Public examination landing guide

He fell asleep in a daze.

In the morning, Gu Taoqiang pulled himself together, ate a few slices of toast, and drank a bottle of strong coffee before stepping into the examination room.

After such a toss last night, the serious lack of sleep still affected Gu Tao's performance, and his concentration was slow, and it took more than half an hour for the exam to enter the state.

In the afternoon, after submitting the examination papers, Gu Tao came out of the examination room. He didn't plan to go home, so he went straight to the hotel to stay for the night. He fell asleep almost as soon as he fell into bed.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already past seven o'clock the next morning.Gu Tao didn't touch a single grain of rice last night, and now he is so hungry, he washed up hastily, and went out for breakfast with his mobile phone.

The mobile phone has been turned off since entering the examination room yesterday afternoon, and I saw several messages as soon as I turned it on.

Wang Yi and a few other friends sent messages to care about his condition, while his parents were asking about the exam situation...

Huh?Xu Jinghan also sent him a message last night.

Gu Tao didn't think much about it, and immediately called him back.

"Hello, Jing Han, I'm Gu Tao. I'm sorry, I forgot to turn on my mobile phone yesterday after I came out of the examination room. I didn't see the message you sent. What can I do for you?"

"Oh... so that's the case. I saw that you hadn't talked in the group yesterday, and your phone was turned off when you called, so I sent a message to ask, and there was nothing wrong." Xu Jinghan's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

Gu Tao understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and guessed that Xu Jinghan saw that he didn't say a word in the group yesterday, and thought that he was in a bad mood after failing the exam, so he wanted to call him to comfort him.

It seems that Xueba Xiaoge still cares about me very much!Thinking about it this way, Gu Tao's depressed mood suddenly eased a lot, and he even thought of teasing Xu Jinghan again.

"I can't tell, it turns out that Jing Han cares about me so much."

Listening to Gu Tao's teasing tone, Xu Jinghan on the other end of the phone couldn't help but feel a little hot, feeling a little annoyed that he was meddling in his own business.

"Jing Han, let me tell you that I was really unlucky yesterday..."

Gu Tao explained to Xu Jinghan the story of how he went to the emergency room after eating a bad stomach before the exam.

This is not something to be proud of.But Gu Tao, relying on his sharp tongue, vividly portrayed it as a heroic deed who knew that there were many difficulties and the odds of winning were not great, but he was not afraid of difficulties and dared to give it a go.

Xu Jinghan was at a loss for a while after being fooled by success, he hesitated on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then he clumsily came up with a few words to comfort him: "That—Gu Yao, you have to take good care of your health, and try harder next time you take the exam. It's nothing, there are still many opportunities."

Imagining Xu Jinghan's embarrassment and anxiety, Gu Dashao secretly laughed for a long time on the phone for some reason.

☆、The joys and sorrows of the public examination

For many test takers, checking the answers after the exam is a habitual action, even if the result is already doomed, but you have to get the answer right to be at ease, otherwise there will always be a little fairy in your heart, hooking you up so that you can't sleep or eat install.

However, the official answer of the public exam is like a green tea bitch who still holds a pipa and half hides her face, always hanging on to you and never willing to submit obediently.

So some public examination training institutions will publish their own versions of reference answers, and by the way, make a wave of presence and advertise.

Except for a very small number of controversial questions, most of the reference answers of training institutions are close to the official scoring standards.For those "old fritters" who take the public exam, after the exam, you can evaluate your score and whether you can get into the interview or not.

In the second half of the year, Gu Tao made great progress in the provincial examination, but unfortunately, he might not be able to get into the interview.He estimated that he should have more than 60 points in the test, which is much higher than the soy sauce in the first half of the year, but the total score can't reach 130 points. If this is placed in other prefecture-level cities in Province C, there is still a chance of entering the interview Yes, but if it is in Yuzhou City, the provincial capital...

Of course, as long as the official ranking does not come out within a day, anything is possible.

For the slightest possibility of getting in, the members of the "Ashore Combat Squad" held a second offline gathering.

At the beginning of October, the autumn is high and the air is crisp, and the open-air water bar is still a good place for young people to go shopping, rest their feet, chat and bask in the sun.

Gu Tao and his group sat around the round table, looking very comfortable.However, in a group of people, it is not as easy as it seems on the surface.

At this time, Cheng Xi was the one with the least pressure.She hasn't got her graduation certificate yet, and even if she passed the provincial exam, she won't be able to pass the information review, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't go online or not, as long as she can prepare for the national exam at the end of the year with peace of mind.

Compared to Cheng Xi, Gu Tao, Qin Siyu and Dai Min are in a particularly awkward situation.

Even Qin Siyu, who was always reserved and not very talkative, couldn't help but worry: "Should I continue to prepare for the written exam of the national exam and review the interview after I pass the provincial exam, or should I prepare for the interview in advance?"

Dai Min also had the same worries: "Yeah, I'm struggling too. Looking at the interview materials now, if you don't pass the provincial exam, it's a waste of time. But if you get the provincial exam results, you're worried that the time will be too short."

Facing the same situation of being unable to get up and down, Gu Tao seemed very calm: "There is nothing to entangle. Before the results come out, let's go through the interview question types and answer routines. I have asked, and these contents will not cost much. Time. As soon as the official results come out, the interviewees will concentrate on doing high-intensity interview training. Besides, with everyone's review progress, there is nothing else to do before the national exam written exam except brushing up on the set questions."

Listening to Gu Tao's analysis, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about, Qin Siyu smiled relievedly and said: "Brother Tao is right, now that I think about it, there is really nothing to worry about."

"How did you do in the exam in Province S?" Gu Tao turned sideways and asked Xu Jinghan who was sitting next to him.

Provincial exams have always been given by the provinces themselves. Gu Tao is very confident in Xu Jinghan's strength, but there is no guarantee that Xu Jinghan, who is used to the exam questions in province C, can adapt to the exam questions in province S.

Xu Jinghan didn't hide anything: "As expected, the test questions in Province S are indeed much simpler than ours. I estimate that the score of this written test should be around 155."

Cheng Xi screamed out excitedly: "My God, 155 points!"

People at several tables nearby turned their heads to look at her, Cheng Xi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, lowered her head and took a sip of milk tea.

Gu Tao smiled and said, "Girls pay attention to their image in public."

"Xiaoxi, don't get excited, as the tide rises, there is no guarantee that you will definitely get an interview, and—" Xu Jinghan paused, "I really don't have much confidence in the interview."

"I think Jing Han, maybe you are not so confident and confident in the interview." Gu Tao said seriously: "Your knowledge reserve and theoretical level are definitely top-notch, but you lack self-confidence, and you tend to get nervous when you go to the examination room. So it’s hard to show your true strength.”

There is another point that Gu Tao didn't say, he was afraid that it would hit Xu Jinghan who didn't have much self-confidence.According to his observation, Xu Jinghan usually doesn't like to talk, and his verbal expression ability is relatively weak. It's not that he can't think of many opinions, but it's hard to organize them into words in a short time and express them clearly.

The most obvious example is that Xu Jinghan can speak eloquently about all kinds of things when typing and communicating on the Internet, but whenever communicating with people face to face, he will become hesitant.

Gu Tao smiled again and looked at the others: "But it's okay, Jing Han will help you sort out the basic interview routines during this time, and we will accompany him to do more interview simulation training, practice makes perfect, in case you encounter similar exam questions in the exam room , then you can get a great bargain."

Song Weidong was not able to attend this party.

Song Weidong: "I'd better wait for my grades in my hometown first. It's not cheap to go to the provincial capital. If I pass the interview, I'll come to Yuzhou to practice with everyone."

----

In mid-October, many people have not recovered from the huge crowds of people during the National Day holiday, and the results of the provincial written examination in the second half of the year will be released one after another.

Sure enough, Xu Xueba steadily entered the interview with a super high score of 157, which was a full 2 points higher than No.8.According to Gu Tao: "If I were No.2, I definitely wouldn't go to this kind of interview that is obviously accompanying me."

In province C, Cheng Xi scored 122 points in the test. If this score is replaced by the national test, he may be interviewed, but for the "three unlimited" positions in province C——

"Hey! Let's be the denominator with peace of mind."

Qin Siyu's total score is 127, which is considered an upper-middle grade. Unfortunately, she applied for a popular job in the Economic Development Zone of Yuzhou City. There are many experts among the competitors. She ranked 9th and missed the interview.

Gu Tao was not able to enter the interview as he expected, but he has been used to being at the bottom since he was a child. This time he scored 125 points in the test, and he actually ranked in the middle among a group of test friends. A certain scumbag said hypocritically: "I'm not used to it ".

Neither Song Weidong nor Dai Min scored 120 points.

Song Weidong applied for a job in a township in his hometown.Originally thought that there was little competition at the grassroots level and it was easy to go ashore, but he didn't expect that this major could apply for this position besides "three unlimited" this time, and there were quite a lot of applicants. He scored 118 points and ranked 15th.

Dai Min was very lucky. She felt that she couldn't procrastinate for too long when she was too old, so she simply "curved to save the country" and applied for the exam in a poor county below Yuzhou City. There were only 12 applicants for this position, and she ranked second with 115 points. The person with the lowest score among the test friends even entered the interview.

It can be seen that the civil service examination registration is also a technical job.

Seeing that Dai Min was still able to get into the interview with 12 points lower than herself, Qin Siyu felt very uncomfortable, but on the surface she pretended to be fine and congratulated Dai Min: "Congratulations, Sister Dai, you are so lucky. It’s not like I insisted on reporting to the central city, wasting the points for nothing. By the way, I heard that Cangping County seems to be a bit far from the city, and it will not be easy to invite you out to play in the future.”

No matter how smart Gu Tao is, as a big man, he can't understand women's twists and turns. He thought Qin Siyu was really worried that Dai Min would be sent to a poor place, so he comforted him: "Next year, Metro No. 13 The line is about to start construction, and it is planned to be repaired to Cangping. With the current development speed of Yuzhou City, Cangping will also be included in the main urban area in a few years. Dai Min is now going to take advantage of the low housing prices to buy two or three houses. It's time to be a charter wife."

Originally, Dai Min still had some concerns, but after hearing what Gu Tao said, his mind really became active.Ignoring Qin Siyu's harsh words, I was going to go back and inquire about the future plans of Cangping County.When you get older, you have to be realistic, don't you?

A few days later, Gu Tao unexpectedly received a call from Song Weidong.

Gu Tao: "Brother Song? What can I do for you?"

Song Weidong on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment: "... Gu Tao, something happened to my family recently, I... I can't figure it out, you have a lot of experience, can you help me analyze it?"

This buddy of feelings regards me as an expert in dealing with family problems!Gu Tao felt a little speechless.

"Let's listen to what you said first."

At the beginning of this year, Song Weidong resigned from his job in Yuzhou to devote himself to preparing for the public exam.In order to save money, he returned to his hometown in the countryside from Yuzhou.

Song Weidong is 29 years old this year. At this age in the countryside, he has neither a family nor a job. Neighbors, relatives and friends will inevitably gossip.

Song Weidong's parents also felt disgraced, so they asked a relative who was a cadre in the town to arrange a job for Song Weidong.According to the seniority of this person, Song Weidong should be called cousin.

During the National Day, Song Weidong's parents forced him to bring two bottles of wine and a basket of fruit to visit this cousin's house.

The other party first chatted with Song Weidong's parents, then arrogantly criticized Song Weidong and asked him to write a self-criticism.

The honest Song Weidong was stunned at once, why did he suddenly write a self-criticism, as if he had done nothing wrong?

Song Weidong thought for many days but couldn't figure it out, and couldn't bear to ask Gu Tao for help.

After hearing this, Gu Tao silently sighed in his heart.

He grew up in the city since he was a child, but his father, Gu Yaohua, had gone to the grassroots villages for training for a period of time, so he had heard a lot about the situation in the countryside.

In the past, the selection of cadres at the grassroots level did not require passing various examinations like it is now. Many people got into the establishment by relying on the wine table to gain connections and favors.Most of these people are not of high cultural quality, but all of them are good at human relations.And they are full of contradictions in their hearts about reading. On the one hand, they don't believe that "reading can change their destiny", on the other hand, they often feel inferior to themselves because they are uneducated.

Therefore, I often advertise myself as a practical person, and like to ridicule and belittle those who have higher education than myself and are not as good as myself, so as to cover up my inner inferiority complex.

Gu Tao reckoned that Song Weidong's cousin might be a little self-inflated because he became a petty official, and asking Song Weidong to write the review was just to put on an official airs and show a sense of superiority.But right now Song Weidong should not offend the other party and leave a way out for himself.

Thinking through the cause and effect, Gu Tao began to give Song Weidong some advice: "Brother Song, don't worry, I know you must be upset right now, but no matter what the other party says, don't contradict him face to face. Now that he is an official, it's normal for him to show his prestige. .”

"As for writing a self-criticism, that's easy to do. You just write:... As an adult, it's wrong for your parents to worry about you... In the future, you should learn more from your cousin... You can flatter him more, it's not right to flatter him wear!"

Gu Tao is an experienced writer of self-criticism, no matter whether he is convinced or not, he can write a large self-criticism with a sincere attitude and a moving heart.As for whether it will happen again... that's hard to say.

Song Weidong didn't have the fancy of Gu Tao, so it was hard to think of one thing and write another, so he could only record what Gu Tao said sentence by sentence.

The author has something to say: Whether the public examination can go ashore is just like the growth of the author's collection. In addition to his own strength, sometimes he has to believe in metaphysics! o(╥﹏╥)o

☆, Gu's special training

"...The above is my opinion on the incident, and the examinee has finished answering."

Xu Jinghan turned off the recording on his mobile phone and let out a deep breath. As long as he can perform [-]% of his usual practice level in the interview, he will be able to go ashore smoothly.But it was such a small step that blocked him from success time and time again.

The range of interview materials for the public exam is very wide, covering various aspects such as current affairs, social life, and work practice, but there are only a few types of questions. In the final analysis, it is still a kind of exam.As long as it is an exam, the stupid method of "question sea tactics" can always achieve some results.

Xu Jinghan will do a lot of real interview questions every night, and at the same time record his answering process with his mobile phone, and find out the shortcomings by listening to the recording.At the beginning, he stuttered, but after a week, he was basically able to speak smoothly.

"Jing Han, let me tell you that it's absolutely impossible for you to ask and answer questions by yourself at home like this. After all, it's not the few questions that stump you, but the group of people sitting opposite you. How about I find a place on Saturday , give you a special training?" Gu Tao suggested after listening to the recording Xu Jinghan sent.

"Special training?" Xu Jinghan asked uneasily and suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Tao clicked his tongue twice, and said with a light smile, "I just want to find you a stressful environment and practice the real interview questions with you. Why are you nervous? It's like I molested a decent woman."

"..."

After a while, Xu Jinghan blushed and whispered in his voice: "Can you... be serious?"

----

On Saturday, Xu Jinghan was invited by Gu Tao to Xicheng Square.

Xicheng Plaza is located in the core CBD of the Western New District of Yuzhou City.There is a huge musical fountain in the center of the square, and the square park in the south is full of ginkgo trees.In late autumn, the golden ginkgo leaves fluttering in the wind attract many citizens to enjoy it.

There is a large shopping mall on the north side of the square, and there are several cafes and water bars on the flat street level, which are very popular with young people from nearby science and technology companies.

Gu Tao was very concerned about Xu Jinghan's interview. In order to find a suitable place for Xu Jinghan to practice, he even made a special trip to Xicheng Square to step on it. He deliberately chose an open-air cafe next to the gate of the shopping mall. Not far away is Xicheng At the exit of the square subway station, pedestrians are constantly coming and going.

Xu Jinghan looked around and asked, "Is this the good place you said?"

"Of course." Gu Tao leaned back on the chair leisurely, crossed his hands, and said very firmly: "Look, we haven't done anything yet, and you are already feeling uneasy. It is necessary to be in this kind of pressure. Exercise your ability to think and answer questions in an environment where you can learn more.”

Xu Jinghan knew that what Gu Tao said made sense, but knowing it was one thing, and doing it was another.He took a deep breath, silently said "relax...relax..." several times, and then said to Gu Tao: "Let's start!".

Seeing Xu Jinghan's appearance of being generous, Gu Tao chuckled in his heart, forget it, let's start with the simple one, lest the difficulty is too high and the blow is too big to scare people away.

"Let's try the interview questions you practiced this week first." Gu Tao took the book in Xu Jinghan's hand, flipped through it casually, picked a set of questions from it, and started asking questions.

Because of the practice not long ago, Xu Jinghan thought very quickly, but when he opened his mouth to answer, it was not as easy as expected.

Pedestrians pass by from time to time.One of the two of them was tall and handsome, and the other looked gentle. Sitting just like this facing the street, they were quite a bit turned away.

Xu Jinghan was like a small animal looking for food in the jungle. While gnawing on the food, he was alert to the surrounding movement with his big watery eyes.Whenever there is a turmoil, the ears will move sensitively, ready to escape back to the tree hole at any time.

Xu Jinghan would be distracted every time a passer-by glanced at them. Several times, he didn't know what time he was speaking, and it took half an hour to finally finish answering a set of questions.

In order not to put too much psychological pressure on Xu Jinghan, Gu Tao did not comment on his intermittent and unorganized answers, but picked one of the hot social analysis questions to discuss with Xu Jinghan.

This method worked very well. Xu Jinghan's attention was drawn away from the pedestrians coming and going.

Seeing that Xu Jinghan had relaxed a lot, Gu Tao continued to ask questions.

As soon as Xu Jinghan entered the state of answering questions, he sat up straight and put his hands on the table like a primary school student.

"Jing Han, I see that you haven't written a few words on the draft paper. Don't always stare at the draft paper. Isn't brother Tao's face as good as a piece of paper?"

Xu Jinghan was completely out of shape and couldn't get Gu Tao's humor at all. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to look up at the examiner."

Even if it is not windy at this time of year, it is still chilly outside, but Xu Jinghan, who has been sitting all this time, is sweating through his shirt.

Insufficient self-confidence is not only due to lack of confidence in doing things, but also has a lot to do with people's personality.With a character like Gu Tao, not to mention the dozen or so interviewers, even if he was asked to face hundreds of people on the rostrum, he could still speak calmly.

Gu Tao also knows that personality habits are formed since childhood, and they cannot be reversed for a while, but there is not much time left for Xu Jinghan, so he secretly worried for Xu Jinghan in his heart.

"Let's choose the least difficult organizational planning question. When answering, pay attention to your demeanor. Don't keep your head down. You have to imagine that you are talking to me, not bowing your head to endorse."

After Gu Tao's reminder, Xu Jinghan paid special attention to his body movements this time. He remembered what the training teacher said, "If you look at the examiner's eyes and get nervous, then look at his nose."

"For the smooth development of this event, first, I will..."

Xu Jinghan managed to concentrate, but at this moment, a five or six-year-old boy stumbled out from the gate of the nearby shopping mall, ignoring the calls of the parents behind him, and rushed straight towards Gu Tao and Xu Jinghan.Finally, at a distance of one or two meters from the two of them, the parents grabbed her, picked her up and walked away.

The sudden scene interrupted Xu Jinghan's train of thought, he stuttered for a long time and didn't know what to say next.

Gu Tao finally announced that his patience was exhausted. He closed the book and said angrily, "It's just a child, so why scare you like this? You're too thin-skinned, you're squeamish like a bitch."

After tossing around for an entire afternoon, Xu Jinghan was very angry. Gu Tao's words hit him so hard, even though Xu Jinghan's character was soft, he couldn't hold it back, and replied coldly: "I'm just like this, I'm sorry I made you laugh. I think I should practice by myself in the future, so as not to waste your time."

Gu Tao grew up in a wealthy family, and he was very proud in his bones. He had never cared so much for anyone, but the other party didn't appreciate it, so he said angrily, "Okay, forget meddling, let's break up today!" After finishing speaking Without taking another look at Xu Jinghan, he got up and left alone.

After returning home, Xu Jinghan seemed to have been exhausted from his body, and collapsed on the soft fabric sofa.

After calming down, he began to regret today's impulse.

Xu Jinghan reflected in his heart that Gu Tao was also a little rushed because he was worried for him. In the final analysis, he himself was too sensitive.

Raising his hand to block the glare of the sun outside the window, Xu Jinghan sighed. He was extremely nervous throughout the afternoon, exhaustion reduced his self-control, so he couldn't control his emotions well.

In fact, Xu Jinghan has always had mild social phobia, but he has been hiding it very well over the years. People around him only think that he is low-key and introverted, and he has not found that he has social barriers at all.

However, in the high-pressure environment of the public examination and interview, the problems of not daring to meet people's eyes when speaking, and not daring to speak loudly in crowded places were exposed all at once.

There are many young people who are not good at socializing, but most of them are because they have been addicted to the virtual world of the Internet for a long time and lack the experience of communicating with people in real life.

But Xu Jinghan is different, his social fear stems from a secret that he dare not reveal.

Junior high school is the period when young people's love begins to bloom. Even in Xu Jinghan's "top student" circle, the boys will get together in private to talk about "which girl in the class is beautiful" and "who is well-developed". Get a little yellow book or two to read.

Xu Jinghan has never been interested in these topics.In his opinion, the class girl sitting diagonally opposite was no different from other girls, far less attractive than the sweaty boys on the school playground.

At first, Xu Jinghan thought that he was just envious of those boys of the same age who could play around wantonly.

His mother has been very strict with him since he was a child, and he would be hit by a board if he was naughty. For a long time, he could only quietly watch other children playing games.

After separating science and Chinese subjects in high school, the number of female classmates around Xu Jinghan, who was studying liberal arts, doubled. Some girls would gather together during recess to chat about things like "Danmei" and "fanartism".Only then did Xu Jinghan know the concept of "homosexuality".

For the first time, Xu Jinghan's outlook on life suffered a subversive impact.For several consecutive weekends, he secretly went to Internet cafes to search for relevant information, and even did a lot of psychological tests for himself.

In that era when Internet addiction was treated as a mental illness, Xu Jinghan thought that his hazy and unspeakable thoughts were hopelessly ill.

He didn't dare to tell these things to his parents who had high hopes for him, and he was also afraid that the people around him would point fingers behind his back, so he instinctively chose to escape.

During high school living in school, Xu Jinghan always went to the classroom early before his roommates got up, and after school at night, he studied in the classroom until the dormitory was about to turn off the lights before going back to wash up.This kind of unsociable work and rest time was regarded as a performance of hard work in the special period of high school.

When he arrived at the university, the library became Xu Jinghan's safe haven.

In addition to becoming less and less fond of contact with people, he also tried his best to avoid being associated with words such as "sissy", "pretty" and "good-looking".

Xu Jinghan doesn't like to participate in outdoor activities, and his skin is even fairer than that of many girls. In addition to his handsome appearance and clean temperament, there are not a few people who say that he is "good-looking" in private.

Xu Jinghan actually ranked in the top five in a female-dominated grass selection. If it wasn't for the slight lack of height, he might have been able to squeeze into the top three.

Of course, Xu Jinghan himself didn't know about these things, until one time, a senior from an animation club asked him to play a role in the reverse, and he suddenly woke up like a bolt from the blue.

☆, their own troubles

In order to make himself look more masculine, Xu Jinghan once went to the playground to bask in the sun in the summer, but before he could tan himself, he was carried to the school hospital by his classmates because of heat stroke.

Later, he also tried to go to the gym to find a personal trainer for muscle-building training, but it was a pity that the place full of male hormones in the gym really made him feel uncomfortable, so he gave up after a few visits.

Fortunately, domestic aesthetics has been influenced by Japan and South Korea in the past few years, and small fresh meat has become popular. The thin and handsome Xu Jinghan has also changed from "girly" to "handsome".

He hasn't bothered with his image for a long time.But now Gu Tao hit the pain point - he hated people to say that he looks like a woman, so he couldn't help it and exploded.

What should we do now?Xu Jinghan was tangled in his heart, laying on the sofa thinking for a long time but couldn't think of a solution.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Xu Jinghan was like a little tortoise, retracting his head into the shell after being hit, and euphemistically said: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."

----

After Gu Tao and Xu Jinghan broke up unhappy, the two fell into a cold war. Not only did they have no contact in private, but there was no interaction between the two in the group online learning.

This unprecedented situation made Gu Tao feel inexplicably irritable, so he casually sent an emoji of [Crazy] in Moments.

I didn't expect to receive a message from Fan Xiaoxue soon: "What's the matter, Brother Tao?"

Gu Tao: "I had a conflict with a friend, and now I feel a little upset. It's okay, Xiaoxue, you can do your own work and ignore me."

Seeing that Gu Tao didn't want to talk more, Fan Xiaoxue knew what was interesting and didn't ask any more questions.

In the study group, Qin Siyu was the first to notice that something was wrong between Gu Tao and Xu Jinghan.

She was originally thoughtful, and she had a little bit of admiration for Gu Tao, so she paid special attention to Gu Tao's every move.

One day, while Xu Jinghan was explaining the interview process to Dai Min alone, Qin Siyu sent Gu Tao a private message: "Brother Tao, have you and Mo Han had a conflict recently?"

Gu Tao was taken aback for a moment, then asked back: "Is it so obvious?"

Qin Siyu: "No, it's just that I always feel that the atmosphere between you is a bit weird, maybe it's a girl's intuition. [Smiling face]"

After being depressed for so many days, Gu Tao also needed an outlet, so he told Qin Siyu what happened over the weekend in a few words.

"How could Mo Han be like this, brother Tao is also trying to help him. It's too petty to be so coy." Qin Siyu was very upset for Gu Tao.

Not only was Gu Tao not happy when he heard this, but he frowned.

For some reason, seeing someone talking about Xu Jinghan always made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he unconsciously excused Xu Jinghan and said, "Jing Han can't be blamed for this, it's because I was too impatient and didn't manage it well. You Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Qin Siyu saw Gu Tao's intention to protect Xu Jinghan, and felt even more dissatisfied with Xu Jinghan in her heart, but she didn't dare to say more, for fear of offending Gu Tao.

Gu Tao still did not forget to ask: "Don't tell the rest of the team about this, so as not to affect everyone's unity."

Qin Siyu: "Don't worry Brother Tao, I won't talk nonsense."

After closing the private chat window and entering the group chat voice again, Xu Jinghan was teaching Cheng Xi a logical reasoning question.

Xu Jinghan first briefly explained the reasoning process, but Cheng Xi said he didn't understand it.Xu Jinghan quickly found paper and a pen, brushed a few times to draw a schematic diagram of the image, and then took a photo and sent it to the group.

A few minutes later, Cheng Xi's voice came from the voice channel: "So that's the case. Oh my god, I'm going to buy a few catties of walnuts to replenish my brain. It’s so hard to do it yourself, just listening to others explain it.”

Xu Jinghan comforted: "It's not your problem, it's because I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning. This question is very complicated, and there are several detours. Later, I used a more intuitive reasoning diagram. Didn't you understand it at a glance?" ?”

"Xiao Xu, you are really suitable to be a teacher. You are very patient." Dai Min, who had been silent by the side, suddenly expressed his feelings. "My husband tells me a math problem. If he doesn't understand it twice, he will get angry."

Cheng Xi didn't miss any chance to praise her master: "My master has a good temper and is handsome. He is the type that is most popular with girls now. By the way, master, when will you find me a master?"

"Student Cheng Xi, don't talk too far, there are still six or seven questions that haven't been discussed yet!"

"Huh? Brother Tao is here too. I haven't said anything for so long. I thought you had something to hang up."

Gu Tao coughed subtly, cleared his throat and said, "No, I just went to the bathroom, let's continue."

Two hours later—

"Ahh—" Dai Min yawned and said, "I'm so tired. I have to clock in for work tomorrow. It's easier for Gu Tao and Song Weidong to prepare for the exam full-time." Dai Min rubbed his stiff shoulders and neck, and suddenly remembered What, said: "By the way, why haven't you seen Song Weidong go online these days?"

Qin Siyu: "Sister Dai Dai said so - it seems that I really haven't seen Brother Song for a long time."

Song Weidong can be said to be the one with the weakest presence in the group.Except for occasionally asking Xu Jinghan some questions, most of the time he doesn't speak, let alone chatting in the group like Cheng Xi and Dai Min.

Gu Tao was busy fighting with Xu Jinghan these few days, so he didn't notice Song Weidong's absence.

"Let's go here first today, everyone rest early, and I will go to Song Weidong to ask about the situation."

The next morning, Gu Tao called Song Weidong.

After receiving Gu Tao's call, Song Weidong sounded uncomfortable: "What can Gu Tao want from me?"

Gu Tao said with a smile: "Everyone saw that you haven't been online for a few days, so I specifically asked me on behalf of the organization to ask you what's going on there?"

It took Song Weidong a long time to spit out: "I give up the civil service exam."

Gu Tao actually had a premonition in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking: "You have been working hard for half a year, why did you suddenly give up?"

"My cousin arranged for me to go to a construction company to manage files. I don't have a lot of work and the treatment is pretty good. Even if I am admitted to the civil service, my income is about the same."

"You have to think about it, this job has very limited career development."

The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, before I heard Song Weidong say sadly: "I understand what you said, but we are different, I am different from you and Siyu and others. You all grew up in the city They can afford to raise their children at home without working for two or three years, and they can slowly choose a job in the city they like and have potential for development. But for people like me who grew up in a remote rural family, work is survival.”

Song Weidong's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally choked up: "I'm not good at studying...not as good as Jing Han, nor like you and Siyu who can spend money to enroll me in various training courses...I really can't afford it. This Thank you for your help during this period of time, Gu Tao, please explain to everyone for me, thank you."

Gu Tao, who always claimed to be eloquent, didn't know what to say for a moment: "...you're welcome, we'll still be friends in the future, and we'll keep in touch when you have time. Take care."

"Come on, too. I wish you an early landing." After speaking, Song Weidong hung up the phone.

Gu Tao knew that this number would never ring again, and felt very uncomfortable, whether it was because of Song Weidong, or because of the cruelty of reality.

Nowadays, although the various selection and examination systems are becoming more and more transparent and fair, players stand on different starting lines from the moment they are born.Who is more likely to be admitted to a good university?

Even if they graduate from the same university and the same class, students from good families often have more choices and longer-term development than children from poor families.This is not just because the vision and pattern of children from poor families are not as good as those from those families.
