Chapter 286: The Exam

Though You Yifan held a military position and didn't seem too flashy in daily life, in reality he and his family secretly controlled many well-known trading companies at the port, and that kidnapped manager was a very important cash flow transit point for the You family. This was why You Yifan had lost composure when this person was kidnapped.

However, this kind of matter wasn't within Su Tianyu's consideration at all, because he wasn't You Yifan's man - Yu Mingyuan only had a cooperative relationship with him, so he didn't need to worry about everything for the other side.

After everyone finished giving statements at the Zha'nan District Police Department, You Yifan said goodbye to Yu Mingyuan and others before hurriedly leaving - presumably to urgently handle the manager's kidnapping incident.

Yu Mingyuan couldn't help with this matter and You Yifan had no intention of discussing details with him, so after chatting a while at the entrance, everyone prepared to leave. As for the remaining problems, naturally the You family's big figures would worry about them.

On the way back, seeing Su Tiannan very quiet, Yu Mingyuan specially comforted him several times, continuously saying not to mind You Chengcheng's words. Because in their cooperation, this woman had no say, so there was no need for Su Tiannan to be angry with her.

Su Tiannan appeared very quiet, but actually had no psychological burden about this matter, because he never thought his choice was wrong. Given the situation then, they didn't know how many people the other side had, and Su Miaomiao was in the car - he absolutely wouldn't let his sister risk danger with him.

What had originally been a pleasant banquet ended hastily after the You family incident. It was said that after hearing about this matter, Gui Mengjun actually booked a temporary flight ticket, preparing to return the next day. His reaction was enough to show that with the exhibition about to begin, undercurrents were already surging within the circle.

......

In the following days, Su Tianyu stayed in seclusion studying hard on past Maritime Police exam questions, because the civil service exam was about to begin - he had to take the written test.

During this period, Dog Six neither went to the association nor followed Yu Mingyuan to build relationships and socialize - he only focused on hugging his computer, frantically studying materials.

Fortunately Su Tianyu was young, and having graduated from the Army Academy not long ago, his peak learning ability hadn't passed, so he learned very quickly.

In the blink of an eye ten days passed. On September 1st, the first round of civil service exams began. Su Tianyu was assigned to the third test site beside the city government building - there were over a hundred candidates in the same period, divided into three test rooms.

At 9:30 AM, the exam began. The first session's questions and test core all revolved around political aspects - Su Tianyu found it not difficult at all. Because when he tested for Army University before, there were similar papers, and the previous questions' difficulty couldn't compare to Army University's.

The first session ended quickly - Su Tianyu was quite satisfied with his performance. At noon he left the test site, went to the small restaurant across the street for three bowls of spicy soup and two portions of lamb paomo, then continued in the afternoon.

The second session was the Maritime Police paper - though some professional questions were quite difficult, fortunately Su Tianyu had prepared thoroughly so handling them wasn't too rough.

Actually under normal circumstances, given Su Tianyu's current relationship with Li Mingsheng, if the latter gave just a slight hint, he could likely have gotten the Maritime Police test questions before the written exam. Because Dragon City's current social conditions were such that with power and money, any outrageous thing could be worked out.

But Li Mingsheng perhaps intentionally wanted to test Dog Six, so during the written test stage, he hadn't instructed Li Yuan to give any special treatment. And Su Tianyu himself was also determined - if you want to test my ability, then I'll do even better to show you.

Some people might not be clear what kind of questions units like Maritime Police give - actually this category of exam questions was very broad.

For example, multiple choice questions would ask when Dragon City's first Maritime Police force was officially given its flag - below would be four specific dates to choose from. Another example - the essay questions would give you real case examples, then give you a very limited choice environment, having you make decisions about an emergency incident.

This kind of questions wasn't different from police recruitment exams around the world before the New Era - broad questions and very random, so this paper really tested knowledge reserves and learning ability.

Dog Six, wanting to prove himself, took the exam sweating profusely, emotions surging.

After the second session ended, Su Tianyu immediately went out to find Dabai, beginning city-wide wild partying until returning home at midnight.

In the next two days, Su Tianyu took four more sessions continuously, performing stably overall.

......

September 5th.

After finishing the weekly meeting, Li Mingsheng held his teacup, walking out of the conference room with measured steps.

Behind him, Li Yuan very knowingly said: "The civil service results are out but not yet announced."

Li Mingsheng paused, replying with a smile: "Ah, I forgot - Little Su finished the exams, right?"

"Yes, finished."

"How were the results?" Li Mingsheng asked casually while walking.

Li Yuan paused slightly: "Better than I expected."

"Really?" Li Mingsheng raised his eyebrows: "How good?"

"First in written test among 1,400 people in Zha'nan District. City-wide rankings haven't been tallied yet, but he should rank in the top fifty," Li Yuan replied with a light laugh. "Mainly because Longkou has more 'capable people' taking up many spots - otherwise Little Su's ranking could be even higher."

"Haha!" Li Mingsheng laughed loudly: "This kid's not bad - wasn't bragging. For a military roughneck to get these results is quite good!"

"Yes, yes. I chatted with him a few days ago - mainly he had many trivial matters recently, time available for studying was less - otherwise he probably could have done even better," Li Yuan said grinning. "His learning ability really is quite strong - after all, he's a top student from Army University!"

"You're quite close to him?" Li Mingsheng instantly caught the key point.

Hearing this, Li Yuan thought to himself: "This capitalist life has corrupted me! Just because Su Tianyu found himself a few women, I can't help speaking up for him!"

"Someone you pay attention to, I naturally must pay attention to," Li Yuan replied very cleverly.

Li Mingsheng glanced at Li Yuan: "It's good to interact, but watch your crotch!"

"...Leader, don't joke."

"Haha!" Li Mingsheng made a point then didn't mention this matter again, only walking toward the distance adding: "Since he has this ability, give what help you should give."

"Understood, Leader!"

......

September 12th, written test results came out - Su Tianyu received the Maritime Police interview call.

After working so long, Su Tianyu had finally touched the door of the system!
