brother Yongjin, please give me all 56 test papers."

Wang Yongjin also knew that the matter today had become a big deal, so he hurriedly took out fifty-six test papers and handed them to Yun Jianhua.

Yun Jianhua held up the test papers one by one for the villagers present to review.

"Fellow villagers, please look carefully. There are fifty-six people taking the exam today. Fifty-four of them have their names written on them. Only these two do not have their names written on them."

As Yun Jianhua spoke angrily, he held up the papers of Wang Jiashun and his wife for the villagers present to review.

Chen Dongxiang and his wife saw at a glance the two scrawled papers in Wang Yongjin's hand.

Chen Dongxiang swallowed guiltily, puffed out her chest, and spoke with courage.

"The papers... there are no names on them, Secretary Yun. How did you know these two papers belonged to Jiashun and me?"

After Chen Dongxiang finished speaking, many villagers looked at the couple sideways.
