Finally, the day of the civil service examination arrived.

Xie Yongqiang walked into the examination room with a nervous mood.

He kept encouraging himself: "I must do well in the exam and not let them look down on me."

After the exam, Xie Yongqiang felt that he had performed mediocrely and was in a very low mood.

When he got home, he locked himself in his room and didn't want to see anyone.

Xie Guangkun paced anxiously outside the door, wanting to ask about the situation but not daring to speak.

While waiting for the results, Xie Yongqiang was restless every day.

Xie Yongqiang opened the query page with trembling hands. The moment he saw the results, his heart sank. It really did not meet his expectations.

But to his surprise, he passed the written test with the last place.

Xie Yongqiang felt mixed emotions for a moment. He felt a little relieved for having passed the written test, but at the same time he was worried about his last-place score.

After Xie Guangkun heard the news, a rare smile appeared on his face: "Humph, even though I'm the last one, at least I've made it to the interview. If I prepare well, maybe I'll still have a chance."

Xie Yongqiang remained silent, thinking about how to deal with the next interview.

Xie Lan encouraged: "Yongqiang, getting the interview is a good start, keep working hard."

Pi Changshan also said: "Yes, Yongqiang, if you perform well in the interview, it is not impossible for you to make a comeback."

Yongqiang's mother looked at her son distressedly and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best."

In the following days, Xie Yongqiang devoted himself to preparing for the interview.

He practiced answering questions in front of the mirror every day and also found a lot of relevant information to study.

Xie Guangkun always felt uneasy, so he took the two chickens and went to the town to ask Qi Santai for help in finding some connections.

When he arrived at the town government, Xie Guangkun hesitated at the door for a while before he went in.

Seeing Qi Santai, Xie Guangkun put the chicken on the ground.

He said with a big smile on his face, "Third Madam, Yongqiang passed the written test, but his ranking is too low. Can you help him get some help?"

Qi Santai frowned and said, "Guangkun, this is against the rules. I can't handle it."

Xie Guangkun hurried forward and said, "Third wife, please help Yongqiang for the sake of our relationship. Our whole family will be grateful to you."

Qi Santai hesitated for a moment and said, "Guangkun, it's not that I don't want to help, but if this is discovered, my position will be in jeopardy."

Xie Guangkun said hurriedly: "Third wife, don't worry, this matter will never be spread out, only you and I know it."

Qi Santai thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, Guangkun, considering our relationship, I will help Yongqiang this time, but this won't happen again."

Xie Guangkun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked her: "Oh, Third Madam, thank you so much, you have really helped our family a lot."

Qi Santai solemnly instructed: "Guangkun, you can't spread it. Also, don't mention this to Yongqiang when you go back. Let him prepare for the interview normally and don't add unnecessary psychological burden to him."

Xie Guangkun nodded repeatedly: "Third wife, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone, I promise to keep my mouth shut."

After Xie Guangkun left, Qi Santai sat on the chair, still feeling a little uneasy.

He knew that doing so was against principle, but because they were relatives, he couldn't refuse.

Qi Santai picked up the phone and dialed the number of his friend who was in charge of the interview.

After the call was connected, he chatted with the other party for a while, talking about the recent weather and some trivial things that had happened in the town recently.

Qi Santai wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, swallowing the words back when they came to his lips.

His friend on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "Mrs. San, you didn't call me today just to talk to me about this, did you?"

Qi Santai smiled awkwardly and said, "How can that be possible? I'm just chatting with you."

After chatting for a while, Qi Santai still didn't say anything about Xie Yongqiang.

Finally, he hurriedly ended the call and hung up the phone.

Qi Santai sighed deeply, thinking to himself: "Forget it. I can't hurt my friends because of my selfishness, and I can't destroy fairness."

Xie Yongqiang was unaware of his father's actions and was still preparing for the interview seriously.

Before the interview, Xie Guangkun was worried and called to ask Qi Santai how things were going.

Qi Santai on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then said, "Guangkun, don't worry, everything has been done. There will be no problem with Yongqiang."

When Xie Guangkun heard this, he felt relieved.

He said quickly: "Oh, Third Lady, thank you so much. When Yongqiang's matter is done, I will definitely repay you."

Qi Santai laughed dryly: "We are all relatives, there is no need to talk about repaying or not repaying."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Santai felt even more upset. He felt guilty and uneasy because he had lied.

On the day of the interview, Xie Yongqiang got up early and put on his most appropriate clothes.

The moment he walked into the examination room, he took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm.

During the interview, Xie Yongqiang tried his best to show his best side, but after it was over, he still felt unsure.

The days of waiting for the interview results were even more difficult, and Xie Yongqiang spent every day in anxiety.

Finally, the results were announced, and Xie Yongqiang finally succeeded in his comeback and passed the civil service exam.

When the news came, the whole family was overjoyed.

When Qi Santai heard the news, his face was full of surprise.

He originally thought that Xie Yongqiang was the last one to enter the interview and his hope of success was very slim, but the words he casually said to Xie Guangkun actually came true.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, recalling how he had hesitated in order to help, and finally gave up the illegal operation, and he felt mixed emotions.

On the one hand, he was pleased that Xie Yongqiang had achieved success through his own efforts; on the other hand, he felt ashamed of his original attempt to violate the rules.

Qi Santai said to himself, "It seems that Yongqiang is really capable, I underestimated him.

When Xie Guangkun heard that Xie Yongqiang had passed the civil service exam, he was so excited that he danced with joy.

He immediately found a broken basin at home, took a wooden stick and started hitting it.

He trotted out of the house and announced the good news to everyone he met: "My son Yongqiang passed the civil service exam!"

The voice was loud and proud, as if the whole village wanted to hear the good news.

When Xie Guangkun met Liu Neng on the road, he quickly stopped him and said, "Liu Neng, my Yongqiang passed the civil service exam and has a bright future ahead of him! Can your family compare?"

Liu Neng curled his lips: "Humph, it's nothing great. But congratulations to your Yongqiang."

Xie Guangkun snorted proudly: "You are just jealous, my son is promising, you have to accept it!"

After saying that, he continued to walk forward, knocking on the basin.

When he met Zhao Si, Xie Guangkun raised his voice even higher: "Fourth brother, my son Yongqiang is a civil servant!"

Zhao Si grinned and said, "Congratulations, Guangkun."

Xie Guangkun squinted at him and said, "Old Four, look at my Yongqiang, and then look at your Yutian, how can they be compared?"

Zhao Si's face darkened: "Guangkun, on such a happy day, why are you speaking so harshly?"

Xie Guangkun ignored him and walked away banging the basin.
