Chapter 6: Auxiliary Police Examination
The 7 o'clock sun in the morning brought new vitality to this ancient city of six dynasties. Chen Fan moved out of his rented house because he had already dropped out of school. The subway station was crowded with people, slowly queuing up to buy tickets, some going to work, others going to school. Chen Fan also experienced it and wondered if he would be queuing up every day in the future.
At 7:30, Chen Fan walked out of the subway station and followed the crowd to exit. Ten minutes later, the examination hall came into view. Chen Fan showed his admission ticket and went in. Many people were already chatting with each other, while some others looked on coldly.
"Don't bother, my brother-in-law is the captain of a squad, and he's already reserved a spot for me." A slightly chubby man with a dog-licked hairstyle looked at everyone with a smug expression.
Chen Fan didn't say anything either, it seemed that there were some changes compared to the previous dreams, could a butterfly effect have occurred? He shook his head again, dispelling this idea.
"Hey kid, how are you going to handle this? Do you want your brother to help you?" Chen Fan didn't say a word, but the guy actually took a step forward and started flattering him.
"Thanks! I don't need it for now." Chen Fan said indifferently.
"Hehe, you'll be a great show to watch, no need to pretend to be noble." Zhu Tuo said with a pleased smile and turned around to leave, following behind him with an unceasing smile, hoping to get promoted.
It seems this exam won't go smoothly!
7:45, candidates start to enter the exam room, ID card and admission ticket in hand. Chen Fan enters the 4th exam room, seat number 16, not bad. Although Chen Fan is not superstitious, it's still a good start.
"Psst, buddy, I'll pass the answers to you in a minute, and I guarantee you can get into the Jijing Branch Team." Chen Fan's back suddenly hurt, turned around, damn it, it was actually that fat guy from earlier. Hearing his words, Chen Fan looked somewhat annoyed, really treating Jijing like it was his own family business.
Chen Fan didn't notice the commotion behind him, his head lowered as he continued to scribble randomly on the table. The annoying guy in the back might have muttered a curse when Chen Fan ignored him, but when he turned around, he was shocked - there was no one behind him! What the... How are we supposed to take the test?!
"Brother, help me out, I'll definitely treat you to a meal after my exam." Zhu Tou Rong looked pitifully at Chen Fan, not expecting the guy behind him didn't show up, and could only rely on him. In his heart, he decided, after the exam, just wait and see how I deal with you.
Chen Fan continued with his head down, he was really annoyed in his heart, hateful guy.
"Alright, hurry up and hand in the exam materials." A middle-aged man wearing a police uniform said, looks like this exam is quite formal.
But there were still people who handed over the small notes they carried with them, only to be met with a cold stare from the invigilator, telling them to hand it back. Zhu Tou Rong also looked at him with disdain, and on the table was an exam material that he didn't even notice.
"Ding ding......" It started at 8 o'clock, and this exam will last a total of two hours, with a full score of 100 points.
The test papers were slowly distributed, but the invigilator obviously paused for a moment at Zhu's place. The candidates began to fill in their names and exam numbers, and it wasn't until 8:10 that the exam officially started.
Chen Fan looked at the test questions that he had done countless times, and his pen moved as if possessed by a spirit. aBdcaBacaBdBdBdB…… Before twenty minutes had passed, nearly two hundred questions were completed. Chen Fan started filling out the answer sheet. Just as the time reached half an hour, Chen Fan stretched his waist.
"What's up?" Chen Fan heard it and originally said it was me!
"Teacher, I've finished. Can I hand it in?"
"Huh, done already? So fast?! Alright, hand it in!" The proctor was also taken aback, glanced at his watch, and half an hour had already passed. Actually, it didn't necessarily need to be half an hour, this was just an internal exam within the department, even if you took it out, it wouldn't be useful. Good job, bro! Less than half an hour, nearly 200 questions all done. Especially that shout from the teacher was refreshing, the young man is not bad.
Chen Fan handed in the first exam paper without taking away a single word. Zhu Tou Rong looked at his back, and was even more resentful.
In the afternoon administrative comprehensive ability test, Chen Fan also finished in less than half an hour and handed it in after checking. These were still very simple for him, tomorrow's driving skills test is what tests a person's reaction ability.
The next day, the drawing test began. Chen Fan drew No. 58 and should be able to take the test in the morning. Many people behind him also went back. The exam was held at a driving school, which was relatively strict. There were two invigilators in the monitoring room, and there were also two invigilators on site.
Chen Fan sat bored in the waiting room, not nervous at all. As long as he didn't get zero marks, he would pass the exam. Unlike when he took his driver's license test before, his heart was racing like it was going to jump out of his chest. He had suffered so much for just a driver's license.
"Hey kiddo, how was your written test yesterday?" Zhu Tou Rong smiled and came to Chen Fan's side, his already small eyes now just a slit. Chen Fan ignored him, thinking that he'd rather rest than deal with this. Ignoring him didn't mean the matter would go away.
"You're so capable! Yesterday, you didn't pass the answers to your grandfather, and I almost couldn't finish. If you can become a collaborator, your grandfather will follow your surname." Zhu Tou Rong looked at Chen Fan's calm demeanor on the fishing platform and became even more furious, scolding loudly.
"No talking, otherwise you will be disqualified from the exam." The proctor said after hearing the noise.
"Report, leader, this candidate insulted me unjustly." Zhu Tuo Rong pushed the blame to Chen Fan.
"Oh, is that so? Alright then, this candidate, please leave, you don't need to take the exam this time." The proctor took a look and saw it was Zhu Tou Rong, who often came to the squadron to play around, so he gave him some face.
It's Chen Fan's turn to be stunned, well! It's really a snake and rat in the same nest! Yesterday in my dream, I was disqualified because of a quarrel, luckily Captain Zhi saved me, otherwise I might not have made it through. They really treated me like a piece of clay.
"I didn't say a word, leader, I just sat here and he kept insulting me. I believe you will understand what's right and wrong." Chen Fan also wasn't some naive newcomer to the official scene, and his last sentence also had a hidden meaning.
"I told you to leave, just leave! What's with all the nonsense?" The proctor said expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Ah......" Chen Fan was speechless, these people were really too ruthless, he had never heard of being driven out for just a few noisy sentences. Were the current traffic police more arrogant than the city management?
"Xiao Liu, what's wrong?" Zhou Hua walked into the waiting room and heard a loud commotion, furrowing his brow. Were people nowadays really so restless?
"Oh, the captain is here. It's because of a dispute between two examinees and I'm mediating." He brought up Chen Fan's mistake with just one sentence, without caring whether you were right or wrong.
"Alright, let's just forget about this matter. If there's a next time, we won't even need to test. Our squad doesn't need idle people." Zhou Hua said calmly after scanning the room.
"Alright, I'll arrange it." Xiaoliu hastily replied, and Chen Fan's crisis was temporarily averted.
"Attention, candidate number 58, please get ready for the exam. We will make an announcement once more, and then candidate number 58, please proceed to the waiting area."
Chen Fan heard the broadcast in the room, quickly got up, pushed open the door and walked into the venue. Zhu Tou Rong had finished his exam, his ears were clear, otherwise he didn't know what would happen again. Now he was under a lot of pressure.
Chen Fan looked at the row of parking bays, clenched his fists and silently encouraged himself. He first stood in front of the surveillance camera to take a photo, got into the car, started the engine, and completed a series of actions within one minute. The time limit for the parking test was ten minutes, which meant that Chen Fan had passed the test.
"Number 58 candidate has passed, please come to the venue and prepare for the exam."
Chen Fan got off the car and walked to the venue. There were still many people in front of him, because the venue had strict requirements. Nine small projects must be qualified, otherwise they will be eliminated directly. Of course, there will also be a chance for a re-examination, but very few people can pass all at once.
Chen Fan heard the radio calling his name, and he also took a photo under the surveillance camera at the test site. He opened the car door, started the engine, first doing fixed-point parking, then half-slope starting, followed by a series of small projects, and finally side parking. When Chen Fan stopped the car at the starting point, he knew he had passed.
But is it really so?
