Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Even if you're not a student cadre, it's fine. This is just a bonus point, not a requirement."

Li Zhongxian said.

Then he also said:

"Additionally, you can try harder to participate in more activities, such as debate competitions, science and technology contests, and so on. Receiving commendations and awards at the school level or above will also become bonus points."

Xiao Hua nodded. Only now did he understand why some students were so enthusiastic about participating in various activities right after starting university. It turned out these were all things that could add points to his resume after graduation.

Of course, those like Wan Zhiyuan who took the research route naturally didn't need these flashy bonus points. What he needed was to produce research results and publish papers in top journals. That was the real bonus point for him.

"When next semester starts, I'll pay attention and see if I can strive for some resources for you."

Xiao Hua replied.

Li Zhongxian continued:

"These bonus points are not absolutely necessary. If you feel you can't handle them, you don't have to force yourself. The most important thing is that you must outcompete others in the Selected Graduate exam. The Selected Graduate exam and the general civil servant exam have similar procedures, divided into two parts: written exam and interview. The written exam tests Administrative Aptitude Test and Essay Writing, while the interview mainly examines comprehensive analysis, organizational coordination, verbal expression, and other abilities."

Li Zhongxian paused, then continued:

"So, if your studies aren't too busy, starting next semester you can begin learning the content of Administrative Aptitude Test and Essay Writing. Additionally, you can try to participate in some debate competitions. Even if you don't win awards, it will still add points for your future interview. An interview is actually just another form of debate."

Xiao Hua felt as if he had been enlightened, and hurriedly raised a glass to Li Zhongxian:

"Uncle, I toast to you. No matter whether I take the official career route in the future, I sincerely thank you for these words you told me tonight! I'll finish mine, you do as you please!"

Xiao Hua drank it all in one gulp. He thanked Li Zhongxian from the bottom of his heart.

To those who know, this information is worthless; but to those who don't know, it's simply priceless.

And Xiao Hua obviously belonged to the latter.

Most importantly, he actually didn't have a very clear plan for his own future.

Before dating Li Jianjia, he buried himself in studying, simply not wanting to fall behind the other three roommates in the dorm.

As for whether to take the research route in the future, he himself wasn't too sure. Especially after realizing there was a huge gap between himself and Wan Zhiyuan, Wen Lingyun in terms of IQ and aptitude, he became even more wavering in his heart.

Later, after confirming a romantic relationship with Li Jianjia, he had a bond, which accelerated the change in his thinking, making him feel that actually returning to the countryside to develop after graduation might not be a bad thing.

However, returning to the countryside to develop was just a vague concept. How to return, how to develop—he didn't have a detailed plan.

And now, Li Zhongxian was guiding him to make a detailed plan.

Take the official career route, strive to obtain the identity of a Selected Graduate, then start from the grassroots in his hometown.

This route could both take care of his relationship with Li Jianjia and his own future prospects.

It could be said to be a very ideal life route.

"You're too polite. Between us, why be so polite with me? I finished mine too. Xiao Hua, your drinking capacity has improved a lot compared to before!"

Li Zhongxian laughed heartily.

Xiao Hua hurriedly said:

"It's all because Uncle, you taught well. Last time I drank too hastily. This time I didn't drink so hastily. One bite of dish, one sip of wine, naturally I didn't get drunk so quickly. But compared to Uncle, your drinking capacity, I'm still far behind."

Li Zhongxian said with a smile:

"Drink a few more times, and your drinking capacity will improve... By the way, I heard there's a very beautiful Guanyin Mountain near your hometown. My family has nothing to do tomorrow. How about we go to Guanyin Mountain together for a stroll? And pay a visit to Guanyin Temple along the way."

Xiao Hua hurriedly nodded in agreement:

"Okay, okay."

That night, Xiao Hua and Li Zhongxian drank a lot.

In the end, Xiao Hua got drunk first.

After Li Jianjia helped Xiao Hua back to the room to rest, her face full of displeasure, she came out to blame Li Zhongxian:

"Dad, can't you stop letting Xiao Hua drink so much wine? Drinking too much is bad for the body!"

Li Zhongxian, however, smiled and said:

"Don't blame Dad. I'm doing it for his own good. If he really takes the official career route in the future, he can't not know how to drink. Training his drinking capacity in advance is beneficial for him."

Li Jianjia frowned, speechless.

Li Zhongxian said to Li Jianjia:

"Go make Xiao Hua a glass of lemon water. Lemon water helps sober up."

Li Jianjia made a cup of lemon water and went in, finding Xiao Hua lying on the bed, his expression muddled.

"Where's my mobile phone?"

Xiao Hua groped around looking for his mobile phone.

Li Jianjia said:

"Maybe you left it outside the living room. Drink the lemon water first to sober up. I'll go get it for you."

"Okay, thank you, Jianjia." Xiao Hua took a sip of lemon water, then said:

"Go get my mobile phone and bring it in. I need to call my mom."

"It's so late. Why are you calling your mom? Didn't you already tell her you're not coming home tonight?"

Li Jianjia's face was full of confusion, thinking Xiao Hua was talking nonsense because he was drunk.

Xiao Hua, however, said:

"I need to tell her that tomorrow your dad and mom are coming to our home as guests. Let her prepare in advance."

Li Jianjia laughed and cried at the same time:

"It seems you're really drunk. My dad just said tomorrow he'd go to Guanyin Mountain on your side to look around, but he didn't say he'd go to your hometown."

Wang Xiao Hu's eyes were bleary with drunkenness, but his thoughts were still clear, and he said:

"That's just your dad's tactful way of putting it. Sightseeing at Guanyin Mountain is a pretext; coming to my house is his real purpose."

Li Jianjia, hearing this, was stunned, then suddenly realized:

"I knew it. How could he suddenly say he wanted to go sightseeing at Guanyin Mountain?"

Then she said:

"I'll go get your mobile phone right now."

Li Jianjia went out to the living room to get Wang Xiaohua's mobile phone.

Seeing her parents still sitting in the living room watching TV, she couldn't help asking:

"Dad, are we going to Xiao Hua's hometown tomorrow?"

Li Zhongxian chuckled:

"If it's on the way, then we'll make a trip."

"Guanyin Mountain isn't far from his hometown, so how could it not be on the way?" Li Jianjia sighed, then blamed him: "If you want to go to his house, just say so directly. Why say you want to go to Guanyin Mountain? All this beating around the bush—I've been led around by you."

"Xiao Hua guessed my intention?" Li Zhongxian was stunned.

Li Jianjia said honestly:

"He guessed it long ago. He asked me to bring the mobile phone in so he could call his mom and have her prepare in advance to receive us."

Li Zhongxian, hearing this, nodded with satisfaction:

"Very good, very good. I just like his perceptiveness."

After Li Jianjia took the mobile phone back to the room, Zhao Xintong looked worried.

She furrowed her brow and said in a low voice to Li Zhongxian:

"I don't know why, but I feel this Wang Xiaohua is a bit scary."
