Chapter 3 The Wind Blowing Through the Years It’s not that my alma mater, South China University of Technology, is bad. After all, it is a 985 university. It’s just that CUHK is more cost-effective. South China University of Technology is a pure science and engineering school, while Sun Yat-sen University is a comprehensive university. The admission score lines for some majors in Lingnan College and Medical College have exceeded the admission lines of Peking University and Tsinghua University. "Zhongda Lingnan" is even known as a business school at the same level as "Peking University Guanghua". Its MBA has trained many corporate executives. It is highly recognized not only in the five provinces in southern China, but also in Hong Kong and the international community. But then, Chen thought of a question: If I can really get into CUHK and change the school and major, do I still need to take the civil service exam in the future? Or to be more direct, even if you continue to work at the Chinese Workers' College as before, will you still be a civil servant? The reason why I took the civil service exam was that after graduating with a master's degree, I found several jobs but was not satisfactory to any of them. When I was extremely confused and doubtful, I happened to sign up for the provincial exam. Just like all graduates, if you can't find a good job, then try to take the civil service exam. Unexpectedly, I was admitted successfully in the end. "If I had a job with a monthly salary of 1 yuan at that time, I probably wouldn't have taken the provincial exam." Chen was thinking quietly. Working within the system has advantages and disadvantages, and it mainly depends on personal positioning and choices. The advantages are:
Guaranteed income, certain social recognition, and the ability to find connections when children are studying or relatives are in the hospital... If you live in a small fifth or sixth tier city, being a civil servant actually brings a pretty high level of happiness. Of course, there are disadvantages: The salary is not high enough to barely make ends meet, overtime is heavy and there is no overtime pay, and many times you really have no choice within the walls, and the higher the position, the greater the pressure... Sometimes, I would toss and turn in my mind many times over a casual remark from my superior. Now that I have been reborn unexpectedly, should I still take the civil service exam in the future? Chen Zhuo frowned and turned the pen around and around until the ballpoint pen accidentally fell to the ground with a "pop". Chen Zhuo made up his mind instantly. "The first choice is definitely not to take the civil service exam!" It's only 2007 now. I know the social development trends in the next decade or so. I have been immersed in the system for many years, and my skills and abilities in handling problems are unquestionable. Why do I need to follow a routine to gain experience? When I was in college, I could start planning things. Who would take the civil service exam after being reborn? After more than a decade of walking on thin ice in the system, can't I enjoy myself now? Then the music and the In fact, even the second choice is not to take the civil service exam, but to be a selected student. It is a basic national policy that all civil servants must take exams, but selected candidates can get extra points based on their performance in college. Therefore, Chen Zhuo thought that he could clear all the links to become a selected student while studying at university. This includes the relationship between the college and the school, the relationship between important departments such as the Personnel Department and the Student Affairs Office, and even the relationship with the Student Union, etc. For ordinary college students, these seem far away from their lives and they have no idea how to start; But for Director Chen, he can find a point of entry among the intricate interpersonal relationships. At the same time, I also started my own business. If I become Chen Busi in four years, then I will have to become an entrepreneur. If it's still just a minor incident, it doesn't matter. I will just go and be selected as a trainee. ······ Chen Zhuo made an important decision about his life, but unfortunately he couldn't share it with his good friend Huang Baihan. He simply turned his excitement into motivation and kept working on the questions. After finishing the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry, I took out the Chinese and English papers from the last monthly exam and studied them.
As for English, I still don’t understand the things I shouldn’t understand; It was the Chinese test paper. He looked at it for a while and his face became as confused as a bun. For example: Even middle school students know that the next sentence of “I am often a guest in a sad autumn thousands of miles away” is “I am alone on the stage after suffering from many illnesses for a hundred years”. Why did I forget it at that time? There is also the poem "Yangzhou Slow", in which the author clearly expresses his sorrow for the destruction caused by war and his longing for peace through the description of the prosperous scene of Yangzhou in the past. Why do I feel that the poet was attracted by the prosperous and lively scenery of Yangzhou City and expressed a feeling of joy? Finally, the composition is outrageous! I actually wrote an article that is so off topic? Huang Baihan noticed that Chen Zhuo had been staring at the Chinese test paper with a gloomy expression. He turned his head to look at him, then patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't look at the past papers. The mock exam will be held in two days. You should follow my pace in your Chinese review recently. You should memorize what I memorize. This will at least help you break the 100-point mark." Although Huang Baihan's scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry were not as outstanding as Chen Zhuo's, his Chinese and English were not that bad either. He was relatively average in all subjects. In the end, he was admitted to South China University of Technology, but his major was not as good as Chen Zhuo's. Chen Zhuo glanced at Pu Xin's rhubarb and said nothing. Soon it was 9:, time for the evening self-study get out of class to end. Chen Zhuo and Huang Baihan were both day students. They were not only deskmates, but also dining partners and walking partners home from school. Chen Zhuo vaguely remembers that if one person wanted to take a leave, he had to find a partner for the other person in advance: ——I’ve taken a day off for lunch today. I’ve made an appointment for you. You can go have lunch with XXX later. Thinking about it now, it seems both silly and immature. At this time, in the campus after school, the moonlight is bright and the starry sky is dotted. High school students are walking in twos and threes on the tree-lined avenue, either pushing their bicycles or carrying their schoolbags. Sometimes they talked loudly, sometimes they whispered in low voices, they exuded a vigorous and positive energy, and their smiles were full of anticipation for the future. Perhaps this is what a real young man is like, ignorant of the immensity of the world, conceited and talented, and although he claims to be romantic, he is also frank and sincere. In such an atmosphere, Chen Zhuo wanted to hum some pop songs. In fact, the campus radio station plays songs at this time every day, and tonight is no exception. Soon, Jay Chou's "Hair Like Snow" came from the roadside speakers: Your hair is as sad as snow. Farewell Who is touched by my burning incense? Invite the bright moon to make memories bright love is perfect in the moonlight For many years to come, the song "Hair Like Snow" has always been very popular. It was still on the playlist in 2024. Now I suddenly go back to 2007 and hear these familiar lyrics again. In a trance, Chen Zhe had a feeling of being blown by the wind of time. "Why don't you leave?" Huang Baihan looked at Chen Zhe who was standing in a daze under the street light and couldn't help but turn around and urge him. Chen ran a few steps to catch up, and then asked Huang Baihan: "Da Huang, do you feel that even though the sound quality of the school radio station is very poor, the songs it plays are always better than those in the headphones?" "Have it?" Huang Baihan does not have enough life experience, or he is in this experience himself, so it is difficult for him to empathize with the character. After all, one cannot have both youth and the feeling of youth at the same time. ······ There was a bus stop right in front of the school. The two got on the bus and found a seat to sit down. There are very few passengers at this time, and the occasional ones are hard-working workers who are working overtime. They look tired. Some lean against the windows to rest, while others lower their heads to flip through their Nokia phones, which still have blue screens. Everyone seems to be a separate island, sitting separately and never intersecting. When Chen Zhao first started working, he often worked overtime until late at night, and he deeply understood the loneliness of taking the late-night bus.
They went on like this for several stops. Normally at this time of day, the two would chat about a lot of campus gossip, but tonight Chen was not in a talkative mood and often looked out the window at the neon lights and fell into deep thought. "what happened?" Huang Baihan smiled innocently and said, "I feel like you've been acting weird tonight, as if you've been heartbroken. I was thinking, Yu Xian doesn't have a boyfriend either." In fact, Chen Zhuo had a crush on a girl in high school. She was not Song Shiwei, but an art student named Yu Xian. She is not only beautiful, but also bold and coquettish. Her personality deeply attracts a sultry otaku like Chen Zhe. Huang Baihan knew this secret, and like all good friends, he often teased Chen about it. At that time, Chen Zhe was also shy, and whenever Huang Baihan mentioned "Yu Xian", Chen Zhe's face would blush with shyness. Whenever Huang Baihan saw Chen's reaction like this, he felt a sense of satisfaction that his prank was successful. Just now... Looking at the overjoyed Huang Baihan, Chen Zhuo sighed, and suddenly stretched out his arm to considerately help Huang Baihan straighten his collar: "I'm not heartbroken, I'm just thinking about something, one of which is related to you." "It's about me? What's going on?" Huang Baihan believed it and blinked his eyes, feeling puzzled by Chen's behavior. "I find" As Chen spoke, he picked up the schoolbag unnoticed. When the bus arrived at the stop, he suddenly slapped Huang Baihan on the face and cursed, "You are an idiot!" "Hold!" Huang Baihan stood up and was about to fight back, but Chen Zhe had already calculated the time and jumped off the bus, and the bus door was locked with a creak. "Damn it! You wait for me tomorrow!" Huang Baihan had no choice but to open the car window and threaten. "good night!" Chen didn't even turn his head, just stretched out his arms and waved them casually twice. The evening breeze blew the open school uniform, and the boy's back looked tall and slender under the street light. Huang Baihan was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he felt that his friend seemed to have changed. ······ (Another photo taken around 8pm, asking for all kinds of support for the new book, Dragon King really needs your support!)
