On the day the examination results were announced, the announcement board in the whole military district was surrounded by thick crowds.
"Do you think Mr. Gu can get in?"
"I doubt it! I heard there's only one spot, and all the young talents in the military district have their eyes on it."
"Yeah, Mr. Gu hasn't touched a book in years, what can he learn in a month?"
"Isn't it his college graduate wife who's pushing him? I think he's just going through the motions, and not coming in last would already be good."
Amidst the crowd, a young man dressed in regimental officer's uniform squeezed in. His name was Zhang Jianjun, also a strong contender for the study spot.
"Make way, make way!"
Zhang Jianjun pushed through the crowd, a smile of confidence on his face.
"It's just a report card, what's so interesting? The result was decided long ago."
