Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Free House and Cash! Imperial Capital Military, Directly Striking at Home!
Jiangcheng Dingsheng Mining Group Asset Department.
In the spacious office, Lin Guodong leaned on the comfortable sofa chair and took a sip from the enamel cup on the table.
He actually felt a bit out of place.
Overnight, he transformed from a worker who had to do tough labor every day in the mines to the director of the asset department.
This morning, he arrived at the company at 7 o’clock and learned that the working hours here start at 11 o’clock.
He can leave work at 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
There is also a 2-hour lunch break at noon.
Moreover, there wasn’t any work that required his involvement. The whole office was filled with his subordinates, or employees of these subordinates doing the work.
All Lin Guodong needs to do each day is sign documents, and occasionally attend a meeting.
With the air conditioning blowing, Lin Guodong wore a smile on his face.
He wondered how Xiaoyi’s exam results were in the Imperial Capital.
Had the exam finished?
Although last night’s gold list made Lin Yi’s name known among all professionals in Dongjiang,
everyone in Lin Guodong’s circle is ordinary people.
For them, receiving relevant news always has a delay.
Even though a night has passed, Lin Guodong doesn’t know that his son has already achieved the first place nationwide.
Previously, being first in the province was enough to fill him with pride for a lifetime.
"Mr. Lin, what’s making you so happy? Share with us!"
A clear female voice rang out.
It was Liao, who had just been promoted in the office, speaking.
She is young and hasn’t been in the system for long, coupled with her outgoing personality.
So, while everyone else in the office avoided deep communication with Lin Guodong, the newly appointed officer, she was the first to speak up.
"Haha, it’s nothing much. My son did pretty well in the national exam yesterday, and luckily, he went to the Imperial Capital for the final round of exams. I wonder how he’s doing now."
"But it’s already enough. His achievements now have far exceeded my expectations for him, haha!"
The entire office perked up when they heard this.
Although they are not professionals themselves,
in this era,
everyone knows that professionals are considered superior, and many have relatives or friends who are professionals.
Naturally, they are aware of the significance of the national exam for professionals.
Liao exclaimed in surprise: "Ah!! Mr. Director Lin, my brother also took the national exam this year!"
"He told me yesterday that the top exam scorer in our Dongjiang is also surnamed Lin, could it be..."
Lin Guodong’s smile grew even broader: "Haha, it is him!"
Suddenly, the whole office became lively.
Liao, being simple-minded, was purely curious as to why Lin Guodong was so happy today.
While the others began to shower compliments back and forth.
Ring ring!
At this moment, Lin Guodong’s phone in his pocket rang.
Even though he has now been promoted to a departmental director, Lin Guodong still maintains his frugal habits.
This phone has a loud ringtone, large font, not many functions, and even the screen is half cracked, but he is reluctant to change it.
A phone only needs to be able to make calls and communicate.
The most important thing is that the call volume on this old-school phone is almost like a speaker; people in the office can basically hear whatever the person on the other side says.
Lin Guodong saw the caller ID showed the Imperial Capital and paused for a moment before realizing what it might be and hurriedly picked it up.
"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Guodong, Lin Yi’s father?"
Lin Guodong’s heart trembled.
An unfamiliar number, registered out of town.
Is it a scam?
"Yes, what’s the matter?"
Although suspicious, Lin Guodong decided to listen to find out what might be going on.
"Hello Mr. Lin Guodong! I am Mr. Chen from the admissions office of Imperial Capital Military University, you can call me Mr. Chen."
Not only Lin Guodong heard this.
Everyone in the office almost heard it.
Upon hearing the words Imperial Capital Military University, everyone was dumbfounded!
Then they took a deep breath!
The name of the person precedes the shadow of the school!
Even though they are not professionals, that does not prevent them from knowing some top professional institutions in the country!
Imperial Capital Military University.
It’s neither a 211 nor a 985.
Because this university is a military school!
And ranked seventh nationally!
That’s nationally, not just provincially!
Right now, a top-ranking professional school, ranking seventh nationwide, is actively calling Lin Guodong, for what?
One must not think too much about the question.
Thinking about it would feel a bit terrifying!
However, before Lin Guodong could compose his words, the person on the other side continued:
"The reason I am calling you today is to ask whether you would be interested in having your child enroll in our Imperial Capital Military University?"
"There’s no need to follow any volunteered application process; our leadership has already agreed to send Lin Yi a special admissions invitation."
Lin Guodong was at a loss!
He opened his mouth, finally stammering after a while: "Ah? Isn’t Xiaoyi still taking the exam in the Imperial Capital..."
Mr. Chen on the other end paused, then explained, "Oh, that’s my fault, I didn’t clarify with you."
"The national exam for this calendar year actually concluded last night, and your child, Lin Yi, has topped the exam, becoming the national champion!"
Lin Guodong heard the sound of a cup breaking.
Someone listening was so stunned.
They accidentally slipped and broke their cup.
Lin Guodong was trembling all over.
"What did you just say? Xiaoyi he..."
"First place! Mr. Lin, your child took first place nationwide; he is this year’s national champion!"
In the next moment, Lin Guodong felt a swirl of dizziness.
A surge of blood rushed to his brain,
making him feel overwhelmingly dizzy.
But Lin Guodong quickly forced himself to calm down. Having endured many hardships, he naturally has strong caution towards strangers.
"Are you really from Imperial Capital Martial Arts University?"
Mr. Chen hurriedly said on the other side, "My name is Chen Le, and I am calling you using the fixed number of our admissions office at Imperial Capital Military University. You can check online."
Lin Guodong never quite figured out how to use a mobile phone.
Naturally, he wouldn’t know how to use a computer to go online.
But Liao was already quickly typing Chen Le’s name on the keyboard.
After all, this is a top-ranking professional institution, ranking seventh nationally.
Even though Chen Le’s name is common across the nation, searching it generally brings up entries related to Imperial Capital Military University.
Clicking in reveals photos, job titles, associated departments, and phone numbers; nothing could be falsified.
Liao helped Lin Guodong verify the phone number once more, then nodded at him.
Mr. Chen heard Lin Guodong basically confirm he wasn’t a scammer.
He continued to add, "Furthermore, if Lin Yi can enroll in our school, considering the inconvenience of you and your spouse living apart from your child,"
"we decided on a plan to relocate you and your wife to live in the Imperial Capital. We will arrange permanent residency for you there, plus provide a quality residence within the third ring of Imperial Capital."
"In addition, our school is willing to provide a monthly scholarship of 500,000 Xia currency as a token of gratitude for your upbringing of Lin Yi."
