Atlas of Heaven and Man

After passing through the academy gate, Chen Chuan followed the flow of people and the signs. At each turn, there was an assistant teacher responsible for guiding, followed by two students, and the school security guards were watching closely.

He had already been notified that the re-examination location was still at the place he had previously applied to. The examination site was four old teaching buildings lined up side by side, but he didn't know which examination room he would be assigned to.

Before long, the candidates arrived at the entrance of the passage in front of the old building. The assistant teachers here required each student to report their student ID number. After verification against the form, they were assigned to various examination rooms.

After Chen Chuan reported his number, he learned that he had been assigned to Examination Room 4. At the same time, he was given a number plate with the handwritten number "421" on it.

He had learned in advance that there might be as many as two thousand candidates this year. According to this, each examination room was estimated to hold about five hundred candidates. If the ranking was based on a single examination room, he seemed to be quite far behind.

The two double doors of the examination room were open at the moment. There was no need to queue to enter. After people walked in, there was a smell of disinfectant. The floor was mopped very clean. Rows of chairs with backrests were placed in the originally empty training ground. The original curtains were drawn up, and the outside could be seen very clearly.

A female teacher standing at the entrance said, "Boys sit in the cyan seats, girls sit in the vermilion seats. Choose your own seat, don't fight with others. The order of the exam is not arranged according to the seat order."

Chen Chuan chose a seat slightly inside and sat down. He estimated that it would definitely not be his turn for a while, and the entrance was very inconvenient with candidates coming in and out.

The candidates who came in one after another also chose their seats. As one after another sat down, people around began to talk in low voices. He heard many dialects from the surrounding counties and towns.

But regardless of whether they were from Yangzhi City or the surrounding counties and towns, they all had one thing in common: they were all students from ordinary backgrounds, and each of them came here to take the exam with the dream of crossing social classes.

A figure flickered beside him, and a candidate of about the same age as him sat down next to him. However, after sitting down, he seemed a little nervous. He turned sideways, raised his hand and greeted him, "Hello, my name is Fang Zhiming."

Chen Chuan also nodded and said, "Chen Chuan."

"Student Chen, I am number 398, what about you?"

Chen Chuan took out his number plate and showed it to him, saying, "Number 421."

Student Fang showed a happy expression: "Hey, we are not far apart."

Chen Chuan nodded, but this was also quite normal. People with later numbers would naturally choose to sit further inside.

At this time, all the candidates had entered, and the two doors were also closed.

Chen Chuan looked around, and the seats were full. Almost no one who had passed the school entrance exam gave up the re-examination, because the treatment was completely different whether they passed the re-examination or not. Only by passing could they go to a higher place. Even if their strength was insufficient, it would not prevent candidates from coming to try their luck, maybe they would pass?

He glanced a few times and did not find Wei Dong, presumably he should have been arranged in another examination room.

At this time, the female teacher who was originally standing by the door walked to the front of everyone. Her skin was slightly dark and her appearance was ordinary, but her braids were black and bright. Between walking, she was light and agile, and she seemed to feel no sound.

She just stood there looking at everyone, and there was an unspeakable aura in her eyes and expression. Although she hadn't spoken, the candidates below felt an invisible pressure, and unknowingly, there was no sound.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, she said very seriously: "The examination rules have been stated in the materials given to you a few days ago. Now I will reiterate it again. Within the examination room, no loud noises are allowed, no disturbances are allowed, and no random movements are allowed.

From the moment you enter the waiting area until the end of the exam, you must not leave the examination room without permission. If you are found to be in violation, your exam qualification will be immediately cancelled, and if the circumstances are serious, your student qualification will be cancelled as well."

The examination room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The female teacher paused for a while before saying again: "All candidates are now waiting here, hold your number plates in your hands, and go to the exam center to report after hearing your name."

The candidates could only wait patiently.

However, this wait lasted for more than three hours. It was already past ten o'clock, and it still hadn't started. Chen Chuan couldn't help but think: "Is this intentional, or is there some other reason?"

At the same time, here in the auditorium, Gao Shi, Yue Hong, Bian Feng and the other six teachers in charge of the school's examination at the recruitment office were waiting in front of the steps.

As a black Junbie luxury car drove in from outside the gate and stopped in front of the auditorium, a middle-aged man in his forties with a narrow face got out. He was wearing a black imported suit, hair gel was smeared on his head, and he was wearing a pair of dark gray gloves.

Gao Shi said, "Committee Member Jiang, we have been waiting for a long time."

Committee Member Jiang said, "Oh? Am I late?"

"Okay, please sign, Committee Member Jiang."

Teacher Ning hurriedly handed over the prepared documents and materials in her hand.

Committee Member Jiang's assistant stepped forward to take it and placed it in front of him.

Committee Member Jiang was a third party hired by the school's board of directors, responsible for supervising the school's external recruitment and assessment. He had to be present to sign for the re-examination to proceed. But now, this identity is more inclined to the fund donor and represents the donor in exercising power.

He saw that there were two lists on the folder. The top one was the list of candidates for the entrance exam on the old building side, and the bottom one was the list of recommended students on the auditorium side.

Without even looking at it, he took off the top one and directly picked up the list of recommended students, carefully browsing it, and looked up and asked, "Have all the candidates here in the auditorium arrived?"

Teacher Ning said, "They all arrived five minutes ago."

Committee Member Jiang said, "Then let's test the recommended students first. There must be a first come, first served basis. Besides, there are not many of them, and it won't take much time to finish the test."

With that, he took the pen handed over by the assistant and quickly signed the list, and then directly capped the pen, leaving the second list untouched.

Teacher Ning looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Gao Shi didn't say anything about this, only said, "Then hurry up."

Committee Member Jiang said, "Okay, we can't keep the candidates waiting for long." He raised his watch and looked at it, and said, "It's 10:15 now, and I hope that the teachers and students who are serving as examiners this time will be serious and responsible, and we will try to finish it within an hour."

In the reception hall of the auditorium, dozens of recommended students were waiting in this well-lit room. They were sitting on sofas, and the white porcelain teacups on the table were filled with tea fragrance that invigorated the spirit. A phonograph was placed in the corner, and soothing and melodious music was playing inside. The followers they brought would also come up from time to time to pour tea and add water.

A senior student sent by the school was staying with them. This person was naturally a recommended student.

The recommended students felt very bored after waiting for more than ten minutes. Someone asked, "Senior Jiang, I heard that there are many students who have been admitted to Wuyi this year?"

Senior Jiang said, "With the expansion of enrollment, of course, there are more and more each year."

"Then there should be many students who have received funding from the Mutual Aid Association this year, right?"

Senior Jiang chuckled and said, "This depends on the individual's choice. We never force it."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

The student raised his eyebrows and said, "What, are there still people who are unwilling?"

Senior Jiang said with a faint smile: "This is also quite normal. Those who are unwilling to accept it show that they have the confidence to pass the re-examination on their own. This is very good. People must rely on themselves, but don't complain when the time comes."

At this time, another candidate said impatiently, "Why is it so slow? Isn't it just a formality? What time is it?"

Footsteps sounded outside the reception hall, and a person who looked like a senior school official walked in. He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Candidates, the re-examination will begin now. Please enter the examination center in order according to your number."

A total of six examination windows were set up in the examination hall here. After confirming that the examination had started, the assistant teacher began to call the numbers.

One of the candidates was a little absent-minded and didn't notice when his number was called. The follower behind him quickly reminded him: "Young master, it's your turn."

The candidate complained, "It's so troublesome." He stood up from his seat and walked into the passage, but after only five minutes, he walked out from the inside.

Someone asked curiously, "Xiao Ran, how was it?"

Xiao Ran shook his head and said disdainfully, "What else could it be? I didn't even warm up, and it was over."

Someone joked, "Looking at your look of nowhere to vent, why don't we go 'hunting' later?"

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, "Okay."

The recommended students were quickly called to the next batch. They went in one by one and came out very quickly. In about three quarters of an hour, all the assessments were over, but the subsequent sorting and cleaning up took another half an hour.

Seeing that it was almost over, Teacher Ning found Committee Member Jiang again and said, "Committee Member Jiang, the assessment here is over, can the admission on the old teaching building side begin?"

Committee Member Jiang looked at his watch and said, "It's almost noon, let's go have a meal first."

Teacher Ning said, "Committee Member Jiang, look, there are so many candidates waiting over there? They came early in the morning…"

"What?"

Committee Member Jiang said in surprise, "Don't the candidates of Wuyi have this much patience? What we want to test is not just the candidates' martial arts level."

"This…"

Gao Shi decisively opened his mouth and said, "Ning Guo, Yue Hong, you accompany Committee Member Jiang to have a meal."

"Okay."

Teacher Ning and Yue Hong had no choice but to agree.

Waiting for Committee Member Jiang to leave with people, a teacher said, "Gao Shi, this…"

Gao Shi said, "Don't come to me to complain. The clients are those guys who are specially sent to disgust us. Just do your own thing."

Bian Feng said, "But there are so many candidates waiting."

Gao Shi glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with waiting for a while? He's right about one thing. Don't the candidates of Wuyi have this much patience? If you can't wait, go back early, no one is stopping you."
