Rebirth: My college entrance exam score was stolen? I turned the tables and made a billion.

After leaving the Municipal Education Bureau, Chen Jianguo's official car drove around the city for quite a while.

After wandering around for a while, we finally got back onto the national highway leading to the county.

Chen Jianguo sat in the back seat, his expression shifting between light and dark as the car swayed.

Just now in Director Wu's office at the Municipal Bureau, he confidently assured everyone that he would cover all the "activity expenses."

After that, naturally, they wandered around.

He was so excited while walking around that he didn't realize it, but now that he's calmed down and done the math, his heart is bleeding.

"Damn it, those heartless bastards who eat people alive!"

Chen Jianguo gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

To become a powerful deputy director in the municipal education bureau, the amount of money needed to bribe officials at all levels...

He carefully calculated the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

He usually helps teachers in remote rural schools transfer to other positions, and uses connections to get a few people into good schools in the county seat. He scrapes together a few tens of thousands of yuan to save for his funeral.

This time, to pave the road, they'll probably have to sacrifice a large portion of their resources!

The thought of his money going into someone else's pocket made Chen Jianguo feel a sharp pain in his heart, making it hard to breathe.

However, upon further reflection, the knot in his brow gradually loosened.

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

Whether he stays in the county as the deputy county head in charge of science, education, culture and health, or is transferred to the municipal education bureau as the deputy director, his power will be much greater than it is now.

Once you reach that position, the resources, funding, and personnel transfer power you control—aren't they all just easy money?

"What we send out now, we can get back many times over later."

Chen Jianguo tried to comfort himself.

Then, the gloom on his face vanished, replaced by an excited thirst for power.

After a while, the car entered the county town and drove directly into the county education bureau.

Chen Jianguo, carrying his briefcase, stood ramrod straight and walked upstairs with a pigeon-toed gait.

I had just pushed open the office door and hadn't even had a chance to put down my teacup when I heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Enter."

Clerk Xiao Wang pushed open the door, sweating profusely, holding a stack of documents stamped with a red seal, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.

"Director, something's come up!"

Xiao Wang put the documents on his desk, and he was even a little out of breath.

Chen Jianguo, on the other hand, sat down slowly and deliberately, picked up his enamel teacup and blew on it.

"What's the panic? Tell me, what is it?"

"The provincial admissions office has sent an urgent document!"

Xiao Wang braced himself on the table with both hands and lowered his voice.

"This year's college entrance examination results for the entire county have been delivered to our bureau's confidential room by a special postal vehicle!"

"What?!"

Chen Jianguo's hand holding the cigarette trembled suddenly, and he didn't even notice the ash falling onto his trouser leg.

"Have we arrived?"

"Absolutely true!"

Xiao Wang nodded repeatedly.

"The seals on the secure room have just been checked."

"According to the procedure, the principals and academic affairs directors of each high school will come to the bureau early tomorrow morning to collect the report cards, which will then be distributed to the students who come to pick them up."

Chen Jianguo took another deep drag of his cigarette.

The college entrance exam results are coming out! Great!

It's my son's matter, I'm determined to take him!

After all, he had already arranged for all the files and documents to be switched in advance.

As long as the report cards are released tomorrow, his son Chen Defu can just wait to go to university.

"Okay, okay!"

Chen Jianguo stubbed out his cigarette.

"Remember, secrecy must be maintained; no one is allowed to open it beforehand!"

"Don't worry, the door to the confidential room is locked tight."

Xiao Wang patted his chest and guaranteed it.

After reporting the important matters, Xiao Wang seemed to remember something, his expression became slightly strange, and he hesitated to speak.

Chen Jianguo glanced at him: "Speak your mind."

"Director, there's something else."

Xiao Wang leaned closer. "That Zhao Youcai came to the bureau to see you several times this morning."

Upon hearing this name, Chen Jianguo's brows instantly furrowed.

A hint of disdain even flashed in his eyes.

"What's he doing here?"

"He didn't explain in detail, he just squatted over there at the gatehouse."

Xiao Wang lowered his voice.

"He looked very disheveled, with a scruffy beard."

"I heard that after he was demoted to guard the gate of the reservoir, his wife had a big fight with him and went back to her parents' home."

Xiao Wang paused for a moment, observing Chen Jianguo's expression.

"He kept telling me that he ended up in this situation because he was trying to help you, and he wanted to see you."

Chen Jianguo was taken aback upon hearing this, then sneered and slammed his teacup heavily on the table.

"Bullshit!"

"He was caught red-handed by Lin Weimin for embezzlement, bribery, and fabricating false cases. That's his own fault! What does it have to do with me?"

Chen Jianguo became increasingly angry as he spoke.

How much did I have to plead with the old Party Secretary to get Zhao Youcai out of trouble?

Does he know?!

Now that this mess has finally been resolved, and I'm at a crucial juncture in my promotion, about to rise to the top, why does he have to stick to me at this time?

If Lin Weimin or the old Party Secretary were to find something to use against us, that would be disastrous!

Listen carefully.

Chen Jianguo pointed at Xiao Wang's nose.

"If this person comes again in the future, just say that I've gone to the countryside for an inspection and I don't have time to see him."

"Understood, understood!"

Seeing that the director was angry, Xiao Wang quickly nodded and bowed in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Jianguo waved his hand.

"By the way, ask the provincial department again tomorrow who wrote that perfect essay. Once the college entrance exam scores are released, it definitely won't be a secret anymore."

"Remind me about the celebration ceremony; I want to be there in person!"

"clear!"

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

......

After getting off work, Chen Jianguo hummed a Peking Opera tune and pushed open the door to his home in a great mood.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a rich aroma of braised pork.

"Old Chen is back!"

His wife, Wang Liping, came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of steaming hot food, her face beaming with smiles.

Chen Defu was sitting on the sofa watching TV when he heard the noise, so he quickly slipped on his slippers and ran over.

"Dad, I heard the results are coming out tomorrow?!"

Chen Defu's eyes lit up, and he asked impatiently.

Chen Jianguo hung his briefcase on the coat rack, changed his shoes, and sat down at the dining table.

He deliberately kept a straight face and remained silent, maintaining an air of superiority.

Chen Defu was so anxious that he scratched his head and quickly poured his father a glass of loose Moutai.

"Dad, stop keeping me in suspense! I heard it on the street today: the truck from the province delivering the results has already entered the city."

"How did it go?"

Chen Jianguo took a sip of his drink before slowly speaking:

"What's the rush?"

"The report cards have indeed arrived at the bureau and will be distributed to the various schools first thing tomorrow morning."

"Very good!"

Chen Defu suddenly clenched his fist, his face flushed with excitement.

"Dad, I've prepared all my clothes for tomorrow. I specially went to the department store in the city to buy a white polyester shirt!"

"When I show up at school tomorrow and get my report card, I'll absolutely scare those bookworms at No. 1 High School who look down on me to death!"

Wang Liping chimed in, beaming from ear to ear:

"That's right! Once Defu finishes university and comes back, let's see who dares to say Defu isn't cut out for studying!"

Seeing the smug look on the mother and son's faces, Chen Jianguo's face suddenly darkened.

"Snapped!"

He slammed his wine glass heavily on the table, startling Wang Liping and Chen Defu.

"Nonsense!"

Chen Jianguo glared at his son, his tone stern.

"I'm warning you, when you go to school tomorrow, you better keep your tail between your legs!"

Chen Defu looked aggrieved:

"Dad, you've already got everything in place, so why are you keeping a low profile?"

"Besides, Mom knows about this, that Liu Guang..."

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo whispered a rebuke and even glanced around.

He got used to doing it so much.

Even at home, they acted with extreme caution.

"Don't you know how this score came about? It was Liu Guangming's score!"

"Before I chose him, I had seen his usual mock exam scores. He performed normally, so getting into a top university was a sure thing."

Chen Jianguo pointed at his son's nose and began to lecture him earnestly.

"Everyone in the class knows what kind of person you are at school."

"If you suddenly showed off your outstanding grades everywhere, what would people think? Wouldn't they become suspicious?"

"Keep a low profile! Don't you even know what it means to keep a low profile!"

"When you pick up your report card tomorrow, just wear your usual clothes, nothing too fancy."

"When you get your results and people ask you about them, just say you performed exceptionally well and were lucky."

"Then, you go home right away and don't linger at school, understand?"

After being scolded by his father, Chen Defu deflated like a punctured balloon, losing most of his previous excitement.

But then he thought, as long as he gets that transcript, he'll go to university, no matter what others say.

"Okay, Dad, I'll do as you say. We'll keep a low profile and won't make a fuss!"

Chen Defu nodded repeatedly.

"I'm telling you, Old Chen..."

Wang Liping quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Don't be so cautious. Since all the records have been changed, the timing of the transcript forgery should have been arranged well in advance. What can possibly go wrong?"

"That's a woman's perspective! Better safe than sorry, keep your mouth shut!"
