He Lanfang protested in a low voice: "I... I was just trying it out, I didn't compete with Xiaomin."

Guo Hongtao said with a "tsk tsk" sound: "You forgot, when we first heard of Xiaomin's name, she took all the junior high school students in the educated youth center to take the high school graduation exam. If you want to go to college, you can ask her to tutor you, but I'm afraid she won't agree."

This is an attempt to sow discord.

Zhu Xiaomin looked up at her and smiled without saying anything.

He Lanfang immediately said, "What do you know? What don't I understand? Xiaomin never hides anything from me. She will teach me."

"Really?" Guo Hongtao was surprised. She looked at Zhu Xiaomin several times and said nothing more.

But when He Lanfang walked away, she came closer again and asked Zhu Xiaomin in a low voice: "Are you really tutoring Xiao He? Don't be silly, this is competition, aren't you afraid that she will be better than you?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled instantly: "There are so many colleges and universities in the country, and Xiao He is not applying to the same school or major as me, so how can he squeeze me out?"

"That's the same. You've been in the countryside for so many years and have limited time to read. If Xiao He does well in the exam, wouldn't that steal your limelight?" Guo Hongtao continued.

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "I just want to get into college, not to be in the spotlight." Seeing He Lanfang come in, she ignored her.

At this moment, He Lanfang had already asked how to register, and I told her excitedly.

When they joined the company, Zhu Xiaomin had taken a photo, and so had He Lanfang. The two of them didn't need to take photos again. They took a leave in the afternoon and went directly to register.

Now that everything is done, all that’s left is to wait to get the admission ticket and then take the exam.

He Lanfang was indescribably excited. As she followed Zhu Xiaomin home, all she could think about was the college entrance examination and going to college.

After dinner, He Lanfang went to the other room to review her lessons. After Jiang Sao packed up her things, she came over and asked anxiously, "Xiao Min, you...you are going to Beijing for an exam, I...I..."

Zhu Xiaomin immediately said, "I have to go to school, so I can't take care of Xiaoyi anymore. Of course you come with me."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looking somewhat disappointed. She sighed and said, "I was thinking that after the New Year, maybe Niuniu and Xiaochen could really be brought over..."

It turned out that he was worried about his children.

"Mrs. Jiang!" Zhu Xiaomin shook her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll go to Beijing and take the children there. The teachers at the university also have children, so they naturally have schools there."

"Really...really?" Mrs. Jiang opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Of course, and if I were going to college, I wouldn't have to run around like I do now. If I bring the child over, we can take care of him."

Mrs. Jiang listened and nodded repeatedly, her brows relaxed, her face full of joy.

After two months in the countryside and doing a lot of work, Zhu Xiaomin and He Lanfang took three full days to organize and submit the materials.

After Lv Haigen carefully read it, he gave his approval and called Zhu Xiaomin over, asking directly, "I heard that you are going to take the college entrance examination?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to give it a try."

Lü Haigen nodded and sighed, "When the Yunzhong Newspaper reported on the corn experimental field, Director Pei praised it at the meeting. We were thinking of promoting you, but we didn't expect you to leave."

Promotion, if an ordinary clerk is promoted, that would be to deputy section chief.

Zhu Xiaomin was also a little surprised and immediately said, "Director Lu, this is the organization's affirmation and trust in me. Whether I leave or not, I am very grateful."

"So, you still want to take the exam?" Lu Haigen asked.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I have already signed up."

Lv Haigen looked at her with admiration, smiled and shook his head: "If you fail the exam, it will show that we as leaders do not support you, but if you pass the exam, we will be short of a capable person. Even I don't know whether I hope you will pass the exam or not."

Zhu Xiaomin was speechless, and then she smiled unconsciously: "Director Lu, if I fail the exam, the facts will make me realize myself and make me work more steadily. If I pass the exam, it is also inseparable from the organization's training. In fact, both are good things."

Lu Haigen laughed out loud, pointed at her, and said with a smile: "No wonder Secretary Yang said that you not only have a smart mind, but also a clever and eloquent mouth."

Is this the evaluation Yang Haozhong gave her?

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned.

As the two were talking, Ding Lifei came in from outside, glanced at Zhu Xiaomin, sat down at his seat, took a sip of water from his cup, looked at Lv Haigen with a half-smile, and then said, "Old Lv, you didn't expect that the talent you cultivated with so much effort would want to fly away now that his wings are strong."

He's so weird, I really want to strangle him to death.

Zhu Xiaomin glanced at him and said to Lv Haigen, "Director Lv, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to work first."

Lv Haigen nodded and waved his hand to signal her to leave, but he didn't wait for her to leave. He smiled and said to Ding Lifei, "Director Ding, what you said is too narrow-minded. If the talents we trained can fly out, we will also be proud, right?"

Director Lu, you are learning and applying what you have learned!

Zhu Xiaomin could hardly hold back her laughter, and hurriedly opened the door and went out, then gently closed the door.

To return to the office of Section 2, Zhu Xiaomin had to pass by the door of Section 3. As soon as she walked past, Guo Hongtao followed her out and whispered, "Xiaomin."

This woman is here again!

Zhu Xiaomin sighed and looked back at her.

Guo Hongtao quietly approached her and whispered, "Xiaomin, I've also signed up for the college entrance examination. You have to tutor me later!"

This was a big surprise. Zhu Xiaomin was stunned, looked at her, nodded and said, "It's working hours and I'm too busy to take care of it." Then he turned and left.

"Hey, I was talking about after get off work. Didn't Xiao He go to your house to review? I'll go too from today." Guo Hongtao followed immediately.

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head and smiled at her apologetically: "Sorry, I have children at home, it's not convenient."

"If Xiao He can go, why can't I?" Guo Hongtao asked.

Zhu Xiaomin paused, turned around and looked at her and said, "Because Xiao He and I get along well, he is never sarcastic, never instigates behind my back, and never tries to trip me up. You are different." After saying that, he ignored her and turned into his office.

Guo Hongtao stamped her feet in anger and said bitterly through gritted teeth: "Do you think you can definitely pass the exam? If you can't, won't you still have to stay here? Why are you so proud?" She turned around and walked away angrily.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't raise her voice to shout, but she didn't lower it either. Several people in the office had heard it. Jiao Xianglan shook her head helplessly: "Why do you care about her?"

Zhu Xiaomin rubbed his brows and said, "It's not me who cares about her, it's her ghost that's haunting me."

Jiao Xianglan was about to say something, but when she saw He Lanfang coming in from outside, she had to stop.

He Lanfang didn't pay attention to the atmosphere in the office. She excitedly took a letter to Zhu Xiaomin and said, "Xiaomin, your letter is from Beijing. Is it from Comrade Lu?"

Lu Mingzheng?

Indeed, after she wrote a letter to Lu Mingzheng before going to the countryside, she never received any more letters from him.

Zhu Xiaomin took it casually, and when she saw the handwriting on the envelope, her heart started pounding and she couldn't tell whether she was surprised or happy.
