Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

When Gu Zhan returned to the lounge with his things, Li Yuquan was already waiting inside with the test paper.

"Something for the family?"

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Director. I bought some things for my wife." Gu Zhan said generously.

"Oh, the young man still loves his wife. He is a young man after all."

Although Li Yuquan said it jokingly, he was right in his heart. He was knowledgeable, cultured, well-educated, and a family man.

Gu Zhan felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time he mentioned Liu Xiaoxi in front of others, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Gu Zhan's embarrassment, Li Yuquan spread the test paper in his hand on Gu Zhan's desk, pointed at it and said, "Xiao Gu, these are all the papers for this exam. Look, I have arranged them in order by score, with the highest scores at the front and the lowest scores at the back."

"Good director."

Gu Zhan sat down and carefully looked through the test paper in his hand. The further he looked, the more his brows furrowed. By the end, he had completely figured out the ins and outs of this grading.

Li Yuquan saw that something was wrong and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Xiao Gu, is there any problem?"

Gu Zhan frowned, wondering how to answer this question to Li Yuquan.

Seeing his embarrassment, Li Yuquan said, "Xiao Gu, just go ahead and tell me."

Gu Zhan smiled slightly: "Okay, Director."

Then, Gu Zhan took out one of the test papers with the highest and lowest scores and said, "Director, there's something wrong with the grading of this test paper."

After Gu Zhan said this, Li Yuquan had almost figured it out. These English teachers in the city were definitely not professionally proficient. Someone must have made a fool of themselves and made a wrong assessment.

"Who is the unskilled one who made the mistake in reading the question?"

Gu Zhan shook his head: "No."

When Gu Zhan said this, Li Yuquan was obviously stunned: "Isn't it because I misread the question and gave the wrong score? Then what is it?"

"Someone deliberately gave high scores as low scores and low scores as high scores. All high-scoring and low-scoring papers were manipulated in this way."

When Li Yuquan heard Gu Zhan say this, he was stunned for a moment and didn't react at all. After a few seconds, Li Yuquan asked in a calm voice: "Could you have seen it wrong?"

Gu Zhan looked at Li Yuquan with a smile but said nothing.

What else did Li Yuquan not understand? Gu Zhan had just arrived, so it was impossible for him to get to know so many people so quickly and do such a risky thing.

What's more, he was the one who was decided to stay by Director Liu himself, so there was no reason for him to do so. The only explanation was that these teachers who marked the papers accepted benefits from certain people and falsified the marking results.

They thought they had done this perfectly, but unexpectedly Gu Zhan, who was proficient in English, showed up and did a second review of the papers and saw through their tricks.

Li Yuquan felt that everything in front of his eyes was getting dark.

He couldn't make the decision on this matter alone, so he immediately called Liu Jianhua to report the matter.

When Liu Jianhua received Li Yuquan's call, he was in disbelief at first. It was not until he saw the test paper, looked up the dictionary with the help of Gu Zhan, checked the meanings of some words and verified them himself that he completely believed it.

"They are absolutely audacious."

Liu Jianhua had a dark face and asked Gu Zhan to help review the test paper again.

Because he had almost reviewed them once before, Gu Zhan had reviewed these dozens of papers again in less than an hour.

The test papers were rearranged according to scores, and the people who were about to be hired based on their scores this time were completely different from the last time.

Seeing the result, Li Jianhua was furious and slammed his desk: "They are so rebellious."

He then instructed Li Yuquan: "First, inform the leaders of the Education Bureau about this matter. Tomorrow morning, hold a meeting with all the examiners and the main leaders of the unit."

Li Yuquan agreed nervously, but in a serious manner, he tried to ask Liu Jianhua: "Director, does Xiao Gu want to attend the meeting tomorrow morning?"

After a moment's thought, Liu Jianhua instructed Li Yuquan, "Go see Xiao Gu and see if he can overcome his difficulties and attend the meeting tomorrow morning. It will be more convincing if there are any disputes."

Li Yuquan agreed nervously, thinking that he must ask Gu Zhan to help him again tomorrow morning, otherwise it would be difficult to come to a conclusion on this matter.

At the same time, Li Yuquan felt a surge of fear in his heart. Fortunately, these papers were reviewed again by Gu Zhan. If it weren't for Gu Zhan, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he would have been badly harmed by these teachers.

Fortunately, fortunately, God really has mercy on us.

When it was almost time to get off work, Li Yuquan counted the number of documents that Gu Zhan had translated in the past two days, and asked the accountant to calculate the money based on the number of words.

"The total is two hundred and eighty yuan," said the accountant.

Li Yuquan took the statistical sheet and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll give it to Director Liu for his signature."

Special matters were handled with swift efficiency. Liu Jianhua didn't waste any time, took a quick look, and signed his agreement. Half an hour later, Gu Zhan had received his royalties.

Two hundred and eighty yuan, in the countryside of that era, was definitely a huge sum of money, not to mention the subsequent books. He tightly grasped the huge sum of money, and his heart warmed slightly.

He was confident that he could make Liu Xiaoxi live a comfortable life.

Once the emotion of missing someone is aroused, it can no longer be suppressed. Just like Gu Zhan, he was able to calm down and concentrate on his work in the past two days, but now, although his eyes are on the book, Liu Xiaoxi's face appears on the paper in front of him, with every frown and smile in it, and he can't concentrate at all.

Gu Zhan held his forehead and chuckled. After a long while, he calmed down and continued to devote himself to the work at hand. He had to speed up the progress to ensure that he could hand over the entire translation of the book to Li Yuquan early tomorrow morning.

With such a simple and plain belief, Gu Zhan basically stayed up all night.

The next morning, after work, Gu Zhan finally gave Li Yuquan the second book and the subsequent translation manuscript all at once.

"Is it true that the translation of this book has been completed?"

Gu Zhan smiled tiredly: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

Li Yuquan patted Gu Zhan's shoulders excitedly several times: "Good, good job. But Xiao Gu, can you do us another favor today?"

Li Yuquan knew that Gu Zhan was going home this morning, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

He was originally going to come to Gu Zhan last night to explain everything, but Director Liu asked him to go to the Education Bureau last night, so Gu Zhan was delayed.

It is somewhat unkind to give such a short notice at this time.

Gu Zhan had roughly guessed what Li Yuquan was going to say next, so he didn't act anxious. In fact, when he was planning to talk about this matter yesterday, he had already expected that he would not be able to leave this morning.

"Director, please speak."

"Xiao Gu, Director Liu said he's going to hold a meeting this morning, mainly about yesterday's incident. Since you're the most professional here, Xiao Gu, your presence will be more convincing."

"Okay." Gu Zhan agreed readily.

Gu Zhan agreed so readily that Li Yuquan felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he said to Gu Zhan, "Xiao Gu, Director Liu's meeting should be over before ten o'clock. I'll send someone to buy a ticket now. After the meeting, the company car will take you to the station to catch the bus. What do you think?"

Gu Zhan also wanted to go home early, so he gladly accepted Li Yuquan's arrangement: "Thank you, Director. That's perfect."
