Chapter 30 Client
Chapter 30 Client
After Chen Chuan passed the school gate, he followed the crowd and the signboards. At every corner, there was an assistant teacher responsible for guiding him, followed by two students, and the school security guards kept a close eye on him.
He had been notified before that the re-examination location would still be the place where he had applied before, which was four old teaching buildings in parallel. He just didn't know which specific examination room he would be arranged in.
Soon, the candidates arrived at the passage in front of the old building. The assistant teacher here asked each student to report their student ID number. After checking it against the form, they were arranged to go to different examination rooms.
After Chen Chuan reported his number, he found out that he was assigned to examination room No. 4. He was also given a number plate with the handwritten number "No. 421" on it.
He had learned in advance that the number of candidates this year might reach 2,000. According to this, each examination room was estimated to accommodate about 500 candidates. So if the ranking was calculated based on a single examination room, he would appear to be at the back.
The two double doors of the examination room were open at this moment. There was no need to queue up to enter. When people walked in, they smelled a smell of disinfectant. The floor was mopped very clean. Rows of benches with backs to back were placed on the originally empty training ground. The curtains that were originally hung were drawn up, so that one could see outside clearly.
A female teacher standing at the gate said: "Boys sit in the blue seats, girls sit in the red seats, choose your own seats, don't fight with others, the exam order is not based on the order of seats."
Chen Chuan chose a seat slightly closer to the inside and sat down. He estimated that it would not be his turn for a while, and the seat at the door was also very inconvenient for candidates to come in and out.
The candidates who came in one after another also chose their seats. As they sat down one after another, people around them began to talk in low voices. He heard a lot of people speaking the dialects of the surrounding counties and towns.
But whether they are from Yangzhi City or from the surrounding counties and towns, they basically have one thing in common, that is, they are all students from common families, and each of them comes here to take the exam with the dream of crossing class boundaries.
A figure flashed by, and a candidate who was about the same age as him sat down beside him. However, after sitting down, he seemed a little nervous. He leaned over and raised his hand to greet him, "Hello, my name is Fang Mingming."
Chen Chuan also nodded and said, "Chen Chuan."
"Student Chen, I'm number 398, what about you?"
Chen Chuan showed him his number plate and said, "Number 421."
Student Fang showed a delighted look: "Hey, we are not far apart."
Chen Chuan nodded. This was quite normal, as people with later numbers would naturally choose to sit further inside.
At this time, all the candidates had come in and the two gates were closed.
Chen Chuan looked around and saw that the seats were full. Almost all those who were admitted to the school gave up on the re-examination, because the treatment would be completely different if you passed the re-examination or not. Only by passing could you go to a higher place. Even if you lack the strength, it would not prevent the candidates from coming and trying. Maybe they would pass with luck.
He looked around a few times but didn't see Weidong. He thought he might have been assigned to another examination room.
At this time, the female teacher who was standing at the door walked in front of the crowd. She had slightly dark skin and an ordinary face, but her braids were black and shiny. She walked lightly and agilely, and seemed to be unconscious of any sound.
She just stood there looking at everyone, with an indescribable aura in her eyes and expression. Although she didn't say anything, the candidates below felt the invisible pressure, and before they knew it, they fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, she said very seriously: "The examination rules have been stated in the information I gave you a few days ago. Now I repeat them again. In the examination room, no loud noises, no trouble, and no random walking are allowed.
From the time you enter the waiting area until the end of the exam, you are not allowed to leave the exam room without permission. If you violate this rule, you will be disqualified from the exam immediately. If the violation is serious, your qualification will be revoked as well.”
You could hear a pin drop in the examination room.
The female teacher paused for a moment before continuing, "All candidates are waiting here now. Take your number plate and report to the test center when you hear your name."
The candidates can only wait patiently.
However, more than three hours passed, and by ten o'clock, it still hadn't started. Chen Chuan couldn't help but wonder, "Is it an intentional arrangement, or is there some other reason?"
At the same time, in the auditorium, Gao Shi from the Admissions and Preparation Department, Yue Hong, Bian Feng and six other teachers in charge of the school examinations were waiting in front of the steps.
A black Junbie luxury car drove in from the gate and stopped in front of the auditorium. A middle-aged man in his forties with a narrow face got out of the car. He was wearing a black imported suit, hair gel on his head, and a pair of dark gray gloves on his hands.
Teacher Gao said, "Commissioner Jiang, we have been waiting for a long time."
Commissioner Jiang said, "Oh? Are you not late?"
A teacher named Ning who was in charge of communication said hurriedly: "It's just the agreed time. Commissioner Jiang is very punctual."
Jiang said, "That's good. Shall we start now?"
"Okay, please sign it."
Teacher Ning hurriedly handed over the documents he had prepared.
The assistant beside Commissioner Jiang stepped forward, took it, and placed it in front of him.
Jiang Weiban is a third party hired by the school board to oversee the school's external enrollment assessment. The re-examination must be signed by him before it can proceed. However, nowadays, this identity is more like a financial donor and exercises power on behalf of the donor.
He saw two lists on the folder. The upper one was the list of candidates for the entrance examination in the old building, and the lower one was the list of recommended students in the auditorium.
Without even glancing at it, he took the top sheet aside and directly picked up the list of recommended students. He glanced through it carefully, then looked up and asked, "Have all the candidates in the auditorium arrived?"
Teacher Ning said, "Everyone was here five minutes ago."
Commissioner Jiang said, "Then let's test the recommended students first. There has to be a first come first served rule. Besides, there aren't many of them, so it won't take much time to finish the test." As he said that, he took the pen handed over by his assistant, quickly signed on the form, and then put the cap back on the pen, leaving the second list there without touching it.
Teacher Ning looked at him and hesitated to speak.
Teacher Gao didn't say anything about this, he just said: "Then hurry up."
Jiang said, "Okay, we can't keep the candidates waiting for too long." He looked at his watch and said, "It's a quarter past ten. I hope the teachers and students who are the examiners will be more responsible and try to finish within an hour."
In the reception hall of the auditorium, dozens of recommended students were staying in this well-lit room. They sat on the sofas, and the white porcelain teacups on the table were wafting with the refreshing aroma of tea. In the corner was a phonograph playing soothing and melodious music, and their followers would come up from time to time to pour tea and add water.
A senior student sent by the school was staying with them. This person was naturally a recommended student.
The recommended students waited for more than ten minutes and then got bored. Someone asked, "Senior Jiang, I heard that many students were admitted to Wuyi this year?"
Senior Jiang said: "As for the expansion of enrollment, of course it is increasing year by year."
"Then there should be a lot of students receiving funding from the Mutual Aid Association this year, right?"
Senior Jiang laughed and said, "It depends on personal choice. We never force anyone."
The student raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is there anyone else who is unwilling?"
Senior Jiang smiled and said, "This is quite normal. Those who are unwilling to accept the exam show that they are confident that they can pass the retest on their own. This is good. People have to rely on themselves. Just don't complain when the time comes."
At this time, another candidate said impatiently, "Why are you so slow? Isn't it just a formality? What time is it already?"
There were footsteps outside the reception room, and a man who looked like a senior school official walked in. He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Dear candidates, the retest will begin now. Please enter the test center in order according to your numbers."
There are a total of six examination windows in the auditorium. After confirming the start of the exam, the assistant teacher starts calling out numbers.
One candidate was a little absent-minded. When his number was called, he didn't pay attention. The attendant behind him quickly reminded him: "Master, it's your turn."
The candidate complained, "What a hassle!" He stood up from his seat and walked into the aisle, but only five minutes later, he walked out.
Someone asked curiously: "Xiao Ran, how is it?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and said disdainfully: "What else can I do? I haven't even warmed up yet and it's over."
Someone joked, "You seem to have nowhere to vent your anger, why don't you go hunting later?"
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, "Okay."
The recommended students were soon called to the next batch. They went in one by one and came out quickly. In about three quarters of an hour, all the assessments were over. However, the subsequent sorting and cleaning took another half an hour.
Seeing that it was almost over, Teacher Ning found Committee Member Jiang again and said, "Committee Member Jiang, the assessment here is over. Can we start the admissions in the old teaching building now?"
Jiang Weiban looked at his watch and said, "It's almost noon, let's go have a meal first."
Teacher Ning said, "Commissioner Jiang, look, there are so many examinees waiting over there? They came here early in the morning..."
"how?"
Commissioner Jiang was surprised and said, "The Wu Yi candidates have no patience at all? We are testing more than just the candidates' martial arts skills."
"This……"
Teacher Gao spoke decisively: "Ning Guo, Yue Hong, you two should accompany Commissioner Jiang to dinner."
"Ok."
Teacher Ning and Yue Hong had no choice but to agree.
While waiting for Jiang Weiban to leave with his men, a teacher said, "Teacher Gao, this..."
Master Gao said: "Don't come to me to complain. The client is someone sent by those guys to disgust us. Just do your own job well."
Bian Feng said: "But there are so many candidates waiting."
Teacher Gao glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with waiting a little longer? He's right about one thing. Do the candidates from Wu Yi have no patience left? If you can't wait, go back early. No one will stop you."
