Chapter 2 University, I have left
But I cannot be blamed for this, can I? It was a matter of several hundred years ago; who can remember it so clearly?
The girl who initiated the conversation earlier clearly has some interest in Chen Taizhong. He is tall and has a decent appearance. The most crucial aspect is that, in order to cultivate emotional intelligence, he always wears a smile as bright as sunshine on his face, which is quite dazzling.
Of course, ever since he began his cultivation in his previous life, his contact with his parents had diminished. Over the following few hundred years, his parents had merely become a symbol in his mind. In this life, having the rare opportunity to see them again, Chen Taizhong was willing to do his utmost to keep his elderly parents happy.
The boy glanced at him warily, completely ignoring him. Instead, a girl sitting next to him, who was even less attractive than the girl in question, spoke up, "Her father is in business, so they must be wealthy."
Unfortunately, this footnote was not heard by the excited celestial being, Luo Tian Shang Xian, who is now fully focused on how to explain it to his parents
Merchant? This is a path. Chen Taizhong silently nodded. It is said that merchants are a group that interacts more with others, or perhaps I should become a merchant to cultivate my emotional intelligence
"Her father is the deputy director of the Labor Department," a female voice explained softly from the side
In the blink of an eye, the day of enrollment for new students arrived. Chen Taizhong declined his parents' offer to accompany him and, dragging his suitcase, arrived at the entrance of "Phoenix Academy"
In the next moment, he fell into deep thought, being an official... ? ... It seems to cultivate emotional intelligence even more, doesn't it
Fortunately, he is able to cultivate himself into an immortal, possessing a mind that is somewhat more intelligent than others. If he studies diligently, achieving high scores is not a problem. Except for the course on Political Economy, the other six subjects are all ones he has genuinely mastered through hard work.
Between parents and him, there exists familial affection, which also falls within the realm of emotional intelligence. Chen Taizhong believes that making an effort to honor and respect one's parents, listening to their words, and accommodating them contributes to the enhancement of one's emotional intelligence. Therefore, he took the college entrance examination
What are you talking about? Isn't studying here just a waste of time? Chen Taizhong is a person with strong opinions and a distinct personality. He turned around, dragged his suitcase, and said, "I want to become an official, I'm not going to school anymore"
He was pondering when another group of people approached, still led by a girl. Surrounding her were not only five or six boys but also three individuals who appeared to be teachers.
Ironically, this remark was overheard by that girl who loves to interject. Watching his departing figure, she was exceptionally astonished, "No way? A high school student, without a diploma, do you have the qualifications to hold office? Have you lost your mind?"
No way? It’s not that the heat rash is more attractive; what he is thinking of is not the clusters of small bumps that typically appear on a person's body, but rather the maid of Ziling. The term 'heat rash' is a nickname given to her by Chen Taizhong.
As soon as this news was published in the Phoenix Daily, Chen Taizhong immediately took his savings and rushed to register. He could no longer tolerate the incessant nagging from his parents; he needed to become an official as soon as possible
He originally intended to apply to universities in other regions, as that would be relatively more free. However, his mother's tearful eyes made him change his choice at the first moment. Well, Phoenix Academy is actually quite good.
More than a month later, the results were announced, and Chen Taizhong achieved high scores to be admitted to the local university—Phoenix College
To be honest, he has no interest in attending university at all. The reason he is taking the college entrance examination is quite simple: because his parents want him to.
Every step is fraught with danger? Upon thinking of this, Chen Taizhong felt an inexplicable surge of excitement in his heart. Alright, the officialdom has been decided; I will immerse myself in it. Having stayed there for a long time, it is bound to lead to a qualitative leap in my emotional intelligence.
"It's strange, such an unattractive woman," After a while, he managed to control his emotions and gently shook his head, "How could she be more appealing than the one just now?"
His parents were as happy as could be, which left him somewhat puzzled: Did they ever express such joy when I got into university in my previous life
Oh, thank you. This time, Chen Taizhong did not forget his manners. Look at this, my friend’s emotional intelligence; this is indeed a step forward, isn't it
Chen Taizhong is not very worldly, but he is not foolish. Reflecting on himself, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment rise within him, reminiscent of the recent casual flipping through "The Deer and the Cauldron"
Therefore, in the officialdom, it is undoubtedly a perilous situation at every step
So, is it still necessary to attend this university
This girl is quite popular, and Chen Taizhong, driven by curiosity, glanced at her a couple of times. Being tall, he was not obstructed by the people around him.
His words remain as unrestrained as ever, yet he has indeed become considerably more restrained.
He thought about it, but when he considered that he still had to continue studying for four more years, Chen Taizhong felt a bit of a headache. The more he learned, wouldn't he just become a bookworm? It seemed to be quite contrary to his plan of cultivating emotional intelligence.
Looking up at the four large characters "Phoenix Academy," which are said to have been written by a famous person, Chen Taizhong sighed and staggered inside
He turned his head and noticed a boy looking enviously at the group of people. He couldn't help but approach and strike up a conversation, "Senior, who is this girl? She's not that good-looking, right? Why are so many people surrounding her?"
Just as he took a few steps into the school, a group of people surged behind him, five or six young students, surrounding a girl like stars surrounding the moon, some engaging in conversation, some helping with luggage, making a commotion as they approached
However, the affairs of the world are indeed so unreasonable that the girl never dreamed that in 1996, the city of Phoenix began to pilot civil servant examinations
In this examination, since it is the first time held in Phoenix City, everyone is navigating through uncharted waters. Whether it is to reflect the government's principle of "embracing diverse talents," due to oversight, or for some other reason, there are, in any case, no restrictions on the educational qualifications of the applicants
He looked down upon the martial arts described in the book, yet the author made a few insightful remarks that subtly instilled in him a sense of reverence—there is no place in the world where the human heart is more treacherous than in a brothel and a palace!
After careful reflection for half a day, he simply could not recall whether he had been admitted to university in his previous life. Alas, look at this memory.
The ability to make a once celestial being feel nauseated is truly remarkable; the destructive power of this girl's appearance is astonishing beyond measure
This must be a beautiful woman, right? Chen Taizhong raised his eyes and felt a tumultuous upheaval in his stomach.
