Time flies, and itwas the day before the test.

Beijing Cancer Hospital, Oncology ward.

Dong Xuebing continued to study under Grandpa Hu. GrandpaHu's son was the examiner in Shanghai, andGrandpa Hu seemed to have the experiencedand had researched into these essay questions. This was why Dong Xuebing forcedhimself to memorize everything he said and listened attentively. The lessonshad changed from Dong Xuebing asking questions, to Grandpa Hu asking questionsand Dong Xuebing answering them. The questions asked by Grandpa Hu was not fromthe materials. It was not sure where he got those questions. Sometimes, GrandpaHu would tell him about the rules and responsibilities of the variousgovernment departments. This was to let Dong Xuebing understand what the dutiesof a Civil Servant were.

"... The data presented to you is about our citizensmisbehaving while on holiday overseas. Using the data, write a suggestion tothe head of the Tourism Bureau. The required answer needs to be relevant andimplementable. It needs to be concise and not more than 400 words. Try toanswer it."

Dong Xuebing starts to answer.

Grandpa Hu shook his head and pointed out where he got itwrong and then told him the answer in his mind.

Dong Xuebing wanted to write Grandpa Hu's answer down, buthe was stopped by Grandpa Hu. "You don't need to record it down. You need tounderstand the general direction of my answer and the important points in theargument. Once you understand the answer, you will automatically remember theanswer. Do you still have any questions? Good. I will give you one morequestion to test you. China has rich resourcesin the surrounding sea, but our Per capita income is low. Bo Sea is China'sbiggest inland sea. It is crucial to the economies of the Northeast region..."

Afternoon.

Grandpa Hu coughed and asked: "Did you remember everything?"

"Yes." Dong Xuebing quickly pass a few pieces of tissues toGrandpa Hu.

Grandpa Hu smiled and patted Dong Xuebing on his arm: "Yourfriends and classmates are also taking this test in Beijing with you? Keepeverything I taught you to yourself. Don't tell your classmates. Hahaha. Thisold man's knowledge is limited, andthat's everything I can teach you." Trace back the roots of this material to n0v$lbin

"You are too modest. Ireally learned a lot from you." Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose embarrassedly andcontinued: "I do not have many friends as I did not stay at my university. The classmates I knewwerenot interested in being a civil servant. They had already found jobs in theprivate sector. I am the only one still dreaming of entering the governmentservice. Sorry for troubling you the past few days. I really appreciate yourhelp. Thank you."

Before Dong Xuebing left, Grandpa Hu patted his shoulder andsaid: "Do well for the test. China's future will depend on you youngsters."

Dong Xuebing nodded.

"Are you even qualified to speak here?" Section Chief Xustared at Dong Xuebing. "You have dirtied my shoes, and you still want to argue?"

"You are the one..." Dong Xuebing was about to continuearguing when his mother pulled him back.

Mrs. Xu tried to calm the situation: "Old Xu, why are youarguing with a kid? We are all neighbors. Let it rest." Mrs. Xu turned to DongXuebing's mother: "Xiaoping, we are off for our dinner. You should not placeyour garbage outside your house. This is not right. Don't do it again."

Dong Xuebing's lungs were about to burst. That Chief Xu wasthe one who kicked the garbage bag, andhe wants to blame his mother?

Section Chief Xu used a napkin to wipe his show and turnedaway: "Fuck. Let's go. The car is waiting."

Xiao Dong looked at Dong Xuebing and his mother scornfullyand followed his parents down the stairs.

Dong Xuebing's mother just smiled at them until they disappearedfrom her view. She quickly closes the door and sighed. "Xuebing, we can'tafford to offend them. You...

Dong Xuebing was still pissed: "What sort of person is he?Government officials can be unreasonable?"

"Sigh..."

In the evening, Qu Yunxuan returned from work and knocked onDong Xuebing's door. She was carrying bags of vegetables and meat.

These few days, Qu Yunxuan had integrated into DongXuebing's family. She hadbecome closer with Dong Xuebing and his mother.They would have dinner together and would joke and chat. It was like a family.

"Yunxuan, eat more." Dong Xuebing's mother picked somevegetables and place in her bowl.

"Sis Luan..." Qu Yunxuan hesitated for a while and askedworriedly: "When I was on my way back, I heard from the lady downstairs said...What happened?"

This apartment building was an old building built in the1980s. The soundproofing was not verygood, and neighbors could hear each otherclearly. Dong Xuebing's mother tapped Qu Yunxuan's hand: "Yunxuan, listen tosis. If you are looking for a boyfriend, don't ever look for someone like XiaoDong. I am not talking behind their backs, but they are all bullies..." DongXuebing's mother told her what happened just now.

Qu Yunxuan frowned after she heard what happened. She heldLuan Xiaoping's hand and sighed: "I know that family is all not decent people. I have not told anyone else. Do you knowthat Xiao Dong is wooing me? But I had rejected him several times. A few daysago, I met Section Chief Xu at the supermarket on my off day. He pointed at mein the face and said. Don't think you are somebody because my son likes you. Itis your honor for my son to like you.... He still said many nasty things. I...Sighed...."

Dong Xuebing clenched his fist: "Does he thinks that he isthe mayor or governor?"

"Let's not talk about him." Qu Yunxuan smiled sweetly andtook a napkin and wiped off a grain of rice on Dong Xuebing's face. "Tomorrowis your test. You must do your best and not let that Xu family look down on you.Show them that not only Xiao Dong can enter the government service. Our XiaoBing can also do it!"

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and replied: "Don't worry. Iwill surely pass the test!"
