I was a daigou in the 60s

If her father knew about this, she would be in trouble!

Xiao Dongqing certainly understood this and winked at her in response.

"I promise!"

Xiao Dongqing is not the kind of ignorant young man who would betray others after getting benefits. He——

"what?"

"You don't have a high school diploma, so why are you still here to sign up for our job recruitment? Are you trying to play a trick on us?"

The middle-aged man in charge of recruitment registration put down his pen in dissatisfaction.

With his brows furrowed, he stared at Xiao Dongqing as if he was looking at a naughty child.

His voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of other applicants waiting in line around him.

Some old employees of the supply and marketing system who came with their children to register began to discuss in low voices.

"Whose family is this kid from?"

"I don't know him, but he dares to sign up after graduating from junior high school. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing!"

Xiao Dongqing felt his face getting hot.

He really didn't know that a high school diploma was required to apply for a job at the department store.

This is trouble!

This is an opportunity that I have finally found, and I must not give it up easily.

I have the impression that the original owner was lazy when he was studying.

But under the pressure of his adoptive father.

I still read it until my second year of high school.

He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, then mustered up the courage to speak.

"Comrade! I have indeed graduated from high school, but I left in a hurry today and forgot to bring my diploma."

"I promise to bring it next time. Please give me a chance, okay?"

This time the department store has special recruitment conditions, and the recruitment exam will be held about one month after registration.

If Xiao Dongqing can pass it successfully, there may still be hope.

After hearing what Xiao Dongqing said, the staff's faces became even uglier.

"Forgot to bring it? How could you forget such a thing?"

"Didn't your family tell you that you needed to bring your diploma to register today?"

"You have an attitude problem, you know that?"

“How many people dream of working in our department store.”

"Yet you assumed you could participate in internal recruitment just because someone in your family was in the system."

"Now, the opportunity is right in front of you, but you can't even do such a small thing. It's really disappointing!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently.

Xiao Dongqing took a deep breath and tried to make his tone more sincere.

"Uncle, it's all my fault! I've always dreamed of joining the supply and marketing system."

"When I heard about the job openings, I was so excited that I checked my documents several times, but I ended up carelessly forgetting to bring them."

"I apologize for the delay, but I really want this sales job."

"Please believe me, I will definitely bring my high school diploma with me on the day of the exam. I beg you to give me a chance!"

Xiao Dongqing thought to himself that he had to get the registration form first no matter what, and then find a way to make up for it.

Such opportunities don't come often. If Xiao Dongqing misses this one, he will probably regret it!

The staff in charge of registration saw that the young man's eyes were red with anxiety.

Although his anger subsided a little, he still shook his head firmly.

"No, rules are rules."

"One of the basic requirements for registration is to show a high school diploma. No matter how much you plead, it's useless."

The corner of Xiao Dongqing's mouth twitched: "..."

Ugh!

It seems that no matter how hard you try, it’s useless!

Just when Xiao Dongqing felt that hope was slim, the female colleague next to him couldn't bear it anymore.

"Old Yan, this is an internal recruitment, we are all family."

"The child does have a high school diploma, but he just forgot to bring it this time. Give him a chance."

When Xiao Dongqing heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

The female colleague who was speaking was about forty years old, with short, neat hair and simple clothes. Her eyes showed encouragement and understanding.

"You're a good young man. You're very clear about your goals. I can see that you really want to get this job."

"In that case, I'll give you a chance, but you can't be so careless in the future."

Xiao Dongqing nodded repeatedly, feeling warm in his heart. This world is still much warmer!

Old Yan frowned.

"Zhai Li, this is against the rules."

Zhai Li quickly filled out the registration form for Xiao Dongqing.

"Rules are dead, people are alive."

"Since he said he has a diploma, let's give him the opportunity to register first and then see how it goes on the day of the exam."

Old Yan was still a little hesitant.

"If everyone follows suit, won't it cause chaos?"

Zhai Li handed the registration form to Xiao Dongqing and said lightly.

"There's no limit on the number of people who can register. As long as he guarantees he can bring his diploma on the day of the exam, I'll register him."

Thanks to Zhai Li's leniency, Xiao Dongqing finally got the registration form as he wished.

After walking out of the department store, Xiao Dongqing carefully put the registration form into the backpack he was carrying.

Xiao Dongqing took a step forward with confidence and hurried to Nantong No. 1 Middle School.

As soon as he arrived at school, he went straight to Teacher Zhang's office.

I told my teacher that I wanted to take the high school graduation exam.

“…” For a moment, Teacher Zhang thought there was something wrong with his ears.

He rubbed his brows lightly and said, "Say what you just said again."

Xiao Dongqing responded, straightened up and repeated.

"Teacher Zhang, I would like to ask for your permission to take the high school graduation exam next month with the second-year students."

"I hope to get my diploma soon. Oh, and I still owe you this semester's tuition. I'll pay it today."

"Thank you for your continued care."

"Don't be so quick to thank me."

Teacher Zhang frowned.

He made a pause gesture and spoke in a more serious tone.

"Let me ask you again, is what you just said true?"

Xiao Dongqing blinked and looked at Teacher Zhang in confusion.

"Of course it's true."

How can it not be true?

He needed a high school diploma to take the recruitment exam for the city's factories.

Teacher Zhang looked Xiao Dongqing up and down, his face full of disbelief.

Suddenly, he slammed the table and stood up, his voice rising a few decibels.

"You? You, the one who failed almost every class, actually told me you wanted to take the high school graduation exam?"

"Student Xiao Dongqing, you don't think the high school graduation exam is a child's game, do you?"

"That's the real college entrance exam, a test that determines your fate!"

There were only the two of them in the office at this time, and Teacher Zhang's eyes were almost filled with anger.

In his view, this was a challenge to his authority.

A high school student with mediocre grades actually dared to propose to take the college entrance examination. His ignorance is outrageous!

Xiao Dongqing didn't expect Teacher Zhang's reaction to be so big.

I quickly explained, "The college entrance exam is no joke! Teacher Zhang, I didn't take it lightly, nor did I act on impulse."

"I understand what I meant, since I said I would take the college entrance examination."

"That's serious. I have a reason to take the college entrance examination. Please help me and apply for it for me."

The reason why Teacher Zhang was so excited.

It was because Xiao Dongqing's past performance was so poor that he mistakenly thought it was a joke.

When Teacher Zhang saw that Xiao Dongqing didn't seem to be joking, he was stunned and spoke after a while.

"...You are really brave."
