Facing his joke, Shi Shichang was not embarrassed, "Brother Xiang, it's been so long, it's time for you to find a confidant!"
Looking at the clutter piled up in the corner of the house makes me feel upset. For so many years, I have never found someone who understands me and is with me.
"I'm not in a hurry, why should you be? It will come naturally when it's time. You can't rush matters of the heart!"
Although he said so, his relatives kept introducing him to other girls, but he always looked down on them. They said that he was picky and it was impossible to get him to compromise. How could they spend their lives together without common topics?
To be honest, he was quite envious of Shi Shichang, who went to the hospital for treatment and got a wife. No, why didn't he encounter such a good thing?
"Go! I have something to tell you."
"Stop, stop, stop, I need to put on my shoes. I'm the mayor. Even if I don't go, who would dare to object?" Xiang Ming was pulled by his clothes and almost to the door before he even put on his shoes.
"I have something very important to tell you. Put on your shoes first. It's related to whether you can get promoted."
Hearing this, he instantly lost his sleepiness. "What's going on? It's so serious?"
Shi Shichang took out a piece of paper he had picked up from the street from his clothes and handed it to him to read.
Estimated time. Wait for him to finish reading, then ask, "Do you understand?"
"This! Isn't it just praising me? What's so special about it?" Xiang Ming took a quick look and found that he was actually written as a great judge. It was not very realistic, but he liked it.
I didn't know whether to praise him for his generosity or his lack of intelligence, so I just said, "You only read the second half, right? Read the whole thing."
"What? Someone actually dared to cheat right under my nose. You don't want to do this anymore, right?" He immediately understood the meaning of the article. It wasn't just praise, it was also a threat. "Who wrote this?"
"I don't know either. I saw them on the street. But I went to Wangjia Village to ask and found out that these two people really existed. Moreover, Chen Dong and Yang Xi did not enter the examination room that day due to something else. How could they have scores?" Shi Shichang instinctively did not mention Tian Xiaolan. He had been working with him for so long and knew his temper. He was not very receptive to suggestions, but there was still nothing wrong with him.
"Oh, so you came to me just to talk about this?" Xiang Ming was a little unhappy. Why should he tell him these trivial matters?
Shi Shichang continued to guide, "Think about it, if you don't do this well, can you still get promoted?"
"Yes, you are really my good brother. So what do you think I should do?" For so many years, it was Shi Shichang who had been giving him advice and suggestions, which was why he was able to stay in office for ten years without making any mistakes.
"Come and have a look. I have two more papers here. See what's different from the ordinary test papers." Shi Shichang took out the test papers from his bag and spread them out on the table. He leaned over to Xiang Ming and found that the signatures were Chen Dong and Yang Xi on the paper. Everything matched up.
"What's going on? Why did they still take the exam?" Xiang Ming was a little surprised. After hearing what he said, he picked up the two test papers and took a closer look. He found that the handwriting was beautiful and did not look like a man's handwriting at all.
"You figured it out! You're still as smart as ever!" Shi Shichang knew how to make him interested. He alone was not enough to get to the bottom of the matter, not to mention that Wu Dehua was trying to sabotage him.
"Hahahaha, I haven't used much strength yet. Is this test paper from Chen Dong and Yang Xi?" Xiang Ming asked the question in his heart. He thought that since Shi Shichang had already checked it, he should have come to a conclusion.
"No, touch the name here."
He just felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong. As soon as he said it, he took the paper in front of him and saw that the name seemed really wrong. The characters were curled up into a ball. Not only did they not match the answers on the test paper, but they were also a bit uneven, as if they were not written on this test paper. When he touched it, he could feel the graininess.
"Is there something underneath?" Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to cover up the test paper? This method wasn't particularly sophisticated, but it would be easy to get away with it if no one noticed. In that case, what he, as the mayor, did was unfair.
"Yes, I saw the ink marks with a black pen." Before, he could vaguely see three words through the strong handwriting on the back, which meant that they did not belong to them.
"Let me see." Xiang Ming was about to peel off the paper with his fingernails.
"Don't be impatient. Wait until there are more people together, otherwise they will say that we are helping our relatives to frame a good person." Although Shi Shichang did not say who it was, everything was self-evident between the two of them.
"It's impossible for the two of them to do such a thing. There must be someone else! Otherwise, how could they escape the review!" This matter was managed by Wu Dehua, who specially gave the villagers the answers to correct them to reduce their workload, so they would cheat and act slyly.
Xiang Ming took a few glances at it and returned the test paper to him.
"Let's do this for now. We'll tell them we've found the accomplice in the report. When he sees it, he'll feel guilty and come to see us. We'll then wait and we'll definitely catch him!" As for that particular invigilator, he was chosen by Shi Shichang because he felt that if he guarded this chaotic village impartially, nothing would go wrong.
It was his blind self-confidence that caused him to fall before. Now he dare not underestimate this incident. It can be a big deal or a small matter. Now is the critical period for his review. If he is found to have done nothing, there is no need to think about anything else. He can just go home and farm.
"You're my savior! You're just as I thought! What should we do next?"
"Go spread the news first. All we have to do now is wait." It didn't take long for everyone to know that he had taken the test papers from the office today. But could that man hold back? Shi Shichang was a little unsure.
"Okay." Then Xiang Ming asked his men to spread the news everywhere, causing a lot of discussion and asking people to observe who was the most abnormal.
In the afternoon, there were actually a few people who didn't usually work overtime. When the time came, they were still lingering at their workstations and didn't know what they were waiting to see.
At night, something suddenly jumped out on the dark and empty street, waking up the old man who was guarding the security room. He walked out the door and found that it was a black cat meowing. He was alone in the middle of the night, so he carried it into the room.
"Kitten, can't you find your way home?"
"Meow~" The cat raised its head and looked at him with a puzzled look, wondering what he was mumbling.
Just as the man and the cat were talking, a man climbed into the house from the side without making much noise.
The man who broke in didn't dare to light a fire. He followed his memory of working there for a long time and went to the mayor's office, intending to steal anything that might be detrimental to him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, a net bag came down and caught him.
Oh no, I’ve fallen into a trap!
He was about to take out the knife from his bag to cut the rope, but with a sudden force, the rope was tightened, binding him tightly like a pig at Chinese New Year. Then he heard a voice, "I want to see who sneaked in here in the middle of the night to steal things!"
