Chapter 6: Civil Service Exam Coaching Class

  After having breakfast, Han Qin went to the tiered classroom in the library. The civil service examination tutoring class organized by the school started today. Such tutoring classes are very popular now, and if he had gone later, he might not have even been able to get in the door.

  Although it was almost an hour early, the large classroom was already half full of people, and there were also bags placed on the empty seats. Han Qin naturally understood the rules, this is a unique scene in university, occupying seats!

  No wonder, currently a civil service examination coaching class in society charges several thousand yuan, all those who take the civil service examination are excellent students, usually going to self-study rooms in advance, let alone saving several thousand pieces of real money. The school's employment department specially invited authoritative figures who have revised national examination papers to explain the answering techniques for public servants and thesis statements to help these poor students.

  Found a corner, Han Qin thought she'd stand for one class! A chubby girl with glasses looked at Han Qin and moved a backpack next to her, saying: "Classmate, you sit first, my roommate might have something going on and can't make it."

  The female classmate thanked her and sat down with a pen and notebook, ready to listen. The female classmate chatted: "Senior brother, which college are you from?"

  Han Qin smiled and said, "I'm from the Faculty of Literature and History." After a pause, out of politeness, he asked back, "And you, classmate?" The female classmate replied with surprise and delight, "I'm from the School of Computer Science and Information Technology. Our school's name is not easy to abbreviate, you know what I mean."

  When the female classmate said that, Han Qin almost burst out laughing! They all called the College of Computer and Information Technology "Ji Yuan" behind their backs, a name that was prone to misunderstandings, which the female classmate found hard to use.

  Jian Qin only took out his notebook, but no textbook. The female classmate asked with concern: "Senior brother, which version of the national exam guide are you using?"

  Han Qin replied, "I haven't bought the textbook yet, I don't know which version is more suitable. Classmate, what version are you using?" This question wasn't purely out of politeness, Han Qin was very clear that these bespectacled female classmates in college were truly diligent in their studies and had real talent and learning, and those who could get into graduate school were also these bespectacled girls, unlike those beauties who just enjoyed life.

  The female classmate leaned over, brought her teaching materials over and smiled: "I bought 'Deserted Island', I also flipped through a lot of other teaching materials, but I feel that this one is the most authentic."

  Han Qin flipped through the teaching material, noted down the book title and publisher, thinking of buying one too.

  The teacher who is supposed to give the lecture has not arrived yet, and the students who are listening in have started whispering to each other about rumors of the civil service exam and the dark side of society.

  In front of Han Qin was a thin boy with two very good-looking white gold earrings on his ears. The earring classmate sighed, "What's the use of just studying theory here? The key is that interview session, all the tricks are there. If you don't have connections, even if you're ranked first, you'll still be washed out!"

  Earring classmate's high theory got a lot of people's approval, and everyone also put forward many vivid examples.

  After repeated calls, the lecture expert finally arrived. The head of the school's employment guidance department first introduced a string of titles for the expert, saying that this expert had once given Shandong Lun exam questions to 13 provinces, and the expert took time out of his busy schedule to give lectures to students, asking everyone to cherish this precious opportunity!

  After everyone applauded, the expert began to lecture. However, this expert's lecturing level and his reputation were really mismatched, speaking in a dull and tasteless way, making people drowsy. If this class were held on an ordinary day, probably half of the students would have fallen asleep.

  Half an hour passed, and Han Qin still didn't understand the key points of what this expert was saying. He only remembered that the expert emphasized several times that everyone should buy a reference book called "Ten Years Grinding a Sword, National Examination Guide". It wasn't until he heard his classmates discussing it that he realized the expert was actually the compiler of this book. If it weren't for selling this book, he wouldn't be giving a free lecture!

  Before the expert finished speaking, Han Qin had already left the scene. Seeing someone take the lead, dozens of people followed suit, leaving the employment director who accompanied the expert throughout the event frowning in dismay!

  As soon as he entered the Xinhua bookstore, the most eye-catching ones were the tutoring books for postgraduate entrance exams and national civil service exams. Among the numerous tutoring books, Han Qin spent a lot of effort to find that set of "Deserted Island Treasure Hunting - National Examination Guide".

  She flipped through the mock test questions and Qin used her mind to activate the super work assistant system. Hu Mei scanned these questions with a glance, and they didn't have any difficulty at all, just like a high school student doing first-grade homework. For those seemingly tricky argumentative essays, Hu Mei thought for a moment before giving out insightful and uniquely angled arguments.

  Han Qin was overjoyed, with the help of the super system, he thought it would be hard not to come in first! However, thinking about what he heard in class that the key to civil service recruitment is the interview, he sighed again. He knew his own situation clearly, and didn't have any useful social resources at all. Hopefully these are just rumors! But then he thought again, and his heart was surging with excitement, with this super work assistant system, where couldn't he achieve great things?!

  Lost in thought, someone gently bumped into Han Qin from behind.

  He turned his head to see a beautiful girl standing behind him, pouting her lips. It was Yu Lei. Yu Lei was holding several large books, all of which were about the national civil service exam. Han Qin suddenly remembered that Yu Lei had said her family wanted her to take the civil service exam too, and it seemed she had also come to sell study guides.

  "Hello!" Han Qin smiled and said.

  "Han Qin, you're so engrossed. Is there really a Yan Ruyu and a Golden House in the book?" Yu Lei teased.

  Yu Le once said that as long as she passed the civil service exam, her father would buy her a sports car, so it must be a wealthy family.

  Han Qin smiled faintly and said, "I say you're a rich family's thousand-jin miss, why don't you enjoy your blessings and instead worry about taking the civil service exam to compete with us poor people for a rice bowl?"

  "Stop, stop! Now civil servants are the most sought-after, haven't you seen online surveys? For girls looking for a partner, being a civil servant is the top priority. It's a benchmark for whether a profession is good or bad. My dad said that even if he had some money, he'd just be a local tyrant, doing business with risks of gains and losses. But being a civil servant is different, the country takes care of everything from birth to death. Dad said that with my personality, I could squander a mountain of gold. If I can pass the exam, he'll die in peace!"

  Hearing Yu Le say this, Han Qin couldn't help but burst out laughing. He didn't expect this little girl to be so humorous!

  The two of them left the bookstore laughing. Yu Lei said that she wasn't afraid of the civil service exam at all, and that the most difficult part was the essay section. She had never passed a composition test since third grade.

  Yu Le looked at Han Qin and begged: "Han Qin, your analytical and inductive abilities are so good, guess the topic of the argumentation for me."

  Han Qin's heart skipped a beat! He nodded and said: "Alright, I'll give it a try. But let's get the ugly words out of the way first, if I go off topic later, don't blame me!"

  Just then, a little flower girl followed and begged: "Uncle, buy a bunch of flowers!" Han Qin waved his hand, he had no one to give the flowers to now!

  The little girl looked at Yu Le and said loudly: "Uncle, look how beautiful your girlfriend is! Why don't you sell a bunch of flowers to give to her?" As soon as the little girl spoke, Han Qin's face immediately turned red!

  Knowing that these little flower girls were controlled by others, if they couldn't finish their tasks, they would be beaten and starved. It was really pitiful. Han Qin put his hand into his pocket to touch two coins to send the little girl away, but he didn't find any!

  At the most embarrassing moment, Yu Lei had already taken out a 10-yuan note from her bag and handed it to the little girl, saying softly: "Little sister, we're not buying flowers now, go buy something to eat." The little girl thanked her repeatedly and walked away happily.

  Han Qin glanced at Yu Lei, his little face also flushed! Han Qin dryly laughed: "This little girl..."

  Yu Lei seemed very natural, as if nothing had happened at all, still chatting and laughing.

  When breaking up, Yu Le smiled and said: "Han Qin, contact me when you're done, this is my QQ number." She handed a piece of paper to Han Qin.
