Chapter 12: Thank you for telling me this news

  There was a sentence in the work of a Taiwanese writer that left a deep impression on Lu Yan: "The waiting time is like the sleepless black night, helpless and endless." And this sentence was used on the day when Lu Yan waited for the announcement of the civil service examination results, which was indeed the most appropriate.

  Since that day when he had dinner with Lin Xiaoyun, Lu Yan never went out again. Lin Xiaoyun went to Hong Kong and the civil service exam was over, now Lu Yan didn't know what to do, every day was spent at home surfing the internet. During this time a game called dota became very popular, Lu Yan couldn't bear the loneliness and started playing dota, unexpectedly he got hooked from the start and couldn't stop, deeply trapped in this competitive game.

  Friends who are familiar with Dota should all know that as a Dota player, when fully concentrating on a game, the most feared thing is to receive a phone call.

  This time, Lu Yan was having a great time on the battle platform, playing as a hero called "Void Mask" for the first time. He was already "godlike" in less than 20 minutes. This was another perfect opportunity, and with one big move, he trapped two enemy heroes under his own tower. Seeing this "harvest" rhythm again, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. With such a great situation, he was only one step away from achieving his ultimate goal: "Transcending the God's Slaughter".

  "Ding——" The phone on the table rang inopportunely at this moment, Lu Yan was distracted for a split second and had one of his heads stolen by his teammate. The ultimate skill also ended at this time, another "prey", with a black blood bar on its head, ran past into the woods.

  "I'm going." Lu Yan cursed extremely uncomfortably, glanced at the phone on the table that was shouting hoarsely, and turned his head to continue chasing after the enemy.

  Konghou has the skill "Time Travel", which allows him to instantly jump in front of his enemy from a distance. Lu Yan Zheng is thinking of using this skill to give his opponent, Dead Blood, a fatal blow and complete his own "Super God" feat.

  "Almost, almost there, just a little bit more!" Lu Yan operated his hero, constantly playing a game of hide-and-seek with the opponent. Finally, Lu Yan found an excellent opportunity, and with just one jump, he could block the opponent's high ground path along the river, ensuring their certain death.

  "Ding----" The phone on the table rang again, vibrating and ringing at the same time. The table also shook slightly, causing Lu Yan's hand to slip, and he missed his target. He could only watch as his opponent walked away with a smile.

  "Damn it!" Lu Yan cursed loudly and operated the drone to fly back home with his right hand, while picking up the phone with his left hand.

  "Hello, who is this? Speak quickly." Lu Yan barked into the phone.

  "Hello, are you Lu Yan? I'm from the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security. You passed the written test for the Xizhou Provincial Civil Service Examination, please prepare for an interview next Monday." The voice on the phone was sweet and feminine.

  At this time, Lu Yan's mind was still on DotA, operating his hero while making "en" and "ah" sounds to respond.

  "What? What did you say? Did I pass the interview?" Suddenly, Lu Yan reacted and realized that the phone was talking about something related to the civil service examination. He reflexively sat up straight and shouted into the phone.

  "Excuse me, could you repeat that? I didn't quite catch it earlier." Lu Yan concentrated fully and said into the phone.

  "You have passed the written examination of the civil service exam, and we notify you to attend the interview on time. The results of the written test and the interview notice are all published online, so it's best for you to take a look yourself." The voice on the phone was still the same as before, but this time the other person's tone was somewhat impatient.

  "Alright, I understand, thank you." Lu Yan hung up the phone, and this time, he finally understood what was going on. On the computer screen in front of him, the virtual avatar "Kong Que" had been killed by three heroes who had arrived because no one was controlling it, and the dream of being a "super god" had been completely shattered. In their team's channel, his teammates were scolding Lu Yan. But now Lu Yan couldn't care about that anymore, he hastily quit the game, as there were more important things to do.

  With an excited heart, Lu Yan opened the website of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Xizhou Province. The short 18-digit admission ticket number, Lu Yan actually entered incorrectly 4 times, it can be seen how tense he was at that time.

  "Composition: 75 points, Logical Reasoning: 81 points, Total Score: 156 points" When the webpage finally loaded and this line of scores popped up, Lu Yan felt like his heart had really reached his throat.

  With a score of 156, this is already a pretty good result. Although there is no specific ranking for the position, the Provincial Youth League Committee only recruits one person, and with an interview ratio of 1:3, being notified to take the interview should mean being among the top three. Lu Yan was still satisfied with this score, the only regret being that it's still unclear what his actual ranking is in the written exam.

  Things often turn out to be so coincidental, when you want to know something, someone just happens to tell you. Just as Lu Yan was entangled in his own written test ranking, a phone call helped him solve this problem.

  "Hello, I'm Lu Yan." Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, Lu Yan thought it was someone from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security again, and didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately picked up the phone and introduced himself.

  "Are you Lu Yan? I'm Zhu Yansi, the third place in this civil service examination for the provincial party committee position. I want to make a deal with you." The voice on the phone was very magnetic, but the content of the speech made Lu Yan somewhat surprised.

  "Do we know each other? What deal is this?" Lu Yan asked tentatively.

  "Let me put it this way, although you are the first in the written test, but this time the provincial party committee position is something I must get. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I'll give you a compensation of 1 million yuan, and you withdraw from the interview." The other person seemed to be seeking Lu Yan's opinion, but there was no room for negotiation in his tone.

  Listening to the other person's words, Lu Yan's heart suddenly burst into flames, but he was also very curious about how the other person knew that he was first and had contact information. So Lu Yan calmed down his emotions and said on the phone: "Sorry, I think we don't need to talk anymore, because I don't know who you are now, and I'm not sure about the truth of what you're saying."

  "Is your name Lu Yan? Did you score 156 points on the written test? I know your information, which means what I'm saying is absolutely no problem. Let me tell you the truth, my connections are very strong, and next week's interview judges have already been notified. The second place has already taken the money and left. If you're smart, you'll also take the money and leave quietly like others." Zhu Yansi was still very arrogant, but his tone carried a hint of urgency, which Lu Yan keenly picked up on.

  "One hundred thousand is too little, isn't it? My 156 points are only worth this much?" Lu Yan would not give up the opportunity for an interview, he said this just to get a few more words out of Zhu Yanzhi's mouth.

  "Not enough? Alright, I'll give you 1.5 million. The second place guy had 145 points and I just gave him 200 thousand to send him off." Zhu Yansi heard Lu Yan negotiating the price and felt happy in his heart. For him, problems that could be solved with money weren't a big deal whether it was more or less.

  Lu Yan was overjoyed, the second place only had 145 points, and Zhu Yansi in third place was left behind by more than ten points. The second place probably thought it was hopeless to surpass himself and was happy to take the money and leave, while he, with a lead of over ten points, wasn't afraid of anything.

  "I'm 11 points higher than the second place, thank you for telling me this news, it's the most wonderful news for me. I've taken note of your kindness, but the deal you just proposed, I clearly tell you not to even think about it, and I tell you, I also have a strong desire to get this position!" Lu Yan said after finishing these words, he hung up the phone and turned off his mobile phone. Next, he was going to start playing dota well and move towards the goal of becoming a "super god".

  (Xiao Jie said I myself am a Dota fan, are there any other Dota fans like me? We can go to the 11th floor together.)
