It was midnight. Recommendation Tickets urgently needed.
Qu Family.
Living room.
Mom, startled, hurriedly asked, "What happened? What on earth happened?"
Qu Yunxuan froze. "You passed the Civil Servants exam? Weren't your Administrative Aptitude Test and essay scores bad?"
"Well, cough cough, it wasn't that I did badly. You misunderstood. None of you ever asked how I did from beginning to end." Dong Xuebin smiled awkwardly. "Later, I figured the interview still wasn't certain, so I didn't tell you. I didn't want everyone getting happy for nothing. Um, I went out the morning before yesterday, right? That was for the interview. They asked a few questions, and I didn't answer too well. Plus, I was ranked fourth, so I thought I probably wouldn't make it. Who knew they'd call just now and tell me to report to the Chengxi Branch Bureau next Monday. They said I'd been accepted."
Mom grabbed her son's hand, her lips trembling. "You really passed? You're not lying to Mom, are you? You're not lying to Mom?"
Dong Xuebin said, "Heh, how could I dare lie to you?"
Aunt Xu's mouth stiffened. "Could there have been a mistake? You passed the written exam? What score did you get?"
Dong Xuebin looked at the two of them. "My Administrative Aptitude Test and essay scores added up to nearly 130."
"130?" Dongzi sucked in a breath. "You scored 130?"
"Such a good son, such a good son!" Tears streamed down Mom's face. Crying, she excitedly grabbed Qu Yunxuan's hand, not knowing what to say. "Yunxuan, did you hear that? Xuebin passed! Xuebin passed! My son is a Civil Servant!"
"I heard, I heard." Qu Yunxuan wiped away her tears for her. "This is a good thing. Don't cry."
Mom's tears would not stop. "I'm happy. I'm happy."
