Chapter 289 Written Examination
On the day of the written exam, the exam location was packed with people, and the entire street was almost full.

Because of time constraints, Ning Yun made a rule.

Once you pass the test at the entrance, you can go in to take the written test.

You can only participate in the interview after you pass the written test.

The test at the entrance was also very simple.

Ning Yun had over a hundred notes written and placed in the box.

Those who want to take the written test will randomly take two slips of paper from a box, and can only enter if they read both correctly.

This method is very simple and can directly filter out those who want to take advantage of the situation.

I thought there wouldn't be many people attending.

To my surprise, everyone was even more enthusiastic than I had imagined.

Most people can be identified as ordinary by their clothing.

After considering it for a while, Ning Yun decided to split the written test into two days.

Anyway, she designed the exam paper herself, so she wasn't worried about leaking the questions at all.

Chad and Renata arrived just in time for the first day's written test.

Both of them were literate and quickly passed the initial screening.

The examiner at the door handed them a token, saying, "With this token, you can go in and take the exam."

Renata was surprised. "No, you don't need to pay?"

Fearing she wouldn't have enough money, she sold her most prized necklace when she arrived in Motown last night.

She used the money to buy paper and pens, and kept the rest as registration fees.

The examiner glanced at her and said, "The city lord is merciful; this written exam is completely free. You should go in quickly and not block the people behind you."

Chad quickly pulled Renata inside, "Come on, we need to pick a good spot!"

The examination venue is clearly marked, with signs along the way; just follow them to get there.

Chad was immediately impressed by the new city lord. "To achieve this much in such a short time, this city lord seems quite capable."

Renata said with a hint of helplessness, "Chad, I know you're very smart, but it's better to say these things in private than here."

Chad was extremely arrogant; even the previous city lord was described by him as "mediocre."

She reminded him because she was afraid he might say something inappropriate.

Chad rolled his eyes at the sky again. "Fine."

The two arrived at the door and found that there were many people taking the exam this time.

However, everyone was assigned to different rooms.

There were many tables and chairs inside; I wonder which noble family they came from.

Suddenly, a loud bell rang outside.

The examiner told them to hurry inside and find a seat.

In his hand was a thick stack of papers.

Judging from the looks of it, it must be the exam paper.

Chad noticed that the examiners were well-trained and didn't seem to be doing this for the first time.

Moreover, his demeanor is unlike that of an ordinary person.

He wasn't wrong; the examiner in charge of this exam was a teacher brought over from the Chinese camp.

He has at least participated in proctoring the college entrance examination several times.

The bell rang again, and the examiner handed out papers to the person at the front of the line.

"After the exam papers are handed out, write your name and address first, read the instructions carefully before answering. If one sheet of paper is not enough, raise your hand and I will give you another one."

"You are not allowed to copy other people's test papers or whisper to each other. If I find you cheating, you will be disqualified from the exam and expelled from the exam room."

The examiner paced back and forth, explaining the requirements clearly.

When the bell rang for the third time, the examiner nodded, "Now, you may answer the questions!"

Renata quickly flipped the exam paper over and found that there was only one question on it.

"If you were an official in Mo City, how would you plan to develop it?" What kind of question is this?
Renata flipped through the questions twice more and found that there were indeed no other questions.

The other people in the exam room had similar reactions to Renata.

I looked at the exam paper over and over again several times; the only sound in the exam room was the rustling of exam papers being turned over.

The examiner reminded them, "There is only one question in this exam. There is no word limit. The exam will end in 40 minutes. Even if you haven't finished, you still have to hand in your paper."

Upon hearing that time was so tight, many people couldn't wait to start answering the questions, afraid that they wouldn't be able to finish.

Chad's relaxed state vanished, replaced by a furrowed brow as he pondered the city lord's intentions.

The city lord wants to select qualified officials, so this question is very appropriate.

However, this question is not easy to answer; if it is not easy, it will become empty rhetoric.

Therefore, we shouldn't aim too broadly, but rather raise specific questions and then analyze them in detail.

Chad didn't rush to answer the question; he first cleared his mind.

Seeing him like this, Renata breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew Charlie's personality: arrogant and impatient.

I was afraid he hadn't thought the question through carefully before giving a hasty answer.

Fortunately, Chad managed to stay calm in the crucial moments.

Renata focused intently on her exam paper, and after a moment's thought, she picked up her pen to answer.

The examination room was very quiet, with only the sound of pens scratching against paper.

The examiner nodded in satisfaction; the scene was indeed quite similar to the previous college entrance examinations.

As a teacher, seeing such a scene again evokes a mix of emotions.

Or should I apply to come to Motown myself and continue being a teacher?

The examiner sat at the back of the room, keeping an eye on the candidates, but occasionally his mind would wander.

Forty minutes passed quickly, and the bell rang again.

The examiner stood up. "Alright, everyone put down your pens and stop answering questions. If you don't, it will be considered cheating!"

Chad put down his pen and let out a long sigh of relief.

"I almost didn't finish writing it."

The examiner asked the last person in the room to pass the exam papers forward, one after another.

The process continued until the person at the very front collected all the exam papers and handed them to the examiner.

The examiners told them not to move and to stay seated.

After counting all the exam papers and confirming that every single one had been handed in, he nodded.

"The exam results will be released in 3 days, and the interview will be held in 5 days. Remember the time and don't miss it."

After saying that, he put the exam paper into his bag and left the examination room.

Once he left, voices gradually began to fill the examination room.

Chad came to Renata's side and said, "How was it? You must have done well on the test. I saw you finished in 30 minutes."

Renata nodded. "I've written down everything I wanted to say, but I don't know what the city lord thinks."

She had a very good impression of the newly appointed city lord and hoped to pass the exam so that she could meet him.

Little did they know, a man nearby overheard their conversation and couldn't help but scoff.

"Two lowly commoners, actually wanting to become officials, ha."

He was dressed elegantly, so he must come from a well-off family.

Renata pretended not to hear, not wanting to get entangled with this kind of person.

Chad, however, was not one to back down. "We don't know if we can pass the exam, but someone like you who can't even squeeze out 100 words in 40 minutes definitely won't pass."

The person next to him was scratching his head and looking like he was about to raise his hand to go to the bathroom after 10 minutes of the exam.

If people like this can get into the program, then Motown has no future and is just waiting to be swallowed up.

"You!" The man was about to stand up and argue.

Renata pulled Charlie away, saying, "We still have to get going; we can't afford to be late."
